Encino residents are calling for more cameras as a rash of burglaries continues and smoky skies from nearby wildfires worsen air quality. Meanwhile, L.A. has shelled out over $86 million in sidewalk injury claims—and delays in fixing them are raising eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Hey, you know,
there's been a lot of talk about burglaries in Encino,
and I grew up in that area. I'm born and
raised in Torrazana, and then my dad moved to Encino
off of Magnolia and Balboa, and that's where I spent
(00:24):
from nineteen seventy one until I don't know, maybe early nineties,
and so I'm really familiar with Encino. I can drive
through the Encino Hills with my eyes closed and not
hit a park car. Born and raised in that area,
I had a lot of friends who lived in the
Encino Hills. My dad had six kids, so he didn't
(00:48):
want to be in the hills. Plus he's also at
Hollywood Park in San Nita. And you can't be at
Hollywood Park at San Nita if you're all if you're
in the hills, you got to spend all your money
on your house. So I'm surprised that nobody called me
and said, hey, we've got a problem and in Sino
can you help us out cause I can tell you
(01:09):
how to lock and Sino off. You can put a
car with a camera and lights on it and take
video of every everybody coming into Encino with about ten cars,
and you start with Linley and you put one car
at Linley and Ventura. You put another one at Zelza
(01:31):
or Newcastle, and then another one at White Oak, and
then you got Encino. You've got Louise. You don't need
one in Balboa because Balboa filters up to where Louise
and Encino came in, and you can literally there's like
ten to fifteen ways to get into those hills. You know,
(01:52):
there's Woodley, Gloria, and then the smaller streets. I don't
know what's more. I think Densmore is there, and then
hass Goal and then that's it. And then you put
a couple of cars. You don't need any cars along
the four five, you know, with cameras filming people coming
in and out, because it's only one way to get
in off the foural five that's under supultive Onspolta Boulevard.
(02:14):
So you don't need anything to the east. You only
need a few cars to the west, and then you
really only need one or two from the north because
if somebody's coming to Encino, they've got to come off Mulholland,
and the only real way to get into Encino on
a thorough fare there is Havenhurst. So you put a
car up on Havenhurst and Maulholland taking pictures if everyone
(02:35):
comes into Encino, and that's really the only way to
get into the Encino Hills is Havenhurst Drive or Havenhurst Avenue,
and they've all got to come through. If you're going
to go north or south, you've got to go to
Encino Hills Drive, or you've got to go to Mulholland
and Havenhurst. So if I had if I had fifteen
(02:58):
cars and they all had camp and lights and people
knew that they were coming into Encino because they could
see there being photographed, I could lock in Sino and
Sino the entire city off with about fifteen maybe eighteen cars.
You know, you get security cars at all those entrances
and you put lights and you and as people drive
(03:18):
through there, it's very noticeable you're taking a picture of them,
and you're taking a picture of their license plate. And
you can get the information of ninety eight percent of
the people that come to Encino. And there's only about
fifteen ways to get into the Encino Hills, and you
could do that. You don't have to rely on LAPD.
LAPD has got a lot going on. LAPD has to
(03:41):
patrol La Police Department has to patrol from Chatsworth to
sam Pedro. That's their area, sam Pedro to Chatsworth. It's
huge San Fernando Valley. There's two million people or three
million people live just in the San Fernando Valley and
it's hard to get from one end of the valley
to the other. Code three is fifteen minutes yep, maybe
(04:05):
maybe even longer. So if Encino wants the help, I'm available.
I can teach how to do it. I probably have
more experience in the Encino area and the Encino Hills
than ninety five percent of the people who currently live
in Encino. Andro Limousine. I grew up in that area,
(04:26):
and I can teach you in about two days. We
could lock in Sino Hills off by putting cameras at
all those entrances I just mentioned with lights on, you know,
get a generator out there, get a couple of floodlights,
and then everybody that rolls through there, they know their
pictures being taken, they know their licenses, plates being captured
(04:48):
on camera, and it's easier to nail these guys. And
I'm surprised they don't do it. How come I know
how to do it and they don't. I could do it,
and I want to. I don't mean to ask for
I could come up with a plan to lock and
Sino off for you, And if you want me to
do it, just email us and I'll put that plan
(05:08):
together for you and we can lock and Sino off
by this Friday. We can get the equipment, the cars,
the cameras, the lights. I'm sure people in Sino Hills
will donate money, some money up there, I've noticed, and
we can do it. I can with fifteen maybe eighteen
maximum maximum eighteen cars at the entrances and the exits
(05:33):
to Encino, with obvious cameras, obvious floodlights, and people know
they're being photographed. They are not going to rip people
off in the Encino Hills, and if they do, it'll
be much easier to capture them. You can lock and
Sino off tonight if you wanted to. It's landlocked pretty
much the four or five to the East Ventura Boulevard
(05:55):
to the south Maulholland there's only one way, one real
way to get into Encino from the south. It's Maulholland
and Havenhurst. I don't even think that of the road
is open. The other one that's that's a little bit
west of there is called I think it's called it.
I think they call that Encino Hills Drive. But that's
a very tiny street that most people don't even know
(06:18):
it is there. And sometimes you know, past Havenhurst west
of there is closed. Anyway, they close that off during
the summer. I guess they want people you know, back
there starting fires. But so emails conways, show at iHeartMedia
dot com and I'll come out to Encino. It's always
(06:38):
up to me. I'll do it again. You know, people
in Cino they're having meetings and conference calls and you know,
hiring security. You don't have to do all that. You
just have to put a car with lights and capture
everybody that comes in and out of Encino in the
Hills with a camera, and you could stop it tonight
(06:59):
and surprised they're not doing that. So email me. I know,
it's always up to me, and I can show you
how to do that. So convoys show at iHeartMedia dot com.
What's going on in uh Oh. That was an earlier story.
That was the chase earlier that that was a new one.
All right. The air quality is horrible because of the smoke,
(07:21):
especially in the Inland Empire. If you got kids, you
got to be careful with these young, young lungs that
these little ones have.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Air feels just a little bit heavier, and that's because
it is. Now we have those three wildfires burning here
in southern California. That's not only creating that smoke and
ash haze that you can see over my shoulder here,
but it's also causing a smoke advisory to be issued
by the South Coast AQMD. So what that means is
that sensitive groups or higher in parts of the South
(07:52):
Coast Air Basin and Coachella Valley are being impacted by
this smoke advisory. And you can take a look there
of that air quality index which measures from zero to
five hundred. Of course, under fifty is healthy, Over fifty
to one hundred is moderate, and anything over one hundred
can be harmful.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It is bad news. Anything over one hundred is really
bad news.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Now, smoke from the Rosa, Gifford and Gold fires is
predicted to cost.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Hey, belly, we're trying to do a show in here.
That's God, so righty, that's okay your mica zone.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Smoke from the Rosa, Gifford and Gold fires is predicted
to cause particulate pollution levels.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Are you talking to, Lindsay Now?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Smoke from the Rosa, Gifford and Gold fires is predicted
to cause particulate pollution levels in the moderate to unhealthy,
especially for sensitive groups.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Typically, this actually involves those such as children, elderly pregnant women.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Those.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I think they missed the comma there.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Elderly pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, I think it's elderly beat pregnant women. It's just
not old. It's not elderly pregnant women. Yeah, elderly pregnant women. Children,
you have to have a beat there.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Elderly pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Not enough, not enough for me. Elderly pregnant women. God,
what a horrible singles ad that is. I'm pregnant woman.
Ah swipe, So you want no answer, you want no repeats.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Mighty elderly pregnant women ooh ooh fi.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Elderly pregnant women, those with respiratory conditions such as asthma
or COPD and even those with heart disease. So these
are the sensitive or most vulnerable population of patients to
bad air quality while inside.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You can use an air filter. That would be very helpful,
you know.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I speaking of heart disease and heart attacks, Norm MacDonald
said something very funny. He said, you know when people say, oh,
he died in his sleep, right, he died peacefully in
his sleep? He goes, what died peacefully? He says, if
my cat, you know, walks across my chest, I jump
up at night. Your heart's attacking you and killing you.
(10:09):
You think that was peaceful. You think the guy just
passed away. Now he fought like hell for like an hour,
you know, screaming nobody heard him. He died peacefully, now,
not of a heart attack. Heart attacks don't take you peacefully.
They are real attention getter. You ever seen somebody in
the hospital after they've had a heart attack. They can't
(10:31):
describe the pain that they went through. It's almost impossible
to verbalize how much pain that comes along with that
kind of heart attack. It's a sharp, hot, piercing pain
that you cannot describe. It's like, you know, delivering a baby.
(10:53):
For women, they said, it's about ten times worse than that.
That is a heart attack. Died peacefully in a sleep
from a heart attack. I don't think so. I don't
think so. I think the last couple of minutes we're
like on fire.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KF I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Don't forget. Tomorrow is our big zoom call. You'll want
to get involved with that, you know, if you even
have like one percent, you know, desire to go on
this cruise with us next July up to Alaska and Canada.
Then the zoom call join us tomorrow, zoom call. I'll
be on it. I'll probably be pretty buzzed, but I'll
(11:34):
be on the call. It's gonna be at seven o'clock.
So I'll probably bring a bottle of vodka to work
and then take three or four shots before the zoom
call begins, so they could get a little taste of
what you'll be like on the cruise. That's right, smoking
cigarettes and fighting, that's right. It's fun. Yeah, it's gonna
be a fun cruise. And lets we get thrown off.
(11:57):
That won't be that great, but hopeful we won't. But
you can go to Conwaycruise dot com and click on
the zoom link there and then we'll be on together,
you know, together again, me and you. So if you're
interested in that cruise, even if you're not, if you
want to get on the zoom call, go ahead and
(12:18):
do it. Didn't hear that from me?
Speaker 7 (12:20):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
LA sidewalks bad news, LA sidewalks. It's one of the
reasons I moved out of LA. I had a bad
experience with LA services, and I told my wife we're
not moving back into the city of LA until they
get their act together. And it doesn't sound like they have.
Doesn't sound like they're even close to getting it together.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
This viewer reached out to us because this broken sidewalk
right here has been in front of an eighty five
year old woman's ho who she deeply cares about.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Now.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Eight years ago they were told repairs could be just
six months away, but months of waiting have turned into
years of waiting.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
That's like Christmas present.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
It would be a Christmas presenting in this fixed.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Getting this sidewalk fixed in front of her home has
been eighty five year old Judy bars wish list.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
For eight years now, and neither.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
She was in her seventies when this happened to her
in her seventies, she was seventy seven, seventy eight years old.
Was she pregnant? Oh, she may have been an elderly
pregnant woman. Yeah, that's possible and neither so maybe that's
why the sidewalks broke. So pregnant and elderly pregnant, Yeah,
busting up those sidewes.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
And neither Santa nor the city have delivered.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I don't want to fall, so I say, you know,
let's go this way where there's.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Is that Bellio? Did you do this or is that
the lady God? That sounds exactly like Bellio? Did you
put in that sound? That sound? Or is that on
the news? That was that was on the news?
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Man, if I close my eyes, that's exactly h me here, Bellio.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
Wow, I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It sounds like yeah. When I walk out with Bellio
every night and she goes on the stairs because I
don't want to fall.
Speaker 11 (14:10):
I know what she takes, these little tiny baby steps.
You know, she's like heels. I'm in wedges, I know,
but you're not in stripper heels. You're not in you know,
nine inches you're in your flats, you're in I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
A working mom flats. I'm in my working mom stage.
She's have heels.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I don't want to fall, and I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Every night it's seven oh five.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Not tonight, not tonight, Not tonight, No I will Okay,
who do you think you're talking to?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
John?
Speaker 11 (14:45):
Okay, all right, all right, not tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I don't have to take that. John has to take.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That, not me.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
BELLI, oh, it does sound like you. I know you
have little human about this, but this is you.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
She's not smiling, is she?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
No?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So I say, you know, let's go this way where
there's no hold.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Judy seems like she's pretty independent, pretty spunky.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (15:17):
How worry are you that?
Speaker 6 (15:19):
She was very try to walk down there?
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Verry janeterior designer Holly Westoff was hired by Judy eight
years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Oh boy, why is that? Why did What was Judy's complaint?
Speaker 9 (15:29):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Hollywood's concerned these cracks could really hurt her client.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It's not safe for anybody, but it's especially a hazard
for someone like Judy.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
So eight years ago, Holly filed to complaint with three
to one one to get this all fixed. All the
way back on June twenty seventh of twenty seventeen.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Whoa, he seems like she's Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Holly got this email from the city saying her request
has been found eligible and our wait time is approximately
six months to initiate sidewalk repair.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And then six months goes by and we heard nothing
about eight years.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, eight years have gone by, and then you know,
cut to COVID happens, and then that's the excuse for
why it isn't fixed.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
But eight years is nuts.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I don't want to fall.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
And there's more than wood hazard in this neighborhood. Just
look at the sidewalk right across the street because of
these tree roots. There's probably a four inch difference between
this part of the sidewalk that I'm on, Wow, and
that part of the sidewalk right there.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Oh my god, I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I get it. I get it. BELLI.
Speaker 13 (16:38):
I can definitely say you will find almost on every
block a rise in the sidewalk to where it's actually
become dangerous.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Okay, We're going to come back and find out what
happened to Jude.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Jude.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I find out if she is getting her sidewalk repaired
to this, you know, thanks to the news, or if
she's going to continue to complain to everybody.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
Then I don't want to fall.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
She doesn't want to You're listening to Tim Conway Junior
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Let's go back to our sidewalk woman here. She's eighty
five years old and she's been waiting eight years to
have her sidewalks repaired in the city of Los Angeles,
eight years.
Speaker 9 (17:21):
I don't want to fall, man.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
She doesn't want to fall. I moved out of the
City of LA because of an issue like this.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
We had.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Our sidewalk was cracked and people were, you know, kids
came by skating on skateboards and they would fall, and
I was just worried someone's going to sue me or
you know, somebody get hurt, and I'd feel horrible, And
so I called the City of LA and I said, hey,
can you guys come out and fix this? And the
lady said, we're going to put you on a wait list.
(17:49):
She said there's two lists. One is we'll do all
the work ourselves the city, and b is you pay half,
we pay half, and it's quicker. And I said, okay,
what's the How long is the list where you guys
handle everything? And she said, and I was on speakerphone
and my wife heard this, so she can you know,
(18:11):
verify that this is true. She said, that list right
now is fifty years five zero, fifty years to get
the city of La to repair your sidewalk fifty. I said, oh,
I don't. I'm not going to be around you know
in fifty years that it's not going to happen. So
I said, I'll pay half. You guys pay half. So
(18:33):
they charged me twelve hundred dollars. And I waited two weeks,
three weeks, two months, three months, and I finally called.
I said, hey, where's the guy? I paid half and
now you guys are going to do the other half,
right I paid twelve hundred bucks and she said, oh no, no.
She was sort of laughed at me. She said, sweetie,
twelve hundred dollars was just for us to give you
(18:53):
the permit to do it. And I said, okay, I
got to get out of here. We moved. It wasn't
only that, it was a couple other issues in the
city of La. The first week we were living in Tarzana,
guy came down our street. It was k Hill Drive
in Tarzana. Guy came down the street and with a
shotgun and shot like seven or eight shots, maybe handgun,
(19:16):
and we hit the floor. Called nine one one. It
was a hot summer night, I remember that, and the
nine one one operator answered and she says, anybody down.
I said, yeah, me and my wife. She goes, you've
been shot. I said, no, we're dang, we're down. We're
laying down because somebody's driving down on a street shooting.
And she said, do you see anybody that's been hit
(19:36):
or any house has been hit? I said, and I
looked out, so I said no, no, I don't see
anybody down. And she said, call us back if you
see anybody who's been shot. That with the combination of
the fifty year waight on sidewalks, I said, I got
to get out. I can't. I can't live in a
city that's you know, that's that out of control.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
I don't want to fall and I.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Didn't want to fall se if this lady's gonna get
a sidewalks repaired.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
So I say, so, what's the hold up of getting
these sidewalks fixed? The city's Public Works department tells us
due to the overwhelming number of requests to fix sidewalks
and because of over four thousand pending.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Access requests, some requests may take up to ten years
to fix.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, that's better than fifty when I was living there.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
As for this sidewalk in front of Judy's home, public
Works tells us, fortunately, this site has reached the top
of the queue and is on.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Track to be remediated this fiscal year.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, I would stay on high alert. I wouldn't depend
on them coming out.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
And right after we heard that, Holly got an email
from three to one one saying her request has been
updated to the design phase.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Well, I know seven on.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Your side, and you guys have done so many great
things for so many people.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I was like, if they can't do it, nobody can now.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Of course, it does cost taxpayer money to fix these sidewalks,
and we all do know. So the city is tight
on funds, but check out this huge number and roughly
the past five years, the city has paid out more
than eighty six million dollars all because of lawsuits.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Relating to sidewalk.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
So what.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
This huge number, And roughly the past five years, the
city has paid out more than eighty six million dollars
all because of lawsuits relating to sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So they could have fixed every sidewalk in LA with
eighty six million dollars, but instead they pay it out lawsuits.
So they're already eighty six million dollars in the whole.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Relating to sidewalk.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
So there's also a cost involved when the city.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Doesn't repair these sidewalks. Mark and Jovanna, that's right. Probably
cheaper to just repair them.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah man, yeah yeah man,
yeah yeah, yeah, that's right. So I moved to Burbank
and I didn't want to fall.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
So I moved to Burbank and I was in Burbank
for about three months and the City Burbank came by
and repla placed my sidewalk because the tree roots were
coming through it without me even calling. I never even called.
And the city of Burbank is beautifully run. I know.
I probably I shouldn't say it because then everyone will
want to, you know, live in Burbank. It'll be crowded,
(22:14):
but the city of Burbank has great schools, great cops,
great fire department, and they care. And there's cops everywhere.
Every time I go out to Empire Center or out
to eat, or out to you know, the cleaners or
post office, I always see Bourbank cops always. They're everywhere.
(22:35):
It's a small city. There's one hundred and seventy cops
and they are everywhere in Burbank. It's not the place
to commit a crime. They I don't know how they
do that, but they're extremely visible. If you've driven through
a Burbank, you've seen a cop.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, BELLI oh please.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
This portion of show is being brought to you by
Advanced Hair one day treatment, life changing results. Make your
appointment today at Advancedair dot com. And we also have
to say final farewell to William Osborne, LA Sheriff's Department.
He is one of the three deputies that passed away
in the explosion with the hand grenade two weeks ago,
(23:25):
and they had a service today It was very moving.
There were some funny parts of it where the kids
talked about their dad, but very emotional. If you get
a chance to see it on the TV news tonight
or perhaps you know, watch it on YouTube, it was.
It was a great send off for a great man.
And that's what you can what you hope to ask
(23:47):
for at the end of your life. You know, hundreds
of people showing up because you did it right in life,
and you were a great dad and a great husband
and a great son, and you sacrifice a lot for
everybody else in your life except yourself. And that's what
these guys and gals do every single day on the
(24:10):
Sheriff's Department, l A, p D, a lot of the
police agencies, anybody who's serving the public and putting their
life in harm's way every day. They don't do it
for the money. They do it because they're born with
an instinct to protect other people. And thank god, there
are people out there like that still who sacrifice their
(24:32):
lives and their happiness for the safety of others. And
so William Osborne great guy, and I hope his family
can somehow have you know, not a horrible, terrible year
with you know, Thanksgiving and all the important dates that
(24:54):
come up when there's an empty seat there. I hope
that they remember, instead of being very sad, remember how
great their father was, and I think they will. They
all looked like they're terrific kids, and it's just a
horrible situation, just horrible. So to the Osborne family, God
(25:16):
bless all of you, and thank you for sharing your
dad and allowing him to get out there and do
what he loved doing, protecting other people. And again, thank
God there are still people out there like this. In
lighter news here, there's some controversy going on with beaches.
(25:40):
People are used to bring just a towel and hang
out on the beach, and then people brought a little umbrella,
and you know, then they would hang out on the beach.
And now people are bringing tents, huge, huge tents. It's
(26:03):
almost like they're moving to the beach. It's almost like
they're building a house out there. And those tents that
they bring out they obscure the view of parents who
are trying to keep an eye on their kids who
are in the water, and so there's a danger factor
to it as well. But people are now bringing way
(26:24):
too much equipment to the beach every day.
Speaker 14 (26:27):
As millions flock to the shore for some solitude in
the sun this summer, some beachgoers are finding that Sandy
Serenity is taking on an overwhelming new look with elaborate
beach setups.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, we're all pigs in this country, you know, we're
all just thinking of ourselves. You'll set up a tent
at the beach.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
When did we start bringing our entire living room to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's what people are doing. They're bringing in their house.
It's like got bringing an RV and plant it right
there on the sand.
Speaker 12 (26:54):
When did we start bringing our entire living room to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
That's a great question. When do we start bringing our
whole house to the beach. It used to be a towel.
Speaker 12 (27:01):
When did we start bringing our entire living room to
the beach?
Speaker 14 (27:04):
Colorful cabanas and shades, crowding already crowded shores, inflatables, massive
coolers and camping tents part of the takeover too.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Now all of a sudden, people will come early in
the morning and they'll leave these huge tents and just
go home. And then that's like their reserve space, exactly.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
An arm Everyone's just like on top of each other.
Speaker 14 (27:23):
Complaints over this new era of sand castles splashed across
social media.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Get them things, hang it, y'all.
Speaker 14 (27:31):
And while some are calling the coverings rude, others are
raising safety concerns.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
I can't see my ketlin shoes on the water.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
It blocks them view.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, that's dangerous when you can't see your kids and
they're swimming. They're young and swimming in the water. Instead
of just sitting there on the towel watching the kids,
now you gotta go down there and stand next to them.
Speaker 14 (27:50):
Some beaches in Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland have decided
to ban oversized coverings in an effort to enhance safety,
improve visibility, and ensure a more enjoyable experience for all beachgoers.
According to officials in Ocean City, Maryland.
Speaker 13 (28:04):
Where one deluxe cabana away from a full blown ha meeting.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
On the shore, that's right, that's a funny line. We're
very close to HOA meetings on the shore. That's funny from.
Speaker 13 (28:16):
A full blown HOA meeting on the shore.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
That's great.
Speaker 14 (28:19):
Stephanie Carls is a retail expert.
Speaker 13 (28:22):
In a summer where everything costs more, beach cabanas have
then become a way for families to create that comfort.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
They're carving out their.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
Own space and making the most of a day that
they've already spent a lot, even just to get there.
Speaker 14 (28:38):
And those big setups can come with big benefits, like
guards pointing out multiple anchor points are typically more secure
than umbrellas, and many hail the covering says important defenses
against the sun, especially when it comes to protecting seniors
and young kids.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, I understand that bringing. I do understand bringing umbrella
to keep the sun off you. I think that's perfectly
legitimate thing to bring. But an entire three bedroom tent.
Speaker 14 (29:03):
Shabuomi reporting a recent surgeon demand for its colorful sheaths,
selling more than one hundred thousand annually.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wow, if you need to stay out of the sun,
they do serve a great purpose.
Speaker 14 (29:12):
That way, as many agree, there's a mindful way to
do it.
Speaker 12 (29:16):
And I try to kick sleep back from.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Most of the crown, and everybody's kind of in front
of me.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
So I thought it was a good couple of months.
Speaker 15 (29:22):
So emily, other than an all out ban, what's being
done to stop these tents from just taking over.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
The beach completely great question. What do they do when
the beach is littered with nothing but tents?
Speaker 14 (29:32):
So there are different restrictions depending on the beach town.
One new rule in Maryland, for instance, says that you
can't leave canopies unattended before ten am, basically getting at
the fact they don't want people to claim space only
to return later in the day hours later to that
space and their elaborate set up. Another rule in Delaware
says people must set up their tents behind lifeguard stands
(29:54):
so they're not impeding on lifeguard's view of this show show.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's a good one. That's another good one. All right,
Singles out there we have Yeah, we got time. Singles
out there are ditching dating apps. What I thought dating
apps where everyone's going for many.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Summer is a time when love is in the air,
But a rising number.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
Of singles are back to searching for a partner the
old fashioned.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Way, going to a bar or restaurant in person.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Yeah, in person.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
In fact, the use of dating apps dropped about sixteen
percent last year on the most top ten most popular apps.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Meg Oliver checked out a new event that uses music
to try.
Speaker 16 (30:30):
And spark a little romance Yeah, when it comes to
dating these days, perhaps there's nothing that's making heart sing
more WOA than music.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
It Sounds, the.
Speaker 15 (30:43):
Music events startup group so Far Sounds has witnessed that
firsthand at their new Singles Night events in six cities worldwide,
including London Maybe You'll be Touching Your Life and New
York City.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Okay, so I'm going to introduce our very first artist tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I wonder why people are ditching dating apps. Maybe because
everybody's lying on them on a dating app. You know,
the pictures sort of been enhanced, their likes and dislikes
are probably not true. What they've done in life probably
has been fudged a little, and then you meet the
person like, ah, this is not the same person on
(31:20):
the dating app.
Speaker 15 (31:21):
They're intimate pop up concerts for young adults.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
So maybe this is it, you know, to get back
into meeting people in person, going out to a concert
or bar or even a grocery store.
Speaker 15 (31:32):
Pop up concerts for young adults looking for love through
a common passion.
Speaker 12 (31:36):
They're a past life.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
There's a store chase.
Speaker 15 (31:42):
Their quick sellouts have been quite the surprised just so
Far as crew lead Alexa Rene, who here is single.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
What's the response been like? Pretty light? According to that
sound bite, she said, who are here? Is single? And
like three people applauded here is single? What's the response nobody?
Speaker 10 (32:04):
The response has been kind of overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I'm overwhelming. Not to me, this is what's the response
been like? That's not overwhelming. That's not an overwhelming response.
That's underwhelming to me, it sounds like the worst response ever.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Kind of overwhelming.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
I mean, I think we started implementing this because we
knew that there was a desire for it, right, But
I think that we've all sort of been shocked by
the excitement that our guests have expressed.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Here are the big go cards they're about to.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
That excitement comes as new research indicate singles are turning
to micro communities like running groups, book clubs, and concerts
to meet people in person.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Okay, not a bad idea. I don't know if it's
gonna work, but it's people are leaving the dating apps,
and again, I think it's because everyone's lying on them
all the time. All right, Dom mo Kelly and As
grew up next on I Am six forty Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always
hear us live on KFI Am six forty four to
(33:08):
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. Hey, you know,
there's been a lot of talk about burglaries in Encino,
and I grew up in that area. I'm born and
raised in Torrazana, and then my dad moved to Encino
off of Magnolia and Balboa, and that's where I spent
(00:24):
from nineteen seventy one until I don't know, maybe early nineties,
and so I'm really familiar with Encino. I can drive
through the Encino Hills with my eyes closed and not
hit a park car. Born and raised in that area,
I had a lot of friends who lived in the
Encino Hills. My dad had six kids, so he didn't
(00:48):
want to be in the hills. Plus he's also at
Hollywood Park in San Nita. And you can't be at
Hollywood Park at San Nita if you're all if you're
in the hills, you got to spend all your money
on your house. So I'm surprised that nobody called me
and said, hey, we've got a problem and in Sino
can you help us out cause I can tell you
(01:09):
how to lock and Sino off. You can put a
car with a camera and lights on it and take
video of every everybody coming into Encino with about ten cars,
and you start with Linley and you put one car
at Linley and Ventura. You put another one at Zelza
(01:31):
or Newcastle, and then another one at White Oak, and
then you got Encino. You've got Louise. You don't need
one in Balboa because Balboa filters up to where Louise
and Encino came in, and you can literally there's like
ten to fifteen ways to get into those hills. You know,
(01:52):
there's Woodley, Gloria, and then the smaller streets. I don't
know what's more. I think Densmore is there, and then
hass Goal and then that's it. And then you put
a couple of cars. You don't need any cars along
the four five, you know, with cameras filming people coming
in and out, because it's only one way to get
in off the foural five that's under supultive Onspolta Boulevard.
(02:14):
So you don't need anything to the east. You only
need a few cars to the west, and then you
really only need one or two from the north because
if somebody's coming to Encino, they've got to come off Mulholland,
and the only real way to get into Encino on
a thorough fare there is Havenhurst. So you put a
car up on Havenhurst and Maulholland taking pictures if everyone
(02:35):
comes into Encino, and that's really the only way to
get into the Encino Hills is Havenhurst Drive or Havenhurst Avenue,
and they've all got to come through. If you're going
to go north or south, you've got to go to
Encino Hills Drive, or you've got to go to Mulholland
and Havenhurst. So if I had if I had fifteen
(02:58):
cars and they all had camp and lights and people
knew that they were coming into Encino because they could
see there being photographed, I could lock in Sino and
Sino the entire city off with about fifteen maybe eighteen cars.
You know, you get security cars at all those entrances
and you put lights and you and as people drive
(03:18):
through there, it's very noticeable you're taking a picture of them,
and you're taking a picture of their license plate. And
you can get the information of ninety eight percent of
the people that come to Encino. And there's only about
fifteen ways to get into the Encino Hills, and you
could do that. You don't have to rely on LAPD.
LAPD has got a lot going on. LAPD has to
(03:41):
patrol La Police Department has to patrol from Chatsworth to
sam Pedro. That's their area, sam Pedro to Chatsworth. It's
huge San Fernando Valley. There's two million people or three
million people live just in the San Fernando Valley and
it's hard to get from one end of the valley
to the other. Code three is fifteen minutes yep, maybe
(04:05):
maybe even longer. So if Encino wants the help, I'm available.
I can teach how to do it. I probably have
more experience in the Encino area and the Encino Hills
than ninety five percent of the people who currently live
in Encino. Andro Limousine. I grew up in that area,
(04:26):
and I can teach you in about two days. We
could lock in Sino Hills off by putting cameras at
all those entrances I just mentioned with lights on, you know,
get a generator out there, get a couple of floodlights,
and then everybody that rolls through there, they know their
pictures being taken, they know their licenses, plates being captured
(04:48):
on camera, and it's easier to nail these guys. And
I'm surprised they don't do it. How come I know
how to do it and they don't. I could do it,
and I want to. I don't mean to ask for
I could come up with a plan to lock and
Sino off for you, And if you want me to
do it, just email us and I'll put that plan
(05:08):
together for you and we can lock and Sino off
by this Friday. We can get the equipment, the cars,
the cameras, the lights. I'm sure people in Sino Hills
will donate money, some money up there, I've noticed, and
we can do it. I can with fifteen maybe eighteen
maximum maximum eighteen cars at the entrances and the exits
(05:33):
to Encino, with obvious cameras, obvious floodlights, and people know
they're being photographed. They are not going to rip people
off in the Encino Hills, and if they do, it'll
be much easier to capture them. You can lock and
Sino off tonight if you wanted to. It's landlocked pretty
much the four or five to the East Ventura Boulevard
(05:55):
to the south Maulholland there's only one way, one real
way to get into Encino from the south. It's Maulholland
and Havenhurst. I don't even think that of the road
is open. The other one that's that's a little bit
west of there is called I think it's called it.
I think they call that Encino Hills Drive. But that's
a very tiny street that most people don't even know
(06:18):
it is there. And sometimes you know, past Havenhurst west
of there is closed. Anyway, they close that off during
the summer. I guess they want people you know, back
there starting fires. But so emails conways, show at iHeartMedia
dot com and I'll come out to Encino. It's always
(06:38):
up to me. I'll do it again. You know, people
in Cino they're having meetings and conference calls and you know,
hiring security. You don't have to do all that. You
just have to put a car with lights and capture
everybody that comes in and out of Encino in the
Hills with a camera, and you could stop it tonight
(06:59):
and surprised they're not doing that. So email me. I know,
it's always up to me, and I can show you
how to do that. So convoys show at iHeartMedia dot com.
What's going on in uh Oh. That was an earlier story.
That was the chase earlier that that was a new one.
All right. The air quality is horrible because of the smoke,
(07:21):
especially in the Inland Empire. If you got kids, you
got to be careful with these young, young lungs that
these little ones have.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Air feels just a little bit heavier, and that's because
it is. Now we have those three wildfires burning here
in southern California. That's not only creating that smoke and
ash haze that you can see over my shoulder here,
but it's also causing a smoke advisory to be issued
by the South Coast AQMD. So what that means is
that sensitive groups or higher in parts of the South
(07:52):
Coast Air Basin and Coachella Valley are being impacted by
this smoke advisory. And you can take a look there
of that air quality index which measures from zero to
five hundred. Of course, under fifty is healthy, Over fifty
to one hundred is moderate, and anything over one hundred
can be harmful.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It is bad news. Anything over one hundred is really
bad news.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Now, smoke from the Rosa, Gifford and Gold fires is
predicted to cost.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Hey, belly, we're trying to do a show in here.
That's God, so righty, that's okay your mica zone.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Smoke from the Rosa, Gifford and Gold fires is predicted
to cause particulate pollution levels.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Are you talking to, Lindsay Now?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Smoke from the Rosa, Gifford and Gold fires is predicted
to cause particulate pollution levels in the moderate to unhealthy,
especially for sensitive groups.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Typically, this actually involves those such as children, elderly pregnant women.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Those.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I think they missed the comma there.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Elderly pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, I think it's elderly beat pregnant women. It's just
not old. It's not elderly pregnant women. Yeah, elderly pregnant women. Children,
you have to have a beat there.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Elderly pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Not enough, not enough for me. Elderly pregnant women. God,
what a horrible singles ad that is. I'm pregnant woman.
Ah swipe, So you want no answer, you want no repeats.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Mighty elderly pregnant women ooh ooh fi.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Elderly pregnant women, those with respiratory conditions such as asthma
or COPD and even those with heart disease. So these
are the sensitive or most vulnerable population of patients to
bad air quality while inside.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You can use an air filter. That would be very helpful,
you know.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I speaking of heart disease and heart attacks, Norm MacDonald
said something very funny. He said, you know when people say, oh,
he died in his sleep, right, he died peacefully in
his sleep? He goes, what died peacefully? He says, if
my cat, you know, walks across my chest, I jump
up at night. Your heart's attacking you and killing you.
(10:09):
You think that was peaceful. You think the guy just
passed away. Now he fought like hell for like an hour,
you know, screaming nobody heard him. He died peacefully, now,
not of a heart attack. Heart attacks don't take you peacefully.
They are real attention getter. You ever seen somebody in
the hospital after they've had a heart attack. They can't
(10:31):
describe the pain that they went through. It's almost impossible
to verbalize how much pain that comes along with that
kind of heart attack. It's a sharp, hot, piercing pain
that you cannot describe. It's like, you know, delivering a baby.
(10:53):
For women, they said, it's about ten times worse than that.
That is a heart attack. Died peacefully in a sleep
from a heart attack. I don't think so. I don't
think so. I think the last couple of minutes we're
like on fire.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KF I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Don't forget. Tomorrow is our big zoom call. You'll want
to get involved with that, you know, if you even
have like one percent, you know, desire to go on
this cruise with us next July up to Alaska and Canada.
Then the zoom call join us tomorrow, zoom call. I'll
be on it. I'll probably be pretty buzzed, but I'll
(11:34):
be on the call. It's gonna be at seven o'clock.
So I'll probably bring a bottle of vodka to work
and then take three or four shots before the zoom
call begins, so they could get a little taste of
what you'll be like on the cruise. That's right, smoking
cigarettes and fighting, that's right. It's fun. Yeah, it's gonna
be a fun cruise. And lets we get thrown off.
(11:57):
That won't be that great, but hopeful we won't. But
you can go to Conwaycruise dot com and click on
the zoom link there and then we'll be on together,
you know, together again, me and you. So if you're
interested in that cruise, even if you're not, if you
want to get on the zoom call, go ahead and
(12:18):
do it. Didn't hear that from me?
Speaker 7 (12:20):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
LA sidewalks bad news, LA sidewalks. It's one of the
reasons I moved out of LA. I had a bad
experience with LA services, and I told my wife we're
not moving back into the city of LA until they
get their act together. And it doesn't sound like they have.
Doesn't sound like they're even close to getting it together.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
This viewer reached out to us because this broken sidewalk
right here has been in front of an eighty five
year old woman's ho who she deeply cares about.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Now.
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Eight years ago they were told repairs could be just
six months away, but months of waiting have turned into
years of waiting.
Speaker 9 (12:57):
That's like Christmas present.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
It would be a Christmas presenting in this fixed.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
Getting this sidewalk fixed in front of her home has
been eighty five year old Judy bars wish list.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
For eight years now, and neither.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
She was in her seventies when this happened to her
in her seventies, she was seventy seven, seventy eight years old.
Was she pregnant? Oh, she may have been an elderly
pregnant woman. Yeah, that's possible and neither so maybe that's
why the sidewalks broke. So pregnant and elderly pregnant, Yeah,
busting up those sidewes.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
And neither Santa nor the city have delivered.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I don't want to fall, so I say, you know,
let's go this way where there's.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Is that Bellio? Did you do this or is that
the lady God? That sounds exactly like Bellio? Did you
put in that sound? That sound? Or is that on
the news? That was that was on the news?
Speaker 10 (13:51):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Man, if I close my eyes, that's exactly h me here, Bellio.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
Wow, I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It sounds like yeah. When I walk out with Bellio
every night and she goes on the stairs because I
don't want to fall.
Speaker 11 (14:10):
I know what she takes, these little tiny baby steps.
You know, she's like heels. I'm in wedges, I know,
but you're not in stripper heels. You're not in you know,
nine inches you're in your flats, you're in I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
A working mom flats. I'm in my working mom stage.
She's have heels.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I don't want to fall, and I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Every night it's seven oh five.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Not tonight, not tonight, Not tonight, No I will Okay,
who do you think you're talking to?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
John?
Speaker 11 (14:45):
Okay, all right, all right, not tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I don't have to take that. John has to take.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
That, not me.
Speaker 9 (14:52):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
BELLI, oh, it does sound like you. I know you
have little human about this, but this is you.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
She's not smiling, is she?
Speaker 9 (15:07):
No?
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So I say, you know, let's go this way where
there's no hold.
Speaker 8 (15:14):
Judy seems like she's pretty independent, pretty spunky.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (15:17):
How worry are you that?
Speaker 6 (15:19):
She was very try to walk down there?
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Verry janeterior designer Holly Westoff was hired by Judy eight
years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Oh boy, why is that? Why did What was Judy's complaint?
Speaker 9 (15:29):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Hollywood's concerned these cracks could really hurt her client.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
It's not safe for anybody, but it's especially a hazard
for someone like Judy.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
So eight years ago, Holly filed to complaint with three
to one one to get this all fixed. All the
way back on June twenty seventh of twenty seventeen.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
Whoa, he seems like she's Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Holly got this email from the city saying her request
has been found eligible and our wait time is approximately
six months to initiate sidewalk repair.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And then six months goes by and we heard nothing
about eight years.
Speaker 9 (16:07):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, eight years have gone by, and then you know,
cut to COVID happens, and then that's the excuse for
why it isn't fixed.
Speaker 9 (16:16):
But eight years is nuts.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I don't want to fall.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
And there's more than wood hazard in this neighborhood. Just
look at the sidewalk right across the street because of
these tree roots. There's probably a four inch difference between
this part of the sidewalk that I'm on, Wow, and
that part of the sidewalk right there.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Oh my god, I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I get it. I get it. BELLI.
Speaker 13 (16:38):
I can definitely say you will find almost on every
block a rise in the sidewalk to where it's actually
become dangerous.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Okay, We're going to come back and find out what
happened to Jude.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Jude.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I find out if she is getting her sidewalk repaired
to this, you know, thanks to the news, or if
she's going to continue to complain to everybody.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
Then I don't want to fall.
Speaker 7 (16:59):
She doesn't want to You're listening to Tim Conway Junior
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Let's go back to our sidewalk woman here. She's eighty
five years old and she's been waiting eight years to
have her sidewalks repaired in the city of Los Angeles,
eight years.
Speaker 9 (17:21):
I don't want to fall, man.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
She doesn't want to fall. I moved out of the
City of LA because of an issue like this.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
We had.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Our sidewalk was cracked and people were, you know, kids
came by skating on skateboards and they would fall, and
I was just worried someone's going to sue me or
you know, somebody get hurt, and I'd feel horrible, And
so I called the City of LA and I said, hey,
can you guys come out and fix this? And the
lady said, we're going to put you on a wait list.
(17:49):
She said there's two lists. One is we'll do all
the work ourselves the city, and b is you pay half,
we pay half, and it's quicker. And I said, okay,
what's the How long is the list where you guys
handle everything? And she said, and I was on speakerphone
and my wife heard this, so she can you know,
(18:11):
verify that this is true. She said, that list right
now is fifty years five zero, fifty years to get
the city of La to repair your sidewalk fifty. I said, oh,
I don't. I'm not going to be around you know
in fifty years that it's not going to happen. So
I said, I'll pay half. You guys pay half. So
(18:33):
they charged me twelve hundred dollars. And I waited two weeks,
three weeks, two months, three months, and I finally called.
I said, hey, where's the guy? I paid half and
now you guys are going to do the other half,
right I paid twelve hundred bucks and she said, oh no, no.
She was sort of laughed at me. She said, sweetie,
twelve hundred dollars was just for us to give you
(18:53):
the permit to do it. And I said, okay, I
got to get out of here. We moved. It wasn't
only that, it was a couple other issues in the
city of La. The first week we were living in Tarzana,
guy came down our street. It was k Hill Drive
in Tarzana. Guy came down the street and with a
shotgun and shot like seven or eight shots, maybe handgun,
(19:16):
and we hit the floor. Called nine one one. It
was a hot summer night, I remember that, and the
nine one one operator answered and she says, anybody down.
I said, yeah, me and my wife. She goes, you've
been shot. I said, no, we're dang, we're down. We're
laying down because somebody's driving down on a street shooting.
And she said, do you see anybody that's been hit
(19:36):
or any house has been hit? I said, and I
looked out, so I said no, no, I don't see
anybody down. And she said, call us back if you
see anybody who's been shot. That with the combination of
the fifty year waight on sidewalks, I said, I got
to get out. I can't. I can't live in a
city that's you know, that's that out of control.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
I don't want to fall and I.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Didn't want to fall se if this lady's gonna get
a sidewalks repaired.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
So I say, so, what's the hold up of getting
these sidewalks fixed? The city's Public Works department tells us
due to the overwhelming number of requests to fix sidewalks
and because of over four thousand pending.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Access requests, some requests may take up to ten years
to fix.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, that's better than fifty when I was living there.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
As for this sidewalk in front of Judy's home, public
Works tells us, fortunately, this site has reached the top
of the queue and is on.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Track to be remediated this fiscal year.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, I would stay on high alert. I wouldn't depend
on them coming out.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
And right after we heard that, Holly got an email
from three to one one saying her request has been
updated to the design phase.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Well, I know seven on.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Your side, and you guys have done so many great
things for so many people.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I was like, if they can't do it, nobody can now.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Of course, it does cost taxpayer money to fix these sidewalks,
and we all do know. So the city is tight
on funds, but check out this huge number and roughly
the past five years, the city has paid out more
than eighty six million dollars all because of lawsuits.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Relating to sidewalk.
Speaker 9 (21:12):
So what.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
This huge number, And roughly the past five years, the
city has paid out more than eighty six million dollars
all because of lawsuits relating to sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
So they could have fixed every sidewalk in LA with
eighty six million dollars, but instead they pay it out lawsuits.
So they're already eighty six million dollars in the whole.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
Relating to sidewalk.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
So there's also a cost involved when the city.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Doesn't repair these sidewalks. Mark and Jovanna, that's right. Probably
cheaper to just repair them.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah man, yeah yeah man,
yeah yeah, yeah, that's right. So I moved to Burbank
and I didn't want to fall.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
So I moved to Burbank and I was in Burbank
for about three months and the City Burbank came by
and repla placed my sidewalk because the tree roots were
coming through it without me even calling. I never even called.
And the city of Burbank is beautifully run. I know.
I probably I shouldn't say it because then everyone will
want to, you know, live in Burbank. It'll be crowded,
(22:14):
but the city of Burbank has great schools, great cops,
great fire department, and they care. And there's cops everywhere.
Every time I go out to Empire Center or out
to eat, or out to you know, the cleaners or
post office, I always see Bourbank cops always. They're everywhere.
(22:35):
It's a small city. There's one hundred and seventy cops
and they are everywhere in Burbank. It's not the place
to commit a crime. They I don't know how they
do that, but they're extremely visible. If you've driven through
a Burbank, you've seen a cop.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
I don't want to fall.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, BELLI oh please.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
This portion of show is being brought to you by
Advanced Hair one day treatment, life changing results. Make your
appointment today at Advancedair dot com. And we also have
to say final farewell to William Osborne, LA Sheriff's Department.
He is one of the three deputies that passed away
in the explosion with the hand grenade two weeks ago,
(23:25):
and they had a service today It was very moving.
There were some funny parts of it where the kids
talked about their dad, but very emotional. If you get
a chance to see it on the TV news tonight
or perhaps you know, watch it on YouTube, it was.
It was a great send off for a great man.
And that's what you can what you hope to ask
(23:47):
for at the end of your life. You know, hundreds
of people showing up because you did it right in life,
and you were a great dad and a great husband
and a great son, and you sacrifice a lot for
everybody else in your life except yourself. And that's what
these guys and gals do every single day on the
(24:10):
Sheriff's Department, l A, p D, a lot of the
police agencies, anybody who's serving the public and putting their
life in harm's way every day. They don't do it
for the money. They do it because they're born with
an instinct to protect other people. And thank god, there
are people out there like that still who sacrifice their
(24:32):
lives and their happiness for the safety of others. And
so William Osborne great guy, and I hope his family
can somehow have you know, not a horrible, terrible year
with you know, Thanksgiving and all the important dates that
(24:54):
come up when there's an empty seat there. I hope
that they remember, instead of being very sad, remember how
great their father was, and I think they will. They
all looked like they're terrific kids, and it's just a
horrible situation, just horrible. So to the Osborne family, God
(25:16):
bless all of you, and thank you for sharing your
dad and allowing him to get out there and do
what he loved doing, protecting other people. And again, thank
God there are still people out there like this. In
lighter news here, there's some controversy going on with beaches.
(25:40):
People are used to bring just a towel and hang
out on the beach, and then people brought a little umbrella,
and you know, then they would hang out on the beach.
And now people are bringing tents, huge, huge tents. It's
(26:03):
almost like they're moving to the beach. It's almost like
they're building a house out there. And those tents that
they bring out they obscure the view of parents who
are trying to keep an eye on their kids who
are in the water, and so there's a danger factor
to it as well. But people are now bringing way
(26:24):
too much equipment to the beach every day.
Speaker 14 (26:27):
As millions flock to the shore for some solitude in
the sun this summer, some beachgoers are finding that Sandy
Serenity is taking on an overwhelming new look with elaborate
beach setups.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, we're all pigs in this country, you know, we're
all just thinking of ourselves. You'll set up a tent
at the beach.
Speaker 12 (26:46):
When did we start bringing our entire living room to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
That's what people are doing. They're bringing in their house.
It's like got bringing an RV and plant it right
there on the sand.
Speaker 12 (26:54):
When did we start bringing our entire living room to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
That's a great question. When do we start bringing our
whole house to the beach. It used to be a towel.
Speaker 12 (27:01):
When did we start bringing our entire living room to
the beach?
Speaker 14 (27:04):
Colorful cabanas and shades, crowding already crowded shores, inflatables, massive
coolers and camping tents part of the takeover too.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Now all of a sudden, people will come early in
the morning and they'll leave these huge tents and just
go home. And then that's like their reserve space, exactly.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
An arm Everyone's just like on top of each other.
Speaker 14 (27:23):
Complaints over this new era of sand castles splashed across
social media.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Get them things, hang it, y'all.
Speaker 14 (27:31):
And while some are calling the coverings rude, others are
raising safety concerns.
Speaker 12 (27:36):
I can't see my ketlin shoes on the water.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
It blocks them view.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, that's dangerous when you can't see your kids and
they're swimming. They're young and swimming in the water. Instead
of just sitting there on the towel watching the kids,
now you gotta go down there and stand next to them.
Speaker 14 (27:50):
Some beaches in Delaware, New Jersey, and Maryland have decided
to ban oversized coverings in an effort to enhance safety,
improve visibility, and ensure a more enjoyable experience for all beachgoers.
According to officials in Ocean City, Maryland.
Speaker 13 (28:04):
Where one deluxe cabana away from a full blown ha meeting.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
On the shore, that's right, that's a funny line. We're
very close to HOA meetings on the shore. That's funny from.
Speaker 13 (28:16):
A full blown HOA meeting on the shore.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
That's great.
Speaker 14 (28:19):
Stephanie Carls is a retail expert.
Speaker 13 (28:22):
In a summer where everything costs more, beach cabanas have
then become a way for families to create that comfort.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
They're carving out their.
Speaker 13 (28:31):
Own space and making the most of a day that
they've already spent a lot, even just to get there.
Speaker 14 (28:38):
And those big setups can come with big benefits, like
guards pointing out multiple anchor points are typically more secure
than umbrellas, and many hail the covering says important defenses
against the sun, especially when it comes to protecting seniors
and young kids.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, I understand that bringing. I do understand bringing umbrella
to keep the sun off you. I think that's perfectly
legitimate thing to bring. But an entire three bedroom tent.
Speaker 14 (29:03):
Shabuomi reporting a recent surgeon demand for its colorful sheaths,
selling more than one hundred thousand annually.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wow, if you need to stay out of the sun,
they do serve a great purpose.
Speaker 14 (29:12):
That way, as many agree, there's a mindful way to
do it.
Speaker 12 (29:16):
And I try to kick sleep back from.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Most of the crown, and everybody's kind of in front
of me.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
So I thought it was a good couple of months.
Speaker 15 (29:22):
So emily, other than an all out ban, what's being
done to stop these tents from just taking over.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
The beach completely great question. What do they do when
the beach is littered with nothing but tents?
Speaker 14 (29:32):
So there are different restrictions depending on the beach town.
One new rule in Maryland, for instance, says that you
can't leave canopies unattended before ten am, basically getting at
the fact they don't want people to claim space only
to return later in the day hours later to that
space and their elaborate set up. Another rule in Delaware
says people must set up their tents behind lifeguard stands
(29:54):
so they're not impeding on lifeguard's view of this show show.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
That's a good one. That's another good one. All right,
Singles out there we have Yeah, we got time. Singles
out there are ditching dating apps. What I thought dating
apps where everyone's going for many.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
Summer is a time when love is in the air,
But a rising number.
Speaker 7 (30:12):
Of singles are back to searching for a partner the
old fashioned.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Way, going to a bar or restaurant in person.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
Yeah, in person.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
In fact, the use of dating apps dropped about sixteen
percent last year on the most top ten most popular apps.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Meg Oliver checked out a new event that uses music
to try.
Speaker 16 (30:30):
And spark a little romance Yeah, when it comes to
dating these days, perhaps there's nothing that's making heart sing
more WOA than music.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
It Sounds, the.
Speaker 15 (30:43):
Music events startup group so Far Sounds has witnessed that
firsthand at their new Singles Night events in six cities worldwide,
including London Maybe You'll be Touching Your Life and New
York City.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
Okay, so I'm going to introduce our very first artist tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I wonder why people are ditching dating apps. Maybe because
everybody's lying on them on a dating app. You know,
the pictures sort of been enhanced, their likes and dislikes
are probably not true. What they've done in life probably
has been fudged a little, and then you meet the
person like, ah, this is not the same person on
(31:20):
the dating app.
Speaker 15 (31:21):
They're intimate pop up concerts for young adults.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
So maybe this is it, you know, to get back
into meeting people in person, going out to a concert
or bar or even a grocery store.
Speaker 15 (31:32):
Pop up concerts for young adults looking for love through
a common passion.
Speaker 12 (31:36):
They're a past life.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
There's a store chase.
Speaker 15 (31:42):
Their quick sellouts have been quite the surprised just so
Far as crew lead Alexa Rene, who here is single.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
What's the response been like? Pretty light? According to that
sound bite, she said, who are here? Is single? And
like three people applauded here is single? What's the response nobody?
Speaker 10 (32:04):
The response has been kind of overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I'm overwhelming. Not to me, this is what's the response
been like? That's not overwhelming. That's not an overwhelming response.
That's underwhelming to me, it sounds like the worst response ever.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Kind of overwhelming.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
I mean, I think we started implementing this because we
knew that there was a desire for it, right, But
I think that we've all sort of been shocked by
the excitement that our guests have expressed.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Here are the big go cards they're about to.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
That excitement comes as new research indicate singles are turning
to micro communities like running groups, book clubs, and concerts
to meet people in person.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Okay, not a bad idea. I don't know if it's
gonna work, but it's people are leaving the dating apps,
and again, I think it's because everyone's lying on them
all the time. All right, Dom mo Kelly and As
