Speaker 1 (00:26):
Please you see it everyone, Mark tom Yes, guy went
on a cruise, right.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yes, it was an adventure, a wilderness adventure was punctuated
by cruise exactly. It was an Alaskan cruise. I've come
from the wild tim all right, we'll talk about that.
I want to share stories a little bit later.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, alright.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Alex Stone is a Stutley guy.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
He always texts me going, hey, buddy, do I look
better than George Clooney. I'm like, yeah, of course you do.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
What about those photos? Those all?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Right? Southwest air Lines is doing what there I all
the perks, all the reasons that you fly Southwest Airlines
are now going away.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, going down the drain. And it begins tonight.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
So tomorrow begins Southwest becoming just like any other airline.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
That they had said, why we go on Southwest?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
You know, we put up with all the idiots on
Southwest because you get perks.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Because you get bags flying free, and you.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Can cancel, and you can change, you can.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Do some of that.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
But yeah, they had said that they're going to go
assigned seating. They're gonna install an extra leg groom area
up front that you can pay more for be upgraded to.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
And beginning tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
That other stuff is gonna take a while because they
got to install all the new seating and so there's
going to be a while for that. But beginning tomorrow,
really tonight at midnight, any new bookings that you make,
the bags are no longer going to go for free.
If you booked already to go and you know, let's
say Thanksgiving, your your bags are going to go for free.
But anything new book tonight the new dollar figure, and
(01:56):
they gave it to us today of what it's going
to be thirty five bucks for the first bag, forty
five for a second bag.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
That's a big change from two bags free.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, eighty bucks is a huge but and that's eighty
bucks each way, so it's one hundred.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
And and per person. Everything else.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Now, if you have a Southwest credit card, you get
one bag free.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I got that.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
You've got a list, then you've got one bag a
list preferred, you get two bags the higher level of
the elite status, so there's ways around it.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
But do you have the Southwest card?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I do?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, I do too, that's yeah, the lower level one.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I'm not the grand pooba.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Are you an elite tim Alex has the lower one.
I'd have to look at it much.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think I'm guessing your No.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I'm like, I'm like mid mid range, mid range, Like
I didn't know how many levels there are.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
He's got that special one, you know where he shows
up and they're like, you know what, We're not even
going to charge you. Just sit wherever you want, and yeah,
how many of the little bags of mixed do you want?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
They'll give you a you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Know, regular he's looking now, he's literally got his wallet
out looking damn. But I thought that was more popular. No,
I'm just a regular schmuck man. I thought that was cool.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
The thing is that they think that they are going
to make by adding in bag fees, about one point
five billion dollars a year just off of the bag fees,
So it's hard money, you know. For so long they
had turned it down. They claimed that they made more
by bringing in business because of it than they would make.
They do believe, though, in the first year, that they're
going to lose about one point eight billion dollars and
people who run away to go to doors that much. Yeah,
(03:29):
because people are going to say, look, if I'm going
to spend the same amount of money, might as well
go over here where I can have food on board
and a TV screen in front of me in real glass,
and real first class up front and and everything else.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
So they do expect they're going to lose some.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh man, I'm a big fan of Southwest. You know,
I think as a major fan anybody who has kids
in college, because college kids change their plans always up
in the last minute, and they can change it without
getting hit, without the you know, the parents, you know,
getting dinged on their credit card or having to pay more.
And I think that this is, you know, this is
(04:03):
a very sad day for travel. Southwest Airlines was it
was the front runner in our family whenever we book
because they offered so many flights, because they fly out
of Burbank, because the flight attendants and the pilots are
always upbeat.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
But none of that is going to change. It'll be
the same airline in that way.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I know, but but maybe more up be because they
gotta let money coming in. Yeah, but that's not going
to them. It's going to the stockholders. Is where the
money's going. So might have a good time to buy stock.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
That's the thing.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Their price went up today. The investors love this, But
investors and passengers are two different groups. And the investors
are loving it because we've seen Spirit do it where
they've gone more mainline frontiers as well. Coming out of
the pandemic. People want a better experience and the low
cost and ultra low cost hasn't been working well, so
they've had to adapt and become more like the other guys.
(04:55):
But when Southwest is not special any longer, when they
don't have the free bags, when they have seat assignments,
when they have extra leg room upfront, do people still
fly them? If you're going to pay the same amount,
do you stay with them for the culture and the
atmosphere on board, or do you say, you know what,
I'm gonna go over to these other guys where I
can get elite status and get upgraded to first class
and go more internationally than Southwest does and go on
(05:18):
bigger planes and have clubs and ye go to the
United Club or the Delta Club and all that time
will tell. But they say they've got to make this
change because Southwest isn't doing all that well right now,
just like Spirit did and Spare went bankrupt and out
of that.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Now that they've got to make the change, Well.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You're right.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Their stock was up five and a half percent today.
That's a big jump. Yeah, you know, up.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
But how many of those investors are flying Southwest? They're
up in first class at Delta.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah that's none of them, none of them. All right,
Well that sucks, man. How was that Memorial Day? Do
you do anything to remember the truss?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
When I was working yesterday? But it was good?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Hell about you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I went to Low's. I noticed that Low's has a
parking spot for veterans and they decorated every Memorial Day,
which I think is a cool It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I enjoyed that. But I appreciate you coming on and
I'll see you on Southwest.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Sounds good. I'll send you those special photos again to night. Goodbye?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yeah, all right, seleg Stone. Yeah, guys, Dougley Man, it's
a you're right though.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean, one of the great things about Southwest is
you just don't have to worry about changing things or
luggage right in that stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, it's all gone and it was. I mean it
does seem greyhoundish, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yes, yeah, the way you're referred it on with me.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
You know, I've always felt like in life with the
ABC like just in life, I'm like B seventeen.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That's my position in life.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
It's not like you'll still be able to get on
and get your luggage in the overhead compartment, but you're
not going to be one of the first people on,
and you're not going to be right up front.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Right, But do you remember when when we were kids
and you flew the only people that were allowed on
before everybody was first class? Sure, you know first class.
Now it's first class. It's families, small kids, handicap, a
guy with a dog, guy's got a drinking problem.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Seniors and infants, it's active military, it's everybody.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, there's a key.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And peel bit on this where they're about you know,
one of them is not making the announcement, the other's waiting,
and they do that very thing that you're talking about,
and it's just literally, you know, this guy's waiting and waiting, waiting,
and now we'll board everyone and he starts to walk forward,
and I know it's another category, just one after another.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And you do feel that while you're.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Waiting, right, you feel like you're not special.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, even though I bought like I should be Section one,
and still I usually get that upgrade.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
So I'm like, in the first whatever a.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Whatever it is, but use you can buy that upgrade. Yeah,
you can get that out like ten bucks or thirty
bucks or something.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
But I do like Southwest, you know, because you never
have to rush to a Southwest plane if you're going
to Vegas. If you miss you just take the next
one exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That's what I like.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
And I think that's still probably going to be where
they have a ground, yeah, because there's just so many flights.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I hope so. But there does seem to be a yucky,
icky feeling that that that my Southwest perks with luggage
and just the cool people on that airline is going
away and becoming more corporate.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
It's what's happening to the world, Timmy.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I know, I just don't like it. You know, and
it's all about these you know, these rich cats who
are buying and selling stock. You know, they've done great.
I mean, look that stock opened in nineteen eighty seven
for a dollar a share and they've they've held it
together since nineteen eighty five. It opened at a dollar
twenty five a share. Nineteen eighty five, they went public,
(08:38):
and they've been doing great since nineteen eighty five. I
don't understand the you know, the big problem. What is it?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
What is it selling for now?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Thirty three dollars a share? But you know it was
as high as fifty and sixty right after the pandemic.
But I think it's a good stock. I don't know
whether it's a good stock to buy.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I mean, I don't know. I don't understand any of
those numbers other than the ice it's selling for.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Well, and you know these things, you never know, these
external things, how they're offset by internal things and problems
that they're having, staffing, whatever it might be, you know, right.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But I mean, but when I go to buy stock, like,
I don't know what P and E is. I don't
know what average volume, market cap, year range. I guess
I know what that is, the dividend yield, the primary exchange.
I don't know what any of that. Oh, primary exchange
is what exchange they're on. You know, they're on the
New York Stock Exchange. But there's so many you know,
the operating expense, net income versus net profit, margin, earnings
(09:32):
for share, you know, effective tax rate. I mean, it's
very difficult to invest in. You have to know all
that stuff, Yeah, before you put your harder money into it.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Sure, that's why you just got to get that crypto, damn,
and you got to hang on tight.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Or you get a stockbroker, a guy who will invest
for you, which I don't know. If I don't know,
I guess that guy is good. I've never met any
of those guys. You've never Well, you have a stockbroker,
don't you. I don't have a stockbroker. I don't have
a single share of stock in anything that's anything.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Was your dad the same way?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, yeah, he was pretty much the same way. You know,
he made a living, a comfortable living in show business,
and you know nothing in the end, you know, I mean,
you know, well he had a lot of expensive with
all those kids he had, we had a lot of
good times exactly. We were very rich in stories.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Oh my god. Yeah, well I'll just last thing I mentioned.
I was coming over here today to somebody and they
went on and out and out about it. Is that
right about your father? Oh my god, he was a
great He was so great. He was like and they
were kind of funny. You know, they do the thing
where they look up, like thinking back, reflecting, like wistfully
on a simpler time when your dad was on television
all the time.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Anyway, that's a cool deal. I heard a couple of
stories over the weekend. I was at the racetrack yesterday
for Memorial Day and heard some stories I've never heard before.
So it's school's cool.
Speaker 8 (10:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Mark Thompson is here, and that's a cool deal. Fresh
back from Alaska.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
There was a card game at Gary Hoffman's house before
I left.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh would you go?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, it's fun?
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah? It was got wiped out. It was what is that?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
What do you mean you got wiped out? It was
a it was a dollar by it.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Was a dollar two dollars game.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
And that's when guys like me got wiped because if
we're just like shaving all that money and yeah, I
just got did you lose? I think I lost. I
want to say either four hundred or six hundred.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
No way, I thought you were going to say like thirty.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
No no, no, no no. I mean you know, you buy
him for a couple of hundred dollars. Wow. And I
brought I brought my buddy, who's a cop. Uh, Patrick
a current copp X cop, X cop. He was a
a current cops. Can't do that, no, it was he
is an X cop. Sorry, thank you for the distinction.
So there are no current cops playing pokers.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
No you can.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You just shouldn't talk about it on the air. I see,
No he's not. He's retired, okay.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But in fact, his retirement ceremony was really fun. I
went to it. I mean it, what fun is that?
It was like really interesting. He was I E in
the I E yeah, and uh. And so he plays
really well. He's like much better player than even on
my best day I am. And he also lost. So
it was a while because I thought, one, it's okay
(12:17):
for me to lose, but for Patrick.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Was Gary charging for snacks again.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
He was quite.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They had quite the spread later, and I think Gary won.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I'm pretty sure Chris Little's son one.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Did you did you scan the room for cameras.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
For teams? Are they playing teams?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I mean it was so was Chris Little, his son
and Chris Little's wife was dealing, which you're right now
that I think about it, you know, the fix was in.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
You imagine a world where you go to play Polker
with your buddies and you bring your wife and your kid.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, it's it's pretty it's pretty cool, I think, is it. Yeah, Well,
here's the thing the thinking. It's a very it was
a very fun social game.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Look, I love his kids, I love Julie. I'm just
saying if I were to go to my buddy Sean
Murphy's where I played cards occasionally I brought my wife
and my daughter, he'd be like, what's going on with you?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
No, no, no, of course, you know the degenerate scenes that
we frequent, you know, it would probably be inappropriate. But
this was you know, Gary's hosting, it's at his house,
his wife's there.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It was a much more.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Were there people in the pool and drinking?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
No, no, no, no, it wasn't It wasn't cannonballs off the roof.
It was not some back and all scene of you know,
drinking and craziness.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No, it was not. It was very low key.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Who was the big winner though, Chris's kid? I think
Chris little kid, who's a very good card play. Yeah,
cleaned up hyeah.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
But I meant he got a couple of great situations.
But he also played very well. All right, let's talk
about you on this Alaska cruise? What what line did
you go on?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Went on the celebrity line? Tom? I mean, look at me,
probably you know you can imagine I would be on.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Ste Did you have a nice room?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yes, we paid for the up graded room. Okay?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And did you gamble?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yes? I did?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
And how did you do?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
You know this is there's a theme developing here. I
did not I did not win. I mean, I wish
you wouldn't ask how did I? I enjoyed myself. It
was fun.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Did the casino close at a certain hour?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
They closed around two thirty in the morning. It's not
the worst, Yeah it is. It's kind of strange. Yeah, yeah,
you know they.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Go, Yeah, we just let you know we're closing in
ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Right's yeah, because I'm down a gram. But now I'm
on a roll and you're going to close. Yeah, exactly,
that's horrible. Did you go to do you go to
Skagway and see the train?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I went?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I did, my mom. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It was great Skagway and catch.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
A can Sitka and Juno. Oh good knowledge, good knowledge.
I don't know if I should mention this. I'll ask
you about something off the air I went on a Well,
I don't if actually, I think I just I can talk.
We got a hook okay, No, it's legal edibles Okay.
I wanted to try to find them because they don't
let you bring them in. We're flying from Vancouver. Oh wait,
(14:58):
you can't. You can't bring edibles in to Canada.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
No, you cannot. And here's the weird thing.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
There are tons of places to get edibles in cannabis
in Vancouver, in Canada, but for some reason, they don't
let you fly in from America carrying it.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
And they're very serious about it. Apparently, Oh they didn't check.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
So when I got to Canada, I started looking and
I there was a place right across in the hotel
and as I say, in Vancouver, that's where the crew
is left from So I got a bunch of stuff
and I get on board and it's not really very good.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I wasn't happy.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
What a surprise that British Columbia, Canada is not making
the good edibles.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
So I go to ketch a Can and what's.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
An edible up there? Pancakes with maple syrup? Is that
an edible?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
So in Ketcha Can, I got the edibles and they're
actually in the shape of a salmon.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's really that's kind of it's really cool. It's super cool.
So I got a bear out fish. I got that
and it's like a mini salmon. They look like those
little goldfish that you eat.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And then I got some chocolate too at this place.
And I get back on board and I, you know,
chew one and forty minutes later, I'm going, this incredibly great.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
This is another level. It's wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
And so I get back. You know, we're leaving on
a cruise. You're not you can't go back to that place.
Oh yeah, and it's only available. These two things are
products that I just mentioned, only available there in ketch
a Can.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
So you we line up tonight exactly next week on Monday.
So wait, a minute. So when you're high as a
kite on this ship, aren't you afraid of falling over?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
No, it's a great I'm you know, I didn't get
high for thirty years. I'm now I can't stop.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I haven't gotten high since my daughter was born because
I got, I got too paranoid. When I had a
little tiny you know what was it edible or whatever
they those things are and I had a little tiny one,
I got, I got paranoid and I stopped. But I
really didn't those oh man in college. Now, yeah, I know,
(17:04):
but I still am. You know, she's always still when
you have a daughter, she's always four. Sure you know.
Sure I can see that, I really can, and.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
So I I.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But I get too paranoid still when I get too high,
and I don't like that because because I don't enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
There's definitely, you know, it's the human mind, you know,
when you used to get going, your brain and reaction
is different each time. And I must say there have
been times but.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
When I wasn't married and I didn't have kids, and
I used to play poker with guys that smoked weed,
and I had the best effing nights of my life.
Of my life, laughing all night to the point where
I was crying and wetting myself. Yeah, all night long,
and I really miss that.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
The laughter is insane, like how it just takes your
laughter and multiplies the times ten. Yeah, it's hysterical. It
really is a wild Yeah. Now what is that? I
don't know what that is, what chemical in it? What
what reaction I have out of the boy?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I have no idea, but man, it's great.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Really, I'm telling a story and I can't even get
the story. And I'm laughing so hard about you know,
because I know what's coming in the story, and you
know me, that's not me.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I'm gonna tell you a great pot story when I
come back from a friend of mine who used to
be with the regular guys, Larry Wax of the regular Guys.
I was with him the first time he got high,
and I gotta tell you a story when I come back,
how he hot boxed them and how he got super
high at the forum in watching a King's game. It
was a great This is a good story.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Forty and we've got some crime to get to and
I got a pretty good story for you, but I
will say this. They opened PCH over the weekend for
the first time since the big fires on January seventh,
and between January seventh and last Friday, there was zero
car accidents in Malibu on PCH the portion that was
(18:55):
closed or restricted this weekend. I'm a friend out there.
Talked to a cop, one of the sheriff's deputies out there,
and he said he personally went to seven of them
over the weekend. Jeez, So people are back to being
a holes.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, it's a dangerous road for sure.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They've done everything they can to address a lot of
the danger, but you can only do so much.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
The speed limb is twenty five and people are flying
by going seventy sixty seventy miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, speed its forty five.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I think I'm pich, Well it's twenty five. Where is
it twenty five now? But it was since the fires. Oh,
I see, it brought it all down to twenty five.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I haven't seen it. I haven't been out.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah, and I think it's still twenty five. Well, then
that is even more inexplicable. How do you have seven
accidents and you're going everybody should be going twenty five.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's it's unbelievable that, you know, the people get right
back the very first weekend, they got right back into
the a holes that they were.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
All right, tell me the story about the rod Okay, right?
This great.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So I was with Larry Wax, was the half of
the regular guys. He used to work at Kala Sex,
very popular show, and he never got high in his life,
and I, you know, I dabbled in it, but I
wasn't the go to guy. But I was with somebody
that was. And we all went to a King game
and he said he's gonna stay in the car and
(20:12):
hot box himself. He's gonna roll the windows up, smoke
pot in the car and hot box himself. So I said,
I'm not sticking around for that. I don't want to
get busted. It's still illegal to do. I'm going to
go into the game. I went into the game with
my buddy and I Larry Wax. We don't see him
the whole first period. He's just had he has a
ticket and he's sitting next to us, and we don't
(20:34):
see him for the whole first period. And I don't
get nervous because he's high. He's probably passed out in
the car. The whole second period, I don't see him.
We don't see him until the beginning of the third period.
And he has a box of nachos, two beers, and
two hot dogs, and he's walking around, laughing his ass
off around that promenade day and I finally see him
(20:57):
and I go, hey, Larry, and he's laughing so hard
he barely see me. And he crawls up to the stairs,
crawls up to our seat. We're up in the promen
up in the upper deck, and he puts the seat
down unknowing that it not knowing that it spring loaded,
and he puts his beers and his nachos on the
seat and he lets it go and it flies into
(21:17):
the guy behind us. Beer and nachos everywhere, and he's
laughing his ass My god, to the point where cops
come and pick him up and throw his ass out.
He was literally in his seat for five seconds before
they threw his ass out. And you know what, We
finally he found the car. He was at the car
when we got there. You're still laughing, and he goes, Buddy,
(21:40):
this is the greatest night of my life. He was
thrown out, he missed the game, he didn't eat his food,
he didn't drink his beer, he didn't have his nachos,
he didn't have his hot dogs. And it was the
greatest night of his life.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Oh that's his vest.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And I think after you have a night like that,
you take off and you enjoy those evenings, you know,
doing that.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yes, that's very funny.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Joe Rogan. We used to have Joe Rogan on our
show all the time. He come in like once a week,
and he was very anti drug He got down on you.
He had to talk with you if you were doing drugs,
saying it's you can ruin your life. It's going to
kill you. It's gonna do all that stuff. And then bang,
one day he smoked a joint and it's off to
the race. It happens just like that. Yeah, it really
(22:24):
is true. And as I say, I hadn't done it
for decades. And then wow, it's unbelievable. All right, let's
get back to Malibu. Here, the crime in Malibu, they're
very worried about it, and now they're hiring private security
and Malibu to keep these homes safe from well.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Guys like us behind Malibu City Hall this temporary command
post as the National Guard moves out of the area.
Speaker 10 (22:46):
New support moving.
Speaker 9 (22:47):
In with bch reopen to the public and fire damaged
homes sitting vacant or lots strewn with bird debris, new
fears for fire victims.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Obviously, the concern is looting.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
Scott Deetry rambler Pacific Go home is still standing but
uninhabitable until he gets approval from insurance to clean it.
People like him are why the city of Malibu just
hired twenty four to seven armed private security.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, they have the money to do that. It's going
to cost them two hundred and fifty grand for a month.
Speaker 10 (23:14):
To help patrol fire ravaged areas.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
Unfortunately, neighborhood center damaged by disasters frequently become a target
of thieves.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Isn't that incredible than in twenty twenty five that that
statement is true.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Unfortunately, neighborhood center damaged by disasters frequently become a target
of thieves.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's incredible. I mean, people are people, right, Yeah, I
guess some I.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
Guess some city officials say private security will work with
the La County Sheriff's Department, which does have increased patrols
in the area too, but can't do it all.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
We have twenty one miles of coastline. We're going into summer.
It's just not possible for them to be everywhere at once.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
So these dots will represent where the officers are currently patrolling.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
The company called Covered six has four patrol units, all
marked vehicles and a dedicated supervisor. Also using technology like
this camera that monitors the road into the badly damaged
area of Big Rock.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
So they're going to put four cars in Malibu and
think that's going to take care of the problems.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
So that any vehicle or pedestrian that walks in the area,
we're able to see who they are, and if there's
any suspicious activity, we commutely.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Go out in.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Their main goal is to deter crime.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Looting is probably the biggest issue that we're concerned with,
especially as construction ramps up and then nefarious people will
come in and take advantage of that situation, possibly to
steal items from construction sites.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
This man who stores his valuables in a garage on
Los Flores favors the move.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
I think it's an excellent idea.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The money is going to be well spent. There's already
lots of transience.
Speaker 10 (24:46):
And for Scott Dietrich.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Absolutely I've supported it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I think the council understood that those homes that are
still standing without many people living there are very much
at risk.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
That's true. That's true. Well, the first week in Malibu
and everybody's back to just you know, a holary. And
it wasn't just Malibu. Did you see that? You know,
there's parties going on in downtown LA, all over Hollywood
in these big, huge, unused, vacant warehouses and there's like
a thousand kids and the cops come in and break
(25:18):
it out because it's you know, it gets unruly. And
then these kids go out on the street and they
target and tag everything. They're tagging all the shopping centers,
the cop cars, the buses, the trains, and they're going crazy.
I think this is going to be a tremendously uneasy
summer in Los Angeles. You think it'll just be one
mayhem because I think people are broke. I don't think
(25:40):
anyone really, you know, sees it. If you're a kid
and a house is two million dollars, you don't see
yourself every owning a house. And if you don't have
a house, you have a wife or a husband and kids.
You never see yourself as part of the American dream
and so you just say screw it, you know, and
you're gonna go crazy. And there's and there are a
(26:01):
lot of parents who aren't doing enough parenting on these
kids as well.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
That yeah, there's a lot of these problem a lot
of these taggers.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I don't think that they I think you make a
great point when you talk about trittle, like they don't
feel like they have a vested interest in society, you
know what I mean. And so I think maybe you're right,
that's underlying everything. But they're not thinking about, you know,
anything but having fun when they're tagging, and they're not
thinking about that they buy.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
A house or I get it.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I get it, But man, we are not ready for
the Olympics when crap like this is going on. We
got people robbing in Malibu, we got the big, huge
parties down in downtown LA. We've got a lot going
on in LA and we need to control it before
the Olympic is getting You're right, and they're on their way,
you know, it's a next year, will be two years
away from the Olympics, you know, in seven short months,
two years away from the Olympics, two years coming, goes
(26:48):
like that, comes to go like that and will be
banged into what you know.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Well, if you're Harry lou.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Retton police police officer or retired cop, I think there'll
be a lot of work for you.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I think you're right.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You're great.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI
AM sixty ton.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Joe Mark Thompson is here. Yes, sir, I read this
story online that a lot of people are rethinking they're
electric vehicles. You have electric veal, your early adopter of
electric vehicles. Are you still going to get an electric car?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I am doing that the next week or two.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You're the real deal when it comes to you know,
vegan and saving power and water and and helping dogs.
I mean, you really are the real deal, dude. Thank you,
you know.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I mean it's confus The whole electric thing is confusing.
But I'll tell you one thing I do appreciate about
the electric vehicle thing, because there when I say it's confusing,
meaning the batteries, the disposal, the effect on the environment,
you know, you can play that out. So like the
sourcing of those minerals that go into with the battery,
that that effect on the environment becoming catches fire. Yeah, well,
(27:57):
I mean there's that, but but I'll tell you just
to get away from the exhaust man.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
That that stuff that we breathe all the time. It's
just brutal.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
So you know, remember when Jay Leno came in and
he said, you know these old cars, they that exhaust
like you know that whole run And I was for
Jay Leno's law and all that stuff. I think it's
going to pass and Sacramento, but man, was I against it.
This weekend I was at the Starbucks and a guy
pulled up a I don't know, nineteen sixty five something
(28:25):
and he and it sat on the curb and all
that exhaust came into where I was sitting, and everybody split.
Everybody went and side.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
It's brutal.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And so I think everyone's going to die because of
Leno's law. Well, the when you're in a parking lot,
I think the whole state's can what was Leno's law
againing remind me? You know that old cars should should
not have to conform to that's right, Yeah, that's right,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So because he doesn't want to get any of his
cars retrofitted with THISMG.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well he's he may be right, guy, He may be
right about the the retrofitting thing. But I think the
idea that new cars should I mean there should be
the less pollutants in the air, the better.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
That's right now?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Anyway, Okay, all right, there's a kid. There's an Einstein
kid in Chino Hills. There's a boy out there. I
don't know how old he is. We'll find out here.
Who has Einstein level IQ? How about that? How about this?
Speaker 11 (29:18):
While most of us are still playing checkers, eight year
old Landing Castillo is already mastering chess at three?
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Right, how old is this kid?
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Eight?
Speaker 11 (29:27):
Still playing checkers? Eight year old Landing Castillo is already
mastering chess.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Wow at three.
Speaker 12 (29:34):
I taught him how to play chess, and he beat
both of us at chess at three years old. He
was also doing double digit in ath wow at the time.
Speaker 11 (29:41):
From an early age, Andrew and Jennifer Castillo noticed their
son was a quick learner and had a gift for
solving puzzles.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Ground car needs to get out? So how can you
get out?
Speaker 11 (29:51):
In September, the second grader was given an intellectual test
and the results were jaw dropping.
Speaker 10 (29:57):
Is in the ninety nine percentile.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
So you're in shock and in all. When Landon's parents discovered,
you know, my mom and dad said that to me.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
They laid me that on me one year, they said,
you're in the top ninety nine percent of the smartest
people in California. I'm like, oh, that's kind of cool.
And they're like, no, that's not that great. You're in
the top ninety nine percent. I'm me go, I got
I got a ninety nine. No, no, no, you're in the
top ninety nine percent. Does that mean only one percent smarter?
Speaker 7 (30:27):
Me not.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That doesn't mean that at all.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
And that's the problem. You don't understand that.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (30:33):
When Landon's parents discovered their son had tested in the
top one percent for.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Intelligence, that's what you need, the top one percent. That's
a smart kid.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
It confirmed what they already knew that they had a
genius on their hands. To give you an idea, Landon's
IQ of one hundred and fifty nine puts them in
the same range as Albert Einstein.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Wow, how about that?
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Too bad?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
AI's around because that'll sort of yeah, it's like I
don't really need this anymore.
Speaker 11 (31:01):
Whose score is estimated around one hundred and sixty.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
We have a local Einsteine that's been eight years old
eight years old.
Speaker 11 (31:10):
Earlier this month, Landon was accepted into the Mensa Honor Society,
the oldest and largest high IQ society in the world.
Speaker 13 (31:18):
There may be fun enrichment activities that kids can get
to do together with other kids who are like them.
As kids get a little bit older, we have some
national programs that can sort of help boost their academic resume.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
They got to watch this kid. If he gets bored, man,
I could be a naval genius, you know. It could
use his brain to become.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
The ruler of the world.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Fully people, this is the kid here, This is the genius.
It's like fully people who are smart, and it's like
challenging and you gotta plan.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Things while his parents are proud.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
What did he say, elented youth, It's like fully people
like furry people. Is that what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
It's like he speaks in code. He speaks in the
high i Q code.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I guess it's like furry people who are smart, and
it's like challenging.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
A new got to plan things.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
He doesn't put all the words in order. You have
to supports to sort them out. If you're not smart
enough to sort them out.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
After listening to that, I might be a genius.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
While his parents are proud, they also feel the weight
of such an exceptional mind.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Wait, now, bring in the kid who's really smart.
Speaker 12 (32:35):
Intelligent child? You know, how do we give him everything
that he needs?
Speaker 11 (32:40):
As for Landon, he's a regular kid who is able
to nurture his curiosities with activities and adventures. He dreams
one day it will take him to space as an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Wow, that Checknique, it's a good kid. Congratulations to that genius. Man.
That is wild, especially in La you know area filled
with dopey people. You see him every day. You'd buddy
you experience of every day.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
