It's k if I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio Appy
if I am six forty, it is the Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What a Dodger game last night?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Man oh Man stayed up for the entire thing watching
it with my family, and I've never seen anything like
that in my life. That game went on and on
a total of six hours and forty minutes. I know
Summer is saying six thirty nine. I timed it out
six hours and forty minutes, six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Does that ring a bell at all?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It does?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Six hours and forty minutes. Do you know what kind
of shape you have to be in to hit a
home run? Hit the ball four hundred feet six and
a half hours into a game? Unbelievable, unbelievable shape that that? Uh,
Freddy free minutes. All right, Alex, we're gonna say we're
gonna have plenty of Dodgers, but we're gonna start with
(00:56):
Alex Stone from ABC News with a new alert from
the from the police ahead a Halloween and this is
very important to keep these kids alive.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Alex is b This is Alex, how you bup?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Ding Dong? Pig with you that the KFI game. Then
right six forty, Oh my god, what you know? That
was a more stimulating game.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I was exhausted watching it. Can you imagine if you're
at the stadium or if you're on the field playing.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Right and at some point they're just like, let's just
get this done. Let's be over with this, because they
knew they had to come back today. And how show
Hayes said, Look, I just want to go to bed.
I gotta be ready.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What a momentum swing. Now there's four there's possibly four
games left.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We already played three.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
It's best of seven, and Toronto has to win three
of those four, which is a very tall mountain to climb.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's going to be a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But it's going to be so hot tonight, or at
least warmer that they say the ball is going to
fly because the air will be least ends, so tonight
could be a home run game.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh that'd be great.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
The official weather sensor near the stadium, it's down the
street from it. For the for downtown. That was ninety seven,
is what it was saying earlier.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's that incredible. Yeah, late October early November nineties.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Air dry air, not a lot of moisture in it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let that ball fly. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
All right, I'm glad you're doing the story in Halloween.
I'm always warning the audience. You know you're gonna get
home two minutes later. Please please look for these kids
when you drive around. Every single year we do a
story of a kid getting hit, except for last year, Alex,
we didn't do one story last year. Nobody was hit
last year in southern California, which was a great and
(02:31):
also odd.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Good they're listening to you, and yeah, I mean there's
the other warnings that are out there about the candy
that they're going to get. And when we were growing up,
it was always the razor blades and the needles.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And nobody's ever found that. All that never went on.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm sure there was somebody who had that happen at
some point. But then mom and dad would just take
our candy and eat it that way. Taking this one.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What's the is it?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Bar thousand dollars? Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Want that, but that one's good.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Kids don't want that now.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But police say, what they are finding now is these
knockoff candies and chips that are sold at convenience stores
and elsewhere, but kind of the shady convenience stores and
gas stations in certain areas of town where where I live,
where around the house from your house, or around the block,
So it looks like they're Doritos. They say Doritos on them,
(03:23):
they say sour Pitch Patch kids, or they say skittles
on them, but they've got a bunch of THHC or
psychedelic mushrooms in them. And police in Warren, Michigan, they
just made a big bust of these things. They were
actually working on another investigation. They executed a search. Warren
went in and went, well, what's up with all these
Doritos and sour Patch kids And then went, oh, there's
(03:44):
a lot of THC and all of these and it
was being resold and then out there on the black
market and being sold in convenience stores and such.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But police, and we.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Thought for ourself a lot if a group of trained
investigators looked at this and didn't pay any attention, what's
your average higgen to do on Halloween? And we just
felt we wanted to get We're on the out there
to parents and run their children to be a vigilant
this Halloween season.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, what were you saying this?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Christ Leslie from sales comes right in and is talking
to me while we're on the air. I mean as
a salesperson, but mighty just end up just a complete
lack of ability to read the room.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So the maker of trolley and nerds and whatnot, they're
saying they're worried about this because the same packaging it
looks identical to what they're selling out there. But you know,
I mean, is this really gonna end up?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I don't think. I don't think so. I mean, this
is just.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Another one of those warnings out there. But could it
you know, long term, like a kid could into school
and then shares it. It ends up being sure in
that way. But this is what Ohio is warning, Arkansas's
warning Michigan. That cop from Michigan. So they're all warning it.
But if it's really going to go on, who knows.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, you know, Halloween his you know, historically it's always
been for kids, and then for some reason in the eighties,
h cor Is like came in and took it over,
and now it seems more of an adult holiday than
for children.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I mean, I think depending on where you live. You know,
our neighborhood's one of those where people like bus in
because it's flat and oh that's great door to door
and I mean we go through so much candy and
it's you just got a line of kids and you
look at it and you go, Okay, this is what
it's supposed to be. A that's right, yeah kid, Depending
on where you are, we had.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I think our record is two hundred and eighty five kids, wow,
two years ago. So my wife always loads up and
we'll be ready to go. But I don't you know,
the Yeah, the kids come in from you know, all over,
and I'd rather them do that, you know, and walk
through a safe neighborhood. I you know, then going through
parts of you know, this world that aren't that great
(05:43):
and save I think.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I told you a story before first year we moved
into the house. We're giving out candy and going, oh no,
we're getting most of My wife says, go to the store.
So I run over to to Vaughn's and there's nothing
on the shelves. You're just grabbing whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Come back. We run out of it again because go
back to Vaughn's. And so I go back.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I went three times and the time the last time
I came back, she was giving out my son's candy
and stickers and anything that It is incredible the crowds
of coming to our neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But I loved.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I mean, our son was so young at the time,
he didn't know the difference. But she's like, here's a sticker,
here's here's his candy that he got.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
All are you when you say your neighborhood, you talking
about Valencia specific neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
But yeah, okay, in the area.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, you know, we took our daughter and our daughter's
friend up to that area for Halloween. Man, there are
tens of thousands of kids up in that area.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You can't get your car out, and everybody's got smoke
machines going and light's going.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's great. Yeah, it's wonderful. It seems like the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, every other home is a cop that lives there,
or a firefighter or a reporter.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I guess that's right. So you know you're good to
go where you what? You watching the game at home?
I will be Yeah, that's right. You're not a big fan,
you're a Colorado guy. Yeah, I still got to watch
the World Series of course.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
If I were you, though, if I was a Colorado fan,
I would be rooting for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, I gotta go for the buddy. Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
If we don't speak to you before Halloween, I'm sure
we will, and but anyway, thanks for coming on with
that great.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Informiation bub with him.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You're the best dig dog with him, Alex Stone, everybody
with ABC News. What a game last night, and we
are only forty five minutes away from another one, another game,
and then after that another one. We're gonna have three
games yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and Toronto Blue Jays there's
(07:32):
four potentially four games left. They've got to win three
of them with Shoe Otani as one of the pitchers
and one of the starting pitchers, and then possibly Yamamoto,
who was gonna come off the bench last night if
there was a nineteenth inning. This guy pitched a complete
game and allowed one run in Toronto two days ago,
(07:55):
well now three days ago, and he was gonna warm
up and come on and pitch for your Los Angeles Dodgers. Unbelievable,
and what a game it was. I mean, I was exhausted.
I can't imagine if you were at that game last night.
What time you got home? I don't know, you know,
as a matter of fact, let's open up the phones here, Sam,
(08:16):
if you can unlock the phones. Maybe you you were
at the game, Maybe you just watch the game. You
got an interesting story, you want to get it off
your chest, You want to tell people you know how
great you are.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's possible. If that's possible, or maybe you're at the game.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We gotta, we gotta live vicariously through you, because Kursi
and I don't never ever go to games because they're
always going on while we're working, and Bellio and Angel
and Sam we just sit here in our own filth
right because we can't get to the game.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
But you guys can.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So if you're at the game last night, phone us
up here and let us live the game through you,
because we just can't ever effing go one eight hundred
five to two oh one, five three four and let
me know what time he got home.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I would I'd love to know what time some people
got home.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Getting out of that stadium is tough, But when fifty
five thousand people leave at the same time, I bet
it was three hours for some people to get out
of that stadium three hours.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
It was really I had my window crack last night
and Jen was asleep beside me, and I was watching
on my phone. And when the game ended, I didn't
say anything, you know, but you heard neighbors.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, out of her deep sleep,
she goes. Dodger's one. My wife was sitting on the
front porch and she comes in. She goes, hey, she goes,
the neighbors are screaming. I'm like, yeah, well, they're watching
the Dodger game because it's still going on. Yeah, it's
still going on. You know, don't call the cops yet,
you know. I wonder how many times the cops were
called last night because of screaming going on the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, a little over on Ivy Street and Glennondale, we
got screaming, kidnap.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
They probably watched the game.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
All right, here's the phone number if you were at
the game or you just want to share your experience
last night.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
What an unbelievable game.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
We may never see like anything like that again in
our lifetime. One eight hundred five two oho one five
three four one eight hundred five two zero one five
three four we'll take some calls. We don't normally do this,
but very excited about last night. We're live on KFI
AM six forty KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And what a game last night. I haven't seen anything
like that in my entire life. Eighteen innings. Will Klein
is a person I've never heard of before, and he
came on to save the day. He pitched I think
four five innings without allowing any runs. And then Freddy
(10:41):
Freeman comes up in the bottom of the eighteenth inning,
six hours and thirty nine minutes into the game and
hits a ball four hundred feet four hundred feet six
and a half hours into a game. Can you imagine
what kind of shape you have to be in? And
there's a lot of weird plays. Van made an arid
(11:02):
second that he never makes. They sent Freddie Freeman home
to try to score. He was out by about ten
miles and a couple of great plays, a couple of
goof plays. But it was one of the greatest games
I've ever seen. I've ever seen in my life, and
I was standing up for most of it, yelling, watching
(11:23):
with my daughter and her friend and my wife. The
four of us screaming at this TV, screaming. All right,
if you want to talk about it, maybe you were
there at the game last night. Everybody wants to get
it off their chest.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Where were they?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Very people are still excited about this. It's the talk
of the town. One eight hundred five two oh one
five three four. Let's talk to Randy here. Randy, you're
on KFI?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
How you bub.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Mister Tim Coley? Ding dong dong.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
With you, buddy, dig dog? Where'd you watch again?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
I was at home, man, But uh, I mean I
live on in like the here Pico rivera like borderline area.
And if you're from the area, you know, like whenever
the Dodgers went a big, big game, dude, the whole
like neighborhood turns into like the Fourth of July fireworks,
you know, middle of the night for like an hour
just and I have like a fireworks show in my backyard.
It's pretty. Sometimes it's an awesome thing. Sometimes it's not.
But it was great.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I was.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I was at the National League, the league championship game.
I was at when they when they beat the Brewers,
and man, it took me almost an hour to get
out of that parking lot and we were close to
the exit, but it took me that long because there
was two Dodger fans beating the crap out of each
other and in the in the in the parking lot.
It's like witness the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And watching it when you're watching it at home. And
it ended is that when you heard screaming? Did you
screaming around the neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
You know, my my neighbor is a pretty loyal Angel fan,
so I'm pretty sure he was asleep. But uh, you know,
but uh, I fireworks is what overtook the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You know what, the Angel fan have to be kicking
themselves in the ass. They had Sho hey o Tani
on their team, yeah they did.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
But you know what I think it was too, is
the Dodgers marketing man. I think that's what blew up
Oultani because he has a talent. I mean, I think
he won Rookie of the Year at one point.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But so you know, it's where you watch You're going tonight.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
You know, I coached myself soccer teams. Unfortunately, I might
miss most of the game, but I'll be watching it
on my phone afterwards.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, right, buddy. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And by the way, dig dong with you, dude, ding

Speaker 1 (14:20):
And that game started like at around nine am.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Nine Yeah, it started at nine am, that's right. And
like my whole plan was I watched game one and
two and Game three was coming on. I was like Okay,
I'll watch the game and then I'll go. I had
some things to do on the base. There's a Navy
base here that I used to work at.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Is that the one that Trump is visiting?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, that's what That's what ruined my whole plan because
the game went so long. Yeah, it actually, I mean
it was a beautiful game though, right, So.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So paint a picture for us mark how many people
in Japan? Did people miss work? Did people go crazy?
Obviously everybody in that country knows who he is?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Yeah, yeah, well not only him, but yeah, I'm Amoto
and Sasaki. Yeah no, they're really nuts about about all
of that. That's one of the things I really had
a kind of an epiphany about yesterday with Trump coming
here and meeting with the new prime minister.

The Dodgers start in twenty eight twenty nine minutes, so

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Michael Monks joins us, how you Bob. Good afternoon to you,
Tim Conway. I know you're not a Dodgers fan.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You're into the Red Stockings, the Red Legs, Red Legs yeah,
the Cincinnati Red Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And if you grew up a Reds fan, you hate
the Dodgers. Well, look, here's the deal. I'm a passive
fan and as an LA guy, now I'm a passive
la oh la. Okay, you know what I'm going to
tell you this as a Downtown La resident, I'm rebagging
you people. I'm begging you people. If the Dodgers pull
this off again, please don't come downtown and destroy it.
(19:59):
Doesn't take much. I mean, Downtown's already a wasteland, right,
Why do they pick Downtown to I don't know. They
burn metro buses, they do the donuts and the busy intersections.
It's so loud. Come down, enjoy the culture, the restaurants
and all that. Please don't light my neighborhood on fire. Okay,
all right, that's all I got. I heard before we
get into why you're here. I heard a couple of
things about you're filling in Thursday night seven to ten. Yeah,
(20:22):
Tiffany Hobbs and I will be filling in. We'll be
doing the seven to ten hours and talking the big
news of the day. It'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
We didn't get to this story last night, but I
know that you still have the information somewhere in your body,
somewhere the minimum wage. They are wanting to increase that
for city workers, construction workers, structure.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You know, they've already done minimum wage increases for tourism
workers at the airport and in the hospitality industry, the
hotels specifically, and that is something that was rather controversial.
I mean, the business groups tried to take it to
the ballot at the voters decide. They failed to do
that properly, so, but that was a controversial issue. We
already know the fast food industry got a mandated race.
(21:05):
So these sector specific minimum wage increases have become fairly common.
The latest out of La City Hall is for construction workers,
but very very specific, mid size projects only. We're talking
apartment buildings that have ten or more units, but that
are also eighty five feet tall or shorter.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Care and the minimum wage, by the way, would be
over thirty two dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
All right, So this wouldn't include the construction on the
convention Center. No, okay, all right, but you would think
that those construction makers are already at thirty dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
A lot of those folks may be in unions and
they get those union wages. But I think this is
a way to protect folks who might not be in
unions and working on some of these projects. Apparently, according
to city documents in this presentation, the median wage for
construction workers around here is eighteen bucks an hour.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh that's too low. That's way too low. Look, I
never have any trouble giving construction workers. You know, if
you're working outside in the heat and in the in
the cold, the rain, and also you know, in the
in with homeless, in the direc of LA, you know,
you've got a really it's a really it's a challenge
to work outside.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It's a tough gig. You have to. I mean, look,
if you're we're in a building right now, people might
be listening to us. In a building, a house, an
office building. You want to trust the people that put
that together that it's not going to collapse. I mean,
it's a skilled industry, so you want the best people
doing it. You want to make sure that they can
maybe live in the building that they're they're building, or
you know, we're talking about these apartments that are coming.
(22:36):
A lot of apartments are going to be built around
here very soon because of recent legislation. So this is
the city's way of suggesting that, hey, let's let's give
these folks a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
The city council today approved a study of the issue,
So they haven't voted to raise the minimal wage. They've
just asked for a study on the impacts, and that's
(22:56):
due back in a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Tomorrow is your weekly supper where you go out and
enjoy a meal. Here's how you know since COVID, I've
lost track of days.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Today at noon I put our trash cans out. Is
it not trash day?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I was the first guy to put them out. I'm
never the first guy. It's not trash day. Not trash
day is Thursday.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And so my BOFE was like, hey, why are the
cans out? I'm my god, I want to get a
jump on it. I got yeah's yeah. But you put
them out on a Tuesday. That means that nobody's home
because we put them out early because we're going away
for the night and people are going to break in.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I said, I'll put them back. Hey, does Burbank cite
you for that? If you put you know they have
a law.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
There's there's a law that says you can't, but they're
they're not very strict about it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, they strict about that in my neighborhood either.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
You know what they are strict about in Burbank, though,
is if you use your green or blue can for
something other than leaves or recyclables, they will leave you
a note on your trash can saying that your trash
can has been I don't like, infected, or you know,
I compromise, compromised, compromised, and then you got to go
(24:03):
through it and mix everything.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And you know what I keep telling my family back
home is La southern California. It's not a real place.
It's just not a real place. And it's not for everybody.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
There are a lot of people come out here for
three or four years, then they go back.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And I get that. I get that. I'm like I said,
I am the change I want to see in the
world I'm seeing. Could you go back to Kentucky? I
don't think so. Really. We were talking back in the
newsroom today with Jason Campadoni, our news director here Brian low,
the editor. I was explaining Cincinnati chili to them, and
that's popular in northern Kentucky where I'm from as well.
(24:39):
And that's the only thing I miss. I mean, it's
not from family and some friends I'd love, of course,
you know, I'd love to get together a little bit,
but to live there or to work there again, I
don't think.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
So are you East Kentucky or central or northern? I know,
but we're in the north the very tip.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
If you can picture Kentucky, and I know it's hard
to picture other states, but Kentucky the very very tip,
I mean connected by a bridge to Cincinnati, oh I see. Okay,
all right, So is that the Louisville area No. One
hundred miles north east of Louisville, one hundred and eighty
miles directly north of Lexting.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So when you fly home, you will fly in and
out of Cincinnati. Wish is in Kentucky, by the way.
Their airport is in northern Kentucky. Yes, yeah, And you
feel very like personal like like you you're personally attacked.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
People in Northern Kentucky, Ohio air are very protective. It's
officially called the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky and Airport and the
call letters are CVG for Covington, Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay, is that whole airport in kle thing okay, because
sometimes the runways are now there's a whole river between us.
I never knew that Cincinnati doesn't have an airport, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I was a bellboy a Marriott in Covington, Kentucky, and
it was called the Cincinnati Marriott, and people would fly
in for their business P and G you know, Procter
and Gambled, the companies are in Cincinnati. A lot of
people would fly in to the Cincinnati airport and stay
at the Cincinnati Marriott. And only when I'm taking their
luggage up do they realize what state they're at. Actually,
Oh wow, I had no idea. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
My dad played in Cincinnati. He was on tour, and
I think some of the nicest people in the world
came backstage in Cincinnati. They're all very well behaved, they're
all very nice, they're all very excited. It's a really
cool hynge, you know, mostly mostly nice, good people. And
the nice thing about the summers in Ohio and again, look,
you know, we can do news, but I'd rather talk.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
More personal traps.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Everybody in that part of the world either has a
boat or know somebody who has a boat and they
go out every Saturday and Sunday on the boat in
a lake or a river and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You know, I got no interest in that. I never
really got into like a like an I don't know
what do they call that inland lake. I don't want
an inland lake. I definitely don't want to be on
the Ohio River. It's not a pretty body of water.
Take me to the Great Lakes. I'm all in. And
how many times you've been to Churchill? Churchill down hundreds?
Paf All picked me up from Holy Name School because
I did live in Louisville until I was twelve, and
(26:57):
then we moved to northern Kentucky. I mean Holy Name
School was right around the corner from Churchill. Pat Paul
would pick me up. We'd go right there and do
our homework. You have no idea how jealous I am. Yeah,
that you've been there hundreds of times. I've been there once.
You just hear it. It was just background noise, you know,
from calling the racist.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So you're going to Catholic school and in the background
you could hear the race.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
This was a degenerate Catholic school right in the south
end of Louisville.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, we were all just dirty, little trashy kids, all right.
Thursday night, seven to ten The Michael Monks Show.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well, yes, I'll be co hosting with the Tiffany Hobbs,
who does a Saturday. Saw Tiffany over the weekend. She's great. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You know, I will say this about Tiffany Hobbs. I
saw her for the first time in probably a year
or so, and I gave her a hug.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
She gave me a hug. She has the most meaningful
hugs in the world, you know. And I'm not just
a not a hugger. I'm not either. I'm not a hugger.
You and I have never hugged. And let's just get
that clear. She hugs me.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
My show's on right after her. We hug on the
way out. And that's something I've had to get used to. Yeah,
and it's but it's a legitimate, That's what I mean.
That's what's so different for me, is like she means it.
It's not Hollywood Hall, No, no, no, she means it.
I mean part of her energy comes into your body.
It does.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Why.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, a quick plug. Chris Maryland and I will be
anchoring the election coverage from that very chair on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
On Tuesday, it started at seven two of us, seven
to ten, all right, can you come in early?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I'll do my best.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, yeah, I'd rather not go off that night, all right,
thanks monks. Thursday Night seven and ten with Tiffany Hobbs,
and then Saturday Night solo seven to nine, seven to nine.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
All right, you're the king man. Thank you. Is your
mom still in town? Nope, she'd be back in to simmer.
Does she cry when she goes to the airport. No,
we're not criers, we're not huggers. Welcome to La exactly.
We're live on CAFI. Look ahead is a look a
look a shell? Whole shell? How's your shell?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
How's your show? All right?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
We got a keyword we can give out one thousand
dollars if you have. If you're the lucky guy or gal,
you go in a thousand bucks. Here's how you do it.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just enter
this nationwide keyword on our website. Cash.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's cash c A s h.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Entered now at KFI AM six forty dot com. Slash
cash powered by Sweet James Accident attorneys. If you're hurting
an accident, winning is everything, call the winning attorneys at
Sweet James one eight hundred nine million. That's one eight
hundred nine million, or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Go to the website kf I am six forty dot
com slash cash and the keyword is cash C A
s H. And I don't know why we spell it.
I mean there's a theory behind it that people are,
you know, they need the confirmation that they heard it right.
But I would bet most of the people listening to
the station, can you know, belt out cash, probably learn
(29:45):
that before school, kindergarten somewhere around there, and it sounds
like we're talking down to you when we do crap
like that, But they just tell me to spell it out,
So cash C A s H. Hope you can put
that together. I really do believe that this audience. I
worked at kalas X for twelve years. I worked at
(30:08):
k at KBC for twelve hours, and I got fired
from both those stations, from KXLS and KBC, and then
I've been here for over fifteen years, and this by
far is the smartest audience. Anytime I f up and
say anything on the air, wrong. We get emails or
(30:31):
texts or whatever correcting it, and they're almost always right.
And the people you meet are not only do people
work at Target and Home Depot or Ford, but they
often run the company. When we had a I think
it was Catarina's Club a couple of years back, and
(30:54):
the guy said he works for Target, we had him
on the air. He stopped by the White House in
Anaheim and we put him on the air and he
said he worked at Target. And I said, oh, which one?
And he said, oh, I manage the West Coast. So
it's not like a guy who you know, puts on
a vest and pops into the north Ridge Target. He
(31:15):
runs all of them on the West Coast. That's a
big deal. And this is the station they listen to
K five and so when we would do and then
we do a remote, especially in Orange County, we get
a whole array of people from different walks of life
to come out, a lot of high end people, some
low end people, but normally high end people. And you
(31:39):
can reach out audiences well if you want to advertise
on this show. I think we have one slot open
right now, maybe two.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
All right. The Dodgers start.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
In nine minutes and we will keep you updated like
we did last night with the scores. We can never go.
You know, I'm so jealous of Petras of money. They're
out there doing a live show from Dodgers Stadium yesterday,
today and tomorrow and also with Rodney and Rogan. They
do a live show out there, and Kate's is out
(32:12):
there and David Vassey and it's a big party, and
we're stuck here in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, why why don't we get to go?
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Why can't we do a remote from there?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well, you're the producer, Bellio, I think the question is yeah,
Oh I think no.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I mean I think yeah, sure quickly? Didn't it quick?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But I let's let's all let's turn it around and
ask you why aren't we doing a show there?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Because you asked me?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And I have no control of that, but you, as
a producer, have total control.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Let's plan for next year. Okay, all right, next ye
we're gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
All right, we're eight minutes away for first Pitch show
a TODI. We'll give you scores all night long right
here on k I Am six forty.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway junior on demand from KFI
a M six forty
It's k if I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio Appy
if I am six forty, it is the Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
What a Dodger game last night?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Man oh Man stayed up for the entire thing watching
it with my family, and I've never seen anything like
that in my life. That game went on and on
a total of six hours and forty minutes. I know
Summer is saying six thirty nine. I timed it out
six hours and forty minutes, six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Does that ring a bell at all?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It does?
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Six hours and forty minutes. Do you know what kind
of shape you have to be in to hit a
home run? Hit the ball four hundred feet six and
a half hours into a game? Unbelievable, unbelievable shape that that? Uh,
Freddy free minutes. All right, Alex, we're gonna say we're
gonna have plenty of Dodgers, but we're gonna start with
(00:56):
Alex Stone from ABC News with a new alert from
the from the police ahead a Halloween and this is
very important to keep these kids alive.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Alex is b This is Alex, how you bup?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Ding Dong? Pig with you that the KFI game. Then
right six forty, Oh my god, what you know? That
was a more stimulating game.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I was exhausted watching it. Can you imagine if you're
at the stadium or if you're on the field playing.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Right and at some point they're just like, let's just
get this done. Let's be over with this, because they
knew they had to come back today. And how show
Hayes said, Look, I just want to go to bed.
I gotta be ready.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What a momentum swing. Now there's four there's possibly four
games left.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We already played three.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
It's best of seven, and Toronto has to win three
of those four, which is a very tall mountain to climb.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's going to be a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But it's going to be so hot tonight, or at
least warmer that they say the ball is going to
fly because the air will be least ends, so tonight
could be a home run game.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh that'd be great.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
The official weather sensor near the stadium, it's down the
street from it. For the for downtown. That was ninety seven,
is what it was saying earlier.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's that incredible. Yeah, late October early November nineties.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Air dry air, not a lot of moisture in it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let that ball fly. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
All right, I'm glad you're doing the story in Halloween.
I'm always warning the audience. You know you're gonna get
home two minutes later. Please please look for these kids
when you drive around. Every single year we do a
story of a kid getting hit, except for last year, Alex,
we didn't do one story last year. Nobody was hit
last year in southern California, which was a great and
(02:31):
also odd.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Good they're listening to you, and yeah, I mean there's
the other warnings that are out there about the candy
that they're going to get. And when we were growing up,
it was always the razor blades and the needles.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And nobody's ever found that. All that never went on.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'm sure there was somebody who had that happen at
some point. But then mom and dad would just take
our candy and eat it that way. Taking this one.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What's the is it?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Bar thousand dollars? Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Want that, but that one's good.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Kids don't want that now.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But police say, what they are finding now is these
knockoff candies and chips that are sold at convenience stores
and elsewhere, but kind of the shady convenience stores and
gas stations in certain areas of town where where I live,
where around the house from your house, or around the block,
So it looks like they're Doritos. They say Doritos on them,
(03:23):
they say sour Pitch Patch kids, or they say skittles
on them, but they've got a bunch of THHC or
psychedelic mushrooms in them. And police in Warren, Michigan, they
just made a big bust of these things. They were
actually working on another investigation. They executed a search. Warren
went in and went, well, what's up with all these
Doritos and sour Patch kids And then went, oh, there's
(03:44):
a lot of THC and all of these and it
was being resold and then out there on the black
market and being sold in convenience stores and such.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But police, and we.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Thought for ourself a lot if a group of trained
investigators looked at this and didn't pay any attention, what's
your average higgen to do on Halloween? And we just
felt we wanted to get We're on the out there
to parents and run their children to be a vigilant
this Halloween season.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, what were you saying this?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Christ Leslie from sales comes right in and is talking
to me while we're on the air. I mean as
a salesperson, but mighty just end up just a complete
lack of ability to read the room.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So the maker of trolley and nerds and whatnot, they're
saying they're worried about this because the same packaging it
looks identical to what they're selling out there. But you know,
I mean, is this really gonna end up?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I don't think. I don't think so. I mean, this
is just.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Another one of those warnings out there. But could it
you know, long term, like a kid could into school
and then shares it. It ends up being sure in
that way. But this is what Ohio is warning, Arkansas's
warning Michigan. That cop from Michigan. So they're all warning it.
But if it's really going to go on, who knows.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, you know, Halloween his you know, historically it's always
been for kids, and then for some reason in the eighties,
h cor Is like came in and took it over,
and now it seems more of an adult holiday than
for children.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I mean, I think depending on where you live. You know,
our neighborhood's one of those where people like bus in
because it's flat and oh that's great door to door
and I mean we go through so much candy and
it's you just got a line of kids and you
look at it and you go, Okay, this is what
it's supposed to be. A that's right, yeah kid, Depending
on where you are, we had.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I think our record is two hundred and eighty five kids, wow,
two years ago. So my wife always loads up and
we'll be ready to go. But I don't you know,
the Yeah, the kids come in from you know, all over,
and I'd rather them do that, you know, and walk
through a safe neighborhood. I you know, then going through
parts of you know, this world that aren't that great
(05:43):
and save I think.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I told you a story before first year we moved
into the house. We're giving out candy and going, oh no,
we're getting most of My wife says, go to the store.
So I run over to to Vaughn's and there's nothing
on the shelves. You're just grabbing whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Come back. We run out of it again because go
back to Vaughn's. And so I go back.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I went three times and the time the last time
I came back, she was giving out my son's candy
and stickers and anything that It is incredible the crowds
of coming to our neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
But I loved.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I mean, our son was so young at the time,
he didn't know the difference. But she's like, here's a sticker,
here's here's his candy that he got.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
All are you when you say your neighborhood, you talking
about Valencia specific neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
But yeah, okay, in the area.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, you know, we took our daughter and our daughter's
friend up to that area for Halloween. Man, there are
tens of thousands of kids up in that area.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
You can't get your car out, and everybody's got smoke
machines going and light's going.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
It's great. Yeah, it's wonderful. It seems like the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, every other home is a cop that lives there,
or a firefighter or a reporter.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I guess that's right. So you know you're good to
go where you what? You watching the game at home?
I will be Yeah, that's right. You're not a big fan,
you're a Colorado guy. Yeah, I still got to watch
the World Series of course.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
If I were you, though, if I was a Colorado fan,
I would be rooting for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Okay, I gotta go for the buddy. Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
If we don't speak to you before Halloween, I'm sure
we will, and but anyway, thanks for coming on with
that great.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Informiation bub with him.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You're the best dig dog with him, Alex Stone, everybody
with ABC News. What a game last night, and we
are only forty five minutes away from another one, another game,
and then after that another one. We're gonna have three
games yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and Toronto Blue Jays there's
(07:32):
four potentially four games left. They've got to win three
of them with Shoe Otani as one of the pitchers
and one of the starting pitchers, and then possibly Yamamoto,
who was gonna come off the bench last night if
there was a nineteenth inning. This guy pitched a complete
game and allowed one run in Toronto two days ago,
(07:55):
well now three days ago, and he was gonna warm
up and come on and pitch for your Los Angeles Dodgers. Unbelievable,
and what a game it was. I mean, I was exhausted.
I can't imagine if you were at that game last night.
What time you got home? I don't know, you know,
as a matter of fact, let's open up the phones here, Sam,
(08:16):
if you can unlock the phones. Maybe you you were
at the game, Maybe you just watch the game. You
got an interesting story, you want to get it off
your chest, You want to tell people you know how
great you are.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's possible. If that's possible, or maybe you're at the game.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We gotta, we gotta live vicariously through you, because Kursi
and I don't never ever go to games because they're
always going on while we're working, and Bellio and Angel
and Sam we just sit here in our own filth
right because we can't get to the game.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
But you guys can.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So if you're at the game last night, phone us
up here and let us live the game through you,
because we just can't ever effing go one eight hundred
five to two oh one, five three four and let
me know what time he got home.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I would I'd love to know what time some people
got home.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Getting out of that stadium is tough, But when fifty
five thousand people leave at the same time, I bet
it was three hours for some people to get out
of that stadium three hours.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
It was really I had my window crack last night
and Jen was asleep beside me, and I was watching
on my phone. And when the game ended, I didn't
say anything, you know, but you heard neighbors.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, out of her deep sleep,
she goes. Dodger's one. My wife was sitting on the
front porch and she comes in. She goes, hey, she goes,
the neighbors are screaming. I'm like, yeah, well, they're watching
the Dodger game because it's still going on. Yeah, it's
still going on. You know, don't call the cops yet,
you know. I wonder how many times the cops were
called last night because of screaming going on the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, a little over on Ivy Street and Glennondale, we
got screaming, kidnap.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
They probably watched the game.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
All right, here's the phone number if you were at
the game or you just want to share your experience
last night.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
What an unbelievable game.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
We may never see like anything like that again in
our lifetime. One eight hundred five two oho one five
three four one eight hundred five two zero one five
three four we'll take some calls. We don't normally do this,
but very excited about last night. We're live on KFI
AM six forty KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And what a game last night. I haven't seen anything
like that in my entire life. Eighteen innings. Will Klein
is a person I've never heard of before, and he
came on to save the day. He pitched I think
four five innings without allowing any runs. And then Freddy
(10:41):
Freeman comes up in the bottom of the eighteenth inning,
six hours and thirty nine minutes into the game and
hits a ball four hundred feet four hundred feet six
and a half hours into a game. Can you imagine
what kind of shape you have to be in? And
there's a lot of weird plays. Van made an arid
(11:02):
second that he never makes. They sent Freddie Freeman home
to try to score. He was out by about ten
miles and a couple of great plays, a couple of
goof plays. But it was one of the greatest games
I've ever seen. I've ever seen in my life, and
I was standing up for most of it, yelling, watching
(11:23):
with my daughter and her friend and my wife. The
four of us screaming at this TV, screaming. All right,
if you want to talk about it, maybe you were
there at the game last night. Everybody wants to get
it off their chest.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Where were they?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Very people are still excited about this. It's the talk
of the town. One eight hundred five two oh one
five three four. Let's talk to Randy here. Randy, you're
on KFI?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
How you bub.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Mister Tim Coley? Ding dong dong.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
With you, buddy, dig dog? Where'd you watch again?
Speaker 7 (11:56):
I was at home, man, But uh, I mean I
live on in like the here Pico rivera like borderline area.
And if you're from the area, you know, like whenever
the Dodgers went a big, big game, dude, the whole
like neighborhood turns into like the Fourth of July fireworks,
you know, middle of the night for like an hour
just and I have like a fireworks show in my backyard.
It's pretty. Sometimes it's an awesome thing. Sometimes it's not.
But it was great.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
I was.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I was at the National League, the league championship game.
I was at when they when they beat the Brewers,
and man, it took me almost an hour to get
out of that parking lot and we were close to
the exit, but it took me that long because there
was two Dodger fans beating the crap out of each
other and in the in the in the parking lot.
It's like witness the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And watching it when you're watching it at home. And
it ended is that when you heard screaming? Did you
screaming around the neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (12:48):
You know, my my neighbor is a pretty loyal Angel fan,
so I'm pretty sure he was asleep. But uh, you know,
but uh, I fireworks is what overtook the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You know what, the Angel fan have to be kicking
themselves in the ass. They had Sho hey o Tani
on their team, yeah they did.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
But you know what I think it was too, is
the Dodgers marketing man. I think that's what blew up
Oultani because he has a talent. I mean, I think
he won Rookie of the Year at one point.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But so you know, it's where you watch You're going tonight.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
You know, I coached myself soccer teams. Unfortunately, I might
miss most of the game, but I'll be watching it
on my phone afterwards.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, right, buddy. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And by the way, dig dong with you, dude, ding
dong dong with you? All right, Randy, Thanks man. Let's
talk to Mark here. Mark, you're on K five.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Hey, uh, another ding dong to you? Alright? You?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
But where what? Where'd you watch the game?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Orange County?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
No? Well, I grew up in Orange County, but I
watched it here in Japan. I mean you Coasco Japan.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Wait, you're in Japan right now.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
I'm in Japan this very second, christ.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yead it sounds like you're next door. It must be
on some kind of great cell phone.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Well yeah, it's a you know, it's actually soft Bank.
So no advertisement there.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I got to get where about where about that in Japan?
Are you? Are you close to Tokyo? You in the
north part south?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I'm I'm I'm kind of if if you think of
Tokyo's Los Angeles. I'm in the Orange County of Japan.
I'm about thirty miles south.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
And that game started like at around nine am.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Nine Yeah, it started at nine am, that's right. And
like my whole plan was I watched game one and
two and Game three was coming on. I was like Okay,
I'll watch the game and then I'll go. I had
some things to do on the base. There's a Navy
base here that I used to work at.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Is that the one that Trump is visiting?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, that's what That's what ruined my whole plan because
the game went so long. Yeah, it actually, I mean
it was a beautiful game though, right, So.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
So paint a picture for us mark how many people
in Japan? Did people miss work? Did people go crazy?
Obviously everybody in that country knows who he is?
Speaker 5 (15:04):
Yeah, yeah, well not only him, but yeah, I'm Amoto
and Sasaki. Yeah no, they're really nuts about about all
of that. That's one of the things I really had
a kind of an epiphany about yesterday with Trump coming
here and meeting with the new prime minister.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
And what do you do with Japan?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Yeah, well I'm retired now. I used to work for
the Navy, but I'm retired now.

I did one tour in San Diego two thousand and
eight to twenty eleven. I was in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Why why aren't you coming back to the United States.
You found Japan much more interesting?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Interesting might be the best word to say. I found
it safer. I don't want to talk to any crap
on America or let's do it in California. But yeah, okay, yeah,
I'm not going to get shot.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Here, right, You're not going to get shot.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Well, there's probably very few homeless guys cats in Japan.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah, and even the ones that are are really cool.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Though.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Homeless people here are really cool.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, but well, you know what I mean, I'm trying

it's true or not, but I heard that Otani makes
more money from his UH endorsements advertisements, endorsements than he
does from his Major League Baseball contract.

That's true, and I believe it.

You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

Speaker 2 (19:19):
AM six forty is Conways on.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
The Dodgers start in twenty eight twenty nine minutes, so
we'll give you a scores all night and hopefully that
game will end before midnight.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Michael Monks joins us, how you Bob. Good afternoon to you,
Tim Conway. I know you're not a Dodgers fan.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
You're into the Red Stockings, the Red Legs, Red Legs yeah,
the Cincinnati Red Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And if you grew up a Reds fan, you hate
the Dodgers. Well, look, here's the deal. I'm a passive
fan and as an LA guy, now I'm a passive
la oh la. Okay, you know what I'm going to
tell you this as a Downtown La resident, I'm rebagging
you people. I'm begging you people. If the Dodgers pull
this off again, please don't come downtown and destroy it.
(19:59):
Doesn't take much. I mean, Downtown's already a wasteland, right,
Why do they pick Downtown to I don't know. They
burn metro buses, they do the donuts and the busy intersections.
It's so loud. Come down, enjoy the culture, the restaurants
and all that. Please don't light my neighborhood on fire. Okay,
all right, that's all I got. I heard before we
get into why you're here. I heard a couple of
things about you're filling in Thursday night seven to ten. Yeah,
(20:22):
Tiffany Hobbs and I will be filling in. We'll be
doing the seven to ten hours and talking the big
news of the day. It'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
We didn't get to this story last night, but I
know that you still have the information somewhere in your body,
somewhere the minimum wage. They are wanting to increase that
for city workers, construction workers, structure.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You know, they've already done minimum wage increases for tourism
workers at the airport and in the hospitality industry, the
hotels specifically, and that is something that was rather controversial.
I mean, the business groups tried to take it to
the ballot at the voters decide. They failed to do
that properly, so, but that was a controversial issue. We
already know the fast food industry got a mandated race.
(21:05):
So these sector specific minimum wage increases have become fairly common.
The latest out of La City Hall is for construction workers,
but very very specific, mid size projects only. We're talking
apartment buildings that have ten or more units, but that
are also eighty five feet tall or shorter.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Care and the minimum wage, by the way, would be
over thirty two dollars an hour.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
All right, So this wouldn't include the construction on the
convention Center. No, okay, all right, but you would think
that those construction makers are already at thirty dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
A lot of those folks may be in unions and
they get those union wages. But I think this is
a way to protect folks who might not be in
unions and working on some of these projects. Apparently, according
to city documents in this presentation, the median wage for
construction workers around here is eighteen bucks an hour.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Oh that's too low. That's way too low. Look, I
never have any trouble giving construction workers. You know, if
you're working outside in the heat and in the in
the cold, the rain, and also you know, in the
in with homeless, in the direc of LA, you know,
you've got a really it's a really it's a challenge
to work outside.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It's a tough gig. You have to. I mean, look,
if you're we're in a building right now, people might
be listening to us. In a building, a house, an
office building. You want to trust the people that put
that together that it's not going to collapse. I mean,
it's a skilled industry, so you want the best people
doing it. You want to make sure that they can
maybe live in the building that they're they're building, or
you know, we're talking about these apartments that are coming.
(22:36):
A lot of apartments are going to be built around
here very soon because of recent legislation. So this is
the city's way of suggesting that, hey, let's let's give
these folks a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
The city council today approved a study of the issue,
So they haven't voted to raise the minimal wage. They've
just asked for a study on the impacts, and that's
(22:56):
due back in a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Tomorrow is your weekly supper where you go out and
enjoy a meal. Here's how you know since COVID, I've
lost track of days.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Today at noon I put our trash cans out. Is
it not trash day?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I was the first guy to put them out. I'm
never the first guy. It's not trash day. Not trash
day is Thursday.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And so my BOFE was like, hey, why are the
cans out? I'm my god, I want to get a
jump on it. I got yeah's yeah. But you put
them out on a Tuesday. That means that nobody's home
because we put them out early because we're going away
for the night and people are going to break in.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I said, I'll put them back. Hey, does Burbank cite
you for that? If you put you know they have
a law.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
There's there's a law that says you can't, but they're
they're not very strict about it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, they strict about that in my neighborhood either.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
You know what they are strict about in Burbank, though,
is if you use your green or blue can for
something other than leaves or recyclables, they will leave you
a note on your trash can saying that your trash
can has been I don't like, infected, or you know,
I compromise, compromised, compromised, and then you got to go
(24:03):
through it and mix everything.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
And you know what I keep telling my family back
home is La southern California. It's not a real place.
It's just not a real place. And it's not for everybody.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
There are a lot of people come out here for
three or four years, then they go back.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And I get that. I get that. I'm like I said,
I am the change I want to see in the
world I'm seeing. Could you go back to Kentucky? I
don't think so. Really. We were talking back in the
newsroom today with Jason Campadoni, our news director here Brian low,
the editor. I was explaining Cincinnati chili to them, and
that's popular in northern Kentucky where I'm from as well.
(24:39):
And that's the only thing I miss. I mean, it's
not from family and some friends I'd love, of course,
you know, I'd love to get together a little bit,
but to live there or to work there again, I
don't think.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
So are you East Kentucky or central or northern? I know,
but we're in the north the very tip.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
If you can picture Kentucky, and I know it's hard
to picture other states, but Kentucky the very very tip,
I mean connected by a bridge to Cincinnati, oh I see. Okay,
all right, So is that the Louisville area No. One
hundred miles north east of Louisville, one hundred and eighty
miles directly north of Lexting.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
So when you fly home, you will fly in and
out of Cincinnati. Wish is in Kentucky, by the way.
Their airport is in northern Kentucky. Yes, yeah, And you
feel very like personal like like you you're personally attacked.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
People in Northern Kentucky, Ohio air are very protective. It's
officially called the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky and Airport and the
call letters are CVG for Covington, Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay, is that whole airport in kle thing okay, because
sometimes the runways are now there's a whole river between us.
I never knew that Cincinnati doesn't have an airport, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I was a bellboy a Marriott in Covington, Kentucky, and
it was called the Cincinnati Marriott, and people would fly
in for their business P and G you know, Procter
and Gambled, the companies are in Cincinnati. A lot of
people would fly in to the Cincinnati airport and stay
at the Cincinnati Marriott. And only when I'm taking their
luggage up do they realize what state they're at. Actually,
Oh wow, I had no idea. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
My dad played in Cincinnati. He was on tour, and
I think some of the nicest people in the world
came backstage in Cincinnati. They're all very well behaved, they're
all very nice, they're all very excited. It's a really
cool hynge, you know, mostly mostly nice, good people. And
the nice thing about the summers in Ohio and again, look,
you know, we can do news, but I'd rather talk.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
More personal traps.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Everybody in that part of the world either has a
boat or know somebody who has a boat and they
go out every Saturday and Sunday on the boat in
a lake or a river and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
You know, I got no interest in that. I never
really got into like a like an I don't know
what do they call that inland lake. I don't want
an inland lake. I definitely don't want to be on
the Ohio River. It's not a pretty body of water.
Take me to the Great Lakes. I'm all in. And
how many times you've been to Churchill? Churchill down hundreds?
Paf All picked me up from Holy Name School because
I did live in Louisville until I was twelve, and
(26:57):
then we moved to northern Kentucky. I mean Holy Name
School was right around the corner from Churchill. Pat Paul
would pick me up. We'd go right there and do
our homework. You have no idea how jealous I am. Yeah,
that you've been there hundreds of times. I've been there once.
You just hear it. It was just background noise, you know,
from calling the racist.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So you're going to Catholic school and in the background
you could hear the race.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
This was a degenerate Catholic school right in the south
end of Louisville.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, we were all just dirty, little trashy kids, all right.
Thursday night, seven to ten The Michael Monks Show.

Well, yes, I'll be co hosting with the Tiffany Hobbs,
who does a Saturday. Saw Tiffany over the weekend. She's great. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You know, I will say this about Tiffany Hobbs. I
saw her for the first time in probably a year
or so, and I gave her a hug.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
She gave me a hug. She has the most meaningful
hugs in the world, you know. And I'm not just
a not a hugger. I'm not either. I'm not a hugger.
You and I have never hugged. And let's just get
that clear. She hugs me.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
My show's on right after her. We hug on the
way out. And that's something I've had to get used to. Yeah,
and it's but it's a legitimate, That's what I mean.
That's what's so different for me, is like she means it.
It's not Hollywood Hall, No, no, no, she means it.
I mean part of her energy comes into your body.
It does.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Why.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, a quick plug. Chris Maryland and I will be
anchoring the election coverage from that very chair on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
On Tuesday, it started at seven two of us, seven
to ten, all right, can you come in early?
Speaker 2 (28:19):

Speaker 2 (28:29):
All right, you're the king man. Thank you. Is your
mom still in town? Nope, she'd be back in to simmer.
Does she cry when she goes to the airport. No,
we're not criers, we're not huggers. Welcome to La exactly.
We're live on CAFI. Look ahead is a look a
look a shell? Whole shell? How's your shell?
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
How's your show? All right?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
We got a keyword we can give out one thousand
dollars if you have. If you're the lucky guy or gal,
you go in a thousand bucks. Here's how you do it.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just enter
this nationwide keyword on our website. Cash.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's cash c A s h.
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Entered now at KFI AM six forty dot com. Slash
cash powered by Sweet James Accident attorneys. If you're hurting
an accident, winning is everything, call the winning attorneys at
Sweet James one eight hundred nine million. That's one eight
hundred nine million, or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Go to the website kf I am six forty dot
com slash cash and the keyword is cash C A
s H. And I don't know why we spell it.
I mean there's a theory behind it that people are,
you know, they need the confirmation that they heard it right.
But I would bet most of the people listening to
the station, can you know, belt out cash, probably learn
(29:45):
that before school, kindergarten somewhere around there, and it sounds
like we're talking down to you when we do crap
like that, But they just tell me to spell it out,
So cash C A s H. Hope you can put
that together. I really do believe that this audience. I
worked at kalas X for twelve years. I worked at
(30:08):
k at KBC for twelve hours, and I got fired
from both those stations, from KXLS and KBC, and then
I've been here for over fifteen years, and this by
far is the smartest audience. Anytime I f up and
say anything on the air, wrong. We get emails or
(30:31):
texts or whatever correcting it, and they're almost always right.
And the people you meet are not only do people
work at Target and Home Depot or Ford, but they
often run the company. When we had a I think
it was Catarina's Club a couple of years back, and
(30:54):
the guy said he works for Target, we had him
on the air. He stopped by the White House in
Anaheim and we put him on the air and he
said he worked at Target. And I said, oh, which one?
And he said, oh, I manage the West Coast. So
it's not like a guy who you know, puts on
a vest and pops into the north Ridge Target. He
(31:15):
runs all of them on the West Coast. That's a
big deal. And this is the station they listen to
K five and so when we would do and then
we do a remote, especially in Orange County, we get
a whole array of people from different walks of life
to come out, a lot of high end people, some
low end people, but normally high end people. And you
(31:39):
can reach out audiences well if you want to advertise
on this show. I think we have one slot open
right now, maybe two.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
All right. The Dodgers start.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
In nine minutes and we will keep you updated like
we did last night with the scores. We can never go.
You know, I'm so jealous of Petras of money. They're
out there doing a live show from Dodgers Stadium yesterday,
today and tomorrow and also with Rodney and Rogan. They
do a live show out there, and Kate's is out
(32:12):
there and David Vassey and it's a big party, and
we're stuck here in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, why why don't we get to go?
Speaker 5 (32:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Why can't we do a remote from there?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well, you're the producer, Bellio, I think the question is yeah,
Oh I think no.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I mean I think yeah, sure quickly? Didn't it quick?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
But I let's let's all let's turn it around and
ask you why aren't we doing a show there?
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Because you asked me?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
And I have no control of that, but you, as
a producer, have total control.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Let's plan for next year. Okay, all right, next ye
we're gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
All right, we're eight minutes away for first Pitch show
a TODI. We'll give you scores all night long right
here on k I Am six forty.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway junior on demand from KFI
