Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM sixty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI AM sixty.
It is the Conway Show, all right. The Los Angeles
Dodgers are currently playing in Philadelphia. But you don't have
to listen to every single pitch. You're you're not into it.
(00:22):
You're not just you know, you're into the final score.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You look at me.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So we'll keep you updated on the score. And it
could be a really horrible weekend for Philadelphia. Philadelphia lost
to the Dodgers on Saturday, and then the Eagles lost
to Denver. The undefeated Eagles lost to Denver at home
on Sunday. And the Broncos are like two good players
and like forty eight homeless guys on that team, and
(00:47):
they lost and they beat you know, on a controversial play.
But never unless they beat the Eagles. And now, if
the Dodgers win today, that's good morning, good afternoon, and
good night for Philadelphia. I've been there before as a
Kings fan, as a Rams fan, I know what that
feels like.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's horrible. It's the worst, it's the absolute worst. All right.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
We'll keep you updated on the score, but right now
Alex Stone, as well as from ABC News, how you.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Bobb ding dong?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Hey, did you hear the Burbank Airport no controllers, not
closing it, but no controllers. In ten minutes, they're gonna
run it out of San Diego.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving out of an airport that
doesn't have control.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, it is, you know.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Sean Duffy said today just what we talked about last week,
where the concern was as this government shutdown drags on,
that air traffic controllers and TSA are going to begin
calling out sick and that they've got that now with
air traffic control already, and so tonight until I believe
five am, they have no staffing for the tower at
Burbank Airport, but they're gonna they're gonna figure it out.
(01:49):
They say that hopefully it'll have minimal impact, but they're
already warning pilots of delays getting into Burbank and out
of Burbank because they're gonna be doing it all out
of what's called tray con down in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No, when you talk about it a delay at Burbank Airport,
that means like a minute and a half.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yeah, this may be real delays tonight and we're gonna
find out.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Let me ask you a question, though, and answer honestly.
Don't put your you know, ABC hat on and give
me the bs that you guys always do. What if
you had to fly out of Lax fully fully staffed
or Burbank with no air traffic controllers?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
What would you choose.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Burbank Burbank the same way where?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Well, I mean, I've got a flight to New York
about two weeks and I chose to go out of
Burbank and into Burbank, which meant I had to go
through San Francisco. I would rather do that than go
to Lax and then have to commute home from LA.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's wild.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
The Burbank has a nice flight on Jet Blue that
leaves around ten o'clock at night.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They do want a brand new A two twenty.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Look at my dorkiness coming out of here, But it's
a beautiful A two twenty that flies in over my
house every night.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, and it looks gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, And how about the mileage on that plane every night?
New York back to La La, New York.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Those A two twenties really nice. So they're like brand new.
They look like spaces. They got a lot of room
in them.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And they have that like that purplish lighting too on
some of them. Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Are you a big online fan? You doing a lot
of shopping or the midst of the shopping?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah? We pretty much every day is Prime Day on
our front doorstep.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, we got a big one coming up. Huh.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
We do tomorrow and the next day.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
And if you're like, wait a second, didn't we just
have Prime Day a couple of months, we did, because
they do it. They started doing it in July and
twenty fifteen is one twenty four hour sale to celebrate
twenty years of Amazon. And that was a big money maker,
and they said, hey, let's do this again, and they
did it every year. Then they stretched it beyond one day,
they went to two days, and then during the pandemic,
(03:38):
they said.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You know, we could do another one of these and.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Still call it Amazon Prime Day, weirdly enough, and make
it multiple days and try to get a jump on
Black Friday and on Cyber Monday and get people doing
holiday shopping in October. And so that's what we've got
now of the holiday version of Prime Day, and this
is a big retail event for all the ree tailor's Target, Walmart,
(04:01):
Best Buy, Macy's. Everybody's in on it, and this is
gonna be a big year. But Veck, CAAPANDIA Adobe Analytics,
they do all the number crunching for retailers. He goes,
this is the stuff that's gonna be heavily discounted, So.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
The deepest discounts will go as much as twenty eight percent.
We see that in categories like electronics. But then we're
also anticipating discounts to be pretty competitive for apparel at
twenty five percent, appliances at eighteen percent.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
So overall, they expect around nine billion dollars to be
spent tomorrow and Wednesday on Prime Day deals across so
all the retailers that are doing the deals for it.
That's six point two percent more than.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
A year ago.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
And they think this is probably not a good sign
for the economy. They think by now, pay later that
use will jump eight percent this year with seven hundred
twenty three million dollars being spent on give it to
me now and I'll pay for it down the road,
and nobody pays later. Those who are using it. I
think oftentimes probably don't. They may have some problems paying
it later if they can't pay it now. But the
other thing that makes sense, they're saying fifty percent of
(04:56):
the shopping will be on mobile devices compared to desktop
and going into the store because it's everyone's looking on
their phone and buying it. The other thing that is
coming into play is ai that people do this. They've
been doing this for a while now. For airline tickets,
where you go on chat, GPT or whatever service you
use and say, find me the best deal from tomorrow
(05:17):
from Burbank to San Francisco, and it'll look at everything
that's out there and give you the one flight that's
the cheapest and tell you the way to go. Now,
they're doing that for say you want a fifty five
inch Samsung TV. You go on and say, you know,
I live in this city, how can I get the
cheapest fifty five in Samsung TV?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
And it'll pop back the best deal that it can find.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
He says that that is coming into play here too.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
We have a consumer that's really leaning on the online
sector to try to understand what's available to them. They're
using some of these generative AI platforms, these LM models
to get a sense of where they can get the
best absolute deal, where they can find cheaper versions of goods,
discovering different products on a social media platform forms and
(06:00):
through micro and macro.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Influences, influencers.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Man, my twelve year old, anything in baseball that's now
all the ice cream flavored colors.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
That is the thing with influencers right now.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
If you can get like oh is that right?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, like strawberry ice cream sliding mits and it's all.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It's all that the influencers doing it.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
But the one thing that they say they see going
into this from what consumers want. This year, there's going
to be a lot of what they call trading up
where people aren't just going for the cheapest basic TV
or refrigerator or washer and dryer, but they want a
good deal on getting a nice one. So you're gonna
see some higher end deals this year. That's why YETI
products are going to be on sale, which they don't
(06:40):
go on solid craft and ninja products you know they
make now like a home dackery maker that looks like
you're on Bourbon Street and they've got a soft served
ice cream and a fire pit, and coffeemakers and other things,
and you know all kinds of blenders, TVs of course,
vacuum cleaners.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
And when is it? What are the days tomorrow and Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You know, the one of my one of the fun
things I like to do in life doesn't cost much
if you have a member to if you're a member
of Costco.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It's free.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, there every day.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But if you go to Costco and you just mill around,
they they're now selling soft serve machines, you know, for
soft serve ice cream.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think those are the ninja ones.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, And if you mill around there, you'll see a
couple of big bone couples come by and look at it.
Then they look at the price, and then they decide,
look are we going to really open up an ice
cream place in our kitchen? You know, I mean the
last reason to leave your house is to go get
soft serve, And now you don't have to do that.
I think that's I think that's rock bottom.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Even that one of those things you use one time
and then like heavy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
As hell, you know, it's heavy as hell.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You got to buy the you know, all the the equipment,
all the sprinkles all the you know the stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's a it's another job.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's like a bread baker I bought one time. I
don't like I ever use it again. You don't have
any good on a Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Alex, you're a little younger than I am.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I really am jealous of our parents because our
parents had a refrigerator or an oven, a dishwasher, and
a washer and dryer that was on or off.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Now there's nine hundred choices you make on everything. You know,
the refrigerator. The other day, opened up a bottle of
water and it was frozen, and I said to my
wife and go, hey, how do you reduce the temperature
on this refrigerator? And all of a sudden it was
a huge panel that comes out and we now we
have to have like an it guy come in and
figure this out.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Everything used to be American Maid it would right forever,
and it was everything else.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, and now there's a you know, especially with washing clothes,
there's like nine hundred different choices.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And it's still warm water with soap.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And I stand there with sheets going is this bolt
or is this oversize?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I don't know what this is?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is this extra soak or not? I don't know. That's
a great man.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
All right, So today and tomorrow, the big days tomorrow
and the day tomorrow and today after all right for
Amazon and the big Prime days, Budy, I appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Go Dodgers, Go Dodgers, and good luck to those flying
out of Burbank tonight. Everything going smoothly.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I'd like to go out there and look at that.
All right, thanks man, thanks for coming on later. All right,

I we'll coming back with the monks or at Burbank.
Want to talk about Burbank Airport?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No air traffic controls at Burbank Airport. That's the story, right,
that's all of it. Right, Yeah, okay, we did that.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Go to the website KFI AM six forty dot com

is grand gr A n D k if I AM
six forty. It's a Conway show. Bellio is in here
video recording and we're looking at Channel two. There is
no traffic air traffic controllers tonight at Burbank Airport. So
(10:23):
if you're leaving out a Burbank Airport tonight, when you
buckle that seatbelt, tighten it up just a little bit,
just a little bit. We're gonna get to monks, But
first the latest on Burbank Airport. No air traffic controllers tonight.
When you're taking off wherever you're going to Seattle or Phoenix,
wherever the hell you're going dingdong with this, huh.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Not only Burbank, but a number of other airports across
the country being by these staffing shortages that the FAA
is issuing a combination of the government shutdown in addition
to air traffic controllers calling out, they are in a
position where they are essentially scrambling to get these ships
covered at a number of different control towers, including right
(11:02):
here at Burbank. At some point this evening, this afternoon
or tonight, there will be expected to be zero controllers
inside of that tower, which will bring air traffic here
in Burbank to a halt. That's expected to happen during
the peak time of the day. Here at Burbank, we're
talking in excess of fifty plus flights between now and tonight.
(11:24):
A lot of those flights, more than half of them
likely Southwest Airlines flights. But regardless of your carrier, you
are urged to call ahead and make sure that there
are not any changes or cancelations. Certainly there are bound
to be a large number tonight. Again, this is a
major developing story. We are trying to get more information
on what the strategy is going to be here. We're
(11:47):
waiting for further guidance from the FAA, and of course
as we get that, we will bring it right to your.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
All right, that's Chris Christy over there at ABC seven.
If you're leaving out a Burbank airport tonight, please call
your airline so you don't get hammered and have to
get yourself a hotel room or slide back home. Look,
we're looking at it right now. It looks pretty empty
Burbank Airport. We're looking at a couple of crossing guards.
It's a live shot on Channel two right now. And
(12:13):
there does seem to be a lot of planes that
are on the ground, mostly Southwest Airlines, one Spirit Airline there,
and then there's also the Jet Blue that will be
coming in Alaska on the other side of the airport,
and that airport is going to have zero air traffic
controllers tonight, so we'll see, we'll see how that affects
where you're going. And that's as Jim Fox, where the
(12:35):
King says, and that's how you get it done. Kings
fans will appreciate.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Them, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Michael Monks is with us, Hi, you bub I'm all right.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
You know they are going to have air traffic controllers
working on the fights. It's not clear about that. Not
he won't be here, but that's right, they'll be out
of San Diego.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
It sounds like I'm going to predict there's no short
no stoppage, and no slowdown.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
I looked at the website just before I came in
to see if there were any delays, and it looks
like a bunch of Southwest have already gone on delay.
But it's unclear whether that was a domino effect from
something earlier or just anticipated delays, or if it's related
to this. But it's something to keep an eye on
for sure, because this shutdown doesn't look like it has
a path to ending, so how long it is trying
(13:17):
to be going on?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Hey, Matt's pretty good in it here at at at KFI.
Can we send him over there? I bet he could
figure that out pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I think he could get the planes up and out
pretty good. Well, he's got a good attitude when he
when he fixes it, that's right. Shout out to Matt.
All right, monks is with us.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Before we get into why you're in here and your
big story, I gotta tell you I I bragged about
a restaurant last week on the radio, and it was
the greatest food I've ever had.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I went nuts on it.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And then I went over the weekend on Sunday, I
went to that restaurant and.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The food was horrible. What changed? I don't know. I
got like sick. I don't know what I ate, but
I didn't feel good afterwards.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Was did you eat something the exact same thing I had,
same dish, Yeah, same dish. And I felt horrible that
I've like told everybody, hey, there's the greatest thing in
the world, but.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Don't you have some weird digestion issues. You think you
weren't just having a flare up.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But I had the digestion issues issues the first time
I went, you know, I just did.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It didn't pop up. Yeah, So I don't know. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
All right, let's talk about the all these bridges and
all these streets that have no power and no street lights.
You lived downtown where there's very few street lights, Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's true.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
In fact, local state lawmakers and a city council member,
and law enforcement officials, the sheriff, the district attorney. They're
at this press conference today near the sixth Street bridge.
You know, the sixth Street Bridge opened up with a
lot of hullabaloo. It was a oh no, it costs
much more than that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
To fion.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
It's cost a more than two million dollars to repair
since it opened, right.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And the guys that stole the copper are only getting
like eleven to seve seventeen thousand dollars from the copper.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's right, So the ratio is a little bit off.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
And by the way, how do you know how much
copper they took from that bridge?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I do not. I apologize for giggling. I'm a reporter, right,
reporter's face.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
More than thirty eight thousand feet Wow, If I can
quantify that for you, maybe a little more easily. Seven
miles of copper wires stolen from that bridge.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That is crazy. Now, it's not just that bridge.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
That's probably the largest example of the plague of copper
theft that's going on in Los Angeles in the region.
Because if you do hang out downtown after dark, which
I don't know if you do, yeah, you're usually only
eliminated by a bumfire in the curve and that's it.
That's the only glow that you got going on because
all the street lights are off in so many parts
(15:53):
of the area because of people who've stolen the copper. Now,
the Assembly in Sacramento has already passed a piece of
legs that will strengthen the penalties and the fines. Will
also allow law enforcement to go after the dealers, the recyclers,
those types who are purchasing the stuff. And it would
also require you to have documentation if you are in
(16:13):
possession of a significant amount of copper wire. Thing is
governor has not signed it yet, so this press conference
today featuring a state senator, excuse me, State Assemblyman Mark Gonzales,
and city Councilman Isabel Herrado, as well as district Attorney
Nathan Hackman and Sheriff Luna.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
The state assembly member said this about the situation.
Speaker 10 (16:34):
Imagine that entire blocks, entire communities, plunge into darkness, not
by nature, but by neglect and by greed. On the
Sixth Street bridge behind me, once called the ribbon of Light,
they've stripped thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Thousand feet of the ribbon of light.
Speaker 10 (16:51):
Making eleven thousand dollars, while taxpayers footed two point five
million dollars to repair. Two years later, parts of that
beautiful bridge remain dark. Still kimble both the scale of
this problem and the urgency of our response today.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And it's not just street lights.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Like you said, I lived down there, we had If
I may share a personal anecdote, we had Spectrum cable
when we first moved on nice right. I've always like
had it back home, knew it kept the same account
and all that was very easy to transfer. But we
had some sort of infrastructure problem in the wall where
the Spectrum cable was not working. So rather than deal
with like the apartment people coming in like, we'll switch services, right,
so we went with our phone people, Verizon. The Verizon
uses a different system. They use these boxes that they
(17:30):
put up in various locations and it points the Internet
towards your home. Like, oh yeah, we've got one over
by you. We no problem to come in and install.
They come over to install it and like get the signals.
Not the signal's not coming in, And so let's go
take a look at where the box is. So it's
a couple of blocks over right on skid row. What
do you think the problem was with that box? All
the wirings, all the wiring is gone, so you can't
(17:52):
put anything down you know those ride shares that you
could It's like the scooters, but they were cars. You
could basically have an and then you could drive one
of these cars. They're electric. You have to plug them in.
They're all gone from downtown now because they had been gutted.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, you can't have.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Nice things, you know. There's a thing that just flashed
before I walked in here. There's a police shooting at
fifth in Los Angeles Street, two blocks from my right.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, thank god you're here.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
I was gonna fly from burbank to get in there
a little faster, but that's off too.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I guess have you ever seen you know, these guys
who do steal the copper wiring, they also have to
have a currency detector with them, because if you grab
one of those wires and it's hot, it's running so
much electricity through it, it's not gonna let you go.
When you grab it, it'll freeze your hands on it,
and then it'll burn you like a roast you know,
like when you die, you'll look like a roast beef.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So this requires certain tools.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yes, you have to be pretty good at shutting down
the electricity first. But look, it's it's not this is
another thing that we've got to solve before the World Cup,
the Super Bowl, in the Olympics.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Yeah, and you know what is what always stands out
to me at these press conferences is that you see
a lot of faces the city council member, this Assembly member,
you see them at the convention center sort of thing.
You don't ever hear them talk about what's at the
root of this, which is the open air drug use
that they allow, okay, and the homelessness on the street
that they allow. You know, they just raise the price
(19:19):
of the parking meters. We talked about this on Friday. Sure,
but you can still throw up a tent on the
sidewalk and stay there indefinitely and those same people won't
do anything about it.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, I know you're right.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Look, I'm still shocked every day you stay, you say,
you're still in downtown.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I intend to be the change I want to see
in the world.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Okay, Okay, let me know when that does change. All right, Monks,
every Saturday and seven am until nine pm, seven pm,
I'm sorry, seven pm to nine pm. Sorry bout that
we're not seven pm to nine pm. And now you
can catch them every Saturday night, right, here, monks, thanks
for coming in. All right, Burbank Airport is gonna be tonight.
It's gonna be interesting. They're gonna have air traffic controllers,
(19:58):
but they'll be out of San Diego and there'll be
nobody sitting in that control tower tonight. So we'll see.
We'll see what that looks like. Will plane still take off?
Will people be flipped out about it?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
We're gonna see because I don't remember this ever happening before.
And La quickly turning into mad Max. That's what it is,
all right. We're live on KFI. We're keeping on the
Dodger game still zero zero. If there's any movement that
score'al here at first, well, first on their station, but
second right here on KFI.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
KFI AM six forty Comra show Dodgers nothing, Philly's nothing.
Both pitchers are pitching one hitters in the sixth inning.
Dodgers win this, they take a huge lead to nothing
in the best of.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Five, so they could wrap it up here.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
If they win tonight, they could wrap it up a
stadium and move on to the National League Championship Series,
and if they win that, they're off to the World Series.
They have to win thirteen games from the end of
the season, thirteen games to win the World Series. So
far they've won three. Ten more to go. And then
(21:17):
you and Bellio, myself, Crozier, Sam, whoever else is here, Richie,
Nikki can all have brookers here. We can all have
a party again at Dodgers Stadium. Yeah, all right, let's
get back to Burbank Airport. This is gonna cause a
lot of people, a lot of headaches and a lot
of confusion. And we don't know what's going on. We
(21:39):
don't know whether they're gonna delay flights cancel flights. But
there's gonna be an issue staffing the control tower. And
I don't know if it's ground control or if it's
just air traffic control. Let's find out. Maybe it's both.
But there's gonna be a lot of people who are
not gonna be thrilled with or nervous. I should say,
(22:00):
if you're on a flight and the air traffic control
is being done in San Diego, Ah, it's like going
on a carnival ride that's built by Carnes. You don't
quite know for sure if that bolt's been tightened. All right,
let's find out more that Eleana Marino from Channel four
was flying high over Burbank Airport moments ago.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
And we've been listening to their frequency here as they
prepare to handoff duties to SOAKOW, which is an approach
and departure team out of San Diego who will talk
pilots into landing and taking off your at Burbank Airport. So,
as you said, we're just a few minutes away. Now,
this isn't the first time that an airport has done this.
A lot of smaller airports operate this way without a
(22:44):
tower controller, but for it to happen at a larger
commercial airport like Hollywood Wood Burdbank is a little bit
out of the ordinary.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
So we'll see.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
How this does impact flights here at Burbank Airport and
throughout other airports throughout the country, as these staffing shortages
are not just here but nationwide. That is the latest here,
bub Burbank in your shopper for I'm atta Marino.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh boy, all right, we're gonna keep an eye on
that all day long for you. So if you're on
your way to Burbank Airport. You may want to check
to see if your flight is going to take off.
All right, the big news in Los Angeles. I couldn't
believe it's even a story, but everyone's talking about it.
The dinosaur has been returned to the bell Air gas
(23:26):
station and oh thank.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You, thank god. And the same guy that ripped it
off brought it back.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It's a Sinclair gas station in bell Air or Brentwood,
you know where the richies live, and they like their dinosaur.
They it's about three feet high, I don't know, probably
weighs a couple hundred pounds, and it is. It's decorated
for Halloween, of Valentine's Day, Christmas, you know whatever. There's
a protest. It's carrying a you know, pro union sign
(23:55):
or whatever, and somebody stole it. Clear video of the
guys stealing it in the white truck. And then he
brought it back last night and all the kids are thrilled,
just in time for Halloween to decorate this dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
For some reason, this is big news in Los Angeles.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
A popular dinosaur statue that was stolen from outside of
Sinclair gas station has been returned. The statue, named Claire,
was stolen last week. This is new surveillance video of
the statue being returned to the gas station on San
Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood early this morning. It was found
covered in a blanket with a note that read quote,
I'm sorry I took the dinosaur. Please don't press charges.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I thought that the name of that dinosaur was Dino.
I don't know when they changed it to Claire. Maybe
that dinosaur had a sex change, just that one.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Do dinosaurs do? Do dinosaur
statues have sex changes? The statues?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
They don't think so, not the statues. Hey, isn't it
easier for us, dude, change the sex of a statue.
I mean you just do it, you know, burn it, chisel,
depending on which way you're going. Yeah, I mean you could.
You could do it overnight, you know, no therapy or anything.
You just just need either glue or right, had a wiener,
cut a wiener. But you can do pretty quickly. But
I thought it was Dino the name of that statue.
(25:12):
Now it's Claire. Yeah, odno, yeah, right, yeah, like but
I don't know. I'm confused.
Speaker 11 (25:18):
The employee who discovered the dino says Claire is a
popular staple.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Okay, so she did call it a dino like short
for dinosaur, but I always thought that was the name
of it.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
The employee who discovered the dino says, Claire is a
popular staple of the community and kids like to take
pictures with it.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
It's the celeary because usually.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
When Isa station is gone. Is that different?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Fall hallow in something like that.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
They put in that costume for Mother's Day, Father's Day,
something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, that's right. They dressed it up for Mother's Day.
I've never seen that before. Dressed up for Father's Day
and Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I don't know. I don't know how you dress up
for Mother's Day.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
They put in that costume for Mother's Day Father's sake.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I think she's missing mixing up some days. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I don't remember the last time they decorated a dinosaur
for Father's Day exactly what him, I don't know. Or
Mother's Day. What do you put on a mother for
Mother's Day? That's not insulting? No apron, you know he
can't give give her a broom.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Or something made out of macaroni room.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I'm saying you can't. You cannot do that because it's
it's offensive belly.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Oh, I'm on your side. I'm a feminist. I'm gonna
stay on high alert. You don't think I'm a feminist.
You don't think I'm a feminist.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I didn't say no. I was getting ready to answer you.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Okay, you think I'm a feminist? Yes, yes, I'm down
for the cause.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
This is video of the dino being stolen. The suspect
appears to be the same person who returned it.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, the dinosaur's bag, all right, Burbank Airports closing down.
All the flights are gonna fly into each other, but
the dinosaur's back. So glad we all covered that.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
They're live on channel four there right now.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Let's flip it on real quick, Sammy on channel four
here and see what there if there's any update. I know,
it looks like a Southwest and the Spirit Airline are
about to take off, so that's good news. And then
the Southwest behind that is another. So there's three planes
ready to take off. Let's pop it up here and see.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
We need permission from the tower, and at this point,
without the tower being present, it's unclear how these pilots
know when it is their time to get on the
runway or when it is time for the airport vehicles
like gas trucks to be able to cross over the runway.
So that point that at this point is unknown. But again,
there is no one in the tower now, dude. Staffing shortages.
(27:45):
They plan on having somebody back in here at around
ten o'clock tonight or hopefully sooner.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
But again you and expect to lay here at.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Burbank Airport and other airports throughout the country. That's latest
here from Burbank and News Shopper four. I'm eleon Marino.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know, somebody, I think if somebody's making his statement,
Thanks Sammy. I think somebody's making a statement, because why
wouldn't a guy who's just you know, there, just stay later.
You know, if I was the only guy in the
tower and they're not gonna you know, you're not gonna
replace me after my five hours or so, I'll be like, okay,
we I'll just haang, you know, for an hour or so.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But that control tower is gonna be empty. But you
know what, I here's the takeaway from that video. The
new Burbank Airport looks beautiful. I don't know if you
saw that, But in the background there, Burbank's doing a
whole new airport. The airport that you know right now
at Burbank Airport will be demolished next year and the
(28:39):
new airport will open and it's going to be spectacular.
It's everything's going to be new. The food's going to
be great, the service is gonna be spectacular. There'll be
plenty of parking. Burbank is going to be the number
one airport in California, the newest airport, the greatest airport
in California. So if you live in Burbank, you got
a nice tree coming man, a brand new airport. All right, Well,
(29:04):
we're gonna keep an eye on this Burbank Airport. Nobody
in the tower, all right, Well, there's more people in
this studio right now than there are in the tower.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
God one person.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, nobody can get hurt here with anything I say.
Yet there's you know, planes that have no nobody in
the tower. I should go to the tower and just
look at my binoculars and go hey, hey, hey, uh
two four eight five, don't cross two four seven three Cross.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I think I could do that. You know this is
gonna end well, right, yeah, I think I could do that.
I really do. I think I could pull that off
pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
All Right, We're live on KFI AM six forty Dodgers
zero Philly zero. Keep you updated on that score as well.
K if I AM sixty is the Conway Show. The
airport in Burbank is understaffed. And it's not at Hey, Sammy,
there's somebody's mic one, thanks both. It's it's not at
(30:00):
the snackstand. It's not where you buy magazines or you
get a cup of coffee. It's the guy in the
control tower. The number one the most important job at
Burbank Airport is the guy making sure the planes don't
run into each other. It has to be the number
(30:21):
one spot, number one guy. If you take the you know,
maybe there's maybe a thousand people that work at Burbank
Airport on three different ships. You know, you got guys
with luggage, take a takers, baggage handlers, cops, custodians, security,
parking guys. You know, there's probably a thousand people that
(30:43):
get their paycheck from Burbank Airport. And the most important
job is the guy or girl, the man or the
woman in the tower that make sure the plane with
one hundred and fifty four people going to Vegas doesn't
crash into the plane of one hundred forty eight people
coming in from Portland. And he's not there or she's
(31:05):
not there. So Gavin Newsom continued his feud with Donald Trump,
and this goes. This is related to the story after
it was revealed the airport in Burbank, California, went over
six hours without air traffic controllers, and the White House,
(31:25):
then asked for comment by the Daily Mail, sent an
automatic reply putting responsibility for the shutdown on the Democrats,
and of course the Democrats putting it on the backs
of the Republican due to the staff shortage's resulting in
the Democratic shutdown. This is from the White House. The
typical twenty four to seven monitoring of the press inbox
(31:47):
may experience delays.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And sort of bread kind of. I don't know. I
don't know if it was a joke or it was
just stupid.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
But as you wait a response, As you await a response,
please remember this could have been avoid if the Democrats
voted to vote for a clean continuing resolution to keep
the government open, all right, so we'll see what happens.
But without an air traffic without on site air traffic controllers,
(32:14):
the airport's arrivals and the departures, they're going to have
to be managed by somebody, and it's gonna be Traycon
or track con tra Con, a team working out of
San Diego, which already handles much of Burbank's traffic.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Anyway, Oh, I didn't know that. Then why have a tower?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The FA told ABC seven and KFI that it was
working to get staffers to the airport before ten pm
local time. Gavin Newsom continued his feud with Donald Trump
after it's revealed that the airport in Burbank went for
over six hours.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
All right, so that's about it. Yeah, that's the stories.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
So they're going to try to get air traffic controllers
there before ten o'clock tonight. That's the witching hour.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So let's look up.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I'm going to look up real quickly Bank departure and
see where we are. Okay, Burbank, Hollywood, Burbank departures.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
There's the beautiful airport.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
That's where the new airport's going to be a little
bit north there, and then we have departures. All right,
let's find out, you know, where these flights are going
to be delayed and who's delayed, and so far I
think I think Monks was right. There are some delays,
(33:31):
but they don't say whether these delays have anything to
do whether they were delayed before. Okay, here are the departures,
and let me see. Okay, so there's only one delay
right now. It's going to Sacramento at well and already
took off. Oh no, I see it's delayed. It was
supposed to take off at four point fifty. Now it's
(33:53):
going to be six fifty eight, so two hours and
eight minute delay. If you're on the four fifty to
Sacramento on Southwest Airlines and you're hurrying to get to
the airport, you can slow down. It's a two hour delay.
Then another delay is five point fifteen going to San Jose.
(34:13):
That will leave a half hour laid. So it doesn't
look like there's too many delays so far. It looks
like two minor delays. One two hours and the other
one is literally you know, thirty minutes. And now yeah,
it looks like everything else is either is on schedule
(34:35):
or slightly delayed.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
So it doesn't look it doesn't look horrible.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Let me look at all the departures here even later,
because if you're on your way to Burbank Airport right now,
this is not what you want. This is going to
drive you crazy. Okay, So here are let me see
there's one all right. There are now some more delays
coming in. The Sacramento is delayed for fifty will be
at except almost seven o'clock, and then we have a
(35:02):
five thirty five to Vegas. Well it shall be about
two hours late at seven twenty five. If you're hurrying
to get to the five forty five to Sacramento, that's
going to be at seven forty that's delayed. And also
it looks like all the Southwest are the ones delayed.
Avello Airlines is on time, Alaska Airlines is on time,
and another Southwest delayed San Jose. It's supposed to be
(35:24):
at six ten Now it's six seven to fifty five,
so about a two hour delay there, and then six
thirty five to San Francisco on United Airlines. It was
supposed to be at six thirty six, Now it's going
to be almost nine o'clock, eight fifty one, and then
Oakland at six fifty. That'll be delayed till ten o'clock.
So there are these later flights are delayed. They've even
(35:45):
canceled the Vegas trip seven thirty Vegas. Southwest Airlines to
Vegas canceled, so you have to wait for another fifteen
minutes to find another flight to uh Vegas out of Burbank.
Let's see another one was Phoenix seven point thirty five.
That'll be eleven o'clock tonight, so that's a huge delay.
So there are some significant delays, especially on Southwest Airlines.
(36:08):
Jeff Blue is showing no delays. Net Jets no delays.
It looks like the one that is affecting most people
is Southwest Alaska Airlines is on time. UPS is on time.
FedEx is leaving on time. The FedEx plane, the big,
huge FedEx plane that goes to Memphis, leaves at seven
(36:30):
o'clock every night out of Burbank. I don't know why
I know that, but my buddy of mine, it works
for FedEx, told me that at seven or seven to
ten every night, that big gas plane takes off out
of Burbank and flies right to Memphis, drops a load
and then picks a load UP and comes back to
a Burbank that's on time, and the UPS is right
(36:50):
around the same time, seven seven fifteen, and that big
gas plane leaves UPS. It leaves out of and their
their base I think is Louisville. So on one of
those planes leaves Burbank goes to Memphis, that's FedEx, and
the other is UPS and it goes to Louisville, Kentucky.
And that leaves every night seven to seven fifteen. So
(37:11):
if you're a big fan of plane spotting, you want
to go out there and look at that. All right,
we're live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty
It's KFI AM sixty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI AM sixty.
It is the Conway Show, all right. The Los Angeles
Dodgers are currently playing in Philadelphia. But you don't have
to listen to every single pitch. You're you're not into it.
(00:22):
You're not just you know, you're into the final score.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You look at me.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
So we'll keep you updated on the score. And it
could be a really horrible weekend for Philadelphia. Philadelphia lost
to the Dodgers on Saturday, and then the Eagles lost
to Denver. The undefeated Eagles lost to Denver at home
on Sunday. And the Broncos are like two good players
and like forty eight homeless guys on that team, and
(00:47):
they lost and they beat you know, on a controversial play.
But never unless they beat the Eagles. And now, if
the Dodgers win today, that's good morning, good afternoon, and
good night for Philadelphia. I've been there before as a
Kings fan, as a Rams fan, I know what that
feels like.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's horrible. It's the worst, it's the absolute worst. All right.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
We'll keep you updated on the score, but right now
Alex Stone, as well as from ABC News, how you.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Bobb ding dong?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Hey, did you hear the Burbank Airport no controllers, not
closing it, but no controllers. In ten minutes, they're gonna
run it out of San Diego.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving out of an airport that
doesn't have control.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, it is, you know.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Sean Duffy said today just what we talked about last week,
where the concern was as this government shutdown drags on,
that air traffic controllers and TSA are going to begin
calling out sick and that they've got that now with
air traffic control already, and so tonight until I believe
five am, they have no staffing for the tower at
Burbank Airport, but they're gonna they're gonna figure it out.
(01:49):
They say that hopefully it'll have minimal impact, but they're
already warning pilots of delays getting into Burbank and out
of Burbank because they're gonna be doing it all out
of what's called tray con down in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No, when you talk about it a delay at Burbank Airport,
that means like a minute and a half.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Yeah, this may be real delays tonight and we're gonna
find out.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Let me ask you a question, though, and answer honestly.
Don't put your you know, ABC hat on and give
me the bs that you guys always do. What if
you had to fly out of Lax fully fully staffed
or Burbank with no air traffic controllers?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
What would you choose.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Burbank Burbank the same way where?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Well, I mean, I've got a flight to New York
about two weeks and I chose to go out of
Burbank and into Burbank, which meant I had to go
through San Francisco. I would rather do that than go
to Lax and then have to commute home from LA.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's wild.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You know.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
The Burbank has a nice flight on Jet Blue that
leaves around ten o'clock at night.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
They do want a brand new A two twenty.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Look at my dorkiness coming out of here, But it's
a beautiful A two twenty that flies in over my
house every night.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, and it looks gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, And how about the mileage on that plane every night?
New York back to La La, New York.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Those A two twenties really nice. So they're like brand new.
They look like spaces. They got a lot of room
in them.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And they have that like that purplish lighting too on
some of them. Yeah, that's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Are you a big online fan? You doing a lot
of shopping or the midst of the shopping?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah? We pretty much every day is Prime Day on
our front doorstep.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Well, we got a big one coming up. Huh.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
We do tomorrow and the next day.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
And if you're like, wait a second, didn't we just
have Prime Day a couple of months, we did, because
they do it. They started doing it in July and
twenty fifteen is one twenty four hour sale to celebrate
twenty years of Amazon. And that was a big money maker,
and they said, hey, let's do this again, and they
did it every year. Then they stretched it beyond one day,
they went to two days, and then during the pandemic,
(03:38):
they said.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You know, we could do another one of these and.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Still call it Amazon Prime Day, weirdly enough, and make
it multiple days and try to get a jump on
Black Friday and on Cyber Monday and get people doing
holiday shopping in October. And so that's what we've got
now of the holiday version of Prime Day, and this
is a big retail event for all the ree tailor's Target, Walmart,
(04:01):
Best Buy, Macy's. Everybody's in on it, and this is
gonna be a big year. But Veck, CAAPANDIA Adobe Analytics,
they do all the number crunching for retailers. He goes,
this is the stuff that's gonna be heavily discounted, So.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
The deepest discounts will go as much as twenty eight percent.
We see that in categories like electronics. But then we're
also anticipating discounts to be pretty competitive for apparel at
twenty five percent, appliances at eighteen percent.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
So overall, they expect around nine billion dollars to be
spent tomorrow and Wednesday on Prime Day deals across so
all the retailers that are doing the deals for it.
That's six point two percent more than.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
A year ago.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
And they think this is probably not a good sign
for the economy. They think by now, pay later that
use will jump eight percent this year with seven hundred
twenty three million dollars being spent on give it to
me now and I'll pay for it down the road,
and nobody pays later. Those who are using it. I
think oftentimes probably don't. They may have some problems paying
it later if they can't pay it now. But the
other thing that makes sense, they're saying fifty percent of
(04:56):
the shopping will be on mobile devices compared to desktop
and going into the store because it's everyone's looking on
their phone and buying it. The other thing that is
coming into play is ai that people do this. They've
been doing this for a while now. For airline tickets,
where you go on chat, GPT or whatever service you
use and say, find me the best deal from tomorrow
(05:17):
from Burbank to San Francisco, and it'll look at everything
that's out there and give you the one flight that's
the cheapest and tell you the way to go. Now,
they're doing that for say you want a fifty five
inch Samsung TV. You go on and say, you know,
I live in this city, how can I get the
cheapest fifty five in Samsung TV?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
And it'll pop back the best deal that it can find.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
He says that that is coming into play here too.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
We have a consumer that's really leaning on the online
sector to try to understand what's available to them. They're
using some of these generative AI platforms, these LM models
to get a sense of where they can get the
best absolute deal, where they can find cheaper versions of goods,
discovering different products on a social media platform forms and
(06:00):
through micro and macro.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Influences, influencers.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Man, my twelve year old, anything in baseball that's now
all the ice cream flavored colors.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
That is the thing with influencers right now.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
If you can get like oh is that right?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, like strawberry ice cream sliding mits and it's all.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It's all that the influencers doing it.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
But the one thing that they say they see going
into this from what consumers want. This year, there's going
to be a lot of what they call trading up
where people aren't just going for the cheapest basic TV
or refrigerator or washer and dryer, but they want a
good deal on getting a nice one. So you're gonna
see some higher end deals this year. That's why YETI
products are going to be on sale, which they don't
(06:40):
go on solid craft and ninja products you know they
make now like a home dackery maker that looks like
you're on Bourbon Street and they've got a soft served
ice cream and a fire pit, and coffeemakers and other things,
and you know all kinds of blenders, TVs of course,
vacuum cleaners.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
And when is it? What are the days tomorrow and Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You know, the one of my one of the fun
things I like to do in life doesn't cost much
if you have a member to if you're a member
of Costco.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
It's free.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, there every day.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But if you go to Costco and you just mill around,
they they're now selling soft serve machines, you know, for
soft serve ice cream.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, I think those are the ninja ones.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yeah, And if you mill around there, you'll see a
couple of big bone couples come by and look at it.
Then they look at the price, and then they decide,
look are we going to really open up an ice
cream place in our kitchen? You know, I mean the
last reason to leave your house is to go get
soft serve, And now you don't have to do that.
I think that's I think that's rock bottom.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Even that one of those things you use one time
and then like heavy.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
As hell, you know, it's heavy as hell.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You got to buy the you know, all the the equipment,
all the sprinkles all the you know the stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's a it's another job.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
It's like a bread baker I bought one time. I
don't like I ever use it again. You don't have
any good on a Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Alex, you're a little younger than I am.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
But I really am jealous of our parents because our
parents had a refrigerator or an oven, a dishwasher, and
a washer and dryer that was on or off.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Now there's nine hundred choices you make on everything. You know,
the refrigerator. The other day, opened up a bottle of
water and it was frozen, and I said to my
wife and go, hey, how do you reduce the temperature
on this refrigerator? And all of a sudden it was
a huge panel that comes out and we now we
have to have like an it guy come in and
figure this out.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Everything used to be American Maid it would right forever,
and it was everything else.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, and now there's a you know, especially with washing clothes,
there's like nine hundred different choices.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And it's still warm water with soap.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
And I stand there with sheets going is this bolt
or is this oversize?
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I don't know what this is?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is this extra soak or not? I don't know. That's
a great man.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
All right, So today and tomorrow, the big days tomorrow
and the day tomorrow and today after all right for
Amazon and the big Prime days, Budy, I appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Go Dodgers, Go Dodgers, and good luck to those flying

is grand gr A n D k if I AM
six forty. It's a Conway show. Bellio is in here
video recording and we're looking at Channel two. There is
no traffic air traffic controllers tonight at Burbank Airport. So
(10:23):
if you're leaving out a Burbank Airport tonight, when you
buckle that seatbelt, tighten it up just a little bit,
just a little bit. We're gonna get to monks, But
first the latest on Burbank Airport. No air traffic controllers tonight.
When you're taking off wherever you're going to Seattle or Phoenix,
wherever the hell you're going dingdong with this, huh.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Not only Burbank, but a number of other airports across
the country being by these staffing shortages that the FAA
is issuing a combination of the government shutdown in addition
to air traffic controllers calling out, they are in a
position where they are essentially scrambling to get these ships
covered at a number of different control towers, including right
(11:02):
here at Burbank. At some point this evening, this afternoon
or tonight, there will be expected to be zero controllers
inside of that tower, which will bring air traffic here
in Burbank to a halt. That's expected to happen during
the peak time of the day. Here at Burbank, we're
talking in excess of fifty plus flights between now and tonight.
(11:24):
A lot of those flights, more than half of them
likely Southwest Airlines flights. But regardless of your carrier, you
are urged to call ahead and make sure that there
are not any changes or cancelations. Certainly there are bound
to be a large number tonight. Again, this is a
major developing story. We are trying to get more information
on what the strategy is going to be here. We're
(11:47):
waiting for further guidance from the FAA, and of course
as we get that, we will bring it right to your.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
All right, that's Chris Christy over there at ABC seven.
If you're leaving out a Burbank airport tonight, please call
your airline so you don't get hammered and have to
get yourself a hotel room or slide back home. Look,
we're looking at it right now. It looks pretty empty
Burbank Airport. We're looking at a couple of crossing guards.
It's a live shot on Channel two right now. And
(12:13):
there does seem to be a lot of planes that
are on the ground, mostly Southwest Airlines, one Spirit Airline there,
and then there's also the Jet Blue that will be
coming in Alaska on the other side of the airport,
and that airport is going to have zero air traffic
controllers tonight, so we'll see, we'll see how that affects
where you're going. And that's as Jim Fox, where the
(12:35):
King says, and that's how you get it done. Kings
fans will appreciate.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Them, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Michael Monks is with us, Hi, you bub I'm all right.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
You know they are going to have air traffic controllers
working on the fights. It's not clear about that. Not
he won't be here, but that's right, they'll be out
of San Diego.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
It sounds like I'm going to predict there's no short
no stoppage, and no slowdown.
Speaker 9 (12:56):
I looked at the website just before I came in
to see if there were any delays, and it looks
like a bunch of Southwest have already gone on delay.
But it's unclear whether that was a domino effect from
something earlier or just anticipated delays, or if it's related
to this. But it's something to keep an eye on
for sure, because this shutdown doesn't look like it has
a path to ending, so how long it is trying
(13:17):
to be going on?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Hey, Matt's pretty good in it here at at at KFI.
Can we send him over there? I bet he could
figure that out pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I think he could get the planes up and out
pretty good. Well, he's got a good attitude when he
when he fixes it, that's right. Shout out to Matt.
All right, monks is with us.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Before we get into why you're in here and your
big story, I gotta tell you I I bragged about
a restaurant last week on the radio, and it was
the greatest food I've ever had.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I went nuts on it.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And then I went over the weekend on Sunday, I
went to that restaurant and.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The food was horrible. What changed? I don't know. I
got like sick. I don't know what I ate, but
I didn't feel good afterwards.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Was did you eat something the exact same thing I had,
same dish, Yeah, same dish. And I felt horrible that
I've like told everybody, hey, there's the greatest thing in
the world, but.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Don't you have some weird digestion issues. You think you
weren't just having a flare up.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But I had the digestion issues issues the first time
I went, you know, I just did.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It didn't pop up. Yeah, So I don't know. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
All right, let's talk about the all these bridges and
all these streets that have no power and no street lights.
You lived downtown where there's very few street lights, Is
that right?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's true.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
In fact, local state lawmakers and a city council member,
and law enforcement officials, the sheriff, the district attorney. They're
at this press conference today near the sixth Street bridge.
You know, the sixth Street Bridge opened up with a
lot of hullabaloo. It was a oh no, it costs
much more than that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
To fion.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
It's cost a more than two million dollars to repair
since it opened, right.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And the guys that stole the copper are only getting
like eleven to seve seventeen thousand dollars from the copper.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's right, So the ratio is a little bit off.
Speaker 9 (15:06):
And by the way, how do you know how much
copper they took from that bridge?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I do not. I apologize for giggling. I'm a reporter, right,
reporter's face.
Speaker 9 (15:16):
More than thirty eight thousand feet Wow, If I can
quantify that for you, maybe a little more easily. Seven
miles of copper wires stolen from that bridge.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That is crazy. Now, it's not just that bridge.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
That's probably the largest example of the plague of copper
theft that's going on in Los Angeles in the region.
Because if you do hang out downtown after dark, which
I don't know if you do, yeah, you're usually only
eliminated by a bumfire in the curve and that's it.
That's the only glow that you got going on because
all the street lights are off in so many parts
(15:53):
of the area because of people who've stolen the copper. Now,
the Assembly in Sacramento has already passed a piece of
legs that will strengthen the penalties and the fines. Will
also allow law enforcement to go after the dealers, the recyclers,
those types who are purchasing the stuff. And it would
also require you to have documentation if you are in
(16:13):
possession of a significant amount of copper wire. Thing is
governor has not signed it yet, so this press conference
today featuring a state senator, excuse me, State Assemblyman Mark Gonzales,
and city Councilman Isabel Herrado, as well as district Attorney
Nathan Hackman and Sheriff Luna.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
The state assembly member said this about the situation.
Speaker 10 (16:34):
Imagine that entire blocks, entire communities, plunge into darkness, not
by nature, but by neglect and by greed. On the
Sixth Street bridge behind me, once called the ribbon of Light,
they've stripped thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Thousand feet of the ribbon of light.
Speaker 10 (16:51):
Making eleven thousand dollars, while taxpayers footed two point five
million dollars to repair. Two years later, parts of that
beautiful bridge remain dark. Still kimble both the scale of
this problem and the urgency of our response today.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And it's not just street lights.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Like you said, I lived down there, we had If
I may share a personal anecdote, we had Spectrum cable
when we first moved on nice right. I've always like
had it back home, knew it kept the same account
and all that was very easy to transfer. But we
had some sort of infrastructure problem in the wall where
the Spectrum cable was not working. So rather than deal
with like the apartment people coming in like, we'll switch services, right,
so we went with our phone people, Verizon. The Verizon
uses a different system. They use these boxes that they
(17:30):
put up in various locations and it points the Internet
towards your home. Like, oh yeah, we've got one over
by you. We no problem to come in and install.
They come over to install it and like get the signals.
Not the signal's not coming in, And so let's go
take a look at where the box is. So it's
a couple of blocks over right on skid row. What
do you think the problem was with that box? All
the wirings, all the wiring is gone, so you can't
(17:52):
put anything down you know those ride shares that you
could It's like the scooters, but they were cars. You
could basically have an and then you could drive one
of these cars. They're electric. You have to plug them in.
They're all gone from downtown now because they had been gutted.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah, you can't have.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Nice things, you know. There's a thing that just flashed
before I walked in here. There's a police shooting at
fifth in Los Angeles Street, two blocks from my right.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, thank god you're here.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
I was gonna fly from burbank to get in there
a little faster, but that's off too.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I guess have you ever seen you know, these guys
who do steal the copper wiring, they also have to
have a currency detector with them, because if you grab
one of those wires and it's hot, it's running so
much electricity through it, it's not gonna let you go.
When you grab it, it'll freeze your hands on it,
and then it'll burn you like a roast you know,
like when you die, you'll look like a roast beef.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
So this requires certain tools.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yes, you have to be pretty good at shutting down
the electricity first. But look, it's it's not this is
another thing that we've got to solve before the World Cup,
the Super Bowl, in the Olympics.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Yeah, and you know what is what always stands out
to me at these press conferences is that you see
a lot of faces the city council member, this Assembly member,
you see them at the convention center sort of thing.
You don't ever hear them talk about what's at the
root of this, which is the open air drug use
that they allow, okay, and the homelessness on the street
that they allow. You know, they just raise the price
(19:19):
of the parking meters. We talked about this on Friday. Sure,
but you can still throw up a tent on the
sidewalk and stay there indefinitely and those same people won't
do anything about it.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, I know you're right.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Look, I'm still shocked every day you stay, you say,
you're still in downtown.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I intend to be the change I want to see
in the world.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Okay, Okay, let me know when that does change. All right, Monks,
every Saturday and seven am until nine pm, seven pm,
I'm sorry, seven pm to nine pm. Sorry bout that
we're not seven pm to nine pm. And now you
can catch them every Saturday night, right, here, monks, thanks
for coming in. All right, Burbank Airport is gonna be tonight.
It's gonna be interesting. They're gonna have air traffic controllers,
(19:58):
but they'll be out of San Diego and there'll be
nobody sitting in that control tower tonight. So we'll see.
We'll see what that looks like. Will plane still take off?
Will people be flipped out about it?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
We're gonna see because I don't remember this ever happening before.
And La quickly turning into mad Max. That's what it is,
all right. We're live on KFI. We're keeping on the
Dodger game still zero zero. If there's any movement that
score'al here at first, well, first on their station, but
second right here on KFI.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
KFI AM six forty Comra show Dodgers nothing, Philly's nothing.
Both pitchers are pitching one hitters in the sixth inning.
Dodgers win this, they take a huge lead to nothing
in the best of.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Five, so they could wrap it up here.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
If they win tonight, they could wrap it up a
stadium and move on to the National League Championship Series,
and if they win that, they're off to the World Series.
They have to win thirteen games from the end of
the season, thirteen games to win the World Series. So
far they've won three. Ten more to go. And then
(21:17):
you and Bellio, myself, Crozier, Sam, whoever else is here, Richie,
Nikki can all have brookers here. We can all have
a party again at Dodgers Stadium. Yeah, all right, let's
get back to Burbank Airport. This is gonna cause a
lot of people, a lot of headaches and a lot
of confusion. And we don't know what's going on. We
(21:39):
don't know whether they're gonna delay flights cancel flights. But
there's gonna be an issue staffing the control tower. And
I don't know if it's ground control or if it's
just air traffic control. Let's find out. Maybe it's both.
But there's gonna be a lot of people who are
not gonna be thrilled with or nervous. I should say,
(22:00):
if you're on a flight and the air traffic control
is being done in San Diego, Ah, it's like going
on a carnival ride that's built by Carnes. You don't
quite know for sure if that bolt's been tightened. All right,
let's find out more that Eleana Marino from Channel four
was flying high over Burbank Airport moments ago.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
And we've been listening to their frequency here as they
prepare to handoff duties to SOAKOW, which is an approach
and departure team out of San Diego who will talk
pilots into landing and taking off your at Burbank Airport. So,
as you said, we're just a few minutes away. Now,
this isn't the first time that an airport has done this.
A lot of smaller airports operate this way without a
(22:44):
tower controller, but for it to happen at a larger
commercial airport like Hollywood Wood Burdbank is a little bit
out of the ordinary.
Speaker 8 (22:51):
So we'll see.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
How this does impact flights here at Burbank Airport and
throughout other airports throughout the country, as these staffing shortages
are not just here but nationwide. That is the latest here,
bub Burbank in your shopper for I'm atta Marino.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Oh boy, all right, we're gonna keep an eye on
that all day long for you. So if you're on
your way to Burbank Airport. You may want to check
to see if your flight is going to take off.
All right, the big news in Los Angeles. I couldn't
believe it's even a story, but everyone's talking about it.
The dinosaur has been returned to the bell Air gas
(23:26):
station and oh thank.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
You, thank god. And the same guy that ripped it
off brought it back.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It's a Sinclair gas station in bell Air or Brentwood,
you know where the richies live, and they like their dinosaur.
They it's about three feet high, I don't know, probably
weighs a couple hundred pounds, and it is. It's decorated
for Halloween, of Valentine's Day, Christmas, you know whatever. There's
a protest. It's carrying a you know, pro union sign
(23:55):
or whatever, and somebody stole it. Clear video of the
guys stealing it in the white truck. And then he
brought it back last night and all the kids are thrilled,
just in time for Halloween to decorate this dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
For some reason, this is big news in Los Angeles.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
A popular dinosaur statue that was stolen from outside of
Sinclair gas station has been returned. The statue, named Claire,
was stolen last week. This is new surveillance video of
the statue being returned to the gas station on San
Vicente Boulevard in Brentwood early this morning. It was found
covered in a blanket with a note that read quote,
I'm sorry I took the dinosaur. Please don't press charges.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
All right.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I thought that the name of that dinosaur was Dino.
I don't know when they changed it to Claire. Maybe
that dinosaur had a sex change, just that one.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Do dinosaurs do? Do dinosaur
statues have sex changes? The statues?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
They don't think so, not the statues. Hey, isn't it
easier for us, dude, change the sex of a statue.
I mean you just do it, you know, burn it, chisel,
depending on which way you're going. Yeah, I mean you could.
You could do it overnight, you know, no therapy or anything.
You just just need either glue or right, had a wiener,
cut a wiener. But you can do pretty quickly. But
I thought it was Dino the name of that statue.
(25:12):
Now it's Claire. Yeah, odno, yeah, right, yeah, like but
I don't know. I'm confused.
Speaker 11 (25:18):
The employee who discovered the dino says Claire is a
popular staple.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Okay, so she did call it a dino like short
for dinosaur, but I always thought that was the name
of it.
Speaker 11 (25:27):
The employee who discovered the dino says, Claire is a
popular staple of the community and kids like to take
pictures with it.
Speaker 9 (25:34):
It's the celeary because usually.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
When Isa station is gone. Is that different?
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Fall hallow in something like that.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
They put in that costume for Mother's Day, Father's Day,
something like that.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, that's right. They dressed it up for Mother's Day.
I've never seen that before. Dressed up for Father's Day
and Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I don't know. I don't know how you dress up
for Mother's Day.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
They put in that costume for Mother's Day Father's sake.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I think she's missing mixing up some days. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I don't remember the last time they decorated a dinosaur
for Father's Day exactly what him, I don't know. Or
Mother's Day. What do you put on a mother for
Mother's Day? That's not insulting? No apron, you know he
can't give give her a broom.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Or something made out of macaroni room.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I'm saying you can't. You cannot do that because it's
it's offensive belly.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Oh, I'm on your side. I'm a feminist. I'm gonna
stay on high alert. You don't think I'm a feminist.
You don't think I'm a feminist.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I didn't say no. I was getting ready to answer you.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Okay, you think I'm a feminist? Yes, yes, I'm down
for the cause.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
This is video of the dino being stolen. The suspect
appears to be the same person who returned it.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, the dinosaur's bag, all right, Burbank Airports closing down.
All the flights are gonna fly into each other, but
the dinosaur's back. So glad we all covered that.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
All right.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
They're live on channel four there right now.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Let's flip it on real quick, Sammy on channel four
here and see what there if there's any update. I know,
it looks like a Southwest and the Spirit Airline are
about to take off, so that's good news. And then
the Southwest behind that is another. So there's three planes
ready to take off. Let's pop it up here and see.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
We need permission from the tower, and at this point,
without the tower being present, it's unclear how these pilots
know when it is their time to get on the
runway or when it is time for the airport vehicles
like gas trucks to be able to cross over the runway.
So that point that at this point is unknown. But again,
there is no one in the tower now, dude. Staffing shortages.
(27:45):
They plan on having somebody back in here at around
ten o'clock tonight or hopefully sooner.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
But again you and expect to lay here at.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Burbank Airport and other airports throughout the country. That's latest
here from Burbank and News Shopper four. I'm eleon Marino.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know, somebody, I think if somebody's making his statement,
Thanks Sammy. I think somebody's making a statement, because why
wouldn't a guy who's just you know, there, just stay later.
You know, if I was the only guy in the
tower and they're not gonna you know, you're not gonna
replace me after my five hours or so, I'll be like, okay,
we I'll just haang, you know, for an hour or so.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
What the hell?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But that control tower is gonna be empty. But you
know what, I here's the takeaway from that video. The
new Burbank Airport looks beautiful. I don't know if you
saw that, But in the background there, Burbank's doing a
whole new airport. The airport that you know right now
at Burbank Airport will be demolished next year and the
(28:39):
new airport will open and it's going to be spectacular.
It's everything's going to be new. The food's going to
be great, the service is gonna be spectacular. There'll be
plenty of parking. Burbank is going to be the number
one airport in California, the newest airport, the greatest airport
in California. So if you live in Burbank, you got
a nice tree coming man, a brand new airport. All right, Well,
(29:04):
we're gonna keep an eye on this Burbank Airport. Nobody
in the tower, all right, Well, there's more people in
this studio right now than there are in the tower.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
How about that?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
God one person.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, nobody can get hurt here with anything I say.
Yet there's you know, planes that have no nobody in
the tower. I should go to the tower and just
look at my binoculars and go hey, hey, hey, uh
two four eight five, don't cross two four seven three Cross.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
I think I could do that. You know this is
gonna end well, right, yeah, I think I could do that.
I really do. I think I could pull that off
pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
All Right, We're live on KFI AM six forty Dodgers
zero Philly zero. Keep you updated on that score as well.
K if I AM sixty is the Conway Show. The
airport in Burbank is understaffed. And it's not at Hey, Sammy,
there's somebody's mic one, thanks both. It's it's not at
(30:00):
the snackstand. It's not where you buy magazines or you
get a cup of coffee. It's the guy in the
control tower. The number one the most important job at
Burbank Airport is the guy making sure the planes don't
run into each other. It has to be the number
(30:21):
one spot, number one guy. If you take the you know,
maybe there's maybe a thousand people that work at Burbank
Airport on three different ships. You know, you got guys
with luggage, take a takers, baggage handlers, cops, custodians, security,
parking guys. You know, there's probably a thousand people that
(30:43):
get their paycheck from Burbank Airport. And the most important
job is the guy or girl, the man or the
woman in the tower that make sure the plane with
one hundred and fifty four people going to Vegas doesn't
crash into the plane of one hundred forty eight people
coming in from Portland. And he's not there or she's
(31:05):
not there. So Gavin Newsom continued his feud with Donald Trump,
and this goes. This is related to the story after
it was revealed the airport in Burbank, California, went over
six hours without air traffic controllers, and the White House,
(31:25):
then asked for comment by the Daily Mail, sent an
automatic reply putting responsibility for the shutdown on the Democrats,
and of course the Democrats putting it on the backs
of the Republican due to the staff shortage's resulting in
the Democratic shutdown. This is from the White House. The
typical twenty four to seven monitoring of the press inbox
(31:47):
may experience delays.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And sort of bread kind of. I don't know. I
don't know if it was a joke or it was
just stupid.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
But as you wait a response, As you await a response,
please remember this could have been avoid if the Democrats
voted to vote for a clean continuing resolution to keep
the government open, all right, so we'll see what happens.
But without an air traffic without on site air traffic controllers,
(32:14):
the airport's arrivals and the departures, they're going to have
to be managed by somebody, and it's gonna be Traycon
or track con tra Con, a team working out of
San Diego, which already handles much of Burbank's traffic.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Anyway, Oh, I didn't know that. Then why have a tower?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The FA told ABC seven and KFI that it was
working to get staffers to the airport before ten pm
local time. Gavin Newsom continued his feud with Donald Trump
after it's revealed that the airport in Burbank went for
over six hours.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
All right, so that's about it. Yeah, that's the stories.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
So they're going to try to get air traffic controllers
there before ten o'clock tonight. That's the witching hour.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
So let's look up.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I'm going to look up real quickly Bank departure and
see where we are. Okay, Burbank, Hollywood, Burbank departures.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
There's the beautiful airport.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
That's where the new airport's going to be a little
bit north there, and then we have departures. All right,
let's find out, you know, where these flights are going
to be delayed and who's delayed, and so far I
think I think Monks was right. There are some delays,
(33:31):
but they don't say whether these delays have anything to
do whether they were delayed before. Okay, here are the departures,
and let me see. Okay, so there's only one delay
right now. It's going to Sacramento at well and already
took off. Oh no, I see it's delayed. It was
supposed to take off at four point fifty. Now it's
(33:53):
going to be six fifty eight, so two hours and
eight minute delay. If you're on the four fifty to
Sacramento on Southwest Airlines and you're hurrying to get to
the airport, you can slow down. It's a two hour delay.
Then another delay is five point fifteen going to San Jose.
(34:13):
That will leave a half hour laid. So it doesn't
look like there's too many delays so far. It looks
like two minor delays. One two hours and the other
one is literally you know, thirty minutes. And now yeah,
it looks like everything else is either is on schedule
(34:35):
or slightly delayed.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
So it doesn't look it doesn't look horrible.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Let me look at all the departures here even later,
because if you're on your way to Burbank Airport right now,
this is not what you want. This is going to
drive you crazy. Okay, So here are let me see
there's one all right. There are now some more delays
coming in. The Sacramento is delayed for fifty will be
at except almost seven o'clock, and then we have a
(35:02):
five thirty five to Vegas. Well it shall be about
two hours late at seven twenty five. If you're hurrying
to get to the five forty five to Sacramento, that's
going to be at seven forty that's delayed. And also
it looks like all the Southwest are the ones delayed.
Avello Airlines is on time, Alaska Airlines is on time,
and another Southwest delayed San Jose. It's supposed to be
(35:24):
at six ten Now it's six seven to fifty five,
so about a two hour delay there, and then six
thirty five to San Francisco on United Airlines. It was
supposed to be at six thirty six, Now it's going
to be almost nine o'clock, eight fifty one, and then
Oakland at six fifty. That'll be delayed till ten o'clock.
So there are these later flights are delayed. They've even
(35:45):
canceled the Vegas trip seven thirty Vegas. Southwest Airlines to
Vegas canceled, so you have to wait for another fifteen
minutes to find another flight to uh Vegas out of Burbank.
Let's see another one was Phoenix seven point thirty five.
That'll be eleven o'clock tonight, so that's a huge delay.
So there are some significant delays, especially on Southwest Airlines.
(36:08):
Jeff Blue is showing no delays. Net Jets no delays.
It looks like the one that is affecting most people
is Southwest Alaska Airlines is on time. UPS is on time.
FedEx is leaving on time. The FedEx plane, the big,
huge FedEx plane that goes to Memphis, leaves at seven
(36:30):
o'clock every night out of Burbank. I don't know why
I know that, but my buddy of mine, it works
for FedEx, told me that at seven or seven to
ten every night, that big gas plane takes off out
of Burbank and flies right to Memphis, drops a load
and then picks a load UP and comes back to
a Burbank that's on time, and the UPS is right
(36:50):
around the same time, seven seven fifteen, and that big
gas plane leaves UPS. It leaves out of and their
their base I think is Louisville. So on one of
those planes leaves Burbank goes to Memphis, that's FedEx, and
the other is UPS and it goes to Louisville, Kentucky.
And that leaves every night seven to seven fifteen. So
(37:11):
if you're a big fan of plane spotting, you want
to go out there and look at that. All right,
we're live on KFI AM six forty.
