Speaker 3 (01:36):
Alex, how you bob?

Speaker 5 (01:37):
You mailed out a thousand tickets? What was the postage
on that?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
It was one hundred and forty eight dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
That's a lot of stamps.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, a lot of stamps.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
But I bought him a Costco so you know, I'll
get one percent.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Past to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Plus you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And my wife is like, why did you just put
everybody on a guest list? And I said, okay, here's
why I don't like doing that. First of all, when
you get something in the mail, physically get something in
the mail, you feel special. You know, You're like, okay,
that guy thought about me and put something in the mail.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Like remember when we were kids and we took box
tops and sent away for something. Absolutely, and you got
it physical that you get right, But when you got
that in the mail, it doesn't don't matter how crappy was.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
You got really excited.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah, and you became like a lifelong fan of whatever
cereal it was. Did you fill out every envelope? Oh yeah, no, no, no,
I what I did. We had we had two hundred
and two hundred and two requests, and so we had
four tickets each, So that's eight hundred. It was like
eight hundred and eight tickets. And all I wrote is
ding dong and then my name on a piece of paper.

(02:38):
My wife stuffed them all, addressed them all, put the
stamps on them all, and sent them all out.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
So we're like a wellway.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Machine doing the big work there.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's right. Yeah. And I enjoyed it too.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
We sat together watching TV, I don't know whatever it
was and putting stamps on envelopes.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Old school, old school.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's gonna be a fun time. As a matter of fact,
if you'd like to, we've got extras. I know who
to talk to, that's right. Saturday, Sandy and Derby come on,
let's roll out there, all right?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
So Sonny and Share.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes, yeah, amazing, they're back, right, the duo is back.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, Sunny and Butch, they were all smiles today that
for the first time they came out publicly and talked
about coming back and what life has been like.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
They've been back for about two weeks.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
And they say they're feeling good and they have thanks
for everybody involved getting them home after they thought they
were going up for eight days and they got stuck. Nope,
we can't say stuck up there, because they say, and
NASA says, we can't say they were stuck. But they
no anger at all. Huh yeah, no anger whatsoever. But
they could not get home for nine months.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
And Sunday Saturday, feeling good since we've been back almost
two weeks now, actually went out and ran three miles yesterday.
So I will give myself a little pat on the back.
Our trainers are rocking it and getting us ready to
get back to help out with the new astronauts. They're
getting ready for their mission. So the biggest thing I
want to say was thank you.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
Yeah, I know, I didn't go run three miles I
know Krozer probably did, but I'm guessing.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Did you run three miles yesterday?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Tim Buddy?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
I drove nineteen miles from the track and I was exhausted.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
That's right, She's out there running and feeling gravity.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And did you hear the amount of money they get
for being in the space station the overtime?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
They get five bucks a day?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Is that it?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Five dollars?

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Jury duty?

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Isn't that craven?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Worse than jury duty?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Right?

Speaker 5 (04:27):
I think you get fifteen bucks if you go down
to the courthouse in downtown LA.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And you're stuck with this. You know, the woman with
this crazy hair for eight months?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Well, she said when she got back her first homemade meal,
grilled cheese, that that's what she wanted. Her dad was
a vegetarian loved grilled cheese, so she made a grilled
cheese sandwich. She said, big hugs for her husband and
their dogs when she got home, in that order, husband,
then dogs, and but said embracing his family was a
big part of getting home, and he said big thanks

(04:56):
to everybody they were though, asked him about who was
it full for the star Liner the Boeing star Liner
launching and not being able to bring them home and
having problems, and Butch and commander's style said, well, to
blame him. He doesn't like to use blame, but he
said his commander, he should ask more questions.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
But what are the questions like does this have GAD?

Speaker 5 (05:17):
This isn't going to fail us? And I bring us home?
But he said responsibility that there are others involved as well.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
He said this, I'll start and point the finger and
I'll blame me. I could ask some questions and the
answers to those questions could have turned the tide. So
blame that's a term.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I don't like that term.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
But certainly there's responsibility throughout all the programs, and certainly
you can you can start with me, Responsibility with Boeing, Yes,
responsibility with NASA.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yes, and they should have figured it out. The other
thing that they were asked is would you fly on
star Liner again? And both of them immediately said yes,
of course, because these problems are going to be fixed,
and they think it's going to be an awesome capsule,
an awesome way to go.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
They love it. Yes, because we're.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
Going to rectify all the issues that we that we encountered. Yeah,
we're going to fix we're gonna make it work. Boeings
completely committed. NASA is completely committed, And with that I
get on a heartbeat.

Speaker 8 (06:16):
And then I would agree.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
The spacecraft is really capable.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
She says, it's better in some ways and any other spacecraft.
It's more maneuverable. It can do things that SpaceX can't do.
But they got to fix the problems. But they also
said tim all the politics of the Biden white House
getting them home versus a Trump white house that did
they say that they weren't paying attention to that they
had been absorbed into the International Space Station crew and
that they had jobs up there and experiments and things

(06:41):
to do. That they were like, whatever, we'll get home.
But the politics of it, they really weren't hearing up there.
But they say they're happy to be back on Earth.
They feel good. They're gonna help the next astronauts get
ready to head on up and coach them and get
them ready, and they would go again. If NASA said hey,
you want to go back in Starliner.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
It made him very popular.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I mean, you know, we wouldn't know who these two
were unless they were stuck up there. I got two
questions for you. Yeah, does Sonny know the definition.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Of vegan Jesus not on the list?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
And then the second question, did you go to the
Golden Mics or did you win a Golden Mic?

Speaker 9 (07:20):
This?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
I did not. I did not win one this year.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
I yeah, no, but I saw many who did and
many who won a lot?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, I gotta get the list. Did you win Croch
did you win one? I did not know? Did you
submit anything one thing? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Angel won? Angel was up for four four Golden Mics. Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:41):
You want to still be hung over? That why she's
not here today?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Do you want to know what she was up for?
Real quick? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Traffic on the four or five take side streets. Perfect,
traffic on the ten takes side streets.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh, that's award winning right there.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Traffic on the seven to ten takes side street, so
that one wasn't that was one.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, that one wasn't up for it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
And traffic on the six oh five side streets.

Speaker 8 (08:10):
That was one such range.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
And she won for traffic on the six soh five
takes side streets.

Speaker 8 (08:16):
Wow, congratulations Angel Martinez.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
She knocked it out. I saw Deborah Mark won a bunch,
Is that right, yeah, how many? How many she went to.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Walked away with like two or three?

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Three?

Speaker 8 (08:26):
Three?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (08:27):
That's great.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
Congratulations Deborah, that's terrific.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, great, those golden mics.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Man, you know, John Colbert, we were talking about this
during the break has broken more news on the station,
I think than anybody, and he's gotten over his life zero.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
It was a soap star that was like that with
what the emmans.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, buddy, I appreciate you coming on and
if you want to take it.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
It's a Saturday for the sanity to Derby. Let me know.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I'll a text him to absolutely alight. There it goes
Alex Stone with ABC News. That guy's great. He deserves
a Golden Mic. Who else won at the station? We
should write, Hey.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Richie, what did he win for?

Speaker 8 (09:20):
He won two Golden mics?

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Oh that's great. What did he win for?

Speaker 9 (09:23):
Hey, guys, I won Sorry i'm cutting audio over here
for your show?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Okay, is that what you won for? Yes? Hey, guys,
what's up? Never mind?

Speaker 9 (09:35):
I won one with Steve Gregory and Jacob Gonzalez for
best Radio News, Talk Show or Public Affairs. Okay, you
know for Studio six forty. So the next the next
one is for sex, drugs and social Media for Winter

(09:56):
best radio long form program or documentary.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Let me let me write a note out for Richie here,
Dear Richie in the future, please don't mention the station
where former KFI employees currently work. Love Tim Okay x

(10:27):
Len give that to Rachie. All right, We're live on KFI.
KFI Am six is the Conway Show. We had a
new company form today, or actually I should say a
new company went public today. And that company who went
public today is Newsmax. Newsmax maybe heard on the station,

(10:49):
a conservative network on cable and satellite, and they went
public today with their you know, they had a public
offering and it opened it fifteen dollars a share, and
it closed it eighty three dollars and fifty one cents.
So if you bought it at fifteen you're up seven

(11:11):
hundred and thirty five percent. You're up seventy three dollars
and fifty one cents if you bought it at the
absolute low, which is very difficult to do. I think
you have to be an insider to hit that opening price.
I don't think it's really offered to the general public.
But as the day went on. At eleven am, it

(11:32):
was at fifteen dollars and eighty nine cents, and by
noon it was at seventy two dollars. So somebody got
in on that, and then it closed at eighty three
dollars and fifty one cents.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
I heard somebody today.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
On TV say, oh, this Newsmax went public, but they've
never made a profit, right, they've never made a profit. Okay,
all right, Well that's probably right, it's probably fair. But
guess who also didn't make a profit for the first
seven years of that company's life?

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Amazon? Amazon did not Amazon Open.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
I think they started that company in nineteen ninety four
and they didn't make a profit until late twenty twenty one.
They went seven years without making a profit, seven years,
and the stock capt doubling and tripling and quadrupling. And
I don't know what it is, you know now, I
can't imagine it's you know, under a thousand bucks or

(12:31):
you know, thousands of times for money if you got
in on Amazon. But it just it's another sign, you know,
of people here in the LA media.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
They hate everything conservative.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
And so when when the guy who said this on
TV said, oh, they have made a profit, it just
shows you know how much conservatives are hated in LA media.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Hated, absolute hate it. And I know who did it.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I'm not going to bust the guy's balls who did this,
but he's one of these, you know. He hates conservatives
and hates Trump and it shows. And then you start
to you start to wonder if you can get real
news out of somebody like that, you know, or whether
everything he does is tainted. He does a business report

(13:23):
on one of the local stations. You probably know who
it is, and but he said, oh, Newsmax went public today,
but don't get in on that, or if you do
get on that, watch out because they haven't made a
profit at all. Well they it's still young again. Amazon
went seven years without making a profit. So I don't

(13:45):
think people judge companies immediately anymore by whether you make
a profit in the first week that you're up.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
All right, we've got we didn't expect any of this rain,
this rain that came in over the weekend. I didn't
hear anybody last week, like early last week.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Talk about it.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
As a matter of fact, I was watching the weather
and they said for the next ten days, it's gonna
be nice with no clouds, no rain, nothing, And then
we got hit by rain. And now it looks like
we're gonna we might get more rain. But I don't
know if you saw this up in the Lake Tahoe area,
they have a storm going up in Lake Tahoe right
now where they're expecting fifty five zero fifty inches of rain,

(14:31):
fifty inches of rain, and so it looks like we're
not gonna have any rain. And again, as soon as
I say that it's gonna rain, it's gonna rain, but
the but local forecasts are not calling for any rain.
A little bit today, sprinkles, but nothing tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, nothing.

(14:54):
Wednesday of next week, no rain at all. But then
all of a sudden, they'll be rain. I don't know what.
Whether they just can't call it anymore or it's laziness,
I don't know. But it's supposed to be absolutely beautiful
and it's gonna get up to eighty degrees next Tuesday.
So a week from tomorrow it's gonna be eighty and
then a week from Wednesday it's gonna reach almost ninety

(15:15):
degrees in the valley. We've got some heat coming in
and that'll be a cool deal Lancaster. I know, we
got a lot of people deve up Lancaster who listen
to KFI. It's gonna be the highs are only in
the upper fifties tomorrow and Wednesday, then low sixties, the
mid sixties, and then you're gonna again reaching the low
eighties to mid eighties by next Wednesday. So it looks

(15:37):
like we're gonna get some real spring weather a week
from Wednesday. A week from Wednesday, they're calling for a
hell of a lot of snow up in the mountains
in the Sierras, unbelievable. Seven to nine inches in Mammoth Mountain.
That's just today. Seven to nine inches today, two to

(15:58):
four inches tomorrow, and then like that'll be it for
a while. And so if you're going up to Mammoth
or that area, bring chains if you're going today or tomorrow,
unless you have four wheel drive or all wheel drive.
If you live near the beach in southern California, maybe
you've made a couple of bucks, live near the beach,
Good for you, you made it. Congratulations. Highs will only

(16:20):
be in the low sixties until Saturday, low seventies until
Wednesday of next week, and then.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Eighty degrees at the beach.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
If you're a mountain guy, you know you love the mountains,
love enjoy going to these mountains. Highs in only in
the low forties Tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday the highest thirty
seven degrees in the mountains. Thirty seven degrees, that's the
high and then next Wednesday, when the heat wave comes in,

(16:48):
they'll get up to sixty four degrees. All right, that
about covers everything. I guess, right, yeah, I guess that
could out covers southern California. But it's gonna be nice,
it's gonna beautiful, and it's going to warm up a
week from Wednesday. That's when the heat comes in. That's
where we'll feel like spring and get the spring cleaning
going a week or maybe this weekend and maybe next

(17:09):
weekend as well. All Right, we're live on KFI AM
at six forty.

Speaker 10 (17:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
KFI AM six forty. It is The Conway Show. We
did a story last week on this restaurants. These restaurants
on Sunset Bulevard or closing, and one of them was
La Petite four, which is on the Sunset Strip. Well,
it turns out, I guess somebody saved the day. Maybe
a lot of people showed up, maybe they heard it
on KFI. I don't know, but they showed up and

(17:41):
are gonna save this restaurant. They're gonna save the restaurant.
That's a great deal. So anytime a restaurant goes out
of business, it's horrible, especially one that's that has great food.
Like I've only eaten there once in my life, at
the Petite Four, and two buddies of mine who go

(18:01):
over there all the time, they say, why don't you
come on buy? And I had a pizza was great.
I thought it was one of the best pizza I've
ever had. And it's a little pricey, you know, just
like a like a pasta dish, angel hair, pecante, fresh tomato, basil,
roasted garlic, extra virgin olive oil.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's all it is.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's about, you know, eighty cents worth of food, maybe
a dollar, maybe two bucks, and on the menu it's
twenty four dollars. I don't know how a restaurant that
serves angel hair with tomato and basil charging twenty four dollars,
cannot stay in business. There seems to be a profit

(18:43):
margin there. But on the other stuff, it's very reasonably
be reasonably priced like the entrees at Look, this is
not a commercial for them. They're not an advertiser here.
I'm just telling you if you want a great steak,
I saw. I smelled the steaks when I was there.
They smell great. That grilled filet mignam fifty five bucks,

(19:05):
which is not a bad price, not a bad price
for a nice ass steak, center cut filet mignon serve
with with potatoes, mashed potatoes and a glaze sauce. Oh boy,
fifty four ninety five. So they're going to stay in business.
That's great news for Les Petite four. I guess right,

(19:26):
there's how many of them, He's got to be at
least four, and I know there's one in Sherman Oaks,
but this one's on Sunset Boulevard and they're staying open.

Speaker 11 (19:34):
Last week, La Petite four on the Sunset Strip in
West Hollywood announced plans to close after four decades.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yes, we did that story. After forty years, they're going
to shut it down.

Speaker 11 (19:45):
Last night, the owners announced they will remain open after all.
They say, one day before they were planning to shut
down for good. They got a flood of reservations and
business and support on social media.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Okay, Look, you can make a difference by showing up
at these restaurants or I don't know, making a donation
or going online and spreading the word that this restaurant's
about to close. But I think a lot of people
live in that area near that Sunset plaza. They love
this restaurant, and so I'm glad it's staying open. They
should all stay open. We should all go out there

(20:17):
and support these restaurants. They're all getting they're all getting robbed.
They all have insurance to pay. They all have at
least to pay. They got to pay the employees. They
got to pay the electric, the gas, the water. They
got to pay to advertise. There's a lot of money
that goes out of a restaurant in salaries and insurance advertising.

(20:41):
As I said, there's a lot of money. It's very
expensive to run a restaurant, and it's very expensive to
have a successful restaurant. You know, get to get food
in there, is expensive to get food delivery trucks to
go to Sunset Plaza is probably a huge pain in
the ass for the guy dropping stuff off. There's always
traffic there and you'd have to get in, you know,

(21:02):
you would have to maneuver your truck into the back
of that restaurant where the parking is, and it's always
tight there.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
There's always a million cars.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
I bet the guys and gals who deliver food to
Le Petite four hate that delivery. It's probably a pain
in the ass. But anyway, so all of that said,
they're going to save that restaurant. So congratulations, that's great news,
great great news. All right, speaking of food and egg substitute,
big recall here. Like to tell you about recalls, so

(21:31):
you don't die. It's our job to keep you live
as long as you can, especially KFI listeners. We like
to keep you alive. And these eggs substitute, well, they
could cut that short.

Speaker 12 (21:43):
Check your refrigerator because more than two hundred and twelve
pounds of liquid egg substitutes are being recalled over the
possibility that they could contain bleach. The effective products are
from the egg Beaters and bob Evans brands. We are
that egg Beaters and Bob Evans egg Beaters and Bob
Evans brands. The recalled items have G one eight zero

(22:06):
four printed on the car.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
That's a bad Bingo number. There's your Bengo number. G
G all right, I got G what else?

Speaker 3 (22:13):
One?

Speaker 12 (22:14):
Eight?

Speaker 3 (22:14):
G one eight? Okay, I got G one A one.

Speaker 12 (22:17):
Eight zero four just missed it printed on the car.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
How many people are reading their egg substitute carton while
they're on the toilet. It's gone through them, its bleached
them out, their stomach's on fire, and they're reading about
it on the can g.

Speaker 8 (22:35):
They have the carton.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Because well, I'm glad you asked Belliam, because they ate
this stuff. They got sick and they wanted to read
it while they are in the bathroom, and so they
have the egg carton with them and reading and waiting
to listen to kfive for their call letters.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
So they have you on, that's.

Speaker 8 (22:57):
Right, And they're reading their egg cart and they.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Got the egg Beaters post egg Beaters, that's right? Or
or Daryl Evans or Bob Evans get those guys mixed.

Speaker 12 (23:07):
Up egg Beaters and Bob Evans or Bob Evans.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Who's Daryl Evans Oh, he's the guy who at the Kings.
Oh no, he's probably different from the egg beaters there.

Speaker 12 (23:17):
We called items have G one eight zero four printed
on the carton. Officials say that these products were distributed nationwide, including.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Kind of bleach get into the egg beaters, that's what
I ask.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (23:29):
I don't know here in California. So you were urged
to throw them out if you do have.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Them, yeah, or take them back. But that sort of
serves you, right if you're gonna eat a bunch of
fake eggs and all these fake people eating fake.

Speaker 8 (23:43):
Eggs egg beaters, you eat that? I do?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Really, you don't. You don't eat real eggs.

Speaker 8 (23:48):
I do eat real eggs as well, But I what
is egg beaters?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
I don't even say what it is?

Speaker 8 (23:53):
Fake eggs?

Speaker 1 (23:55):
And and what is what's the difference? Does it taste
the same? No, it's worse. It's worse, okay, and it's
more expensive probably.

Speaker 8 (24:03):
Mm no, no, no.

Speaker 9 (24:05):
No, they're basically just you'll free eggs because it's egg whites.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Oh it is? Yeah? Oh okay, all right, so you're
sort of a vegan?

Speaker 8 (24:15):
No, no, no, I do it for cholesterol reasons.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh you do okay, all right, okay, I didn't know
whether you were doing that for cholesterol reasons or not.
I didn't want to get it, didn't I didn't want to.
I didn't want to tell everybody your your cholesterols through
the room.

Speaker 8 (24:29):
Tends to be high.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yeah, okay, I should know that, Tim, I should know that.
I should know that.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
Yeah, how's your cholesterol? Can we talk about that?

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah? Mine's high.

Speaker 8 (24:39):
Last time, you should try egg beaters.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Well, I don't know if I'm going there. We're not
just the bleach from egg beaters. Brian Reagan had a
funny response. He went to a stand up comedian, Brian Reagan.
He went to his doctor's office and the doctor said, well,
I got bad news, And Brian said, oh, let me
guess my cholesterol is high. He says, yeah, how'd you guess?
He was, Well, you told me it was high last

(25:01):
year and I did nothing about it.

Speaker 8 (25:02):
That's my favorite line.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
And he's sitting there in the doctor's office and he
has Burger King coupon's in his shirt pocket.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Oops, sorry doc, Sorry mom.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
I wonder if that's ever happened where you go to
a doctor's appointment and he says, okay, take off your
clothes and put this robe on, and then a pack
of cigarettes falls out, and both you and the doctor
just stare at the pack. I bet that's happened.

Speaker 8 (25:30):
Awkward.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I bet that has happened. I bet that's happened almost
every doctor. You know, Hey, I put this on bang?
Oh so yuh open pack of cigarettes?

Speaker 3 (25:42):
All right?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
How's that?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
I thought you said you quit smoking. There's an open
pack of cigarettes on the floor. How'd that get here?
And then and then you feel like you're at the
principal's office. Immediately, you feel like mom is getting down
on your dad's getting down on you. I had a
friend of mine who went to the doctor, and you
know how they put your chart in the door that crazy.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yeah sort of shelf or folder?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah yeah, folder holder, right, that's exactly what they probably
sell him as the folder holder on the door. And
he pulled out his folder to read it, and it
said obese circled two underlines, whoa ob circled two underlines,
And he paid the doctor at the end of that visit.

(26:29):
I think it's another thing. I think it's another Brian
Reagan line. It's the only guy in the world you
pay to insult you the doctor.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
I rely on k.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
K AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
It's Conway show. Your wild life crossing is nearly done.
It's going to be finished next year. So all the
mountain lines that are in the Santa Monica Mountains can
now come into the San Fernando Valley and eat your
cats and your dogs. That is what's going to be happening,
the wild line life crossing. So it's up there, just

(27:03):
pass Lost virgin Is before. I don't know when else
is up there before. It's between Lost virgin Is and Westlake,
and it's going to be I think it costs like
one hundred and twenty eight million dollars. But I think
it's just odd that work is being done on that

(27:24):
overpass while there are fourteen thousand homes for human beings
that need to be replaced. And I know a lot
of people say we can do both things at once.
I'm telling you it's strange they were working on an
overpass for mountain lions when fourteen thousand people need their

(27:46):
homes rebuilt in southern California, and those mountain lions can
get over the freeway and under the freeway like we
do underpasses and overpasses. They do it all the time,
so they don't need their own bridge. And what makes

(28:07):
them think that the mountain lions are going to use
that bridge? Don't you think they're pretty They would be
pretty suspicious. So for why there's a bridge over this
freeway and it's just for them, I think it's a
waste of time and a waste of money. I know
there's a lot of people out there that get pissed
off about that, but it's just my opinion. I think

(28:30):
it's a complete waste of time and waste of money.
And those mountain lions they eat dogs, cats, squirrels, rabbits,
what else, they eat coyotes and so eventually those mountain
lions are going to come over the bridge and eat
your dog.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
How about that.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
You paid and help paid for a bridge to eat
your dog. And so when you hear your dog being
taken off by a mountain lion, you'll think, Ah, the bridge,
Thank god we fixed and put the bridge in.

Speaker 8 (29:08):
What about the collisions with vehicles.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, there's a couple of those, but those happen with
people too, you know. And I think there's enough overpasses
that underpasses on the one on one freeway that those
mountain lions can get around and if they don't, look
it's a big city. I know they were here first,
but guess what, we're here now. We're here now and

(29:32):
we dominate, so we'd like them to survive. But I
think hearing the screeching noise of your dog or cat
being hauled off by a mountain lion is something you
don't get over.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Very easily.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
If you have a dog you love and that dog
was carried off by a mountain lion, you would never
get over there or take you a long time, very
long time, unless you're one of those people like, well,
it's just nature. It's just nature. Yep, Buffy was eaten
by and that's just nature.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
That's nature. Find out what's going on with this bridge.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Cruise placing the first layer of soil over the surface
of the Wallas and Enburg Wildlife Crossing at at Gura Hills.
This launches what will become a nearly one acre native
wildlife habitat that will grow across ten lanes of the
US one O one freeway in the city.

Speaker 6 (30:19):
Really getting emotional about this thinking about the first what
I call nature's going on this wildlife crossing.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Caltran's constructing the wildlife crossing over the one on one
freeway west of Liberty Canyon Road to reconnect habitat that
is vital for wildlife to survive and thrive. We won't
have these these animals being killed on our freeway.

Speaker 13 (30:40):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's that's the teast that sometimes
gets lost. Right, It's not just the environmental component of
this project, it's the it's the human cost. Right. Vehicle
wildlife collisions are an eight billion dollars a year problem
in the United States, and crossings like this help to
solve that issue.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Coverage Okay, eight billion dollars nationally, but what are they locally?
Maybe a million two million where your car gets total
because you hit.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
A mountain lion. I've never heard of that, by the way,
never heard of it.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Covering the whole surface of the crossing will require approximately
six thousand cubic yards of top soil, or.

Speaker 13 (31:16):
We're building an entire soil profile from that microbial activity
all the way up to the Apex predator. And so
having that variability of soil depth, having some rock habitat
types up there give us the ability to accommodate not
only those things that make their way through the soil profile,
but also the things that need to dart in undercover
in the stone habitat areas.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
We've lost our minds as a society, we've lost our minds.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Work on the Wildlife Crossing began on Earth Day twenty
twenty two, in a schedule to be complete next year.
Once complete, it the Wildlife Crossing will be the largest
bridge of its kind in the world.

Speaker 13 (31:52):
My hope is that twenty years from now, where my
son is thinking about what he wants to do with
his life, that wildlife crossings are so ubiq with us
that it seems like such a commonplace thing, in such
a no brainer.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
But yet they're not many. They're not yet.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
There are not many, But yet they're not many. It's true,
It's very true. There's one in California that I know of.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
And again, work crews are hoping to have this project
completely finished by the end of next year.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
All right, well, there you go, the Wildlife Crossing. And
I don't know how they expect the mountain lions to
know which one to use, you know, or how to
use that one. Maybe they're onto something, Maybe they know
where the mountain lions, you know, track every year and
they all stop right there.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
But i've seen some killed on the freeway. It's not
in that area.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Where they get killed on the freeway is in more
down in Tarzana and Woodland Hills, you know, deep down.
But I've seen a couple of times where there's a
target right near DeSoto actually a little bit east of Desto.
I've seen two there in like the last twenty years,

(33:06):
but I've never seen them up that far. And again
right literally a half mile south of where that overpasses,
there's another overpass that's that's very wide, rarely used because
a lot of people don't live out there, and those
mountain lions can use that overpass or they can go
to you know, there's another one at Las Virginis. There's

(33:29):
three in that area. Actually there's four. There's another one
north of there. There's four right in that area that
they could use. And now they got another one. So
mountain Lion's Ahaii. They can you know, buzz across there.
And I don't know how they're going to measure that.
I imagine there'll be cameras there where they'll look at

(33:50):
people or look for these mountain lions. But I guarantee
you also that they're going to do fundraisers, and I'll
bet you dollars to donuts that that bridge is going
to be tented over, a lot of people in folding chairs,
a band that's been washed up, a comedian that's been hired,
and they're going to raise money for more of these bridges,

(34:11):
and the party is going to be on that bridge.
And while that party's going on, those mountain lions will
have to have a cigarette and wait for the rich
people to be done with their tented party so they
can cross the one oh one.

Speaker 14 (34:24):
I keep thinking, if they're on top of the bridge,
they have to be hearing the traffic right underneath them.
Oh yeah, yeah, that doesn't make them a little bit
hesitant to cross over if they this cophony of sound
is right underneath their feet.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
I think it will. I mean, there's no proof that
this thing is going to work.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
And on the west side of that bridge there's a road,
so they're gonna have to put either a tunnel under
that road or a bridge over that road too. I mean,
it's going to go all the way to the ocean,
you know, eventually, But it just seems odd with so
many people have lost their homes, that we're doing construction
on a bridge for two Mountain lions, maybe three, and

(35:05):
we're spending one hundred and twenty eight million dollars on it.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's odd. It's strange.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
I know a lot of people don't admit that. I
know a lot of people get pissed off, but it's strange.
It's really odd. I rely on KFI AM six forty.
