The Powerball jackpot has surged to $1.4 billion, sparking questions about company lotto pools and last-minute ticket grabs. The crew also debated whether Los Angeles feels more like a city of transplants or true locals, with Tim breaking the tension by sharing a funny memory of a third-grade classmate who never wore pants.
Nationwide, electrical rates have been climbing far faster than inflation since 2022, fueled by grid upgrades, wildfire prevention, rising demand from AI data centers, and soaring fuel costs. In California, investor-owned utilities have hit customers particularly hard, while Costco’s newest rules are stirring plenty of backlash.
Finally, just before the Powerball drawing, news broke that Air Canada passengers headed to Toronto had to make an emergency evacuation after a galley fire onboard.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All right, let's take a quick break here early so
I can come back because.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We did an interview with Steven J. Klubec.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He was on today and I interviewed him earlier today.
We're going to replay that and he's got some good
ideas on how to straighten up California. He's running for
governor state California, and we talked earlier.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Drill it into you. One point four billion dollars up
for grabs tonight with the Powerball lottery.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So go get your tickets. Hey, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I came in early and got a chance to talk
to Stephen J. Klubec, who's running for governor of the
state of California. He's got some interesting ideas. Let's listen
in to an interview that I did earlier. I got
up at sparrow fart in the morning. I think I
was in at six am. Interview started at six forty five.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Something like that, something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Maybe was a little later, but I think it was
like six forty five, and she could hear it my voice.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I was I it was early, really early. Let's see
how this sounds. Hey, welcome, It's Conway on Camp. I
am at six forty. Stephen J.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Klubeck is running for governor of the state of California,
and we've been banging on his door trying to get
an interview with him for months.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He's finally come to the Conway Show.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Stephen J.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Klubeck, How you sir?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
How are you, ma'am?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'm doing excellent, buddy. I can't wait till next November.
It's a mere what fourteen months away?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Is that? Right?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yeah, we'll get the primary in June.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, let's begin with public safety. You know there was
another robbery on Labor Day in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You know Woodland Hills, sure.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Right, So the reason people spend four million dollars on
a house is so they're not robbed and their family
can sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
There seems to be a robbery there every night. What
can be done about that?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Enforcing our laws, colecting people that actually know how to
execute that have experience, that are accountable for our money.
We're the customers California. Where's our money? Why are we
getting equal or greater value? We've elected the wrong leaders.
I hope everyone wakes up. I'm ringing the nine to
one one alarm bell right now. We've got serious problems.
We have leaders that have no experience, they're not accountable
(07:18):
to us, they're not enforcing our laws, and California is
not open for business. It's not affordable, livable, nor workable enough. Right,
I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The homeless issue doesn't seem to be going in the
right direction. After forty years of throwing nothing but money.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
At it, Supreme Court says we can clean up our streets.
We have leaders that aren't enforcing the law. Clean up
the streets. Those are our streets, our parks, We pay
taxes for them. We want equal or greater value. But
we're just sitting idle and we're not looking for the receipts.
Where's our money? Nobody sticks broken and we all broken,
and they're all compromised. I mean, you tell me any
of the candidates right now that could fulfill those qualifications.
(07:58):
I could not find one.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, I'm with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So local story in Los Angeles where you know they
have these you know, housing units where you're allowed to
now put a guest house on your property, and there's
very little red tape and a lot of these yeah
ad us, Yeah, the ADUs, the the ad us, and
a lot of people who are apartment owners, you know,
you own eighteen units or twenty four units whatever. They're
(08:22):
taking the parking away from these, uh, these tenants and
turning those parking spots into ad us.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And there's two schools of thought.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
One is a guy paid for parking, you got to
either either reimburse him or find him another place where
you can find a parking spout a lot of time
he's parked, you know, two or three blocks away after
hard day work, hard day's work. Or the second one,
the second school of thought is we need more housing,
so why not turn those little garages into ADUs.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
First school of thought, it's not right. It's a taking.
If a parking spot comes with an apartment, that parking
spot goes with the run of police. This is simple. Yeah,
you don't just take somebody's parking away and give them
less value for what they've paid for for you know
your own benefit. Plenty of other properties that are well
suited for five to six story apartment complexes. And this,
(09:10):
this concept of Wiener's proposal of metro housing with metro
substance ill planned too. You have people in charge in
both statewide and locally. And yes, I'm running against the establishment,
as if you can't tell, because we've had enough. We
do not have experienced leadership, and shame on us.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
How are we going to get the jobs back that
have been eliminated over the last three or four years.
In entertainment, I see a lot of production going to Canada,
a lot of it going to Georgia, a lot of
it going to Europe. How do we keep you know,
LA as the engine that makes California work well.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You talked about two great exports, both entertainment and tourism
and travel, and I'm very familiar with both. We need
to invest in both of those. We don't call it
a tax incentive, it's an investment in because with travel
and tourism we get like thirty five to forty to
one pump in trickle down economics where everyone benefits, and
entertainment we do twenty to one. So those benefit our
(10:09):
entire state. We need to invest in those different sectors
because they're exports. Okay, there's no capex required other than
investment in and we get a massive return in our
GDP growth. These are simple fixes with experienced leadership. We
have to also take a look at what's happened in
our state over the last ten years. We've grown the
(10:30):
state government forty five thousand jobs. What kind of benefits
we've received. We haven't. We've been charged about six billion
dollars more for inefficiency, and that's not value for our
tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
No, it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Twenty or thirty years ago, ninety five percent of people
who live in California had no idea what an NGO was,
non government organization. Now they're all over the place and
they seem to be the core of the problem with
missing money.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Well, and another component part of my due diligence because
I've studied eighteen months. I would not touch anything unless
I studied. And I'm speaking with due diligence specificity here NGOs,
every charity and NGO should have to go through a
state verification process to make sure the money's not being pilfered. Okay,
and if you if you don't meet certain qualifications, you
(11:16):
cannot operate in California. Period.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
That's a great idea, Buddy.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I really enjoy spending time with you, and the more
that I learned about you, and the more the audience does,
the more that we think that you are the guy
to get us back to where we used to be
in the sixties, seventies and eight.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Tim, Tim, I can tell you this, I fixed broken
and I love my state. I'm doing this for my children,
our children that's in the future, because they don't have
they don't have anything to aspire to right now. The
contract's broken and I'm just stating it as it is.
It's nine one one time, folks.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Wake up, buddy. I appreciate it, and we'll catch you again.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Take care, Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, Stephen Jake clueback running for governor of the
state of California. And you know when I was growing
up Krozier, you aren't out here yet, Bellio. You're a transplant. Sarrantino.
Are you a transplant?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Are you born and raised out here? Angel? I think
was born and raised out here.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
We used to run around the.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And you're that used to wear those dresses to work.
That's right, weren't you Uh, your mom and dad made
you wear dresses. Isn't that true all the time? I remember,
I grew up with a girl named Sarah in third grade,
and I recently ran into her at a funeral and
(12:33):
I haven't seen her since fourth grade. But she was
the cutest girl in the world in third and fourth grade,
and everybody was like in love with her and wanted to,
you know, just hang with her. You know, we're in dating.
In third or fourth grade, she was just really a
cute girl, and she always wore dresses. I never saw
her in pants one day in my life, And so
I asked her about that, and you know, now she's
(12:55):
sixty one, and I said, hey, when you were in
third and fourth grade, do it is my memory wright
that you never wore shorts or jeans or pants to
school at all? And she says, God, how'd you remember that?
And I said, ah, I just remember stupid things like that,
and she said yeah. Her parents were very conservative and
she was never ever allowed to wear pants or jeans
(13:19):
up until she left for college.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
About that.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Wow, college, her parents would tell her, no, you're wearing
a dress, you're a lady. You're a young lady. You're
wearing a dress like ladies wear or a skirt. You're
not wearing pants to school. Pants are for men, not you.
And she drilled they drilled that into her head. And
I think, I don't know if she's with that the
same way with her kids now.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't think you can be.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I think it's odd if you tell your you know,
seven or eight year old daughter that she's going to
wear dresses until college, when all her friends are in
you know, cutoffs and jeans. I don't think that works nowadays,
but it did back then, and and and I don't know.
I sort of I like that, you know, I like that,
you know, women and men dressed differently. I don't know
(14:08):
when women started dressing exactly like guys, you know, baggy
pants and baggy you know shirts and stuff like that.
I don't know when that happened. But I know that
Bellio knocks it out with pants. She wore her really
fancy pants to a meeting we had a couple of
years ago. I enjoyed that we had a very important meeting.
(14:30):
It wasn't here with the program director and the president
of the company. That's not true and belly, Oh, it
was an early morning meeting, I think, like at six am.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
That is also not true.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And Bello showed up wearing pants herd sweats.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I believe they were camouflage sweats, but they were.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Nice, and I complimented them. I thought they were like
church pants. You wear pants like that to church, and
it was very nice.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
I've never worn them, true, and I.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Said, oh, I said BELLI, thanks for dressed up. Familiar.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
It was like, thanks for dressing up? Is how you
said it? As I was.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Walking away, and I turned and said, how rude.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
No, you went how rude?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And yeah, I was serious though, I thought, I like
those pants. All right, we're live on KF. I am
six forty. The one point four billion dollar lottery is tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Do not miss this.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You could be one point four billion dollars richer, which
would make a lot of your problems go away instantly.
I mean, you'll have other problems, like everyone that calls you,
you'll think is banging on you for dough like Krozer.
If you won one point four billion dollars tonight and
I called you just out out of blue on a Saturday,
go hey, how's it going you? Would think, oh, this
(15:51):
guy's banging on me for doe. It is, yeah, right, yeah,

would you you wouldn't, I don't know. You know what
this is out to day I test it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):

You'd say that.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, come on down, Yeah, come on down.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I got a pocket you know, I got three security
guards here and a and a arm more full of money.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Come on down to the island I just bought if
you can get on.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, and by the way, I'll have a bb gun
and you'll be dancing while you count the money.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But that'll be fun to that's the cost answer, all right,
real life.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
One point four billion dour billion dollars tonight in the
power Ball lottery, it is Powerball, right, I think you
have Powerball.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
It's power Boff.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Mayo from
KFI AM sixty four.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You have in another twenty two minutes to buy tickets
for tonight's power Ball. They cut that off at seven
o'clock seven pm.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You're done. You knew the rules, you knew the boundaries. Mahaalow.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You're done. You're done, so you got to get it
before seven o'clock. Bad news on the electric bills. I've
noticed this in Burbank. Electricity keeps getting more and more expensive. Sorry,
it's just part of living in California and in some
other states.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We're just paying a lot more for power.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
A lot of Americans are already feeling this. Every time
they open up those bills. It's more expensive, more specifically
point five percent more expensive than it was this time.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
A year ago.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
So if you're talking about a two hundred dollars a
monthly bill, that is now two hundred and eleven dollars,
and of course, compounded over the year, that's over one
hundred and thirty dollars in added costs just because of
this rising cost of electricity. Now, some reasons for that, A,
there's a lot more electricity use because it's been a hotter.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Summer and electric cars.
Speaker 10 (18:02):
Also there's been more use from on the grid from
electric vehicles, right. And then also there are these AI
data centers that have been going up around the country.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It's crazy.
Speaker 10 (18:11):
The estimate of projected use of the electricity grid four percent.
Now from these AI centers, that's projected to go up
to twelve percent.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
You know what I heard.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
For if you were creating a three second video with AI,
it uses as much energy as if you had a
light bulb on all year long.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Lots of energy. And you know what.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I went out looking for a new lawnmower over the
last couple of weeks and I noticed that in California,
you you do not have a choice. There are only
electric mowers. You cannot buy a combustion engine, a two
stroke or one shoke. Yeah, can't buy them. They don't
sell them. Lows doesn't sell them. Home depotos and sell them.
(18:52):
I think you have to buy them online. And I'm
not sure they'd even delivered to you in California.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But you go to Oregon or Washington as as ahoy,
anything you want, go in there. Buy that, pick it up,
and you can go home and mow your own lawn.
But only batteries for everything. Leaf blower. You can't buy
a gas powered leaf blower in any of these box
stores anymore. They're just elector by twenty twenty eight. So
(19:18):
that just means electricity costs could only go electricity yep,
which is going to go up to twelve percent.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And just when the robots take over, they take over yet. Okay,
so let's talk about tips and tricks to cut back.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Like you say, vampire devices, unplug them?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
What's that?
Speaker 10 (19:34):
Yeah, a little scary, right, vampire devices. These are things
that are plugged in and even if you don't have
them turned on, just because they're plugged into your wall,
they could still be using electrics.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Please, it's such a very small minute. Electricity got almighty.
It's like a half cent for a year to keep
something plugged in, and they keep banging on you for that,
all right. Costco members push back on new shopping rules.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Some shoppers are pushing back, saying Costco is favoring it's
premium members and thus leaving the rest of its customers behind.
In the wake of all of this.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, then become a premium member right executive eat cake.
Speaker 11 (20:08):
The changes kicked in yesterday with Costco clothes, though for
Labor Day most customers will notice it starting today. Executive
members who pay one hundred thirty dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Get She's doing this story from a runway at JFK.
Speaker 11 (20:21):
Executive members who pay one hundred thirty dollars a year
get early access now from nine to ten am on
weekdays and Sundays, and from nine to nine thirty am
on Saturdays. Gold Star and Business members who pay sixty
five dollars a year about half of that. Yeah, you
get screwed, maybe turned away at the door if they
show up too early.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It's screwed. Do you show up, don't show up early,
show up at the time. That's always been there. All
of us that pay a little extra in an hour early.
You want to get in hourly, they get a little extra.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
Turned I got turned away the other day, you did, Yeah,
I did for a gold Star membership trying to get
into early.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
You know, only certain memberships could get in at a
certain time. And so I walk in and I scan
my card and I'm flying through.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
And they're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Yeah, yes, outside, you don't have an executive membership, so
we're not open for your membership for another half hour.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
A pig.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Look. I got Jenna and I got talked into doing
the executive membership of a year or two ago. And
it makes total financial sense because when you buy a
certain amount on the executive amount, you get a refund
back at the end of the year once you hit
a certain threshold.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, that's where I go.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
To Costco all the time. So we hit that threshold
like that.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, at the same thing.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
So you pay a little more for the membership, but
you get that money back at the end of the year,
and you get in early.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I didn't know you can get in early. Now I'm
going early just to look at the rugrats that don't
get in.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Inside you can wave.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
At me as I'm running back to my car.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You need anything, angel, I think I'm gonna get this
tattooed to my arm. Costco Wholesale executive member executive. Oh
that's great, black card. Do you feel more important in life?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's great.
Speaker 11 (22:14):
The move also puts Costco in stuff with Sam's Club,
which has offered early access to Premium plus members for
years now. This policy started back in June, but was
not strictly enforced. Even then, it drew backlash from customers,
so Costco now says with this grace period over, the
policy will now be fully in effect and fully enforced.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah. What time did you go? Angel? Why are you
Costco so early? What's going on with you?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Hold on? What's going on with put my headphones? Hold on?
Hold on? Okay, okay? What why are you there so early?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Well?
Speaker 8 (22:44):
I was getting gas because there's a gas station at
my Costco and I always go there really early before
the lines get long. And I noticed that the front
doors of Costco were open. I'm like, oh, I got
to go there anyway while I'm here, and so I
went in. I didn't know they had like different hours
and all this stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Who knew?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I didn't I know?
Speaker 5 (23:05):
And I'm like, come on, just let us slide.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
You know.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
I'm here, I'm busy, I got things to do.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
And I don't have to come back.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
And I get can't they just give me like a
temporary over in the customer service? And They're like absolutely not?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Really, Yeah, oh that's horrible. Did you feel like did
you feel like a second class citizen.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Absolutely I did.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
I was like, I felt shame walking away, like, oh
my gosh, I've been shamed at the Costco entry.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, well, I look, I hate to say it, but
just you know, work harder, you know, do better, and.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
You should apply yourself.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You guys are right, You're right. You really should.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Belly, it is not even a member anymore. I don't think, Belly,
are you a member? Are you met by at Costco?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:58):
No, no, no.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
You don't get in at all. We've covered this once before.
I told you we go to the pharmacy.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
You can use the pharmacy for free. Yeah, you know
another way you can use it for free. Buy a membership,
you buy me one. No, you know there's another way
you can use it for free. If I bought you
a gift card. You can go any time you want.
You don't have to be a member.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
They allow that, Sharon. Now that they've just started a
new rule that people that don't have memberships, if you
go an hour early, they'll let you in.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh really, yeah, that's right. Oh I might try super early.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Oh I might try that tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And if the guy at the door doesn't know the
new rule. Just argue with him because he should know it.
He should know it.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Okay, so I'll just stand my ground.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, or just buzz right by him.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Okay, ignore imagine like I didn't say to that.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
No. I trust you guys, because you guys know Costco.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And know what they love. I'm shopping here. If you
want me out, call the cops.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
You think I should go there?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh yeah, because copsole show up and go oh, she's
so great.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Let her shop and then we'll walk away.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Say hey, I was in that lottery to date you
a few years back.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Remember I could.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Wear Tim's T shirt that he wears all the time.
I'm Tim Conway Junior with KFI and iHeart.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Ding Dog Ding Dog. On the back.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Here it says butt finger. No butter finger says butter finger.
So I don't know whatever.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You have six minutes to buy your lotto ticket for tonight,
your power Ball, and if you're not in it, there's
no way you're going to win. Well there's look, there's
no way you're probably gonna win anyway, but there's definitely
no way you're gonna win unless you have a ticket.
So slide in somewhere and get yourself a ticket. You know,
(25:53):
you could have one point eight or one point four
billion dollars. Billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Take you a long, long way, man, long long way.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
All right, let's talk about I talk about the Oh
here's something interesting. Air Canada passengers evacuate a flight Denver
during Labor Day.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
This is not good. These keep popping up scary moments.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
For the one hundred and twenty two aboard Air Canada
flight ten thirty eight to Toronto Sunday, passengers used emergency
exit slides to evacuate the airbus A two twenty on
the runway after returning to Denver.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I'm going to come to a stop on the run
Please for the staticles to come out to look at it,
the rear galley older rear galley fire or smoke it.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
At this point, the FAA is now investigating a possible
electrical fire on board NOD.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It seems like when I was younger, you know, I
was in my twenties or thirties, you heard of maybe
one incident a year when it infalls, a near collision
or evacuation by the sleds or the slides or whatever.
Now it's every couple of week, two or three a week.
I don't know what's going on all right now, I
have you heard about this wedding crasher? This is all
(27:06):
over the news. Guy went into a wedding in Glendale
and stole the money that people were throwing at this
brand new couple.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I think it's a is it an Armenian thing?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I went to an Armenian wedding A buddy of mine, Mesak,
took Moni and got married, and a lot of people
were throwing money at the new couple. A lot of
money went around, and there's probably at least one hundred
thousand dollars in cash flying around. And that box of
money was stolen by a guy who's crashing the wedding.
Speaker 13 (27:41):
George and Nadine fair Hat were celebrating the best day
of their life. The Orange County couple got married, and
we're partying well into the night at the Renaissance in Glendale.
Little did they know there was an uninvited guest scoping
the place out.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You know, it's hard to identify uninvited guests anymore because
you don't want to embarrass somebody actually yourself by asking somebody, Hey,
who do you know here at the wedding? And that's embarrassing,
you know when they say, oh, I'm my brother's my
best friend is the groom or the bride, And then
you're like, oh, I'm sorry, man, I feel like such
(28:15):
an a ho.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Let me buy you a drink.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
A wedding crash so she can get You can go
to almost any wedding and nobody will ask you if
you belong.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
A wedding crasher.
Speaker 13 (28:22):
That security cameras show ran off with their gift box
full of tens of thousands of dollars in money and gifts.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, between sixty and one hundred thousand dollars worth of cash.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
Bringing the party to a halt.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
As soon as we found out what happened, you know,
the music shut down, Everything immediately stopped. I ended up
sitting on the dance floor sobbing with my friends and
cousins around me.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh, that's horrible to do to this young lady on
her wedding day. That's supposed to be the most special
day in a girl's life, in a young lady's life,
and it was ruined by this a hole.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
The thief was there for at least ninety minutes, showing
up around eleven PM, walking around passing family members of
the bride and groom, going to the bathroom, and at
one point he even orders a drink at the bar.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Very grainy, but I think he even tipped the bartender.
Speaker 14 (29:06):
Watching the dance floor, He's watching our family. It's so
scary to look back and see that there was a stranger, you.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Know, in the future. Here's the way you can avoid
this in the future. In the future, you have fake
one dollar bills or fives or tens or twenties that
you throw at the bride in the groom, and then
you write them a check later, or you buy a
packet of one hundred fake twenty dollars bills and then
(29:33):
you give them the check.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
That check goes into a bank account. They give you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
The fake money looks real, but it's not real, and
then you throw that at the bride in the groom
and it's not monopoly money, but it's not also real,
authentic looking money, and it's just sort of symbolic. And
then if that's stolen, it's not good anywhere, and who cares.
The real money has been put aside in a bank account.
So I think in the future there might be a
business for them. You know, the money that you throw
(29:58):
at a wedding versus real money. Put the real money
in a bank and then throw the fake money. It
still has the effect, you know, but you don't also
have it stolen. But God Almighty, that guy who stole
that money from those two people. There is no shame
in this world anymore, just none.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We're out of shame. It's incredible, all right.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Moe Kelly's coming up next to this whole crew right

What else is out there? Got them all.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Then, and you want to get get a ticket, Slide
off the freeway, find a liquor store and get a ticket.
You could, you could win one point four billion dollars.
Why wouldn't you do that? You're not Your time's not
worth that, you know, don't go crazy and spend you know,
eight hundred dollars that you don't have. But you can
pick up five tickets for ten bucks, and you're in
(01:56):
the game. My uncle used to say that. My uncle's
said that the only people at Dodger Stadium on any
given Sunday that are capable of hitting a home run
and accounting in.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
The box score are the guys with the uniforms on.
Speaker 1 (02:13):

not eligible. There's no way you're gonna win. But if
you do buy a ticket and you do win. What
was that guy's name, Krozer, Edwin The guy won edon Castro.
He just casually walked into like a mobile gas station,
(02:34):
bought a ticket.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
In somebody else's ticket.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, there was room going around that that did happen.
Krozer's right.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
But he won two almost two billion dollars, went out

That can happen to you.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
But you gotta you gotta put you gotta buy a
ticket in order to you know, to win, Bella, would

Expect to hear that again.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
All right, let's take a quick break here early so
I can come back because.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
We did an interview with Steven J. Klubec.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He was on today and I interviewed him earlier today.
We're going to replay that and he's got some good
ideas on how to straighten up California. He's running for
governor state California, and we talked earlier.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Drill it into you. One point four billion dollars up
for grabs tonight with the Powerball lottery.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
So go get your tickets. Hey, I was.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I came in early and got a chance to talk
to Stephen J. Klubec, who's running for governor of the
state of California. He's got some interesting ideas. Let's listen
in to an interview that I did earlier. I got
up at sparrow fart in the morning. I think I
was in at six am. Interview started at six forty five.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Something like that, something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Maybe was a little later, but I think it was
like six forty five, and she could hear it my voice.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I was I it was early, really early. Let's see
how this sounds. Hey, welcome, It's Conway on Camp. I
am at six forty. Stephen J.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Klubeck is running for governor of the state of California,
and we've been banging on his door trying to get
an interview with him for months.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He's finally come to the Conway Show.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Stephen J.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Klubeck, How you sir?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
How are you, ma'am?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I'm doing excellent, buddy. I can't wait till next November.
It's a mere what fourteen months away?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Is that? Right?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yeah, we'll get the primary in June.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, let's begin with public safety. You know there was
another robbery on Labor Day in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You know Woodland Hills, sure.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Right, So the reason people spend four million dollars on
a house is so they're not robbed and their family
can sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
There seems to be a robbery there every night. What
can be done about that?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Enforcing our laws, colecting people that actually know how to
execute that have experience, that are accountable for our money.
We're the customers California. Where's our money? Why are we
getting equal or greater value? We've elected the wrong leaders.
I hope everyone wakes up. I'm ringing the nine to
one one alarm bell right now. We've got serious problems.
We have leaders that have no experience, they're not accountable
(07:18):
to us, they're not enforcing our laws, and California is
not open for business. It's not affordable, livable, nor workable enough. Right,
I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
The homeless issue doesn't seem to be going in the
right direction. After forty years of throwing nothing but money.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
At it, Supreme Court says we can clean up our streets.
We have leaders that aren't enforcing the law. Clean up
the streets. Those are our streets, our parks, We pay
taxes for them. We want equal or greater value. But
we're just sitting idle and we're not looking for the receipts.
Where's our money? Nobody sticks broken and we all broken,
and they're all compromised. I mean, you tell me any
of the candidates right now that could fulfill those qualifications.
(07:58):
I could not find one.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, I'm with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So local story in Los Angeles where you know they
have these you know, housing units where you're allowed to
now put a guest house on your property, and there's
very little red tape and a lot of these yeah
ad us, Yeah, the ADUs, the the ad us, and
a lot of people who are apartment owners, you know,
you own eighteen units or twenty four units whatever. They're
(08:22):
taking the parking away from these, uh, these tenants and
turning those parking spots into ad us.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And there's two schools of thought.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
One is a guy paid for parking, you got to
either either reimburse him or find him another place where
you can find a parking spout a lot of time
he's parked, you know, two or three blocks away after
hard day work, hard day's work. Or the second one,
the second school of thought is we need more housing,
so why not turn those little garages into ADUs.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
First school of thought, it's not right. It's a taking.
If a parking spot comes with an apartment, that parking
spot goes with the run of police. This is simple. Yeah,
you don't just take somebody's parking away and give them
less value for what they've paid for for you know
your own benefit. Plenty of other properties that are well
suited for five to six story apartment complexes. And this,
(09:10):
this concept of Wiener's proposal of metro housing with metro
substance ill planned too. You have people in charge in
both statewide and locally. And yes, I'm running against the establishment,
as if you can't tell, because we've had enough. We
do not have experienced leadership, and shame on us.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
How are we going to get the jobs back that
have been eliminated over the last three or four years.
In entertainment, I see a lot of production going to Canada,
a lot of it going to Georgia, a lot of
it going to Europe. How do we keep you know,
LA as the engine that makes California work well.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
You talked about two great exports, both entertainment and tourism
and travel, and I'm very familiar with both. We need
to invest in both of those. We don't call it
a tax incentive, it's an investment in because with travel
and tourism we get like thirty five to forty to
one pump in trickle down economics where everyone benefits, and
entertainment we do twenty to one. So those benefit our
(10:09):
entire state. We need to invest in those different sectors
because they're exports. Okay, there's no capex required other than
investment in and we get a massive return in our
GDP growth. These are simple fixes with experienced leadership. We
have to also take a look at what's happened in
our state over the last ten years. We've grown the
(10:30):
state government forty five thousand jobs. What kind of benefits
we've received. We haven't. We've been charged about six billion
dollars more for inefficiency, and that's not value for our
tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
No, it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Twenty or thirty years ago, ninety five percent of people
who live in California had no idea what an NGO was,
non government organization. Now they're all over the place and
they seem to be the core of the problem with
missing money.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Well, and another component part of my due diligence because
I've studied eighteen months. I would not touch anything unless
I studied. And I'm speaking with due diligence specificity here NGOs,
every charity and NGO should have to go through a
state verification process to make sure the money's not being pilfered. Okay,
and if you if you don't meet certain qualifications, you
(11:16):
cannot operate in California. Period.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
That's a great idea, Buddy.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I really enjoy spending time with you, and the more
that I learned about you, and the more the audience does,
the more that we think that you are the guy
to get us back to where we used to be
in the sixties, seventies and eight.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Tim, Tim, I can tell you this, I fixed broken
and I love my state. I'm doing this for my children,
our children that's in the future, because they don't have
they don't have anything to aspire to right now. The
contract's broken and I'm just stating it as it is.
It's nine one one time, folks.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Wake up, buddy. I appreciate it, and we'll catch you again.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Take care, Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, Stephen Jake clueback running for governor of the
state of California. And you know when I was growing
up Krozier, you aren't out here yet, Bellio. You're a transplant. Sarrantino.
Are you a transplant?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Are you born and raised out here? Angel? I think
was born and raised out here.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
We used to run around the.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And you're that used to wear those dresses to work.
That's right, weren't you Uh, your mom and dad made
you wear dresses. Isn't that true all the time? I remember,
I grew up with a girl named Sarah in third grade,
and I recently ran into her at a funeral and
(12:33):
I haven't seen her since fourth grade. But she was
the cutest girl in the world in third and fourth grade,
and everybody was like in love with her and wanted to,
you know, just hang with her. You know, we're in dating.
In third or fourth grade, she was just really a
cute girl, and she always wore dresses. I never saw
her in pants one day in my life, And so
I asked her about that, and you know, now she's
(12:55):
sixty one, and I said, hey, when you were in
third and fourth grade, do it is my memory wright
that you never wore shorts or jeans or pants to
school at all? And she says, God, how'd you remember that?
And I said, ah, I just remember stupid things like that,
and she said yeah. Her parents were very conservative and
she was never ever allowed to wear pants or jeans
(13:19):
up until she left for college.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
About that.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Wow, college, her parents would tell her, no, you're wearing
a dress, you're a lady. You're a young lady. You're
wearing a dress like ladies wear or a skirt. You're
not wearing pants to school. Pants are for men, not you.
And she drilled they drilled that into her head. And
I think, I don't know if she's with that the
same way with her kids now.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't think you can be.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I think it's odd if you tell your you know,
seven or eight year old daughter that she's going to
wear dresses until college, when all her friends are in
you know, cutoffs and jeans. I don't think that works nowadays,
but it did back then, and and and I don't know.
I sort of I like that, you know, I like that,
you know, women and men dressed differently. I don't know
(14:08):
when women started dressing exactly like guys, you know, baggy
pants and baggy you know shirts and stuff like that.
I don't know when that happened. But I know that
Bellio knocks it out with pants. She wore her really
fancy pants to a meeting we had a couple of
years ago. I enjoyed that we had a very important meeting.
(14:30):
It wasn't here with the program director and the president
of the company. That's not true and belly, Oh, it
was an early morning meeting, I think, like at six am.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
That is also not true.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And Bello showed up wearing pants herd sweats.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I believe they were camouflage sweats, but they were.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Nice, and I complimented them. I thought they were like
church pants. You wear pants like that to church, and
it was very nice.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
I've never worn them, true, and I.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Said, oh, I said BELLI, thanks for dressed up. Familiar.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
It was like, thanks for dressing up? Is how you
said it? As I was.
Speaker 9 (15:09):
Walking away, and I turned and said, how rude.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
No, you went how rude?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
And yeah, I was serious though, I thought, I like
those pants. All right, we're live on KF. I am
six forty. The one point four billion dollar lottery is tonight.

Yeah, come on down, Yeah, come on down.
Speaker 1 (16:29):

guards here and a and a arm more full of money.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Come on down to the island I just bought if
you can get on.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, and by the way, I'll have a bb gun
and you'll be dancing while you count the money.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But that'll be fun to that's the cost answer, all right,
real life.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
One point four billion dour billion dollars tonight in the
power Ball lottery, it is Powerball, right, I think you
have Powerball.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
It's power Boff.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Mayo from
KFI AM sixty four.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You have in another twenty two minutes to buy tickets
for tonight's power Ball. They cut that off at seven
o'clock seven pm.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
You're done. You knew the rules, you knew the boundaries. Mahaalow.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
You're done. You're done, so you got to get it
before seven o'clock. Bad news on the electric bills. I've
noticed this in Burbank. Electricity keeps getting more and more expensive. Sorry,
it's just part of living in California and in some
other states.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
We're just paying a lot more for power.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
A lot of Americans are already feeling this. Every time
they open up those bills. It's more expensive, more specifically
point five percent more expensive than it was this time.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
A year ago.
Speaker 10 (17:45):
So if you're talking about a two hundred dollars a
monthly bill, that is now two hundred and eleven dollars,
and of course, compounded over the year, that's over one
hundred and thirty dollars in added costs just because of
this rising cost of electricity. Now, some reasons for that, A,
there's a lot more electricity use because it's been a hotter.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Summer and electric cars.
Speaker 10 (18:02):
Also there's been more use from on the grid from
electric vehicles, right. And then also there are these AI
data centers that have been going up around the country.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
It's crazy.
Speaker 10 (18:11):
The estimate of projected use of the electricity grid four percent.
Now from these AI centers, that's projected to go up
to twelve percent.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
You know what I heard.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
For if you were creating a three second video with AI,
it uses as much energy as if you had a
light bulb on all year long.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Lots of energy. And you know what.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I went out looking for a new lawnmower over the
last couple of weeks and I noticed that in California,
you you do not have a choice. There are only
electric mowers. You cannot buy a combustion engine, a two
stroke or one shoke. Yeah, can't buy them. They don't
sell them. Lows doesn't sell them. Home depotos and sell them.
(18:52):
I think you have to buy them online. And I'm
not sure they'd even delivered to you in California.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But you go to Oregon or Washington as as ahoy,
anything you want, go in there. Buy that, pick it up,
and you can go home and mow your own lawn.
But only batteries for everything. Leaf blower. You can't buy
a gas powered leaf blower in any of these box
stores anymore. They're just elector by twenty twenty eight. So
(19:18):
that just means electricity costs could only go electricity yep,
which is going to go up to twelve percent.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And just when the robots take over, they take over yet. Okay,
so let's talk about tips and tricks to cut back.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Like you say, vampire devices, unplug them?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
What's that?
Speaker 10 (19:34):
Yeah, a little scary, right, vampire devices. These are things
that are plugged in and even if you don't have
them turned on, just because they're plugged into your wall,
they could still be using electrics.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Please, it's such a very small minute. Electricity got almighty.
It's like a half cent for a year to keep
something plugged in, and they keep banging on you for that,
all right. Costco members push back on new shopping rules.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Some shoppers are pushing back, saying Costco is favoring it's
premium members and thus leaving the rest of its customers behind.
In the wake of all of this.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Well, then become a premium member right executive eat cake.
Speaker 11 (20:08):
The changes kicked in yesterday with Costco clothes, though for
Labor Day most customers will notice it starting today. Executive
members who pay one hundred thirty dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Get She's doing this story from a runway at JFK.
Speaker 11 (20:21):
Executive members who pay one hundred thirty dollars a year
get early access now from nine to ten am on
weekdays and Sundays, and from nine to nine thirty am
on Saturdays. Gold Star and Business members who pay sixty
five dollars a year about half of that. Yeah, you
get screwed, maybe turned away at the door if they
show up too early.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It's screwed. Do you show up, don't show up early,
show up at the time. That's always been there. All
of us that pay a little extra in an hour early.
You want to get in hourly, they get a little extra.
Speaker 8 (20:53):
Turned I got turned away the other day, you did, Yeah,
I did for a gold Star membership trying to get
into early.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
You know, only certain memberships could get in at a
certain time. And so I walk in and I scan
my card and I'm flying through.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
And they're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Yeah, yes, outside, you don't have an executive membership, so
we're not open for your membership for another half hour.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
A pig.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Look. I got Jenna and I got talked into doing
the executive membership of a year or two ago. And
it makes total financial sense because when you buy a
certain amount on the executive amount, you get a refund
back at the end of the year once you hit
a certain threshold.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yes, that's where I go.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
To Costco all the time. So we hit that threshold
like that.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, at the same thing.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
So you pay a little more for the membership, but
you get that money back at the end of the year,
and you get in early.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I didn't know you can get in early. Now I'm
going early just to look at the rugrats that don't
get in.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Inside you can wave.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
At me as I'm running back to my car.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You need anything, angel, I think I'm gonna get this
tattooed to my arm. Costco Wholesale executive member executive. Oh
that's great, black card. Do you feel more important in life?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's great.
Speaker 11 (22:14):
The move also puts Costco in stuff with Sam's Club,
which has offered early access to Premium plus members for
years now. This policy started back in June, but was
not strictly enforced. Even then, it drew backlash from customers,
so Costco now says with this grace period over, the
policy will now be fully in effect and fully enforced.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Yeah. What time did you go? Angel? Why are you
Costco so early? What's going on with you?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Wait?
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Hold on? What's going on with put my headphones? Hold on?
Hold on? Okay, okay? What why are you there so early?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Well?
Speaker 8 (22:44):
I was getting gas because there's a gas station at
my Costco and I always go there really early before
the lines get long. And I noticed that the front
doors of Costco were open. I'm like, oh, I got
to go there anyway while I'm here, and so I
went in. I didn't know they had like different hours
and all this stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Who knew?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I didn't I know?
Speaker 5 (23:05):
And I'm like, come on, just let us slide.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
You know.
Speaker 8 (23:08):
I'm here, I'm busy, I got things to do.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
And I don't have to come back.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
And I get can't they just give me like a
temporary over in the customer service? And They're like absolutely not?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Really, Yeah, oh that's horrible. Did you feel like did
you feel like a second class citizen.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Absolutely I did.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
I was like, I felt shame walking away, like, oh
my gosh, I've been shamed at the Costco entry.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, well, I look, I hate to say it, but
just you know, work harder, you know, do better, and.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
You should apply yourself.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
You guys are right, You're right. You really should.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Belly, it is not even a member anymore. I don't think, Belly,
are you a member? Are you met by at Costco?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:58):
No, no, no.
Speaker 9 (24:03):
You don't get in at all. We've covered this once before.
I told you we go to the pharmacy.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
You can use the pharmacy for free. Yeah, you know
another way you can use it for free. Buy a membership,
you buy me one. No, you know there's another way
you can use it for free. If I bought you
a gift card. You can go any time you want.
You don't have to be a member.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
They allow that, Sharon. Now that they've just started a
new rule that people that don't have memberships, if you
go an hour early, they'll let you in.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh really, yeah, that's right. Oh I might try super early.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Oh I might try that tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
And if the guy at the door doesn't know the
new rule. Just argue with him because he should know it.
He should know it.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Okay, so I'll just stand my ground.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, or just buzz right by him.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Okay, ignore imagine like I didn't say to that.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
No. I trust you guys, because you guys know Costco.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And know what they love. I'm shopping here. If you
want me out, call the cops.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
You think I should go there?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Oh yeah, because copsole show up and go oh, she's
so great.
Speaker 2 (25:02):

You have six minutes to buy your lotto ticket for tonight,
your power Ball, and if you're not in it, there's
no way you're going to win. Well there's look, there's
no way you're probably gonna win anyway, but there's definitely
no way you're gonna win unless you have a ticket.
So slide in somewhere and get yourself a ticket. You know,

you could have one point eight or one point four
billion dollars. Billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Take you a long, long way, man, long long way.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
All right, let's talk about I talk about the Oh
here's something interesting. Air Canada passengers evacuate a flight Denver
during Labor Day.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
This is not good. These keep popping up scary moments.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
For the one hundred and twenty two aboard Air Canada
flight ten thirty eight to Toronto Sunday, passengers used emergency
exit slides to evacuate the airbus A two twenty on
the runway after returning to Denver.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
I'm going to come to a stop on the run
Please for the staticles to come out to look at it,
the rear galley older rear galley fire or smoke it.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
At this point, the FAA is now investigating a possible
electrical fire on board NOD.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
It seems like when I was younger, you know, I
was in my twenties or thirties, you heard of maybe
one incident a year when it infalls, a near collision
or evacuation by the sleds or the slides or whatever.
Now it's every couple of week, two or three a week.
I don't know what's going on all right now, I
have you heard about this wedding crasher? This is all
(27:06):
over the news. Guy went into a wedding in Glendale
and stole the money that people were throwing at this
brand new couple.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I think it's a is it an Armenian thing?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I went to an Armenian wedding A buddy of mine, Mesak,
took Moni and got married, and a lot of people
were throwing money at the new couple. A lot of
money went around, and there's probably at least one hundred
thousand dollars in cash flying around. And that box of
money was stolen by a guy who's crashing the wedding.
Speaker 13 (27:41):
George and Nadine fair Hat were celebrating the best day
of their life. The Orange County couple got married, and
we're partying well into the night at the Renaissance in Glendale.
Little did they know there was an uninvited guest scoping
the place out.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You know, it's hard to identify uninvited guests anymore because
you don't want to embarrass somebody actually yourself by asking somebody, Hey,
who do you know here at the wedding? And that's embarrassing,
you know when they say, oh, I'm my brother's my
best friend is the groom or the bride, And then
you're like, oh, I'm sorry, man, I feel like such
(28:15):
an a ho.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Let me buy you a drink.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
A wedding crash so she can get You can go
to almost any wedding and nobody will ask you if
you belong.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
A wedding crasher.
Speaker 13 (28:22):
That security cameras show ran off with their gift box
full of tens of thousands of dollars in money and gifts.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, between sixty and one hundred thousand dollars worth of cash.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
Bringing the party to a halt.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
As soon as we found out what happened, you know,
the music shut down, Everything immediately stopped. I ended up
sitting on the dance floor sobbing with my friends and
cousins around me.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh, that's horrible to do to this young lady on
her wedding day. That's supposed to be the most special
day in a girl's life, in a young lady's life,
and it was ruined by this a hole.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
The thief was there for at least ninety minutes, showing
up around eleven PM, walking around passing family members of
the bride and groom, going to the bathroom, and at
one point he even orders a drink at the bar.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Very grainy, but I think he even tipped the bartender.
Speaker 14 (29:06):
Watching the dance floor, He's watching our family. It's so
scary to look back and see that there was a stranger, you.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Know, in the future. Here's the way you can avoid
this in the future. In the future, you have fake
one dollar bills or fives or tens or twenties that
you throw at the bride in the groom, and then
you write them a check later, or you buy a
packet of one hundred fake twenty dollars bills and then
(29:33):
you give them the check.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
That check goes into a bank account. They give you.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
The fake money looks real, but it's not real, and
then you throw that at the bride in the groom
and it's not monopoly money, but it's not also real,
authentic looking money, and it's just sort of symbolic. And
then if that's stolen, it's not good anywhere, and who cares.
The real money has been put aside in a bank account.
So I think in the future there might be a
business for them. You know, the money that you throw
(29:58):
at a wedding versus real money. Put the real money
in a bank and then throw the fake money. It
still has the effect, you know, but you don't also
have it stolen. But God Almighty, that guy who stole
that money from those two people. There is no shame
in this world anymore, just none.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We're out of shame. It's incredible, all right.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Moe Kelly's coming up next to this whole crew right
here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show, on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
