Conway takes a hard look back at the 1992 L.A. Riots (April 29–May 3) — the death toll, the arrests, and how massive it really was. With the anniversary coming up.
Plus, rain is on the way to Southern California.
A fun Super Bowl tie-in: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold’s Orange County roots — and the wild family connection that his grandpa was allegedly one of the iconic “Marlboro Men,” along with why that top-ranked Budweiser commercial is getting so much buzz.
Then things take a strange turn online with a viral (and confusing) death-certificate story making the rounds involving comedian/actress Catherine O’Hara — and more chatter about Pizza Hut possibly closing hundreds of locations.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I was
I just looked this up because we were talking about
the the riots back in nineteen ninety two, and I
was looking, you know, this is quite some time ago.
What is it? Eight and twenty six were coming up
(00:22):
on the thirty fourth anniversary of the Rodney King or
the nineteen ninety two Los Angeles Riots. The nineteen ninety
two Los Angeles Riots, also called, according to Wikipedia, also
called the Rodney King Riots, were a series of riots
and civil disturbances that occurred in Los Angeles County, United States,
(00:45):
during April and May of nineteen ninety two. And then
I looked at how much it was a billion dollars
in damage if that happened to imagine be closer to
five or six billion. But I can't belie leave how
many government agencies they list the government agencies that were
(01:06):
in town that came to town for them, and it's unbelievable.
In the Army, you had the seventh Infantry Division, California
Army National Guard, fortieth Infantry Division, forty ninth Military Police Brigade,
the California Air National Guard, the one hundred and forty
fourth Fighter Wing, one hundred and forty fourth Security Police Squadron,
(01:27):
one hundred and forty six Airlift Wing, United States Marine Corps,
First Marine Division, The FBI was here, United States Marshall
Service was here. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

on and on, California State University, Los Angeles Police Department,
University of Californi, Los Angeles Police Department, County of LA
Sheriff's County of LA Metropolitan Police, and the list goes
on and on and on, and it's unbelievable. Law enforcement
(02:12):
within the Greater Los Angeles area. Long Beach Police Department,
Beverly Hills, Culver City, Burbank, Santa Monica, Compton Police. And
then it lists how many people died. Sixty three people
died in nineteen ninety two, and we're coming up on
the anniversary. It's in I think late April, yeah, late
(02:33):
April and early May, and I could see the exact
date here. I think it was April. I think it
was April twenty ninth. Yeah, April twenty ninth through May
third of nineteen ninety two. And but how many people
Let's do a whip around here, because I didn't get
this number right. How many people you think were arrested
(02:55):
during the nineteen ninety two riots? How many people were rested? Stefos?
How old were you in nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 2 (03:04):

I remember kind of like just seeing the news a
little bit, but I don't really have much memory of
it besides just a little clips.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
How many people do you think we're arrested? One hundred people,
one hundred, Krozier ten thousand, ten thousand, all right, Angel.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Six thousand, alright, belly O eight thousand, all right, Krozier
nailed it. Twelve thousand, one hundred and eleven people. Wow,
I don't remember that at all. I remember a lot
of people walking around with a lot of stuff, but
nobody ever getting arrested. I don't remember anybody getting arrested.
(03:55):
But yeah, twelve thousand, one hundred and eleven people were rested.
A lot of it was maybe afterwards, yeah, because remember
there was a whole the one dude that hit the
what's his normal? Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
They really started to catch up with a lot of
the respites on that stuff, you know video out there.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You know what they did is they they asked the
the garbage men for I don't know what the term
they use nowadays, refuge collection or whatever by garbage man.
They asked them to not pick anything up for a month,
and then LAPD would go around and if somebody had
an old TV on the you know, on the curb
(04:34):
and a couple of couches, they'd go in one they're
going and ask where they got the new one? Where'd
you get that new TV? And a lot of receipts
were missing.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
When I was working in you know when it hit
full force, I was that it was. I was in
Korea Town. I was working at the coast at the time,
and I remember driving in there. We almost got turned
around because we went through an intersection that was on fire,
but we ended up getting in there and we could
see people outside of our window at the building on
the roofs with their guns.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Oh oh, that's right. Yeah, the Koreans.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
And we also saw people on the ground on the street,
on the sidewalk pushing shopping carts full of stuff, including
big as TVs.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh that's wild, Yeah, that's crazy. It started. I was
in Burbank when it started, and I got back to
her Mosta Beach. But I remember, you know, very distinctly.
I called Steckler because he lived off of Crenshaw near
the ten Freeway, and he he had fires burning to
the west of him, the south and the east, and
(05:36):
the only way he could get out was to go north.
And I called him. I said, Hey, are you getting
out of there? And he says, no, I got I
got enough food and supplies here right off to go out,
And I got I got the protection. And I said
what do you got for protection? And he said, true story.
He said, I have a Swiss Army knife on a lanyard.
(05:58):
I said, well, then you're good to go.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
You're tight.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, so with the fork on it and the tweezers
the whole run. Yeah. Oh right, well I think you're safe.
Nobody's safer than you tonight.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
When we got to the UH.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
When we got to the building that day, we replaced
on Coast Brian Simmons, who was doing the afternoons, and
we went into the studio.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
He had a gun sitting on the counter there.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
He picked his up and I put mine down. Really?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, Wow, you went on live, didn't you. Weren't you
the last guy in the building? I was one of.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
The one of the few people left in there. About
four or five people were left in there because they
shut down the stations and we were all going to leave,
and then they called the corporate people in Atlanta and said, hey,
we just shut down our transmitter and we're leave the building,
and Atlanta said, no, you're not.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
So you had was KFI twenty four hours live?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Yes, yes, we were especially Yeah are you talking about
that night?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Absolutely, as was Coast. I stayed over on the Coast side.
The program director at the time atad Hall and the
news director and the general manager at the time were there,
and they actually went on the air to say that
that we were going off the air because we had
we had we were in the middle of it where
our building was, and we had security. But they left
(07:16):
after about an hour because they heard gunshots. Really they
just wow, they walked away.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh my god, so did so. Coast went off the air.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
So we went.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
We were like, we lost our security, we have to
get out of here. And I was part of a
two man team that shut down Coast and the audio
for that. No, I don't know, I need to and yeah,
somebody might.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
But on KFI, uh, the program director and the general manager,
Howard Near and David Hall, they were on the air.
David Hall was run running the board the program director
and Howard Near was talking and he said, due to
what's immediately surrounding our building, KFI is now basically officially
off the air, and David turned off the transmitter. And
(08:02):
David didn't realize that we were in delay at the time.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh no, which.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Means anybody listening you heard everything, but the last ten
seconds of what ow Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They never heard the warning. They heard the.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Danger around our building KF Oh is that wild?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Everybody thought the building was surrounded or on fight Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Channel nine k COW at the time went on the
air and reported that we had been taken over. Oh
my god, and my my fiance. At the time, the
tons of people watched it. They were freaking out. They
were like, oh my God, we're there there and we
had to go buccaneer. I said no, and then we
turned everything back on when we talked to corporate, so
only a few people stayed at that point.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'm going to try to find the hul Houser tape.
But he went out and interviewed people. He's like, where
did you get that TV? Wow? That cookwear? Where did
you get that cookwear? That's not your cook weear.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
On our way to the building we got.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
We ended up in like a little small little shopping
center mall, and they had like a one of the
auto stores, track auto or one of those things. They
had it busted out people going in and out of it.
And I was sitting in the passenger seat and I
had a gun in my lap, and we couldn't move
because there were cars in front of us. And a
guy comes out of steps out of the window of
like the pet Boys or track Auto with an armful
(09:15):
of stuff, walks right up to me and puts it
on the trunk of another car right beside us. And
he looks at me like, you're all right right now,
but you better get moving. And I said, if you
don't step on the gas, I'm going to kill somebody.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
Yeah, it was a scary, hairy time.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I remember going southbound on the four or five to
get home one night, and about seventy five highway patrol
cars passed me with lights and sirens, probably doing one
hundred and fifty miles an hour, and they all came
from northern California. It was wild time. It was like
a really like the wild wild West out here. Well.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
I was probably there for twelve or sixteen hours before
we left that morning. Marking came into that, coming back
in and getting on like Wiltshire and Vermont and all
those right there in the center of things. It was
from twelve to sixteen hours prior to see so many
just cindering lots. You could smell it was nothing there.
(10:10):
Buildings were completely gone. It was just it all caught
up with me. Like a day later. I went home, slept,
and then I just lost it, bald crying for about
an hour. It was incredibly emotional.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, that was a and you weren't out here that much.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Tomorrowstening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We have some interesting information here that Balio just gave me.
NFL quarterback Sam Darnold. He just won the Super Bowl
last night with the Seahawks. His grandfather is Dick Hammer.
Dick Hammer. Is that name ring a bell for anybody?
That was the Marlboro Man. Dick Hammer was a rancher
(16:29):
and an actor who feature was featured in Marlboro television
commercials and print ads during the nineteen sixties and seventies.
The Marlboro Man. That was his grandfather. It's amazing, what
a connection. And we have a Southern California connection with
this guy. Went to school in Orange County and elementary school,
(16:49):
then went to high school in Orange County as well,
and then went to USC, graduated from USC, then went
on to the NFL, played for I don't know three
or four different teams and sort of wandered around. The
Vikings had him. I bet they feel great about letting
him go, and he ended up with Seattle and he
(17:11):
won the Super Bowl. Local kid from southern California wins
the Super Bowl. It's a big deal. That's a big deal,
all right. The commercials are always what everybody's talking about.
Bellio showed me the Budweiser commercial for some reason I
missed that, you know, not a big commercial guy like
(17:32):
watching the game old school, I guess. But that Bellio,
that's a great commercial where the eagle has lost his
parents and the Clydesdale raises that eagle. Is that a
true story?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
It's a true story.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Don't make you tear up it will?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
We have it posted on our socials at Conway Show.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It should make you buy Budweiser, is what it should do.
But I could go check it out on any social
Yes it's not everywhere.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well no, but it's on Instagram and Twitter.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Okay, Instagram and Twitter at Conway Show. Yes, okay, excellent,
great job, Ellio.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Thank you sir.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You get a microphone on your helmet today?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Oh well thanks.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
We always see a lot of celebrities this year, no question.
We saw ensemble cast yet again. But I think another
big one and we'll see this as we reveal the
top three. Here we saw a lot of familiar songs.
Heard those songs really driving narratives throughout these commercials, like
the karaoke one.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
All start saying, yes, we didn't know where it was going.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Okay, let's start with the ad that came in third place.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
First, take a look.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Not the only one, but this can be heavy.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know what this is.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
Here's the thing that I love about Pepsi checking in
it three with.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The ps commercial. Okay, okay, I remember that.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Here's the thing that I love about Pepsi checking in
at three.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
With the choice.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Obviously the USA Today Ad Meter panelists. They were in
on the joke first with the Polar Bears, who are
obviously mascots for another drink brand, and the fact of
the Pepsi Challenge, which is marking its fifty year anniversary.
But then also at the very end of that ad
we see a little nod to the whole Coldplay concert
cam astronomer scandal. And yes, even America was in on
(19:20):
that joke as well. Tako Ytt, who you see in
the ad, he directed it.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Pepsi at number three, so well done, So well done.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
By the way, Number two, I think for a couple
of us might have been our number one.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Wow at the heart strings.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Number two, That's.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
What I've been thinking. It might be time to hang
it up.
Speaker 11 (19:45):
How about one last time together?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
I love to cook.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
We just got a little dusty in there, and I
had lace chip at my super Bowl party.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
There you go, that works out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's kind of a brag. Went out and bought a
very tough chip to get.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And I had lace chip at my super Bowl party.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Just one, just one chip.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
I had lace chip at my super Bowl party.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Everybody splits one one chip.
Speaker 10 (20:20):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
That works out somewhere only we know.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
At the party, I went to, oh man, you you
you hang out some classy uh you know up upscale
high societies.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Did you know it?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And the number one commercial ladies and gentlemen, I think
was this Budwiser Commerfore I.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Go, I'm going to finish this one. Uh my favorite.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I think it's there's a close tie the Budweiser commercial.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Take a look at this one.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, this is more of a visual here, but.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Scree.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And that was the commercial where the baby bird was
raised by one of those Clydesdale.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
And then the leap over the log and the.
Speaker 10 (21:15):
Wing and the wings coming out and skinnered free bird
of course as well. So you got a lot of
things going on here. You got Budwise was celebrating its
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So if you know Budweiser should have done at the
end of that commercial. Instead of having the eagle on
the back of that Clydesdale when they panned back, it
should have been Dylan mulvaney right in that that Clydesdale.
That would have been great. That would have been fantastic.
I think everybody would have found the humor in that,
you know, give Dylan a couple more bucks and have
(21:46):
the my you know, with the big wings on. That
would have been great. If I were Budweiser, if I
was in their ad, you know wing, I would have
suggested that probably would have been home an hour afterwards.
But I think that would have been great. But that
Bellio you picked the greatest commercial. It won number one,
and that's the one you posted. So you're in line
(22:08):
with America. You in America.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Thank you everyone, Thank you. I just want to thank
you all. Thank you.

a major announcement. We're not just telling you that. It
is a big announcement KFI tomorrow, four pm. Right here
on AM six.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Forty you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
We found out what how Catherine O'Hara passed away or
what caused her death. Let me see we can play
the audio here for you.
Speaker 12 (23:21):
I'm Jovan Alta live from ABC seven. We're learning new
details about Catherine O'Hara's death. According to her death certificate,
she died of a pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer listed
as a secondary factor. The seventy one year old beloved
actress died on the morning of January thirtieth at Saint
John's Health Center in Santa Monica. Paramedics were sent to
(23:41):
her Brentwood home after she experienced difficulty bringing.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Very sad story a terrific woman. Everybody enjoyed her. One
of the funniest people in show business and had great
success for many decades. Many decades in show business. She
will be missed. In other news. I went to pizza
last night after the game, got a pizza, and then
(24:06):
I learned today that they might be going out of business,
might be closing two hundred and fifty locations, hopefully not
mine on Magnolia near Hollywood Way. I love Pizza Hut.
Speaker 11 (24:19):
Of an era for the red roof Pizza Hut. The
chain plans to close two hundred and fifty underperforming locations nationwide.
That's about three percent of its US footprint as it
shifts away from big dining restaurants.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Unbelievable. They've been here forever since I was a little kid.
Speaker 11 (24:35):
That Pizza Hut has not released a closure list yet,
but there are thirty seven locations in San Diego County,
raising questions on which ones will survive.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Stephush, You strike me as a man that knows where
your local, your nearest Pizza Hut is? That is that true?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I know three of them, God Almighty, So it just
depends on how quickly I want to get my food
and how often do you get Pizza Hut. I haven't
had Pizza Hut in a while, but I would say
over under about you know, maybe once a month. You
know what's great is their personal pan pizzas. Yeah, that's
always been a staple. I love it. One it's nostalgic,
(25:11):
and two it's just good.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And it's cheap. Yeah. I think it's four ninety five bucks.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Oh, it's fantastic. Have them last night with Pepperoni. Enjoyed them.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
It's parent company, Young Brands. Has it not returned our
request for comment.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
I remember Pizza Hut used to be like the Family Dinings.
That's right, back in the nineties. But now that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yes, it's the best Pizza Hut.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
And that's part of the problem Pizza Hut.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Pizza Hut wings are sensational. Man, they're wings. I get
them bone in with my medium buffalo. You cannot beat that.
Speaker 11 (25:43):
Pizza Hut built its identity around big dining restaurants. Rival
Dominoes is thriving with smaller, delivery focused stores. At the
same time, more customers are ordering through apps and choosing fast,
casual or local pizza spots instead.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
The consumers are really stressed right now. They've been hit
with inflation and that has affected their buying power.
Speaker 11 (26:03):
Allan Jin is an economics professor at the University of
San Diego and says Pizza Hut is feeling the same
cost pressures as other chains, making it harder to profit
from large, labor intensive dining stores.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, lose the dining stores. This one I go to
on Magnoia is just take out only, and it's great.
The people work there awfully nice. They get their order
right every single time. And that personal pan pizza. I
got one from me once my daughter last night. I
don't know, I'm eight o'clock or so, and it was
eleven dollars out the door eleven Bucks. And I don't
know if they do it at yours, but mine they
still do the old school where once if like you're
(26:36):
going to pick it up, they'll just turn around, open
it up and make sure that that's your that's your order.
They check it.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yes, I love love, I really enjoy that.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
The cup of food has gone up considerably, and wage
costs also have gone up for rest fots.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I told you that if you increase these wages for
all these kids that are getting these entry level jobs.
Sure they have a couple more bucks in their pocket,
but a lot of restaurants closing, a lot of jobs
are going away too.
Speaker 11 (27:02):
Jin says fast food is not cheap anymore and prices
are now much closer to fast casual.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
The categorys are getting kind of blended now, but the
prices have just narrowed, and so people might be opting
for a higher level experience.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Still, Pisahead all the way.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yes, I'm with that, dude. I like that. Guya the
Pizza Hut all the way. That's a great.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
Guy, pisa Head all the way.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
Fans are hoping their local pizza hut too.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Bun Bring piecea hadback.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Prereached out to fast food workers at Union here in
California for a comment on how these closures could impact
the workforce, but have not heard back.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
All right, Minute Made. Remember those frozen like cans of
Minute Made that your mom and dad got, or your
mom got from the supermarket and they just add water
and it's a beautiful drink. That's going away too.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Minute Made is discontinuing. It's frozen canned juices. Remember this stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh it's a great man. You pop those can open.
Put a gallon or half gallon of water in and
Bob's your uncle.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Product has been around eighty years.
Speaker 11 (28:06):
Customers would add water to the frozen counts to create
juice in a picture.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
Parent company Coca Cola says it's continuing the product to
focus more on fresh juices.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Oh no, it's happening to this world. I don't know,
all right, Pizza Hut not doing well, and then my
frozen juices are heading south. It's going on. I'm gonna
have nothing to eat anymore. Nothing, all right. We've got
a big announcement coming up at four o'clock tomorrow. It
will affect you the listener, will I will tell you them.
(28:39):
And so we're all very excited about the announcement. We're
what twenty one hours away from the big announcement. Twenty
one hours away and you will hear the announcement. It
will be made by myself, by John cole Belt and
Paul Corvino who runs iHeart West Coast and he's in

Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio
app
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I was
I just looked this up because we were talking about
the the riots back in nineteen ninety two, and I
was looking, you know, this is quite some time ago.
What is it? Eight and twenty six were coming up
(00:22):
on the thirty fourth anniversary of the Rodney King or
the nineteen ninety two Los Angeles Riots. The nineteen ninety
two Los Angeles Riots, also called, according to Wikipedia, also
called the Rodney King Riots, were a series of riots
and civil disturbances that occurred in Los Angeles County, United States,
(00:45):
during April and May of nineteen ninety two. And then
I looked at how much it was a billion dollars
in damage if that happened to imagine be closer to
five or six billion. But I can't belie leave how
many government agencies they list the government agencies that were
(01:06):
in town that came to town for them, and it's unbelievable.
In the Army, you had the seventh Infantry Division, California
Army National Guard, fortieth Infantry Division, forty ninth Military Police Brigade,
the California Air National Guard, the one hundred and forty
fourth Fighter Wing, one hundred and forty fourth Security Police Squadron,
(01:27):
one hundred and forty six Airlift Wing, United States Marine Corps,
First Marine Division, The FBI was here, United States Marshall
Service was here. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
Border Patrol SRT BORTAC, the Federal Bureau of Prisons was here.
(01:48):
Drug enforcement, California Highway Patrol, the State Patrol. It goes
on and on, California State University, Los Angeles Police Department,
University of Californi, Los Angeles Police Department, County of LA
Sheriff's County of LA Metropolitan Police, and the list goes
on and on and on, and it's unbelievable. Law enforcement
(02:12):
within the Greater Los Angeles area. Long Beach Police Department,
Beverly Hills, Culver City, Burbank, Santa Monica, Compton Police. And
then it lists how many people died. Sixty three people
died in nineteen ninety two, and we're coming up on
the anniversary. It's in I think late April, yeah, late
(02:33):
April and early May, and I could see the exact
date here. I think it was April. I think it
was April twenty ninth. Yeah, April twenty ninth through May
third of nineteen ninety two. And but how many people
Let's do a whip around here, because I didn't get
this number right. How many people you think were arrested
(02:55):
during the nineteen ninety two riots? How many people were rested? Stefos?
How old were you in nineteen ninety two?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Five? Four or five? Wow? You don't remember that then?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
To you?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I remember kind of like just seeing the news a
little bit, but I don't really have much memory of
it besides just a little clips.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
How many people do you think we're arrested? One hundred people,
one hundred, Krozier ten thousand, ten thousand, all right, Angel.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'm gonna go with six thousand.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Six thousand, alright, belly O eight thousand, all right, Krozier
nailed it. Twelve thousand, one hundred and eleven people. Wow,
I don't remember that at all. I remember a lot
of people walking around with a lot of stuff, but
nobody ever getting arrested. I don't remember anybody getting arrested.
(03:55):
But yeah, twelve thousand, one hundred and eleven people were rested.
A lot of it was maybe afterwards, yeah, because remember
there was a whole the one dude that hit the
what's his normal? Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
They really started to catch up with a lot of
the respites on that stuff, you know video out there.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You know what they did is they they asked the
the garbage men for I don't know what the term
they use nowadays, refuge collection or whatever by garbage man.
They asked them to not pick anything up for a month,
and then LAPD would go around and if somebody had
an old TV on the you know, on the curb
(04:34):
and a couple of couches, they'd go in one they're
going and ask where they got the new one? Where'd
you get that new TV? And a lot of receipts
were missing.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
When I was working in you know when it hit
full force, I was that it was. I was in
Korea Town. I was working at the coast at the time,
and I remember driving in there. We almost got turned
around because we went through an intersection that was on fire,
but we ended up getting in there and we could
see people outside of our window at the building on
the roofs with their guns.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Oh oh, that's right. Yeah, the Koreans.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
And we also saw people on the ground on the street,
on the sidewalk pushing shopping carts full of stuff, including
big as TVs.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Oh that's wild, Yeah, that's crazy. It started. I was
in Burbank when it started, and I got back to
her Mosta Beach. But I remember, you know, very distinctly.
I called Steckler because he lived off of Crenshaw near
the ten Freeway, and he he had fires burning to
the west of him, the south and the east, and
(05:36):
the only way he could get out was to go north.
And I called him. I said, Hey, are you getting
out of there? And he says, no, I got I
got enough food and supplies here right off to go out,
And I got I got the protection. And I said
what do you got for protection? And he said, true story.
He said, I have a Swiss Army knife on a lanyard.
(05:58):
I said, well, then you're good to go.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
You're tight.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, so with the fork on it and the tweezers
the whole run. Yeah. Oh right, well I think you're safe.
Nobody's safer than you tonight.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
When we got to the UH.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
When we got to the building that day, we replaced
on Coast Brian Simmons, who was doing the afternoons, and
we went into the studio.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
He had a gun sitting on the counter there.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
He picked his up and I put mine down. Really?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, Wow, you went on live, didn't you. Weren't you
the last guy in the building? I was one of.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
The one of the few people left in there. About
four or five people were left in there because they
shut down the stations and we were all going to leave,
and then they called the corporate people in Atlanta and said, hey,
we just shut down our transmitter and we're leave the building,
and Atlanta said, no, you're not.

news director and the general manager at the time were there,
and they actually went on the air to say that
that we were going off the air because we had
we had we were in the middle of it where
our building was, and we had security. But they left
(07:16):
after about an hour because they heard gunshots. Really they
just wow, they walked away.

Oh my god, so did so. Coast went off the air.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
So we went.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
We were like, we lost our security, we have to
get out of here. And I was part of a
two man team that shut down Coast and the audio
for that. No, I don't know, I need to and yeah,
somebody might.
Speaker 7 (07:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
But on KFI, uh, the program director and the general manager,
Howard Near and David Hall, they were on the air.
David Hall was run running the board the program director
and Howard Near was talking and he said, due to
what's immediately surrounding our building, KFI is now basically officially
off the air, and David turned off the transmitter. And
(08:02):
David didn't realize that we were in delay at the time.

Channel nine k COW at the time went on the
air and reported that we had been taken over. Oh

tons of people watched it. They were freaking out. They
were like, oh my God, we're there there and we
had to go buccaneer. I said no, and then we
turned everything back on when we talked to corporate, so
only a few people stayed at that point.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'm going to try to find the hul Houser tape.
But he went out and interviewed people. He's like, where
did you get that TV? Wow? That cookwear? Where did
you get that cookwear? That's not your cook weear.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
On our way to the building we got.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
We ended up in like a little small little shopping
center mall, and they had like a one of the
auto stores, track auto or one of those things. They
had it busted out people going in and out of it.
And I was sitting in the passenger seat and I
had a gun in my lap, and we couldn't move
because there were cars in front of us. And a
guy comes out of steps out of the window of
like the pet Boys or track Auto with an armful
(09:15):
of stuff, walks right up to me and puts it
on the trunk of another car right beside us. And
he looks at me like, you're all right right now,
but you better get moving. And I said, if you
don't step on the gas, I'm going to kill somebody.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
That's crazy.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
Yeah, it was a scary, hairy time.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I remember going southbound on the four or five to
get home one night, and about seventy five highway patrol
cars passed me with lights and sirens, probably doing one
hundred and fifty miles an hour, and they all came
from northern California. It was wild time. It was like
a really like the wild wild West out here. Well.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
I was probably there for twelve or sixteen hours before
we left that morning. Marking came into that, coming back
in and getting on like Wiltshire and Vermont and all
those right there in the center of things. It was
from twelve to sixteen hours prior to see so many
just cindering lots. You could smell it was nothing there.
(10:10):
Buildings were completely gone. It was just it all caught
up with me. Like a day later. I went home, slept,
and then I just lost it, bald crying for about
an hour. It was incredibly emotional.

We have some interesting information here that Balio just gave me.
NFL quarterback Sam Darnold. He just won the Super Bowl
last night with the Seahawks. His grandfather is Dick Hammer.
Dick Hammer. Is that name ring a bell for anybody?
That was the Marlboro Man. Dick Hammer was a rancher
(16:29):
and an actor who feature was featured in Marlboro television
commercials and print ads during the nineteen sixties and seventies.
The Marlboro Man. That was his grandfather. It's amazing, what
a connection. And we have a Southern California connection with
this guy. Went to school in Orange County and elementary school,
(16:49):
then went to high school in Orange County as well,
and then went to USC, graduated from USC, then went
on to the NFL, played for I don't know three
or four different teams and sort of wandered around. The
Vikings had him. I bet they feel great about letting
him go, and he ended up with Seattle and he
(17:11):
won the Super Bowl. Local kid from southern California wins
the Super Bowl. It's a big deal. That's a big deal,
all right. The commercials are always what everybody's talking about.
Bellio showed me the Budweiser commercial for some reason I
missed that, you know, not a big commercial guy like
(17:32):
watching the game old school, I guess. But that Bellio,
that's a great commercial where the eagle has lost his
parents and the Clydesdale raises that eagle. Is that a
true story?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
It's a true story.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Don't make you tear up it will?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
We have it posted on our socials at Conway Show.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Check it out.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It should make you buy Budweiser, is what it should do.
But I could go check it out on any social
Yes it's not everywhere.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well no, but it's on Instagram and Twitter.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Okay, Instagram and Twitter at Conway Show. Yes, okay, excellent,
great job, Ellio.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Thank you sir.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You get a microphone on your helmet today?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Oh well thanks.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
We always see a lot of celebrities this year, no question.
We saw ensemble cast yet again. But I think another
big one and we'll see this as we reveal the
top three. Here we saw a lot of familiar songs.
Heard those songs really driving narratives throughout these commercials, like
the karaoke one.
Speaker 11 (18:27):
All start saying, yes, we didn't know where it was going.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Okay, let's start with the ad that came in third place.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
First, take a look.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Not the only one, but this can be heavy.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I don't know what this is.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
Here's the thing that I love about Pepsi checking in
it three with.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The ps commercial. Okay, okay, I remember that.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Here's the thing that I love about Pepsi checking in
at three.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
With the choice.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Obviously the USA Today Ad Meter panelists. They were in
on the joke first with the Polar Bears, who are
obviously mascots for another drink brand, and the fact of
the Pepsi Challenge, which is marking its fifty year anniversary.
But then also at the very end of that ad
we see a little nod to the whole Coldplay concert
cam astronomer scandal. And yes, even America was in on
(19:20):
that joke as well. Tako Ytt, who you see in
the ad, he directed it.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Pepsi at number three, so well done, So well done.
Speaker 10 (19:29):
By the way, Number two, I think for a couple
of us might have been our number one.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Wow at the heart strings.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Number two, That's.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
What I've been thinking. It might be time to hang
it up.
Speaker 11 (19:45):
How about one last time together?
Speaker 8 (19:51):
I love to cook.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
We just got a little dusty in there, and I
had lace chip at my super Bowl party.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
There you go, that works out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's kind of a brag. Went out and bought a
very tough chip to get.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And I had lace chip at my super Bowl party.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Just one, just one chip.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
I had lace chip at my super Bowl party.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Everybody splits one one chip.
Speaker 10 (20:20):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
That works out somewhere only we know.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
At the party, I went to, oh man, you you
you hang out some classy uh you know up upscale
high societies.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Did you know it?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And the number one commercial ladies and gentlemen, I think
was this Budwiser Commerfore I.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Go, I'm going to finish this one. Uh my favorite.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I think it's there's a close tie the Budweiser commercial.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Take a look at this one.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, this is more of a visual here, but.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Scree.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And that was the commercial where the baby bird was
raised by one of those Clydesdale.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
And then the leap over the log and the.
Speaker 10 (21:15):
Wing and the wings coming out and skinnered free bird
of course as well. So you got a lot of
things going on here. You got Budwise was celebrating its
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So if you know Budweiser should have done at the
end of that commercial. Instead of having the eagle on
the back of that Clydesdale when they panned back, it
should have been Dylan mulvaney right in that that Clydesdale.
That would have been great. That would have been fantastic.
I think everybody would have found the humor in that,
you know, give Dylan a couple more bucks and have
(21:46):
the my you know, with the big wings on. That
would have been great. If I were Budweiser, if I
was in their ad, you know wing, I would have
suggested that probably would have been home an hour afterwards.
But I think that would have been great. But that
Bellio you picked the greatest commercial. It won number one,
and that's the one you posted. So you're in line
(22:08):
with America. You in America.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Thank you everyone, Thank you. I just want to thank
you all. Thank you.
Speaker 8 (22:17):

on AM six.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Forty you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
We found out what how Catherine O'Hara passed away or
what caused her death. Let me see we can play
the audio here for you.
Speaker 12 (23:21):
I'm Jovan Alta live from ABC seven. We're learning new
details about Catherine O'Hara's death. According to her death certificate,
she died of a pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer listed
as a secondary factor. The seventy one year old beloved
actress died on the morning of January thirtieth at Saint
John's Health Center in Santa Monica. Paramedics were sent to
(23:41):
her Brentwood home after she experienced difficulty bringing.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Very sad story a terrific woman. Everybody enjoyed her. One
of the funniest people in show business and had great
success for many decades. Many decades in show business. She
will be missed. In other news. I went to pizza
last night after the game, got a pizza, and then
(24:06):
I learned today that they might be going out of business,
might be closing two hundred and fifty locations, hopefully not
mine on Magnolia near Hollywood Way. I love Pizza Hut.
Speaker 11 (24:19):
Of an era for the red roof Pizza Hut. The
chain plans to close two hundred and fifty underperforming locations nationwide.
That's about three percent of its US footprint as it
shifts away from big dining restaurants.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Unbelievable. They've been here forever since I was a little kid.
Speaker 11 (24:35):
That Pizza Hut has not released a closure list yet,
but there are thirty seven locations in San Diego County,
raising questions on which ones will survive.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Stephush, You strike me as a man that knows where
your local, your nearest Pizza Hut is? That is that true?
Speaker 5 (24:50):
I know three of them, God Almighty, So it just
depends on how quickly I want to get my food
and how often do you get Pizza Hut. I haven't
had Pizza Hut in a while, but I would say
over under about you know, maybe once a month. You
know what's great is their personal pan pizzas. Yeah, that's
always been a staple. I love it. One it's nostalgic,
(25:11):
and two it's just good.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And it's cheap. Yeah. I think it's four ninety five bucks.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Oh, it's fantastic. Have them last night with Pepperoni. Enjoyed them.
Speaker 11 (25:19):
It's parent company, Young Brands. Has it not returned our
request for comment.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
I remember Pizza Hut used to be like the Family Dinings.
That's right, back in the nineties. But now that's right.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yes, it's the best Pizza Hut.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
And that's part of the problem Pizza Hut.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Pizza Hut wings are sensational. Man, they're wings. I get
them bone in with my medium buffalo. You cannot beat that.
Speaker 11 (25:43):
Pizza Hut built its identity around big dining restaurants. Rival
Dominoes is thriving with smaller, delivery focused stores. At the
same time, more customers are ordering through apps and choosing fast,
casual or local pizza spots instead.
Speaker 9 (25:57):
The consumers are really stressed right now. They've been hit
with inflation and that has affected their buying power.
Speaker 11 (26:03):
Allan Jin is an economics professor at the University of
San Diego and says Pizza Hut is feeling the same
cost pressures as other chains, making it harder to profit
from large, labor intensive dining stores.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, lose the dining stores. This one I go to
on Magnoia is just take out only, and it's great.
The people work there awfully nice. They get their order
right every single time. And that personal pan pizza. I
got one from me once my daughter last night. I
don't know, I'm eight o'clock or so, and it was
eleven dollars out the door eleven Bucks. And I don't
know if they do it at yours, but mine they
still do the old school where once if like you're
(26:36):
going to pick it up, they'll just turn around, open
it up and make sure that that's your that's your order.
They check it.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yes, I love love, I really enjoy that.
Speaker 9 (26:44):
The cup of food has gone up considerably, and wage
costs also have gone up for rest fots.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I told you that if you increase these wages for
all these kids that are getting these entry level jobs.
Sure they have a couple more bucks in their pocket,
but a lot of restaurants closing, a lot of jobs
are going away too.
Speaker 11 (27:02):
Jin says fast food is not cheap anymore and prices
are now much closer to fast casual.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
The categorys are getting kind of blended now, but the
prices have just narrowed, and so people might be opting
for a higher level experience.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Still, Pisahead all the way.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yes, I'm with that, dude. I like that. Guya the
Pizza Hut all the way. That's a great.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
Guy, pisa Head all the way.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
Fans are hoping their local pizza hut too.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Bun Bring piecea hadback.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Prereached out to fast food workers at Union here in
California for a comment on how these closures could impact
the workforce, but have not heard back.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
All right, Minute Made. Remember those frozen like cans of
Minute Made that your mom and dad got, or your
mom got from the supermarket and they just add water
and it's a beautiful drink. That's going away too.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Minute Made is discontinuing. It's frozen canned juices. Remember this stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Oh it's a great man. You pop those can open.
Put a gallon or half gallon of water in and
Bob's your uncle.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Product has been around eighty years.
Speaker 11 (28:06):
Customers would add water to the frozen counts to create
juice in a picture.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (28:13):
Parent company Coca Cola says it's continuing the product to
focus more on fresh juices.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Oh no, it's happening to this world. I don't know,
all right, Pizza Hut not doing well, and then my
frozen juices are heading south. It's going on. I'm gonna
have nothing to eat anymore. Nothing, all right. We've got
a big announcement coming up at four o'clock tomorrow. It
will affect you the listener, will I will tell you them.
(28:39):
And so we're all very excited about the announcement. We're
what twenty one hours away from the big announcement. Twenty
one hours away and you will hear the announcement. It
will be made by myself, by John cole Belt and
Paul Corvino who runs iHeart West Coast and he's in
(29:00):
town and he's in studio. That's a big deal. That's
a big deal. So can't tell you right now, but
you'll know by four fifteen tomorrow what's going on on KFI.
All right, we're live, Andy Reesmeier and Ronner next right
here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand
(29:22):
