Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
A six fortes Conway Show. Let's get right to Michael Monks.
He's on Saturday seven to nine pm and laughing at
me for that stupid video that I was caught on
camera showing up to work late with a box of chips.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
If you haven't seen the video, go to Tim Conway's
social you gotta see it.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
It's a good laugh, it's the best. I didn't know that.
Bello Bellio got it from the one of the guys
who works in the building, and then just Ernie and
just posted it without like showing it to me anything,
just you know, takes video of me in a private location.
This isn't public, it's a private location, and takes the
video and puts it out on.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I didn't know there were cameras in that hallway, and
I'm glad I did.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
That was where I go to cry. Oh is that right?

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh no, you know one of our bosses, Yeah, we
will find that. One of our bosses said, he goes, Oh,
he goes, man, he goes. I've been and I've been
dreading it for like last two months, I fell in
that stairwell and I was and I'm looking around and
thinking who has the video? But I didn't want to
ask anybody because I didn't want it out there. I'm like,
now we haven't found that. I think they hold it
for seven days? Bell here, what is that? Eight days?

(01:13):
I think it's seven or eight days.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
That's what you've illustrated is all of us who work
here in this building now know that there is video
of the sadness and the tragedies that take place in
that stairwell.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Look, there's a video camera right there.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
We're always on video here, constantly surveilled. Yeah, always, yeah,
And so you have to be aware of that, you know.
So if you're you know, you're doing blow, you got
there's if Yeah, if you're doing blow, there's a uh
the entrance to the bathroom, not in the bathroom, because
there's four cameras in there too. Yeah. I I was
opposed to in the bowl. You know, I always thought

(01:47):
it was a good idea. You know, you know, only
these like funky bars, like growing up, it was like
senor frogs or you know, it's like one of those
bars that's decorated in everything that nobody wanted at home.
You know, there's a lamp with a leg on it,
then there's an umbrella and all that crap. I would
I think it would be great to go into a
bathroom and you know, you sit on the can and

(02:09):
right in front of you, they've glued ninety cameras to
the wall, all different cameras, you know, by instant camera,
a CLR camera or SLR camera, all these cameras, and
you're like, I wonder what I wonder if any of
those ninety five are on right now? All right, monks,
you have some serious business going on here.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, let's settle down, because it was a busy day
here in Los Angeles on the immigration front. And it
started in the morning, and then the Dodgers got involved,
and then the federal government got involved with the Dodgers.
I mean, this was a fast moving situation that was
going on. And what we saw first this morning with
some immigration enforcement outside the Home depot on Sunset Boulevard
over in Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I love that right off the one off, the one
on one free.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Exactly right there by the freeway. Host in the Netflix building.
You weren't here because you're a late comer to the party.
But that used to be a twenty four hour home
deepot really, that's right.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
And the reason why they closed it down or they'd
close at midnight because homeless guys would come in and
sleep on the patio furniture all night long. It has
the word home in the title, that's right. Yeah, that
was that was my go to home depot if I
needed something like at two am line would you need it? Well,
you know, we have an old house built in nineteen
thirty eight, and the saying is the only thing that

(03:24):
works in an old house is you. And when we
had anything break like a water maine or anything and
I had to get something to patch it, I would
go to home depot at eleven thirty twelve at night.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Well, if you would have been there this morning, it
would have been quite an active scene because did they
pick anybody up there?

Speaker 2 (03:40):
They did, apparently reportedly from the scene.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
It looked like witnesses said several somewhere up the twenty
possibly not just that the day laborers that you tend
to see in the parking lots of the home depots,
but food vendors that deep step outside there.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
It's a weird spot. To be in well, because also
those guys are spending.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Money, you know, maybe rules there, and certainly the contractors
that might pick them up might buy some supplies while
they're not. So it's kind of a weird capitalism versus
federal law kind of thing, a weird, weird, weird situation.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
And so when that happens, LAPD is not involved, shares
not involved. They bring their own security exactly.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
So the federal government shows up and it's all fed
unless they need help to quell the crowd, which is
what we saw happen at the low store in Pacoima
moments after that, because there was immigration of federal agents
were present there and a crowd showed up. Because these
demonstrators move fast, just as fast as ice DUTs oh yeah,

(04:39):
or border patrol or any of them, they get the
folks out there. So this happened in Pacoima this morning
as well. Crowd shows up. The LAVT had to come
out to get that crowd out of the way so
the federal agents could leave.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Now, you're from Kentucky and I suspect outside of perhaps Louisville,
maybe not, you know, was it Knoxville, Kentucky? But that's Tennessee.
What's the other one though, Louisville, Lexington, Lexington, I'm sorry Lexington.
Outside of Lexington and Louisville and maybe Cincinnati, the cops
are still old school, old school where they stepped you

(05:12):
quick and you better behave So LAPD in the last
twenty to twenty five years has turned over a no
leaf where a new leaf. Where they are, they're a
little more sensitive, and so is Glendale Police Department, so's
the sheriff. Everybody out here. All the agencies out here
are a lot more sensitive to people when they arrest
them and pull them over. But if you're still in

(05:32):
the south Man, they stepped you quick, and so I
think we're getting a dose to that with these Feds
coming out here.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
These are guys that are on a mission, right they
have It's not they're not just doing general patrol, you know,
like a.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Highway, but they don't seem to have any patients with it,
That's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Like they're here and they're not messing around with anybody,
and so they have crowds that show up and try
to antagonize them.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's starting to get more tense as the days go on.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Right, So what happens is you have these these events,
the Home Depot in Hollywood, the Low's in Bacoima, and
suddenly you see federal agents near Dodger Stadium. Ah later
in the morning, this very morning. Oh that right, and
so word gets out, hey, ICE is staging at Dodgers Stadium.

(06:18):
Demonstrators swarm to Dodger Stadium spray painting on Dodgers. Look,
you know this, the Dodgers and the immigrant community have
a relationship, but it's been a little spicy lately because
some in that community have one of the Dodgers to
come out and say more. And today they were supposed
to come out and say this is our plan. They
haven't yet because I think of what went down this

(06:40):
morning has probably changed the timeline for those plans. So
you have federal agents outside Dodger Stadium, protesters there as well.
The LAPD had to come to that as well to
stand between the agents and the demonstrators. Ultimately, the federal
agents leave and the Dodgers put out a statement. Okay,

(07:00):
and this is where it gets a little bit more
interesting because the Dodgers say, this morning, ICE agents came
to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots.
They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization.
Tonight's game will be played as schedule. Department of Homeland
Security comes back and says this had nothing to do
with the Dodgers. CBP, Customs and Border Patrol vehicles were

(07:23):
in the stadium parking lot very briefly, unrelated to any
operation or enforcement.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Okay, well, it's something that most of our listeners may
know because they're they're smart. But you also may not
know this because you don't care. But Frank McCourt still
owns the parking lots. Dodgers don't know the park.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Strange about the statement, and I don't want to speculate,
but the Dodgers came out and said they were denied
entry to the grounds by the organization. But that must
have been the mc courts then, becausey didn't say it
flat out and they didn't say by us. Yeah, it's
not by them, and so it's very very unclear they
don't own the parking lots. And also as far as
language goes and who's who in this ice also responded

(08:05):
to that and say that wasn't us, by the.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Way, and an easy out for the Dodgers. Hey, we would,
you know, we would throw them out of the parking lots,
but we don't own them. I think that's what happened.
To talk to Frank. Somebody said you can't come in now.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
The only Times had been reporting earlier in the morning
before the Dodgers Stadium. It sources were telling them that
the parking lot said you can't come in here. You know,
the owners as you're saying, right, can't come in here.
The Dodger says the organization ICE also says that wasn't us.
Is this where it gets a little You get into
the weeds of the language. Not all of the federal
immigration agents are ICE. That was Customs Border Patrol, So

(08:39):
federal immigration agents is probably a safe way to say
all of this.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
But I says that wasn't us. We weren't there. Here's
a tip, and how I get into that parking lot?
Forty dollars expensive to park there?

Speaker 4 (08:52):
It is.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Indeed, it all goes to Frank and Jamie McCord. It's
not a bad business. Is lining their pockets? Not a
bad business? Money, buddy, appreciate coming in Sadder and nine
PM live right here on here. I love coming on
you're working six days a week. You know, somebody's got
to do it. Somebody's got to do some work around here,
I guess. So A happy birthday also to John Colebelt.
John cole Belt, he said he's going to get Polish

(09:13):
food tonight and I made a Polish joke and he
didn't like it.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
He said there are only two Polish restaurants in la
And I said, I know they're right next door to
each other.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Right.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
I don't get it because if you had two great
Polish restaurants, you would have one in the valley, like
one in the city, and people could you know, could
come from the valley of the city. You wouldn't put
him right next to each other. Why don't you work
on that? And well, because it's a Polish joke, right,

(09:45):
they're owned by the same guy and they're sitting there
next to each other. You know what was funny the
video in the stairwell that ah you're the best ah
manh l J cool jauh A right Fox Thanks Buddy,
seven and nine pm on Saturday. Man monks didn't get
that at all. See that Brooker, you're in entertainment, that's true.

(10:07):
He's not he's a news guy. Yeah, so the two
greatest Polish restaurants in la are right next door to
each other. You see how that's like a Polish joke.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
It's it's the perfect Polish show, right right.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
It's not that funny. It's just a perfect Polish joke,
because the Polish jokes weren't that funny never.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
And that's what's funny about.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's that it's flat as hell. You know, that's the joke.
I get it. Oh, Steph Fuje gave me the finger.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I was watching the Los Angeles Dodgers last night and
they beat the San Diego Padres for the third night
in a row in the bottom of the ninth with
a Will Smith walk off home run. That was great.
And San Diego and Los Angeles hate each other. Padres

(11:03):
and the Dodgers do not get along, and they've been
throwing at each other throughout the series, and tonight we'll
just get even crazier down there because the Padres are
pissed that they're losing to the Dodgers. This is the
third game in a row. They've got two more kind

(11:23):
of an odd five game homestand you rarely see that
anymore in the major leagues. Five game Homestand so the
Dodgers will play tonight, I think first, I think first
pitches at seven or seven to ten, and then tomorrow
as well, and then the Washington's come into town. So
the washington would be playing the what are they called

(11:46):
the Senators? What do they call that team?

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Now?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
The Generals, the bullets Commanders, Now that's football. What do
they call their baseball team? The Senators, the Congressmen, the
cheating husbands, that'd be a great name for him, Yeah,
Washington cheating husbands. Hay, the Nationals, Hey, Petros, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Buddy? Heard?

Speaker 2 (12:08):
I heard you? You say ding? You said ding dong?
Earlier we're talking about the Day without a King? Was
that I was.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
Watching an old Watts concert from nineteen seventy two called
Watts Stacks in the Coliseum.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Okay, it was like an anniversary of the La Riots.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
And that casually watching, well, I had the I was
shielding my music, so I had like the concert recordings
in my music library.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Oh I and then but what I had.

Speaker 8 (12:35):
In the recordings, like part of the concert recording was
just Billy Eckstein, the old jazz singer, like telling people
to get off the field at the coliseum for twenty minutes.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Come home, baby.

Speaker 8 (12:44):
I like your white pants suit, but I need you
off the field now.

Speaker 4 (12:47):

Speaker 8 (12:48):
Black Moses Isaac Hayes ain't coming on unless y'all get
off the field. And Jesse Jackson was there, Oh good
with his afro, and they did the chant a seven
hour concert.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
They did the chant somebody That's right and.

Speaker 8 (13:03):
Uh and the Staples singers and Albert King and Little
Milton and Black Moses Isaac Hayes was the headline.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
What a night.

Speaker 8 (13:11):
So I watched that, and you know, when Jesse Jackson
was up there, I thought about you.

Speaker 4 (13:15):

do well here.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Hey, you're a celebrity in the eyes of my daughter.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
What's the matter with you? Why are you so obsessed
with that? I stretching it out?

Speaker 5 (13:32):
Man?

Speaker 2 (13:33):
So I'm driving with my daughter in the car the
other day and your I was watching listening to five
seventy AM and a live read or a recorder read
comes out and my daughter goes, oh, that's the don't
do it, Lyle, don't do it, Lole.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
I want you to know I tackle Lyle.

Lemon after I break his spine with but the flying knee,
I could see it. He's pointing at you, and I'm
coming the other way on the flying knee, and you
hit him and you see me coming and Lyle sees
it too late and turns flying knee right to the sternum.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
And won't you be screaming while you're approaching him.

Speaker 8 (14:18):
Don't do it that? And then all you'd hear is
the air leaving his body like cool, like when Oswald
got shot in the stomach.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Remember that?

I mean he's a he's a multi billionaire who knows
how to run a sports franchise.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Right.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
But now the Lakers, you know, in the NBA, they
have a salary cap and you can't you can't top that.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
You can't.

Speaker 8 (15:12):
I mean there's ways that you can spend more money
than the Lakers have been. But it's not just like
the Dodgers, where you know no one. You can buy
everybody and pay him in twenty fifty and it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Do you know the guy Piez for the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Andy Piz, Yeah, the Cuban guy. Yeah, yeah, the centerfielder.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
He bets seven for the Dodgers, and he's the best
hitter on the team, and he might be going to
the All Star Game.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
It's very possible.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
You know, he should be.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
He has the numbers to get the votes going MLB
dot com.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
The Dodgers might have seven players on the All Star team.
I yeah, somebody, you're the best man.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Colleague and Bill does Billy selling Don Martin.

Speaker 8 (16:02):
Love one lovely day, My man, I'm playing hot Drangers.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
I've become one with the heart.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I trade it, don't do it Lile Petros and the
Petros and money show. That guy's the best man. That
guy is the absolute best. There's nobody, nobody in radio
that walks right up to that line every single day
and just kicks it the nuts. Nobody I thought I did.

(16:37):
I don't. I thought Stern did. He doesn't. I thought
a lot of guys did. They don't. That guy does.
That guy does. He's on every day on five seventy am.
And I always said, if I'm starting a radio station,
I start with Matt money Smith and Petros Papadakis, and
then I formed everybody else around them, and it would
be a winner, uh winner.

Speaker 7 (17:00):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
A lot of big news going around here in southern
California and across the world. I ran or Iran and Israel.
That's getting hot. We'll have some news on that. Also.
The raid's going on ice here in town with the
Feds in Los Angeles, and gas prices you might be

(17:26):
seeing eight dollars a gallon, eight bucks a gallon. They
are going to take all of our money from us,
these big corporation. Like when my dad was had a family,
he had six kids, and that's expensive to have six kids,

(17:46):
just in food and clothing and you know, education and crez.
You know, just it's a lot. But yet when my
dad was growing up, he had a lot less bills
to pay. There were no there was no cable bills,
there was no cell phone bill, there was no streaming,
there was none of all this stuff that drains us.

(18:07):
The gas was you know, eighty five cents a gallon.
But now if you look at your credit card statement
every month, you're paying nine dollars for this, thirteen dollars
for this, another stream or another you know, cell phone,
you know whatever it is. You know Hulu. You're also
paying for subscriptions on your TV. It just adds up.

(18:29):
You're paying for Wi Fi. My dad never had to
pay for Wi Fi. And it adds up, and everybody
is broke. Everybody's broke. We can't afford eight dollars a
gallon for gas, but it looks like it's on its way.

Speaker 9 (18:43):
With the state's gas tax expected to go up in
the next two weeks. Republican Senator Brian Jones says Californians
can't afford another increase.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Cause that's right.

Speaker 9 (18:50):
The policies passed by CARB are driving up the cost
for drivers, and he's hoping the audit will show that.

Speaker 10 (18:55):
Gas is costing enough where you know, vacations are cheaper
flying than driving, which is something different.

Speaker 11 (19:01):
Instead of traveling for fun.

Speaker 9 (19:03):
Jen Ross has found herself planning more staycations as she
has been feeling the financial impacts from current gas prices.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Ah that poor lady what's your name? Jen Ross?

Speaker 11 (19:11):
Instead of traveling for fun jen Ross.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Jen Ross will be spending time in la I guess,
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (19:17):
It really stops us from traveling like we'd want to travel.
We kind of stick around and have staycations.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
I like.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
First, I hate people use that term. I can't stand
that term. I got some rules. That's one of them.
Another one is, I don't attack anybody at Christmas unless
they attack me. I don't know, you know, uh Brooker,
I don't know if people on the show now this somebody.
But I don't know. I don't know if you do
or not. But and Bellio thinks it's the strangest thing
in the world. But when I get a Christmas gift

(19:44):
or a Christmas card, I consider that an attack, like
somebody's attacking me.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Why you don't like cards.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
No, because then I got to turn around and attack
them with a card or a gift or something weird, right,
and just keep attacking each.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
Other so you feel like the card itself is in
a attack, not the gift.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
They're both attack.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Do you want no gifts?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
That's right? Don't attack me? Okay, you know. Around the holidays,
I'm trying to enjoy the holidays, not go out and
run out and get you a card or a gift
and then have to figure out your address and send
it to.

Speaker 12 (20:15):
You, because he then feels pressure to.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Attack and back right, I will have to tack back.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
What about hugs? What about holiday hugs?

Speaker 8 (20:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Please, let let's just keep our hands to ourselves. Then
we learn that in nursery school or kindergarten. And then we
tell us that I have my daughter make cards. She
makes her own like cards and stuff like that. That's
one way to get around the going out and buying
some You can make something. Please, don't attack me. Don't
attack me.

Speaker 10 (20:42):
Back to gas tax, kind of stick around and have staycations.

Speaker 9 (20:44):
On July first, California's gas tax will automatically increase an
additional two cents totally sixty one point two cents a gallon.

Speaker 11 (20:51):
Drivers here and secd wait how much increase.

Speaker 9 (20:53):
An additional two cents totally sixty one point two cents
a gallon?

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Okay, two cents isn't bad. I'll pay that.

Speaker 9 (20:59):
Drivers here in Sacker meant to say gas is already
not affordable, and even a penny more could put a
strain on their wallets.

Speaker 11 (21:05):
Every two sins counts.

Speaker 9 (21:07):
Republican Senator Brian I don't know about that every two
sins counts.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
I don't know if your budget is that tight, maybe
you know you got to you got to open up
your schedule and you know, look for another gig or something.
If you're worried about not going on vacation or going
on vacation and the two cents is holding you back,
wouldn't I wouldn't brag about.

Speaker 11 (21:29):
That every two sins counts.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
That's not necessarily true in this case.

Speaker 9 (21:33):
Republican Senator Brian Jones says California drivers should brace themselves
for more increases with the recent amendments made to the
Low Carbon Field Standard by the California Air Resources Board.

Speaker 11 (21:43):
Jones believes gas prices could swar to more than eight
dollars per gallon by twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Do you hear that eight bucks a gallon?

Speaker 11 (21:50):
Eight dollars per gallon by twenty twenty six?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
And then twenty twenty six is around the corner. We're
nearly in July. Half of this year is almost over,
and July's you know, gonna be here, and it's gonna
be around the corner. We're gonna be twenty twenty six
and we'll pay eight bucks a gallon.

Speaker 11 (22:07):
Now he's demanding an audit.

Speaker 13 (22:09):
Number one is does California Air Resources Board appropriately estimate
the economic impacts of these decisions?

Speaker 5 (22:16):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
They don't, making him on these regulations. Yah, you don't
have to do this study. I'll tell you they don't.

Speaker 13 (22:20):
Do they meet legal transparency requirements?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
No, I'll tell you now, you don't have to do
a whole study. I'll tell you they don't.

Speaker 9 (22:25):
Jones wants the audit to find out if KARB is
weighing economic impacts of its regulations and if CARB has
deliberately downplayed projected gas costs. He says CARBS policies are
causing gas refineries to close in the state.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's right, A couple of them are closing, one up
north and one down here, driving up costs.

Speaker 13 (22:41):
Gas prices in California can get up to eight dollars
and forty three cents a gallon by December twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Okay, gang, Look, I know a lot of you people
out there. You're half assed listening. You're on your phone,
maybe it's on in the car. There's somebody else in
the car talking and you have you don't really listen
with you know, full attention. You've got to listen to this.
Turn it up just a little. There you go, there
you go, and listen to this. This is huge and

(23:09):
hugely important for everybody that lives in California.

Speaker 13 (23:11):
To eight dollars and forty three cents in gallon by
December twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Eight dollars and forty three cents a gallon by next year.

Speaker 13 (23:20):
Eight dollars and forty three cents a gallon by December
twenty twenty six. That's only eighteen.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Months from now. That's not very long.

Speaker 13 (23:27):
Californians can't afford eight dollars and forty three cents a gallon,
that's right.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
He's a very smart man.

Speaker 9 (23:33):
In response, a CARB spokesperson tells ABC ten there is
no tax associated with the LCFS and the state does
not collect money from the program, adding that market forces drive.

Speaker 11 (23:42):
Costs, but not regulators. CARB also says gas.

Speaker 9 (23:45):
Is likely to increase between five and eight cents per gallon,
and these high end assumptions have no historical or documentable evidence.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Eight dollars and forty three cents by next December, eight.

Speaker 13 (23:55):
Dollars and forty three cents a gallon by December twenty
twenty six.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
How are we going to afford that cat?

Speaker 7 (24:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway tune you're on demand from
KFI AM six.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Forty is the Conway Show. We got a lot of heighs.
So we've got a lot of crime going around in
this country of ours. And somebody stole Jauja. I like that.
I wanted to play a little more. Somebody stole nearly
three thousand Nintendo switch consoles, three thousand of them. Unbelievable.

Speaker 12 (24:30):
If you want to get your hands on a Nintendo.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Switch to, Oh I do I love the switch?

Speaker 12 (24:34):
You're out of luck. Sucks, You're out of luck.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Okay, all right, I have to rub it in.

Speaker 12 (24:40):
You're out a lot. Ride out right, hold out in
some spots and others marked way up. De'ves decided they
couldn't wait, hitting a semi truck carrying the consoles.

Speaker 14 (24:49):
When deputies arrived, they did determine that twenty eight ten
Tendo switch To consoles were stolen out of the back
of that trailer.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
How do you get How do you move twenty eight
hundred of those things on eBay? It take you two
years three years.

Speaker 12 (25:04):
Andres Nelson with the Rapahoe County Sheriff's Office says, a
truck driver was at the Loves Truck Stop in Bennett
when you noticed his trailer had been broken into. He
told deputies he didn't know these hot ticket items were
in his cab. He's got multiple palletsful of the Nintendo
switch to consoles, no small hall.

Speaker 14 (25:21):
Yeah, they retail at four hundred and ninety nine dollars.
The cost Nintendo is just over four hundred and ten dollars,
So either way you look at it, it's well over
a million dollars worth of merchandise.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
Stelling exactly right.

Speaker 12 (25:33):
Steve Batty is a computer science professor at MSU Denver.
He says, don't expect those swipe switches to show up
on Craigslist or a pawnshops.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Because they're stolen. I would expect them to head to
the dark web pretty quickly.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, exactly right. Yeah, who's right, You're right he said
that about himself.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
Exactly right.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, he said that about himself.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Unless they're shipped out of country.

Speaker 12 (25:55):
The anonymous spot to buy and sell feeding a demand and.

Speaker 5 (25:59):
Took me about two minutes to find dun exactly right. Okay,
please switches for sale. Okay, so it's.

Speaker 12 (26:04):
Half price if you end up with the stolen switch.
Baby says. These devices each have a serial number. Please
Nintendo can.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Trap Uh no, you're playing Nintendo one night at three
am and the cops knock on the door. Stolen switch.

Speaker 12 (26:18):
You're going in when you log in, you have to
register that number. That's how you play games, get updates. Nintendo,
he says, can then track your device.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Oh do you hear that? You don't want to be
on weed playing Nintendo. I don't know Sonic the Hedgehog?
Is that the hot game? What's the hot game? Stephush,
you're a game, aren't you?

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Mario Kart, Mario Kart. All right, you're playing Mario Kart
at three am. You're all hopped up on weed, and
then you get a knock on the door from the
cops because your switch is stolen.

Speaker 12 (26:47):
Nintendo, he says, can then track your device.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
Nintendo does have the capability of what we call bricking
the device, and that is to make it non functional.

Speaker 12 (26:57):
Getting around that lockdown isn't simple, Baby says. You have
to try and jail break it, essentially sidestepping those protections
through coding.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh my god, Look, it's worth spending the extra two
hundred if you're going to get a hot switch one
that's stolen for two hundred bucks, or you can buy
a legitimate one for five hundred bucks and enjoy the game.
I don't know. I think it's worth spending the extra
three hundred bucks if you can afford it, because then
you got to it's gonna be brigged. Then you got
to go out and figure out, you know, hire some

(27:25):
local computer whiz to come in there and crank it
up and start it up again.

Speaker 12 (27:29):
He says, you have to try and jail break it.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
You gotta jail break it now.

Speaker 12 (27:33):
Essentially sidestepping those protections through coding.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Who has the time and knowledge to do that or.

Speaker 12 (27:39):
Avoid connecting to the internet altogether. His deputies work to
detect who cleared out these consoles. Baty says, if you
two are on the hunt for a switch, stick to
the shops you trust.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
They are pricey little devices, right, But and so if
you're not paid.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Is that a good one, stef the switch? Is that
a good console? It's pretty solid?

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Yeah? I like it a lot.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Do you play Brooker?

Speaker 8 (27:59):
Do you.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
I got so excited for this story. I love Nintendo.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
You have a switch.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
I have a switch.

Speaker 10 (28:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
We play Animal Crossing a lot.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Is that like Frogger?

Speaker 6 (28:12):
No, sound like it would be.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Do you know what Frogger is? And it's called animal Crossing.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
It's called animal Crossing?

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Where is that?

Speaker 6 (28:21):
Where you build an island? It became really really popular
during COVID. You build this sort of like island and
you take all of the things that you find on
the island, like tree ranches and leaves and rocks, and
you know, all this stuff, and you basically build a life,
like a like a little life on the island with
your little animal friends and go you go fishing. You

(28:41):
can take a little boat and go out on another island, and.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Then you can connect to other players.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Yes, that's a cool thing about the switch. You can
connect to other players through like a code or something,
and go on other visit other people's islands, and there's
a little airplane that flies you to their island. It's
really just a cute game.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Sold I love it.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
It's so sweet.
