Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. If they're
on time, they're at Dodger Stadium. They usually are because
the Dodger pitcher warms up and they've got to start
that game on time because he sets his warm up
pattern and procedures to the start time and you cannot
(00:23):
delay it or else he gets cold and it's a disadvantage.
So they got to start pretty much on time. When
they say five to eight, they usually try to start
exactly at five away. There's been a massive bet made
on the Los Angeles Dodgers. A kid has sold everything
he owns. Everything he owns has been sold, and he
(00:43):
took the two hundred thousand dollars, took it to Las
Vegas in cash and bet that the Los Angeles Dodgers
win the World Series. Now it's a money line bet,
so he's not gonna get double his money if he wins.
Let me see bet two hundred thousand, so he'll probably
get three twenty five back, which is a great, great week.
(01:04):
You know, he put two hundred thousand down, you get
three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars back.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
That's a great week.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
But if the Dodgers end up losing to the Blue Jays,
he's out everything, he owns nothing, He's sold everything, borrowed
money from people, and he thinks this is gonna be
a payday. Let's find out more about this kid. Is
my kind of kid. I like guys like this.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
This guy, even he will admit this brought out his
nutty side. Following in his dad's footsteps, he was one
of the best poker players in the world at a
young age, transitioned into sports betting, where he found his
true calling, putting his life on the line in this
World Series for our boys in blue.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
You ever have that intuition feeling that you just know
something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yes, and it usually it costs me a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Sean Perry feels so strongly in the Dodgers next World Series.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Win that he put everything on the line.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Guy, every single dollar I need.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I sold my car and sold all my belongings and
borrowed some money for some very dangerous people on the street.
Speaker 8 (02:06):
She one hundred and twenty five thousand, turning Dodgers to
win the serious place.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He had the cash with him when he walked into
the casino, stacks and stacks of one hundred dollars bills
two hundred thousand dollars to win on the La Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
She one hundred and twenty five thousand, turning Dodgers to
win the serious placed ain't losen Uslobia's dead.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Man wants it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And once they give I'm sorry's two hundred twenty five thousand.
Once they give you that ticket, you have got to
hold onto that ticket. You lose that ticket, it's over.
So he's got that ticket in his wallet. It says,
Dodgers to win two hundred and twenty five thousand, he'll
get back three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
He has got to be nervous about this.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
By the time Perry counts for hotels, tickets to all
seven games, and a pricing present for his favorite player.
Perry wouldn't that profit about twenty five grand and what
he calls a guaranteed win for show?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Hey, I need a big favor from you.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Please continue Dominis, and if you win the series for me,
I promise.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
To buy you a Rolex Watch.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
So I'm taking home three hundred and twenty five thousand
when I went.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Except for the watch that you have to buy for showing.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So yeah, I'll probably spend like twenty five k on
that for a nice rolex, So.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Better get him a good one.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Oh yeah, this isn't the Vegas sports betters.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
First, I have a feeling that this kid is in
for a roller coaster of a life if he's going
to spend everything he owns on one bed and then
offer to buy Shoeo Tani a Rolex which he probably
doesn't need for twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
This isn't the Vegas sports betters.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
For shein in again?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
God, so what does his girlfriend think of his antics?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Definitely crazy? But I left the ride righter and I who.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Are these sketchy guys that he borrowed the money from?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Who are the sketchy guys that he borrowed that kind
of money from?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Last I talk the better, promising to stick by his
side Winter.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I like this couple. This is my kind of couple.
This is a great couple.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Belly.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
We should try to them if they win. If not,
you know, they'll come in here and steal a bunch
of crap. But if they do win, we should try
to get him on the air Winter Lose.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
If you don't have any money, how are you going
to pay for a Dodger dog?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Well, the same way I got the money to make
the best. I have good credit on the streets, so
I've been borrowing money.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Let's go Dodgers, Baby, Let's go Showy, big.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Big woo baby, Let's go.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Doesn't he kind of remind you of Adam Sandler?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I told him that in fact, and he said he
does get that all the time.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
He said he would even be wearing.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
The token basketball sailor shorts if it wasn't for his
girlfriend who caught him into a little bit of style.
And actually his friend grew up next to Adam Sandler,
so he kind of knew him growing up. So maybe
that was his inspiration. But no doubt he will be
one of the loudest fans in the stance today recording
live at Rocu's Pizza in Mid City. I'm Haley One's
low Fox eleven days.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
All right, hope that kid wins. That would be fantastic,
A quick one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
All right, Blake Snell will be pitching tonight for your
Los Angeles Dodgers game.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Game is about to get underway here.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
And I'll tell you why, because when Blake Snell, a
two time cy Young Award winner, signed with the Dodgers,
he could have went anywhere. He came here because he said,
I want to have the best chance to win a
World Series. Now that chance is right in his right hand.
And you look what he did the first three rounds
of the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
He was three and zero.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay, So the Dodgers start the game. Pitch number one
by Snell is hit into the left field pavilion right
after we right after we were airing this.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And while he was saying that a blue Jay hit
that ball nine hundred feet into the stands.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And first ball, first pitch run, not the way you
want to start Game five.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I think he's going to be dominating. Really, I think
he's going to be done.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh my god, what are the odds of that?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They were playing that audio and then the second third
pitch is gone into the stands as well. So there's
been three pitches and Toronto said two home runs. Guerra
just hit the second one. Three pitches, two home runs
(06:37):
for Toronto. Anybody, uh, anybody out there see this coming?
Did anybody? How about that kid who just been two
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars on the Dodgers, how
do you think he's feeling right now? That third pitch
(06:58):
went halfway out of the stadium, halfway into the bullpen.
There's been three pitches and two home runs.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's going to have an ulcer.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
That kid is going to be depressed out of his mind, bedridden.
Depression is in the future for that kid. I don't
know how long you leave Snell in if he's going
to give a home run up to everybody, Oh my god,
I've never seen a worst start for the La Dodgers.
How about going to that game you paid eight thousand
(07:30):
dollars to have a great seat, and before your seat
is warm and before there's a single out in the inning,
it's too nothing, Toronto. Both of them home runs. If
you're in Toronto and you're a baseball fan and your
family sitting around, what at eight point fifteen in Toronto, Canada.
(07:52):
You have got to be screaming and yelling and very excited.
This has got to be the worst start for the
La Dodgers in the history of the World Series. And
it came while we were playing this piece.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I think he's going to be dominating.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
What the hell? How is this possible?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
How is this possible that he's gotten it's now one
of the best pitchers in the major leagues. The first
three pitches, two of them find the stands. All right,
we got I gotta take a break. He gonna go
to the bathroom and throw up.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Dodgers are finally out of the first half of the inning.
There was two challenges, one successful and one unsuccessful, and
so the Dodgers nightmare is over for the top of
the first inning. And they were fortunate to give up
just two runs off two home runs.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Could have been worse, could have been worse.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And so it's two nothing Toronto and the Dodgers up
to bat in the bottom of the first inning. We'll
keep an eye on that for you. Not a great start,
not a fantastic start, all right. Leaf blowers are something
that bother a lot of people. I hear them all
the time in Burbank, doesn't really bother me that much.
(09:18):
Kind of tune them out. But there are some people
out there who get headaches and really angry and want
to explode when they hear leaf blowers, especially six thirty
in the morning. Well, there's a fight going on to
quiet these leaf blowers. Has been going on for at
least twenty or thirty years in Los Angeles. Ever since
(09:41):
I can remember, there's been battles going on.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
The serenity of a crisp fall day in the Pacific
Northwest never seems to last quite long enough. For Judy Walton, they.
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Are just dirty machines and cause a lot of hulcong.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
A founding member of Quiet Clean Alliance in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, all right, they got that problem up there too.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Last year, her group convinced the city council to ban
gas powered leaf blowers.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And they've done that here in Santa Monica, they're banned
as well. I think there are some other communities that
have also banned them. By they're going to go to
all electric, and the new electric ones are much quieter
and the technology has caught up the technology of the
electric blowers. The leaf blowers are I think even better
than the gas powered ones.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Joining more than one hundred and fifty other communities in
the US that have either banned or restricted their use.
Speaker 10 (10:36):
This is a real grassroots organization. Pardon the punt.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
Yes, that's right, and we're not on familiar turf either.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I see what you did that.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The comedy team these two Laurrel and Hardy of leaf blowers.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
For Walton, limiting noise, air pollution and their impacts on
public health made this a worthy cause.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
People think the noise is just annoying, but it actually
has real hards on the human body.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
This twenty nineteen study found that low frequencies emitted from
gas powered leaf blowers can travel over long distances, easily
penetrating walls. The equipment raises concerns over adverse health impacts
such as higher blood pressure and heart.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
God, please, when did when we stop blaming everything you
know because you eat you know, crappy food, you don't sleep,
you drink, you smoke me sorry, and then you blame
everything else for your poor health like leaf blowers.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Such as higher blood pressure and heart rate.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh please, Can you imagine how many people in LA
would have had perfect blood pressure and perfect cholesterol except
for the fact that once a week they have to
hear a leaf blower.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
This is absolute bs.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Such as higher blood pressure and heart rate and poor sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh, get out of this is I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I understand maybe poor sleep if you're you know, a
night owl, or if you work the third shift and
you sleep in past eight o'clock in the morning. I
get that, But stop blaming your blood pressure and your
cholesterol and your anxiety on leaf blowers.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
The sound of an electric leaf blower, while still loud,
has less low frequency in it and does not travel
nearly as far.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Okay, so the electric leaf blowers won't kill.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
You starting from zero and having to change out your equipment.
How complicated will that be for people?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
It's not complicated, it's expensive.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Sean Tripp should know. His landscaping companies switched to electric
leaf blowers when customers began asking for the service, and
we're willing to pay a premium for it. That's because
an electric machine costs about fifteen hundred dollars, roughly three
times more than gas.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Okay, and these electric leaf flowers are terrific. They really
are great. I got one about three months ago, and man,
it's much much more powerful than the electric one, the
ones that you plug in.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
But he also needed industrial strength batteries and a trailer
that could keep those batteries charged all day. So how
many of these setups like this did you.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Have to make?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
We have currently five of these setups in total.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, that's not bad. This guy's going for. It's, you know,
modernizing his equipment.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
To big investment, a huge investment. And tripp says electric
blowers have less power.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Okay, we're going to do a little test here, see
which one has more power, gas versus electric.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Gas is on the left, Electric is on the right.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
That sounds like the gas one.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
We saw that gas had more power to push the
weight of a pile of leaves, and power is something
landscapers and golf course superintendents brought up during the vote.
Electric leaf flowers are not yet powerful enough.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Insufficient power. Technology is close.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
It is close clothes. I have one that is beautiful.
It works beautifully. The charge on it is not as
long as I like it, but it gets the job done.
The new electric leaf flowers. If you've not handled one
or tried one out, Try go maybe this weekend.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
There's fantastic. They're spectacular, but.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
We are not one hundred percent apples to apples at
this point.
Speaker 10 (14:22):
How can you tell somebody tonight use the best tool available.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
If that best tool available has impacts on our environment,
on human health, and there's an alternative available that won't
break the bank, that's reasonable to ask.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Portland's band will phase in over two years, starting in January,
a change that feels like a burden for some but
will sound like progress for others.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It is truly disgraceful to blame your poor health on
a once a week, ten minute leaf flower. It's another
way to for people to blame anything and everything other
than their crazy habits for their poor health. It's outrageous.
I don't know where that stops. You blame everything else
in the world for your stupid health. Crazy all right,
(15:13):
Still Dodgers zero Toronto two out at Dodger Stadium. We'll
keep update on those scores were live on KFI More enough.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
Crush, you're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You can take that thousand bucks and put it down
on a brand new motor home. Man, that's the way
to go see America. Get yourself an RV. You ripen
into that cruise you ever, get an RV and see
the country.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Jenny and I have talked about doing that at some point,
you know, when we're done, done with the whole work thing,
you know, get maybe a small place as a home base,
and then getting some sort of mobile home. But we're
kind of looking at more at the vans.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Oh, that's a good idea, like those sprinter vans. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
the sprinter vans.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
That make a little bit easier because I don't want
to sit there and work on motor homes because I've
been there and that point in my life, right.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And also it takes you know, if you get a
Class A or you know, one of the bigger motor homes,
I mean, then you get you can't be buzzed, you
know while you're driving around the country. You got to
concentrate on keeping that thing in the lane.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, yep, yep. But we had we had.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A I can't remember what the hell it was called.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
It was Chateau, I think it was what it was.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I bought it from Mike Thompson RV and probably eight
years ago and we had it for two and a
half almost three years.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Man, it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It was like every time you take it out of
the off the out of the yard and go out
for a weekend or whatever, it's like it's a beautiful
all in one vacation. And getting an RV and prepping
it for the trip is half the fun, you know,
getting putting your clothes in, putting the food in, getting
the masts, get yeah, exactly, and then you finally leave
(16:55):
and you're on the road and it's it's awesome. And
every time that we went anywhere in in our RV
and we went to an RV park, you know there
was one, and there's a great one down to Newport Beach,
or we went to San Diego. Everybody who is at
an r with an RV at the RV park are
the most friendly people in the world.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
They're all just super casual. There's no uptight a holes,
you know, running around trying to steal your crap. Everybody
looks out for each other's kids.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
It's very much the same because I went to that
period with like doing the whole motor home thing when
I was younger. Oh, We had family that had like
that did like dirt bike racing on the weekends and
everybody would take the whole weekend and take the motor
home and the trailer and the and the bikes and
all that stuff. So I did that earlier, and then
later on as I got older, my dad got into
boats and he bought a couple and that same sort
(17:48):
of atmosphere. People don't buy boats that are right around you.
Just the nicest that that that community feel.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, it really is the coolest. People in the in
the world find the way to a boat or a
motor home at some point and just to enjoy themselves.
And when we got ours, we got us from again
from Mike Thompson, not plugging away, but they used to
be an advertiser here for about four or five years.
And they they do it right, you know, they they
(18:14):
set me up. A lot of people don't know this,
but if you have an RV, you can do a
you know, typically on a car it's a five year
loans the max. But they consider the RV, I think,
like a second home and you can do a fifteen
year lease on it or a fifteen you know, paid
off in fifteen years. And so we bought I think
(18:36):
it was forty eight thousand dollars was the RV and
it was only costing It's like two hundred and thirty
dollars a month, you know, because you can pay it
off in fifteen years. So they're really inexpensive and the
quality is unbelievable. We saw one down at Mike Thompson
where it had a fireplace. There was a full, huge,
(18:56):
long bus chassis. It had a fireplace Sin Sae, one
of those electric fireplaces. And guess what it had a
remote for the fireplace. You're never more than nine feet
from that fireplace, and yet there was a remote for
lazy guys like me just lean forward, but to listen
(19:17):
to the rain come down on the roof, you know,
in your parked somewhere in a you know, in a
mobile home park or at an RV park. It is great. Ah,
it's great. So go get one and enjoy your life.
It really is gonna be the best money you've ever
ever spent in your life, ever spent. And you got
to buy from really cool you know, people know what
(19:38):
they're doing. That's why we gotta get Mike Thompson back.
I want to start talking about him on a daily basis.
I love I love that that organization. All right, we're
live on KFI amsick forty. Keep an eye on the
Los Angeles Dodgers. They are down two to nothing at
Dodgers Stadium off of two horrible pitches from Snell Zilla
(19:59):
and the Dodgers are up at bat in the second inning,
one out, no men on two nothing. Toronto and taoscar
Hernandez is up beat. We will keep you updated on
the Dodger Stadium event. Talk about Amazon. Amazon. They're going
to be hiring a ton a ton of workers over
(20:22):
the holidays, but they've also had massive cuts and I
think it's corporate cuts that Amazon is slashing. Let's find
out what Amazon's doing right now? Is it drivers, the
warehouse people who's leaving Amazon?
Speaker 12 (20:38):
The AI boom is real, and it's meaning a lot
of jobs are going away.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
It really is.
Speaker 13 (20:42):
And this is fourteen thousand at Amazon and people will
start to get that notice here today. The company says
it needs to be lean and remain more nimble in
this age of generative AI. They want to operate like
the world's largest startup, they say, and they they call
AI the most trans formative technology since the Internet. They
want to reduce layers. They want to be able to
(21:04):
move quickly to harness this so that they can make
more money and serve their customers. So I think you're
seeing this in a lot of different businesses as well.
We have seen layoffs recently from Microsoft, Meta, Google salesforce, Intel.
Target last week announced some layoffs at its corporate office. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, I think these are corporate jobs and maybe some
warehouse shops. But they're definitely looking for new drivers, and
a lot of them. I think they're going to hire
two hundred and fifty thousand drivers over Christmas holidays.
Speaker 13 (21:31):
Sometimes for different reasons, but we know that companies are
moving very very quickly to try to harness this. It's
so interesting. You've got the stock market at record highs
in part because of all of this spending and enthusiasm
over artificial intelligence. At the same time that same technology
is being used in these companies to become more lean
and interesting.
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Amazon explicitly said yes, this is because of AI and
that statement they put out this morning, so you touched
on it a bit, But bigger picture now, AI appears
to be reshaping the economy, or at least jobs.
Speaker 13 (22:00):
Market and it seems though we're in the very early
innings of it. The Treasury Secretary a couple of weeks
ago said he calls this the third inning, which means
there's a lot more to go here, as companies learn
how to use these tools, and as these tools change.
In some cases they haven't even been created yet.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
The tool, Yeah, you know what, I was watched looking
at YouTube and I saw a commercial for it's like
called I think it's called doctor Clean. It can clean anything.
You just spray it on it and it works. But
I'm always very skeptical of ads now online. I always
look to see if they're AI generated or if it's
an actual real person or a real product. And I
(22:36):
think everybody is that way. You know, you're very skeptical
on what you read online and what you buy online,
especially what you buy and and so when something new
product comes up, whether it's a way to train your
dog or a way to keep your house clean, and
it seems like a miracle, I'm on high alert with that.
(22:56):
With that stuff, I don't know. I mean, you can
never you never know what works nowadays and what is
absolute bs. It's very difficult, very difficult. Part back to
these jobs at Amazon, the tools that.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Some of these companies are already starting to reposition for.
So it's quite quite interesting the ground that is changing here.
And you know, when you look at what Amazon is saying,
it talks about next year into twenty twenty six, it
will be hiring in some places, but it will be
looking into twenty twenty six for ways that it can
continue to operate like the world's largest startup.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, but if you're a driver, you're in good shape.
They're hiring a lot more and I think that will
be the last sector of this economy that goes to
AI because they just need more and more people out
there delivering. People are buying a lot more products now
than they were, you know, even two years ago. Online
(23:49):
it's easier. You don't waste time in this story, you
don't buy products. A lot of people don't like to
go to the stores. They don't like to buy products
that they just see, you know, on the shelf and
it looks great. And and so I've noticed this even
at Walmart, where they have like forty spaces they're reserved
for you know, people are shopping online and you just
(24:12):
drive your car there, you back it up, you open
up your trunk and they throw this stuff in there,
and I thought, forty spaces, man, what are they doing.
You're taking forty spaces away. They're never going to be used.
And yet during the holidays and and busy times of
the years, every every one of those spaces is being used.
So I think it's going in that direction.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
It's it's it's easier for people to steal when they
go into the store. There's a lot of theft going on.
And when we come back, we have a story about
the grocery stores that are going to either be closed
or they're going to be firing up their security when
these when the benefits, you know, end later this week
(24:53):
or early next week, and a lot of people with
snap or food stamps are not going to be getting
it because of the government shut down, and they're worried
about a run on these grocery stores and people stealing.
So we'll come back and talk about that. We're live
on KFI. It's still two nothing Toronto at Dodgers Stadium.
Dodgers have to win this game. Can't afford to be
down one going back to Toronto and having to win two
(25:15):
in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That's gonna be very steep order.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty pursued in Los Angeles.
Speaker 14 (25:25):
And there was a pursuit, there was a very suit
and then at some point late this afternoon, these suspects
apparently not sure if they're the same guys, but jumped
in that white vehicle and now they are.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Coming carjacking suspects changed by the comps.
Speaker 14 (25:40):
There were a number of officers at each of those
intersections just now, and I could tell you that they
are trying to angle for a spike strip attempt if
they have the oppree.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
At least three wanted for kidnapping or carjacking or and
carjacking and slip on channel seven if you want to
watch the.
Speaker 14 (26:00):
They come back towards us, we're going to get a
better view here. You see, they've got red lights coming
up ahead of them.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
They're coming towards Chris Christie.
Speaker 14 (26:08):
Trying to catch up with these back trying to catch
up with this pursuit to back up these primary units.
So you've got to be units right behind him.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Parallel to the what was it.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
The crimes. These are violent criminals who are on the
run from La oh Boy. They are dedicating lots of
resources here. They are using the help of La County
Sheriff's Department, and they are going to try and set
up for a spike strip. They want these guys, I
think right now there's just too much traffic in their
way and they haven't really established a pattern here, but
they are doing circles on the west side of the
(26:41):
one ten freeway here, so they see the west.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Side of the near Figaroa.
Speaker 14 (26:46):
This is where that pursue started earlier this afternoon, even
though it ended came from Compton and then right back
in south Central where we believe all of this began
earlier today. Again, all of this is preliminary information.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We're just Chris Christie Channel seven high speed pursued near.
Speaker 14 (27:03):
Usc radio traffic moving parts here. Very criminals behind the
wheel of that Whitesedan right here as they come up
past Manchester Ravage.
Speaker 15 (27:12):
All right, and heading northbound on Figueroa past Manchester.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
So they're coming back towards downtown l I.
Speaker 15 (27:18):
Bring him by Bemo Stadium where a soccer match is
about to get underway, and so the traffic is gonna
even worse than it normally would be. And it's bad
enough right now. You can see he's having to really
thread his way through all these vehicles, sometimes going on
the wrong side of the road, blowing through red lights
as you see right there now eastbound and continuing here
(27:40):
northbound on Figaro Street in southwest Los Angeles and now
past the the airport TCA and uh into an area
where we can better get a picture of where he's
going back to christ But there could be several pull
(28:00):
as Michelle mentioned at where they back to Christo perhaps
and again considered armed and dangerous. You note the police
north boundings that are being dedicated to.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
This, coming towards downtown LA.
Speaker 15 (28:13):
Officers are involved in this at this moment.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Oh, there's a bad accident you see that.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, that wasn't even accident involved the chase watching two
people watching guy.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
To get out of the way.
Speaker 15 (28:26):
But there's just too many people to volume here. Go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 14 (28:29):
The volume here, Mark is really concerning me. We have
a lot more volume ahead of them here. Uh, you know,
figure out lots of stops and starts, uh, in the
middle of rush hour. No less, you could see he's
got a little bit of a stretch here and then
there's gonna be more traffic the closer he gets to
Expo Park two BMO Stadium and closer to downtown, there's
going to be a really looks.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Think he's doing a pretty good job losing these here,
but back over the one ten Freeway. So now they're
on the west side of the one ten Freeway.
Speaker 14 (28:57):
No problem getting over those w yellow lines going the
wrong way to get around traffic here, all movie creating
a little bit of a as l A. PD is
getting a little more conservative here, but they're not going
to lose visual again. They had the luxury of the airship.
He just turned east on fifty ninth. That's figure at
fifty ninth, just about a block from the one ten Freeway,
going to go under the one ten Freeway under all
(29:19):
of that rushing.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
This is late, This is this is wait a minute,
let's turn the TV version on the online here is
really really late from.
Speaker 14 (29:27):
Those black and whites behind them, But I don't think.
Speaker 11 (29:29):
That's the westbound Yeah, and he's just so yeah south,
how these guys got.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Look at me fly in This guy knows the neighborhood
situation through a residential area. Also that the.
Speaker 14 (29:43):
Shot began again. This is possibly related to another pursuit
in a different vehicle, again at gunpoint, and that appears
to be the case here as well. So they're now
traveling north Downd, making a right turn on Vermont at
northbound again going the wrong way there, going on fifty first,
(30:06):
and I don't even see those black and whites.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
They're gone yet.
Speaker 14 (30:09):
So they have fallen back a little bit now, traveling
westbound on fifty first. Pick these guys up wanted to
dump the bees, and this is probably gonna be an
opportunity for them. But right now it looks like they're
going to keep going. You wouldn't be surprised either if
they were. Those passenger doors pop open if he's not
starts dropping off.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Some of it.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
Yeah, a little hide and seek here if they try
and hide and blend him in this neighborhood. But right
now he is.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Facing in front of him.
Speaker 14 (30:40):
We do not lap d is here. But he is
still moving westbound on fifty first, coming up on.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Here.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He can either make nor to move nowadays.
Speaker 14 (30:50):
Long and he's making the he's going right through it,
going right through, continuing further west here.
Speaker 13 (30:57):
All right, Chris Christy, this is Jovan a lotta along
with David.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
They got the helicopter above him.
Speaker 13 (31:02):
Newscast begins and let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
All right, we've got to take a break. Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
High speed pursuit coming up on I don't know what's
west of Vermont, but oh whoa almost nailed that dude.
And now he's going northbound again, so he's coming towards
the ten Freeway, coming towards the ten Freeway, and we
will continue when we come back. The Dodgers still down
(31:28):
two nothing at Dodgers Stadium, and the high speed pursuit
was on Vermont and it is now on the major
street west of their coming towards the ten Freeway. Keep
an eye on both of those for you. And the
Dodgers just.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Hit a home run.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
What yees, sir, cut the lead.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
From two to one.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
So it's Dodgers one, Toronto two and Keith A Hernandez
just popped it out. So there we go, Dodgers right
back in this stadium's loud, It's gonna get louder. Let's
go Dodgers. It's Conway Show Live on KFI AM six forty.
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI Am six forty
(32:11):
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. If they're
on time, they're at Dodger Stadium. They usually are because
the Dodger pitcher warms up and they've got to start
that game on time because he sets his warm up
pattern and procedures to the start time and you cannot
(00:23):
delay it or else he gets cold and it's a disadvantage.
So they got to start pretty much on time. When
they say five to eight, they usually try to start
exactly at five away. There's been a massive bet made
on the Los Angeles Dodgers. A kid has sold everything
he owns. Everything he owns has been sold, and he
(00:43):
took the two hundred thousand dollars, took it to Las
Vegas in cash and bet that the Los Angeles Dodgers
win the World Series. Now it's a money line bet,
so he's not gonna get double his money if he wins.
Let me see bet two hundred thousand, so he'll probably
get three twenty five back, which is a great, great week.
(01:04):
You know, he put two hundred thousand down, you get
three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars back.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
That's a great week.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
But if the Dodgers end up losing to the Blue Jays,
he's out everything, he owns nothing, He's sold everything, borrowed
money from people, and he thinks this is gonna be
a payday. Let's find out more about this kid. Is
my kind of kid. I like guys like this.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
This guy, even he will admit this brought out his
nutty side. Following in his dad's footsteps, he was one
of the best poker players in the world at a
young age, transitioned into sports betting, where he found his
true calling, putting his life on the line in this
World Series for our boys in blue.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
You ever have that intuition feeling that you just know
something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yes, and it usually it costs me a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Sean Perry feels so strongly in the Dodgers next World Series.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Win that he put everything on the line.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Guy, every single dollar I need.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
I sold my car and sold all my belongings and
borrowed some money for some very dangerous people on the street.
Speaker 8 (02:06):
She one hundred and twenty five thousand, turning Dodgers to
win the serious place.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
He had the cash with him when he walked into
the casino, stacks and stacks of one hundred dollars bills
two hundred thousand dollars to win on the La Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
She one hundred and twenty five thousand, turning Dodgers to
win the serious placed ain't losen Uslobia's dead.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Man wants it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And once they give I'm sorry's two hundred twenty five thousand.
Once they give you that ticket, you have got to
hold onto that ticket. You lose that ticket, it's over.
So he's got that ticket in his wallet. It says,
Dodgers to win two hundred and twenty five thousand, he'll
get back three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
He has got to be nervous about this.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
By the time Perry counts for hotels, tickets to all
seven games, and a pricing present for his favorite player.
Perry wouldn't that profit about twenty five grand and what
he calls a guaranteed win for show?
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Hey, I need a big favor from you.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Please continue Dominis, and if you win the series for me,
I promise.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
To buy you a Rolex Watch.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
So I'm taking home three hundred and twenty five thousand
when I went.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Except for the watch that you have to buy for showing.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So yeah, I'll probably spend like twenty five k on
that for a nice rolex, So.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Better get him a good one.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Oh yeah, this isn't the Vegas sports betters.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
First, I have a feeling that this kid is in
for a roller coaster of a life if he's going
to spend everything he owns on one bed and then
offer to buy Shoeo Tani a Rolex which he probably
doesn't need for twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
This isn't the Vegas sports betters.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
For shein in again?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
God, so what does his girlfriend think of his antics?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Definitely crazy? But I left the ride righter and I who.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Are these sketchy guys that he borrowed the money from?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Who are the sketchy guys that he borrowed that kind
of money from?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Last I talk the better, promising to stick by his
side Winter.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I like this couple. This is my kind of couple.
This is a great couple.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Belly.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
We should try to them if they win. If not,
you know, they'll come in here and steal a bunch
of crap. But if they do win, we should try
to get him on the air Winter Lose.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
If you don't have any money, how are you going
to pay for a Dodger dog?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Well, the same way I got the money to make
the best. I have good credit on the streets, so
I've been borrowing money.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Let's go Dodgers, Baby, Let's go Showy, big.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Big woo baby, Let's go.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Doesn't he kind of remind you of Adam Sandler?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I told him that in fact, and he said he
does get that all the time.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
He said he would even be wearing.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
The token basketball sailor shorts if it wasn't for his
girlfriend who caught him into a little bit of style.
And actually his friend grew up next to Adam Sandler,
so he kind of knew him growing up. So maybe
that was his inspiration. But no doubt he will be
one of the loudest fans in the stance today recording
live at Rocu's Pizza in Mid City. I'm Haley One's
low Fox eleven days.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
All right, hope that kid wins. That would be fantastic,
A quick one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
All right, Blake Snell will be pitching tonight for your
Los Angeles Dodgers game.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Game is about to get underway here.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
And I'll tell you why, because when Blake Snell, a
two time cy Young Award winner, signed with the Dodgers,
he could have went anywhere. He came here because he said,
I want to have the best chance to win a
World Series. Now that chance is right in his right hand.
And you look what he did the first three rounds
of the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
He was three and zero.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay, So the Dodgers start the game. Pitch number one
by Snell is hit into the left field pavilion right
after we right after we were airing this.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And while he was saying that a blue Jay hit
that ball nine hundred feet into the stands.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
I think he's going to be dominant.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And first ball, first pitch run, not the way you
want to start Game five.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I think he's going to be dominating. Really, I think
he's going to be done.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh my god, what are the odds of that?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They were playing that audio and then the second third
pitch is gone into the stands as well. So there's
been three pitches and Toronto said two home runs. Guerra
just hit the second one. Three pitches, two home runs
(06:37):
for Toronto. Anybody, uh, anybody out there see this coming?
Did anybody? How about that kid who just been two
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars on the Dodgers, how
do you think he's feeling right now? That third pitch
(06:58):
went halfway out of the stadium, halfway into the bullpen.
There's been three pitches and two home runs.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's going to have an ulcer.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
That kid is going to be depressed out of his mind, bedridden.
Depression is in the future for that kid. I don't
know how long you leave Snell in if he's going
to give a home run up to everybody, Oh my god,
I've never seen a worst start for the La Dodgers.
How about going to that game you paid eight thousand
(07:30):
dollars to have a great seat, and before your seat
is warm and before there's a single out in the inning,
it's too nothing, Toronto. Both of them home runs. If
you're in Toronto and you're a baseball fan and your
family sitting around, what at eight point fifteen in Toronto, Canada.
(07:52):
You have got to be screaming and yelling and very excited.
This has got to be the worst start for the
La Dodgers in the history of the World Series. And
it came while we were playing this piece.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I think he's going to be dominating.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
What the hell? How is this possible?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
How is this possible that he's gotten it's now one
of the best pitchers in the major leagues. The first
three pitches, two of them find the stands. All right,
we got I gotta take a break. He gonna go
to the bathroom and throw up.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Dodgers are finally out of the first half of the inning.
There was two challenges, one successful and one unsuccessful, and
so the Dodgers nightmare is over for the top of
the first inning. And they were fortunate to give up
just two runs off two home runs.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Could have been worse, could have been worse.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And so it's two nothing Toronto and the Dodgers up
to bat in the bottom of the first inning. We'll
keep an eye on that for you. Not a great start,
not a fantastic start, all right. Leaf blowers are something
that bother a lot of people. I hear them all
the time in Burbank, doesn't really bother me that much.
(09:18):
Kind of tune them out. But there are some people
out there who get headaches and really angry and want
to explode when they hear leaf blowers, especially six thirty
in the morning. Well, there's a fight going on to
quiet these leaf blowers. Has been going on for at
least twenty or thirty years in Los Angeles. Ever since
(09:41):
I can remember, there's been battles going on.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
The serenity of a crisp fall day in the Pacific
Northwest never seems to last quite long enough. For Judy Walton, they.
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Are just dirty machines and cause a lot of hulcong.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
A founding member of Quiet Clean Alliance in Portland, Oregon.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, all right, they got that problem up there too.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Last year, her group convinced the city council to ban
gas powered leaf blowers.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And they've done that here in Santa Monica, they're banned
as well. I think there are some other communities that
have also banned them. By they're going to go to
all electric, and the new electric ones are much quieter
and the technology has caught up the technology of the
electric blowers. The leaf blowers are I think even better
than the gas powered ones.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Joining more than one hundred and fifty other communities in
the US that have either banned or restricted their use.
Speaker 10 (10:36):
This is a real grassroots organization. Pardon the punt.
Speaker 9 (10:41):
Yes, that's right, and we're not on familiar turf either.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
I see what you did that.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
The comedy team these two Laurrel and Hardy of leaf blowers.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
For Walton, limiting noise, air pollution and their impacts on
public health made this a worthy cause.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
People think the noise is just annoying, but it actually
has real hards on the human body.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
This twenty nineteen study found that low frequencies emitted from
gas powered leaf blowers can travel over long distances, easily
penetrating walls. The equipment raises concerns over adverse health impacts
such as higher blood pressure and heart.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
God, please, when did when we stop blaming everything you
know because you eat you know, crappy food, you don't sleep,
you drink, you smoke me sorry, and then you blame
everything else for your poor health like leaf blowers.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Such as higher blood pressure and heart rate.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh please, Can you imagine how many people in LA
would have had perfect blood pressure and perfect cholesterol except
for the fact that once a week they have to
hear a leaf blower.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
This is absolute bs.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Such as higher blood pressure and heart rate and poor sleep.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Oh, get out of this is I mean?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I understand maybe poor sleep if you're you know, a
night owl, or if you work the third shift and
you sleep in past eight o'clock in the morning. I
get that, But stop blaming your blood pressure and your
cholesterol and your anxiety on leaf blowers.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
The sound of an electric leaf blower, while still loud,
has less low frequency in it and does not travel
nearly as far.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Okay, so the electric leaf blowers won't kill.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
You starting from zero and having to change out your equipment.
How complicated will that be for people?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
It's not complicated, it's expensive.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Sean Tripp should know. His landscaping companies switched to electric
leaf blowers when customers began asking for the service, and
we're willing to pay a premium for it. That's because
an electric machine costs about fifteen hundred dollars, roughly three
times more than gas.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Okay, and these electric leaf flowers are terrific. They really
are great. I got one about three months ago, and man,
it's much much more powerful than the electric one, the
ones that you plug in.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
But he also needed industrial strength batteries and a trailer
that could keep those batteries charged all day. So how
many of these setups like this did you.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Have to make?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
We have currently five of these setups in total.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, that's not bad. This guy's going for. It's, you know,
modernizing his equipment.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
To big investment, a huge investment. And tripp says electric
blowers have less power.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Okay, we're going to do a little test here, see
which one has more power, gas versus electric.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Gas is on the left, Electric is on the right.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
That sounds like the gas one.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
We saw that gas had more power to push the
weight of a pile of leaves, and power is something
landscapers and golf course superintendents brought up during the vote.
Electric leaf flowers are not yet powerful enough.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Insufficient power. Technology is close.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
It is close clothes. I have one that is beautiful.
It works beautifully. The charge on it is not as
long as I like it, but it gets the job done.
The new electric leaf flowers. If you've not handled one
or tried one out, Try go maybe this weekend.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
There's fantastic. They're spectacular, but.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
We are not one hundred percent apples to apples at
this point.
Speaker 10 (14:22):
How can you tell somebody tonight use the best tool available.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
If that best tool available has impacts on our environment,
on human health, and there's an alternative available that won't
break the bank, that's reasonable to ask.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Portland's band will phase in over two years, starting in January,
a change that feels like a burden for some but
will sound like progress for others.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
It is truly disgraceful to blame your poor health on
a once a week, ten minute leaf flower. It's another
way to for people to blame anything and everything other
than their crazy habits for their poor health. It's outrageous.
I don't know where that stops. You blame everything else
in the world for your stupid health. Crazy all right,
(15:13):
Still Dodgers zero Toronto two out at Dodger Stadium. We'll
keep update on those scores were live on KFI More enough.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
Crush, you're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You can take that thousand bucks and put it down
on a brand new motor home. Man, that's the way
to go see America. Get yourself an RV. You ripen
into that cruise you ever, get an RV and see
the country.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Jenny and I have talked about doing that at some point,
you know, when we're done, done with the whole work thing,
you know, get maybe a small place as a home base,
and then getting some sort of mobile home. But we're
kind of looking at more at the vans.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Oh, that's a good idea, like those sprinter vans. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
the sprinter vans.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
That make a little bit easier because I don't want
to sit there and work on motor homes because I've
been there and that point in my life, right.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And also it takes you know, if you get a
Class A or you know, one of the bigger motor homes,
I mean, then you get you can't be buzzed, you
know while you're driving around the country. You got to
concentrate on keeping that thing in the lane.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, yep, yep. But we had we had.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A I can't remember what the hell it was called.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
It was Chateau, I think it was what it was.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I bought it from Mike Thompson RV and probably eight
years ago and we had it for two and a
half almost three years.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Man, it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
It was like every time you take it out of
the off the out of the yard and go out
for a weekend or whatever, it's like it's a beautiful
all in one vacation. And getting an RV and prepping
it for the trip is half the fun, you know,
getting putting your clothes in, putting the food in, getting
the masts, get yeah, exactly, and then you finally leave
(16:55):
and you're on the road and it's it's awesome. And
every time that we went anywhere in in our RV
and we went to an RV park, you know there
was one, and there's a great one down to Newport Beach,
or we went to San Diego. Everybody who is at
an r with an RV at the RV park are
the most friendly people in the world.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
They're all just super casual. There's no uptight a holes,
you know, running around trying to steal your crap. Everybody
looks out for each other's kids.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
It's very much the same because I went to that
period with like doing the whole motor home thing when
I was younger. Oh, We had family that had like
that did like dirt bike racing on the weekends and
everybody would take the whole weekend and take the motor
home and the trailer and the and the bikes and
all that stuff. So I did that earlier, and then
later on as I got older, my dad got into
boats and he bought a couple and that same sort
(17:48):
of atmosphere. People don't buy boats that are right around you.
Just the nicest that that that community feel.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, it really is the coolest. People in the in
the world find the way to a boat or a
motor home at some point and just to enjoy themselves.
And when we got ours, we got us from again
from Mike Thompson, not plugging away, but they used to
be an advertiser here for about four or five years.
And they they do it right, you know, they they
(18:14):
set me up. A lot of people don't know this,
but if you have an RV, you can do a
you know, typically on a car it's a five year
loans the max. But they consider the RV, I think,
like a second home and you can do a fifteen
year lease on it or a fifteen you know, paid
off in fifteen years. And so we bought I think
(18:36):
it was forty eight thousand dollars was the RV and
it was only costing It's like two hundred and thirty
dollars a month, you know, because you can pay it
off in fifteen years. So they're really inexpensive and the
quality is unbelievable. We saw one down at Mike Thompson
where it had a fireplace. There was a full, huge,
(18:56):
long bus chassis. It had a fireplace Sin Sae, one
of those electric fireplaces. And guess what it had a
remote for the fireplace. You're never more than nine feet
from that fireplace, and yet there was a remote for
lazy guys like me just lean forward, but to listen
(19:17):
to the rain come down on the roof, you know,
in your parked somewhere in a you know, in a
mobile home park or at an RV park. It is great. Ah,
it's great. So go get one and enjoy your life.
It really is gonna be the best money you've ever
ever spent in your life, ever spent. And you got
to buy from really cool you know, people know what
(19:38):
they're doing. That's why we gotta get Mike Thompson back.
I want to start talking about him on a daily basis.
I love I love that that organization. All right, we're
live on KFI amsick forty. Keep an eye on the
Los Angeles Dodgers. They are down two to nothing at
Dodgers Stadium off of two horrible pitches from Snell Zilla
(19:59):
and the Dodgers are up at bat in the second inning,
one out, no men on two nothing. Toronto and taoscar
Hernandez is up beat. We will keep you updated on
the Dodger Stadium event. Talk about Amazon. Amazon. They're going
to be hiring a ton a ton of workers over
(20:22):
the holidays, but they've also had massive cuts and I
think it's corporate cuts that Amazon is slashing. Let's find
out what Amazon's doing right now? Is it drivers, the
warehouse people who's leaving Amazon?
Speaker 12 (20:38):
The AI boom is real, and it's meaning a lot
of jobs are going away.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
It really is.
Speaker 13 (20:42):
And this is fourteen thousand at Amazon and people will
start to get that notice here today. The company says
it needs to be lean and remain more nimble in
this age of generative AI. They want to operate like
the world's largest startup, they say, and they they call
AI the most trans formative technology since the Internet. They
want to reduce layers. They want to be able to
(21:04):
move quickly to harness this so that they can make
more money and serve their customers. So I think you're
seeing this in a lot of different businesses as well.
We have seen layoffs recently from Microsoft, Meta, Google salesforce, Intel.
Target last week announced some layoffs at its corporate office. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, I think these are corporate jobs and maybe some
warehouse shops. But they're definitely looking for new drivers, and
a lot of them. I think they're going to hire
two hundred and fifty thousand drivers over Christmas holidays.
Speaker 13 (21:31):
Sometimes for different reasons, but we know that companies are
moving very very quickly to try to harness this. It's
so interesting. You've got the stock market at record highs
in part because of all of this spending and enthusiasm
over artificial intelligence. At the same time that same technology
is being used in these companies to become more lean
and interesting.
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Amazon explicitly said yes, this is because of AI and
that statement they put out this morning, so you touched
on it a bit, But bigger picture now, AI appears
to be reshaping the economy, or at least jobs.
Speaker 13 (22:00):
Market and it seems though we're in the very early
innings of it. The Treasury Secretary a couple of weeks
ago said he calls this the third inning, which means
there's a lot more to go here, as companies learn
how to use these tools, and as these tools change.
In some cases they haven't even been created yet.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
The tool, Yeah, you know what, I was watched looking
at YouTube and I saw a commercial for it's like
called I think it's called doctor Clean. It can clean anything.
You just spray it on it and it works. But
I'm always very skeptical of ads now online. I always
look to see if they're AI generated or if it's
an actual real person or a real product. And I
(22:36):
think everybody is that way. You know, you're very skeptical
on what you read online and what you buy online,
especially what you buy and and so when something new
product comes up, whether it's a way to train your
dog or a way to keep your house clean, and
it seems like a miracle, I'm on high alert with that.
(22:56):
With that stuff, I don't know. I mean, you can
never you never know what works nowadays and what is
absolute bs. It's very difficult, very difficult. Part back to
these jobs at Amazon, the tools that.
Speaker 13 (23:07):
Some of these companies are already starting to reposition for.
So it's quite quite interesting the ground that is changing here.
And you know, when you look at what Amazon is saying,
it talks about next year into twenty twenty six, it
will be hiring in some places, but it will be
looking into twenty twenty six for ways that it can
continue to operate like the world's largest startup.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, but if you're a driver, you're in good shape.
They're hiring a lot more and I think that will
be the last sector of this economy that goes to
AI because they just need more and more people out
there delivering. People are buying a lot more products now
than they were, you know, even two years ago. Online
(23:49):
it's easier. You don't waste time in this story, you
don't buy products. A lot of people don't like to
go to the stores. They don't like to buy products
that they just see, you know, on the shelf and
it looks great. And and so I've noticed this even
at Walmart, where they have like forty spaces they're reserved
for you know, people are shopping online and you just
(24:12):
drive your car there, you back it up, you open
up your trunk and they throw this stuff in there,
and I thought, forty spaces, man, what are they doing.
You're taking forty spaces away. They're never going to be used.
And yet during the holidays and and busy times of
the years, every every one of those spaces is being used.
So I think it's going in that direction.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
It's it's it's easier for people to steal when they
go into the store. There's a lot of theft going on.
And when we come back, we have a story about
the grocery stores that are going to either be closed
or they're going to be firing up their security when
these when the benefits, you know, end later this week
(24:53):
or early next week, and a lot of people with
snap or food stamps are not going to be getting
it because of the government shut down, and they're worried
about a run on these grocery stores and people stealing.
So we'll come back and talk about that. We're live
on KFI. It's still two nothing Toronto at Dodgers Stadium.
Dodgers have to win this game. Can't afford to be
down one going back to Toronto and having to win two
(25:15):
in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That's gonna be very steep order.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty pursued in Los Angeles.
Speaker 14 (25:25):
And there was a pursuit, there was a very suit
and then at some point late this afternoon, these suspects
apparently not sure if they're the same guys, but jumped
in that white vehicle and now they are.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Coming carjacking suspects changed by the comps.
Speaker 14 (25:40):
There were a number of officers at each of those
intersections just now, and I could tell you that they
are trying to angle for a spike strip attempt if
they have the oppree.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
At least three wanted for kidnapping or carjacking or and
carjacking and slip on channel seven if you want to
watch the.
Speaker 14 (26:00):
They come back towards us, we're going to get a
better view here. You see, they've got red lights coming
up ahead of them.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
They're coming towards Chris Christie.
Speaker 14 (26:08):
Trying to catch up with these back trying to catch
up with this pursuit to back up these primary units.
So you've got to be units right behind him.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Parallel to the what was it.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
The crimes. These are violent criminals who are on the
run from La oh Boy. They are dedicating lots of
resources here. They are using the help of La County
Sheriff's Department, and they are going to try and set
up for a spike strip. They want these guys, I
think right now there's just too much traffic in their
way and they haven't really established a pattern here, but
they are doing circles on the west side of the
(26:41):
one ten freeway here, so they see the west.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Side of the near Figaroa.
Speaker 14 (26:46):
This is where that pursue started earlier this afternoon, even
though it ended came from Compton and then right back
in south Central where we believe all of this began
earlier today. Again, all of this is preliminary information.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
We're just Chris Christie Channel seven high speed pursued near.
Speaker 14 (27:03):
Usc radio traffic moving parts here. Very criminals behind the
wheel of that Whitesedan right here as they come up
past Manchester Ravage.
Speaker 15 (27:12):
All right, and heading northbound on Figueroa past Manchester.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
So they're coming back towards downtown l I.
Speaker 15 (27:18):
Bring him by Bemo Stadium where a soccer match is
about to get underway, and so the traffic is gonna
even worse than it normally would be. And it's bad
enough right now. You can see he's having to really
thread his way through all these vehicles, sometimes going on
the wrong side of the road, blowing through red lights
as you see right there now eastbound and continuing here
(27:40):
northbound on Figaro Street in southwest Los Angeles and now
past the the airport TCA and uh into an area
where we can better get a picture of where he's
going back to christ But there could be several pull
(28:00):
as Michelle mentioned at where they back to Christo perhaps
and again considered armed and dangerous. You note the police
north boundings that are being dedicated to.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
This, coming towards downtown LA.
Speaker 15 (28:13):
Officers are involved in this at this moment.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Oh, there's a bad accident you see that.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, that wasn't even accident involved the chase watching two
people watching guy.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
To get out of the way.
Speaker 15 (28:26):
But there's just too many people to volume here. Go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 14 (28:29):
The volume here, Mark is really concerning me. We have
a lot more volume ahead of them here. Uh, you know,
figure out lots of stops and starts, uh, in the
middle of rush hour. No less, you could see he's
got a little bit of a stretch here and then
there's gonna be more traffic the closer he gets to
Expo Park two BMO Stadium and closer to downtown, there's
going to be a really looks.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Think he's doing a pretty good job losing these here,
but back over the one ten Freeway. So now they're
on the west side of the one ten Freeway.
Speaker 14 (28:57):
No problem getting over those w yellow lines going the
wrong way to get around traffic here, all movie creating
a little bit of a as l A. PD is
getting a little more conservative here, but they're not going
to lose visual again. They had the luxury of the airship.
He just turned east on fifty ninth. That's figure at
fifty ninth, just about a block from the one ten Freeway,
going to go under the one ten Freeway under all
(29:19):
of that rushing.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
This is late, This is this is wait a minute,
let's turn the TV version on the online here is
really really late from.
Speaker 14 (29:27):
Those black and whites behind them, But I don't think.
Speaker 11 (29:29):
That's the westbound Yeah, and he's just so yeah south,
how these guys got.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Look at me fly in This guy knows the neighborhood
situation through a residential area. Also that the.
Speaker 14 (29:43):
Shot began again. This is possibly related to another pursuit
in a different vehicle, again at gunpoint, and that appears
to be the case here as well. So they're now
traveling north Downd, making a right turn on Vermont at
northbound again going the wrong way there, going on fifty first,
(30:06):
and I don't even see those black and whites.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
They're gone yet.
Speaker 14 (30:09):
So they have fallen back a little bit now, traveling
westbound on fifty first. Pick these guys up wanted to
dump the bees, and this is probably gonna be an
opportunity for them. But right now it looks like they're
going to keep going. You wouldn't be surprised either if
they were. Those passenger doors pop open if he's not
starts dropping off.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
Some of it.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
Yeah, a little hide and seek here if they try
and hide and blend him in this neighborhood. But right
now he is.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Facing in front of him.
Speaker 14 (30:40):
We do not lap d is here. But he is
still moving westbound on fifty first, coming up on.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Here.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He can either make nor to move nowadays.
Speaker 14 (30:50):
Long and he's making the he's going right through it,
going right through, continuing further west here.
Speaker 13 (30:57):
All right, Chris Christy, this is Jovan a lotta along
with David.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
They got the helicopter above him.
Speaker 13 (31:02):
Newscast begins and let's go.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
All right, we've got to take a break. Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
High speed pursuit coming up on I don't know what's
west of Vermont, but oh whoa almost nailed that dude.
And now he's going northbound again, so he's coming towards
the ten Freeway, coming towards the ten Freeway, and we
will continue when we come back. The Dodgers still down
(31:28):
two nothing at Dodgers Stadium, and the high speed pursuit
was on Vermont and it is now on the major
street west of their coming towards the ten Freeway. Keep
an eye on both of those for you. And the
Dodgers just.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Hit a home run.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
What yees, sir, cut the lead.
