Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI AM
six forty. It is the Conway Show. Oh man, we've
got another lunatic in New York City. And as I
was watching the press conference last night around seven thirty
(00:22):
seven twenty five, seven thirty, I'm thinking to myself, Okay,
thank god, there's no LA connection to this kid. There's
always an LA connection. And he's born and raised in La.
He is a mom is from LA. There's always an
LA connection. And when they said Las Vegas, I'm like, touchdown.
At least we're not going to be painted with that
brush again, because we always are connected to this kind
(00:43):
of crap. And then it turns out this kid allegedly
who shot up the you know, the office building in
New York went to Granada Hills. You know who else
went to Granada Hills, John Elway, and we played I
went to Birmingham High School and we played me. I
didn't play, but our school played Granada Hills. And we
have a direct connection to this not that killed you know,
(01:06):
that killed these people in New York. Alex Stone from
ABC News has been on it all night long, Alex Man, Oh, man,
were you shocked to see that close connection? No, he's
not with us. Good setup though, right, And he definitely
did in this one. You can hear me.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Law enforcement here in La always says all roads lead
to La and this one definitely does that.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Wait, man, who says that there are a lot of
cops who will tell you that really out here, it's
not just me, No, not only yeah, brass and the
and law enforcement. But uh, Santa Clarita is.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Where he grew up, and then the Granada Hills and
then moved to to Vegas. And what he claims was
going on in his brain with CTE goes back to
Santa Clarita and Granada Hills of claiming that while he
was playing high school football that that he had brain
injury and so wasn't he.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Examined by doctors and neurologists and say it and they
all said he doesn't have seither.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
There's nothing indicating that he had CT. Now, for a
true CT diagnosis, they've got to explore your brain after
you're dead.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But there's nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And he never played beyond high school, so it's not
like he was in the NFL or even college football.
But New York detectives are flying to Vegas tonight to
work on all of this and execute search warrants and
better understand it. So we know he left his home
in Las Vegas and drove through Colorado. They have evidence
of him driving through Colorado last Saturday, and then they've
(02:36):
got evidence of them in Nebraska and in Iowa. And
then he entered New York City yesterday afternoon about two
hours later, double parked his car, got out and walked
in with that very visible, not hiding it at all,
long gone ar style rifle and then walked into three
forty five Park Avenue and began firing. But there is
a suicide note that explains that he believes that they're
(03:00):
believed that he had CTE and that he was angry
at the NFL and went into NFL headquarters in Manhattan.
But the elevator that he got in was not going
to NFL headquarters. It was going to the thirty third floor,
which was other companies that were up there, and so
he shot in the lobby, then got in the elevator
and began firing. This guy was inside the building from
(03:20):
the building.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Used the CV were running.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That's what it was. People inside the building were saying
they heard someone, They thought someone fell down the stairs,
and then they realized I wasn't just stared with someone.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Shooting a guy.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So tim among those killed. New York City Police Officer NYPD.
They're allowed to do off duty in uniform security, and
he was doing security in the building. He was shot
and killed along with the Wesley Lapatner, an employee at Blackstone,
the investment firm. She was a wife and a mom
of two. There was another security guard killed. There was
an NFL employee who was in the lobby he was shot.
(03:52):
He has a pregnant wife. He's critically injured. But this
twenty seven year old, he had an ar style rifle
more of a military style and then four type rifle.
The NYPD wants to know, based on his background, how
he got it put together and got the pieces of it,
and that there were no flags. It appears that a
co worker at the casino that he worked at in
(04:14):
Las Vegas bought parts of it, but he had a
documented mental health background in Vegas, and the NYPD's saying.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
According to our law enforcement partners in Las Vegas, mister
Timora has a documented mental health.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
History, and the mayor Timys saying it's eerie watching surveillance
video that police have that they haven't put out publicly,
that it shows a woman got out of that elevator
that he got into and he allowed her to walk
out after he had just shot and killed people in
the lobby and like a normal day, she got out,
He got in to go up in the elevator what
ended up being the thirty third floor, and then he
(04:46):
got out and shot more people. That he allowed her
to live for whatever reason, and that they don't know why.
But he had two mental health crisis originally described as holds,
may have been more of interactions with Las Vegas Metro
police in his back ground in Nevada. Again unclear if
that would have flagged if it was on his background
or whatever. For his concealed kerry permit that he had
(05:07):
and guns. We know in Granada Hills and in the
area around it. He had a security guard license in California.
Looks like maybe also security guard public or a private
investigator in Nevada. But a lot they're trying to put
together bullet holes now in the NFL Crest in the
lobby of the building in Manhattan. He wrote in his
(05:27):
note study my Brain. I'm sorry that he believed he
had CTE, but no indication.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He actually, you know, alex Toni's with us, maybe c news.
I wonder if the woman, you know, if she thought
up until yesterday, Oh, how unfair it is to be
a woman on Wall Street or big business. You know,
you leap frogged over by these guys that go right
up to the top. She is never going to complain again,
She's very lucky.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
For whatever reason, he even one of his victims was
hiding behind the security desk, and he went behind that
desk and shot the person who was hiding behind it.
So I mean he really hunted down his victims, and
she walked right by him and he let her live
for whatever reason.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
What do we uh?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
By the way, how is there an NFL connection? He
didn't even played college. It's a good question.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, And for whatever reason, cts his belief that he
had ct He made that connection to the NFL. But
he was never in professional sports. He was never in
college football. From his time in Santa Clarita and Granada Hills.
He believed he got CTE and then blamed the NFL
for it. Yeah, that is uh, because that's a belief
right now. I mean it's still early and there they're
(06:33):
putting it all together.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I am completely shocked that after it was it Brian
Thompson with United Health, he's the guy that got killed
and now this shooting, I am one hundred percent shocked
that they don't have all these floors locked off where
you can't get up there.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, I mean they do in that it took swipe
card access, but somebody must have swiped access to that
elevator and then run when they heard the ran when
they heard the on fire, or he grabbed somebody's badge
and swiped it. That this is In this case, they
had an armed New York City Police officer doing security
and he was shot and killed.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So what more do you do? But these new office
buildings there's you know, something Glendale have been built in
the last you know, five ten years. You have to
have the security guard comes and make sure you ure
the buttons pressed where you're going to your floor. You
can't get off at any other floor. And I think
that is going to have to be a norm in
New York. I think they're gon have to retrofit all
these buildings to allow only access to those floors if
(07:33):
you work there or if you're you know, if you're
a business there. Yeah, I mean they got to figure
it out in some way.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
As security is tightened in a lot of office buildings, it's
still just not enough. Somebody with a weapon of some kind,
if you know, they want to shoot their way in that,
it's hard to stop them.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, I guess so, buddy, I appreciate it. I know
you're late on this story. I really appreciate you coming up. Thanks.
Thanks Alex Stone with ABC News. And it was, man,
what a crazy connection.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I went to Birmingham High School in the valley. This
kid went to Granada. You know, that's that's five six
seven miles from where I went to high school. It's
also in the San Fernando Valley if you live in
the valley. That kid played football right here. Born in Santlorta,
raised in Santa Clarrita, then moved played for Granada again,
(08:22):
so did John Elway. And then John Elway went on
to you know, to play in the NFL with the
with Denver and there's a direct connection. This kid was
amongst us. I think he graduated in twenty fifteen, so
he graduated ten years ago, so he's probably belly. I
don't know if they have an age on him yet.
I imagine he's twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I haven't seen an age yet.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, he's probably twenty seven or twenty eight. If he
graduated in twenty fifteen, that's ten years ago. If he's
seventeen or eighteen when he graduated, he's twenty seven or
twenty eight. Unbelievable. All right, live, let's hip flip on
Channel four Real quick. Ellie is assisting a window washer
an apartment complex.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
He is not injured, but just needs help getting down.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
That's late us. Hear from downtown Los Angeles and he
was chopper for I'm at a marina.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
All right, there's a window washer outside of a high
rise that had some kind of medical situation and the
fire department had to put a hooking ladder and go
up and try to rescue this guy. So lots going on.
Got to keep it on KFI. There's too much news,
you know, during that. Maybe later on after Labor Day
or I don't know, around Christmas. You can turn on
Coast one oh three point five and listen to a
(09:33):
little music but there's way too much news right now,
and so you got to keep it on KFI. There's
dogs dying in Marina del Rey. There's that lunatic shooter
from Granada Hills went to New York and shot people.
There's more crime in the valley. It's getting crazy, it's
gritting crazy. You need to know what's going on to
sell to protect your life, your kid's life, your family's life.
(09:53):
And you might and you got to do it by
listening to KFI.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Rick Dees said one day, I don't know if he
said it on the air or off the air, but
I remember him saying, you know, if you talk about
the weather, they'll never change the station. I don't know
if that's true anymore. You know, because back in the
seventies you only got weather if you listen to the radio,
naging your weather on your phone. You don't need me anymore.
(10:27):
That kind of stings, right, you don't need me anymore,
but you do, you do, because I'm not just looking
at weather here in southern California. I'm looking all over
the country and I've noticed there's a big article in
the La Times. By the way, there's a huge article
about San Francisco's weather. The weather in San Francisco, California.
(10:47):
Beautiful town. You know, they've got a homeless problem, they've
got some issues, but physically probably the most beautiful town
in the United States perhaps the world. You know. And
and we don't get up there enough. You know, people
in southern California, you don't get to San Francisco enough,
and vice versa. The people who live in San Francisco,
(11:07):
the only reason they come down here is to watch sports.
You know, look them down and watch the Dodgers play
the Giants. They'll a boatload of them come down to
watch the forty nine ers play the Rams or the Chargers.
And you know, some will come down and watch San
Jose get the rest kicked by the Kings. And then
fewer will come down because the Warriors will play the
(11:30):
Lakers or the Clippers. But that's really the only reason
that come down. And we don't get up there enough.
But I think people should get up there more. It's
the most beautiful town. Pellyo. How often do you get
up to San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You go up often, probably like once or twice a year.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Really, you get up there that often.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
We have friends up near Oakland.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The last time I was in San Francisco was in
the late eighties with my brother to watch to watch
a baseball game at Candlestick Park. Late eighties Candlestick Park.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
And I was freezing. It was late July, early August,
and I had had a down jacket on and the
wind started whipping around that stadium and I was frozen.
I couldn't believe how cold it was.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So cold it goes right through you too.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, but now I'm you know, and then so San
Francisco has not had this cold of the start of
summer since before you were born, Belli. O, Wow, this
is the coldest summer San Francisco has had while you've
been alive. That's saying something.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That is saying something.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's huge. Yeah, San Francisco has not had this kind
of cold, brutally cold. By the way, summer it's getting
down to the sixties, that's sweater weather, and the nighttime
it gets down the low fifties, sometimes the high forties
up in the you know, the mountains, the hills, and
they've not had this start to a summer since nineteen
(13:02):
sixty five in the month of July. So far, there
hasn't been one day in July in San Francisco where
it's been average or above average. Not one day. And
I'll tell you what the next you know, if you're
going to San Francisco, I'll tell you what the next
couple of days are like. You know, if you want
to know, my daughter's going to slide up there or
go to some kind of I don't country music concert,
(13:25):
but it's going to be sixty five is the high
tomorrow in San Francisco. Then sixty six, sixty eight, sixty eight,
sixty eight, sixty nine, sixty eight, sixty eight, sixty six.
It is not going to reach seventy degrees in San
Francisco for the next ten days and probably beyond that.
And that night, fifty five is the low, except for
(13:47):
one day it's fifty four, so it doesn't very much.
It goes from fifty five to sixty eight all day long.
That's the that's the only variance you get in temperature. Now,
compare that to the Inland Empire down here in southern California,
a big difference. Seventy four is the low in the
(14:08):
Inland Empire. Tomorrow one oh four is the high So
that's thirty degrees, a thirty degree difference. The Iline Empire
is going to experience triple triple digits for the next
ten days. Sorry, I know you're a big KFI fans
out there in the Inland Empire. Hate to break the
bad news, but you probably already knew it. You knew it,
(14:29):
you knew what was going on. The High End Burbank
today eighty six, San Fernando Aley Tamar eighty seven. So
it's gonna be nice. It's gonna be nice. But I
still I don't think I got to get up there
more often. Look, I haven't been there in.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Thirty's surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I haven't been there got almost forty years, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I just never get up up there when she was little. Yeah,
we didn't Lombard Street, no.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Because it started to get hairy when she was born,
you know, with the crime and the craziness up there,
and I didn't really feel like doing that. But I
will say that it is spectacular. It really is. And
Angel do you ever get up there to San Francisco?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh? Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
I do.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's how often you get up.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
I have not been in about three years.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, well that's not often. Then pass, pass on you pass? Oh,
come on, no, pass, it's not often, you say, I
get up there? Off you, I've been there in three years.
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh that was there last week.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Eileen Gonzalez is with us in for Krozier. How are
you doing good? Do you ever get to San Francisco?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You know, it's been like ten years?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Is that crazy?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And it was freezing when I went back then.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, but we live in the same state and nobody
ever goes, And so why are we building this hundred
and one hundred and thirty billion dollar train if nobody
goes anyway?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Just hoping people start going?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Maybe maybe I guess. And what about you, Stephus You
ever get to San Francisco?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I think the last time I was there, I was
like six. This is like a like a hospice show,
you know, just everyone's just laying in a hospital bed,
just waiting to check out. Kind we never get anywhere,
never do anything. We should go as a crew, we
should go up there in a week and do a
week's where the show's up there? Everybody in nothing.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yesterday we ran out of time. On the program. We
were talking about great pizza places, you know, hacking it
up doing hack radio. I'm not above them. And we're
also talking about saves. You know, what's a good safe
to have in your house so people can't run off
with it? And one guy had a good point, maybe
(16:45):
we'll play the audio here that you have to have
a really heavy safe, you know, five hundred pounder, the
one you buy from Costco and it takes four guys
to drop it off, and then you decide where you
want the house and it never moves, it stays in
your house. It's pounds. You're going to have to get
a football team to get it out of there. That's
the kind of safe you want. I wouldn't buy these
(17:07):
smaller ones that you know are easily just lifted and
taken out of your house. That's not a place that
keeps all your valuables safe because the guy's ripping your
place off. Know that you have valuables in your safe,
and if they can take it with them, one guy
can carry it out alone. It's gone. All your jewelry,
(17:27):
your mom's jewelry, your keepsakes, you know, the first tooth
of your firstborn child that you saved. All that's going
to go away in these smaller safes. All right, So
it was pizza and safe Day yesterday. So let's play
some of the talkbacks. I mean, you know, people took
the time to actually leave the talkbacks, so we might
(17:48):
as well play them. And you can leave it if
you just go to our app our iHeart app and
then I find the Conway Show and then press the
red button there and then we will get the audio
that you leave, and sometimes we'll play it on the air.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Pounds say, okay, this guy knows what he's talking about.
This talkback guy.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Uh, don't buy a fifty pounds save right, one hundred
pounds safe. Buy a two hundred and fifty pound five hundred,
one thousand pounds safe. You'll always find stuff to put
in it. You don't want them to be able to
pick it up and walk away with it. You want
them never to use a dolly.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right, That's exactly why. Oh I hope he doesn't end
his with Baye.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
You want them never to use a dolly. And two
or three guys.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Bye, man, Oh my gosh, everybody's with bye. My mom
used to do that annoyed the hell out of all
of us every time she was on the phone. Bye bye,
her mind'spen, My dopey mom. And then she would say
weird things like she would tell her friends, if I
don't see it through the week, i'll see it through
the window. And she died before we ever really understood
(22:07):
what she meant by that. And I looked it up.
It doesn't make sense. She didn't use it properly, but
she said it all the time. But I don't see
it through the week, I'll see you through the window
like what. I don't even know what that means. All right,
when we come back, we have some problems in the
Venice area with dogs. Dogs are dying in the Venice area,
(22:29):
and you're gonna want to find out what's going on
because when a dog dies. You know, back when I
was growing up, when your dog died, you were emotional
about it, but you sort of got over it pretty
quickly because it was an outdoor dog. But now, man,
it can haunt you for five years, ten years. When
your dog dies, it can really devastate you for a
(22:51):
long time. We had to put our dog down, Ernie
last year and I still can't drive past the vet
where we put him down. I have to drive the
long way to get to home depot and I can't
drive by that vet. And it's been eight months and
I still can't do it. It makes me instantly incredibly
(23:13):
sad because I see that vet and I just see
me taking him into that vet, and I can't do it.
Not yet, maybe never, maybe never, certainly not yet.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
We've had an evolution of pets in our life, especially dogs. Again,
when I was growing up, we had a dog named Dolly,
beautiful dog. It was a standard poodle, just the sweetest
dog in the world. But she was an outdoor dog.
She was outdoors all day, all night. We went out
and played with her, but she never came inside. If
she was inside, my mom would yell at us, who
(23:53):
lot that dog in? How right? I should have never
had any of you kids get that dog the hell
out of air. Oh ah, just a dog in the house.
So that that's why people had doghouses. You don't see
doghouses much anymore because your house is the doghouse. But
so belly. When you had a dog when you were younger,
(24:15):
was it an outdoor dog?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
No, it was not.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Maybe in Colorado it's different an indoor dog. Yeah, poodle?
Oh yeah, we had a standard poodle.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
It was big. It was a big ass dog. And
that I was watching Giant Robot. Remember that show, Giant Robot.
Oh it was great. You know, the fingernails came out
where missiles and the Giant Robot would save the day.
I was watching out with my brothers. We heard a
car screech and a dog yelp, and we ran outside
and our dog Dolly got hit by a car, and
(24:44):
so my dad threw us all into his car, all
six kids into his car, and he was racing to
the emergency room. We had the dog in the back
on my brother's laps. Everyone was hysterical, and my dad's
driving down Burbank Boulevard from Magnolia to Sepul. It was
a fairly new road. It would only opened like a
six months or a year ago. And when you get
(25:06):
to Woodley, there's you know, Woodley under Woodley is a waterway,
so it goes there's a little level, it rises like
eight feet and then it goes down eight feet. And
he hit that and he got air. And he's like,
we're in the middle of Supulvta damn airborne and he
has six kids in the car and a dog that's dying.
(25:26):
And even back then, I was only you know, I was,
you know, ten or eleven years old. I'm like, Dad,
you know, you got six kids in the car, nobody's
wearing seatbelts, and you know, you gotta wipe the whole
family out. I think we should, you know, may it
slow down a little bit. And we got to the
you know, the vat the dog didn't make and it
was very sad. And I remember missing a day of school,
(25:46):
but only one day, and you sort of, you know,
got over that dog quicker than you do now. But
now nowadays, your dog dies, you might miss three, four
or five days of work, you might be bedridden for
a while, you might not be able to move on
without professional help. That dog is is every bit a
(26:08):
member of the family or more. You know, when you
have relatives die, sometimes you're not that emotional about it.
You miss them, but you're not really that emotional about him.
When your dog dies, it can it can turn you
into hysterics and paralyze you. So dogs are very important.
Their health is important, you know, keeping them up with
(26:29):
their vet is important. And man, I used to go
to the vet with a dog. I was only the
only guy in town, the only guy in the vet.
Now you go to the vet, you're like fortieth in line.
Everybody is treating their dog like a family member.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Our dog has a dentist and a dermatologist, like.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Your dog as a dermatologist.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, we had to take them to the dermatologists because
a little skin rap. Yeah, he goes to the eye doc.
Here a little bump on his eye. We had to
go to the eye doctor.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh my god. Angel's a good mother too, to Olive, right, Olive,
that's right.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Yeah, she has like regular appointments where she goes in,
she gets her nails trimmed, she'll get you know, little
tech services like that. Okay, and then like like Bellio,
I mean she's my dog's got a little that that
she goes to specifically for her dentle cleaning.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Last I took my dogs, he had to get their
teeth clean. It was sixteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
That's nothing nothing. Mine was like almost three thousand dollars
to have their teeth cleaned. Well, they had to pull
some teeth.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, it's the worst when they get old. All right,
but in Venice there are dogs dying and they don't
know why. You gotta be careful if you're in Venice,
you need to know this information. Again, you can listen
to music with Coast over the holidays. Now you need news.
Your dog could could be killed by just tooling around Venice.
(27:58):
And you need to know that whether you live in
Venice or whether you go to Venice to walk your
dog and bring your dog with you. You need to
know this and this is important important.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
People are extremely concerned around here. We know at least
six dogs have died.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Multiple dogs they've.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Fallen violently ill and it's all happened in the past
ten days. And many are asking is it related to
the canal? Is it a toxin in the area. They
just really don't know right now. Community members are rallying, however,
to spread the word. They put out flyers and they
want people to know that this is happening. They're working
together trying to identify if there's an unknown substance that's
causing the illness or possibly something linked to these canals.
Speaker 11 (28:34):
Or.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
A lunatic in the neighborhood who is tired of the
dog barking and this guy or gal is wiping him out.
I would not put that really far down on the
list in Venice. Sorry, just my experience.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
One homeowner, Ramon Goni and his team have created and
distributed flyers door to door throughout the canals and surround.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Wait, wait, who's doing this?
Speaker 5 (28:59):
One homeownerny Okay, Bradon Gobi and who's he doing with
and his team?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Have wait is a team? What does that mean? And
who's talks like that? Who is a team.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And his team has got a team?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
How is this guy a manager? An owner? Does he own?
The Venice Beach Team.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Created and distributed flyers do you or to door throughout
the canals and surrounding neighborhoods. The flyers include a list
of symptoms vomiting seizures, along with possible causes and tips
to help dog owners keep their pets safe.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
One area, I smell a rat. I'm gonna stay on
high alert. I think somebody's doing this. I don't know.
I've been to Venice. Are some weird cats out there?
I think it's something going on in Venice.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
One area of concern is a house nearby on Ocean
in twenty eighth. They say it was recently treated for ants.
Neighbors reported seeing a white substance around the fence, and again.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
That's usually not it, you know, treating for ants doesn't
really affect dogs like this.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
No one really knows what's causing these illnesses, but there
is just great concern for these pet owners.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It is very concerning. It is I mean, that's a
horrible way to see your healthy dog go out, you know,
getting sick and then dying and you don't know why.
Speaker 11 (30:14):
For every dog owner, especially for the ones that have
lost their dogs. I think the reason why we all
garner it at least fifteen people have incorporated into to
get a lot of things do in the last twenty
four hours, is because we all can connect and relate
to the pain that one goes through when losing a pet.
(30:34):
And it's not just a pet, it's essentially a companion,
it's a roommate, it's a family member. That's right, So
we all want to make those people who lost their friends,
their very friends, feel supported.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And by the way, it's quite often your best friend.
You know you I you know. Years and years ago,
I used to I think that was crazy, you know,
your best friend, and as a dog. Now I think
it's probably the norm. I think the majority of the people,
if you ask the majority of the people, hey, who's
your best friend, I think a lot of would say
(31:09):
their dog. A lot of them would that dog's with you. You know,
your mom is with you. You know, maybe at Christmas
or Thanksgiving or it comes out for the you know,
two weeks during the summer, and maybe you talk to
your mom like Bellio talks to her mom. Every day
on the way home from work. But you're not with
your mom every day. You spend much more time with
those dogs than you do your mom, much more.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Oh yeah, I probably tell my dogs things that I
don't tell my mom. Oh, I'm sure you do, because
I think we vent to our pets.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yes, that's exactly right, Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
And they say that they've collectively come together to get
those lab results from those pet owners and get them
to the city to hopefully find out what's going on
here in vented.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Okay, to recap, we've got a problem in Venice that's
killing dogs. So don't take your until they can straighten
us out. Don't take your dog there and think, oh,
you got a healthy dog, nothing's going to hurt my dog. No, no, no, no,
wait till they straighten us out. Take your dog somewhere else.
And if you live down there, don't take your dog
on the canals until they know what this is because
(32:08):
you can't afford the you know, the psychological damage that's
going to happen if your dog dies. And you've been warned.
So spread the word and let's keep these dogs healthy.
Conway Show, 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
(32:29):
to seven pm 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 apps KFI AM
six forty. It is the Conway Show. Oh man, we've
got another lunatic in New York City. And as I
was watching the press conference last night around seven thirty
(00:22):
seven twenty five, seven thirty, I'm thinking to myself, Okay,
thank god, there's no LA connection to this kid. There's
always an LA connection. And he's born and raised in La.
He is a mom is from LA. There's always an
LA connection. And when they said Las Vegas, I'm like, touchdown.
At least we're not going to be painted with that
brush again, because we always are connected to this kind
(00:43):
of crap. And then it turns out this kid allegedly
who shot up the you know, the office building in
New York went to Granada Hills. You know who else
went to Granada Hills, John Elway, and we played I
went to Birmingham High School and we played me. I
didn't play, but our school played Granada Hills. And we
have a direct connection to this not that killed you know,
(01:06):
that killed these people in New York. Alex Stone from
ABC News has been on it all night long, Alex Man, Oh, man,
were you shocked to see that close connection? No, he's
not with us. Good setup though, right, And he definitely
did in this one. You can hear me.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Law enforcement here in La always says all roads lead
to La and this one definitely does that.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Wait, man, who says that there are a lot of
cops who will tell you that really out here, it's
not just me, No, not only yeah, brass and the
and law enforcement. But uh, Santa Clarita is.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Where he grew up, and then the Granada Hills and
then moved to to Vegas. And what he claims was
going on in his brain with CTE goes back to
Santa Clarita and Granada Hills of claiming that while he
was playing high school football that that he had brain
injury and so wasn't he.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Examined by doctors and neurologists and say it and they
all said he doesn't have seither.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
There's nothing indicating that he had CT. Now, for a
true CT diagnosis, they've got to explore your brain after
you're dead.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But there's nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And he never played beyond high school, so it's not
like he was in the NFL or even college football.
But New York detectives are flying to Vegas tonight to
work on all of this and execute search warrants and
better understand it. So we know he left his home
in Las Vegas and drove through Colorado. They have evidence
of him driving through Colorado last Saturday, and then they've
(02:36):
got evidence of them in Nebraska and in Iowa. And
then he entered New York City yesterday afternoon about two
hours later, double parked his car, got out and walked
in with that very visible, not hiding it at all,
long gone ar style rifle and then walked into three
forty five Park Avenue and began firing. But there is
a suicide note that explains that he believes that they're
(03:00):
believed that he had CTE and that he was angry
at the NFL and went into NFL headquarters in Manhattan.
But the elevator that he got in was not going
to NFL headquarters. It was going to the thirty third floor,
which was other companies that were up there, and so
he shot in the lobby, then got in the elevator
and began firing. This guy was inside the building from
(03:20):
the building.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Used the CV were running.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
That's what it was. People inside the building were saying
they heard someone, They thought someone fell down the stairs,
and then they realized I wasn't just stared with someone.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Shooting a guy.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So tim among those killed. New York City Police Officer NYPD.
They're allowed to do off duty in uniform security, and
he was doing security in the building. He was shot
and killed along with the Wesley Lapatner, an employee at Blackstone,
the investment firm. She was a wife and a mom
of two. There was another security guard killed. There was
an NFL employee who was in the lobby he was shot.
(03:52):
He has a pregnant wife. He's critically injured. But this
twenty seven year old, he had an ar style rifle
more of a military style and then four type rifle.
The NYPD wants to know, based on his background, how
he got it put together and got the pieces of it,
and that there were no flags. It appears that a
co worker at the casino that he worked at in
(04:14):
Las Vegas bought parts of it, but he had a
documented mental health background in Vegas, and the NYPD's saying.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
According to our law enforcement partners in Las Vegas, mister
Timora has a documented mental health.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
History, and the mayor Timys saying it's eerie watching surveillance
video that police have that they haven't put out publicly,
that it shows a woman got out of that elevator
that he got into and he allowed her to walk
out after he had just shot and killed people in
the lobby and like a normal day, she got out,
He got in to go up in the elevator what
ended up being the thirty third floor, and then he
(04:46):
got out and shot more people. That he allowed her
to live for whatever reason, and that they don't know why.
But he had two mental health crisis originally described as holds,
may have been more of interactions with Las Vegas Metro
police in his back ground in Nevada. Again unclear if
that would have flagged if it was on his background
or whatever. For his concealed kerry permit that he had
(05:07):
and guns. We know in Granada Hills and in the
area around it. He had a security guard license in California.
Looks like maybe also security guard public or a private
investigator in Nevada. But a lot they're trying to put
together bullet holes now in the NFL Crest in the
lobby of the building in Manhattan. He wrote in his
(05:27):
note study my Brain. I'm sorry that he believed he
had CTE, but no indication.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He actually, you know, alex Toni's with us, maybe c news.
I wonder if the woman, you know, if she thought
up until yesterday, Oh, how unfair it is to be
a woman on Wall Street or big business. You know,
you leap frogged over by these guys that go right
up to the top. She is never going to complain again,
She's very lucky.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
For whatever reason, he even one of his victims was
hiding behind the security desk, and he went behind that
desk and shot the person who was hiding behind it.
So I mean he really hunted down his victims, and
she walked right by him and he let her live
for whatever reason.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
What do we uh?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
By the way, how is there an NFL connection? He
didn't even played college. It's a good question.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, And for whatever reason, cts his belief that he
had ct He made that connection to the NFL. But
he was never in professional sports. He was never in
college football. From his time in Santa Clarita and Granada Hills.
He believed he got CTE and then blamed the NFL
for it. Yeah, that is uh, because that's a belief
right now. I mean it's still early and there they're
(06:33):
putting it all together.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I am completely shocked that after it was it Brian
Thompson with United Health, he's the guy that got killed
and now this shooting, I am one hundred percent shocked
that they don't have all these floors locked off where
you can't get up there.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, I mean they do in that it took swipe
card access, but somebody must have swiped access to that
elevator and then run when they heard the ran when
they heard the on fire, or he grabbed somebody's badge
and swiped it. That this is In this case, they
had an armed New York City Police officer doing security
and he was shot and killed.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So what more do you do? But these new office
buildings there's you know, something Glendale have been built in
the last you know, five ten years. You have to
have the security guard comes and make sure you ure
the buttons pressed where you're going to your floor. You
can't get off at any other floor. And I think
that is going to have to be a norm in
New York. I think they're gon have to retrofit all
these buildings to allow only access to those floors if
(07:33):
you work there or if you're you know, if you're
a business there. Yeah, I mean they got to figure
it out in some way.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
As security is tightened in a lot of office buildings, it's
still just not enough. Somebody with a weapon of some kind,
if you know, they want to shoot their way in that,
it's hard to stop them.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, I guess so, buddy, I appreciate it. I know
you're late on this story. I really appreciate you coming up. Thanks.
Thanks Alex Stone with ABC News. And it was, man,
what a crazy connection.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I went to Birmingham High School in the valley. This
kid went to Granada. You know, that's that's five six
seven miles from where I went to high school. It's
also in the San Fernando Valley if you live in
the valley. That kid played football right here. Born in Santlorta,
raised in Santa Clarrita, then moved played for Granada again,
(08:22):
so did John Elway. And then John Elway went on
to you know, to play in the NFL with the
with Denver and there's a direct connection. This kid was
amongst us. I think he graduated in twenty fifteen, so
he graduated ten years ago, so he's probably belly. I
don't know if they have an age on him yet.
I imagine he's twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I haven't seen an age yet.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, he's probably twenty seven or twenty eight. If he
graduated in twenty fifteen, that's ten years ago. If he's
seventeen or eighteen when he graduated, he's twenty seven or
twenty eight. Unbelievable. All right, live, let's hip flip on
Channel four Real quick. Ellie is assisting a window washer
an apartment complex.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
He is not injured, but just needs help getting down.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
That's late us. Hear from downtown Los Angeles and he
was chopper for I'm at a marina.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
All right, there's a window washer outside of a high
rise that had some kind of medical situation and the
fire department had to put a hooking ladder and go
up and try to rescue this guy. So lots going on.
Got to keep it on KFI. There's too much news,
you know, during that. Maybe later on after Labor Day
or I don't know, around Christmas. You can turn on
Coast one oh three point five and listen to a
(09:33):
little music but there's way too much news right now,
and so you got to keep it on KFI. There's
dogs dying in Marina del Rey. There's that lunatic shooter
from Granada Hills went to New York and shot people.
There's more crime in the valley. It's getting crazy, it's
gritting crazy. You need to know what's going on to
sell to protect your life, your kid's life, your family's life.
(09:53):
And you might and you got to do it by
listening to KFI.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Rick Dees said one day, I don't know if he
said it on the air or off the air, but
I remember him saying, you know, if you talk about
the weather, they'll never change the station. I don't know
if that's true anymore. You know, because back in the
seventies you only got weather if you listen to the radio,
naging your weather on your phone. You don't need me anymore.
(10:27):
That kind of stings, right, you don't need me anymore,
but you do, you do, because I'm not just looking
at weather here in southern California. I'm looking all over
the country and I've noticed there's a big article in
the La Times. By the way, there's a huge article
about San Francisco's weather. The weather in San Francisco, California.
(10:47):
Beautiful town. You know, they've got a homeless problem, they've
got some issues, but physically probably the most beautiful town
in the United States perhaps the world. You know. And
and we don't get up there enough. You know, people
in southern California, you don't get to San Francisco enough,
and vice versa. The people who live in San Francisco,
(11:07):
the only reason they come down here is to watch sports.
You know, look them down and watch the Dodgers play
the Giants. They'll a boatload of them come down to
watch the forty nine ers play the Rams or the Chargers.
And you know, some will come down and watch San
Jose get the rest kicked by the Kings. And then
fewer will come down because the Warriors will play the
(11:30):
Lakers or the Clippers. But that's really the only reason
that come down. And we don't get up there enough.
But I think people should get up there more. It's
the most beautiful town. Pellyo. How often do you get
up to San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You go up often, probably like once or twice a year.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Really, you get up there that often.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
We have friends up near Oakland.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The last time I was in San Francisco was in
the late eighties with my brother to watch to watch
a baseball game at Candlestick Park. Late eighties Candlestick Park.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
And I was freezing. It was late July, early August,
and I had had a down jacket on and the
wind started whipping around that stadium and I was frozen.
I couldn't believe how cold it was.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
So cold it goes right through you too.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, but now I'm you know, and then so San
Francisco has not had this cold of the start of
summer since before you were born, Belli. O, Wow, this
is the coldest summer San Francisco has had while you've
been alive. That's saying something.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
That is saying something.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's huge. Yeah, San Francisco has not had this kind
of cold, brutally cold. By the way, summer it's getting
down to the sixties, that's sweater weather, and the nighttime
it gets down the low fifties, sometimes the high forties
up in the you know, the mountains, the hills, and
they've not had this start to a summer since nineteen
(13:02):
sixty five in the month of July. So far, there
hasn't been one day in July in San Francisco where
it's been average or above average. Not one day. And
I'll tell you what the next you know, if you're
going to San Francisco, I'll tell you what the next
couple of days are like. You know, if you want
to know, my daughter's going to slide up there or
go to some kind of I don't country music concert,
(13:25):
but it's going to be sixty five is the high
tomorrow in San Francisco. Then sixty six, sixty eight, sixty eight,
sixty eight, sixty nine, sixty eight, sixty eight, sixty six.
It is not going to reach seventy degrees in San
Francisco for the next ten days and probably beyond that.
And that night, fifty five is the low, except for
(13:47):
one day it's fifty four, so it doesn't very much.
It goes from fifty five to sixty eight all day long.
That's the that's the only variance you get in temperature. Now,
compare that to the Inland Empire down here in southern California,
a big difference. Seventy four is the low in the
(14:08):
Inland Empire. Tomorrow one oh four is the high So
that's thirty degrees, a thirty degree difference. The Iline Empire
is going to experience triple triple digits for the next
ten days. Sorry, I know you're a big KFI fans
out there in the Inland Empire. Hate to break the
bad news, but you probably already knew it. You knew it,
(14:29):
you knew what was going on. The High End Burbank
today eighty six, San Fernando Aley Tamar eighty seven. So
it's gonna be nice. It's gonna be nice. But I
still I don't think I got to get up there
more often. Look, I haven't been there in.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Thirty's surprised by that.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I haven't been there got almost forty years, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I just never get up up there when she was little. Yeah,
we didn't Lombard Street, no.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Because it started to get hairy when she was born,
you know, with the crime and the craziness up there,
and I didn't really feel like doing that. But I
will say that it is spectacular. It really is. And
Angel do you ever get up there to San Francisco?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh? Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
I do.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's how often you get up.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
I have not been in about three years.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, well that's not often. Then pass, pass on you pass? Oh,
come on, no, pass, it's not often, you say, I
get up there? Off you, I've been there in three years.
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Oh that was there last week.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Eileen Gonzalez is with us in for Krozier. How are
you doing good? Do you ever get to San Francisco?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You know, it's been like ten years?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Is that crazy?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And it was freezing when I went back then.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, but we live in the same state and nobody
ever goes, And so why are we building this hundred
and one hundred and thirty billion dollar train if nobody
goes anyway?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Just hoping people start going?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Maybe maybe I guess. And what about you, Stephus You
ever get to San Francisco?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I think the last time I was there, I was
like six. This is like a like a hospice show,
you know, just everyone's just laying in a hospital bed,
just waiting to check out. Kind we never get anywhere,
never do anything. We should go as a crew, we
should go up there in a week and do a
week's where the show's up there? Everybody in nothing.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yesterday we ran out of time. On the program. We
were talking about great pizza places, you know, hacking it
up doing hack radio. I'm not above them. And we're
also talking about saves. You know, what's a good safe
to have in your house so people can't run off
with it? And one guy had a good point, maybe
(16:45):
we'll play the audio here that you have to have
a really heavy safe, you know, five hundred pounder, the
one you buy from Costco and it takes four guys
to drop it off, and then you decide where you
want the house and it never moves, it stays in
your house. It's pounds. You're going to have to get
a football team to get it out of there. That's
the kind of safe you want. I wouldn't buy these
(17:07):
smaller ones that you know are easily just lifted and
taken out of your house. That's not a place that
keeps all your valuables safe because the guy's ripping your
place off. Know that you have valuables in your safe,
and if they can take it with them, one guy
can carry it out alone. It's gone. All your jewelry,
(17:27):
your mom's jewelry, your keepsakes, you know, the first tooth
of your firstborn child that you saved. All that's going
to go away in these smaller safes. All right, So
it was pizza and safe Day yesterday. So let's play
some of the talkbacks. I mean, you know, people took
the time to actually leave the talkbacks, so we might
(17:48):
as well play them. And you can leave it if
you just go to our app our iHeart app and
then I find the Conway Show and then press the
red button there and then we will get the audio
that you leave, and sometimes we'll play it on the air.
Let's see what's going on here. I think we start
with Becky in Long Beach? Is that right? Conray, Hey,

Speaker 10 (19:30):

because he lets his dough rise for a day before

the talkback, got a mighty She's driving like nine hundred
miles an hour.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
So I'm listening to you talk about the safe and
all that crap. Anyway, My parents had a cylindrical safe
in the ground in our garage. Wow, covered with a
piece of AstroTurf and covered by a big ass roll
around toolbox. Nobody ever found it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Okay, yeah, including your parents.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Nobody ever found it.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
Okay, put it out there.
Speaker 1 (20:52):

hey two.
Speaker 3 (20:57):

Big giant safety.

Bye bye bye. Yeah, please don't swear. That guy used
the S word, and I got it. It's more work
for me to bleep it out and.
Speaker 9 (21:14):
A word of advice. Uh, don't buy a fifty.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Pounds say, okay, this guy knows what he's talking about.
This talkback guy.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Uh, don't buy a fifty pounds save right, one hundred
pounds safe. Buy a two hundred and fifty pound five hundred,
one thousand pounds safe. You'll always find stuff to put
in it. You don't want them to be able to
pick it up and walk away with it. You want
them never to use a dolly.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Right, That's exactly why. Oh I hope he doesn't end
his with Baye.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
You want them never to use a dolly. And two
or three guys.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Bye, man, Oh my gosh, everybody's with bye. My mom
used to do that annoyed the hell out of all
of us every time she was on the phone. Bye bye,
her mind'spen, My dopey mom. And then she would say
weird things like she would tell her friends, if I
don't see it through the week, i'll see it through
the window. And she died before we ever really understood
(22:07):
what she meant by that. And I looked it up.
It doesn't make sense. She didn't use it properly, but
she said it all the time. But I don't see
it through the week, I'll see you through the window
like what. I don't even know what that means. All right,
when we come back, we have some problems in the
Venice area with dogs. Dogs are dying in the Venice area,
(22:29):
and you're gonna want to find out what's going on
because when a dog dies. You know, back when I
was growing up, when your dog died, you were emotional
about it, but you sort of got over it pretty
quickly because it was an outdoor dog. But now, man,
it can haunt you for five years, ten years. When
your dog dies, it can really devastate you for a
(22:51):
long time. We had to put our dog down, Ernie
last year and I still can't drive past the vet
where we put him down. I have to drive the
long way to get to home depot and I can't
drive by that vet. And it's been eight months and
I still can't do it. It makes me instantly incredibly
(23:13):
sad because I see that vet and I just see
me taking him into that vet, and I can't do it.
Not yet, maybe never, maybe never, certainly not yet.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
We've had an evolution of pets in our life, especially dogs. Again,
when I was growing up, we had a dog named Dolly,
beautiful dog. It was a standard poodle, just the sweetest
dog in the world. But she was an outdoor dog.
She was outdoors all day, all night. We went out
and played with her, but she never came inside. If
she was inside, my mom would yell at us, who
(23:53):
lot that dog in? How right? I should have never
had any of you kids get that dog the hell
out of air. Oh ah, just a dog in the house.
So that that's why people had doghouses. You don't see
doghouses much anymore because your house is the doghouse. But
so belly. When you had a dog when you were younger,
(24:15):
was it an outdoor dog?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
No, it was not.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Maybe in Colorado it's different an indoor dog. Yeah, poodle?
Oh yeah, we had a standard poodle.
Speaker 10 (24:23):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
It was big. It was a big ass dog. And
that I was watching Giant Robot. Remember that show, Giant Robot.
Oh it was great. You know, the fingernails came out
where missiles and the Giant Robot would save the day.
I was watching out with my brothers. We heard a
car screech and a dog yelp, and we ran outside
and our dog Dolly got hit by a car, and
(24:44):
so my dad threw us all into his car, all
six kids into his car, and he was racing to
the emergency room. We had the dog in the back
on my brother's laps. Everyone was hysterical, and my dad's
driving down Burbank Boulevard from Magnolia to Sepul. It was
a fairly new road. It would only opened like a
six months or a year ago. And when you get
(25:06):
to Woodley, there's you know, Woodley under Woodley is a waterway,
so it goes there's a little level, it rises like
eight feet and then it goes down eight feet. And
he hit that and he got air. And he's like,
we're in the middle of Supulvta damn airborne and he
has six kids in the car and a dog that's dying.
(25:26):
And even back then, I was only you know, I was,
you know, ten or eleven years old. I'm like, Dad,
you know, you got six kids in the car, nobody's
wearing seatbelts, and you know, you gotta wipe the whole
family out. I think we should, you know, may it
slow down a little bit. And we got to the
you know, the vat the dog didn't make and it
was very sad. And I remember missing a day of school,
(25:46):
but only one day, and you sort of, you know,
got over that dog quicker than you do now. But
now nowadays, your dog dies, you might miss three, four
or five days of work, you might be bedridden for
a while, you might not be able to move on
without professional help. That dog is is every bit a
(26:08):
member of the family or more. You know, when you
have relatives die, sometimes you're not that emotional about it.
You miss them, but you're not really that emotional about him.
When your dog dies, it can it can turn you
into hysterics and paralyze you. So dogs are very important.
Their health is important, you know, keeping them up with
(26:29):
their vet is important. And man, I used to go
to the vet with a dog. I was only the
only guy in town, the only guy in the vet.
Now you go to the vet, you're like fortieth in line.
Everybody is treating their dog like a family member.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Our dog has a dentist and a dermatologist, like.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Your dog as a dermatologist.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, we had to take them to the dermatologists because
a little skin rap. Yeah, he goes to the eye doc.
Here a little bump on his eye. We had to
go to the eye doctor.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh my god. Angel's a good mother too, to Olive, right, Olive,
that's right.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Yeah, she has like regular appointments where she goes in,
she gets her nails trimmed, she'll get you know, little
tech services like that. Okay, and then like like Bellio,
I mean she's my dog's got a little that that
she goes to specifically for her dentle cleaning.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Last I took my dogs, he had to get their
teeth clean. It was sixteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
That's nothing nothing. Mine was like almost three thousand dollars
to have their teeth cleaned. Well, they had to pull
some teeth.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, it's the worst when they get old. All right,
but in Venice there are dogs dying and they don't
know why. You gotta be careful if you're in Venice,
you need to know this information. Again, you can listen
to music with Coast over the holidays. Now you need news.
Your dog could could be killed by just tooling around Venice.
(27:58):
And you need to know that whether you live in
Venice or whether you go to Venice to walk your
dog and bring your dog with you. You need to
know this and this is important important.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
People are extremely concerned around here. We know at least
six dogs have died.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Multiple dogs they've.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Fallen violently ill and it's all happened in the past
ten days. And many are asking is it related to
the canal? Is it a toxin in the area. They
just really don't know right now. Community members are rallying, however,
to spread the word. They put out flyers and they
want people to know that this is happening. They're working
together trying to identify if there's an unknown substance that's
causing the illness or possibly something linked to these canals.
Speaker 11 (28:34):
Or.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
A lunatic in the neighborhood who is tired of the
dog barking and this guy or gal is wiping him out.
I would not put that really far down on the
list in Venice. Sorry, just my experience.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
One homeowner, Ramon Goni and his team have created and
distributed flyers door to door throughout the canals and surround.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Wait, wait, who's doing this?
Speaker 5 (28:59):
One homeownerny Okay, Bradon Gobi and who's he doing with
and his team?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Have wait is a team? What does that mean? And
who's talks like that? Who is a team.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And his team has got a team?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
How is this guy a manager? An owner? Does he own?
The Venice Beach Team.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Created and distributed flyers do you or to door throughout
the canals and surrounding neighborhoods. The flyers include a list
of symptoms vomiting seizures, along with possible causes and tips
to help dog owners keep their pets safe.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
One area, I smell a rat. I'm gonna stay on
high alert. I think somebody's doing this. I don't know.
I've been to Venice. Are some weird cats out there?
I think it's something going on in Venice.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
One area of concern is a house nearby on Ocean
in twenty eighth. They say it was recently treated for ants.
Neighbors reported seeing a white substance around the fence, and again.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
That's usually not it, you know, treating for ants doesn't
really affect dogs like this.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
No one really knows what's causing these illnesses, but there
is just great concern for these pet owners.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
It is very concerning. It is I mean, that's a
horrible way to see your healthy dog go out, you know,
getting sick and then dying and you don't know why.
Speaker 11 (30:14):
For every dog owner, especially for the ones that have
lost their dogs. I think the reason why we all
garner it at least fifteen people have incorporated into to
get a lot of things do in the last twenty
four hours, is because we all can connect and relate
to the pain that one goes through when losing a pet.
(30:34):
And it's not just a pet, it's essentially a companion,
it's a roommate, it's a family member. That's right, So
we all want to make those people who lost their friends,
their very friends, feel supported.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And by the way, it's quite often your best friend.
You know you I you know. Years and years ago,
I used to I think that was crazy, you know,
your best friend, and as a dog. Now I think
it's probably the norm. I think the majority of the people,
if you ask the majority of the people, hey, who's
your best friend, I think a lot of would say
(31:09):
their dog. A lot of them would that dog's with you. You know,
your mom is with you. You know, maybe at Christmas
or Thanksgiving or it comes out for the you know,
two weeks during the summer, and maybe you talk to
your mom like Bellio talks to her mom. Every day
on the way home from work. But you're not with
your mom every day. You spend much more time with
those dogs than you do your mom, much more.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Oh yeah, I probably tell my dogs things that I
don't tell my mom. Oh, I'm sure you do, because
I think we vent to our pets.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yes, that's exactly right, Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
And they say that they've collectively come together to get
those lab results from those pet owners and get them
to the city to hopefully find out what's going on
here in vented.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Okay, to recap, we've got a problem in Venice that's
killing dogs. So don't take your until they can straighten
us out. Don't take your dog there and think, oh,
you got a healthy dog, nothing's going to hurt my dog. No, no, no, no,
wait till they straighten us out. Take your dog somewhere else.
And if you live down there, don't take your dog
on the canals until they know what this is because
(32:08):
you can't afford the you know, the psychological damage that's
going to happen if your dog dies. And you've been warned.
So spread the word and let's keep these dogs healthy.
