Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k if I am sixty and you're listening to

your buzz on right now while you're driving, because cops

doesn't like it, and the guy you plow it into
don't like it.

Nobody likes it except you.

to take the edge off. And I do understand, you know,
getting home and having a drink or blowing a little
weed or.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't know, you know, doing a couple of lines.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I do understand taking the edge off and leaving reality
for a while because reality is boring. Reality could be tough,
and that sometimes it does it. I mean people overdo it,
you know, they end up in rehab. I've seen friends
do them. I had a friend of mine who I
drank too much and he was going to have a
(01:00):
he got his parents were all together and it was
going to be what do they call that where you
get in a circle and you talk to the guy intervention.

They threw him out of an intervention. Yeah, for laughing.

It was radically insensitive. But then the guy who is
the middle of the inventor, inventioneer is that what they
call him, he started laughing too with everybody, and there
was a very serious moment. You know, they shouldn't have

An attack, No, because I I brought it on myself.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know, I didn't. I started the attack. That's not
an attack.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
There's a lot of rules to this.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
No, what like when you if you were to give
me a gift, you attacked me.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I did attack you on your birthday.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yes, you did. You gave me a nice gift card
to Novo Cafe.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, so that attack you did not like?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
No, I got I get an attack back. Now I'm
going to attack you.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
And I've been almost my whole life.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I've considered anyone who gives me a gift a personal attack,
and I've got to attack them back. And so if
you bring a gift tomorrow to Moronco, I'm going to
attack you back.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You can't buy everybody gifts.
Speaker 4 (04:37):

No, I'm going to attack back. I don't know how,
but I'm gonna attack back. But that's gonna be a
lot of fun. Tomorrow belly.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah, that's my favorite day of the year.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Monks, are you going?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Michael Monks is in for Krozier tonight? Are you going
tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
I happen to host the number of the talk show
on Saturday nights and I can't get out there otherwise
what will people listen to?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's right? That's right, all right, so you're hardy to
miss it? No, maybe next year at least company anoles.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, listen to the Number two talk show.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Ooh yeah, maybe you could record it and you know,
throw it on the air. All right, So iHeart It's
Conways Show at iHeartMedia dot com. And do it now
while you're thinking about unless you're driving, than do it
when you get home and they're going to pick ten
more people plus one and you could be a late entry.
(05:27):
You know, that's exciting. Conways Show at iHeartMedia dot com.
We have the Dodgers coming up. What time is a
kickoff tonight? Is that five? Five thirty eight? Okay, five
thirty eight, the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to sweep
the Milwaukee Brewers. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
(05:47):
Maybe maybe they did. Maybe if you're a big Dodger fan,
you did. But if they win tonight, they're going to
get a week off, which is scary, which is not
good for the Dodgers. Anytime they've had four or five
six days off, their bats get cold. They you know,
the timing is off, and it's not good for the Dodgers.
So I hope they win tonight, but I hope they
(06:08):
stay in shape and maybe have a I don't know,
a scrimmage or a practice game to stay sharp, stay sharp.
If they win tonight, Man, is that embarrassing? For the
best record in baseball this year was the Milwaukee Brewers
and for them to go down four straight to the Dodgers.
H Dodgers filled with these rookies with a low pay roll,
(06:32):
you know, barely enough guys on the field to get
by a team that's, you know, an expansion team that's
just trying to make it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
In the league. It's it's the it's it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
A hopefully a great game, Hopefully it's gonna be twelve
nothing Dodgers after the second second inning. That would be great,
all right, So the Dodgers tonight, five thirty eight. We'll
follow that for you and keep you up the scores,
and that will be awesome, all right, Dodge Tonight, Otani
is on the mount, So let's get a little piece
(07:04):
of this and then we'll get to monks here.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Otani pitching tonight, the Dodgers have quote, sweep dreams. Tonight,
we thought we'd bust out one of the greatest quotes
in LA sports history. It was back in two thousand
and nine in the NBA Finals, the Lakers led Orlando
two games to nothing, and the late great Kobe Bryant said, quote, it's.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Not over until it's over. Is that what he? That
was his quote? Job's not finished. That's the job's not finished.
Job's not finished. That's the Dodgers mantras.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
They have a commanding three to nothing lead against the
Milwaukee Brewers in this NLCS. Now, the Dodgers are trying
to win the Pennant for the twenty sixth time in
franchise history. Last year, of course, they won the World Series.
That was their eighth title and The mission since they
arrived at spring training has been to try to become
the first team in a quarter of a century to
win the World Series. Tonight, they'll put the ball in
(07:54):
the hands of their best player, the best player in sports,
defending MVP Belly.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I wonder if you can get away with this quote nowadays.
It's not over until the fat lady sings. Is that
something you can do nowadays? I don't think you can, right.
I mean, look, we can say it here in bringing
it up and asking, but like if you know, I
don't know, if if Rick Monday said it, I bet
you get a lot of emails. You know, it's not
(08:24):
it's not over to But that's it. But that's an
old saying that everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Start a new one.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay, it's not over.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It's not over until the uh, the the average weighted
woman sings.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Is that a little clunky? Honestly, I have zero emotions.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's not over until the lady on o Zempic sings.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, it's not over until the well fed lady sings.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That might still, you know, signal fat. Yeah, I don't know.
We'll work on it.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
How about it's not over till we all sing, oh.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Perfect, perfect, like Kobe jobs not done, keep going.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And I like how they always quote Kobe Bryant like
job's not done, Like he's you know, like that was
you know, something he created in the fourteen hundreds, and
he's this like Messiah, job's not done. It seems pretty simple,
you know. I mean, hey, put those bricks, you know
on that truck. Well, there's some bricks on the floor,
(09:27):
we'll put them on the truck. Job's not done. I
mean something like you would say in any business, you know,
any business, job's not done.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I don't know, it seems odd like Kobe jobs not done.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't think you need to quote Kobe that. You
could just say the job's not done. I don't think
you have to quote Kobe Bryant. I think it's insulting
to him. You know, a guy was one of the
greatest basketball players in the history of the world, and
there's that lame quote that's out there, Job's not done.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
He's probably had a million quotes that are better than
that million, and they they insult him by bringing up
that one.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And I won't do that. I don't do that to
Kobe Prime.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Dodgers started five point thirty eight. We'll have although the
score for you all night long, so you can keep
it here on KFI. We'll watch it for you and
then give you the score so you don't have to
watch them. I was at Trader Joe's about a week
and a half ago with my wife. I'm a new
Trader Joe's customer. I wasn't a big fan of Trader Joe's.
(10:32):
I don't like the small parking lots and I don't know,
I just I like my real products in my real
grocery stores. Lais potato chips, you know, Newts and ice cream,
I you know, I buddy Meat. I like all these
brand names. And when I went to Trader Joe's, I
couldn't find any of my brand names. I wanted, you know,
(10:55):
mister Peanut. I wanted Kellogg's corn Flames or or frosted Flakes.
I think frosted Flakes is the best cereal ever ever made.
I don't think there's anything close and frosted Frosted Flakes. Yeah,
and you know, I eat them sort of an odd way.
I don't put milk in the I just eat them dry,
(11:17):
and I don't like with all the sugar at the bottom.
So I use a strainer, you know, like you would
you would use to strain I don't know, pasta. And
I pour a bowl into the strainer, shake it for
about a minute, and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Then put it back in the bowl and eat them.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Kind of an odd guy, huh, interesting guy to live with, ton, Hey,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm just straining my cereal.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You strain your cereal.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
That's right, No milk, right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You take the sugar off of it.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I take the bottom, sugar bottom, and they and the
small pieces they all disappear.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And so what is it that you like about it?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Big flakes?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
You like the big flakes, big dry flakes. You should
try honeycomb?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
No, no, no, no, I'm not in I need the corn
is honeycomb?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Is that wheat? I think they used to cook the
sugar smacks? What is it?
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Weak?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Know this one?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Honeycombs I believe are made by cartoon bees. If I
remember correctly, all right, well, then they sound good. But
I was looking around Trader Joe's with my wife, and
I saw these things that look like uncrustables. And I thought, wow,
these are uncrustables. These are you know, the smuckers uncrustables.
And then I looked at them closely and they're not.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
They're everything on there except it says it has the
same you know, pattern, the same shape where it's pressed around,
the crust is taken off, it has a bite taken
out of it comes in the same flavors. And I
even picked it up and I showed my wife. I go, hey,
how do you think they get away with this? With
having a treat here that's exactly like an uncrustable except
(12:52):
they don't use the name uncrustable.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
What name do they use?
Speaker 7 (12:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I forget what they use, But it's in the freezer section.
If you walk into one burb.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm a trader Joe's peb and Jay sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is that what they call?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Okay, But if you go into where the desserts are,
where the ice cream is and all the stuff, it's
right on the right hand side there, and they look great.
And my wife is a big fan of uncrustables. She
loves you wait for them to.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Thaw, you know, sometimes when I like them, when they're
not completely Yes, how delicious.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Anyways? So I guess. Look, I had nothing to do
with this. Trader Joe's, don't blame me, but I guess
the people at Smuckers want to have a chawn to
talk with you about your new TJ's Peanut butter and
Jelly sandwiches.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich similarities with have Trader Joe's
in a jam This morning, Smuckers, maker of the popular Uncrustables,
is suing Trader Joe's, accusing the grocery chain of selling
an obvious copycat. A lawsuit says Trader Joe's Crustless Peanut
Buttered Strawberry Jam Sandwiches in fringe?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Is that the title of them?
Speaker 9 (14:00):
A lawsuit says Trader Joe's Crustless peanut Buttered Strawberry Jam
Sandwiches in bottom mighty?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Imagine how long this trial is going to be? Every
time they say the name of it, It's could be
ten minutes.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Trader Joe's Crustless peanut Buttered Strawberry Jam Sandwiches infringe on
the Uncrustables trademarked round shape and crimped edges.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think they are I think Smuckers is ride.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I think they might have to uncrimp the edges and
take the picture with the bite out of it off
the box.
Speaker 9 (14:27):
The lawsuit also says the picture on the box showing
a bite taken out of a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I noticed that. I noticed that. I noticed exactly that. Man,
it could be a lawyer.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
On this case is too similar to the Uncrustables box.
Smucker says it has no issue with selling with others
selling prepackaged, frozen, fawny, crustless sandwiches, but cannot allow Trader
Joe's to mimic design and packaging that make Uncrustables a
nearly billion dollar brand.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
This lawsuit seeks damages, a share of Traders Joe's profits
and a court order to stop Trader Joe's from selling its.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Okay, so if you like those sandwiches, you better slide
in there tonight and pick those up. They might be
off the shelves very very soon.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Smucker says it's out to stop the spread of consumer
confusion caused by imitation.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think it's a money grab, but I like, there's
real that's really a great brand name, Smuckers. I think
everybody has had a positive experience with that brand name.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Well, with a name like Smuckers, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Gotta be good.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's gotta be good.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
But but that's you know, that's the that's the treat
that you had. I mean, I think that's the first
sandwich you could make for yourself. Is a peanut butter
and jelly? Is that popular in Kentucky?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Monks? Peanut butter and jelly? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Oh, it's my absolute favorite food, isn't the best? It
reminds me of summer for some.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Reason, you know, they just I don't know how much
time you spend in the breakroom here, probably a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Well, there was half a peanut butter sandwich just sitting
on the free table all day yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You ate it? I almost did, idea.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
But man, you are radio. At first I was angry
about it. Who does that? Who abandons a PB and j?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Sure? But then two hours later I was almost desperate enough. Yeah,
that's a rate.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know, you have radio in your blood, bub you know,
picking stuff up off the counter, not knowing how long
it's been there, and just wolfing it down.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, the station has made me bleed multiple times.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, you know, they they had It's about six seven
weeks ago. There was a big plate of sushi that
was in the breakroom. Oh stop, and it was room temperature,
and I saw Bellio eyeball. She didn't take any belly,
but she was close. She was taking a lead off.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
First on these that they teased me with it.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Dodgers start in one hour from right now. So if
you're on the freeway trying to get Dodgers, staying to me,
have one hour to get into your seat. One hour
from now. Is Angel Martinez. Whether it's Angel, you will
us is Angel?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
She not with us? To dam She's not there.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
She might be getting herself an uncrustable She likes us.
Just want to see what the traffic was you want?
You know, I can look it up myself. I'm gonna
do you a solid here and figure out what your
traffic is like around Dodger Stadium. So bear with me,
(17:25):
all right, Let's find out what these what we're doing
here with Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
All right, let's go to Google mapps.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Boom, I'm on Google Maps and I got traffic in
and here we go.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
If you're on the five Freeway going south towards Dodger Stadium,
you're backed up all the way to Magnolia actually Burbank.
So if you're southbound on the five fer you're backed
up to Burbank. If you're heading east on the one
thirty four right round Buena Vista is where the backup
there all the way to Dodger Stadium. And if you're
(18:00):
on the two freeway heading south towards the five, that
backup is about to York Boulevard in that area. And
oly ch Angel's back with us. Oh, man, I was panicking.
I don't know how to do this. You're doing a
great jo Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. But you
know what's great is if you're on the one on
the one ten southbound coming out of South Pasadena. Man,
(18:23):
that's wide open.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
It is wide open, but that can change quickly because
just maybe two reports a go. I know, you're welcome.
The two southbound was wide open, just a couple of reports, Wow, okay,
and now it's loading up from York, so it's it's
tough out there, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And then if you're on the one oh one going
south towards the stadium, a little heavy in Hollywood, and
then it really backs up when you get down towards
Little Armenia, which is I don't know what is that
Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard, and it backs up
there all the way. Now, what about people coming from
Orange County and they're big Dodger fans, they've left the
(19:04):
Angels organization and they're coming northbound on the one ten freeway.
Where is that backup? Is that all the way to
the one oh five or beyond?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Yeah, so the one ten northbound is pretty jammed from
just before the one oh five all the way to
the five and Allegian Park. But you you know, also
coming out of Orange County, that five northbound slows all
the way out of Irvine. There's a little opening right
around the ninety one freeway, but you know, maybe a
mile or two the most, and then you're on the
(19:36):
breaks ahead all the way back to the one thirty four.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It's so tough.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And what about the ten coming out of Santa Monica.
Is that heavy?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh yeah, that's a bit heavier than usual.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
A little it's eased up just a pinch. Okay, since
earlier it was backing up all the way from Lincoln,
but now it's it's still slow, but just from twentieth
Street all the way into downtown. You know. What's also
tough is the one oh one, and you do have
those delays that you mentioned in Hollywood, but overall it's
loading up out of Agra Hills.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh, just about Canaan Road.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That's where a lot of Dodger fans are in Thousand
Oaks and they want to get to the game. And now, yeah,
you're right a Gora Hills. There's a nice Helpoyo loco
out there right off Canaan, But so Canaan all the
way to Dodger Stadium is going to be a mess.
You get about a mile relief between Calabasas and Topanga
and a little bit of relief when you approach the
(20:30):
four or five, but for the most part you're done.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh yeah, you had to leave earlier.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What are you doing leaving an hour before the game
on a Friday?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Who does that?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But Angel, it looks especially tough today for a Friday.
Is that just me or is that your perception as well?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
No, that's my perception as well, Tommy. I mean, everyone's
trying to make their way into Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's right, the big game, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It starts at five thirty eight, Thank you, Angel Martinez.
And so if you're headed towards the stadium, you might
be a little late. But you've got nobody to blame
for that but yourself. Because it's a Friday in Los
Angeles and you left an hour before that game starts.
How dare you? How dare you? You got expensive tickets?
(21:16):
You want to get a couple of beers and a
couple of dogs in you get to the game early.
Get to the stadium an hour or an hour and
a half early. It's great for your nerves. You can relax,
you can walk around the stadium and see all the improvements.
Maybe you can run into people you know they're you know,
you can text a friend, Oh, I didn't know you're here.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I'll come down.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I'll come down to meet you. But that's a great
vibe to get there early. But man, if you're on
the freeway right now and you're in Calabasas, you're not
going to get there for the start of that game.
I hate to say it, but I can't tell you
how many times I've told people, you know, I was
born and raised here. I'm not just some kind of
you know, country bumpkin from Kentucky. Sorry, sorry, oh, sorry, monks,
(21:56):
I wasn't listening. Okay, welcome to the club. But you've
got to.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Leave early, early, early.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
It's like, I bet you, monks when this is probably
the same thing. It happens in Kentucky. People go to
Kentucky and they say, oh, I'll leave an hour before
the Kentucky Derby, no problem, and they're not and they
don't make it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
You've got to leave early.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I mean, I've never I've only been to the Kentucky
Derby once in my life. I cannot believe the traffic
trying to get to Churchill Downs on the first Saturday
in May.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I mean there's one hundred thousand people there easily. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
And it's in the middle of the city, yes, just
like you know, Dodger Stadium is kind of in the
middle of the city.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It's not made for that. It is really tough to
get in there, all right. Anyway, I try to get there.
If you don't get there, keep it on KFI. We'll
have traffic updates for you until the game starts. With
Angel starring Angel Martinez. You want me to say then
and yeah, yeah, you welcome you walcome me open. But
it's not like every time or just that.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Once you know, you know, you know what to do.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You want.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Starring right, just down, starring Angel Martins.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
With a smile, say it with a smile, belly out,
come on? Who sorry, Angel Martinez?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Did Brian Long?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Why do we have a note on that? Why did
we get a note on that?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Because we haven't been doing it?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay, all right, so it says here, when you do traffic,
please introduce Angel Martinez, a starring Martin. Okay, all right,
all right, God Almighty gets weirder every day around here.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Dodger game starts in a little less than an hour
if you're on your way. There lots of heavy traffic
around Dodger Stadium, the entire loop around downtown Los Angeles's
jam ten on the south side, one ten on the
north east I'm sorry, west side, and then the one
oh one on the north side, and then that I
(23:58):
think it's a ten in the on a one on.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
The east side.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
But it's all halffed up, all of it, and it's
and it's impossible to get there, So be patient. You'll
eventually get there and enjoy the game. But it starts
in forty minutes, so I hope you slide in there
all right. If you're driving in Los Angeles, you know
(24:23):
like I do, where the busy freeways are, where the
dangerous ones are. But you may not know where the
dangerous intersections are where you could get killed or wiped out. Well,
I'm gonna let you know, so maybe you can avoid them.
Let's find out where you can get where you might
get wiped out.
Speaker 10 (24:42):
The second U wakes of the freeway in Los Angeles,
you may be hitted into one of the most dangerous
intersections in the city.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
What the lights the fay over there tend to be
very difficult to time correctly.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
Look closely at this map and you probably notice most
of the red. DNSA noted the intersections with the most
crashes closing injury death are either near the four H
five in the San Fernando Valley or along the one
ten in South LA. There's good reason for it, too,
According to Crosstown editor and USC professor Gabriel Khan, who
helped compile the car crash data from LAPD.
Speaker 11 (25:13):
Graphic and turning and the lane changing going on in
those situations. But there's also a lot of people coming
off driving seventy miles an hour and then entering a
city street.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
At Sapula and Roscoe, which was number two on the list,
there were sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Do you hear that?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Sepulvita and Roscoe number two in the city.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
At supulaa Roscoe, which was number two on the list,
there were sixty five serious crashes the last four years.
Drivers here are in surprise. There's a major wreck once
every three weeks.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Yeah, everybody just tries to rush in and going for
an ironbody.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
At the convenience store in the corner, manager Sean Ella
Robs says he gets constant requests from people in car
crashes to review his security video.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
You know, some people claim it wasn't my fault, and
I was like, you know when you look at the
videos and like people try to make a right turn
from the second lamp.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
It's just down Roscoe. Another intersection that cracked the top
five at Van Nuys Boulevard with fifty nine serious res
and a disturbing fourteen felony hit and runs. The data
it put together not just to let drivers.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Know which, yeah, that's a busy one. Burbank and Sepulvida
is also very busy. That's where it crosses over the freeway,
over the four or five freeway and it goes downhill.
And if you're not familiar with that, if you're going
eastbound on Burbank coming out of the out of the
dam and the Supulvata base area, and you're flying on
(26:30):
Burbank once you hit the four or five, there's a
tremendous hill there and the decline goes right in Supulvita Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It's real.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I see Rex there all all the time. Supulvita and Burbank.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
The data it put together not just to let drivers
know which intersections to avoid, but for those who live
or work in those areas and can't detour around these streets,
to see if there's a way to make it safer.
Speaker 11 (26:55):
The people in those communities who are actually quite aware
of this then have the data to complain and raise
a stink with their city council person, with their neighborhood council,
with a Department of transportation and demand some type of mitigation.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
I asked con if there were any places that maybe
surprised him, and he said, downtown La sure has a
lot of cars, but they're not moving particularly fast.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
So he was.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Surprised that this time around there were more downtown LA
intersections on that most dangerous list in veris Tikapudo. ABC
seven Eye witnessed news.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So on the one ten in South Los Angeles and
then along the four or five in the valley, that's
where the dangerous intersections are.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Got you careful? Please please be careful.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
A R.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We just heard dom. I'll wing down. Have time for that. Ah, hell,
all right, we'll do. We come back.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
But the Olympics are one thousand days from today. That's
when the Olympics start. I think it's July fourteenth, one
thousand days from today. We only have a thousand days
to clean up this hell hole, and I don't know
if we're going to be able to do it. I
don't know what we're going to do, you know, with
(28:06):
the homeless, with the graffiti, that building downtown Los Angeles,
that that skyscraper that's littered with graffiti that's been up
there for three or four years and we've done nothing
about that.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Monks, you always report on that. Is that still there?
It is?
Speaker 6 (28:23):
It's not been three or four years, it's been a
one hundred years. It's been a year, and it's been
too long. And you know, it's been maybe almost two
years actually, but you know, a year ago I did
a story involving a real estate agent who said it
was going to be sold by October of last year.
But it's not, and it's still an absolute disaster and
(28:44):
it's and it's right in a place where a lot
of visitors to Los Angeles go.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
They go to Crypto to see the Lakers or the
Kings or you know, the opposing team if you're a
Blackhawks fan or a Pistons fan, whatever, And that's that's
what you see of LA.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
It is an absolute, true fee example of Los Angeles today.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It should be on the flag.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You know, that building should be on the what if
the Los Angeles flag.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
I know it was a very popular Halloween costume. Yeah,
it was a really I saw some really good looks.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
That's fantastic. All right.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Dodger game starts at about forty minutes, almost exactly forty
minutes from now, So get into that stadium.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
If you're not quite there, don't.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Worry about it. I'll give you scores and updates. We're
live Conway Show and KFI AM six forty Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty four to
seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeart Radio app
It's k if I am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app, Ding

your buzz on right now while you're driving, because cops

don't like it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Nobody likes it except you.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
So wait to get home and then you know, spark
it up, hit it up, whatever you got to do
to take the edge off. And I do understand, you know,
getting home and having a drink or blowing a little
weed or.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't know, you know, doing a couple of lines.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I do understand taking the edge off and leaving reality
for a while because reality is boring. Reality could be tough,
and that sometimes it does it. I mean people overdo it,
you know, they end up in rehab. I've seen friends
do them. I had a friend of mine who I
drank too much and he was going to have a
(01:00):
he got his parents were all together and it was
going to be what do they call that where you
get in a circle and you talk to the guy intervention.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, yeah, I guess I blocked that word from my vocabulary.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So there was an intervention at a hotel and it
was a bunch of his friends, his parents, his coworkers,
his you know, his mom and a bunch of folks
were there.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
An aunt was there as well.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And you take turn speaking, and one of my friends,
I'm not going to mention his name, started speaking and
then he started laughing uncontrollably. That this guy got to
that point in his life where now, hey ask deevin
intervention and he couldn't stop laughing, and they threw him out.
They threw him out of an intervention. Yeah, for laughing.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, it's a little insensitive.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It was radically insensitive. But then the guy who is
the middle of the inventor, inventioneer is that what they
call him, he started laughing too with everybody, and there
was a very serious moment. You know, they shouldn't have
been laughing. Everybody, all right, we've got something that we
have never done before. But we've had so many people
(02:08):
text us and write us and dm us and email
us and write letters through the mail. Can I please go?

Yeah, well that's why I did it, you know, to
get the little praise around here.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
That's right, Okay, Okay, this is interesting. So you don't
feel that was.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
An attack, No, because I I brought it on myself.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know, I didn't. I started the attack. That's not
an attack.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
There's a lot of rules to this.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
No, what like when you if you were to give
me a gift, you attacked me.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I did attack you on your birthday.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yes, you did. You gave me a nice gift card
to Novo Cafe.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Well, so that attack you did not like?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
No, I got I get an attack back. Now I'm
going to attack you.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
And I've been almost my whole life.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I've considered anyone who gives me a gift a personal attack,
and I've got to attack them back. And so if
you bring a gift tomorrow to Moronco, I'm going to
attack you back.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You can't buy everybody gifts.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I know.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
No, I'm going to attack back. I don't know how,
but I'm gonna attack back. But that's gonna be a
lot of fun. Tomorrow belly.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah, that's my favorite day of the year.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Monks, are you going?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Michael Monks is in for Krozier tonight? Are you going
tomorrow night?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
I happen to host the number of the talk show
on Saturday nights and I can't get out there otherwise
what will people listen to?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's right? That's right, all right, so you're hardy to
miss it? No, maybe next year at least company anoles.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, listen to the Number two talk show.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Ooh yeah, maybe you could record it and you know,
throw it on the air. All right, So iHeart It's
Conways Show at iHeartMedia dot com. And do it now
while you're thinking about unless you're driving, than do it
when you get home and they're going to pick ten
more people plus one and you could be a late entry.
(05:27):
You know, that's exciting. Conways Show at iHeartMedia dot com.
We have the Dodgers coming up. What time is a
kickoff tonight? Is that five? Five thirty eight? Okay, five
thirty eight, the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to sweep
the Milwaukee Brewers. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
(05:47):
Maybe maybe they did. Maybe if you're a big Dodger fan,
you did. But if they win tonight, they're going to
get a week off, which is scary, which is not
good for the Dodgers. Anytime they've had four or five
six days off, their bats get cold. They you know,
the timing is off, and it's not good for the Dodgers.
So I hope they win tonight, but I hope they
(06:08):
stay in shape and maybe have a I don't know,
a scrimmage or a practice game to stay sharp, stay sharp.
If they win tonight, Man, is that embarrassing? For the
best record in baseball this year was the Milwaukee Brewers
and for them to go down four straight to the Dodgers.
H Dodgers filled with these rookies with a low pay roll,
(06:32):
you know, barely enough guys on the field to get
by a team that's, you know, an expansion team that's
just trying to make it.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
In the league. It's it's the it's it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
A hopefully a great game, Hopefully it's gonna be twelve
nothing Dodgers after the second second inning. That would be great,
all right, So the Dodgers tonight, five thirty eight. We'll
follow that for you and keep you up the scores,
and that will be awesome, all right, Dodge Tonight, Otani
is on the mount, So let's get a little piece
(07:04):
of this and then we'll get to monks here.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
Otani pitching tonight, the Dodgers have quote, sweep dreams. Tonight,
we thought we'd bust out one of the greatest quotes
in LA sports history. It was back in two thousand
and nine in the NBA Finals, the Lakers led Orlando
two games to nothing, and the late great Kobe Bryant said, quote, it's.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Not over until it's over. Is that what he? That
was his quote? Job's not finished. That's the job's not finished.
Job's not finished. That's the Dodgers mantras.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
They have a commanding three to nothing lead against the
Milwaukee Brewers in this NLCS. Now, the Dodgers are trying
to win the Pennant for the twenty sixth time in
franchise history. Last year, of course, they won the World Series.
That was their eighth title and The mission since they
arrived at spring training has been to try to become
the first team in a quarter of a century to
win the World Series. Tonight, they'll put the ball in
(07:54):
the hands of their best player, the best player in sports,
defending MVP Belly.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I wonder if you can get away with this quote nowadays.
It's not over until the fat lady sings. Is that
something you can do nowadays? I don't think you can, right.
I mean, look, we can say it here in bringing
it up and asking, but like if you know, I
don't know, if if Rick Monday said it, I bet
you get a lot of emails. You know, it's not
(08:24):
it's not over to But that's it. But that's an
old saying that everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Start a new one.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay, it's not over.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It's not over until the uh, the the average weighted
woman sings.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Is that a little clunky? Honestly, I have zero emotions.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's not over until the lady on o Zempic sings.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, it's not over until the well fed lady sings.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That might still, you know, signal fat. Yeah, I don't know.
We'll work on it.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
How about it's not over till we all sing, oh.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Perfect, perfect, like Kobe jobs not done, keep going.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And I like how they always quote Kobe Bryant like
job's not done, Like he's you know, like that was
you know, something he created in the fourteen hundreds, and
he's this like Messiah, job's not done. It seems pretty simple,
you know. I mean, hey, put those bricks, you know
on that truck. Well, there's some bricks on the floor,
(09:27):
we'll put them on the truck. Job's not done. I
mean something like you would say in any business, you know,
any business, job's not done.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I don't know, it seems odd like Kobe jobs not done.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't think you need to quote Kobe that. You
could just say the job's not done. I don't think
you have to quote Kobe Bryant. I think it's insulting
to him. You know, a guy was one of the
greatest basketball players in the history of the world, and
there's that lame quote that's out there, Job's not done.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
He's probably had a million quotes that are better than
that million, and they they insult him by bringing up
that one.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And I won't do that. I don't do that to
Kobe Prime.
Speaker 8 (10:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Dodgers started five point thirty eight. We'll have although the
score for you all night long, so you can keep
it here on KFI. We'll watch it for you and
then give you the score so you don't have to
watch them. I was at Trader Joe's about a week
and a half ago with my wife. I'm a new
Trader Joe's customer. I wasn't a big fan of Trader Joe's.
(10:32):
I don't like the small parking lots and I don't know,
I just I like my real products in my real
grocery stores. Lais potato chips, you know, Newts and ice cream,
I you know, I buddy Meat. I like all these
brand names. And when I went to Trader Joe's, I
couldn't find any of my brand names. I wanted, you know,
(10:55):
mister Peanut. I wanted Kellogg's corn Flames or or frosted Flakes.
I think frosted Flakes is the best cereal ever ever made.
I don't think there's anything close and frosted Frosted Flakes. Yeah,
and you know, I eat them sort of an odd way.
I don't put milk in the I just eat them dry,
(11:17):
and I don't like with all the sugar at the bottom.
So I use a strainer, you know, like you would
you would use to strain I don't know, pasta. And
I pour a bowl into the strainer, shake it for
about a minute, and.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Then put it back in the bowl and eat them.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Kind of an odd guy, huh, interesting guy to live with, ton, Hey,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I'm just straining my cereal.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You strain your cereal.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
That's right, No milk, right, that's right.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
You take the sugar off of it.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I take the bottom, sugar bottom, and they and the
small pieces they all disappear.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And so what is it that you like about it?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Big flakes?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
You like the big flakes, big dry flakes. You should
try honeycomb?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
No, no, no, no, I'm not in I need the corn
is honeycomb?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Is that wheat? I think they used to cook the
sugar smacks? What is it?
Speaker 7 (12:03):
Weak?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Know this one?
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Honeycombs I believe are made by cartoon bees. If I
remember correctly, all right, well, then they sound good. But
I was looking around Trader Joe's with my wife, and
I saw these things that look like uncrustables. And I thought, wow,
these are uncrustables. These are you know, the smuckers uncrustables.
And then I looked at them closely and they're not.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
They're everything on there except it says it has the
same you know, pattern, the same shape where it's pressed around,
the crust is taken off, it has a bite taken
out of it comes in the same flavors. And I
even picked it up and I showed my wife. I go, hey,
how do you think they get away with this? With
having a treat here that's exactly like an uncrustable except
(12:52):
they don't use the name uncrustable.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
What name do they use?
Speaker 7 (12:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I forget what they use, But it's in the freezer section.
If you walk into one burb.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm a trader Joe's peb and Jay sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is that what they call?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Okay, But if you go into where the desserts are,
where the ice cream is and all the stuff, it's
right on the right hand side there, and they look great.
And my wife is a big fan of uncrustables. She
loves you wait for them to.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Thaw, you know, sometimes when I like them, when they're
not completely Yes, how delicious.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Anyways? So I guess. Look, I had nothing to do
with this. Trader Joe's, don't blame me, but I guess
the people at Smuckers want to have a chawn to
talk with you about your new TJ's Peanut butter and
Jelly sandwiches.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich similarities with have Trader Joe's
in a jam This morning, Smuckers, maker of the popular Uncrustables,
is suing Trader Joe's, accusing the grocery chain of selling
an obvious copycat. A lawsuit says Trader Joe's Crustless Peanut
Buttered Strawberry Jam Sandwiches in fringe?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Is that the title of them?
Speaker 9 (14:00):
A lawsuit says Trader Joe's Crustless peanut Buttered Strawberry Jam
Sandwiches in bottom mighty?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Imagine how long this trial is going to be? Every
time they say the name of it, It's could be
ten minutes.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
Trader Joe's Crustless peanut Buttered Strawberry Jam Sandwiches infringe on
the Uncrustables trademarked round shape and crimped edges.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I think they are I think Smuckers is ride.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I think they might have to uncrimp the edges and
take the picture with the bite out of it off
the box.
Speaker 9 (14:27):
The lawsuit also says the picture on the box showing
a bite taken out of a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I noticed that. I noticed that. I noticed exactly that. Man,
it could be a lawyer.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
On this case is too similar to the Uncrustables box.
Smucker says it has no issue with selling with others
selling prepackaged, frozen, fawny, crustless sandwiches, but cannot allow Trader
Joe's to mimic design and packaging that make Uncrustables a
nearly billion dollar brand.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
This lawsuit seeks damages, a share of Traders Joe's profits
and a court order to stop Trader Joe's from selling its.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Okay, so if you like those sandwiches, you better slide
in there tonight and pick those up. They might be
off the shelves very very soon.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
Smucker says it's out to stop the spread of consumer
confusion caused by imitation.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think it's a money grab, but I like, there's
real that's really a great brand name, Smuckers. I think
everybody has had a positive experience with that brand name.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Well, with a name like Smuckers, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Gotta be good.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's gotta be good.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
But but that's you know, that's the that's the treat
that you had. I mean, I think that's the first
sandwich you could make for yourself. Is a peanut butter
and jelly? Is that popular in Kentucky?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Monks? Peanut butter and jelly? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Oh, it's my absolute favorite food, isn't the best? It
reminds me of summer for some.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Reason, you know, they just I don't know how much
time you spend in the breakroom here, probably a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Well, there was half a peanut butter sandwich just sitting
on the free table all day yesterday.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You ate it? I almost did, idea.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
But man, you are radio. At first I was angry
about it. Who does that? Who abandons a PB and j?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Sure? But then two hours later I was almost desperate enough. Yeah,
that's a rate.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know, you have radio in your blood, bub you know,
picking stuff up off the counter, not knowing how long
it's been there, and just wolfing it down.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, the station has made me bleed multiple times.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, you know, they they had It's about six seven
weeks ago. There was a big plate of sushi that
was in the breakroom. Oh stop, and it was room temperature,
and I saw Bellio eyeball. She didn't take any belly,
but she was close. She was taking a lead off.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
First on these that they teased me with it.
Speaker 8 (16:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Dodgers start in one hour from right now. So if
you're on the freeway trying to get Dodgers, staying to me,
have one hour to get into your seat. One hour
from now. Is Angel Martinez. Whether it's Angel, you will
us is Angel?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
She not with us? To dam She's not there.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
She might be getting herself an uncrustable She likes us.
Just want to see what the traffic was you want?
You know, I can look it up myself. I'm gonna
do you a solid here and figure out what your
traffic is like around Dodger Stadium. So bear with me,
(17:25):
all right, Let's find out what these what we're doing
here with Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
All right, let's go to Google mapps.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Boom, I'm on Google Maps and I got traffic in
and here we go.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
If you're on the five Freeway going south towards Dodger Stadium,
you're backed up all the way to Magnolia actually Burbank.
So if you're southbound on the five fer you're backed
up to Burbank. If you're heading east on the one
thirty four right round Buena Vista is where the backup
there all the way to Dodger Stadium. And if you're
(18:00):
on the two freeway heading south towards the five, that
backup is about to York Boulevard in that area. And
oly ch Angel's back with us. Oh, man, I was panicking.
I don't know how to do this. You're doing a
great jo Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. But you
know what's great is if you're on the one on
the one ten southbound coming out of South Pasadena. Man,
(18:23):
that's wide open.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
It is wide open, but that can change quickly because
just maybe two reports a go. I know, you're welcome.
The two southbound was wide open, just a couple of reports, Wow, okay,
and now it's loading up from York, so it's it's
tough out there, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And then if you're on the one oh one going
south towards the stadium, a little heavy in Hollywood, and
then it really backs up when you get down towards
Little Armenia, which is I don't know what is that
Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard, and it backs up
there all the way. Now, what about people coming from
Orange County and they're big Dodger fans, they've left the
(19:04):
Angels organization and they're coming northbound on the one ten freeway.
Where is that backup? Is that all the way to
the one oh five or beyond?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Yeah, so the one ten northbound is pretty jammed from
just before the one oh five all the way to
the five and Allegian Park. But you you know, also
coming out of Orange County, that five northbound slows all
the way out of Irvine. There's a little opening right
around the ninety one freeway, but you know, maybe a
mile or two the most, and then you're on the
(19:36):
breaks ahead all the way back to the one thirty four.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It's so tough.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And what about the ten coming out of Santa Monica.
Is that heavy?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh yeah, that's a bit heavier than usual.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
A little it's eased up just a pinch. Okay, since
earlier it was backing up all the way from Lincoln,
but now it's it's still slow, but just from twentieth
Street all the way into downtown. You know. What's also
tough is the one oh one, and you do have
those delays that you mentioned in Hollywood, but overall it's
loading up out of Agra Hills.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Oh, just about Canaan Road.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
That's where a lot of Dodger fans are in Thousand
Oaks and they want to get to the game. And now, yeah,
you're right a Gora Hills. There's a nice Helpoyo loco
out there right off Canaan, But so Canaan all the
way to Dodger Stadium is going to be a mess.
You get about a mile relief between Calabasas and Topanga
and a little bit of relief when you approach the
(20:30):
four or five, but for the most part you're done.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh yeah, you had to leave earlier.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What are you doing leaving an hour before the game
on a Friday?
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Who does that?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But Angel, it looks especially tough today for a Friday.
Is that just me or is that your perception as well?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
No, that's my perception as well, Tommy. I mean, everyone's
trying to make their way into Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's right, the big game, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It starts at five thirty eight, Thank you, Angel Martinez.
And so if you're headed towards the stadium, you might
be a little late. But you've got nobody to blame
for that but yourself. Because it's a Friday in Los
Angeles and you left an hour before that game starts.
How dare you? How dare you? You got expensive tickets?
(21:16):
You want to get a couple of beers and a
couple of dogs in you get to the game early.
Get to the stadium an hour or an hour and
a half early. It's great for your nerves. You can relax,
you can walk around the stadium and see all the improvements.
Maybe you can run into people you know they're you know,
you can text a friend, Oh, I didn't know you're here.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I'll come down.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I'll come down to meet you. But that's a great
vibe to get there early. But man, if you're on
the freeway right now and you're in Calabasas, you're not
going to get there for the start of that game.
I hate to say it, but I can't tell you
how many times I've told people, you know, I was
born and raised here. I'm not just some kind of
you know, country bumpkin from Kentucky. Sorry, sorry, oh, sorry, monks,
(21:56):
I wasn't listening. Okay, welcome to the club. But you've
got to.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Leave early, early, early.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
It's like, I bet you, monks when this is probably
the same thing. It happens in Kentucky. People go to
Kentucky and they say, oh, I'll leave an hour before
the Kentucky Derby, no problem, and they're not and they
don't make it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
You've got to leave early.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I mean, I've never I've only been to the Kentucky
Derby once in my life. I cannot believe the traffic
trying to get to Churchill Downs on the first Saturday
in May.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I mean there's one hundred thousand people there easily. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
And it's in the middle of the city, yes, just
like you know, Dodger Stadium is kind of in the
middle of the city.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
It's not made for that. It is really tough to
get in there, all right. Anyway, I try to get there.
If you don't get there, keep it on KFI. We'll
have traffic updates for you until the game starts. With
Angel starring Angel Martinez. You want me to say then
and yeah, yeah, you welcome you walcome me open. But
it's not like every time or just that.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Once you know, you know, you know what to do.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You want.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Starring right, just down, starring Angel Martins.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
With a smile, say it with a smile, belly out,
come on? Who sorry, Angel Martinez?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Did Brian Long?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Why do we have a note on that? Why did
we get a note on that?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Because we haven't been doing it?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay, all right, so it says here, when you do traffic,
please introduce Angel Martinez, a starring Martin. Okay, all right,
all right, God Almighty gets weirder every day around here.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Dodger game starts in a little less than an hour
if you're on your way. There lots of heavy traffic
around Dodger Stadium, the entire loop around downtown Los Angeles's
jam ten on the south side, one ten on the
north east I'm sorry, west side, and then the one
oh one on the north side, and then that I
(23:58):
think it's a ten in the on a one on.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
The east side.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
But it's all halffed up, all of it, and it's
and it's impossible to get there, So be patient. You'll
eventually get there and enjoy the game. But it starts
in forty minutes, so I hope you slide in there
all right. If you're driving in Los Angeles, you know
(24:23):
like I do, where the busy freeways are, where the
dangerous ones are. But you may not know where the
dangerous intersections are where you could get killed or wiped out. Well,
I'm gonna let you know, so maybe you can avoid them.
Let's find out where you can get where you might
get wiped out.
Speaker 10 (24:42):
The second U wakes of the freeway in Los Angeles,
you may be hitted into one of the most dangerous
intersections in the city.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
What the lights the fay over there tend to be
very difficult to time correctly.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
Look closely at this map and you probably notice most
of the red. DNSA noted the intersections with the most
crashes closing injury death are either near the four H
five in the San Fernando Valley or along the one
ten in South LA. There's good reason for it, too,
According to Crosstown editor and USC professor Gabriel Khan, who
helped compile the car crash data from LAPD.
Speaker 11 (25:13):
Graphic and turning and the lane changing going on in
those situations. But there's also a lot of people coming
off driving seventy miles an hour and then entering a
city street.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
At Sapula and Roscoe, which was number two on the list,
there were sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Do you hear that?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Sepulvita and Roscoe number two in the city.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
At supulaa Roscoe, which was number two on the list,
there were sixty five serious crashes the last four years.
Drivers here are in surprise. There's a major wreck once
every three weeks.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Yeah, everybody just tries to rush in and going for
an ironbody.
Speaker 10 (25:44):
At the convenience store in the corner, manager Sean Ella
Robs says he gets constant requests from people in car
crashes to review his security video.
Speaker 11 (25:51):
You know, some people claim it wasn't my fault, and
I was like, you know when you look at the
videos and like people try to make a right turn
from the second lamp.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
It's just down Roscoe. Another intersection that cracked the top
five at Van Nuys Boulevard with fifty nine serious res
and a disturbing fourteen felony hit and runs. The data
it put together not just to let drivers.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Know which, yeah, that's a busy one. Burbank and Sepulvida
is also very busy. That's where it crosses over the freeway,
over the four or five freeway and it goes downhill.
And if you're not familiar with that, if you're going
eastbound on Burbank coming out of the out of the
dam and the Supulvata base area, and you're flying on
(26:30):
Burbank once you hit the four or five, there's a
tremendous hill there and the decline goes right in Supulvita Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It's real.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I see Rex there all all the time. Supulvita and Burbank.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
The data it put together not just to let drivers
know which intersections to avoid, but for those who live
or work in those areas and can't detour around these streets,
to see if there's a way to make it safer.
Speaker 11 (26:55):
The people in those communities who are actually quite aware
of this then have the data to complain and raise
a stink with their city council person, with their neighborhood council,
with a Department of transportation and demand some type of mitigation.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
I asked con if there were any places that maybe
surprised him, and he said, downtown La sure has a
lot of cars, but they're not moving particularly fast.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
So he was.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Surprised that this time around there were more downtown LA
intersections on that most dangerous list in veris Tikapudo. ABC
seven Eye witnessed news.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So on the one ten in South Los Angeles and
then along the four or five in the valley, that's
where the dangerous intersections are.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Got you careful? Please please be careful.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
A R.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We just heard dom. I'll wing down. Have time for that. Ah, hell,
all right, we'll do. We come back.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
But the Olympics are one thousand days from today. That's
when the Olympics start. I think it's July fourteenth, one
thousand days from today. We only have a thousand days
to clean up this hell hole, and I don't know
if we're going to be able to do it. I
don't know what we're going to do, you know, with
(28:06):
the homeless, with the graffiti, that building downtown Los Angeles,
that that skyscraper that's littered with graffiti that's been up
there for three or four years and we've done nothing
about that.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Monks, you always report on that. Is that still there?
It is?
Speaker 6 (28:23):
It's not been three or four years, it's been a
one hundred years. It's been a year, and it's been
too long. And you know, it's been maybe almost two
years actually, but you know, a year ago I did
a story involving a real estate agent who said it
was going to be sold by October of last year.
But it's not, and it's still an absolute disaster and
(28:44):
it's and it's right in a place where a lot
of visitors to Los Angeles go.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
They go to Crypto to see the Lakers or the
Kings or you know, the opposing team if you're a
Blackhawks fan or a Pistons fan, whatever, And that's that's
what you see of LA.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
It is an absolute, true fee example of Los Angeles today.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
It should be on the flag.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You know, that building should be on the what if
the Los Angeles flag.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
I know it was a very popular Halloween costume. Yeah,
it was a really I saw some really good looks.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
That's fantastic. All right.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Dodger game starts at about forty minutes, almost exactly forty
minutes from now, So get into that stadium.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
If you're not quite there, don't.
