Michael Monks joins with insight on L.A. County’s declining population and a surprise update out of Kentucky. The conversation shifts to pop culture with news of Bowen Yang potentially leaving SNL, a shoutout to Las Culturistas, and Conway throwing a flag during a spirited Costco debate—including where the largest Costco is and whether Torrance holds the crown. The episode wraps with timely advice on how to avoid heart attacks during the holiday season.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app oh
Ding Dog with Everybody. And this is the Friday before Christmas.
It's the last Friday before Christmas. Tomorrow's the last Saturday,
(00:20):
then the last Sunday. So you have this weekend to
get out to the mall, go to Walmart, go to
second hand stores. If that's your move to get your wife,
your son, your daughter, your friends, your family that's special
gift that they don't need, and this is your last
(00:40):
opportunity to do that. So you have the mall tonight,
Costco tonight till late thirty, Costco tomorrow, I think till
six thirty or seven. Saturday hours at Costco are always funky.
But if you go to Costco tomorrow at around noon,
you should bring your bail bondsman with you. You're gonna
(01:03):
need him because you are going to attack somebody because
you can't. You won't believe how many people will be
in Costco tomorrow. There won't be any carts left, There'll
be lines of forty people or more. Crap will be
flying off the shelves and people will be pissed. The
free samples will be sliding around and you're gonna have
(01:27):
to carve out three hours if you're gonna go to
Costco three hours. And then that doesn't even take an
account to an account of how much time it's going
to take you to find a parking spot. They've got
big ass parking spots at Costco, which I like. They're
always prepared for the van or the suv or the truck. Right,
everyone's always coming in with a lot of a car
(01:49):
into Costco. But you're gonna be driving around Costco's parking
lot for probably a forty minutes until you find a spot,
and then you're gonna have to look for a cart.
If you find a card on the way to Costco,
on the way to the entrance, take it. Don't assume
they're gonna have carts they're waiting for you. And then
you are going to be astonished tomorrow by how many
(02:14):
people will be in your way when you're traveling around Costco.
It is going to be epic. And I might do
it just for the fun, you know, just to see
the craziness in there. That sounds like a good idea.
I actually might do that, just get into Costa and
cart arks will be out. So oh is that right?
Oh good? Okay, your cart back into the cart corral,
(02:35):
that's right, or else you're going to get caught. And
if you get caught on video with cart arcs, that
will live forever on the internet. And he's local. He's
not a guy who's doing this in Houston or Miami
or Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
He's local.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And what's his name? The guy does the cart nark
Seabas we had at mon the show before d dude.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, he came out to Smart and Final.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, he was a great guy to come out. There's
Yesh Bass. That's real name, Sea Bass. What's the history
on that? Dude? That's his real name? Sebastian. Okay, that
makes sense. I thought it was like an ocean thing.
That's kind of more boring than I thought it was
would be. Yeah, I could. I understand why you shortened
(03:23):
it though. You know, you don'tt be known as Sebastian,
you know why. That's really like you introduced somebody and go, hey,
what's your name? I'm Sebastian, what you yourself?

He's a track guy.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And years ago I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
And look, I don't even think they run dogs anymore.
I don't think they run them anywhere in America, you know.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I hope not.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Why is that?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Because it's not good?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Why would that be there?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Okay, Well, all of a sudden you've turned on. It's
huh odd, it's really bad for the dogs.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Nice and mild. We've seen numbers in the seventies there,
like a seventy six in Santa Karita seventies and Ontario
to beaumonta salm springs.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
All right, we know what it is. We lived today.
Where's the ring at the beach?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Well again you might expect kind of cloudy. There were
showing sixty five at ox started at the moment TIMPs
in the sixties Forere, Redondo Beach, Huntington Beach, as well
as sixty two Santa Monica with those somewhat cooler towns,
but still in the seventies, seventy one, seventy three for
Van Eyes and for Burbank. Right now it's seventy four
for Covina. So TAM's starting to come down a bit.
Then they change rapidly. And yes, rain coming for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
At the end, rain coming for the holidays, all.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Right, that's classic, he buried the lead. Rain is coming
and there's a lot of it. It's a ton of rain.
And I know we got a good take a break here,
but I'm just gonna tell you real quickly. I'm gonna
give you some stats here so you can, you know,
turn into another station during the break. But here it
is for Wednesday, ninety five percent chance of rain in
(08:40):
southern California, three to five inches of rain, three to
five inches of rain over all of southern California, maybe
six to eight inches of rain in the mountains. This
is a major storm coming and it's going to wipe
out all your plans on Christmas Eve. You're gonna be home.
(09:03):
You're not going anywhere. You're gonna be worried. The trees
are coming down. Get the sand bags ready, get the
quick dams ready. It's coming a lot of rain. It's
raining for twenty four straight hours, three to six inches
everywhere in southern California. So be prepared. You've already heard
about it here on KFI. Now spread the word.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Michael Monks joins us Hi, you, Bob.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
I'm happy to be one of the remaining people in
La County like you.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
That's a wrap. Are you taking any time off?
Speaker 9 (09:38):
I will work Monday and Tuesday, okay, and then I'm
off Christmas Eve, Christmas and the day after okay.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Do you know the weather for starting next Tuesday. It's
not looking good horrible.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
So I'm holding up in the loft in downtown La
Good for you, and I don't want to be bothered.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
What floor are you on?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm on the third floor. Oh you're fine. Yeah, we're
completely safe.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah. How many floors in the building I've in? The
building I live in? Is there an elevator? There is
end steps and I could jump. Okay, there's a billboard
right next to the window. I could jump on that
scale down if I need to go. It's on the billboard.
You know.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
It changes, but right now various law firms. Sweet James,
he's been on there, The Law Brothers have been on there.
A lot of the familiar faces listeners have been on
that billboard. It's crazy when they change it very early
in the morning and they shine a very bright light
into my apartment.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh, it's horrible. It's you know, it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Christmas out here a little different than Kentucky, huh.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
I find it to be a bit disjointed, you know,
Like I live in the city center, and you would
think a major city like Los Angeles would have some
sort of Christmas flare about it. But and it does.
But you have to put it all together. Union Station,
by the way. I don't know if anybody gets a
chance to get down there. It looks beautiful at night.
Oh yeah, all lit up, and the trees are lit up,
(10:58):
the lights well above the top of the building.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
They're gorgeous. I drive past it every night on my
way home.
Speaker 9 (11:03):
Pershing Square looks kind of utimize They've got a California
Plaza looks really great. The block where the Macy's used
to be down there, that's all. What of that looks nice?
But there's three at city Hall exactly. But there's no
like cohesive walk to all of those things where you
were staying in the holiday spirit. So that's what I've noticed.
It takes a lot of effort to take in Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Here. Can I ask you a Kentucky question?
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Then we'll do the popular you know, I anticipate when
I come on to talk about the news that we're
going to spend half the segment talking about the Bluegrass state. Okay, Okay,
there's a there's a county called Elliott County. I don't
know if you're familiar with it. In Kentucky. They have
a very interesting connection of politics.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, they've voted Democrat, that's it since eighteen seventy two
in every election until until Donald Trump. That's right, and
so there was sometimes let me read you some stats here.
Seventy percent. These are over the years, seventy percent, seventy
five percent, seventy percent, sixty five, sixty eight, eighty percent,
(12:01):
seventy two percent. These are all for Democrats sixty eight percent,
eighty four percent was the highest. What year was that?
In nineteen thirty two? Then it's we're tough in Elliott
County a night, so they were all in on FDR.
Then nineteen forty eight, eighty three percent, eighty six percent,
in sixty four, eighty percent, in seventy six all for Democrats,
seventy one percent, ninety two, seventy percent in nineteen two
(12:25):
thousand and eight, and then Donald Trump wins seventy percent
of that county, sixty percent and seventy percent. How the
hell does that happen? And even President Obama carried Elliott County,
he did by a very slim portion, and he lost
a lot of counties in Kentucky that had historically continued
to Kentucky is considered a red state now, but it
(12:46):
had been a Bellweather state, Oh yeah, through the nineties.
It wasn't until George W. Bush that it became solidly Republican.
But there were still a lot of counties in Kentucky
that remained kind of blue. But how does it go
Democrat so heavily and then so heavily for Donald Trump?
Speaker 9 (13:03):
It seemed because I lived there at the time, of
President Trump's election and then his defeat in twenty twenty
to watch this, we can't say that they can't. One
of those billboard law firms are gonna get involved. There
(13:23):
was a connection to President Trump among my neighbors in
Kentucky that he just seemed to be speaking their language.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Really wow.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
And I don't think it had as much to do
with any particular policy as much as it was just
their anger at the system. It was a burn it
down moment in twenty sixteen. I think for a lot
of people the Clinton's bill Clinton carried Kentucky two times
in ninety two, was that right, and in ninety six
he's the last Democrat to carry the state.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
But by the time Trump.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Rolled in, there were only two or three county that
went Democrat at all. Louisville and Lexington's counties are the
only ones, that's interesting that still go that way. I'm
from an area that had been Republican in Kentucky for
a long time, but more of the like traditional Mitt
Romney type Republicans, and all of the counties in eastern
(14:17):
Kentucky where the coal mines are, those were Democrat all
the way through the nine Union, but then the policy
interests changed from economics and jobs and union and labor
and that sort of thing to identity politics.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
And and getting rid of the coal mines and have
them learned to program.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Wish they haven't done. That's right. It is the poorest
place in America. Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is that the beginning of the Appalations there, they're right
in the middle the appalations north to south or from
Georgia all the way up to New York.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
It's part of the Appalachians that you think of when
you think of Apalachia.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But that's the west side of the Appalation. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Okay, all right, let's get into the La County is
losing population.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Yeah, I guess everyone's going to Kentucky to live in
Elliott County.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Shocker.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
Yeah, well it's not just La County. Your buddy's in
Orange County. You might have play status. They're also losing population.
The California Department of Finance released its report this year
and noted that La County is still the most populous
county in the state by far, but it also saw
the largest decline oh boy, in twenty twenty five. They
(15:26):
say that it was partly due to the impacts of
the wildfires. Yeah, that's probably back in January. And a
significant decrease in what they call international migration. Ah, I
guess that's so a little bit less of that going on, right,
and a lot fewer How.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
How many people did we lose?
Speaker 9 (15:44):
Los Angeles population as of July one was estimated at
nine million, eight hundred and sixty seven forty five souls,
and that was down about zero point twenty nine percent.
It was really about a decline of twenty eight twenty
seven and a half thousand people that have left Los
Angeles County. Now, Orange County is the third most populous
(16:06):
county in California, and it happened to lose population as well,
though not as much. Last year, the population was three million,
one hundred seventy four thousand, five hundred and sixty five.
That's down about fourteen hundred people.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Here's what I think happened. People left LA to move
to Orange County because they wanted a better life, and
the traditional Orange County people saw that and split. That's
why both of them.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Law.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
Do you think the Orange County people moved to Elliott County?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think the Orange County people probably moved to Oceanside,
San Diego. There are they're headed south. That crew.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Riverside County had a increase.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
You think they might have gone that way. They might
have gone to Riversidbury County's population was up more than
five thousand people. That's my people out there, the Inland Empire, man.
I love those people out there. I like it out
there too. I like Riverside. I like San Bernardino as well,
but it's too hot. It is hot, but it does
remind me of the Midwest out there. Yeah, you know,
big streets, you know, kids on bikes. I've tried to
(17:06):
figure out where my family would be from if we
had lived our lives similarly, but had originated in southern
California instead of northern Kentucky. And I'm not exactly sure.
Where would you place a middle class, white Catholic laborer
family Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, I think that's right. I would say the Inland
Empire's grit. I think that would have I think that's
the I think it's the Inland Empire. I think we're
from the Ie. That's the move out there. Buddy, Thanks
for coming in Saturday seven and nine. You'll be live.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
I will be live and we will have a lot
to talk about, and we'll also have some interesting conversations
about how to navigate the holiday stress, how to deal
with holiday grief, and how to be friendly to your
disabled neighbors who you can still invite to your parties
even if you're a little concerned about how to accommodate them.
(18:00):
Special Holiday program in the back half of the Michael
Monks Reports show for.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
People with disabled neighbors.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
Well, let's say you've got a disabled friend, right, but
you live upstairs and there's no elevator, So what are
you supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Drag them up?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
We'll talk about it on Saturday night. Is that one
of the solutions. I don't think that.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Was offered as a suggestion, but we should always behind
the times. Oh I can bring it up, I'll say,
if we get there, yeah, I would, you know, grab
a couple of people.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
And you know, I've thought about the same I have
a disabled friend who can't come to my place and
go to the roof because you have to take a
flight of steps to fight to steps, and.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I was like, how do you do it?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Can't?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Nah, that sucks. So he's just downstairs hearing everybody else,
just this says a preview for this. You just have
to change what your plan is, okay, or open the window. Yeah,
you can just yell down to them, or or like
Bellio does, just change your friends.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, just look at the billboard.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
We'll be upright theirs Okay, all right, Monks seven to
nine on Saturday We are Live. Thanks Bob.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Breaking news coming out of New York City. Bowen Yang
is not returning to Saturday Live. This Saturday will be
his last show. I know the show is not going
to be same without him. He's been there eight years.
He's done some of the funniest sketches, some of the
funniest parody songs. I probably the best comic ever in
(19:39):
the history of that show.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And he's gone.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I love going.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, I know you do.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Is he going on to movies?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
What's I don't know.
Speaker 10 (19:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I don't know. I think the government took him off
that show. M Yeah, I don't think it was a
decision by who's the guy who runs that show? Al
Michael Michael, j Fox, Lauren Michael and Michaels, Michaels. I
think Loura Michaels wanted to stay, but the you can
only do eight years on national television without making people laugh,
(20:12):
and then the government takes you off. Sorry, sorry, sorry,
I'm sorry, so sorry. That's what I'm reading. It is
not my opinion, that's what I'm reading. So it was
a government pull The government pulled him off the show.
But Bowen Yang is he does a talk show, a
(20:33):
podcast with his buddy Matt Rogers. And you want to
hear how they open their podcast every week let's find out. Okay,
that's the name of his show, Lost Lost, Culturita raised
Us plus and then what comes after.
Speaker 10 (20:54):
That plus cal ding Dong Lost?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What how did that happen?
Speaker 10 (21:05):
Ding Dong Lost culture is calling?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Oh okay. I'm I usually say there's no there's no
connection there, but I'm gonna throw a flag on this
one because he uses the term ding Dong exactly the
way I've heard it at the racetrack my whole life.
And he's not a racetrack guy. There's no way. Bow
And Yang is a guy who when he leaves, you
know he's an off track guy, betting at the track.
(21:30):
There's no way. I bet bow and Yang has never
been on the inside of a racetrack in his life ever,
and yet he uses that term exactly the way people
at the racetrack use it.
Speaker 10 (21:40):
Ding dong lost culture is this calling.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Dog, that's how they say it. The track dig dog.
You know, it's a lot of energy in it. But
that podcast is you don't think that they may have
somebody may have heard it on this show, isn't it?
Isn't it just too close to it? Pretty close exactly
the way I use it here, Dan, I don't know,
(22:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Say you're ding dong ding dog.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Let me see if it's saying dang ding dong dang
is different? I guess ding dong dang. Yeah, maybe right,
it's a little different.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Dig dog. That's mine, that's dang. Yeah, but your dong's longer.
Let's see here, dang.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Ding ding dog, you know as the longest dog is

Even three hundred and the largest Costco as of two
years ago in Salt Lake City was two hundred and thirty.

got to be the world's largest.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's got to be close.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
If it's not, I mean two years ago was it was,
It was less than one hundred thousand. This one, the
one in Burbank is one hundred and fifteen and it's massive. Yeah,
and it's twice as big.

As then in Torrents. That's incredible.
Speaker 1 (27:11):

they're gonna have three hundred and fifty thousand people there
tomorrow buzzing around that Costco. There's a two hundred and
forty one thousand square foot in Fresno. Oh, let's go
to that one. But you've got to you've got to
bring your bail bondsman tomorrow. If you're going, you've got
to get away out of jail when you get into
a fight with somebody, either in the parking lot, at
the food you know, the cafe area with the pizzas,
(27:35):
or at a cashier whatever it is. Or you're dragging
clothes around and the folders are pissed at you. Whatever
it is. There's gonna be fights at Costco tomorrow. Somebody's

Speaker 8 (27:46):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from

(29:09):
dang don All right, we got some more news to
get into here.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
We got time for this.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I think we can do heart attacks, all right? How
you avoid a heart attack over Christmas.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
And New Year's beautiful the sound of good health. But
during the holidays. In twenty twenty two, fifty seven year
old Mario Castro was in trouble.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I was under a lot of stress and I felt
a deep fatigue.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
He went to work anyway, but he couldn't ignore a
strange sensation.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
And I started feeling a small pressure in my arm.
As soon as someone was taking my blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh, here we go.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Mario is an ultrasound tech who just happened to be
near his cardiologist office. Doctor Kevin Arianni at Dignity Elth
Northridge detected blockages in two of Mario's arteries. It was
a full blown heart attack, doctor say, Mario's story is
all too common.
Speaker 11 (30:03):
Christmas Eve, around thirty to forty percent more heart attacks?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Is that right? Do you hear that they don't have?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Ask this?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Everybody hear how many heart attacks are on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 11 (30:14):
Christmas Eve are on thirty to forty percent more heart attacks.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's a lot. That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
And fifteen to twenty percent more heart attacks around New Year's.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
I mean, people party, they eat heavier food, they eat
saltier food.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
They also put off doctor's appointments. Exercise less, sleep less,
drink more, and worry more.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Wow, I am all of those. Let's see.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
They also put off doctor's appointments.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I've done that.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Exercise less, bingo, sleepless, three, drink more, four and worry more.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Five.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
Should be very happy, but people for other reasons are
stressed out.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
The holidays can also be a time of grief, loneliness,
and isolation, which can lead to the press. Another significant
contributor to heart disease.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Down this lady is God, Christ Almighty. People who are
more She's going to give us a heart attack.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
People who are more than seventy seventy five years old,
they suffer more heart attacks during this time.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, no kidding, ninety five year olds.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
To avoid this, Doctor Ariani's advice is to do the
opposite of what you normally would do.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
Moderate with alcohol, moderate with heavy food, try not to
eat salty food, and sleep. Sleep is very important to
discuss and share your concerns with your doctor rather than
waiting for after the holidays.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
For Mario, stress management is.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Key, exercising at least three times a week meditation, which
has helped me cope with the daily stress.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
We all have stress.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Good for you.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Noticing his symptoms outside his doctor's office was a blessing.
Within thirty minutes, they cleared Mario's blocked arteries.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Wow, how they do that?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I got to do that this Christmas.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
He's looking forward to being with family and friends.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
I even got a blessing to eat us. Just a
steak on the Holidays by doctor Yanni.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
In Northridge, Denisa Door, ABC seven. I wit his news.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Is that Bow and Yang doing that show?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Just to steak on the holidays? Jesus, Just to steak
on the Holidays by doctor a Yannie.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Belly laugh over getting a steak. I don't mind it
all right. Well that's where we are in life, all right.
That's the first hour We're live on KFI AM six
forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now,
you can always hear us live on KFI Am six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
(32:44):
on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KMF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app oh
Ding Dog with Everybody. And this is the Friday before Christmas.
It's the last Friday before Christmas. Tomorrow's the last Saturday,
(00:20):
then the last Sunday. So you have this weekend to
get out to the mall, go to Walmart, go to
second hand stores. If that's your move to get your wife,
your son, your daughter, your friends, your family that's special
gift that they don't need, and this is your last
(00:40):
opportunity to do that. So you have the mall tonight,
Costco tonight till late thirty, Costco tomorrow, I think till
six thirty or seven. Saturday hours at Costco are always funky.
But if you go to Costco tomorrow at around noon,
you should bring your bail bondsman with you. You're gonna
(01:03):
need him because you are going to attack somebody because
you can't. You won't believe how many people will be
in Costco tomorrow. There won't be any carts left, There'll
be lines of forty people or more. Crap will be
flying off the shelves and people will be pissed. The
free samples will be sliding around and you're gonna have
(01:27):
to carve out three hours if you're gonna go to
Costco three hours. And then that doesn't even take an
account to an account of how much time it's going
to take you to find a parking spot. They've got
big ass parking spots at Costco, which I like. They're
always prepared for the van or the suv or the truck. Right,
everyone's always coming in with a lot of a car
(01:49):
into Costco. But you're gonna be driving around Costco's parking
lot for probably a forty minutes until you find a spot,
and then you're gonna have to look for a cart.
If you find a card on the way to Costco,
on the way to the entrance, take it. Don't assume
they're gonna have carts they're waiting for you. And then
you are going to be astonished tomorrow by how many
(02:14):
people will be in your way when you're traveling around Costco.
It is going to be epic. And I might do
it just for the fun, you know, just to see
the craziness in there. That sounds like a good idea.
I actually might do that, just get into Costa and
cart arks will be out. So oh is that right?
Oh good? Okay, your cart back into the cart corral,
(02:35):
that's right, or else you're going to get caught. And
if you get caught on video with cart arcs, that
will live forever on the internet. And he's local. He's
not a guy who's doing this in Houston or Miami
or Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
He's local.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And what's his name? The guy does the cart nark
Seabas we had at mon the show before d dude.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, he came out to Smart and Final.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, he was a great guy to come out. There's
Yesh Bass. That's real name, Sea Bass. What's the history
on that? Dude? That's his real name? Sebastian. Okay, that
makes sense. I thought it was like an ocean thing.
That's kind of more boring than I thought it was
would be. Yeah, I could. I understand why you shortened
(03:23):
it though. You know, you don'tt be known as Sebastian,
you know why. That's really like you introduced somebody and go, hey,
what's your name? I'm Sebastian, what you yourself?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
What do you say?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:37):

I say ding dong. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:41):

Speaker 2 (07:27):
I hope not.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Why is that?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Because it's not good?

Why would that be there?
Speaker 3 (07:32):

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Okay, Well, all of a sudden you've turned on. It's
huh odd, it's really bad for the dogs.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
Nice and mild. We've seen numbers in the seventies there,
like a seventy six in Santa Karita seventies and Ontario
to beaumonta salm springs.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
All right, we know what it is. We lived today.
Where's the ring at the beach?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Well again you might expect kind of cloudy. There were
showing sixty five at ox started at the moment TIMPs
in the sixties Forere, Redondo Beach, Huntington Beach, as well
as sixty two Santa Monica with those somewhat cooler towns,
but still in the seventies, seventy one, seventy three for
Van Eyes and for Burbank. Right now it's seventy four
for Covina. So TAM's starting to come down a bit.
Then they change rapidly. And yes, rain coming for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
At the end, rain coming for the holidays, all.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Right, that's classic, he buried the lead. Rain is coming
and there's a lot of it. It's a ton of rain.
And I know we got a good take a break here,
but I'm just gonna tell you real quickly. I'm gonna
give you some stats here so you can, you know,
turn into another station during the break. But here it
is for Wednesday, ninety five percent chance of rain in
(08:40):
southern California, three to five inches of rain, three to
five inches of rain over all of southern California, maybe
six to eight inches of rain in the mountains. This
is a major storm coming and it's going to wipe
out all your plans on Christmas Eve. You're gonna be home.
(09:03):
You're not going anywhere. You're gonna be worried. The trees
are coming down. Get the sand bags ready, get the
quick dams ready. It's coming a lot of rain. It's
raining for twenty four straight hours, three to six inches
everywhere in southern California. So be prepared. You've already heard
about it here on KFI. Now spread the word.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Michael Monks joins us Hi, you, Bob.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
I'm happy to be one of the remaining people in
La County like you.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
That's a wrap. Are you taking any time off?
Speaker 9 (09:38):
I will work Monday and Tuesday, okay, and then I'm
off Christmas Eve, Christmas and the day after okay.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Do you know the weather for starting next Tuesday. It's
not looking good horrible.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
So I'm holding up in the loft in downtown La
Good for you, and I don't want to be bothered.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
What floor are you on?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I'm on the third floor. Oh you're fine. Yeah, we're
completely safe.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah. How many floors in the building I've in? The
building I live in? Is there an elevator? There is
end steps and I could jump. Okay, there's a billboard
right next to the window. I could jump on that
scale down if I need to go. It's on the billboard.
You know.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
It changes, but right now various law firms. Sweet James,
he's been on there, The Law Brothers have been on there.
A lot of the familiar faces listeners have been on
that billboard. It's crazy when they change it very early
in the morning and they shine a very bright light
into my apartment.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Oh, it's horrible. It's you know, it's terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Christmas out here a little different than Kentucky, huh.
Speaker 9 (10:36):
I find it to be a bit disjointed, you know,
Like I live in the city center, and you would
think a major city like Los Angeles would have some
sort of Christmas flare about it. But and it does.
But you have to put it all together. Union Station,
by the way. I don't know if anybody gets a
chance to get down there. It looks beautiful at night.
Oh yeah, all lit up, and the trees are lit up,
(10:58):
the lights well above the top of the building.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
They're gorgeous. I drive past it every night on my
way home.
Speaker 9 (11:03):
Pershing Square looks kind of utimize They've got a California
Plaza looks really great. The block where the Macy's used
to be down there, that's all. What of that looks nice?
But there's three at city Hall exactly. But there's no
like cohesive walk to all of those things where you
were staying in the holiday spirit. So that's what I've noticed.
It takes a lot of effort to take in Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Here. Can I ask you a Kentucky question?
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Then we'll do the popular you know, I anticipate when
I come on to talk about the news that we're
going to spend half the segment talking about the Bluegrass state. Okay, Okay,
there's a there's a county called Elliott County. I don't
know if you're familiar with it. In Kentucky. They have
a very interesting connection of politics.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, they've voted Democrat, that's it since eighteen seventy two
in every election until until Donald Trump. That's right, and
so there was sometimes let me read you some stats here.
Seventy percent. These are over the years, seventy percent, seventy
five percent, seventy percent, sixty five, sixty eight, eighty percent,
(12:01):
seventy two percent. These are all for Democrats sixty eight percent,
eighty four percent was the highest. What year was that?
In nineteen thirty two? Then it's we're tough in Elliott
County a night, so they were all in on FDR.
Then nineteen forty eight, eighty three percent, eighty six percent,
in sixty four, eighty percent, in seventy six all for Democrats,
seventy one percent, ninety two, seventy percent in nineteen two
(12:25):
thousand and eight, and then Donald Trump wins seventy percent
of that county, sixty percent and seventy percent. How the
hell does that happen? And even President Obama carried Elliott County,
he did by a very slim portion, and he lost
a lot of counties in Kentucky that had historically continued
to Kentucky is considered a red state now, but it
(12:46):
had been a Bellweather state, Oh yeah, through the nineties.
It wasn't until George W. Bush that it became solidly Republican.
But there were still a lot of counties in Kentucky
that remained kind of blue. But how does it go
Democrat so heavily and then so heavily for Donald Trump?
Speaker 9 (13:03):
It seemed because I lived there at the time, of
President Trump's election and then his defeat in twenty twenty
to watch this, we can't say that they can't. One
of those billboard law firms are gonna get involved. There
(13:23):
was a connection to President Trump among my neighbors in
Kentucky that he just seemed to be speaking their language.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Really wow.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
And I don't think it had as much to do
with any particular policy as much as it was just
their anger at the system. It was a burn it
down moment in twenty sixteen. I think for a lot
of people the Clinton's bill Clinton carried Kentucky two times
in ninety two, was that right, and in ninety six
he's the last Democrat to carry the state.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
But by the time Trump.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Rolled in, there were only two or three county that
went Democrat at all. Louisville and Lexington's counties are the
only ones, that's interesting that still go that way. I'm
from an area that had been Republican in Kentucky for
a long time, but more of the like traditional Mitt
Romney type Republicans, and all of the counties in eastern
(14:17):
Kentucky where the coal mines are, those were Democrat all
the way through the nine Union, but then the policy
interests changed from economics and jobs and union and labor
and that sort of thing to identity politics.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
And and getting rid of the coal mines and have
them learned to program.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Wish they haven't done. That's right. It is the poorest
place in America. Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is that the beginning of the Appalations there, they're right
in the middle the appalations north to south or from
Georgia all the way up to New York.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
It's part of the Appalachians that you think of when
you think of Apalachia.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
But that's the west side of the Appalation. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Okay, all right, let's get into the La County is
losing population.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Yeah, I guess everyone's going to Kentucky to live in
Elliott County.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Shocker.
Speaker 9 (15:05):
Yeah, well it's not just La County. Your buddy's in
Orange County. You might have play status. They're also losing population.
The California Department of Finance released its report this year
and noted that La County is still the most populous
county in the state by far, but it also saw
the largest decline oh boy, in twenty twenty five. They
(15:26):
say that it was partly due to the impacts of
the wildfires. Yeah, that's probably back in January. And a
significant decrease in what they call international migration. Ah, I
guess that's so a little bit less of that going on, right,
and a lot fewer How.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
How many people did we lose?
Speaker 9 (15:44):
Los Angeles population as of July one was estimated at
nine million, eight hundred and sixty seven forty five souls,
and that was down about zero point twenty nine percent.
It was really about a decline of twenty eight twenty
seven and a half thousand people that have left Los
Angeles County. Now, Orange County is the third most populous
(16:06):
county in California, and it happened to lose population as well,
though not as much. Last year, the population was three million,
one hundred seventy four thousand, five hundred and sixty five.
That's down about fourteen hundred people.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Here's what I think happened. People left LA to move
to Orange County because they wanted a better life, and
the traditional Orange County people saw that and split. That's
why both of them.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Law.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
Do you think the Orange County people moved to Elliott County?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think the Orange County people probably moved to Oceanside,
San Diego. There are they're headed south. That crew.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Riverside County had a increase.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
You think they might have gone that way. They might
have gone to Riversidbury County's population was up more than
five thousand people. That's my people out there, the Inland Empire, man.
I love those people out there. I like it out
there too. I like Riverside. I like San Bernardino as well,
but it's too hot. It is hot, but it does
remind me of the Midwest out there. Yeah, you know,
big streets, you know, kids on bikes. I've tried to
(17:06):
figure out where my family would be from if we
had lived our lives similarly, but had originated in southern
California instead of northern Kentucky. And I'm not exactly sure.
Where would you place a middle class, white Catholic laborer
family Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, I think that's right. I would say the Inland
Empire's grit. I think that would have I think that's
the I think it's the Inland Empire. I think we're
from the Ie. That's the move out there. Buddy, Thanks
for coming in Saturday seven and nine. You'll be live.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
I will be live and we will have a lot
to talk about, and we'll also have some interesting conversations
about how to navigate the holiday stress, how to deal
with holiday grief, and how to be friendly to your
disabled neighbors who you can still invite to your parties
even if you're a little concerned about how to accommodate them.
(18:00):
Special Holiday program in the back half of the Michael
Monks Reports show for.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
People with disabled neighbors.
Speaker 9 (18:06):
Well, let's say you've got a disabled friend, right, but
you live upstairs and there's no elevator, So what are
you supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Drag them up?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
We'll talk about it on Saturday night. Is that one
of the solutions. I don't think that.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Was offered as a suggestion, but we should always behind
the times. Oh I can bring it up, I'll say,
if we get there, yeah, I would, you know, grab
a couple of people.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
And you know, I've thought about the same I have
a disabled friend who can't come to my place and
go to the roof because you have to take a
flight of steps to fight to steps, and.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I was like, how do you do it?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Can't?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Nah, that sucks. So he's just downstairs hearing everybody else,
just this says a preview for this. You just have
to change what your plan is, okay, or open the window. Yeah,
you can just yell down to them, or or like
Bellio does, just change your friends.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, just look at the billboard.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
We'll be upright theirs Okay, all right, Monks seven to

is not returning to Saturday Live. This Saturday will be
his last show. I know the show is not going
to be same without him. He's been there eight years.

funniest parody songs. I probably the best comic ever in

Speaker 10 (19:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I don't know. I think the government took him off
that show. M Yeah, I don't think it was a
decision by who's the guy who runs that show? Al
Michael Michael, j Fox, Lauren Michael and Michaels, Michaels. I
think Loura Michaels wanted to stay, but the you can
only do eight years on national television without making people laugh,
(20:12):
and then the government takes you off. Sorry, sorry, sorry,
I'm sorry, so sorry. That's what I'm reading. It is
not my opinion, that's what I'm reading. So it was
a government pull The government pulled him off the show.
But Bowen Yang is he does a talk show, a
(20:33):
podcast with his buddy Matt Rogers. And you want to
hear how they open their podcast every week let's find out. Okay,

Ding Dong Lost culture is calling?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Oh okay. I'm I usually say there's no there's no
connection there, but I'm gonna throw a flag on this
one because he uses the term ding Dong exactly the
way I've heard it at the racetrack my whole life.
And he's not a racetrack guy. There's no way. Bow
And Yang is a guy who when he leaves, you
know he's an off track guy, betting at the track.
(21:30):
There's no way. I bet bow and Yang has never
been on the inside of a racetrack in his life ever,
and yet he uses that term exactly the way people
at the racetrack use it.
Speaker 10 (21:40):
Ding dong lost culture is this calling.
Speaker 1 (21:43):

(29:09):
dang don All right, we got some more news to
get into here.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
We got time for this.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I think we can do heart attacks, all right? How
you avoid a heart attack over Christmas.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
And New Year's beautiful the sound of good health. But
during the holidays. In twenty twenty two, fifty seven year
old Mario Castro was in trouble.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
I was under a lot of stress and I felt
a deep fatigue.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
He went to work anyway, but he couldn't ignore a
strange sensation.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
And I started feeling a small pressure in my arm.
As soon as someone was taking my blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh, here we go.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Mario is an ultrasound tech who just happened to be
near his cardiologist office. Doctor Kevin Arianni at Dignity Elth
Northridge detected blockages in two of Mario's arteries. It was
a full blown heart attack, doctor say, Mario's story is
all too common.
Speaker 11 (30:03):
Christmas Eve, around thirty to forty percent more heart attacks?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Is that right? Do you hear that they don't have?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Ask this?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Everybody hear how many heart attacks are on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 11 (30:14):
Christmas Eve are on thirty to forty percent more heart attacks.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's a lot. That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
And fifteen to twenty percent more heart attacks around New Year's.
Speaker 11 (30:24):
I mean, people party, they eat heavier food, they eat
saltier food.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
They also put off doctor's appointments. Exercise less, sleep less,
drink more, and worry more.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Wow, I am all of those. Let's see.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
They also put off doctor's appointments.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I've done that.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Exercise less, bingo, sleepless, three, drink more, four and worry more.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Five.
Speaker 11 (30:49):
Should be very happy, but people for other reasons are
stressed out.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
The holidays can also be a time of grief, loneliness,
and isolation, which can lead to the press. Another significant
contributor to heart disease.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Down this lady is God, Christ Almighty. People who are
more She's going to give us a heart attack.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
People who are more than seventy seventy five years old,
they suffer more heart attacks during this time.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, no kidding, ninety five year olds.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
To avoid this, Doctor Ariani's advice is to do the
opposite of what you normally would do.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
Moderate with alcohol, moderate with heavy food, try not to
eat salty food, and sleep. Sleep is very important to
discuss and share your concerns with your doctor rather than
waiting for after the holidays.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
For Mario, stress management is.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Key, exercising at least three times a week meditation, which
has helped me cope with the daily stress.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
We all have stress.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Good for you.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Noticing his symptoms outside his doctor's office was a blessing.
Within thirty minutes, they cleared Mario's blocked arteries.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Wow, how they do that?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I got to do that this Christmas.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
He's looking forward to being with family and friends.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
I even got a blessing to eat us. Just a
steak on the Holidays by doctor Yanni.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
In Northridge, Denisa Door, ABC seven. I wit his news.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Is that Bow and Yang doing that show?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Just to steak on the holidays? Jesus, Just to steak
on the Holidays by doctor a Yannie.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Belly laugh over getting a steak. I don't mind it
all right. Well that's where we are in life, all right.
