Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show. Ah.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yes, the Friday before the big Memorial Day weekend. Hope
you have some fun, but hope you'll also remember the great, famous,
beautiful men and women who were very brave to go
out and fight for this country and paid the ultimate
price so we can sit here and live in the
greatest country in the history of the world. I will
(00:33):
defend that statement till I die. This is the greatest
country in the world, the greatest. And proof of that
is we're moving on from the penny. We're not making
pennies anymore. We've had it, and once this new load
of pennies is out and done, there'll be no more made.
And we're gonna have to somehow figure out how to
(00:53):
get by without the pennies.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And I don't know anybody who has pennies.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You know, when you get changed engine, you have like
you know, it's you know, ten dollars and ninety seven
cents and you get three cents back, don't you always
put them back in the Have a penny, take a penny,
little jar or a little tray that they have there
every single every time time. Yeah, I don't know who
takes them. Would you stephush? Would you bend down to
(01:18):
pick up a penny?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Nope? See I do.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh okay, because have a penny, pick it up all
day long, you'll have good luck. That's got to be
heads up though, Yeah, I didn't know that thing. Yeah,
it's got to be heads up.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
If it's tails up, you can pick it up, but
you can't keep it and you got to throw it
back over your shoulder and just we was that right?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, whatever for the next person. Hope it lands on
a heads up. I'm glad you guys told me this.
After sixty years.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You've been picking up them unlucky pennies all this time.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
O mighty so much. That's horrible. Maybe that was the
that's the problem with the track. Yeah right, pennies are
tails up, man, that's the worst. But penny production is
coming to an end, so if you're a penny freak,
you're probably pretty sad.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The US Treasury confirmed it's wine down penny production this month.
That's a wrap, it's over, Telling NBC News, the Department
made its final order of penny blanks, as in a
blank coin before it's stamped. Adding, demand for the penny
has drastically decreased and Alexander founding father Alexander Hamilton was
(02:20):
the first Secretary of the US Treasury, which started overseeing
the circulation of pennies in seventeen ninety three.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
They were originally called flowing hair sense.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Wonder why they bailed off that.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Name called flowing hair sense.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Flowing hair Hey, you got a floor, Take a flowing
hair sense. Leave a flowing hair sense. It doesn't work
flowing hair sense. Well, how they get the penny from
flowing hair sense?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The image of Liberty's hair streaming behind her. The penny
we recognize today with Abraham Lincoln wasn't circulated for another
one hundred years, but eventually made its way into the
lexicon of pop culture.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Push a penny out of the door now moving us
to tears and ghosts.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Every time it rains, it rains, pans room behaven shoved.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Me the money making song lyrics and who can forget
those popular pennies saver USA coupon mailers.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yes, the penny saver man.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I love those, But now the pennies days are numbered?
Why the change well, penny pinching. It costs nearly four
cents to make a penny, so if production stops, well,
the nation could quickly save about fifty six million dollars
a year.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Who uses pennies anyway? That's right. He's a very smart man,
very upright dude. Who uses pennies anyway?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Another reason behind the pennies demise well the preference to
go cashless. When survey shows more than forty percent of
Americans saying none of their purchases in a week is
paid with cash.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, that's interesting. I think I'm in that forty percent.
I remember the last time I used cash for anything.
I use it at the racetrack or gambling. But I
remember paying for a meal with cash or anything with cash.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Pennies?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, but I think you still have to You have
to pay for weed still with cash or Uh? It's
cheaper if you pay with cash. Oh, it is because
they still have all the fees on it. If you
use your card?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, so it's cheaper. But do you ever get stuck
byd the person that still uses a check? Oh my god,
I want to kill them. It's a little easier now,
it's a little more. You know, they rush it along
a little better now. But man, when that checkbook comes
out and that that lady or that old usually no
guy or an old lady plops that checkbook down, Man,
(04:41):
you're in for a circus. And then the casher is
always looking at it like it's a hundred dollars bill.
They have to like look at it, double check it,
make sure everything's signed correctly.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And then they've got to run it through that thing
that it does a half circle. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
and it comes out like, oh, you have no money
in that account. Well, I'm gonna put money in that account.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You're not. You're a deadbeat.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Get out, get out, get out, out out of you know,
back in the old days when and I only know
this because I had a friend who did really well
for himself. He went to Northwestern, you guys heard of Northwestern,
very popular university. He graduated number one in his class
(05:25):
to become a lawyer at Northwestern, which is very difficult
to do. And so right out of college he was
going to get he got a job at Visa. He
was going to be one of the one of the
top lawyers at Visa. Coming right out of college and
they're going to pay him. I think it was three
or four hundred thousand dollars a year. Very smart man.
And so we're at a restaurant celebrating his graduation and
(05:47):
celebrating his new job. And we're in New York and
there were probably about twenty of us, you know, guys
that he's known forever, and he was going to pay
the bill because he got this beautiful, big, huge job.
And back then, you know, back in the eighties, when
a buddy got a job paying three hundred thousand dollars,
he was like a billionaire because nobody had any money.
And so we all ate, we all drank, we all
(06:08):
had a good time, and the bill came to like
twelve hundred dollars, and he used his visa card. Yeah,
he uses visa card, and he gave it to the
guy and the and the restaurant owner said, you know,
if you use a visa card, we're going to charge
you another four percent. And my buddy, who's the lawyer, said, well,
Visa doesn't allow you to do that. And he said, well,
(06:29):
we do it all the time. The soore, the restaurant
owner says, we do it all the time. And my
buddy said, well, I'm a lawyer with VISA and what
you're doing is illegal. It's against our policy. And if
we find out you're doing that, like you're telling me
you do that, we're going to take away your ability
to take VISA. And this dumb restaurant owner said, well,
(06:51):
I'll just call Visa tomorrow and I'll figure it out
with them. And my buddy said, dude, you're going to
be calling me when you call me, when you call Visa,
I'm gonna answer and I'm gonna tell you the same thing.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
So it was just a back and forth. Dude, dude, dude.
He's one of the greatest fights ever. It's like the
dumbest guy in the world and the smartest guy in
the world. We're having a battle and he's like, well,
I just call Visa. He goes, yeah, yeah, okay, you
can call Visa. I can give or you can just
talk to me right now.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Right Yeah, I'll be the guy you talk to, and
I'm gonna tell you we're gonna take away your ability
to take VISA if you keep doing that. Now, I
don't know if that's changed not since then. I think
they've they've relaxed the rules a little. But back then
it was a no no. It was a no no.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Couldn't do that, couldn't do it at all? All Right,
back to this, pennies from heaven, a.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Trend that saw a boost during the pandemic. So what
to do with all those left over copper plated coins?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, what do we do with these things?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Melt them down, add them to coin collections, or toss
into wishing wells. You'll find an endless source of inspiration online,
as for all those idioms we know and love today,
Soon you might be asking a nickel for your thoughts
or saying something.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Is worth every dime. New expressions in.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
The words guys loaded with them that no longer makes sense.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
God.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The US would not be the first to ditch its
least valuable coin. Canada stopped using its pennies more than
a decade ago. Now there are one hundred fourteen billion
pennies currently in circulation in.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
These not wild one hundred and fourteen billion pennies in circulation.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
There are one hundred fourteen billion pennies currently in circulation
in the US, but they are severely underutilized. Many are
sitting in piggybanks the bottom of fountains are just casually
on the sidewalk with no one bothering to pick them up.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I went to Las Vegas with a buddy mine, a
guy named Jason, and he was broke. We're all like
sort of just trying to make it in life. And
he brought with him. He drove he medicin in Vegas.
He brought with him. I'm gambling at the MGM. I'm,
you know, trying to make a couple of bucks. Something
was playing blackjack or Pope or video poke or something.
And I see out of the corner my eye see
(09:11):
this guy and he's dragging a big, huge glass five
gallons sparklets bottle and it's filled with pennies and nickels.
And I'm like, oh, it's my buddy Jason. I say, hey,
what are you doing. He goes, oh, I'm going to
the room to separate the pennies and nickels. This is
my gambling money for the week for the weekend. And
(09:32):
I said, Buddy, I said, I don't think I've seen
anything studlier than a guy dragging a five gallon glass
water jug with filled with pennies to his room to
separate them. You are going to get all the chicks
this weekend. I'm surprised they're not, you know, flocking all
over you right now.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
The nerds to pull those buckets around from the machine.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's unreal.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And he didn't have it, you know, he didn't have
it on a dot all or anything. He was like
rolling it and then dragging it. Like, oh, this is me,
that's my guy. I'm here with that guy this weekend.
And then he says to me, he goes, hey, you
want to come to the room and help me separate.
I'm like, yeah, sure, it should better.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
That should only separate right now. This should only take
about eight hours.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Oh that sounds like so much fun.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, dirty hands. Eight hours and what have we got?
Nineteen dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Ladies drinks?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Saw him?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Who's the guy with the dirty pause. It's my buddy.
You're gonna love him.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
We're talking about coins during the last segment. I know
probably interest you, but do you remember though they still
have him those coin separating machines. It's called like coinbase,
you know, and then they.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
They take a percentage.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, they take ten percent. Or if you if you
spend your money at the store, they don't take anything,
but you got to spend it all the store spending.
I have one at our credit union, and you know
the ones, and I go in like once every year
for two years with all the change, and it spins
around and you know, eventually you get like one hundred
(11:22):
and forty dollars and thirty eight cents whatever. But I
hate that that machine is is so like in everybody's face.
It's it should be in the back in a private
room where nobody sees how desperate you are, you know,
but it's in the front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Everybody walks in, like, hey, Tim, are you doing good?
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Good?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm doing good. So how's it going at the station?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I'm spinning old coins, you know, so won't you
take a guess of how it's going. But it seems
to be I always get like caught in those pretty
dick comments.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's really like embarrassing things.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah, it's like weird.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Like I was fired over at klis X for stupid
crap that we did on the air. I wasn't suspended,
I was fired And I remember, you know, that was
before social media, so it couldn't tell anybody, you know,
what we were doing and wherever we go, and there's
no podcast or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I was just out of a job. I was out.
It was on a Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I got fired on Thursday, and by Friday, I had
no job and I had no money saved up. So
I was living in an apartment over in Koreatown, and
I walked over to Kinko's to make some more resumes
because I had to get my resume out there and
find another job. And so I'm I go to Kinko's
and I'm making my resume and I can hear on
(12:47):
the speakers at Kinkos. And by the way, if you're
you know, under eighty, Kinkos is a place where you
can go and make copies and and you know, FedEx
and stuff like that. And so I'm I'm going to
a copy place to make copies of my resume so
I can go find another job. And I hear on
the speakers on Kinko's they're listening to the guy that
(13:08):
replaced me. On on the radio, they're listening to ed
Till Come On, Everybody, Ed Tal Ed Till come on, Everybody,
Ed Till and I hear the opening song and it's
Ed Till with Jason Sloko and Malibu Dan My two guys,
and I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I'm listening to him, and he replaced me.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So I leave there and I go to that hamburger place.
What is it called Big Tony's or what's a hamburger
place that Tommy's. No, it's not Tommy's. It's like a
fat burger, fatburger. So I got a fat burger and
I'm going to get a small baby burger, small fries,
(13:50):
and small coke. And I see on the counter it
says ten pc off if you use your triple A card.
I was like, oh, okay, you know, and save some money.
So I break out my triple A card. I give
it to him and he looks at it and he goes, oh,
are you the guy on the radio? I said, well
(14:14):
I was, and he said, oh, he goes, how's it going?
I said, well, I'm using my triple A card this
to save fifty eight cents on a hamburger.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
How do you think this is going? How do you
think it is? I remember like being.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Embarrassed by that for some reason, but I'm embarrassed with
that coin spinner, you know, you go in with your
big bucket of coins, you throw it in, it spins
it around. Then you see these bombs come in. Who
my daughter's friends with their daughters, like, hey, Tim, howarre you?
I'm like, all right, I'm spinning coins here, you know,
take them to banks as well. That's where I go.
(14:53):
I go to the credit union. And it doesn't help
that it's so loud. Oh it's louder than help. And
they put that Starbucks cover over it, like when they
spin drinks over there, to make it a little quieter.
But then you always get funky coins that break the machine,
you know, Canadian quarters or those you know those pennies
that you squish at Knotsbury Farm that gets in there somehow,
(15:14):
and then that f's the machine up, and then they're pistol.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
The junk and fabric and everything in the.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Tray, right, yeah, like Jack's and ball right where that went?
Speaker 9 (15:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
A little spool. I don't know. I don't buy the spool,
but there it is monopoly.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They got to put those in a private room, private
private room, all right. Lax big rush out of Lax
did yesterday today and a little bit of tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You got to be aware of this. Everybody.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
We've been through lax on Friday or part of what's
expected to be a record breaking Memorial Day weekend for travelers.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Here that you're looking forward to, you know, the New Jersey,
Washington and the Buffalo trip. And yeah, I mean really
really excited about it.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Triple A predict a record set twenty years ago will
be pretty does.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Seem excited about it? I'll give them that.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Ready to be excited about it?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's really really Diddy excited about it.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
Ready to be excited about it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Really, I think I'm meant to say really really and
he said, really Diddy.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Ready to be excited about it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Triple A predicts a record set twenty years ago will
be broken as more than forty five million people were
expected to travel fifty miles or more of this holiday week.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Forty five million people. That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I was trying to go to Miami, but man took
us away to a Spencer, So I'm going to shill
out of the southwest side. Even though domestic flights are
a little more expensive this year than last year, three
point six million people will.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Be flying Man.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I'm a procrastinator, so I've missed so many flights from
this airport.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
It's so so unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But yeah, I'll be uh, I'll be truthful with you.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
If you're a procrastinator, LAX is not your friend. You've
got to show up at the airport three hours before
a domestic flight, four or five hours before an international flight,
which does makes sense. If you're driving to Vegas, you
get in order to get to LAX by noon, you
have to leave your house by ten am, so that's
(17:08):
two hours LAX. Then you're there three hours before you're
five and then there's an hour flight that's six and
then you get to the hotel at seven.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's seven hours.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
If you fly to Las Vegas, about three and a
half four hours if you drive.
Speaker 11 (17:22):
I'm getting there pretty early now.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Real IDs or passports are required for flight.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh I forgot about that real iy ds. I wonder
how many people got hosed today with the real ideas
what I was just gonna say.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
There's been times when I did UBER and I was
taking people and the line was so bad they just
got out of the car and walked onto the airport.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh is that right? Yeah, dragging their luggage.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah, stuff, they're like, yeah, I can't wait longer.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I gotta go.
Speaker 12 (17:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I see people do that occasionally. If you're within a
you gotta be within a mile of an airport where
dragging your.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Luggage looks okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
But if you're like I see people in Burbank dragging
their luggage, I'm like, oh, there's a story there. Guys
dragging his luggage down, you know, boying Avi. Something going
on with that. I don't know what's going on with that, dude,
but something's happening.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It is the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, big big weekend,
and a big shout out to all those brave men
and women who sacrificed and paid the ultimate price that
we could be doing this.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Here's a restaurant. It's actually a ghost kitchen. You know
what a ghost kitchen is. Well, if you don't know,
i'll tell you. A ghost kitchen is a way that
a restaurant can set up in your neighborhood without setting
up a restaurant like, for instance, let's say you enjoyed
Novo Cafe. Very popular, very good restaurant, Italian restaurant Burbank,
but they wanted to open up a restaurant in I
(18:47):
don't know, Arcadia, but they didn't want to go through
and open up the restaurant with waiters, waitresses, brick and mortar,
the whole thing. So they set up a ghost kitchen
and they can deliver you to Arcadia fresh food from Novo,
but it's not made at the vote Novo and Burbank
or Thousand Oaks. It's made in Arcadia, same recipes, same food,
(19:11):
but you get it faster, hotter, and more delicious because
of a ghost kitchen. And a ghost kitchen can handle
sometimes sixty seven or eight restaurants and make the meal
just as good as you remember at your favorite restaurant. Okay,
that's what a ghost kitchen is. Now there's one in
I believe it's in a neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think it's Echo Park, Is that right? Bellio? Was
it Echo Park? I think it was?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And the neighbors are complaining because there's so much traffic nowadays.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
This ghost kitchen, with over twenty vendors, very popular, a
very popular go to spot for all the delivery drivers
making those deliveries, but neighbors say it's not just the
traffic jams that are the issues they're dealing with. Ghost
kitchens are spaces food vendors can rent out and partner
with food delivery apps to deliver to their customers. I
(19:57):
went over then Echo Park Eats off Sunset and Douglas
has everything from Goop Kitchen to pizza and sushi, and
they're busy with homes just feet away. Neighbors say the
traffic jams the delivery drivers are causing has become a
major issue.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, it's a major major issue with the with the traffic.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
You know what, Stephush, I gotta ask you because you're
a fast food guy, like I am, your younger, so
you can handle most of it. Who is getting McDonald's
or Jack in the Box or are these foods delivered
to them by the time you get it?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Isn't it cold?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I well, I would only say it's when you're a
little bit inebriated.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh and you're high.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, So if like you just don't want to, you know,
be a danger to others and drive out there, that's
probably the only Yeah, because you're right, McDonald's and Jack
in the Box there's no point. Yeah, because you have
to eat them while you're you know, as soon as
you get it while you're leaving. Yes, you have to.
Corolla says that that there should be a watch tower
above each Jack in the Box and anybody that goes
home to eat it.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Like we got a runner. We got a runner.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He didn't need his pocos and long we got a
runner and then blast away. But I don't understand getting food.
And I see it all the time every time I
go to McDonald's or Jack in the Box, I see
people pick up food and it's a delivery service and
they're going to deliver it, you know, ten minutes later,
But twenty minutes after that meal is cooked, I don't
know if it's any good. Yeah, probably not. It's I'm
sure it's not. So that person's either very gone or hungover. Yeah,
(21:25):
and you know you're.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Not going to complain.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I'll tell you a story of what I thought was
going to be rock bottom, but it was not. A
good friend of mine, a guy named Randy. Maybe you
guys could put together what his last name is. His
first name is Randy, and he used to live off
of Laurel and Riverside, and he would go to his
(21:48):
uncle's place for Thanksgiving and his uncle, how about this.
Never heard of this in my life, ran out of
food on Thanksgiving. I've never heard of that happening anywhere
in the world where there's not enough food on Thanksgiving,
you say, in the world, in the world and any
(22:11):
any any like I know they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but
any celebration where there's either like a Christmas or a
Thanksgiving whatever they call it in Canada. Yeah, big ass
holiday giving and gathering. And they ran out of food.
So he gets home, he's probably you know, had a
(22:31):
couple of drags off of a jay, put his lips on.
How do you say el bongo if you know what
I mean? And he that's right. And this would before
food delivery services. So he called the taxi cab and
(22:51):
he said to the cab driver, Hey, can you drive
me through the Jack in the box drive through? And
he drove him through the jack in the box drive
through and the cab driver, I guess has seen this
act before because he pulled up to the drive through
window so the back seat could order and the back
seat could grab the food and do the transaction. Yeah,
(23:14):
deal with that. Guy in back and it was not
rock bottom, not rock bottom though in his case. All right,
let's get back to this delivery service, this ghost kitchen,
huge headache for Echo Park park.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
In the middle of the street. They even park on
the red tones and you know it wasn't a while.
The ticket to enforcement coms and give them a ticket,
but they don't come all the time.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
Emily, who did not want to be on camera, fears
for her safety.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What Who's gonna kill Emily because she's talking about traffic.
What kind of neighborhood you live in where you're like, ah,
I'll talk you about traffic, but please don't tell me,
don't show my picture. It's a rough neighborhood, rough neighborhood.
Speaker 10 (23:54):
Emily, who did not want to be on camera.
Speaker 13 (23:56):
Fears for her safety after a road range incident with
a delivery driver.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Oh okay, well that makes sense, I guess.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
After a road range incident with a delivery driver.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Car cameras driving really fast and almost hit me and
then I went like upset, like I motioned to them
like I was upset. He flipped you in, followed me home,
was flipping me off, and then he went to my
alley wing and looked like he was going to get
out of his car and start fighting me.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So I ran inside a rough neighborhood or a rough
guy in a decent neighborhood, whatever it is, whatever the combo.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Is, and I'm scared of him now because that's the
same drivers usually. I'm scared to go walk back that way.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Because I'm with her.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I'm with her, young woman out on her own, probably
in her late teens, early twenties. And I completely understand that, Emily.
I now understand why you didn't want to be on
camera because some of these drivers are crazy, because.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
I'm scared it's going to be the guy's going to
recognize me.
Speaker 13 (24:50):
And well, not all neighbors have had run ins with
drivers like Emily. Many complained the drivers are taking up
room by idling and pumping out exhaust while waiting for
app orders to come in.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Okay, night in Quentekai. What do you say there, stephansh
do it again?
Speaker 12 (25:07):
Okay, night in Quentei.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
There's no room here.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
There's no room here, okay in quenti.
Speaker 13 (25:15):
Anthony, a delivery driver says, we're only working here. We're
not trying to cause any trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You didn't get that one bag. Either you're wrong or
she's wrong.
Speaker 13 (25:26):
Council Member Hugo Soso Martinez represents the district and says
the city is already stepping up to find a solution,
but it admits the issue runs deeper.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, it runs deeper over there.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
Council Member Hugo Soso Martinez.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Hugo Shoto. What the hell Hugo Shoto did? Like a
like a robot.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
City is already stepping up to find a solution, but
admits the issue runs deeper. Ghost kitchens are so new
there's no official zoning category. This specific kitchen is licensed
as a catering kitchen, all meant for low volume delivery,
not the high volume traffic it's causing.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, that's gonna be a problem, and they gotta they'll
have regulation on that.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
In a heartbeat, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Hey, I'm gonna be in Long Beach on June fourth,
and you are welcome if you want to buy yourself
a ticket to this lunch it's the Queen Mary on
June fourth. It includes admission to Queen Mary complementary parking
buffet lunch and a talk hosted by me.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It's seventy five bucks plus tax and something else comes
out to somewhere in the eighties low eighties. But that'll
be fun. And the Queen Mary was kind enough to say, hey,
why don't you come down to the third, spend the
night on the on the ship, and then give you
know whatever talk on the fourth. I said, that's a
great idea. So they're very kind to allow me to
(26:57):
do that. So it's gonna be You go to event
bright dot com, event b R I t E dot com,
look up either Queen Mary or Tim Conway Junior or
Conway whatever, and or you can look under the title
of the talk and that title is unfortunately the humor
(27:18):
gene skips a generation.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Live with Me Tim Conway Journey.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
So it'll be.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Fun, you know, we'll have a good time.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
We'll roll around probably I don't know, maybe smoke cigarettes
and I don't know, drink and maybe get into some mischief,
some fights.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's
gonna go on.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I don't know, all right, Kim Kardashian, that trial is over,
Let's find out exactly how much time these lads are
going to be doing for ripping off one of our royalty,
one of our our royal the royal family here, the Kardashian.
Speaker 14 (27:53):
So we did just get the verdict moments ago and
the sentencing. According to our producer who is insight.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You may remember this, the the guys broke in and
stole a lot of jewelry from Kim Kardashian. There were
ten people that they arrested for this. They put ten
people on trial.
Speaker 14 (28:07):
So we did just get the verdicts moments ago and
the sentencing. According to our producer who was inside the courtroom,
eight people were sentenced to were acquitted. The maximum prison
sentence that one of the defendants got was eight years
in prison. Then we have three sentences of seven years
in prison, and the only woman who was on trial
here it was nine men and one woman. The only
(28:28):
woman on trial got four years in prison. The judge
said that he took into consideration the time that had
passed and the fact that the defendants hadn't done anything
you know, controversial, They hadn't broken the law since that incident.
And then he also said that he considered their age,
so you mentioned they are on the older side. They
were dubbed the Grandpa robbers by French media because many
(28:51):
of them are in their sixties and.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Set man in their sixties still going in and robbing people.
Speaker 14 (28:56):
And seventies, and so the judge said that ethically he
felt he couldn't sentence them to more than eight years
in prison, which is the maximum sentence for one of
the defensives.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
There you go, all right, they're going to prison.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Pasadena a guy went a little nutty and brought out
three long guns in front of an Apple store, opened
up the cases and was showing everybody. And it was
right as Channel five was doing a live hit out there,
and he called the cops on himself. Pasadena cops showed
up really really quickly. When you tell them you got
(29:29):
three long guns and you're on the streets of Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
They stepped to you quickly, quickly.
Speaker 11 (29:36):
In Pasadena this point, it's unclear what his intention was,
but what I can tell you is that he pulled
over in the middle of Colorado Boulevard and unloaded multiple
cases with guns inside as well as backpacks. He walked
towards the entrance of the Apple store, now. Our KTLA
crew just happened to be outside working on a completely
(29:57):
unrelated story and captured it on camera as he approached
the store.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
I am they one carrying big guns?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Some man sitting directly in front of the Apple store.
Speaker 11 (30:08):
The suspect called police on himself and appeared to be
on the phone with a dispatcher when he approached the
entrance of the Apple store in Pasadena with two cases
of guns and multiple backpacks.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
It was around nine forty five am on Friday.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Wow, Wow, what got into this guy? He's crazy out
there in Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Other tries to recorded from it to help me. That's
the person who tried to kill me? Who's the mother
of my children?
Speaker 11 (30:36):
Apple store employees were inside.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
He was complaining that the mother of his children tried
to kill him.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
Apple store employees were inside preparing to open. Our KTLA
crew happened to be in front of the store setting
up for an unrelated story on tariffs. When the situation unfolded,
Stephen Jensen eventually he opened the cases him.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
These are my guns.
Speaker 9 (30:59):
Would you have to see them? Fifteen?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
He's a guy, but he's got that weird ass high voice.
Not threatening at all, I know it's something going on.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Fifteen.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yes, well I'm currently not putting up the pace.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Then that's how coplation. Those aren't gun shots in the background.
Those are guys moving trash around.
Speaker 11 (31:21):
These witnesses visiting from England initially thought it was a
movie shoot, but we're frightened when they realized the guns
were real.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
And we like looked over in like the case because
he had like a massive gun. Don't I don't know
my gardens, but it was a big gun, and we thought, oh,
maybe not someone taking a video, and we thought it
must be a movie set. But then he seemed really
angry and agitated, and we thought, oh gosh, so we
started like walking off the phone.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I'm not gonna get shot.
Speaker 15 (31:44):
It's hair for me to be honest. When the place
officer got here, we started.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Filming a little Yeah, by the way, I think that's dual.
Speaker 15 (31:50):
It's hair for me to be honest. When the place
officer got here, we started filming a little bit and
we were like, right, we just need to get out
of him.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Cop showed up less than two minutes, two, then four,
then six. I think a dozen cops showed up many.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
They arrived quickly.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
When they when you're in Pasadena and they get a
call long guns in front of the Apple store. They
are on you quick.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
Within minutes, Pasadena police arrived and he was taken into custody.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
There's tackled.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
I FOS sixteen Promax has been packed.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I am just impressed.
Speaker 11 (32:36):
In a happy Pasadena policeman acted really fast.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
These gentlemen, thelemen and policemen. Who who? Who? Who got
him on the floor. He was very comfiding.
Speaker 11 (32:46):
The suspect left his car in the middle of Colorado
Boulevard to unload the weapons.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Wow, it didn't work out for that lad. All right,
to have a nice Memorial Day weekend. Think about the
men and women who sacrificed for our country. Anyway you can,
even the small little tribute or small little things goes
the long way. Moe Kelly up next right here on
K five AM six forty
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show. Ah.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Yes, the Friday before the big Memorial Day weekend. Hope
you have some fun, but hope you'll also remember the great, famous,
beautiful men and women who were very brave to go
out and fight for this country and paid the ultimate
price so we can sit here and live in the
greatest country in the history of the world. I will
(00:33):
defend that statement till I die. This is the greatest
country in the world, the greatest. And proof of that
is we're moving on from the penny. We're not making
pennies anymore. We've had it, and once this new load
of pennies is out and done, there'll be no more made.
And we're gonna have to somehow figure out how to
(00:53):
get by without the pennies.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And I don't know anybody who has pennies.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
You know, when you get changed engine, you have like
you know, it's you know, ten dollars and ninety seven
cents and you get three cents back, don't you always
put them back in the Have a penny, take a penny,
little jar or a little tray that they have there
every single every time time. Yeah, I don't know who
takes them. Would you stephush? Would you bend down to
(01:18):
pick up a penny?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Nope? See I do.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh okay, because have a penny, pick it up all
day long, you'll have good luck. That's got to be
heads up though, Yeah, I didn't know that thing. Yeah,
it's got to be heads up.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
If it's tails up, you can pick it up, but
you can't keep it and you got to throw it
back over your shoulder and just we was that right?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, whatever for the next person. Hope it lands on
a heads up. I'm glad you guys told me this.
After sixty years.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
You've been picking up them unlucky pennies all this time.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
O mighty so much. That's horrible. Maybe that was the
that's the problem with the track. Yeah right, pennies are
tails up, man, that's the worst. But penny production is
coming to an end, so if you're a penny freak,
you're probably pretty sad.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The US Treasury confirmed it's wine down penny production this month.
That's a wrap, it's over, Telling NBC News, the Department
made its final order of penny blanks, as in a
blank coin before it's stamped. Adding, demand for the penny
has drastically decreased and Alexander founding father Alexander Hamilton was
(02:20):
the first Secretary of the US Treasury, which started overseeing
the circulation of pennies in seventeen ninety three.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
They were originally called flowing hair sense.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Wonder why they bailed off that.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Name called flowing hair sense.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Flowing hair Hey, you got a floor, Take a flowing
hair sense. Leave a flowing hair sense. It doesn't work
flowing hair sense. Well, how they get the penny from
flowing hair sense?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
The image of Liberty's hair streaming behind her. The penny
we recognize today with Abraham Lincoln wasn't circulated for another
one hundred years, but eventually made its way into the
lexicon of pop culture.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Push a penny out of the door now moving us
to tears and ghosts.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Every time it rains, it rains, pans room behaven shoved.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Me the money making song lyrics and who can forget
those popular pennies saver USA coupon mailers.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yes, the penny saver man.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I love those, But now the pennies days are numbered?
Why the change well, penny pinching. It costs nearly four
cents to make a penny, so if production stops, well,
the nation could quickly save about fifty six million dollars
a year.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Who uses pennies anyway? That's right. He's a very smart man,
very upright dude. Who uses pennies anyway?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Another reason behind the pennies demise well the preference to
go cashless. When survey shows more than forty percent of
Americans saying none of their purchases in a week is
paid with cash.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, that's interesting. I think I'm in that forty percent.
I remember the last time I used cash for anything.
I use it at the racetrack or gambling. But I
remember paying for a meal with cash or anything with cash.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Pennies?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, but I think you still have to You have
to pay for weed still with cash or Uh? It's
cheaper if you pay with cash. Oh, it is because
they still have all the fees on it. If you
use your card?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, so it's cheaper. But do you ever get stuck
byd the person that still uses a check? Oh my god,
I want to kill them. It's a little easier now,
it's a little more. You know, they rush it along
a little better now. But man, when that checkbook comes
out and that that lady or that old usually no
guy or an old lady plops that checkbook down, Man,
(04:41):
you're in for a circus. And then the casher is
always looking at it like it's a hundred dollars bill.
They have to like look at it, double check it,
make sure everything's signed correctly.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And then they've got to run it through that thing
that it does a half circle. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
and it comes out like, oh, you have no money
in that account. Well, I'm gonna put money in that account.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You're not. You're a deadbeat.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Get out, get out, get out, out out of you know,
back in the old days when and I only know
this because I had a friend who did really well
for himself. He went to Northwestern, you guys heard of Northwestern,
very popular university. He graduated number one in his class
(05:25):
to become a lawyer at Northwestern, which is very difficult
to do. And so right out of college he was
going to get he got a job at Visa. He
was going to be one of the one of the
top lawyers at Visa. Coming right out of college and
they're going to pay him. I think it was three
or four hundred thousand dollars a year. Very smart man.
And so we're at a restaurant celebrating his graduation and
(05:47):
celebrating his new job. And we're in New York and
there were probably about twenty of us, you know, guys
that he's known forever, and he was going to pay
the bill because he got this beautiful, big, huge job.
And back then, you know, back in the eighties, when
a buddy got a job paying three hundred thousand dollars,
he was like a billionaire because nobody had any money.
And so we all ate, we all drank, we all
(06:08):
had a good time, and the bill came to like
twelve hundred dollars, and he used his visa card. Yeah,
he uses visa card, and he gave it to the
guy and the and the restaurant owner said, you know,
if you use a visa card, we're going to charge
you another four percent. And my buddy, who's the lawyer, said, well,
Visa doesn't allow you to do that. And he said, well,
(06:29):
we do it all the time. The soore, the restaurant
owner says, we do it all the time. And my
buddy said, well, I'm a lawyer with VISA and what
you're doing is illegal. It's against our policy. And if
we find out you're doing that, like you're telling me
you do that, we're going to take away your ability
to take VISA. And this dumb restaurant owner said, well,
(06:51):
I'll just call Visa tomorrow and I'll figure it out
with them. And my buddy said, dude, you're going to
be calling me when you call me, when you call Visa,
I'm gonna answer and I'm gonna tell you the same thing.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
So it was just a back and forth. Dude, dude, dude.
He's one of the greatest fights ever. It's like the
dumbest guy in the world and the smartest guy in
the world. We're having a battle and he's like, well,
I just call Visa. He goes, yeah, yeah, okay, you
can call Visa. I can give or you can just
talk to me right now.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Right Yeah, I'll be the guy you talk to, and
I'm gonna tell you we're gonna take away your ability
to take VISA if you keep doing that. Now, I
don't know if that's changed not since then. I think
they've they've relaxed the rules a little. But back then
it was a no no. It was a no no.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Couldn't do that, couldn't do it at all? All Right,
back to this, pennies from heaven, a.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Trend that saw a boost during the pandemic. So what
to do with all those left over copper plated coins?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, what do we do with these things?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Melt them down, add them to coin collections, or toss
into wishing wells. You'll find an endless source of inspiration online,
as for all those idioms we know and love today,
Soon you might be asking a nickel for your thoughts
or saying something.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Is worth every dime. New expressions in.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
The words guys loaded with them that no longer makes sense.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
God.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
The US would not be the first to ditch its
least valuable coin. Canada stopped using its pennies more than
a decade ago. Now there are one hundred fourteen billion
pennies currently in circulation in.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
These not wild one hundred and fourteen billion pennies in circulation.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
There are one hundred fourteen billion pennies currently in circulation
in the US, but they are severely underutilized. Many are
sitting in piggybanks the bottom of fountains are just casually
on the sidewalk with no one bothering to pick them up.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I went to Las Vegas with a buddy mine, a
guy named Jason, and he was broke. We're all like
sort of just trying to make it in life. And
he brought with him. He drove he medicin in Vegas.
He brought with him. I'm gambling at the MGM. I'm,
you know, trying to make a couple of bucks. Something
was playing blackjack or Pope or video poke or something.
And I see out of the corner my eye see
(09:11):
this guy and he's dragging a big, huge glass five
gallons sparklets bottle and it's filled with pennies and nickels.
And I'm like, oh, it's my buddy Jason. I say, hey,
what are you doing. He goes, oh, I'm going to
the room to separate the pennies and nickels. This is
my gambling money for the week for the weekend. And
(09:32):
I said, Buddy, I said, I don't think I've seen
anything studlier than a guy dragging a five gallon glass
water jug with filled with pennies to his room to
separate them. You are going to get all the chicks
this weekend. I'm surprised they're not, you know, flocking all
over you right now.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
The nerds to pull those buckets around from the machine.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It's unreal.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And he didn't have it, you know, he didn't have
it on a dot all or anything. He was like
rolling it and then dragging it. Like, oh, this is me,
that's my guy. I'm here with that guy this weekend.
And then he says to me, he goes, hey, you
want to come to the room and help me separate.
I'm like, yeah, sure, it should better.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
That should only separate right now. This should only take
about eight hours.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Oh that sounds like so much fun.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, dirty hands. Eight hours and what have we got?
Nineteen dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Ladies drinks?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Saw him?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Who's the guy with the dirty pause. It's my buddy.
You're gonna love him.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
We're talking about coins during the last segment. I know
probably interest you, but do you remember though they still
have him those coin separating machines. It's called like coinbase,
you know, and then they.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
They take a percentage.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, they take ten percent. Or if you if you
spend your money at the store, they don't take anything,
but you got to spend it all the store spending.
I have one at our credit union, and you know
the ones, and I go in like once every year
for two years with all the change, and it spins
around and you know, eventually you get like one hundred
(11:22):
and forty dollars and thirty eight cents whatever. But I
hate that that machine is is so like in everybody's face.
It's it should be in the back in a private
room where nobody sees how desperate you are, you know,
but it's in the front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Everybody walks in, like, hey, Tim, are you doing good?
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Good?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm doing good. So how's it going at the station?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, I'm spinning old coins, you know, so won't you
take a guess of how it's going. But it seems
to be I always get like caught in those pretty
dick comments.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's really like embarrassing things.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah, it's like weird.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Like I was fired over at klis X for stupid
crap that we did on the air. I wasn't suspended,
I was fired And I remember, you know, that was
before social media, so it couldn't tell anybody, you know,
what we were doing and wherever we go, and there's
no podcast or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I was just out of a job. I was out.
It was on a Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I got fired on Thursday, and by Friday, I had
no job and I had no money saved up. So
I was living in an apartment over in Koreatown, and
I walked over to Kinko's to make some more resumes
because I had to get my resume out there and
find another job. And so I'm I go to Kinko's
and I'm making my resume and I can hear on
(12:47):
the speakers at Kinkos. And by the way, if you're
you know, under eighty, Kinkos is a place where you
can go and make copies and and you know, FedEx
and stuff like that. And so I'm I'm going to
a copy place to make copies of my resume so
I can go find another job. And I hear on
the speakers on Kinko's they're listening to the guy that
(13:08):
replaced me. On on the radio, they're listening to ed
Till Come On, Everybody, Ed Tal Ed Till come on, Everybody,
Ed Till and I hear the opening song and it's
Ed Till with Jason Sloko and Malibu Dan My two guys,
and I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I'm listening to him, and he replaced me.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So I leave there and I go to that hamburger place.
What is it called Big Tony's or what's a hamburger
place that Tommy's. No, it's not Tommy's. It's like a
fat burger, fatburger. So I got a fat burger and
I'm going to get a small baby burger, small fries,
(13:50):
and small coke. And I see on the counter it
says ten pc off if you use your triple A card.
I was like, oh, okay, you know, and save some money.
So I break out my triple A card. I give
it to him and he looks at it and he goes, oh,
are you the guy on the radio? I said, well
(14:14):
I was, and he said, oh, he goes, how's it going?
I said, well, I'm using my triple A card this
to save fifty eight cents on a hamburger.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
How do you think this is going? How do you
think it is? I remember like being.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Embarrassed by that for some reason, but I'm embarrassed with
that coin spinner, you know, you go in with your
big bucket of coins, you throw it in, it spins
it around. Then you see these bombs come in. Who
my daughter's friends with their daughters, like, hey, Tim, howarre you?
I'm like, all right, I'm spinning coins here, you know,
take them to banks as well. That's where I go.
(14:53):
I go to the credit union. And it doesn't help
that it's so loud. Oh it's louder than help. And
they put that Starbucks cover over it, like when they
spin drinks over there, to make it a little quieter.
But then you always get funky coins that break the machine,
you know, Canadian quarters or those you know those pennies
that you squish at Knotsbury Farm that gets in there somehow,
(15:14):
and then that f's the machine up, and then they're pistol.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
The junk and fabric and everything in the.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Tray, right, yeah, like Jack's and ball right where that went?
Speaker 9 (15:27):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
A little spool. I don't know. I don't buy the spool,
but there it is monopoly.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They got to put those in a private room, private
private room, all right. Lax big rush out of Lax
did yesterday today and a little bit of tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You got to be aware of this. Everybody.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
We've been through lax on Friday or part of what's
expected to be a record breaking Memorial Day weekend for travelers.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Here that you're looking forward to, you know, the New Jersey,
Washington and the Buffalo trip. And yeah, I mean really
really excited about it.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Triple A predict a record set twenty years ago will
be pretty does.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Seem excited about it? I'll give them that.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Ready to be excited about it?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
It's really really Diddy excited about it.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
Ready to be excited about it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Really, I think I'm meant to say really really and
he said, really Diddy.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
Ready to be excited about it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Triple A predicts a record set twenty years ago will
be broken as more than forty five million people were
expected to travel fifty miles or more of this holiday week.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Forty five million people. That's a lot.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I was trying to go to Miami, but man took
us away to a Spencer, So I'm going to shill
out of the southwest side. Even though domestic flights are
a little more expensive this year than last year, three
point six million people will.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Be flying Man.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I'm a procrastinator, so I've missed so many flights from
this airport.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
It's so so unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
But yeah, I'll be uh, I'll be truthful with you.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Man.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
If you're a procrastinator, LAX is not your friend. You've
got to show up at the airport three hours before
a domestic flight, four or five hours before an international flight,
which does makes sense. If you're driving to Vegas, you
get in order to get to LAX by noon, you
have to leave your house by ten am, so that's
(17:08):
two hours LAX. Then you're there three hours before you're
five and then there's an hour flight that's six and
then you get to the hotel at seven.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's seven hours.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
If you fly to Las Vegas, about three and a
half four hours if you drive.
Speaker 11 (17:22):
I'm getting there pretty early now.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Real IDs or passports are required for flight.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh I forgot about that real iy ds. I wonder
how many people got hosed today with the real ideas
what I was just gonna say.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
There's been times when I did UBER and I was
taking people and the line was so bad they just
got out of the car and walked onto the airport.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh is that right? Yeah, dragging their luggage.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah, stuff, they're like, yeah, I can't wait longer.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I gotta go.
Speaker 12 (17:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I see people do that occasionally. If you're within a
you gotta be within a mile of an airport where
dragging your.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Luggage looks okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
But if you're like I see people in Burbank dragging
their luggage, I'm like, oh, there's a story there. Guys
dragging his luggage down, you know, boying Avi. Something going
on with that. I don't know what's going on with that, dude,
but something's happening.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
All right.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It is the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, big big weekend,
and a big shout out to all those brave men
and women who sacrificed and paid the ultimate price that
we could be doing this.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Here's a restaurant. It's actually a ghost kitchen. You know
what a ghost kitchen is. Well, if you don't know,
i'll tell you. A ghost kitchen is a way that
a restaurant can set up in your neighborhood without setting
up a restaurant like, for instance, let's say you enjoyed
Novo Cafe. Very popular, very good restaurant, Italian restaurant Burbank,
but they wanted to open up a restaurant in I
(18:47):
don't know, Arcadia, but they didn't want to go through
and open up the restaurant with waiters, waitresses, brick and mortar,
the whole thing. So they set up a ghost kitchen
and they can deliver you to Arcadia fresh food from Novo,
but it's not made at the vote Novo and Burbank
or Thousand Oaks. It's made in Arcadia, same recipes, same food,
(19:11):
but you get it faster, hotter, and more delicious because
of a ghost kitchen. And a ghost kitchen can handle
sometimes sixty seven or eight restaurants and make the meal
just as good as you remember at your favorite restaurant. Okay,
that's what a ghost kitchen is. Now there's one in
I believe it's in a neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think it's Echo Park, Is that right? Bellio? Was
it Echo Park? I think it was?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And the neighbors are complaining because there's so much traffic nowadays.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
This ghost kitchen, with over twenty vendors, very popular, a
very popular go to spot for all the delivery drivers
making those deliveries, but neighbors say it's not just the
traffic jams that are the issues they're dealing with. Ghost
kitchens are spaces food vendors can rent out and partner
with food delivery apps to deliver to their customers. I
(19:57):
went over then Echo Park Eats off Sunset and Douglas
has everything from Goop Kitchen to pizza and sushi, and
they're busy with homes just feet away. Neighbors say the
traffic jams the delivery drivers are causing has become a
major issue.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, it's a major major issue with the with the traffic.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
You know what, Stephush, I gotta ask you because you're
a fast food guy, like I am, your younger, so
you can handle most of it. Who is getting McDonald's
or Jack in the Box or are these foods delivered
to them by the time you get it?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Isn't it cold?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I well, I would only say it's when you're a
little bit inebriated.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh and you're high.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, So if like you just don't want to, you know,
be a danger to others and drive out there, that's
probably the only Yeah, because you're right, McDonald's and Jack
in the Box there's no point. Yeah, because you have
to eat them while you're you know, as soon as
you get it while you're leaving. Yes, you have to.
Corolla says that that there should be a watch tower
above each Jack in the Box and anybody that goes
home to eat it.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Like we got a runner. We got a runner.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He didn't need his pocos and long we got a
runner and then blast away. But I don't understand getting food.
And I see it all the time every time I
go to McDonald's or Jack in the Box, I see
people pick up food and it's a delivery service and
they're going to deliver it, you know, ten minutes later,
But twenty minutes after that meal is cooked, I don't
know if it's any good. Yeah, probably not. It's I'm
sure it's not. So that person's either very gone or hungover. Yeah,
(21:25):
and you know you're.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Not going to complain.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I'll tell you a story of what I thought was
going to be rock bottom, but it was not. A
good friend of mine, a guy named Randy. Maybe you
guys could put together what his last name is. His
first name is Randy, and he used to live off
of Laurel and Riverside, and he would go to his
(21:48):
uncle's place for Thanksgiving and his uncle, how about this.
Never heard of this in my life, ran out of
food on Thanksgiving. I've never heard of that happening anywhere
in the world where there's not enough food on Thanksgiving,
you say, in the world, in the world and any
(22:11):
any any like I know they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but
any celebration where there's either like a Christmas or a
Thanksgiving whatever they call it in Canada. Yeah, big ass
holiday giving and gathering. And they ran out of food.
So he gets home, he's probably you know, had a
(22:31):
couple of drags off of a jay, put his lips on.
How do you say el bongo if you know what
I mean? And he that's right. And this would before
food delivery services. So he called the taxi cab and
(22:51):
he said to the cab driver, Hey, can you drive
me through the Jack in the box drive through? And
he drove him through the jack in the box drive
through and the cab driver, I guess has seen this
act before because he pulled up to the drive through
window so the back seat could order and the back
seat could grab the food and do the transaction. Yeah,
(23:14):
deal with that. Guy in back and it was not
rock bottom, not rock bottom though in his case. All right,
let's get back to this delivery service, this ghost kitchen,
huge headache for Echo Park park.
Speaker 9 (23:25):
In the middle of the street. They even park on
the red tones and you know it wasn't a while.
The ticket to enforcement coms and give them a ticket,
but they don't come all the time.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
Emily, who did not want to be on camera, fears
for her safety.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What Who's gonna kill Emily because she's talking about traffic.
What kind of neighborhood you live in where you're like, ah,
I'll talk you about traffic, but please don't tell me,
don't show my picture. It's a rough neighborhood, rough neighborhood.
Speaker 10 (23:54):
Emily, who did not want to be on camera.
Speaker 13 (23:56):
Fears for her safety after a road range incident with
a delivery driver.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Oh okay, well that makes sense, I guess.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
After a road range incident with a delivery driver.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
Car cameras driving really fast and almost hit me and
then I went like upset, like I motioned to them
like I was upset. He flipped you in, followed me home,
was flipping me off, and then he went to my
alley wing and looked like he was going to get
out of his car and start fighting me.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So I ran inside a rough neighborhood or a rough
guy in a decent neighborhood, whatever it is, whatever the combo.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Is, and I'm scared of him now because that's the
same drivers usually. I'm scared to go walk back that way.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Because I'm with her.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I'm with her, young woman out on her own, probably
in her late teens, early twenties. And I completely understand that, Emily.
I now understand why you didn't want to be on
camera because some of these drivers are crazy, because.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
I'm scared it's going to be the guy's going to
recognize me.
Speaker 13 (24:50):
And well, not all neighbors have had run ins with
drivers like Emily. Many complained the drivers are taking up
room by idling and pumping out exhaust while waiting for
app orders to come in.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Okay, night in Quentekai. What do you say there, stephansh
do it again?
Speaker 12 (25:07):
Okay, night in Quentei.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
There's no room here.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
There's no room here, okay in quenti.
Speaker 13 (25:15):
Anthony, a delivery driver says, we're only working here. We're
not trying to cause any trouble.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You didn't get that one bag. Either you're wrong or
she's wrong.
Speaker 13 (25:26):
Council Member Hugo Soso Martinez represents the district and says
the city is already stepping up to find a solution,
but it admits the issue runs deeper.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, it runs deeper over there.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
Council Member Hugo Soso Martinez.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Hugo Shoto. What the hell Hugo Shoto did? Like a
like a robot.
Speaker 13 (25:45):
City is already stepping up to find a solution, but
admits the issue runs deeper. Ghost kitchens are so new
there's no official zoning category. This specific kitchen is licensed
as a catering kitchen, all meant for low volume delivery,
not the high volume traffic it's causing.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, that's gonna be a problem, and they gotta they'll
have regulation on that.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
In a heartbeat, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (26:14):

So there you go.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It's seventy five bucks plus tax and something else comes
out to somewhere in the eighties low eighties. But that'll
be fun. And the Queen Mary was kind enough to say, hey,
why don't you come down to the third, spend the
night on the on the ship, and then give you
know whatever talk on the fourth. I said, that's a
great idea. So they're very kind to allow me to
(26:57):
do that. So it's gonna be You go to event
bright dot com, event b R I t E dot com,
look up either Queen Mary or Tim Conway Junior or
Conway whatever, and or you can look under the title
of the talk and that title is unfortunately the humor
(27:18):
gene skips a generation.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Live with Me Tim Conway Journey.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
So it'll be.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Fun, you know, we'll have a good time.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
We'll roll around probably I don't know, maybe smoke cigarettes
and I don't know, drink and maybe get into some mischief,
some fights.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's
gonna go on.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I don't know, all right, Kim Kardashian, that trial is over,
Let's find out exactly how much time these lads are
going to be doing for ripping off one of our royalty,
one of our our royal the royal family here, the Kardashian.
Speaker 14 (27:53):
So we did just get the verdict moments ago and
the sentencing. According to our producer who is insight.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You may remember this, the the guys broke in and
stole a lot of jewelry from Kim Kardashian. There were
ten people that they arrested for this. They put ten
people on trial.
Speaker 14 (28:07):
So we did just get the verdicts moments ago and
the sentencing. According to our producer who was inside the courtroom,
eight people were sentenced to were acquitted. The maximum prison
sentence that one of the defendants got was eight years
in prison. Then we have three sentences of seven years
in prison, and the only woman who was on trial
here it was nine men and one woman. The only
(28:28):
woman on trial got four years in prison. The judge
said that he took into consideration the time that had
passed and the fact that the defendants hadn't done anything
you know, controversial, They hadn't broken the law since that incident.
And then he also said that he considered their age,
so you mentioned they are on the older side. They
were dubbed the Grandpa robbers by French media because many
(28:51):
of them are in their sixties and.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Set man in their sixties still going in and robbing people.
Speaker 14 (28:56):
And seventies, and so the judge said that ethically he
felt he couldn't sentence them to more than eight years
in prison, which is the maximum sentence for one of
the defensives.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
There you go, all right, they're going to prison.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Pasadena a guy went a little nutty and brought out
three long guns in front of an Apple store, opened
up the cases and was showing everybody. And it was
right as Channel five was doing a live hit out there,
and he called the cops on himself. Pasadena cops showed
up really really quickly. When you tell them you got
(29:29):
three long guns and you're on the streets of Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
They stepped to you quickly, quickly.
Speaker 11 (29:36):
In Pasadena this point, it's unclear what his intention was,
but what I can tell you is that he pulled
over in the middle of Colorado Boulevard and unloaded multiple
cases with guns inside as well as backpacks. He walked
towards the entrance of the Apple store, now. Our KTLA
crew just happened to be outside working on a completely
(29:57):
unrelated story and captured it on camera as he approached
the store.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
I am they one carrying big guns?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Some man sitting directly in front of the Apple store.
Speaker 11 (30:08):
The suspect called police on himself and appeared to be
on the phone with a dispatcher when he approached the
entrance of the Apple store in Pasadena with two cases
of guns and multiple backpacks.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
It was around nine forty five am on Friday.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Wow, Wow, what got into this guy? He's crazy out
there in Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Other tries to recorded from it to help me. That's
the person who tried to kill me? Who's the mother
of my children?
Speaker 11 (30:36):
Apple store employees were inside.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
He was complaining that the mother of his children tried
to kill him.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
Apple store employees were inside preparing to open. Our KTLA
crew happened to be in front of the store setting
up for an unrelated story on tariffs. When the situation unfolded,
Stephen Jensen eventually he opened the cases him.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
These are my guns.
Speaker 9 (30:59):
Would you have to see them? Fifteen?
Speaker 1 (31:02):
He's a guy, but he's got that weird ass high voice.
Not threatening at all, I know it's something going on.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Fifteen.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yes, well I'm currently not putting up the pace.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Then that's how coplation. Those aren't gun shots in the background.
Those are guys moving trash around.
Speaker 11 (31:21):
These witnesses visiting from England initially thought it was a
movie shoot, but we're frightened when they realized the guns
were real.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
And we like looked over in like the case because
he had like a massive gun. Don't I don't know
my gardens, but it was a big gun, and we thought, oh,
maybe not someone taking a video, and we thought it
must be a movie set. But then he seemed really
angry and agitated, and we thought, oh gosh, so we
started like walking off the phone.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I'm not gonna get shot.
Speaker 15 (31:44):
It's hair for me to be honest. When the place
officer got here, we started.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Filming a little Yeah, by the way, I think that's dual.
Speaker 15 (31:50):
It's hair for me to be honest. When the place
officer got here, we started filming a little bit and
we were like, right, we just need to get out
of him.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Cop showed up less than two minutes, two, then four,
then six. I think a dozen cops showed up many.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
They arrived quickly.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
When they when you're in Pasadena and they get a
call long guns in front of the Apple store. They
are on you quick.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
Within minutes, Pasadena police arrived and he was taken into custody.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
There's tackled.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
I FOS sixteen Promax has been packed.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I am just impressed.
Speaker 11 (32:36):
In a happy Pasadena policeman acted really fast.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
These gentlemen, thelemen and policemen. Who who? Who? Who got
him on the floor. He was very comfiding.
Speaker 11 (32:46):
The suspect left his car in the middle of Colorado
Boulevard to unload the weapons.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Wow, it didn't work out for that lad. All right,
to have a nice Memorial Day weekend. Think about the
men and women who sacrificed for our country. Anyway you can,
even the small little tribute or small little things goes
the long way. Moe Kelly up next right here on
