Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
We've got one of my favorite guests. We used to
have on a kalis X all the time. He was
quickly the audience's favorite as well, and he is back.
You know him from Loveline with Adam Carolla, Ladies and Gentlemen,
(00:21):
Doctor Drew Pinski, Doctor Drew.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
How you Bob, I'm good man. Good to hear your voice, Monnie.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I always love watching you, whether it's on Fox or CNN,
but now I'm starting to enjoy you on with Corolla.
Is that Is that a new thing I've missed for
a while where you guys do a weekly show.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
It is not a new thing that you have missed
for a while. We've been We've been doing it for
like twelve years, and.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
People are finding it now. Okay, so it's great, we're back.
So here we are.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
How come I haven't found it though? Before? How come?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I I'm just getting hooked up now? Why have you
buried it?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I don't know that it was buried so much as
Adam has been complaining about the same stuff for twelve
years and now it's started to be quite relevant.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay, but I saw the recent one where you're talking
on Thailand All and you have the same recommendation I do.
And I'm glad that we agree on this, that when
women are pregnant they should try to take nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yes, I completely agree. I mean, the chromatin is open.
The developmental process is extremely complex and delicate and prone
to error, and you don't want to do anything that
can contribute to that error. We here's one of the
great ironies in all of this story. One, of course,
I think people are becoming increasingly aware that the Thailand
(01:37):
All manufacturers themselves.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Have been worried about talent all during pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's gone back and forth, but they've shown, to course
of ten years, some real serious concern.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
They called it a heavy concern.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The other thing that's really an irony is the American
College of Physicians. I was doing my board reviews a
couple months ago, and the rheumatology section they in the
core to that review, they recommend that only one medication
be considered to be continued during pregnancy. Really for the
loopus patients, this one medicine should stay on.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
This medicine because it's.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So benign and so inert, and that medicine is hydroxychloroquim.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Oh, you got to be kidding.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I'm the one where they were any doctor recommended during COVID,
they wanted to take his license from him.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
That's the medicaid exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
My god, I've been using it for decades from our
loopa's patients. I knew there was nothing wrong with it.
The fact that pharmacists weren't allowing doctors to prescribe it,
they literally were blocking the prescribing. People's licenses are being
revoked is one of the most Now it is literally
more inert than Thailand all per per the American College
or Physician.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
It's unbelievable. Doctor Drew Pinsk's with us. I saw something
really disturbing online and I wanted to get your opinion.
I know, when Donald Trump came out and said, hey,
you know, don't take Thailand all.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
And then you know the other doctor were.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know, it didn't go as far as Donald as
President Trump did, but he said, you know, I can
say this, don't take it, don't take anything, don't take Tylan.
And then I can't tell you how many videos I
saw the next three or four days with women who
are videotaping themselves pregnant and popping a til and all
just to stick it to President Trump. I couldn't believe that.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
When I saw that, I thought to myself, Wow, we've
got to really get on making the Trump derangement center
of a diagnostic category, because now it's causing harm to others. Literally,
they are willing to risk harming their babies to stick
it to Donald Trump. It's the most bizarre thing. People
will look back on this very unkindly, and it makes
(03:44):
me increasingly concerned about how casually women are taking a
development fetus inside their body. I mean, it makes me
wonder if there's sort of some sort of weird shift
that people have taken. Maybe it's the casualness about abortion.
I don't know what it is, but the fact that
somebody could even contemplate consciously putting a developing fetus in
(04:07):
harm's way is just phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Uh, Doctor drews with us. My wife is a not a.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Hoarder, but well, okay, she's a hoarder, but she also
does she also saves a lot of things that turn
out to be, you know, valuable in the in the future.
For instance, she kept every one of her medical records
at every note while she was pregnant in two thousand
and five and and and it was nice to have,
nice to go through and look at it. But in
(04:37):
those notes, she discovered yesterday that her doctor and she
had a fever, you know, during her pregnancy. Her doctor underline,
please do not take tylanol.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Interesting you know, they're they're a doctor, an obstrician might
elect to prescribe talentol. And look all these things. The
CDC is there to make recommendations to physicians. That's that's
what their job is. To advise us and give us
data to keep us abreast of trends and infectious diseases
and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
They are not telling you what to do.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
They're not taking away tile at all, not giving you
tilet all. They're just saying that there's a signal. We're
going to alert doctors that that signal might suggest that
it's something you want to avoid. But guess what if
the doctor thinks it's important for you to take the
tileol because the fever can risk the pregnancy too. If
the doctor believes you need it, you will be recommended
to take the damn tiletol. The fact that we're even
(05:33):
having these discussions is bizarre. This is all the aftermath
of COVID. It really is that none of this know
the press. The government never should have involved during the pandemic.
The physicians should have just done their job, but public
Health and CDC centralized authority.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And it became an unbelievable disaster.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And you made a good, great point when you're on
with Adam Krolla in your last podcast. If you're a
nineteen year old healthy male or female and you're not
pregnant and you have a fever, go ahead and take tylanol.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Tilanol is good. People got very weird about it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Also not an anti inflammatory technically, it's an anti pyritic
and anti antil jesuk. It's a very good, very safe medicine.
But it's worth remembering. You know, I worked thirty five
years on a psychiatric hospital. The most lethal suicide gesture
as I saw.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Were with tilanol.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I saw one guy get complete and total irreversible liver
failure and die from eight to eight to eight Thilanol
wow into fifteen to twenty in a single ingestion. We'll
do it to just about anybody, and once that takes hold,
of the course of about seventy two hours.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
There is no turning back. Is a fatal event.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh my god. I hope people know that. I mean
I didn't know that. I hope that word gets out there.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yeah, it's important toaleranold kid, you know. And if you're
an alcohol at tyleranolk is less well tolerated. You know,
it's a patatoxic substance in certain situation. But you're bringing
up an important point here is that we have this
weird thing in this country now where medications are supposed
to make life better, make us flourish. Pharmacology is there
(07:12):
to intervene, so physicians can intervene in disabling and life
threatening illness. Period if the risk reward, if we cannot
significantly alter the course of a dangerous condition, we should
not be using pharmacology. And there are plenty of things
we use that are dangerous, but the risk reward is
(07:32):
there because the disease itself is more dangerous. But this
idea that medicine is going to make life better and
make humans flourish, we are on the wrong course.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Doctor Drew. Can you stay with us for another segment
or do you got to run?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I can say okay, excellent, all right, Doctor Drew is
with us. He is the absolute best and welcome back.
I want to talk to him about Charlie Kirk, also COVID,
and also I had a story to tell you about
doctor Drew when he used to come up with us
on KLSX The Proof.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Just know what kind of guy he is.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Doctor.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Before we get into COVID, I want to ask you
a personal question.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I grew up.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Before the personal question, I've got to put a little
code on a promotion we had there for the Union
Rescue Mission, Andy Bales down there is most impactful institution
downtown on homelessness. And of course the government will and
acknowledge them because they're a faith baithed organization. But please
support them. I heard one of your someone who's going
to jump off the building for them. Oh, you support them.
They do an extraordinary job.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Okay, wait minute, what is it is?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
The What mission isn't Union Rescue Mission.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's one of the Downtown missions and they've been there
for one hundred years and they actually make a difference
on homelessness. They actually treat them, they don't keep them
in the streets. It's just what we're doing is exact
opposite of what we should be doing. But they do
it right down there, right in rescue mission.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And running the risk of squaring. It's an f and
disgrace that they're not supported just because they're bringing more
religion into in not necessary forcing it on them, just religious,
religious based.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's a faith based organization and therefore they're they're forbidden.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
So it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Everything, everything at our disposal should be deployed. Are you
kidding me? It's a humanitarian crisis.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But I want to ask you a personal question because
I basically grew up, you know, listening to you talk
about the triplets. I want to get an update. How
old are those kids now? What are they doing? I
haven't heard from them since Loveline.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So they're in their mid thirty there. I'm at my
son's house in Irvine, babysitting his one eight month old daughter, Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And again they are going to be two more.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
He's an attorney and doing very well. My other son
is becoming a mental health professional, and my daughter is
a writer, Columbia trained writer so she has a certain
point of view Columbia make sure of.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
But she's very, very very talented, very talented.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I can't believe they're thirty. I was going to say nineteen,
maybe twenty.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Oh my god, all right, sorry, my friends.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Good for you.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
They were probably that all less time I saw.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, probably they were.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Let me tell you, and again before we get into COVID,
I remember when you used to come on with us,
you know, you used to come on our show at
kalas X and then you drive over to do love Line.
I remember on more than one occasion somebody called they
were under distress, and you could hear it in their voice,
and during the commercial break, you spent the entire commercial
break talking to them, giving them your your cell phone
(10:36):
number and really giving up, you know, them great advice
and really caring about them. And I don't think people
saw that side of you as often as I did.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
But it's terrific.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Buddy, Well that's very kind. I mean, I look, so
I'm not doing my job. What am I doing? And
I still do it to this day. I'm not doing
the psychiatric stuff. I'm not running an addiction program. I'm
still doing general medicine. And I never did I imagine
all that time on the radio, would we end up
here where we are now? This is not what we intended, right, All.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Right, let's talk about COVID. Do you recommend the shot?
Who do you recommended for? What's the what's the word?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So keep in mind, got to have a little nuanced
in you're thinking everybody. Doctors need to make a risk
reward analysis for everything we do, absolutely everything. During the
darker hours of Alpha and delta, it was absolutely appropriate
to take real risk with the vaccine. It was a
miracle we had a vaccine so quickly, and in my
(11:34):
elderly patients, in particular over the age of seventy, I
think we helped them. I had only one severe vaccine reaction.
Of course, the vers report I submitted was completely ignored,
but I had one reaction and the rest people had
relatively mild COVID. Once we hit the omicron error era,
the use of the vaccine was less clear, and we
(11:55):
started seeing significant side effects, particularly in younger males, where
the need for a vaccine in the days of the
variance of omicron. For a young healthy person, they are
not going to be hospitalized, They're not going to die,
there's a zero probability. There's a non zero probability that
they're going to get milcarditis, which is a very serious condition.
(12:17):
So there's that issue in the young people, the elderly.
Many of my elderly patients still choose to get it. However,
I no longer know what we're doing. It's not clear
that it's doing anything, and the variance for which it
is specifically directed are not in this region right now,
So I don't understand quite what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
But some of my patients still choose to get.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It all right, and then, without going to great detail,
because I know it's a very complicated question, are we
any closer to what is causing the explosion in autism?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
We're closer. I mean, obviously there was a signal around
tile and all. There was a significant issue and people
need to pay attention with that. And I know, you know,
I know Jabadisharia and obviously about Oz very well.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I communicate with them regularly.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
They feel like they're on the trail of some interesting things.
I think vaccines are going to be implicated exactly how
it's not clear. I think they rushed to that press
conference a little bit. This is my humble opinion to
give some highlights, some headline that they could hang their
hat on because they weren't quite ready on the rest
of the mature yet. It takes a long time to
(13:22):
do this science, and they have a commitment to do
it right, and I trust those guys to do it.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
And the big news over the last couple of weeks
was Charlie Kirk. Did did you ever meet him? Do
you ever work with him?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I did.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I interviewed him a couple of times. He was exactly
as he has been portrayed. I was not very familiar
with it in his turning point. I just you know,
I knew kind of who he was and I interviewed him.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
He's a good guy. But he has had a major impact.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And you know, I talked to many people, including Corolla,
who were in Phoenix during the event, and they said
it was the memorial and they said it was like
nothing they'd ever experienced.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And tell you the way that his death is affecting
the younger generation, it is absolutely their JFK of this generation.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And you know, we've gone through a period. Look, we've
been there's been a very significant narcissistic turn in this country.
When you have a lot of people with narcissistic burden,
you tend to get mobs, and you tend to get scapegoating.
And we're in the midst of a big scapegoating problem,
largely brought on by the rhetoric of people calling other
people non human, fascist, hit or you fill in the blank.
(14:32):
It becomes almost if you're a patriot, it's almost your
obligation to do something. If I believe that stuff, I
feel like I should do something.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
True.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
But if you're a narcissist, you're scapegoating.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You're forming mobs.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
You get in getting these social media and Reddit rooms
where you're convinced that of your sense of reality, and
these things happen. And the thing about escapegoat is they
can flip into a martyr, and I think that's exactly
what happened with Charlie Kirk. And he's obviously motivating a
lot of spiritual transformation change.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, And they've had one hundred and twenty five thousand
requests to start an on campus branch of Turning Point USA,
which I think is terrific. When I was a kid,
I think I had five or six vaccines, you know, inoculations, immunizations.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
What is it now? Is it one hundred and thirty?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
It's close to one hundred.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
But the reality this is back to what I was
saying earlier. Look, I was raised by an old Talley
practitioner and he would never let me take any medication ever.
I remember the first time I took an antibiotic. I
was fifteen, and he came home with some sponsors with
some samples.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
And he goes, all, right, here we go. I mean,
the pediatrician wants you to do.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I think it's a terrible idea, but go ahead, he would.
He is rolling over his brave with all of But
everything we do has risked everything, and we have lost
track of that. We are so enthusiastic about our medical
advances that we assume it's only going to make a
positive change. We are not contemplating what we are doing.
There's down to every intervention, particularly pharmacology and interventions that
(16:05):
manipulate our immune system.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Of course, there's going to be a downside. One more question.
Need to be sure the risk is worth it?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
One more question. I'll let you go.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
There are six kids in our family growing up, and
I used to hate getting shots because my arm would
be on fire for the next five days, and I
hated it. I couldn't stand going to the doctor. So
we went to get our shots. It was a fall,
the fall of like I don't know, nineteen seventy one
or whatever it was. And while the the nurse was
giving my four brothers and my sister a shot, I
(16:31):
took one of those round band aids and put it
on my arm and she said, did everyone? She said,
did everyone get it? And I said yeah, and I
pointed my arm. She goes, oh, I didn't think I
gave it to you. I guess I did. I missed
that vaccine or that, but I don't know what one.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
It was justed for a career radio.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But there are questions about the childhood vaccine schedule A
hepatitis B.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I was around.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
My residency director was very involved in the research. I
was there during the research and we were interested in
intervening on maternal field maternal to baby transmission of HEPBIE
in China. It is still primarily in Asia that this exists.
It's almost only in IVY drug users and Asian immigrants
that it exists in this country.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
And guess what those people are tested for?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Hepatitis B, and that baby if the mom has had
sepatitis B, we'll get the vaccine. Why are we giving
it to every baby in the country.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's bizarre, It's.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Crazy, buddy. I really appreciate coming on. I would love
to have you, you know, on every couple of months,
and the audience really enjoys hearing your boys.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
All right, it's good to hear yours and I love
to join you.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Thanks man, I appreciate it, all right, Digos, Doctor Drew Pinsky.
Don't forget he mentioned the rescue mission downtown, the Union
Rescue Mission. We are supporting them with Neil Sevedra and
Amy King jumping off a building and scaling.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
I think it's the universe. Will share it up at
Universal Studios. So if you can support them doing that,
that would be great. Are We've got some breaking news here.
Body discovered near the two ten freeway in Azusa. Come
back and see what that's all about.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Santa Anita is opened. It opened today. I made a
couple of bets on TVG before I came in. They
work out not good, I will. I lost every one
of them, every single bet I made, and I made
a lot of them.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I made one.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Few, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen,
fifty seventy, twenty, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four,
twenty six, seven, twenty twenty nine, thirty thirty one, three two, three,
thirty four, thirty five, three, sixty seven eight or nine,
forty forty five, forty seven, forty eight, forty nine, fifty
over probably about eighty bets correct, they're all know, fifty
(19:00):
cents here dollar there. And Ted Ziggenbusch gave me three
horses in the sixth race.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Did you go with those bets? Or go against those?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
He gave me the nine, six and seven. I went
with the nine and six, you know, the top two
bets that he had, well, the third one one. And
if i'd put if I would have which I don't
normally do. But if I put twenty dollars to win
on it and it won, which it did called Newport Dreams,
it would have I would have gotten six hundred dollars back.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
But I didn't do it missed by that much. And
it drives me absolutely crazy. I might have to stop.
It just drives me too crazy, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
And I'm making stop and I'm making these two dollars
like you know, there's I'm making. Well, I'll tell you
the bets here on TVG. I'll just read you some
of the bets that I'm making here. Five dollars to win,
five dollars to win, dollar trifacta dollar exact, dollar pick three,
dollar pick three. These are all dollar fifty cent you know.
(20:04):
Two dollars five dollars is the most I bet. And
I still can't win them. I mean, I've scattered the
it's it's so impossible to make fifty three bets and
win zero, you know, like a monkey could go out
there and win. So anyway, Santanita is open, I'm going
I'm going out tomorrow. The chili at sant Anita is
(20:27):
the best in the world. I've never had a bad
bowl of chili out there. It's gonna be nice. Let's
see what the weather is gonna be like, it's gonna
be a chili weather. And even if it's warm outside,
you can enjoy a bowl of chili. What the hell,
But tomorrow it's gonna be seventy five degrees in Arcadia.
Let me see a r C A da okay in Arcadia, California. Tomorrow,
(20:52):
the high is going is going to be seventy seven
degrees with a thirty five percent chance of rain. Sixty
four is the low, seventy seven is the high with
a thirty five percent chance of rain.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I will be there with a jacket.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
On, earth sweater on, and I will be eating a
bowl of chili. I bring my own crackers, which is
kind of a crazy guy thing to do. I get that,
you know, walking into the track with your own sleeve
of crackers is not a high end move.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
I totally understand that saltines at least saltines all right,
But I bring my own because the crackers at Santanita
stale stalely.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I don't know where they get them or how long
they've had them, but stale is the way to describe them.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
So people don't eat. They eat the chili, but they
don't eat the crackers, so they just sit there. No,
they eat stale crackers.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
They don't know anything, you know, they don't know there's no,
they don't know there's stale. I do because I'm alive.
But most of those guys are dead, you know. Oh yeah,
the taste buds are gone. All the feeling they've ever
had their lives are gone. You know, their love life
is going to the toilet because they've you know, all
their money's at San Anita.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
But I just I love going out there.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
There's nothing like being at a racetrack with a couple
of bucks on a horse that's winning in the stretch.
There's nothing like it, nothing like it in the world.
And it's Santa Anita. Like a lot of race tracks,
you can win on a dime. You can bet ten cents.
Ten cents is the lowest amount of money you can bet.
(22:26):
But you can bet ten cents and you could win
two or three thousand dollars. So get on out there tomorrow.
I'll see you out there tomorrow. I'll give you you know,
if you say hi, I'll give you a ding dong.
We're not gonna spend a lot of time together. We're
just gonna say hi, and then I'm gonna go my
way and you go your way. And track guys know that.
Track guys know it's not a full day together. We're
(22:49):
just gonna you know, fist bump and walk.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Away from each other, and Timmy, don't you love giving
tips and advice and for all the new betters out there?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
So I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I went out with a friend of mine who's never
been to the track before, and he asked me a
million questions and I finally just took an uber home.
I said, I got to get out of here, and
I just split. I couldn't take it. I couldn't take
it anymore. But it is a great hang, San Anita.
I think the first post tomorrow is.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
At one o'clock.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Let me look that up. I think it's one o'clock.
It was today, it was one o'clock. And it's just
a really cool hang. So we'll see out there tomorrow
at Santa Anita. All right, let's find out real quickly
what's going on the two ten. Here a body found
in a zuza along the two ten freeway.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
This is serious.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
This is where a body has been found in a zuza.
Skyfawk's over this scene here. It was found next to
the two ten freeway, right along that embankment there. This
is off the northbound lanes west of Baranca Avenue.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
You see the crime.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Scene tape up first responders on scene. SHP confirms this
is right near a homeless encampment. As we circle this
particular area where the actual body was found. Law enforcement
does have this area taped off as they investigate. Obviously
you're going to want to avoid this area right off
the two ten freeway in Azuza near Baranca.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
I noticed that all channels do.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
There's two, four, five, seven, nine eleven, all the news,
local news. There was a there's a fire near Dodger
Stadium last night or yesterday, and they will hint that
there's an encampment around there, but they won't use the
term or like in here. They used it real quickly.
You know, it's like, oh, it's a fire at Dodger Stadium.
There might have been in the capital there and it's
(24:38):
the fire department has just got there. You know, they'll
say it very quickly too, because the stink of these
of the homeless people lighting fires. It happens every single day,
multiple times a day. I bet LA fire department. I
bet there's a large percentage of their calls that they
go out on fires started by homeless people. I'll bet
(25:00):
it's thirty or forty percent of their calls easily easily,
and then in the news they just ignore it or
they do it real quickly and there's an.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Incampment out there. Oh Dodgers didn't Dodgers won the National
League West. Then they'll they'll move on. They won't talk
about the encampment. I don't know why. I don't know why.
Must be uh political, maybe who knows.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Busy weekend. You've got the NFL this weekend. You've got
the Dodgers playing in Seattle. They're going to continue playing
after postseason starting Tuesday, so get your tickets for Dodgers
Stadium as the Dodgers will be playing on Tuesday. That
game will probably start at five thirty. Between five and six,
(25:45):
I think it's five thirty that there's not I think
it's they're going to announce it. But I'll bet you
or at least Tim Kats, who knows a lot about baseball,
thinks it's going to be a five to thirty start.
So we've got that San Anita is opening. It opened today,
which is great news for me to be at the
racetrack watching football on the TV. There is no equivalent
(26:11):
being at Morongo or being at San Nita, being around
a casino or racetrack and watching football on TV is
second to nothing. It's great and I'm very excited. So
we've got that going on. We've got crazy people jumping
off the building. I think Amy King did it and
Neil Savedra is Neil doing it?
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Scale what do they call it?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Shimmying, scaling, scaling, scaling down the building, repelling. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
and that will be they'll raise a lot of money
for that. And then we have the car show out
at Warner Center Park on Saturday. That's tomorrow from nine
am to four pm, fifty eight hundred to Panga Canyon
(26:57):
Boulevard in Woodland Hills, a big ass car show and
all the money, all the proceeds are going to go
to family members of either fallen, injured or sick firefighters.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
That is a great cause.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
They got a lot of advertisers out there and they're
going to hopefully make a lot of money. But it
is cashless, so you do have to bring a credit
card or an ATM card or I don't know, Apple pay.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
You'll figure it out. You're smart, you'll figure that out.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I always say that to my wife whenever she asked
me a question, I'm like, you're smart, you'll figure that out.
And she does. She figures it out like belly, oh, Belly,
you're smart.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Belly.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I always say about you. What do I always say
about you about sleep?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
That I if I get a little sleep, I'm as
sharp as they come.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
That's exactly right. When I don't, yeah, you're a lunatic.
But when but when you get some sleep, you're as
sharp as they come.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Thank you. Yeah, I think that's true, all right.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
If you live in Long Beach, the self checkout maybe
going the way of the Dodo bird.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Well, we're outside one of the four stores in Long Beach,
this one on Spring Street that's pulled the plug on
it self checkout. Longs The city says this new ordinance
comes down to one thing, stopping theft, and this is
one way they plan on doing it. If shoppas were
planning to use the self checkout at this Vaughn's on
Spring Street.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Think again.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
You know, there's nothing more irritating than doing a self
checkout and the machine stops for some reason, you know,
somehow it's screwed up, or you screwed it up and
you can't find anyone to help you.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
That will make your blood boil. There's now this.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Sign letting them know it's closed.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
It was pretty busy. There's a lot of people in there.
The lines were pretty long.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
The city of Long Beach passed a new law targeting rising.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
What a great observation by this young lady.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
See there's a lot of people in there. The lines
were pretty long.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
She nailed it.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
The City of Long Beach passed a new law targeting
rising theft, impacting at least nineteen grocery and direct stores
in the area. Called the Safe Stores are staffed Stores Ordnance.
It sets new rules for self checkout.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Machines, you know where they self checkout sort of had
its first fatal flaw is where you can't buy alcohol
or cigarettes. You know, you just want to get in
there and you want to get I don't know, three
cases of beer for the night. Then you and a
couple of you know, leaders of vodka. You couldn't do
it at the self checkout, and that's where you want
(29:34):
to do it, you know, so you're not judged by
the cashier, because the cashier will judge you. You know,
I stare at you and at the liquor, and you
and the liquor, and you feel bad, and that's one
of the reasons you're buying it, you know, because you're
being judged all the time.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Stores must have one employee for every three self checkout lanes.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Okay, that's not a bad rule of thumb. One employee
for every three self checkout lanes. I think that's a
good ratio.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Self checkout lanes can only handle transactions of fifteen items
or fewer. They also can't be used to buy items
that require ID verification or those with special theft prevention measures.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
This was not about just you know, it's.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Like, we work there now, all the rules we have
to know about self checkout, we work at the grocery store.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
Was not about just you know, who's working where. It
was how do we make sure that no employee ever
feels like they are helpless and without the ability to
protect themselves in a work environment from the public.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
With workers supervising fewer machines, the union that represents them
says they can now better help customers who struggle with
self checkout and also more effectively deter theft by keeping
a closer watch.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah, I don't like the self checkout because it does,
you know, mean less jobs too, and I like to
keep people employed.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
I do the self checkout, but I don't like it.
I don't like the work there, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I do like to have I know the ladies who
work at our pavilions, and I like to chat with them.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It means I'm getting older, right, I get that, you know.
But I do like to talk with somebody. And the
self checkout is just so cold and empty, and you
feel like a you feel like you're a machine as well.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
There's no personal touch to it.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
It's no secret that the grocery industry brought in self
checkout to trim staff to try to make fewer workers
do more.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
The stores are implementing the policy in different ways. A
spokesperson for Vaughn's told us in a statement, the ordinance
requires that locked or secured items cannot be purchased through
self checkout. As a result, our self checkout lanes are
currently unavailable. A USC business professor who studies have technology
and innovation shape the way we work, so automation like
(31:56):
self checkouts is still a work in progress.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
The work store work as compliments and provide in the
long run, more value for consumers.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
In the meantime, I don't think they had to go
to a professor at UCLA to knock that out. That
self checkout is a work in progress. I think you
could have asked anybody in the world and they would
have responded correctly.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
In the meantime, chappers say not having the option at
some stores is feeling more like a hassle.
Speaker 8 (32:23):
Definitely adds a lot of time, since like it took
so long to wait in line to get my grocery.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Stores that don't comply could face fine starting at one
hundred dollars per day per worker, and those fines could
increase tap to one thousand dollars if the violations continue.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
There you go to get my grocry. Took a long
time to get a groce since like.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
It took so long to wait in line to get
my grocery.
