Plus, the crew reminisces about tanning trends from back in the day while debating today's "tanmaxxing" craze, covers the shocking Molotov cocktail attack on a man in a wheelchair in Oklahoma, and explores how one legendary Hollywood prop shop is adapting to the entertainment industry's production slowdown.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Appy.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Remember I told you about that guy the sports not
His name is Mike Didno Da d Dno, and that's
the only guy I've ever recommended to as a sports
YouTube guy. He's great, aggressive, lot of language, a lot
(00:29):
of yelling, but it's very, very entertaining. So when we
like a week and a half ago, I said, hey,
this guy Mike Di Dino Dad So Dad and then
Dino like the dog in the Flintstones, Di Dino Da
d d I n O. And he was at eighty
one thousand subscribers. Now he's up to one hundred and
(00:51):
seventeen thousand, So I don't know if they've had anything
to do with it mentioning him on the show. Maybe
it helped, Maybe he got a couple I don't know,
but he's up to one hundred and seventeen thousand. This
guy gets, you know, five to ten thousand, twenty thousand
more subscribers a week, and he's going to have a
million before you know it.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And he is sensational.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I can't wait for the newest the Dino videos to
come out, and he puts out one or two a day,
you know. Sometimes he skips a day, you know. But
they're very entertaining. I can't play any of them on
the air because of the language, but they're they're really good,
especially if you're a Mets fan and you're pulling your
(01:36):
hair out with what's going on with this team. You know,
the second highest payroll in baseball, and what are the
sixteen games out of first place? Let me let me
look up the standings and see where your New York
Mets are National League, and your New York Mets are
in last place at all Star break, dead last in
(01:59):
the National League East. They're sixteen games out of first place,
sixteen games. They've only won twenty one games at home
all season, twenty one games at home, and they've played
close to ninety well, i'll tell you how many they played.
They played ninety seven games. After ninety seven games, they've
(02:23):
won twenty one at home and nineteen on the road,
and they stink. They've got great players, but there's no chemistry.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
There at all.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
So this guy bangs, Mike Dedino bangs. I think it's
his favorite team, the Mets, and he hits them really,
really hard.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
They're winning.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
They're winning forty one percent of their games. The only
team in the National League that's worse than the Mets
are Sharon Bellio's Colorado Rockies. They win thirty nine percent
of their games. Are twenty two and a half games
behind the Dodgers. Twenty two and a half games. That's
(03:05):
a lot. It's almost impossible to catch up. They're not
going to do it this year. I don't think the
Mets will either. It'll be a miracle if the Mets
make the playoff playoffs, an absolute miracle. But if you're
like me where you know you're promised a great team
and then it goes in the toilet, you know what
that's like As a sports fan, you know, whether you're
(03:28):
a Blackhawks fan or Cubs or you know, maybe you're
a San Francisco Giants fan, and that's again not working
out for you. This year, the Giants are nineteen and
a half games behind the Dodgers. And the Giants every
year try to win the World Series. You know, they're
always in contention. They're always trying to attract great players.
(03:51):
It's a great ballpark they play in, and they're nineteen
and a half games back, they've only won twenty two
at home and nineteen on the road. Nineteen games out,
a ninety six on the road. Dodgers sixty one and
thirty six, thirty one game home wins, thirty away wins.
The only team that has in the only team in
(04:13):
the thirty thirty club. There's no other team in baseball
that has thirty wins at home and thirty wins on
the road, and there's none even close, and the closest
one is the Rays with thirty five and twenty one.
So great year for the Dodgers, horrible year for the Mets.
But it does make Mike Di Dino's YouTube awfully interesting
(04:37):
because if you hate the Mets like I do, or
you love the Mets, it's very entertaining. The last name
d A d DN Mike the Dino. Check it out.
He's not an advertiser. We're not getting any benefits from this.
I'm just turning on to a really entertaining guy, and
I think that you'll be checking in with it every
day to see what the newest videos are because he's
(05:00):
like us, you know, he's not He's a sports fan
and he gets crazy when his team is nineteen and
a half games back when they have the second highest
payroll in baseball. This is a complete collapse of the
New York Mets. This might hurt him for the next
ten years, because why would you go play for the
Mets if they have all those great players. There's really
(05:22):
no more room in the you know, if they do
a hard salary cap with the strike that's imminent for
next year, this might hurt the Mets for the next
ten years. And so if you're a Mets fan, you
might be looking at a long period before they get
back to you know where you want them in contention
(05:43):
every year in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
All right, let's talk it Brown.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Do that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh, how about this one? This is interesting ten maxing.
How much is too much sun? You know, this is
sun season. If you have a daughter or wife that
likes to go get tan guys do it. Guys are
doing it now too. But how much is too much sun?
And tanning with sunblock, you know, baby oil, all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You got to be aware of this.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
These young ladies are ignoring decades of warnings about sunbathing.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
In fact, they're obsessed with tanning.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I personally feel my most confident in my best self
when I'm tan, I feel like I look skinnier, I
look prettier.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Brionna Linderman and her friends are part of a growing
number of teenagers were tan maxing.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, that's they're not alone. Almost all girls. Guys can
take it to leave it, but almost all girls, especially
teenagers you know, thirteen to nineteen, even in their early twenties,
they are all very curious about how far they can
go with their tan. They all, all of them think
(06:53):
they look better with a tan, and they're right.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
By the way.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Tan maxing is tanning for as long as possibook as
there you go.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
That's what tan maxing is. Another term we've got to learn.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
You know my mantra in life?
Speaker 9 (07:05):
Right?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
What is it?
Speaker 8 (07:07):
If you can't tone it tan it?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Do you do anything on your face? Do you have
any lifts or or talks or boatoks or anything?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Who?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh you don't? Oh wow, because some people go to
Mexico to do that. Gee, I wonder who do you have?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Anybody?
Speaker 9 (07:26):
You know? Anybody does that? I do?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I'm actually going this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Wait you're going?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Oh I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I thought you had friends that did that.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Well, we all do it?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I say, and what do you go to Mexico for.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
You know, for some taco, some little TLC.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
All right, okay, all right, I got it. I got
you sort of want to talk about it, but you
really don't.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I get I get it. I totally get it, buddy.
All right, Tan, have you heard that term before? Tan maxing?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (07:51):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Also, how long have you known that term since the
early two thousands?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Really?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yes, God almighty, don't want to heard that term first?
When about ten minutes ago?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Tan maxic tan max thing is tanning for as long
as pall school, as any times for you've.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Never heard that term before today.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
The strange thing is that these ladies say they spend
hours a day baking in the sun when the UV
rays are the strongest.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh okay, here's your warning on that. You're gonna look
great now, and you're gonna look really horrible when you
get older. Lots and lots of different tones in the skin,
brights hots, reds, brown spots. It's gonna be a radical
(08:38):
painting when you get older. Paint by numbers are gonna
need a lot of numbers.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
And often they don't wear any sunscreen at all.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Oh, can you remember Krozier.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
You probably remember this because you're a little older than
most of the other people on this program. But do
you remember when when we were going through school and
the women used to go, mostly the girls, they'd go
to the beach or go down to the pool. They
used to put baby oh yeah, yeah, to increase the machine. Yeah,
to increase the tan and the sun on your skin.
And in the eighties we put lemon juice on our hair.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Yeah, that's right, I see like in movies, like eighties
inspired movies, like the women on the beach with like
foil like oh yeah, reflecting on their face like crazy.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Yeah, she's doing the solar tan. Did you get into that?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (09:22):
Absolutely? That band issolet gel stuff that used to put
on Oh my gosh, that was the best. But I
was going to say that my uncle, one of my
uncles was a lifeguard for you know, La City and
or La County or whoever has the lifeguards, and they
had this little concoction for tanning. It was baby oil
(09:43):
and iodine.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Wow is that?
Speaker 10 (09:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yeah, Crosier, lemon for your hair. I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Lemon juice for what? Oh it makes it lighter, makes
it blonde. Bleach, bleaches it out highlights. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, so we do it on the side, do it
on top, Oh yeah, make everybody's hair blonde.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I'm gonna try that, are you It'll work? It definitely works.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
There was there was a product I don't think it's
still out there called sun In. They basically did the
same thing. But if you didn't sunny and just put
the lemon juice.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
In there, got it?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Curating it out angel.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You probably remember that that slogan band aid sole for
the central paces.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
That's right, I don't know, Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Santrope, which is I believe the southern part of France
on the Mediterranean. If I'm correct, I think that's where
Sentrope is.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I don't know. I don't I think that's where it is.
All right, dig dog with it? All right? Back to
tan maxing.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
According to dermatologists, all that time in the sun can
have long term consequences I told you, and can lead
to skin cancer and premature aging.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
You hear that? Is that worth it?
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And can lead to skin cancer and premature.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Aging, very premature aging, like like in your forties.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Doctors say there's nothing healthy about a so called healthy tan.
A tan is actually your skin's response to DNA damage
caused by the sun. We arranged for Brianna and Jordan
Camilli to be checked out at the Ablon Skin Institute
in Manhattan Beach, California, where doctor Glennis Avlon conducted a
comprehensive exam.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Okay, you're gonna go ahead and put your chin right here.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Oh no, all right, well you're warned. You're worn. We're
live on KF.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I think the All Star Game is over and the
American League. Let's see here, let's see All Stars score.
So if you don't want to hear it, shut the
radio off for nothing. American League and it's over. National
League scored zero runs. We're live on KFI. More nouth Crush.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Here's a guy who's had a bad run of luck.
He's in a wheelchair buzzing around Oklahoma and somebody throws
a Molotov cocktail at him. So he thought, Okay, life
has dealt me a crazy hand here. I'm going to
be in the wheelchair for the rest of my life.
(12:04):
I hope that's it. And then bang, somebody throws a
Molotov cocktail at the guy in the wheelchair. What's going
on with Oklahoma? Going on with this guy? Think dog
with this guy?
Speaker 12 (12:18):
A scary incident on the streets of Oklahoma City when
police say a man throw a molotov cocktail at another
man in a wheelchair in broad daylight. Cops say it
actually happened close to police headquarters.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Wow, she in a wheelchair close to police headquarters.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You're safe. Nothing's gonna happen to you. Not so fast.
Speaker 12 (12:40):
Surveillance video shows the victim cross the intersection in his wheelchair. Meanwhile,
this suspect seemingly just walks past him, crossing another street.
When the suspect reaches the other side of the street,
he doesn't about face and confronts the man in the wheelchair.
Moments later, he's lighting the cocktail and get at the wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
What's going on with this guy?
Speaker 12 (13:03):
Flame's breaking out on the road. Witnesses, including passing police officers,
rush to help. They detained the suspect while another passer
by helped the victim. Officials say he only had minor injuries,
but they credit the community and first responders for not
letting this situation go any further.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, the cops originally thought that the Molotov cocktail blew
his legs off, and the guy in the chair said, no,
it's why.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
I'm in the chair.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So, but what a bad day for that dude. He's
in Oklahoma in the summer, it's one hundred and forty
degrees every day, wheelchair bound crossing the street and Mack
gets hit with You know, Molotov cocktails has been around
hundreds of years.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Let's see it.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
That'd be interesting, malltve cocktails sale.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
They've been around how many years?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Let's see the origin of a Molotov. Molotov cocktail goes
back eighty seven years, nineteen thirty nine, first one and
the last one.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Oklahoma. At the guy in the wheelchair, What a day
for that man? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Prop shops in Los Angeles being affected by the slowdown
in production, a lot of them are closing up shop.
What happens to the props, What happens to the shop?
What happens to the employees, the owner? What's going on?
Speaker 13 (14:38):
Pam and Jim el ate creep magic.
Speaker 14 (14:40):
So these were used on Gleet Anchorman. You'll see these
on Anchorman, and we made one of these for Spielberg's Lincoln,
and he liked it so much he said, can you
make eighteen of them?
Speaker 13 (14:50):
Their history for Higher prop shop helps Hollywood transport us.
Speaker 14 (14:54):
We have nuclear weapons at history for Higher.
Speaker 13 (14:56):
Even part of blockbusters like Oppenheimer and l La Land.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
Okay, you are sitting on Ryan Gosling's piano stool from
Lalla Land.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Okay, I like this lady that owns this place.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
She still has a spirit even though her business is,
you know, suffering.
Speaker 13 (15:14):
What's her name, Pam and jim el Ya.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Pam and jim ell Ya. This Pam is beautiful. She's
got a great spirit. It's not a mystery why she
was in the prop business for so long and got
along well with everybody. She has what it takes to
be in Hollywood. You know that upbeat positive. You want
to get your props from her because she's great. And
(15:38):
imagine her husband's the same way. And even with you know,
great shop, great props, great personality, great service, they still
can't operate, just not enough business.
Speaker 14 (15:48):
Have a seat. Okay, you are sitting on Ryan Gosling's
piano stool from Lalla Land. Really, this is his beloved
piano stool.
Speaker 13 (15:56):
It all started forty years ago when the young couple
started running props from their apartment. They began amassing everything
from typewriters to war relics to suitcases.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Imagine what that apartment looks like before they you know,
Jesus Christ, wait a bite, you're gonna do what? We're
going to run a prop shop out of our apartment
on Kester and Sherman Way, right. You know a lot
of people call those hoarders.
Speaker 13 (16:23):
And what they've collected is now stacked up and packed
into a thirty three thousand square foot warehouse.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Okay, so they've expanded the apartment thirty three thousand square
feet of props.
Speaker 13 (16:35):
But in recent years, independent entertainment businesses like theirs have
suffered continued blows. The impacts of COVID industry strikes, new technologies,
and inflated overhead costs have forced many of their longtime
collaborators to scale back or shut down.
Speaker 14 (16:52):
There were two of them that decided to close their
doors last week.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
That it just two two in one week, two big
prop shops in one week, or shut down.
Speaker 14 (17:02):
There were two of them that decided to close their
duellis last week that it just kicked the wind out
of my sales.
Speaker 13 (17:08):
The couple used to have twenty employees. Now they run
on a staff of eight. Pam says, well, they've always
shipped some props out of state or overseas. More and
more productions are seeking cheaper locations elsewhere.
Speaker 14 (17:20):
What we hadn't seen before was not being the first
place that people look at to work. So we are
no longer the first choice, and that is what is
trumbling to me.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Okay, that is a major problem. Where LA is not
the first choice for these production companies. That's a major
major blow.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
They're part of a.
Speaker 13 (17:40):
Local course calling for continuing state and new federal tax
incentives that could help. They've also hosted brainstorming sessions like
this one last weekend for grips, camera operators and other
struggling workers.
Speaker 14 (17:53):
You may not be working for money right now, but
you love what you do. Let's get together and make films,
and let's put it on our own YouTube channel, which
is called random Nazarie.
Speaker 13 (18:01):
She says, Hollywood history.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Okay, what's her YouTube channel?
Speaker 14 (18:04):
She's called random Nazarie.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Random Menagerie, Random Nazarie. M. I would have gone with
a simpler one, but what the hell random Nazarie.
Speaker 13 (18:14):
She says Hollywood has survived big challenges.
Speaker 14 (18:16):
Before, everything from going from analog to HW death was
a change. When you had cable television, that was a
big change.
Speaker 15 (18:24):
We're moving to a lot more CGI or people aren't
using tactile stuff, and as an actor, that's kind of
really scary.
Speaker 13 (18:32):
She wants to support the next generation of filmmakers like
Gracie Went who's using the Research Library to dress a
set is Compton in the sixties. I love that we
are sitting at this table, Pam spoke to us, perched
behind a well known piece of Hollywood history. She says,
there's a legacy here to preserve and protect.
Speaker 14 (18:51):
It means so much to me to have a prop
from It's a Wonderful Life in My Small Business.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Because, oh, that's got to be cool to have a
prop from It's a wonderful a movie that everybody listening
right now has seen probably a thousand times.
Speaker 14 (19:04):
To have a prop from It's a Wonderful Life in
My Small Business because it really is such a great film,
talking about the powers of communities to support each other,
to keep.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Small business rolling.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Sad time, sad time for Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Let's do a.
Speaker 3 (19:26):

but we can all participate.

vendor fraud, all the things that sting Walmart self checkout?

a United States.

Speaker 9 (22:31):
I got it on Saturday?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
What did that run you.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Twenty five?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Really? Why did you get a haircut? Where are you going?
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Because I needed one? But I am going to party
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Wow, you don't do it yourself anymore?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Floby, No, all right.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
The actual retail number Walmart loses an estimated six point
five billion dollars a year just to inventory shrinkage. Historically,
the retail giant benchmark it's annual loss at three billion,
which represented about one percent of the US revenue. However,
industry reports indicate that the number at self checkout options
(23:17):
and organized retail crime, those losses have climbed as high
as six point five billion dollars a year six point five.
So the winner is at a No, Krozier's one point
five away, Adam is one two point four. So Krozier
(23:43):
wins at eight billion? Man, Man, what I mean? That
is an unbelievable amount of money. But I see it
all the time. You know, when I go to Walmart,
I see it. If I go to Walmart, you know,
thirty forty times a year I see somebody stealing maybe
ten I see it maybe ten times, about twenty five
(24:03):
percent time I go, I've never seen that stuff. Either
cops are there, you know, talking to somebody, or I
see a guy, you know, slide through with a cart
and he's gone, and you know that stuff is now
his and Walmart loses. But let's see, Okay, six point
five billion, that's million, that's billion. Divide it by three
hundred and sixty five, so that's seventeen million dollars a day.
(24:27):
Seventeen million dollars every day products that walk out of
Walmart without being purchased.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
That's incredible. That really is unbelievable. And divide that by fifty.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
So every state is three hundred and sixty five thousand
dollars a day, and some states are more, some states
are less. But that is a hell of a lot
of money. All Right, the Baseball All Star Game is over.
And it wasn't that great. It was for nothing, and
(25:00):
there was no real excitement in it. But I've got
a couple of ways they could spruce that up. They
can get the All Star Game can be much much
more exciting, and we come back. I will tell you
what those ways are. Maybe I will Maybe you have
an idea as well. But I've got one, two, three, four.
I've got four ideas that can help the All Star break.
(25:21):
You know, like the NBA change their All Star break
to make it more interesting. The NHL did the same thing.
Nobody ever watches the football All Star Game, you know,
the Pro Bowl. It comes in a weird time. You know,
all the good players are going to the Super Bowl.
They're not going to the Pro Bowl, and so it's
a weird experience going to Hawaii to watch this thing
(25:43):
and nobody cares about it.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
So nobody plays at full speed.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
But like a flag football.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Now, yeah, it's like it's why do it?
Speaker 9 (25:51):
You know?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Why put all those people in the seats have to
watch that?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So I got four new ways and we'll come back.
I will tell you what they are. And I like
one of them. I think it is great.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
One of them I would watch in a heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Tomorrow after six o'clock, we're doing a deep dive on
daylight Saving Time. It's not daylight Savings time, it's daylight
Saving time. And the House is voted to pass it
where it's going to be permanent, but will California go
along with it? And I will have that answer for
(26:31):
you tomorrow. We'll talk about that tomorrow. So you got
to come back. Need to come back tomorrow because that
information is nowhere except for on my desk, so you're
not going to get it anywhere else. Don't look it up.
It's not online, it's not on Google, it's not in
the La Times or is it.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
All right, the World the All Star Game, Major League
Baseball All Star Game is over American League one for nothing.
I radically uninteresting game, and they've got to make some changes.
So here's my four suggestions to make it more interesting.
One is have the team that won the World Series
(27:14):
last year. In this case it'd be the Dodgers take
on the rest of baseball to go to Philadelphia and
there'll be the Dodgers versus everybody else in baseball. I
think that would sell. I think people would show up
to see them. A lot of people hate the Dodgers,
and the people that don't hate the Dodgers love the Dodgers,
and so that would be a that'd be a spectacle.
(27:36):
I think people would look at them. Another one, the
College versus pros. Take college athletes, you know, the up
and comers, people have been recently drafted, haven't played a
game in the major leagues, and let the college kids
give them some exposure and play the pros. I think
people would watch that as well, especially all the parents
(27:59):
of anybody who has a kid playing college baseball, and
it's a winner. Another one is have other athletes participate
where you know, maybe Michael Jordan, Lebron James, people that
don't play baseball have them, you know, because there are
a lot of athletes that have gone into football or
(28:21):
track or soccer, hockey, basketball and they don't play baseball,
but they were great at baseball in high school and college.
That's another one. You know, maybe I'll throw some celebrities
in that one. Okay, those are three. Here is the winner.
This would be would get a forty share, maybe a
(28:45):
fifty share. This next idea and they'll never do it,
but man, is this one good. It's the major league
wives versus is the major league ex girlfriends?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
How great would that game be?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
The angry ex girlfriends who got blown off by these athletes.
They're angry as f and a lot of them are
angry at the wives because they didn't get the nod
at the end, they didn't get the ring. That would
be a great game, the ex girlfriends versus the current wives.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Oh, fifty share.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Fox would put that on and they get fifty million
people to watch that. Fifty maybe sixty million people. I
would watch every single second of that. And you can
go with the background as well, you know you can. Hey,
this is a you know, the girlfriend of I don't know,
(29:54):
you know, pick an athlete who's currently playing baseball, Shoehyotani
or I don't know, Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
You know, they's the date.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
In high school and now she's playing baseball against his
current wife. That is a great idea. I don't think
there's a better idea than that. It has everything, everything
you want, but they'll never do it. All right, let's
talk about squatters and coyotes. Coyotes are big now in
West Los Angeles. This is an area where you know,
(30:28):
they've never existed, they've never been a problem, and now
they're coming into Santa Monica, the San Vicente area, and
there's a lot of coyotes in that area. Because these
coyotes they can't find enough food in the hills. After
the fires and Pacific Palisades and Malibu. There's just not
enough food out there, and so they have to come into,
(30:49):
you know, different neighborhoods and look for dogs and cats.
That's what they eat. They're gonna eat your dogs and
your cats. Don't eat the dogs, don't eat the cats.
Don't eat the pets. I think Donald Trump warned us
of this. They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats,
They're eating the pets of the people that lived there.
But this case, it's coyotes. Find out what's going on
(31:12):
here in West LA.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Every neighbor we spoke to tonight says they've seen a
coyote roaming around in this neighborhood. One resident told me
that one morning he woke up and found a piece
of a cat in his yard.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Oh No.
Speaker 15 (31:24):
And a neighbor's security footage just showing us just how
close these predators are getting to people's homes. Shocking video
from a neighbor's camera shows a pack of coyotes moving
through a West Los Angeles neighborhood. One coyote emerges from
between two homes. Seconds later, several more follow Then the
video takes a disturbing turn. It appears to show a
(31:45):
coyote attacking and killing a cat. A short time later,
a dog in its owner walk right past the same spot.
They appear to be unaware the coyotes had been there
just moments earlier. About a half hour later, this same
camera captures a coyote returning, grabbing the cat in its
mouth and carrying it away.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Oh that's the worst, you know, you see your beautiful
pet taken off by a coyote, your dog, or your cats.
Speaker 13 (32:12):
And I hate to hear about cats, or dogs, or
little dogs or little cats.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
Just hurts.
Speaker 15 (32:16):
Gail Barnum says the video is disturbing but not surprising.
She tells US coyotes have become a familiar site in
the neighborhood. Several other residents say they've been seeing the
wild animals roaming the area more often.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
And these coyotes in West La they're getting down to
Pico Olympic, down near the ten Freeway. They're not just
in the hills anymore, up near Bundy Bundy or Sunset.
They're really exploring.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
So on the other night right over there.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
The shortage of water and the weather change and the fires,
that's all pushing them into areas of human habitation, and
they don't want to be here anymore than we want
them here.
Speaker 15 (32:52):
Neighbors say the recent coyote sidings have them worried about
their pets. Others are concerned about young children being outside.
The California Department of Fishing Wildlife says on their website
the best way to prevent conflicts with coyotes is to
secure your garbage, keep pets on a leash, and don't
leave small animals outside unattended.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
That's a good one. That last one.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Please don't leave your small dog or cat in the
backyard thinking you have a fence that the coyotes can't
get over. They're great athletes. They can hop a six
foot fence like it's nothing.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
They don't belong here, and how do we get rid
of them?
Speaker 15 (33:28):
As coyote signings continue, residents say they're hoping this video
serves as a wake up call.
Speaker 11 (33:34):
I do hope that the city and the state are
doing what they can to find them and then humanly
send them to places where they can just live their
lives far away from us.
Speaker 15 (33:43):
And wildlife experts say coyotes are mostly.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
It's got a pipe dream, Huh.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
This guy is I don't know what state he lives in,
but he thinks that the state of California is going
to do one thing right, that they're going to come down,
grab the coyotes and relocate them.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
He's got to be kidding.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
Send them to places where they can just live their lives.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yeah, good luck, far away from months. Yeah, okay, Well,
what is the state done so beautifully that you think
they can tackle that problems?
Speaker 15 (34:09):
And wildlife experts say coyotes are most active around dawn
and dusk. Now, if you do run into a coyote,
experts say, it's important that you make a lot of noise,
try to appear bigger than what you are if it's
waving your arms around. But most importantly, do not run
and back away slowly if you can.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, all right, well there you go. All right, So
that is one coyote story. And then we have coyote squatters.
Maybe we'll save this on for either later or tomorrow.
But an elderly Southern California couple terrorized by a pack
of coyotes. They're everywhere.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
This is KFI.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
This has been The Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. There's live join us on KFI AM six
forty week nine six to ten pm Monday through Friday.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Dinged Wong with this app
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Appy.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Remember I told you about that guy the sports not
His name is Mike Didno Da d Dno, and that's
the only guy I've ever recommended to as a sports
YouTube guy. He's great, aggressive, lot of language, a lot
(00:29):
of yelling, but it's very, very entertaining. So when we
like a week and a half ago, I said, hey,
this guy Mike Di Dino Dad So Dad and then
Dino like the dog in the Flintstones, Di Dino Da
d d I n O. And he was at eighty
one thousand subscribers. Now he's up to one hundred and
(00:51):
seventeen thousand, So I don't know if they've had anything
to do with it mentioning him on the show. Maybe
it helped, Maybe he got a couple I don't know,
but he's up to one hundred and seventeen thousand. This
guy gets, you know, five to ten thousand, twenty thousand
more subscribers a week, and he's going to have a
million before you know it.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And he is sensational.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I can't wait for the newest the Dino videos to
come out, and he puts out one or two a day,
you know. Sometimes he skips a day, you know. But
they're very entertaining. I can't play any of them on
the air because of the language, but they're they're really good,
especially if you're a Mets fan and you're pulling your
(01:36):
hair out with what's going on with this team. You know,
the second highest payroll in baseball, and what are the
sixteen games out of first place? Let me let me
look up the standings and see where your New York
Mets are National League, and your New York Mets are
in last place at all Star break, dead last in
(01:59):
the National League East. They're sixteen games out of first place,
sixteen games. They've only won twenty one games at home
all season, twenty one games at home, and they've played
close to ninety well, i'll tell you how many they played.
They played ninety seven games. After ninety seven games, they've
(02:23):
won twenty one at home and nineteen on the road,
and they stink. They've got great players, but there's no chemistry.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
There at all.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
So this guy bangs, Mike Dedino bangs. I think it's
his favorite team, the Mets, and he hits them really,
really hard.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
They're winning.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
They're winning forty one percent of their games. The only
team in the National League that's worse than the Mets
are Sharon Bellio's Colorado Rockies. They win thirty nine percent
of their games. Are twenty two and a half games
behind the Dodgers. Twenty two and a half games. That's
(03:05):
a lot. It's almost impossible to catch up. They're not
going to do it this year. I don't think the
Mets will either. It'll be a miracle if the Mets
make the playoff playoffs, an absolute miracle. But if you're
like me where you know you're promised a great team
and then it goes in the toilet, you know what
that's like As a sports fan, you know, whether you're
(03:28):
a Blackhawks fan or Cubs or you know, maybe you're
a San Francisco Giants fan, and that's again not working
out for you. This year, the Giants are nineteen and
a half games behind the Dodgers. And the Giants every
year try to win the World Series. You know, they're
always in contention. They're always trying to attract great players.
(03:51):
It's a great ballpark they play in, and they're nineteen
and a half games back, they've only won twenty two
at home and nineteen on the road. Nineteen games out,
a ninety six on the road. Dodgers sixty one and
thirty six, thirty one game home wins, thirty away wins.
The only team that has in the only team in
(04:13):
the thirty thirty club. There's no other team in baseball
that has thirty wins at home and thirty wins on
the road, and there's none even close, and the closest
one is the Rays with thirty five and twenty one.
So great year for the Dodgers, horrible year for the Mets.
But it does make Mike Di Dino's YouTube awfully interesting
(04:37):
because if you hate the Mets like I do, or
you love the Mets, it's very entertaining. The last name
d A d DN Mike the Dino. Check it out.
He's not an advertiser. We're not getting any benefits from this.
I'm just turning on to a really entertaining guy, and
I think that you'll be checking in with it every
day to see what the newest videos are because he's
(05:00):
like us, you know, he's not He's a sports fan
and he gets crazy when his team is nineteen and
a half games back when they have the second highest
payroll in baseball. This is a complete collapse of the
New York Mets. This might hurt him for the next
ten years, because why would you go play for the
Mets if they have all those great players. There's really
(05:22):
no more room in the you know, if they do
a hard salary cap with the strike that's imminent for
next year, this might hurt the Mets for the next
ten years. And so if you're a Mets fan, you
might be looking at a long period before they get
back to you know where you want them in contention
(05:43):
every year in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
All right, let's talk it Brown.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Do that?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh, how about this one? This is interesting ten maxing.
How much is too much sun? You know, this is
sun season. If you have a daughter or wife that
likes to go get tan guys do it. Guys are
doing it now too. But how much is too much sun?
And tanning with sunblock, you know, baby oil, all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You got to be aware of this.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
These young ladies are ignoring decades of warnings about sunbathing.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
In fact, they're obsessed with tanning.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
I personally feel my most confident in my best self
when I'm tan, I feel like I look skinnier, I
look prettier.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Brionna Linderman and her friends are part of a growing
number of teenagers were tan maxing.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, that's they're not alone. Almost all girls. Guys can
take it to leave it, but almost all girls, especially
teenagers you know, thirteen to nineteen, even in their early twenties,
they are all very curious about how far they can
go with their tan. They all, all of them think
(06:53):
they look better with a tan, and they're right.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
By the way.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Tan maxing is tanning for as long as possibook as
there you go.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
That's what tan maxing is. Another term we've got to learn.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
You know my mantra in life?
Speaker 9 (07:05):
Right?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
What is it?
Speaker 8 (07:07):
If you can't tone it tan it?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Do you do anything on your face? Do you have
any lifts or or talks or boatoks or anything?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Who?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh you don't? Oh wow, because some people go to
Mexico to do that. Gee, I wonder who do you have?
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Anybody?
Speaker 9 (07:26):
You know? Anybody does that? I do?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
I'm actually going this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Wait you're going?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Oh I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I thought you had friends that did that.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Well, we all do it?
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I say, and what do you go to Mexico for.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
You know, for some taco, some little TLC.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
All right, okay, all right, I got it. I got
you sort of want to talk about it, but you
really don't.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I get I get it. I totally get it, buddy.
All right, Tan, have you heard that term before? Tan maxing?
Speaker 8 (07:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (07:51):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Also, how long have you known that term since the
early two thousands?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Really?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yes, God almighty, don't want to heard that term first?
When about ten minutes ago?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Tan maxic tan max thing is tanning for as long
as pall school, as any times for you've.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Never heard that term before today.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
The strange thing is that these ladies say they spend
hours a day baking in the sun when the UV
rays are the strongest.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Oh okay, here's your warning on that. You're gonna look
great now, and you're gonna look really horrible when you
get older. Lots and lots of different tones in the skin,
brights hots, reds, brown spots. It's gonna be a radical
(08:38):
painting when you get older. Paint by numbers are gonna
need a lot of numbers.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
And often they don't wear any sunscreen at all.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Oh, can you remember Krozier.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
You probably remember this because you're a little older than
most of the other people on this program. But do
you remember when when we were going through school and
the women used to go, mostly the girls, they'd go
to the beach or go down to the pool. They
used to put baby oh yeah, yeah, to increase the machine. Yeah,
to increase the tan and the sun on your skin.
And in the eighties we put lemon juice on our hair.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Yeah, that's right, I see like in movies, like eighties
inspired movies, like the women on the beach with like
foil like oh yeah, reflecting on their face like crazy.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Yeah, she's doing the solar tan. Did you get into that?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (09:22):
Absolutely? That band issolet gel stuff that used to put
on Oh my gosh, that was the best. But I
was going to say that my uncle, one of my
uncles was a lifeguard for you know, La City and
or La County or whoever has the lifeguards, and they
had this little concoction for tanning. It was baby oil
(09:43):
and iodine.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Wow is that?
Speaker 10 (09:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yeah, Crosier, lemon for your hair. I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Lemon juice for what? Oh it makes it lighter, makes
it blonde. Bleach, bleaches it out highlights. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, so we do it on the side, do it
on top, Oh yeah, make everybody's hair blonde.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I'm gonna try that, are you It'll work? It definitely works.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
There was there was a product I don't think it's
still out there called sun In. They basically did the
same thing. But if you didn't sunny and just put
the lemon juice.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
In there, got it?
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Curating it out angel.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You probably remember that that slogan band aid sole for
the central paces.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
That's right, I don't know, Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Santrope, which is I believe the southern part of France
on the Mediterranean. If I'm correct, I think that's where
Sentrope is.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I don't know. I don't I think that's where it is.
All right, dig dog with it? All right? Back to
tan maxing.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
According to dermatologists, all that time in the sun can
have long term consequences I told you, and can lead
to skin cancer and premature aging.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
You hear that? Is that worth it?
Speaker 7 (10:44):
And can lead to skin cancer and premature.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Aging, very premature aging, like like in your forties.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Doctors say there's nothing healthy about a so called healthy tan.
A tan is actually your skin's response to DNA damage
caused by the sun. We arranged for Brianna and Jordan
Camilli to be checked out at the Ablon Skin Institute
in Manhattan Beach, California, where doctor Glennis Avlon conducted a
comprehensive exam.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Okay, you're gonna go ahead and put your chin right here.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Oh no, all right, well you're warned. You're worn. We're
live on KF.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I think the All Star Game is over and the
American League. Let's see here, let's see All Stars score.
So if you don't want to hear it, shut the
radio off for nothing. American League and it's over. National
League scored zero runs. We're live on KFI. More nouth Crush.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Here's a guy who's had a bad run of luck.
He's in a wheelchair buzzing around Oklahoma and somebody throws
a Molotov cocktail at him. So he thought, Okay, life
has dealt me a crazy hand here. I'm going to
be in the wheelchair for the rest of my life.
(12:04):
I hope that's it. And then bang, somebody throws a
Molotov cocktail at the guy in the wheelchair. What's going
on with Oklahoma? Going on with this guy? Think dog
with this guy?
Speaker 12 (12:18):
A scary incident on the streets of Oklahoma City when
police say a man throw a molotov cocktail at another
man in a wheelchair in broad daylight. Cops say it
actually happened close to police headquarters.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Wow, she in a wheelchair close to police headquarters.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You're safe. Nothing's gonna happen to you. Not so fast.
Speaker 12 (12:40):
Surveillance video shows the victim cross the intersection in his wheelchair. Meanwhile,
this suspect seemingly just walks past him, crossing another street.
When the suspect reaches the other side of the street,
he doesn't about face and confronts the man in the wheelchair.
Moments later, he's lighting the cocktail and get at the wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
What's going on with this guy?
Speaker 12 (13:03):
Flame's breaking out on the road. Witnesses, including passing police officers,
rush to help. They detained the suspect while another passer
by helped the victim. Officials say he only had minor injuries,
but they credit the community and first responders for not
letting this situation go any further.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yeah, the cops originally thought that the Molotov cocktail blew
his legs off, and the guy in the chair said, no,
it's why.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
I'm in the chair.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
So, but what a bad day for that dude. He's
in Oklahoma in the summer, it's one hundred and forty
degrees every day, wheelchair bound crossing the street and Mack
gets hit with You know, Molotov cocktails has been around
hundreds of years.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Let's see it.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
That'd be interesting, malltve cocktails sale.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
They've been around how many years?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Let's see the origin of a Molotov. Molotov cocktail goes
back eighty seven years, nineteen thirty nine, first one and
the last one.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Oklahoma. At the guy in the wheelchair, What a day
for that man? All right?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Prop shops in Los Angeles being affected by the slowdown
in production, a lot of them are closing up shop.
What happens to the props, What happens to the shop?
What happens to the employees, the owner? What's going on?
Speaker 13 (14:38):
Pam and Jim el ate creep magic.
Speaker 14 (14:40):
So these were used on Gleet Anchorman. You'll see these
on Anchorman, and we made one of these for Spielberg's Lincoln,
and he liked it so much he said, can you
make eighteen of them?
Speaker 13 (14:50):
Their history for Higher prop shop helps Hollywood transport us.
Speaker 14 (14:54):
We have nuclear weapons at history for Higher.
Speaker 13 (14:56):
Even part of blockbusters like Oppenheimer and l La Land.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
Okay, you are sitting on Ryan Gosling's piano stool from
Lalla Land.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Okay, I like this lady that owns this place.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
She still has a spirit even though her business is,
you know, suffering.
Speaker 13 (15:14):
What's her name, Pam and jim el Ya.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Pam and jim ell Ya. This Pam is beautiful. She's
got a great spirit. It's not a mystery why she
was in the prop business for so long and got
along well with everybody. She has what it takes to
be in Hollywood. You know that upbeat positive. You want
to get your props from her because she's great. And
(15:38):
imagine her husband's the same way. And even with you know,
great shop, great props, great personality, great service, they still
can't operate, just not enough business.
Speaker 14 (15:48):
Have a seat. Okay, you are sitting on Ryan Gosling's
piano stool from Lalla Land. Really, this is his beloved
piano stool.
Speaker 13 (15:56):
It all started forty years ago when the young couple
started running props from their apartment. They began amassing everything
from typewriters to war relics to suitcases.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Imagine what that apartment looks like before they you know,
Jesus Christ, wait a bite, you're gonna do what? We're
going to run a prop shop out of our apartment
on Kester and Sherman Way, right. You know a lot
of people call those hoarders.
Speaker 13 (16:23):
And what they've collected is now stacked up and packed
into a thirty three thousand square foot warehouse.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Okay, so they've expanded the apartment thirty three thousand square
feet of props.
Speaker 13 (16:35):
But in recent years, independent entertainment businesses like theirs have
suffered continued blows. The impacts of COVID industry strikes, new technologies,
and inflated overhead costs have forced many of their longtime
collaborators to scale back or shut down.
Speaker 14 (16:52):
There were two of them that decided to close their
doors last week.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
That it just two two in one week, two big
prop shops in one week, or shut down.
Speaker 14 (17:02):
There were two of them that decided to close their
duellis last week that it just kicked the wind out
of my sales.
Speaker 13 (17:08):
The couple used to have twenty employees. Now they run
on a staff of eight. Pam says, well, they've always
shipped some props out of state or overseas. More and
more productions are seeking cheaper locations elsewhere.
Speaker 14 (17:20):
What we hadn't seen before was not being the first
place that people look at to work. So we are
no longer the first choice, and that is what is
trumbling to me.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Okay, that is a major problem. Where LA is not
the first choice for these production companies. That's a major
major blow.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
They're part of a.
Speaker 13 (17:40):
Local course calling for continuing state and new federal tax
incentives that could help. They've also hosted brainstorming sessions like
this one last weekend for grips, camera operators and other
struggling workers.
Speaker 14 (17:53):
You may not be working for money right now, but
you love what you do. Let's get together and make films,
and let's put it on our own YouTube channel, which
is called random Nazarie.
Speaker 13 (18:01):
She says, Hollywood history.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Okay, what's her YouTube channel?
Speaker 14 (18:04):
She's called random Nazarie.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Random Menagerie, Random Nazarie. M. I would have gone with
a simpler one, but what the hell random Nazarie.
Speaker 13 (18:14):
She says Hollywood has survived big challenges.
Speaker 14 (18:16):
Before, everything from going from analog to HW death was
a change. When you had cable television, that was a
big change.
Speaker 15 (18:24):
We're moving to a lot more CGI or people aren't
using tactile stuff, and as an actor, that's kind of
really scary.
Speaker 13 (18:32):
She wants to support the next generation of filmmakers like
Gracie Went who's using the Research Library to dress a
set is Compton in the sixties. I love that we
are sitting at this table, Pam spoke to us, perched
behind a well known piece of Hollywood history. She says,
there's a legacy here to preserve and protect.
Speaker 14 (18:51):
It means so much to me to have a prop
from It's a Wonderful Life in My Small Business.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Because, oh, that's got to be cool to have a
prop from It's a wonderful a movie that everybody listening
right now has seen probably a thousand times.
Speaker 14 (19:04):
To have a prop from It's a Wonderful Life in
My Small Business because it really is such a great film,
talking about the powers of communities to support each other,
to keep.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Small business rolling.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Sad time, sad time for Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Let's do a.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Whip around that you can participate in, you know, by
just yelling in the car. I guess, I don't know,
but we can all participate.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Here and here we go. What is the high end.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
There's an estimate of what Walmart loses every year to shoplifting.
There's a low end and a high end. What's the
high end number for shoplifting? Organized crime, employee theft, administrative errors,
vendor fraud, all the things that sting Walmart self checkout?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I don't know all that stuff. So there's two numbers.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
What's the high end number on dollars that have left
the building without or products that have left the building
without being paid for. Let's go with the Let's start
with the angel still.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Where's she going?
Speaker 10 (20:33):
Yeah, I'm still here.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Angel Martine. What's the high end number.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
The annual amount of dollars Walmart loses because of theft?
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Is this global? Are they only in the United States
or global?
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I don't okay, I don't know, but this is just
a United States.
Speaker 10 (20:52):
Okay, let's go with one billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
One million dollars?
Speaker 9 (21:00):
All right?
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Crouch.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
How much is Walmart lose every year? Eight billion? Eight billion? Alright,
let's say, Richie, Well.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
I was gonna say five hundred thousand, but because you
guys are sticking to the billions, I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Say four bill four billion?
Speaker 9 (21:21):
Are at.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Let's see, I'm gonna go, okay, can I do this
kind of go?
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Four point one billion?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah? By the way, are you aren't you shocked that
I remember your name? I can't believe it.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
He's blushing. I'm not good. But names not your fault mine. Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
The actual retail number of how much money Walmart lose?
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Did Steph Fush go?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I'm sorry, Steph Fush, buddy, I didn't mean to mister.
Where is he in there?
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (21:57):
There he is.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I didn't see him. The high'd still right, yep, high
end number of.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Nine hundred million?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Oh my god, they make a trillion.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
In a year.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
No, nine hundred million, he said, Okay, so it's short
of a billion, right, I'm all right, step I didn't
see you on the camera.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
There. I didn't camera. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Look at that pretty haircut. Yeah, where'd you get your
when'd you get a haircut?
Speaker 9 (22:26):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (22:27):
When did you get your haircut?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (22:31):
I got it on Saturday?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
What did that run you.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Twenty five?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Really? Why did you get a haircut? Where are you going?
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Because I needed one? But I am going to party
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Wow, you don't do it yourself anymore?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Floby, No, all right.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
The actual retail number Walmart loses an estimated six point
five billion dollars a year just to inventory shrinkage. Historically,
the retail giant benchmark it's annual loss at three billion,
which represented about one percent of the US revenue. However,
industry reports indicate that the number at self checkout options
(23:17):
and organized retail crime, those losses have climbed as high
as six point five billion dollars a year six point five.
So the winner is at a No, Krozier's one point
five away, Adam is one two point four. So Krozier
(23:43):
wins at eight billion? Man, Man, what I mean? That
is an unbelievable amount of money. But I see it
all the time. You know, when I go to Walmart,
I see it. If I go to Walmart, you know,
thirty forty times a year I see somebody stealing maybe
ten I see it maybe ten times, about twenty five
(24:03):
percent time I go, I've never seen that stuff. Either
cops are there, you know, talking to somebody, or I
see a guy, you know, slide through with a cart
and he's gone, and you know that stuff is now
his and Walmart loses. But let's see, Okay, six point
five billion, that's million, that's billion. Divide it by three
hundred and sixty five, so that's seventeen million dollars a day.
(24:27):
Seventeen million dollars every day products that walk out of
Walmart without being purchased.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
That's incredible. That really is unbelievable. And divide that by fifty.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
So every state is three hundred and sixty five thousand
dollars a day, and some states are more, some states
are less. But that is a hell of a lot
of money. All Right, the Baseball All Star Game is over.
And it wasn't that great. It was for nothing, and
(25:00):
there was no real excitement in it. But I've got
a couple of ways they could spruce that up. They
can get the All Star Game can be much much
more exciting, and we come back. I will tell you
what those ways are. Maybe I will Maybe you have
an idea as well. But I've got one, two, three, four.
I've got four ideas that can help the All Star break.
(25:21):
You know, like the NBA change their All Star break
to make it more interesting. The NHL did the same thing.
Nobody ever watches the football All Star Game, you know,
the Pro Bowl. It comes in a weird time. You know,
all the good players are going to the Super Bowl.
They're not going to the Pro Bowl, and so it's
a weird experience going to Hawaii to watch this thing
(25:43):
and nobody cares about it.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
So nobody plays at full speed.
Speaker 9 (25:46):
But like a flag football.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Now, yeah, it's like it's why do it?
Speaker 9 (25:51):
You know?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Why put all those people in the seats have to
watch that?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So I got four new ways and we'll come back.
I will tell you what they are. And I like
one of them. I think it is great.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
One of them I would watch in a heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Tomorrow after six o'clock, we're doing a deep dive on
daylight Saving Time. It's not daylight Savings time, it's daylight
Saving time. And the House is voted to pass it
where it's going to be permanent, but will California go
along with it? And I will have that answer for
(26:31):
you tomorrow. We'll talk about that tomorrow. So you got
to come back. Need to come back tomorrow because that
information is nowhere except for on my desk, so you're
not going to get it anywhere else. Don't look it up.
It's not online, it's not on Google, it's not in
the La Times or is it.
Speaker 9 (26:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
All right, the World the All Star Game, Major League
Baseball All Star Game is over American League one for nothing.
I radically uninteresting game, and they've got to make some changes.
So here's my four suggestions to make it more interesting.
One is have the team that won the World Series
(27:14):
last year. In this case it'd be the Dodgers take
on the rest of baseball to go to Philadelphia and
there'll be the Dodgers versus everybody else in baseball. I
think that would sell. I think people would show up
to see them. A lot of people hate the Dodgers,
and the people that don't hate the Dodgers love the Dodgers,
and so that would be a that'd be a spectacle.
(27:36):
I think people would look at them. Another one, the
College versus pros. Take college athletes, you know, the up
and comers, people have been recently drafted, haven't played a
game in the major leagues, and let the college kids
give them some exposure and play the pros. I think
people would watch that as well, especially all the parents
(27:59):
of anybody who has a kid playing college baseball, and
it's a winner. Another one is have other athletes participate
where you know, maybe Michael Jordan, Lebron James, people that
don't play baseball have them, you know, because there are
a lot of athletes that have gone into football or
(28:21):
track or soccer, hockey, basketball and they don't play baseball,
but they were great at baseball in high school and college.
That's another one. You know, maybe I'll throw some celebrities
in that one. Okay, those are three. Here is the winner.
This would be would get a forty share, maybe a
(28:45):
fifty share. This next idea and they'll never do it,
but man, is this one good. It's the major league
wives versus is the major league ex girlfriends?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
How great would that game be?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
The angry ex girlfriends who got blown off by these athletes.
They're angry as f and a lot of them are
angry at the wives because they didn't get the nod
at the end, they didn't get the ring. That would
be a great game, the ex girlfriends versus the current wives.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Oh, fifty share.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Fox would put that on and they get fifty million
people to watch that. Fifty maybe sixty million people. I
would watch every single second of that. And you can
go with the background as well, you know you can. Hey,
this is a you know, the girlfriend of I don't know,
(29:54):
you know, pick an athlete who's currently playing baseball, Shoehyotani
or I don't know, Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
You know, they's the date.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
In high school and now she's playing baseball against his
current wife. That is a great idea. I don't think
there's a better idea than that. It has everything, everything
you want, but they'll never do it. All right, let's
talk about squatters and coyotes. Coyotes are big now in
West Los Angeles. This is an area where you know,
(30:28):
they've never existed, they've never been a problem, and now
they're coming into Santa Monica, the San Vicente area, and
there's a lot of coyotes in that area. Because these
coyotes they can't find enough food in the hills. After
the fires and Pacific Palisades and Malibu. There's just not
enough food out there, and so they have to come into,
(30:49):
you know, different neighborhoods and look for dogs and cats.
That's what they eat. They're gonna eat your dogs and
your cats. Don't eat the dogs, don't eat the cats.
Don't eat the pets. I think Donald Trump warned us
of this. They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats,
They're eating the pets of the people that lived there.
But this case, it's coyotes. Find out what's going on
(31:12):
here in West LA.
Speaker 15 (31:13):
Every neighbor we spoke to tonight says they've seen a
coyote roaming around in this neighborhood. One resident told me
that one morning he woke up and found a piece
of a cat in his yard.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Oh No.
Speaker 15 (31:24):
And a neighbor's security footage just showing us just how
close these predators are getting to people's homes. Shocking video
from a neighbor's camera shows a pack of coyotes moving
through a West Los Angeles neighborhood. One coyote emerges from
between two homes. Seconds later, several more follow Then the
video takes a disturbing turn. It appears to show a
(31:45):
coyote attacking and killing a cat. A short time later,
a dog in its owner walk right past the same spot.
They appear to be unaware the coyotes had been there
just moments earlier. About a half hour later, this same
camera captures a coyote returning, grabbing the cat in its
mouth and carrying it away.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Oh that's the worst, you know, you see your beautiful
pet taken off by a coyote, your dog, or your cats.
Speaker 13 (32:12):
And I hate to hear about cats, or dogs, or
little dogs or little cats.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
Just hurts.
Speaker 15 (32:16):
Gail Barnum says the video is disturbing but not surprising.
She tells US coyotes have become a familiar site in
the neighborhood. Several other residents say they've been seeing the
wild animals roaming the area more often.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
And these coyotes in West La they're getting down to
Pico Olympic, down near the ten Freeway. They're not just
in the hills anymore, up near Bundy Bundy or Sunset.
They're really exploring.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
So on the other night right over there.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
The shortage of water and the weather change and the fires,
that's all pushing them into areas of human habitation, and
they don't want to be here anymore than we want
them here.
Speaker 15 (32:52):
Neighbors say the recent coyote sidings have them worried about
their pets. Others are concerned about young children being outside.
The California Department of Fishing Wildlife says on their website
the best way to prevent conflicts with coyotes is to
secure your garbage, keep pets on a leash, and don't
leave small animals outside unattended.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
That's a good one. That last one.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Please don't leave your small dog or cat in the
backyard thinking you have a fence that the coyotes can't
get over. They're great athletes. They can hop a six
foot fence like it's nothing.
Speaker 6 (33:24):
They don't belong here, and how do we get rid
of them?
Speaker 15 (33:28):
As coyote signings continue, residents say they're hoping this video
serves as a wake up call.
Speaker 11 (33:34):
I do hope that the city and the state are
doing what they can to find them and then humanly
send them to places where they can just live their
lives far away from us.
Speaker 15 (33:43):
And wildlife experts say coyotes are mostly.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
It's got a pipe dream, Huh.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
This guy is I don't know what state he lives in,
but he thinks that the state of California is going
to do one thing right, that they're going to come down,
grab the coyotes and relocate them.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
He's got to be kidding.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
Send them to places where they can just live their lives.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yeah, good luck, far away from months. Yeah, okay, Well,
what is the state done so beautifully that you think
they can tackle that problems?
Speaker 15 (34:09):
And wildlife experts say coyotes are most active around dawn
and dusk. Now, if you do run into a coyote,
experts say, it's important that you make a lot of noise,
try to appear bigger than what you are if it's
waving your arms around. But most importantly, do not run
and back away slowly if you can.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, all right, well there you go. All right, So
that is one coyote story. And then we have coyote squatters.
Maybe we'll save this on for either later or tomorrow.
But an elderly Southern California couple terrorized by a pack
of coyotes. They're everywhere.
