Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the Conway Show. Ding dong, man, oh man. It is
one hundred and eight outside, and all the news stations
they all go to Topanga and Ventura because there's this
big outdoor thermometer and they sit there and they sweat,
(00:23):
and then they go into Mont's and have a drink,
and then they come back and you know, another news hit,
and they'll take a photo of that big thermometer on
Ventura and Topanga because that's where the valley is the hottest.
You know, growing up born and raised in the San
Fernando Valley, that's where the valley always is, notoriously the
hottest woodland hills. And then going north towards Calabasses. You know,
(00:47):
a Thousand Oaks is a steamer as well, so is
a Westlake. But then when you're going north on the
one on one and you get down into Camarillo and Ventura, oh,
it's paradise. It drops twenty or thirty degrees. Some days
it'll be one hundred and ten, one hundred and fifteen
in the valley. You drop down into came rio seventy
(01:07):
five eighty degrees. Those people haven't made out there. All right,
let's get into a Alex stone Is with us.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Alex, Hi, you Bob.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Dumped water on his head? Yeah, during a live shot.
That is going to be.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Wait wait wait, wait wait, we missed the first ten
five seconds of what you said?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What you said?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It has Leo Stalworth dumped water on his head yet
during a live shot?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay, no, not.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Hot enough yet.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I love Leo stallwars. He has a great cadence too.
He's like, oh, we're here in Ventura.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I love the guy. I see him in the parking
lot all the time and he's he's a good guy.
And the other big thermometer is the one Santa Clarido
Solo Dad Canyon. Yeah, now it's a Starbucks, but he
used to be a real estate that everybody's always live
outside that.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I was driving to Las Vegas with a buddy of mine,
Kevin O'Donnell, and we're he was going to drive, you know,
and and he picks me up and I'm like, oh no,
it's in the middle of the summer. He's driving a convertible,
and convertibles can only get down to about eighty five,
you know, max air eighty five in the convertible. So
(02:13):
we're driving to vent we're driving to Vegas and he
stops and we're in Baker, right, we're in Baker and
we're both eating, we're both sweating our asses off, and
he said, God, I wonder how hot it is. And
I literally look up. We're nine feet away from the
world's biggest thermometer.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And he's saying, like, yeah, what are how hot it is?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's right there, it's one hundred and twenty three degrees
one hundred and twenty three des Grease, all right, speaking
of twenty three twenty three and me. That's where you
go and you give your your DNA and then they
tell you what your heritage what is or was And
they're having trouble.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah they are, Yeah, you spit into that tube and
then you get the report. So they filed for bankruptcy today.
The CEO resigned and it was pretty clear a few
months ago when they laid off forty percent of their
staff that they were having problems. But the issue is
that everybody's going to the model of monthly memberships, whether
it be Microsoft Office. We're used as buy software and
(03:10):
you owned it, and now they want you to have
access to it you pay a monthly membership or your
streaming services. They want this constant income, this revenue coming in,
and they couldn't figure out how to do it. Once
you got your genetic results, you went, okay, see I'm
out of here, and they tried to entice you back
in of now you can look at more health kind
of stuff. Yeah, maybe a monthly membership to tell you
(03:31):
if some intro smells like soap to you, you know,
all that kind of stuff based on your DNA, and
it didn't work out, and so they they're bankrupt.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
The AGE here in California because they are a Northern
California company in the Bay Area. Under California law, Rob
Bonte is warning that you have the right to tell
them that you to delete or secure your data and
that they could be on the verge of collapse according
to the AGE, and then you may want to do that.
We talked to Tanya Prince, professor of the University of
(04:02):
Iowa College you Law. She says, yeah, because you don't
know what's going to go on with your data.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
The privacy policy itself says that in the case of
sale or bankruptcy, the consumer data goes with the new company.
And furthermore, the privacy policy says that it can be
changed at any time. And so there's a chance that
consumers are comfortable with how twenty three and me is
currently using their data, but that they might not be
comfortable with how a new company would slightly alter the
(04:30):
privacy policy.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
And so tim that's the thing. You may not know
what the new company is going to come in and do,
or do they liquidate in bankruptcy, and then the different
staff goes elsewhere. Who do they sell the DNA data
to the samples that they've got, And so Bonta is saying,
if you're a twenty three and meter customer, that you
should really seriously think about going into the settings, download
(04:53):
a copy of your twenty three meter board. You paid
for it, you might as well keep it so that
you got a PDF showing all your stuff, everything that
they found on you, and then go into those settings
and tell them to stop sharing your data with third
party companies that when you signed up, they were all
kinds of hey for health research and to look deeper
into your background, you know, click on these and yeah,
(05:16):
will work with other companies, but but we're doing research.
He says, take those away. You don't want to share it,
delete your data, tell them to delete that saliva that
if they kept your sample, which in many cases that
it appears that they did, because you gave them the
okay when you were signing up and clicking a bunch
of stuff to do that, and then delete your account
if you want to do it. And pain is yeah,
(05:40):
but you know if or what is somebody going to
do with in the future. I don't know. But twenty
three meters says, they're not going to share your customer
data with a third party without your consent. But a
lot of people did give the consent when signing up,
maybe not knowing that is, they didn't read it, and
they were clicking through things. And they're going to comply
with all state and federal genetic privacy laws and they're
going to keep the DNA confidentially.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Did you ever do it?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I did do it? Ye did, and through twenty three
and me and my folks did it, and uh yeah,
a lot of family.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I was gonna I was gonna do it, and then
I got a call from my uncle and said, hey,
your wife said you're going to do it twenty three
and me, I'm like, yeah, I haven't heard few men
and why he goes, please don't do this until I die,
And I said what he said, because you know, they
keep the DNA, and I think the FBI can go
through that DNA and get somebody who's close you know,
(06:30):
the you know, the d genetic gdo the genetic close
on genetic readout and then they can start sniffing around
and then bang, my uncle's in prison.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Boom, you got it. At that point, I called my
parents and I went, Okay, you know, before I do this,
you may want to tell me if I'm adopted now
because I or you know, was the pool boy involved
in anything? Because I'm about to find out. What did
you find out? Yeah you didn't do it. No, I
did do it. They said do it. And it's like
(06:59):
seventy odd percent UK and the rest German. Okay, all right,
that's pretty cool and like point zero eight percent Asian?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Is that right? Yeah? Wow?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah it was of Asian heritage point zero eight percent.
But otherwise it was all UK and all German Man.
Oh Man, I could have scored there.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
We were talking about you the other day and I said,
I think he's part Asian, and people like NA, he's
not part Asian.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I could have cleaned up.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I could have cleaned a very little part. Aren't there
some other Chinese I believe? Aren't there some other companies
to do the same thing. Yeah, there are, and we
don't know how they're doing. And in the case twenty
three and me, it looked like they were trying to
go private before today. And who knows how this is
going to come into that, but and what they're going
to be able to do with it. Shares have been
in a free fall with the company. Yeah, twenty three
(07:48):
meter was once one of Oprah's favorite things in like
twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, is that right? Yeah,
And they were rocking the world prime days. It was
the big thing everybody was doing because you could get
a discount on it. And then now once you did
it and people were like good, Yeah, they weren't coming
back for more.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I had a speaking of samples, I had a family
member and I will never say his or her name,
but I had a family member and who I had
to take to Cedars Sinai to get a test done,
and he gets in my car and he has this
brown bag and I said, what's that He goes, oh,
it's a stool sample. And then as we get there,
he says, ah, can you carry this for me? And
(08:26):
I carried the bag. I'm like, this thing's like three pounds.
I think they wanted a sample. I didn't think they want,
you know, the week's work here.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And he says that it is a sample.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's sample enough for the whole family. Talk with you,
all right, Well, that's too bad. You hate to see
a company go out of business. You know, twenty three
and meter a lot of people got a you know
a lot of big connection with their heritage over this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, and it may continue on a lot of companies
doing bankruptcy and they may figure it out. But the
age's saying, look, you don't know what they're gonna do
with your your DNA. They say they're going to secure it,
but you may want to you may want to take
care of it right now while you still have access
into the website.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
How's your bracket anything?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Nothing good? We're doing it here in the bureau. Nothing good.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, it sucks too many eyes, you know, there's too
many now these players are transferring all over the place
and there's no really dominant great teams anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, but as an Auburn family, have everybody in my
family had war Eagle that they're doing pretty well so far.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The Saint John's post game press conference was great. You know, like,
why did you pull that? Why'd you pull that guy
out with five minutes left? And he didn't say it.
He says because he sucks. Well, Bunny, I appreciate you coming.
I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You got it. Text to Alex Stone.
Speaker 1 (09:38):

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, you start, well, how did this whole thing starts.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
Well, being from Philadelphia, I was stationed down to San Diego.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
In the Navy. Down there.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
When I was there, there was no good cheese steak
places out here. So when I got out and moved
back to Philadelphia, I says, you know, I was working
for my uncle's cheese steak shop at the time, so
you know, I need a change. Let me see if
I could bring all this here at the California Wow.
And that's exactly what my wife and I did thirty
three years ago, she said, only five years.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I'm staying your life. The first one was Fountain Valley.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
In Fountain Valley, Yeah, and we ship everything else in Philadelphia.
Still there, and we have you know, our roles come
from Philadelphia, which I know you like.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Lovely rolls everyday, yep, every day.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
We got tasty cakes, We have Pennsylvania Dutch birch, beer, hers,
potato chips. Everything in the steak shop is like a
Philadelphia steak shop.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You know, it's such a great place. I know, Michael,
the guy who owns the Burbank one. I can walk there.
The chicken sandwich is next to none. The bread makes
thank you. And now also they're hot peppers as well.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yes, we also bring them from back East too, you do.
Absolutely everything we sell is from the Philadelphia area.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And then how many you said you have twenty stores.
We have twenty stores. Twenty stores, and I know you
got one in Valencia.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
No, let me see it, Encino, the Melrose, the new
Melrose store one, thank you. We just open up another
one out in Riverside, Inland Empire down to San Clemente.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So we're trying to cover all of southern California.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Now, if somebody like myself or belly O. We're always
looking for a way to make money. If somebody wanted
to open a franchise, they can do that.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
They can do that. They go to eat Phillies beest
dot com. We have a franchise page right there. They
can find out all the information they want, submit a
little inquiry will take care.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Of all the reles. What's the history of the Philly
cheese steak? When did it start?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
It started back in nineteen thirty by the Oliveri family. Okay,
and they're still there today. And why is it different?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I mean, you know a lot of other companies or
a lot of other people have tried to create the
Philly cheese steak. You did it successfully, but there are
a lot of places out there that haven't done it well.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
You know what, We're very stringent on what we use.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
We got to have the top quality ingredients like the
roles coming from the Philadelphia. We have to have a
company that knows how to make Philly cheese steaks. So
we have good proprietary marinate on our steak and our
chicken cheese steaks. So everything is fresh and you got it.
And the way we make it is just like we
do in Philadelphia and with those you know, very strict guidelines,
that's how we keep it, you know, very authentic.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Right now, you have a Phillies fan, you all the
Phillies fan, Eagles fan, sixers, you name it.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
When the Eagles come out here to play the Rams,
huge tailgates parties, same with the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
We just have a ball.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
When the when the Eagles won the Super Bowl, the
place in Burbank was swamped.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I couldn't get in there. Swamped.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
Yeah, and uh, all of our places were like that
because you know what, everyone, majority of people who know
about Philly cheese steaks are authentic ones. Rick, There's only
one place you can go. You have to go to
Philly's best, right And since it was, you know, the
Eagles in the Super Bowl, what better thing is to
have a Philadelphia cheese steak bar.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And I'll tell you that's what they do.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And then you know, and people at Super Bowl parties,
they would order like one hundred sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh yeah, Mike, he had to put all, you know,
put a grill out, so he did. He had to
put a grill and he still couldn't keep up. It
was great. Thank you for coming in. What's the web
a dress again? It's Eat Phillies Best dot Com.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Eat Phillies Best dot Com. I love this sandwich. I
gotta keep Mikey in business because without that place.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't I would die. You know you guys shrivel
up and die well. Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I mean you know, we love serving the people here
in California, especially good authentic food and people like yourself
to great. We can't thank you enough for all your support.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's the best, man. Go get Philly's Best today. National
Cheese Steak Day, National Cheese Steak. You gotta get out
there today and tell them what Conway Saints. I don't
know what they gets you, but tell him anyway. Nice
to see it, Bob.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You got Monks, Michael Monks as well. It's how you, Bob.
I'm well to a Nice to see you it. I
hope you got yourself a Philly's Cheese steak. I had
a bite of one. Yeah, I get a chicken one.
Are you a lactose guy or not?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
No?
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I can drink the milk right out of the other
that's the Kentucky and absolutely that's great. It was raised
on it all right, cal Fire. I saw this map
today on I think it was k t LA. I'm
sure they all have it.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It's the map of the areas of southern California, northern California,
the whole state where you're susceptible to brush fires.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, they got the whole state release.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Now, we were the last ones that they that they
released and that was just today and so we're learning
a lot more about what CalFire has learned about the
danger zone so to speak, where wildfires are potentially more
dangerous compared to other parts of the city of parts
of the region. And it's changed a bit since they
last updated these maps in twenty fifteen, so it's worth
(18:17):
taking a look at. They've got the maps up on
the CalFire website and the county also released a tool
where you can compare by dragging the screen.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
A little bit.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
But it looked like in twenty fifteen and what it
looks like now, And it's a little scary to look
at because if you live obviously we know all too
well now what areas are very, very prone to these
types of destructive wildfires. But it's something you want to
check out if you're thinking about getting a new roof,
if you're thinking about planting certain shrubs, and what type
of actions you might need to take just in case
(18:48):
the next one blows through.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Michael Monks as well. It's from KFI News.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I've noticed I don't do a lot of traveling, but
in the countries that I've been to that are poorer
than the United States, the people who are not so
well off live up in the mountains.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
The poor people live out the mountins. The rich people
live in the flats. It's the exact opposite in the
United States. Yeah, you don't have the history with the
moonshine and all that like we had. That's right on
the eastern side, right. You have to run up the
mountains to escape a little bit. Here it's different. You know,
you want the views and all of that in the
vistas and such. No, but depending on which part of
the region you're in, it could be dangerous.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
One thing that we learned was that the last time
these maps were done, we were warned that the area
around Altadena, for example, was highly flammable, was highly society.
They knew that before they knew that the area around it.
What they did not include in the map was Altadena itself, ah.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Being a danger zone.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
And now we know, obviously very tragically, that that is
an area that could burn very easily.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Right, And I think they they could have gotten a
better handle on it if if there were less homes
up in the mountains, because once a home kept just
on fire, it's going to be on fire for thirty
hours or so and then but if it's brush fire,
they can put that out pretty quickly. And I don't
know what the solution is, but they've they've got to
do something, and they've got to do it pretty quickly,
(20:12):
because if not, we are all where the flat landers,
like myself and you, we're gonna end up paying more
insurance for the people live up in the hills.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That's right, And there were questions raceed. Today.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Ellie County Supervisor Katherine Barker and an Ela County Fire
Deputy chief held a media availability to answer questions from
guys like me about what this all means, and one
of the questions was specifically about insurance. We were told
that these maps are not necessarily used by the insurance
company to determine really, because they have their own formulas,
are welcome, but you have to believe that they're somewhat related,
(20:45):
that they're reaching the same conclusions.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And you're absolutely right.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
The more people that are being you know, trying to
ensure places in dangerous places, guys like you and Burdbank,
guys like me in downtown La, our home insurance rates
are going to have to go up.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Okay, let's talk a little bit about downtown La.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I went to a King's game over the weekend on Sunday,
and I didn't realize that the Dodgers were having an
exhibition game against the Angels the Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So I got on the five free way.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
He was packed, wasn't moving anywhere, so I had to
go back to my limo driving days and get the
back get through to Staples or now Crypto the back way.
So I drove through downtown LA and I haven't been
there for a little while. I can't believe how many
for lease signs there are and how.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Filthy it is.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
It's something that I talk about a lot, is that
I just and you live down there. I live down there,
and you know it's the neighborhood. I chose to live
in Ard, I still want to live in I'm glad
that you're fighting for it. I'm doing my best, you know,
as a journalist, you know, can't really get too involved,
but you want to at least raise the issues and
get some reaction from people. I can't believe that a
city like Los Angeles, we're not just a big city.
(21:55):
This is one of the most important cities in the
world right and Downtown, whether you like it or not,
is the most important part of Los Angeles. That's where
a lot of the businesses are, that's where a lot
of the workers go. Tons and tons of people make
their way down downtown to work every single day. And
the condition that it is in is just so shocking,
and you wonder why nobody says anything about it, Why
(22:19):
it's not a priority for either a council member or
an organization or the mayor or somebody to say this
place is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
And every you know, every block, there's seven, eight, nine
for lease signs. Every store down there is either operating
and making money or the next door.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Is for lease.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
That's what's hardest to accept about it, because there are Obviously,
there are trash can stumped over, trash up and down
the street every morning, the horrible whoever's gone through the
trash and all that. But on the other hand, and
the amenities of living downtown include the walkability, the restaurants,
the stores.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
They're all there, and that's why it's worth fighting for.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Because there is a guy who put his life into
a little cafe. There is somebody who put their life
into a little bouche, and they're down there. But you're
not getting the support from basic city services of sweeping
the sidewalks, of cleaning the streets. It's just so unacceptable
and depressing.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I do like the lawlessness of it, you know, where
people sort of you know, the traffic lights downtown are
a mere suggestion of what you should do.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You are.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Traffic can come to a halt because of a drug
addict who decided to lay down in the middle of
the road.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I didn't see that last night, but I can imagine
it's fairly very frequent.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
It's shocking.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
It's made me say things out loud that I didn't
know we're capable of coming out of my mouth the
way that I forget my humanity sometime. But you honestly,
you think about it likes I just you know.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Are you thinking moving? Well?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
You know, I have dreams of making Hancock Park money
at some point. Yeah, I'd like to be in Hancock Park.
It's also not really in a dangerous fire zone. I
like historic homes, right, you know. So if I decide
that downtown is ultimately not going to work, especially if
I become a family man at some point, I'm getting
a little old for that.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But but you know, I saw the you know, right
across from Crypto is the graffiti building.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, with the towers. They were supposed to be cleaned
up last year. How they look.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They look horrible. There's a graffiti ever. You could pay
one hundred guys and I'll volunteer. You go up the
you know the stairs with paint remover and you can
do you know, twenty floors a day. You can have
it done in a week. In a way, it's become
a landmark itself. It's a tourist attraction.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
You want to make sure that you see these unsightly
towers that have been covered by these graffiti artists.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's shocking.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
I see it every Sunday on my walk to Rouse
to do my grocery hall, and I just shake my
head because it's also a microcosm of la one. It
represents the lawlessness that you reference, that people could get
in and do something as elaborate as graffiti an entire
skyscraper from top to bottom, not just hathazardly, but with
artistic ability. That's how long that they were in there
(25:06):
doing this. But secondly, the fact that it's still standing
like that a year later, years a year later, and
that there has been no progress on removing that graffiti
or getting anybody else in there to develop the thing.
You try to do that in New York City and
NYPD would string you up by your balls before you
were out with out of one canapaign. I keep asking you,
maybe you've got a good answer. You were here for
(25:28):
nineteen eighty four when the Olympics came to town. What
are we going to do to present ourselves to the world.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well, you know, my mother used to say, when we
go to see the world, the world sees us. And
there's sort of that going on here. The world's coming
to see us, and we're not ready for it.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Not ready.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Not. What I keep saying is we're not ready to
be ready we have not done the initials. And now
obviously with city Hall going through afflirtations with bankruptcy basics.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You know, I am not kidding you. I seriously thinking.
I had this conversation over the weekend. I think the
Olympic Committee might take the Olympics away from Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
The LA twenty eight guys were in Greece last week
talking to the International Olympic Committee. Now that's true for
all of the different cities that are hosting various Olympic
things coming up in the years to come, but LA
twenty eight was there.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I watched this meeting.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
I reported on it last week, and basically those guys said, no, no,
we're we're gonna have it all in control.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Just like we said, traffic is going to be good.
We're gonna be ready.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
There might be problems with visas or anything, despite you know,
some rhetoric from the Trump administration, Everything's going to be good.
We can't wait to welcome you to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
All right, Well, look, I'm i'd be the first guy
to volunteer to help clean this city up, but nobody's
contacted me.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I'll call you, okay, Yeah, my street is Dirk.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
If if anybody wants me to volunteer and help clean
the city up before the Olympics, I'm in. I got
my gloves, I got my my protective goggles, I got
you know, I got my bags.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I can help clean this city. But where's the call
for that?
Speaker 8 (26:52):
That's what I mean, Like, where is the call to say,
why don't we organize? It's gonna take a village, right,
it's gonna take this big village. Nobody's go together, and
no one has done it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Nobody.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
I will help also, all right, four an hours a right,
we'll do that together.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Michael Monks, thank you, you got it.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Hey if you were, if you showed up for the
San Juan Copastrana parade, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Nice to us see everybody out there.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Probably couple hundred thousand people out there for the San
Juan Capistrana parade.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I got there a little late. They want me there
at nine thirty.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I got their run ten, ten fifteen, and so all
the streets in San Juan Capistrano were closed and I
had to park on the east side of the five Freeway.
Which is the better way to go because then you
can get out of there when the parade's over. If
you're stuck inside the city, they don't open it up
till about three o'clock and you're there till three.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So I was able to get out of there.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I parked about a mile and a half from the event,
And that's the move if you're in San Juan Capistrano.
Park across the freeway, in the mall, in the in
the neighborhood there, and then walk across the bridge so
you can get out of there after the parade.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But man, everybody was so cool to me.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Jim Taylor and his whole crew and his family, and
Lori Davies was down there. She's a i think a senator,
a state senator for California. But it was just a
great place to hang and a great place to raise kids.
If you're young and you're thinking about having kids, you
(28:26):
want to try to get into a neighborhood that's safe,
public schools are good, fire department comes out, police department
comes out. Those are the four things you need when
raising a family. Good schools, public schools, good fire department,
good police department, and safe. If you have four of
(28:50):
those things. Ninety five percent of your life is good
at home.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
If you don't have those.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Things, then you got to are thinking about cities that
do have those things. Like let's take Burbank, California, for instance.
Cops are great, firemen are great, schools are great, and
it's safe. So I love Burbank. But San Juan Capistranta
is the same way. If I had to do it
all over again, I may think about raising my daughter
(29:23):
in San Juan Capistrana.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oh my god, it's the old mission is there. It
still looks great even though it's two hundred and fifty
years old. They knew how to build buildings back then.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Bellion, I'm telling you, and you brought the sunshine this year.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That's right. Well I brought the rain last year too.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Kind of fun ding dong with me.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
So I get into this white originally was gonna get
on the Budweiser float. And because they didn't know if
the white like Princess carriage was going to show up
or not, because it was coming from Riverside and there
were fifty to fifty on whether they're going to get
out there in time. But it did get there in time.
And so I'm on a white horse drawn carriage and
(30:07):
the two ladies, the Vicky and I remember heard the
other one woman's name. They were very nice and and
and so for the you know, a mile and a
half or two miles that is the parade route, I am.
You know, they're twenty people deep on both sides at
some point, and people yell out ding Dong the entire time,
(30:28):
and and one of the ladies, who was in charge
of the horse drawn card saying, what is that?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
What does that mean? Ding Dong?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
I said, well, it's a long story, but it has
to do with a woman getting killed in San Diego.
And she's like, oh my god, what a down a
downer this guy is.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And people are screaming yeah yeah ding Dong, like, oh
is that guy a murdering?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
No, no, no, no, it has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Nah, Come on, man, And then she did say she
was I noticed that all the guys yelling ding Dong
to you all look to say. They're all white guys
in their fifties with beards, slightly overweight and drinking.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I said that that's my crew. That's my crew. And
I enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
But a lot of women down there as well, yelling
out dig dog. So I must have heard it, I
don't know, a couple hundred times during the parade route.
And then everyone who didn't say ding dong, I could
hear them whispering pretty loudly.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Who is said? What does he do? What is DFI?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
No? Really?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Oh yeah, what's that all about? You? I get? But
the KFI I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, people are like they didn't know, you know, because
they're in Orange County, where you don't have to listen
to the radio on how horrible your town is, because
it's not horrible. You know, people in LA like to
listen to KFI because they like to beat up on
how horrible LA is. Like we had monks in here
beating up on La, cause it is. It's a crappy city,
poorly run, that's the bottom line. And so if you're
(31:59):
outside of LA, you don't have to listen to that.
You know, you can listen to music or local radio,
or or just listen to what, you know, people enjoying themselves.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
But man, if you live in La, you you love KFI.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
You get to jump on every day this f the
trash f the water, a f the fires. Crazy here,
especially with John colebalt Man. That guy's great, So I
did they We had the parade, then went to Santa Anita.
Lost the couple of bucks out at Santa Aneda. That
was pretty pretty bummed out there. And then yesterday I
(32:34):
was invited to a Kings game. There's a there's a
guy named Keith who donated four seats and two hundred
dollars to the winner whoever wanted to bid for a
Kings game with me, which I thought was odd. And
and Jeff and Deiana from Thousand Oaks, they they paid
(32:56):
for the package.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
They took a limousine down there. This was all part
of the pastathon.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That's right, yes club. They donated a lot of money
to the Ponstaton. And then we sat there with each other,
the four of us, watching the game, and man, these
are beautiful people. You know, it's always a crap shoot
when you meet somebody new and you go to a
King game. You don't know what they're like, and you
don't know, well if you'll click with them. But that
Jeff and Deanna and Keith, those are the three perfect
(33:22):
people to go to a King's game.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
With.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
They enjoyed it, they behaved, they were enthusiastic, they had
funny lines.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It was like I had three old friends sitting with me.
That's nice. It was beautiful, man.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I'd go to a King game with those three people
over most of my childhood friends.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Ouch, that's true, most of them, because they also knew
the game.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
They're from Minnesota, you know, or back east, and they
knew hockey, and they grew up playing hockey. And and
and Jeff had loosely involved in building the Reagan Museum
belly or if you know that, do that and so.
But I didn't get a lot of details. I don't
I don't ask questions like that. I don't interrogate people
(34:08):
like you do when you're watching.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
The inactive and showing interest. I don't think it's an interigator.
I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I don't try to put a spotlight on the guy
and go, okay, tell me again.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
How you built this thing. And it's interesting though.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, it was great. And he is h and his
lovely wife, Deanna, she was great. And she had put
up with three idiots, you know, for the whole three hours,
and she never complained once. Jeff never complained. Keith never complained,
They laughed, they had great jokes, they had great lines,
and I had a great time. I would go with
(34:40):
those three to a King game every night if I
could every night. I'm telling you, Bellio, you missed out.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I was.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I was thrilled, you know, like I really you know,
I got friends, old friends and stuff. So I'm not
really you know, I'm not I'm not expanding my friends, but.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I would add them in a heartbeat, in an arplement.
That's like a huge compliment from you.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And I invited all three of them to come into
the station and take a look around if they want
to bring friends and family. But those are three I
met three great people last night, three great people, and it.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Was all based on a great cause.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, one from your Belinda, Keys from YOURBA Linda and
Jeff and Deanna from one thousand Oaks. Three great people
in that in that arena last night. I will always
remember that Belly and the Kings won seven to two.
So it was a perfect It was the best. You
couldn't have asked for a better night. When I left there,
I felt like I was ten feet tall. I just
(35:38):
had a great experience with listeners and got to you know,
share some stories and heard their stories. It was just
a cool night, so I'm glad to do it all right.
Relyve on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the Conway Show. Ding dong, man, oh man. It is
one hundred and eight outside, and all the news stations
they all go to Topanga and Ventura because there's this
big outdoor thermometer and they sit there and they sweat,
(00:23):
and then they go into Mont's and have a drink,
and then they come back and you know, another news hit,
and they'll take a photo of that big thermometer on
Ventura and Topanga because that's where the valley is the hottest.
You know, growing up born and raised in the San
Fernando Valley, that's where the valley always is, notoriously the
hottest woodland hills. And then going north towards Calabasses. You know,
(00:47):
a Thousand Oaks is a steamer as well, so is
a Westlake. But then when you're going north on the
one on one and you get down into Camarillo and Ventura, oh,
it's paradise. It drops twenty or thirty degrees. Some days
it'll be one hundred and ten, one hundred and fifteen
in the valley. You drop down into came rio seventy
(01:07):
five eighty degrees. Those people haven't made out there. All right,
let's get into a Alex stone Is with us.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Alex, Hi, you Bob.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Dumped water on his head? Yeah, during a live shot.
That is going to be.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Wait wait wait, wait wait, we missed the first ten
five seconds of what you said?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What you said?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It has Leo Stalworth dumped water on his head yet
during a live shot?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay, no, not.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Hot enough yet.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I love Leo stallwars. He has a great cadence too.
He's like, oh, we're here in Ventura.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I love the guy. I see him in the parking
lot all the time and he's he's a good guy.
And the other big thermometer is the one Santa Clarido
Solo Dad Canyon. Yeah, now it's a Starbucks, but he
used to be a real estate that everybody's always live
outside that.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I was driving to Las Vegas with a buddy of mine,
Kevin O'Donnell, and we're he was going to drive, you know,
and and he picks me up and I'm like, oh no,
it's in the middle of the summer. He's driving a convertible,
and convertibles can only get down to about eighty five,
you know, max air eighty five in the convertible. So
(02:13):
we're driving to vent we're driving to Vegas and he
stops and we're in Baker, right, we're in Baker and
we're both eating, we're both sweating our asses off, and
he said, God, I wonder how hot it is. And
I literally look up. We're nine feet away from the
world's biggest thermometer.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And he's saying, like, yeah, what are how hot it is?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's right there, it's one hundred and twenty three degrees
one hundred and twenty three des Grease, all right, speaking
of twenty three twenty three and me. That's where you
go and you give your your DNA and then they
tell you what your heritage what is or was And
they're having trouble.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah they are, Yeah, you spit into that tube and
then you get the report. So they filed for bankruptcy today.
The CEO resigned and it was pretty clear a few
months ago when they laid off forty percent of their
staff that they were having problems. But the issue is
that everybody's going to the model of monthly memberships, whether
it be Microsoft Office. We're used as buy software and
(03:10):
you owned it, and now they want you to have
access to it you pay a monthly membership or your
streaming services. They want this constant income, this revenue coming in,
and they couldn't figure out how to do it. Once
you got your genetic results, you went, okay, see I'm
out of here, and they tried to entice you back
in of now you can look at more health kind
of stuff. Yeah, maybe a monthly membership to tell you
(03:31):
if some intro smells like soap to you, you know,
all that kind of stuff based on your DNA, and
it didn't work out, and so they they're bankrupt.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
The AGE here in California because they are a Northern
California company in the Bay Area. Under California law, Rob
Bonte is warning that you have the right to tell
them that you to delete or secure your data and
that they could be on the verge of collapse according
to the AGE, and then you may want to do that.
We talked to Tanya Prince, professor of the University of
(04:02):
Iowa College you Law. She says, yeah, because you don't
know what's going to go on with your data.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Now.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
The privacy policy itself says that in the case of
sale or bankruptcy, the consumer data goes with the new company.
And furthermore, the privacy policy says that it can be
changed at any time. And so there's a chance that
consumers are comfortable with how twenty three and me is
currently using their data, but that they might not be
comfortable with how a new company would slightly alter the
(04:30):
privacy policy.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
And so tim that's the thing. You may not know
what the new company is going to come in and do,
or do they liquidate in bankruptcy, and then the different
staff goes elsewhere. Who do they sell the DNA data
to the samples that they've got, And so Bonta is saying,
if you're a twenty three and meter customer, that you
should really seriously think about going into the settings, download
(04:53):
a copy of your twenty three meter board. You paid
for it, you might as well keep it so that
you got a PDF showing all your stuff, everything that
they found on you, and then go into those settings
and tell them to stop sharing your data with third
party companies that when you signed up, they were all
kinds of hey for health research and to look deeper
into your background, you know, click on these and yeah,
(05:16):
will work with other companies, but but we're doing research.
He says, take those away. You don't want to share it,
delete your data, tell them to delete that saliva that
if they kept your sample, which in many cases that
it appears that they did, because you gave them the
okay when you were signing up and clicking a bunch
of stuff to do that, and then delete your account
if you want to do it. And pain is yeah,
(05:40):
but you know if or what is somebody going to
do with in the future. I don't know. But twenty
three meters says, they're not going to share your customer
data with a third party without your consent. But a
lot of people did give the consent when signing up,
maybe not knowing that is, they didn't read it, and
they were clicking through things. And they're going to comply
with all state and federal genetic privacy laws and they're
going to keep the DNA confidentially.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Did you ever do it?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I did do it? Ye did, and through twenty three
and me and my folks did it, and uh yeah,
a lot of family.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I was gonna I was gonna do it, and then
I got a call from my uncle and said, hey,
your wife said you're going to do it twenty three
and me, I'm like, yeah, I haven't heard few men
and why he goes, please don't do this until I die,
And I said what he said, because you know, they
keep the DNA, and I think the FBI can go
through that DNA and get somebody who's close you know,
(06:30):
the you know, the d genetic gdo the genetic close
on genetic readout and then they can start sniffing around
and then bang, my uncle's in prison.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Boom, you got it. At that point, I called my
parents and I went, Okay, you know, before I do this,
you may want to tell me if I'm adopted now
because I or you know, was the pool boy involved
in anything? Because I'm about to find out. What did
you find out? Yeah you didn't do it. No, I
did do it. They said do it. And it's like
(06:59):
seventy odd percent UK and the rest German. Okay, all right,
that's pretty cool and like point zero eight percent Asian?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Is that right? Yeah? Wow?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah it was of Asian heritage point zero eight percent.
But otherwise it was all UK and all German Man.
Oh Man, I could have scored there.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
We were talking about you the other day and I said,
I think he's part Asian, and people like NA, he's
not part Asian.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I could have cleaned up.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I could have cleaned a very little part. Aren't there
some other Chinese I believe? Aren't there some other companies
to do the same thing. Yeah, there are, and we
don't know how they're doing. And in the case twenty
three and me, it looked like they were trying to
go private before today. And who knows how this is
going to come into that, but and what they're going
to be able to do with it. Shares have been
in a free fall with the company. Yeah, twenty three
(07:48):
meter was once one of Oprah's favorite things in like
twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, is that right? Yeah,
And they were rocking the world prime days. It was
the big thing everybody was doing because you could get
a discount on it. And then now once you did
it and people were like good, Yeah, they weren't coming
back for more.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I had a speaking of samples, I had a family
member and I will never say his or her name,
but I had a family member and who I had
to take to Cedars Sinai to get a test done,
and he gets in my car and he has this
brown bag and I said, what's that He goes, oh,
it's a stool sample. And then as we get there,
he says, ah, can you carry this for me? And
(08:26):
I carried the bag. I'm like, this thing's like three pounds.
I think they wanted a sample. I didn't think they want,
you know, the week's work here.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And he says that it is a sample.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's sample enough for the whole family. Talk with you,
all right, Well, that's too bad. You hate to see
a company go out of business. You know, twenty three
and meter a lot of people got a you know
a lot of big connection with their heritage over this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, and it may continue on a lot of companies
doing bankruptcy and they may figure it out. But the
age's saying, look, you don't know what they're gonna do
with your your DNA. They say they're going to secure it,
but you may want to you may want to take
care of it right now while you still have access
into the website.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
How's your bracket anything?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Nothing good? We're doing it here in the bureau. Nothing good.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, it sucks too many eyes, you know, there's too
many now these players are transferring all over the place
and there's no really dominant great teams anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, but as an Auburn family, have everybody in my
family had war Eagle that they're doing pretty well so far.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The Saint John's post game press conference was great. You know, like,
why did you pull that? Why'd you pull that guy
out with five minutes left? And he didn't say it.
He says because he sucks. Well, Bunny, I appreciate you coming.
I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You got it. Text to Alex Stone.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Everybody, yes, part Asian Alex Stone, very small part. He's UK,
mostly British, little German and a little bit of Asian.
I think it was Chinese that he said, do you.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Ever do that?
Speaker 2 (09:51):

but I already knew that because my dad is.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh wow, okay, we have something in common. That's great.
What else, what's the other heritage?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
So my dad is Portuguese and Chinese, so I had
what is classified as Iberian on my twenty three and me,
which is like that Spanish region. And then my mom
is Scandinavian, so a lot of Scandinavian.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Wow, that's a great combination. Yes, yeah, tanking to all

Speaker 1 (12:21):
We'll talk about had pretty busy weekend with I went
to a Kings game over the weekend. I went to
the parade, the San Juan Parade, so recap all those.
I had a really great weekend. And then I noticed
I woke up this morning and I got alert on
my phone. Every year when it's National Philly Cheese Steak
(12:43):
or a National Cheese Steak Day, I get a text
on my phone and today was no different. I woke
up this morning to an alarm and my wife's like,

Phillies Cheese Steak Day and she goes, yeah, can you

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, you start, well, how did this whole thing starts.
It's my favorite sandwich place, Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Well, being from Philadelphia, I was stationed down to San Diego.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
In the Navy. Down there.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
When I was there, there was no good cheese steak
places out here. So when I got out and moved
back to Philadelphia, I says, you know, I was working
for my uncle's cheese steak shop at the time, so
you know, I need a change. Let me see if
I could bring all this here at the California Wow.
And that's exactly what my wife and I did thirty
three years ago, she said, only five years.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I'm staying your life. The first one was Fountain Valley.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
In Fountain Valley, Yeah, and we ship everything else in Philadelphia.
Still there, and we have you know, our roles come
from Philadelphia, which I know you like.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Lovely rolls everyday, yep, every day.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
We got tasty cakes, We have Pennsylvania Dutch birch, beer, hers,
potato chips. Everything in the steak shop is like a
Philadelphia steak shop.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
You know, it's such a great place. I know, Michael,
the guy who owns the Burbank one. I can walk there.
The chicken sandwich is next to none. The bread makes
thank you. And now also they're hot peppers as well.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yes, we also bring them from back East too, you do.
Absolutely everything we sell is from the Philadelphia area.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And then how many you said you have twenty stores.
We have twenty stores. Twenty stores, and I know you
got one in Valencia.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
No, let me see it, Encino, the Melrose, the new
Melrose store one, thank you. We just open up another
one out in Riverside, Inland Empire down to San Clemente.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So we're trying to cover all of southern California.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Now, if somebody like myself or belly O. We're always
looking for a way to make money. If somebody wanted
to open a franchise, they can do that.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
They can do that. They go to eat Phillies beest
dot com. We have a franchise page right there. They
can find out all the information they want, submit a
little inquiry will take care.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Of all the reles. What's the history of the Philly
cheese steak? When did it start?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
It started back in nineteen thirty by the Oliveri family. Okay,
and they're still there today. And why is it different?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I mean, you know a lot of other companies or
a lot of other people have tried to create the
Philly cheese steak. You did it successfully, but there are
a lot of places out there that haven't done it well.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
You know what, We're very stringent on what we use.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
We got to have the top quality ingredients like the
roles coming from the Philadelphia. We have to have a
company that knows how to make Philly cheese steaks. So
we have good proprietary marinate on our steak and our
chicken cheese steaks. So everything is fresh and you got it.
And the way we make it is just like we
do in Philadelphia and with those you know, very strict guidelines,
that's how we keep it, you know, very authentic.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Right now, you have a Phillies fan, you all the
Phillies fan, Eagles fan, sixers, you name it.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
When the Eagles come out here to play the Rams,
huge tailgates parties, same with the Phillies.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
We just have a ball.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
When the when the Eagles won the Super Bowl, the
place in Burbank was swamped.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I couldn't get in there. Swamped.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
Yeah, and uh, all of our places were like that
because you know what, everyone, majority of people who know
about Philly cheese steaks are authentic ones. Rick, There's only
one place you can go. You have to go to
Philly's best, right And since it was, you know, the
Eagles in the Super Bowl, what better thing is to
have a Philadelphia cheese steak bar.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And I'll tell you that's what they do.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And then you know, and people at Super Bowl parties,
they would order like one hundred sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh yeah, Mike, he had to put all, you know,
put a grill out, so he did. He had to
put a grill and he still couldn't keep up. It
was great. Thank you for coming in. What's the web
a dress again? It's Eat Phillies Best dot Com.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Eat Phillies Best dot Com. I love this sandwich. I
gotta keep Mikey in business because without that place.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I don't I would die. You know you guys shrivel
up and die well. Thank you so much.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
I mean you know, we love serving the people here
in California, especially good authentic food and people like yourself
to great. We can't thank you enough for all your support.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It's the best, man. Go get Philly's Best today. National
Cheese Steak Day, National Cheese Steak. You gotta get out
there today and tell them what Conway Saints. I don't
know what they gets you, but tell him anyway. Nice
to see it, Bob.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You got Monks, Michael Monks as well. It's how you, Bob.
I'm well to a Nice to see you it. I
hope you got yourself a Philly's Cheese steak. I had
a bite of one. Yeah, I get a chicken one.
Are you a lactose guy or not?
Speaker 5 (17:34):
No?
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I can drink the milk right out of the other
that's the Kentucky and absolutely that's great. It was raised
on it all right, cal Fire. I saw this map
today on I think it was k t LA. I'm
sure they all have it.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It's the map of the areas of southern California, northern California,
the whole state where you're susceptible to brush fires.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, they got the whole state release.
Speaker 8 (17:55):
Now, we were the last ones that they that they
released and that was just today and so we're learning
a lot more about what CalFire has learned about the
danger zone so to speak, where wildfires are potentially more
dangerous compared to other parts of the city of parts
of the region. And it's changed a bit since they
last updated these maps in twenty fifteen, so it's worth
(18:17):
taking a look at. They've got the maps up on
the CalFire website and the county also released a tool
where you can compare by dragging the screen.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
A little bit.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
But it looked like in twenty fifteen and what it
looks like now, And it's a little scary to look
at because if you live obviously we know all too
well now what areas are very, very prone to these
types of destructive wildfires. But it's something you want to
check out if you're thinking about getting a new roof,
if you're thinking about planting certain shrubs, and what type
of actions you might need to take just in case
(18:48):
the next one blows through.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Michael Monks as well. It's from KFI News.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I've noticed I don't do a lot of traveling, but
in the countries that I've been to that are poorer
than the United States, the people who are not so
well off live up in the mountains.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
The poor people live out the mountins. The rich people
live in the flats. It's the exact opposite in the
United States. Yeah, you don't have the history with the
moonshine and all that like we had. That's right on
the eastern side, right. You have to run up the
mountains to escape a little bit. Here it's different. You know,
you want the views and all of that in the
vistas and such. No, but depending on which part of
the region you're in, it could be dangerous.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 8 (19:26):
One thing that we learned was that the last time
these maps were done, we were warned that the area
around Altadena, for example, was highly flammable, was highly society.
They knew that before they knew that the area around it.
What they did not include in the map was Altadena itself, ah.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Being a danger zone.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
And now we know, obviously very tragically, that that is
an area that could burn very easily.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Right, And I think they they could have gotten a
better handle on it if if there were less homes
up in the mountains, because once a home kept just
on fire, it's going to be on fire for thirty
hours or so and then but if it's brush fire,
they can put that out pretty quickly. And I don't
know what the solution is, but they've they've got to
do something, and they've got to do it pretty quickly,
(20:12):
because if not, we are all where the flat landers,
like myself and you, we're gonna end up paying more
insurance for the people live up in the hills.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That's right, And there were questions raceed. Today.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Ellie County Supervisor Katherine Barker and an Ela County Fire
Deputy chief held a media availability to answer questions from
guys like me about what this all means, and one
of the questions was specifically about insurance. We were told
that these maps are not necessarily used by the insurance
company to determine really, because they have their own formulas,
are welcome, but you have to believe that they're somewhat related,
(20:45):
that they're reaching the same conclusions.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And you're absolutely right.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
The more people that are being you know, trying to
ensure places in dangerous places, guys like you and Burdbank,
guys like me in downtown La, our home insurance rates
are going to have to go up.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Okay, let's talk a little bit about downtown La.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I went to a King's game over the weekend on Sunday,
and I didn't realize that the Dodgers were having an
exhibition game against the Angels the Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So I got on the five free way.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
He was packed, wasn't moving anywhere, so I had to
go back to my limo driving days and get the
back get through to Staples or now Crypto the back way.
So I drove through downtown LA and I haven't been
there for a little while. I can't believe how many
for lease signs there are and how.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Filthy it is.
Speaker 8 (21:33):
It's something that I talk about a lot, is that
I just and you live down there. I live down there,
and you know it's the neighborhood. I chose to live
in Ard, I still want to live in I'm glad
that you're fighting for it. I'm doing my best, you know,
as a journalist, you know, can't really get too involved,
but you want to at least raise the issues and
get some reaction from people. I can't believe that a
city like Los Angeles, we're not just a big city.
(21:55):
This is one of the most important cities in the
world right and Downtown, whether you like it or not,
is the most important part of Los Angeles. That's where
a lot of the businesses are, that's where a lot
of the workers go. Tons and tons of people make
their way down downtown to work every single day. And
the condition that it is in is just so shocking,
and you wonder why nobody says anything about it, Why
(22:19):
it's not a priority for either a council member or
an organization or the mayor or somebody to say this
place is disgusting.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
And every you know, every block, there's seven, eight, nine
for lease signs. Every store down there is either operating
and making money or the next door.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Is for lease.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
That's what's hardest to accept about it, because there are Obviously,
there are trash can stumped over, trash up and down
the street every morning, the horrible whoever's gone through the
trash and all that. But on the other hand, and
the amenities of living downtown include the walkability, the restaurants,
the stores.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
They're all there, and that's why it's worth fighting for.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
Because there is a guy who put his life into
a little cafe. There is somebody who put their life
into a little bouche, and they're down there. But you're
not getting the support from basic city services of sweeping
the sidewalks, of cleaning the streets. It's just so unacceptable
and depressing.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I do like the lawlessness of it, you know, where
people sort of you know, the traffic lights downtown are
a mere suggestion of what you should do.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You are.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Traffic can come to a halt because of a drug
addict who decided to lay down in the middle of
the road.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I didn't see that last night, but I can imagine
it's fairly very frequent.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
It's shocking.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
It's made me say things out loud that I didn't
know we're capable of coming out of my mouth the
way that I forget my humanity sometime. But you honestly,
you think about it likes I just you know.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Are you thinking moving? Well?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
You know, I have dreams of making Hancock Park money
at some point. Yeah, I'd like to be in Hancock Park.
It's also not really in a dangerous fire zone. I
like historic homes, right, you know. So if I decide
that downtown is ultimately not going to work, especially if
I become a family man at some point, I'm getting
a little old for that.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
But but you know, I saw the you know, right
across from Crypto is the graffiti building.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, with the towers. They were supposed to be cleaned
up last year. How they look.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They look horrible. There's a graffiti ever. You could pay
one hundred guys and I'll volunteer. You go up the
you know the stairs with paint remover and you can
do you know, twenty floors a day. You can have
it done in a week. In a way, it's become
a landmark itself. It's a tourist attraction.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
You want to make sure that you see these unsightly
towers that have been covered by these graffiti artists.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's shocking.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
I see it every Sunday on my walk to Rouse
to do my grocery hall, and I just shake my
head because it's also a microcosm of la one. It
represents the lawlessness that you reference, that people could get
in and do something as elaborate as graffiti an entire
skyscraper from top to bottom, not just hathazardly, but with
artistic ability. That's how long that they were in there
(25:06):
doing this. But secondly, the fact that it's still standing
like that a year later, years a year later, and
that there has been no progress on removing that graffiti
or getting anybody else in there to develop the thing.
You try to do that in New York City and
NYPD would string you up by your balls before you
were out with out of one canapaign. I keep asking you,
maybe you've got a good answer. You were here for
(25:28):
nineteen eighty four when the Olympics came to town. What
are we going to do to present ourselves to the world.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well, you know, my mother used to say, when we
go to see the world, the world sees us. And
there's sort of that going on here. The world's coming
to see us, and we're not ready for it.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Not ready.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Not. What I keep saying is we're not ready to
be ready we have not done the initials. And now
obviously with city Hall going through afflirtations with bankruptcy basics.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
You know, I am not kidding you. I seriously thinking.
I had this conversation over the weekend. I think the
Olympic Committee might take the Olympics away from Los Angeles.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
The LA twenty eight guys were in Greece last week
talking to the International Olympic Committee. Now that's true for
all of the different cities that are hosting various Olympic
things coming up in the years to come, but LA
twenty eight was there.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
I watched this meeting.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
I reported on it last week, and basically those guys said, no, no,
we're we're gonna have it all in control.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Just like we said, traffic is going to be good.
We're gonna be ready.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
There might be problems with visas or anything, despite you know,
some rhetoric from the Trump administration, Everything's going to be good.
We can't wait to welcome you to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
All right, Well, look, I'm i'd be the first guy
to volunteer to help clean this city up, but nobody's
contacted me.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I'll call you, okay, Yeah, my street is Dirk.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
If if anybody wants me to volunteer and help clean
the city up before the Olympics, I'm in. I got
my gloves, I got my my protective goggles, I got
you know, I got my bags.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I can help clean this city. But where's the call
for that?
Speaker 8 (26:52):
That's what I mean, Like, where is the call to say,
why don't we organize? It's gonna take a village, right,
it's gonna take this big village. Nobody's go together, and
no one has done it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Nobody.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
I will help also, all right, four an hours a right,
we'll do that together.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Michael Monks, thank you, you got it.
Speaker 7 (27:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Hey if you were, if you showed up for the
San Juan Copastrana parade, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Nice to us see everybody out there.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Probably couple hundred thousand people out there for the San
Juan Capistrana parade.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I got there a little late. They want me there
at nine thirty.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I got their run ten, ten fifteen, and so all
the streets in San Juan Capistrano were closed and I
had to park on the east side of the five Freeway.
Which is the better way to go because then you
can get out of there when the parade's over. If
you're stuck inside the city, they don't open it up
till about three o'clock and you're there till three.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
So I was able to get out of there.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I parked about a mile and a half from the event,
And that's the move if you're in San Juan Capistrano.
Park across the freeway, in the mall, in the in
the neighborhood there, and then walk across the bridge so
you can get out of there after the parade.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But man, everybody was so cool to me.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Jim Taylor and his whole crew and his family, and
Lori Davies was down there. She's a i think a senator,
a state senator for California. But it was just a
great place to hang and a great place to raise kids.
If you're young and you're thinking about having kids, you
(28:26):
want to try to get into a neighborhood that's safe,
public schools are good, fire department comes out, police department
comes out. Those are the four things you need when
raising a family. Good schools, public schools, good fire department,
good police department, and safe. If you have four of
(28:50):
those things. Ninety five percent of your life is good
at home.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
If you don't have those.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Things, then you got to are thinking about cities that
do have those things. Like let's take Burbank, California, for instance.
Cops are great, firemen are great, schools are great, and
it's safe. So I love Burbank. But San Juan Capistranta
is the same way. If I had to do it
all over again, I may think about raising my daughter
(29:23):
in San Juan Capistrana.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oh my god, it's the old mission is there. It
still looks great even though it's two hundred and fifty
years old. They knew how to build buildings back then.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Bellion, I'm telling you, and you brought the sunshine this year.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
That's right. Well I brought the rain last year too.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Kind of fun ding dong with me.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
So I get into this white originally was gonna get
on the Budweiser float. And because they didn't know if
the white like Princess carriage was going to show up
or not, because it was coming from Riverside and there
were fifty to fifty on whether they're going to get
out there in time. But it did get there in time.
And so I'm on a white horse drawn carriage and
(30:07):
the two ladies, the Vicky and I remember heard the
other one woman's name. They were very nice and and
and so for the you know, a mile and a
half or two miles that is the parade route, I am.
You know, they're twenty people deep on both sides at
some point, and people yell out ding Dong the entire time,
(30:28):
and and one of the ladies, who was in charge
of the horse drawn card saying, what is that?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
What does that mean? Ding Dong?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
I said, well, it's a long story, but it has
to do with a woman getting killed in San Diego.
And she's like, oh my god, what a down a
downer this guy is.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
And people are screaming yeah yeah ding Dong, like, oh
is that guy a murdering?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
No, no, no, no, it has nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Nah, Come on, man, And then she did say she
was I noticed that all the guys yelling ding Dong
to you all look to say. They're all white guys
in their fifties with beards, slightly overweight and drinking.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I said that that's my crew. That's my crew. And
I enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
But a lot of women down there as well, yelling
out dig dog. So I must have heard it, I
don't know, a couple hundred times during the parade route.
And then everyone who didn't say ding dong, I could
hear them whispering pretty loudly.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Who is said? What does he do? What is DFI?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
No? Really?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Oh yeah, what's that all about? You? I get? But
the KFI I don't get that.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, people are like they didn't know, you know, because
they're in Orange County, where you don't have to listen
to the radio on how horrible your town is, because
it's not horrible. You know, people in LA like to
listen to KFI because they like to beat up on
how horrible LA is. Like we had monks in here
beating up on La, cause it is. It's a crappy city,
poorly run, that's the bottom line. And so if you're
(31:59):
outside of LA, you don't have to listen to that.
You know, you can listen to music or local radio,
or or just listen to what, you know, people enjoying themselves.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
But man, if you live in La, you you love KFI.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
You get to jump on every day this f the
trash f the water, a f the fires. Crazy here,
especially with John colebalt Man. That guy's great, So I
did they We had the parade, then went to Santa Anita.
Lost the couple of bucks out at Santa Aneda. That
was pretty pretty bummed out there. And then yesterday I
(32:34):
was invited to a Kings game. There's a there's a
guy named Keith who donated four seats and two hundred
dollars to the winner whoever wanted to bid for a
Kings game with me, which I thought was odd. And
and Jeff and Deiana from Thousand Oaks, they they paid
(32:56):
for the package.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
They took a limousine down there. This was all part
of the pastathon.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That's right, yes club. They donated a lot of money
to the Ponstaton. And then we sat there with each other,
the four of us, watching the game, and man, these
are beautiful people. You know, it's always a crap shoot
when you meet somebody new and you go to a
King game. You don't know what they're like, and you
don't know, well if you'll click with them. But that
Jeff and Deanna and Keith, those are the three perfect
(33:22):
people to go to a King's game.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
With.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
They enjoyed it, they behaved, they were enthusiastic, they had
funny lines.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It was like I had three old friends sitting with me.
That's nice. It was beautiful, man.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I'd go to a King game with those three people
over most of my childhood friends.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Ouch, that's true, most of them, because they also knew
the game.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
They're from Minnesota, you know, or back east, and they
knew hockey, and they grew up playing hockey. And and
and Jeff had loosely involved in building the Reagan Museum
belly or if you know that, do that and so.
But I didn't get a lot of details. I don't
I don't ask questions like that. I don't interrogate people
(34:08):
like you do when you're watching.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
The inactive and showing interest. I don't think it's an interigator.
I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I don't try to put a spotlight on the guy
and go, okay, tell me again.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
How you built this thing. And it's interesting though.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, it was great. And he is h and his
lovely wife, Deanna, she was great. And she had put
up with three idiots, you know, for the whole three hours,
and she never complained once. Jeff never complained. Keith never complained,
They laughed, they had great jokes, they had great lines,
and I had a great time. I would go with
(34:40):
those three to a King game every night if I
could every night. I'm telling you, Bellio, you missed out.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
I was.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I was thrilled, you know, like I really you know,
I got friends, old friends and stuff. So I'm not
really you know, I'm not I'm not expanding my friends, but.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I would add them in a heartbeat, in an arplement.
That's like a huge compliment from you.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And I invited all three of them to come into
the station and take a look around if they want
to bring friends and family. But those are three I
met three great people last night, three great people, and it.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Was all based on a great cause.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, one from your Belinda, Keys from YOURBA Linda and
Jeff and Deanna from one thousand Oaks. Three great people
in that in that arena last night. I will always
remember that Belly and the Kings won seven to two.
So it was a perfect It was the best. You
couldn't have asked for a better night. When I left there,
I felt like I was ten feet tall. I just
(35:38):
had a great experience with listeners and got to you know,
share some stories and heard their stories. It was just
a cool night, so I'm glad to do it all right.
