Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
AM six forty. It's Conway Show. We start with a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Of fires in the Inland Empire. Yeah, they're raging. I
saw some last night as I drove through the area.
A lot of smoke and a lot of rough terrain,
which makes it nearly impossible for guys and gals to
get up there with the shovels. The real tough job
is get up there with a shovel and an axe
(00:32):
and a bottle of water and say, hey, go up
there and wipe that fire out, will you. And those
guys stay up there sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks,
putting those embers out. And there's fires all over the place.
Let's put on Channel four Stefu's share with a Wolf
Fire twenty four hundred acres woo at High.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
School has been set up as an evacuation day banning.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
For those of you who have pets, an animal shelter
is operating. It's on Jacinto off of Grand and Seventh Street,
which is about thirty minutes from where we are now.
The cause of this fire remains under investigation. But right now,
firefighters they're focused, they say, on protecting lives and homes,
which is why they say people need to make sure
that they have everything ready, that they have a plan
(01:14):
in case they are evacuated, because they say the time
to act is right now. We are live in Betting
Christian Gas at as NBC four News.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, according to NBC, firefighters have radically changed their reasoning
for being out there. They're fighting to protect homes and
human lives.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh that's what they've been doing forever.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Sorry, I thought that was a It was sold to
me as a new idea by the reporter, but I
guess that's.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Old school, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So the fires are burning sand Bornandino, and by the way,
we have a huge audience in San Bernardino. We were
rated number one belly. I don't know if you know that.
I know it's really hard to patch yourself on the
back when these fires are aging, but just want a
little Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Sorry, it's odd. It is odd.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It is odd, but I know when this opportunity is
going to come up again. According to La Times for
the number one talk show in the Inland Empire, So
there you Well, here's why, Okay, Here's what it's important
because whenever there's that news going on the Inland Empire,
this is the show that we'll talk about.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Absolutely. I'm not going to ask on those people. We
have Steve Kreeger on right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Steve Kreeger, who is retired fire captain from La County
Fire Department.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Steve, how you bub.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Hey, tim ding Dong ding dong with you?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So when you see these fires, do you want to
get back? You want to throw that yellow coat on
and put that hat on again?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Sort of?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That doesn't sound like that.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I wore out my knees. Oh I see, I just
had a knee replacement. I got another one coming.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Because when you're out there on that hill, you got
usually a forty five pound hose path on your backside,
your gear and water and everything else. So there's a
young man's job. I did.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So so the guys, the guys, and do they they
have I see mostly men walking up the hills with
the shovels.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
There's women doing that too, right?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh? Absolutely, yeah, I told you Krozer. And also on
the like hot Shot Cruise and Ela County Fire Camp Cruise,
there are women.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I told you stept.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Camp thirteen A Infinal Canyon is a female inmate camp.
There's female inmates also firefighters.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Wait, female inmates are fighting fires.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's got to be a Nickelodeon movie or a Disney
movie at some point, right.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
No, And I think they have several throughout the state,
but in Elie County there's a state Inmates Camp Infinal
Canyon up in Malibu.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Do these guys do.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
These guys and gals, these prisoners, do they ever try to,
you know, blend in with the other firemen and they're gone.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
They're It's been a few cases where they walked. They're
all very low minimum security, but they always catch them,
like ninety nine percent of the time. If they walk off,
they find them later, the old safe at home role.
They just know where they where they live, where they
came from, and they go over there and wait for them.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
They're there, all right. So you're saying it's a dumb move.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, it's not the smartest move. And they get time
off their sentence. I'm not if I'm not mistaken. For
every day they work on a camp on a hand crew,
they get an extra day off their sentence. They get
out in half the time, and they do get paid
a little bit of the money, so they get some
money to use in the commissary. So it's and they're
hard working. Plus in La County, those those state inmate
(04:43):
hand crews, they're on duty twenty four to seven. They
have them work, you know, overnight, whereas the paid hand
crews that we have. We have I believed four paid
hand crew camps. Those guys go home at you know,
five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Right, But what about the National Guard? Do they help
you guys out fighting fires?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Usually on very big fires. I haven't seen them for
quite a while, and this something gets really big, then
you get national Guard out there.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Wait, how low has it been since you've seen national
Guard on a fire line?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh it's been years.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay, But this is this is why I ask because
Governor Newsom said he needs four hundred of them back
from La because we're we're we've got huge fires going
on and they're burning out of control.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You're saying that's not true.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I wouldn't say it's not true. I don't know the
situations throughout the state, but I know that they're kind
of the last resort. And also when they depending on
their level of training. Sometimes before they can even go
to a fire, they have to get some additional training.
So what they they'll do is they'll get some trained up.
They've done that with the Marines before also, But they
(05:48):
get them trained and then they don't put them in
the really hot situations. They may just have them working
where the fire has already been knocked down, but they're
doing the cold trail where they cut the fire line
around the area. It's very hard work.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And so where are these fires burning? I know you're
out in that area.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Don't you live in the big the Big Bear Hills
or mountains?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Oh no, no, I live in a Whittier.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I gave you an opportunity to be right in the
middle of everything. You blew it.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No, but I have friends that live up there in
Big Bear in that area. But yeah, and right now
I hadn't I didn't have the TV on earlier, but
I'm watching on that watch Study app.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, I love that watch Study app.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And showing the fire like that wolf fire out there
up toward Banning. That's what got almost twenty five acres.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And so what are there are there? Air assets as
we call it in the business.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yes, they a lot of them are running out of
out of Hemmet, that Hammett Ryan Airfield. That's where a
lot of the state aircraft are running out of. And
then also the big tankers that come from Central California,
they'll fill up over to Sam Berndino International Airport over
off the fifteen. So, I mean it's kind of interesting.
(07:01):
You can go on some of these flight tracker websites
and the apps, then you can see them going in
and loading and coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Right, But I'm looking at the big one here. The
biggest one right now, according to watch Duty is the
one is the Wolf fire at twenty four hundred acres.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, but the thing that that can change in a
hurry because these fires, when there's wind and there's geography,
they can grow exponentially. So you got a fire that
say four hundred acres and an hour later, it's going
to be sixteen hundred because it's burning usually in three directions,
sometimes four directions, so it grows exponentially. And just so
everybody kind of has an idea and I'm sure you
(07:41):
know that because you're such a mathematician, that and six
hundred and forty acres is a square mile, so to
put that in perspective.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Okay, all right, so we're the radio station of We're
the square mile of talk radio.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
That's right, exactly, buddy.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I appreciate you coming on. Please call us if there's
any update on any of these.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Fires, I absolutely will.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
All right, thank you, Steve Kraigor, ex fire captain, retired
fire captain from La County Fire. We have the Lake Fire,
which is up in the hills up near Lake Arrowhead area,
a little northeast northwest of Lake Arrowhead. And then you've
got the I think it's they're called it the Louise
Fire or the ju Uniper juniper uniper juniper fire.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I gotta change that name.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's a little bit west of Paris, not France, but
where you can buy what is it skydiving equipment. Go
out and skydive at Paris.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And then we have the Wolf Fire that's way out
in Banning Beaumont area. It's east of Beaumont, south of Banning,
and I think it's still west.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, it's west of Morongo.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So it is a fire season that's gotten off to
a quick start, and we'll have all of it throughout
the day. We'll keep dipping in and telling you updates
on all these fires.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I drove out to every once in a while, I
like to go out to a walmart that's bigger than
ours and better than ours, and they have them. It's
out in Santa Clarita, so I buzzed out there. I
finally talked my wife into going. She hates going out
there because it's a thirty minute drive to see the
same crap that's at our walmart here. But it's I like,
how big the stories and listening to monks. Nice to
see you above, Hey, it's nice to see you too.
(09:35):
And then I was listening to Chris Merrill on at
six o'clock yesterday. I think it was either going to
the trail or on my way to the track, and
he said and he was saying, you know, gas egg
prices are an all time high, and I'm like, what
is this guy either lying or this guy doesn't read
the newspapers. And then you told me it was a
(09:56):
best of Yeah it was, okay, I guess he fell
ill YESTERDA four months ago.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
My eggs egg price. I was listening to it. My
head was turning. I was like, that's.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Old, that's right, Oh that's okay. That makes me feel better. Else,
it makes me feel better than I en't go on
Twitter and going This guy doesn't know he's talking.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm sure he's used to that, as we all are.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
But but you had a great program. I can't imagine.
You know, you go, you work seven days a week.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I have been. You know.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
They made me take a couple of days off last week,
which was great because I didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It was like, you're working a lot, why don't you
take it? Take a day off?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
And I ended up thinking about you on one of
these days off, really because I didn't go to the track,
but I went at the track to the mall in
Arcadia next to Santa Nita, the beautiful mall.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Scored a beautiful couch. Really, Wait, you bought a couch?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Doesn't want to hear this story again, I know, because
he's already heard it eleven times.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Wait, you bought a Nobody buys couches at mall Macy's.
Oh boo. I didn't even go there to buy a couch.
How much was it you're gonna fall out of your chair.
It's eighteen hundred. It was the original ticket. Nobody pays
full price, right, but the original ticket. It's a better
story this way. It was five grand.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, yeah, it's a Maull couch.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Of course, it's five piece sectional sleeper sofa, a cuttler,
an ottoman.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That sounds good. Eight hundred bucks? Wow?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
How did you get d eight hundred dollars? So tell
me if I'm an idiot here? It was the floor model.
A lot of butts have been on this couch before
I hauled it out of there, but it was so
beautiful and I needed one.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We just weren't there that day looking for it. But
what do you in a free delivery? I had to
pick it up.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh no, right off the floor. I bought it Thursday,
didn't get it till Sunday. It was so much work.
Did have any of the coolers in it?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Or the chargers? No, none of that. I don't like
that electrics. I need seamless seating.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Okay, there's no ning on my I've never ever heard
anyone buying a floor Do you pass up this beautiful?
Even though look, there's probably been a lot of farting
on it. Yeah, yeah, well a lot of Yeah, it
does it smell like them all because the mall has
a smell. It does like pretzels right in tears, Yeah,
pretzels and makeup.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, yeah it does. But we we wiped it down
and it's gorgeous and I'm so happy. But I thought
of you, was like, oh, this is where Uncle t
Bones hangs out. Good for you. What are you working
on now?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Well, look, a couple of things that I want to
hit because you'll probably talk about more as the show
goes on. But one, obviously, the Trump administration has taken
a punch at Los Angeles again, this time in a
form of going a lawsuit against the sanctuary city policy
that was enacted right after he was elected. All Right,
I think people forget that this sanctuary city policy in
Los Angeles is pretty new. It's not even been half
(12:38):
a year. Basically, I didn't know they've had this. I
didn't know that they did it because they knew President
Trump was running on this issue very hard. It was
starting to look like, oh, he's actually got a chance
to go back to the White House. We better be prepared.
So they did this. The Trump administration wants to invalidate it.
They say, this thing is the reason there's violence and
vandalism and at tax on law enforcement, that they are
getting in our way and they are preventing us from
(13:00):
being able to do our job.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But the sanctuary city policies, whether it's city, county, or state,
are all just I hate to say this, big lives.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
They don't trump federal law. So what are they good for.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
There's a high level of symbolism in being a sanctuary city.
This is you just just sorting your very high level exactly,
these are our values here in this city and that
you are welcome here, we will do our best to
protect you. There are some legal components to it. The
local resources in the local government are prohibited in most
cases from being used in federal immigration enforcement. That means,
(13:41):
for example, and the LAPD has had this policy for
a long time. But just as an example, the LAPD
is not going to ask you for your papers, right,
you know, but if a federal agent comes and ask
you for it, there's really nothing that mayor bas or
an LAPD officer can do. That's why you're seeing a
lot of criticism towards the LAPD and mayor Bass. That
may not actually be fair from some activists who want
(14:03):
to see more because they cannot stop this federal immigration enforcement.
But when you see LAPD surrounding the enforcement to keep
protesters at bay, that seems to fly in the face
of sanctuary city status to some activists observance. But that
does not necessarily mean that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But that works against LAPD because LAPD is they have
their hands tied by the mayor and this sanctuary city,
and then when they show up to one of these
ICE events, then they are perceived as helping ICE. That's
exactly the conundrum that they find themselves any right, so
they lose both ways.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Right now.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Look, the LAPD has had a basically a sanctuary policy
in a lot of ways since the late seventies. This
predates my birth. This is long before Mayor Bass took office,
so that the LAPD does not mess around really with immigration.
But they were in the early stages of these immigration
and efforts that we were starting to see here in
Los Angeles, kind of late to responding to some of
(15:04):
the crowds that were bustling down there, and you saw.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
They dispute that. But I think you're right, well.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
They do dispute that, but the White House has criticized
them for it. I've been on the scene of some
of these and thought, where where are they? I love
the fact that they disputed, and you're there going na
na well, because again, this is where it kind of
gets murky for people who support sanctuary city status, because
you don't want the police to block the protesters if
(15:31):
you're you know, if you want to get in the
face of the federal agents. But the laped is there
to keep the peace, regardless of what you think about
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And there were.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Times where I thought the piece is gone, who's going
to keep it or bring it back? And you know,
you're looking around thinking what who's in charge here? And
that policy obviously shifted very quickly after the first few
days of protests and unrask.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You know what I noticed about watching a lot of
riot footage in downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I can pick it.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I can pick out with one hundred certainty which of
the rock throwers had their dad around throwing a ball
with them when they were younger. You think it's a
daddy issue. No, No, it's if you had a good
parent at home. It's the good form of throwing. It's
not a discipe thing. It's technique.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It is technique. It's totally technique.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
If you've had a dad at home who threw the
ball around with you, you look like you can throw.
If dad wasn't around, You're like, wow, is this guy
throwing this offhand?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
You?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
How do you think I would throw a ball to
you if we went out in the yard, right? I
think I think you. I think you are.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I think you don't want people to know that you're
a good thrower, but you are. I got a bit
of a side arm. Yeah, I think you do. You
probably played a high school or junior high ball or no.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I was more of a videographer in uh in high school,
I filmed all the basketball games.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
But you can't be from Kentucky without I can shoot
without having it. I can shoot basketball or base I
can shoot a little bit.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I can throw a ball, and I can I remember
several months ago that there was a football on this
desk and you pointed at and you said, monks, can
you tell me what this is?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I didn't know at that point you were from Kentucky. Oh,
I see, because when you're Kentucky. You've got a basketball,
a football, or a cigarette in your and especially a
football or a basketball, and especially basketball. I mean University
of Kentucky. But I mean when you were growing up,
was a was a powerhouse. Still is, yeah, but I
mean they dominated absolutely, and in.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Football not so much. Louisll's better at foot.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Ohio was better with football absolutely, Ohio State, Michigan State.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You had to go north.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Kentucky's been an sec bottom dweller in football and then
and then we dominate in baseball. You know, USC and UCLA,
some of the West Coast schools. But in hockey it's
all Midwest and Boston. It's all you know, Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and North Dakota. That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mini
at Minnesota. They all come out of the other. We
all have our.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Things that were good at and it's nice. It's parody, Bunnie.
I appreciate you coming on every seven, seven, seven to nine.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Do a special replay on Sunday at too as well,
so you get at double dose of months on the
weekend thanks to your boosterism.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's fantastic, buddy. All right, So Saturday at seven, Sunday
at two. You got it all right? You got monk.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Belly, y'all is sitting at the murder desk.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh Hamfi has a murder desk where we check in
with all the people have stepped off the curb. What
do you say? What do you know about this guy
in in? Was it Washington or Idaho?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Idaho it was.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Brian Coberger has agreed to plead guilty to all counts
in the killings of for University of Idaho studarts, God,
sparing him from the death penalty, according to a letter
that was sent to victims family members informing them of
the plea deal.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Okay, so he did it.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
If he's pleading it, right.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
He's guilt. Yeah, Yeah, he's pleading guilty. He did it.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And so the whole you know, all the evidence that's
been gathered, all the testimony from neighbors, from that young
lady who went through all that video to find that car,
remember that story.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Yeah, she worked at the gas station, and so she's
what really led them to finding his car because she
on her overnight shift, went through all the surveillance video
and found a white car speeding by at the time
that they estimated that the murders took place, and that
helped lead them to finding the car.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And then I think matt is matt with us today. Mattie,
you followed this case pretty carefully, didn't you decently?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Decently? But you and I were fascinated.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I remember on his drive home, his dad came to
pick him up and then drove to Pennsylvania. And while
they were driving across country, I think they got pulled
over like nine hundred times.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
They got pulled over a few times, like five times. Yeah,
But what do you think that was.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You think the cops were watching him or you think
he was just heavy with the pedal.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I think it was a combo. I think they were
monitoring where he was going. Perhaps.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, I can't imagine that conversation, especially after the first
pull over, oh man. Unbelievable. And is at that point
the dad doesn't know that his son's a murderer.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
No, And he was stopped twice in the matter of
minutes in Indiana while driving from Washington State University to
his parents' home in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Wow, man, oh Man, I've been pulled over in Pennsylvania
before I was driving a red Pulsar with.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Te with Pulsar, sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
With Tea Tops, and it was a red Pulsar Tea
Tops with a California license plate. And nothing said I'm
moving cocaine more than that car. I got pulled over
all the time in the Midwest, and everything was taken
out of the car. Everything, suitcases, shoes, glove compartment, everything
was gone through. It took me like forty five minutes
(20:53):
to pack it all back in the car because they
don't pack it back in there for you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
And then they're gone.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Christ I got to put the spare tire back in
and meanwhile I'm the turnpike and trucks are going ninety
miles an hour past me.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
All right, let's find out this guy did it.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
He killed those students up in Idaho and Washington area.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
This guy chens to killing college students in Idaho has
agreed to plead guilty to all counts. This is according
to a letter sent to the victims family members. Ryan
Coberger will be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences. He
will also waive all rights to appeal. Coburger is accused
of killing four people back in twenty twenty two. Again,
(21:39):
he has agreed to plead guilty to all accounts per
the victims' family members. His next hearing is set for
this Wednesday to change his plea.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That's amazing, and so he's never going to see the
light of day. He will never ever experience a free
moment again in his life. And is he young kid too?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Isn't he his twenties? I think he's twenty five.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Let me look all right, I think he's in his twenties,
and just I don't know what the hell got into
him by twenty eight, Okay, so when it happened, he
was twenty five, twenty six, twenty five, something like that.
And now that's a wrap on him. So well, we'll
never see from my Colberg again. We're never gonna you know,
(22:20):
he's not gonna be around. He's not going to kill
anybody unless he kills somebody in prison. But that is
a long life he's got in front of him, because
they take pretty good care of you. I think in prison,
I think you can live into your seventies. So he's
looking at maybe fifty years of living behind bars, fifty
years for killing those poor kids. Those kids are just
(22:41):
out having a good time and enjoying themselves, going to school,
doing what they should do, and then this complete a
hole in yeah, bed, it's unbelievable. He's attending college. And
mom and dad thought, well, it's I'm glad these kids
are going to a school that's not in a big city.
They'll be nice and safe out in the you know,
in the country where you know, Washington and Idaho meet
(23:04):
right there where the river is.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And they got wiped out, wiped out.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It can happen everywhere, anywhere, anywhere people are, you can
run into complete a holes. All right, well, welcome back.
We have a great story. Didn't start off grade with
Disney Cruise. Disney Cruises a kid fell off the ship
while they're coming back to I think Fort Lauderdale. They
(23:29):
were coming back from some Caribbean island to Fort Lauderdale
and somehow a child fell off the ship.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
It's a good ending though.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
We're gonna have an update at the top of the
hour on the fires burning out in the Inland Empire.
But first, a great story coming out of the Disney
Cruise line. Usually when a kid falls overboard, I hate
to say.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
It, it's usually a rap.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
And some ships when a guy falls overboard, they don't
even slow down. They you know, if we get drunk
guy is screwing around and he dives off it at night.
By the time they turn that cruise ship around, it'll
probably be twenty five minutes before they can get back
to that spot and then look for him forever.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And it doesn't usually work out.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But when there's kids involved, it's different than a drunk
guy in his thirties who you know, gets into a
fistfight with his mom. It's a little different when kids go. So,
a kid on the Disney cruise ship fell overboard and
from four stories up, and on most ships they'll over
(24:46):
the intercom they'll start saying mob mob, And on Disney
cruise ships they say mister mob. So it doesn't sound
doesn't scare the hell out of the other families and
the kids, but mister mob means man over board on
a cruise ship. And Disney's policy is to jam the engines,
to lock the engines up immediately and as soon as
(25:10):
they can start reversing them to stop that ship. They
also throw inner tubes out there with detectors with lights
on him, with GPS on him, and if it's a
if it's foggy, they'll even throw out smoke bombs where
they can mark the spot where the kid fell over.
So the kid falls into the ocean in the Atlantic,
(25:32):
and the dad jumps off to save his daughter, and
everybody doing the news story said, yeah, and the dad
he jumped off or to save his daughter, and they're like, well,
what else would he have done? You know, I finish
up his bingo card? Was it blackout? People are gonna
(25:53):
win like a mint coat or something. Now, of course
you jump over. Every father would jump over to save
their kid, every single dad, and if you didn't, there's
something wrong with you. So the dad jumps over. The
kids in the water, and they try to stop that
ship as quickly as they could. I think they said
within four and a half minutes they had the ship
(26:16):
stopped and a rescue boat going out there to grab
the kid and the dad.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It's an incredible story.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And they pull the you know, the kid back up
on board and the and the dad backup on board,
and there's a lot of footage of it because everybody
has a camera now, and so There's a ton of
footage online on social media. There's a lot of it
on Facebook, uh, YouTube and TikTok of this entire procedure.
But man, it is incredible that the you know how
(26:47):
Disney has a policy in case this happens to make
sure that those two people are brought back up on
board immediately. It's amazing. Here's some audio from it here, just.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
Terrifying moments on a Disney cruise over the weekend. A
passenger telling us that a young girl fell overboard and
her dad jumped in right after her. We have video
of the rescue. Let's go to that. You can see
crew on a small boat, father and daughter still in
the water. The Disney Dream was returning to Fort Lauderdale
on Sunday after a four night Bahamian cruise. Passengers say
(27:19):
that an emergency code for man overboard went out over
the ship's intercom and the crew immediately went into rescue mode.
A Disney Cruise Line spokesperson saying, in part, the crew
aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the
water and commended crew members for the safe return of
both guests within minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It was incredible it's incredible to watch. You can see
the footage of it. It was a beautiful rescue of
that father and his daughter. But some questions come up, like,
how the hell did that happen? I mean, how the
hell were they putting their kid up on the railing
and take a picture of them. Somebody goofed, Somebody screwed
(27:58):
up because kids, I'm sure those railings are extra tall.
There's a lot of kids on these Disney cruise ships
and I've never heard of this happening on a Disney
cruise ship. Disney's been around for a long time in
the cruise business.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I've never heard of this.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
And also, when you do get the kid back on
board and dad on board.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
The you got to keep an eye on that girl.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I don't know what's going on with her, whether she
climbed up and fell over. Maybe she's one of these
really active young people who's always climbing everything. You got
to keep an eye on her. And that scared the
hell out of the dad. And I imagine the entire
family and everybody who watched this. You know, you watch
the rescue live and I don't know how you do
(28:42):
it without sending your kids to the cabin first. You know,
you got to protect carry protect your kids first, So
you send the kids to the cabin. Then you come
back up and you're gonna need a drink, and then
you watch the rescue that's going on. But it's remarkable.
These cruise ships take all full long time to stop
and turn around, and I don't know how they did
(29:03):
that so quickly. I don't know if they were if
they were, you know, full steam ahead or what. But
these some of these cruise ships may take three, four
or five miles to stop and then turn around. But
I don't know how Disney did that with their ship man.
They stopped that sucker on a dime and brought that
family back on board. All right, let's get a quick
update here on the fires burning in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
What's going on out there.
Speaker 10 (29:28):
I can tell you that the Wolffire has settled a bit.
You don't really see a lot of the flames and
smoke that we saw earlier this morning, but you could
definitely hear overhead those helicopters. And that's because CalFire Riverside
Air has been putting on quite the air show for us,
as they have been doing a lot of those water drops,
but thousands of Riverside County residents do remain under evacuation
(29:49):
orders and warnings as CalFire Riverside crews continue to battle
two major wildfires. And as I mentioned, I'm here at
the Wolffire, but take a look at what it looked
like earlier as that they were back those flames here
at the Wolffire.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The wolf fire is out near Banning in that area
of east San Bernardino, well not east, I guess easter
San Brino is Arizona, so western San Bornandino Fixed Wing
Riverside fixed wing aircraft.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
We're making a continuous salt here on the San Jacinto
Mountains where the wolf fire consumed over two thousand acres
of dry brush. Since that wild fire broke out yesterday afternoon. Now,
CalFire Riverside has been utilizing air power to tackle flames
from above in those hard to reach, heavy brush and
steep terrain areas. The fire agency estimates twenty four hundred
acres have burned, with containment now set at thirty percent.
(30:40):
So far, no structures have been impacted by flames, but
evacuation orders are in place, and earlier I spoke to
residents of some lakes. It's a retirement community that is
under those evacuation warnings. By myself, so unpacked, and I've
only been in here a year, so I'm not used
to this.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's why I've come out to the neighbors, because they
all know so much more than I do.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Those evacuation warnings changed to evacuation orders.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
We need them to be ready to go fairly quickly now.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
Meanwhile, the Juniper Fire is burning in the unincorporated area
of Riverside County near Paris. Evacuation orders have been issued
for the area, with several homes threatened. CalFire Riverside crews
are battling the swift moving wildfire being flamed by wind
and that dry vegetation. That fire has burned nearly seven
hundred acres with zero containment.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Now.
Speaker 10 (31:26):
Evacuation and care centers have been set up at each
of those fire locations. The fire that is burning in Juniper,
the care center there is Citrus High School and the
care center.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
To hear that these were the evacuation centers are very
important for people of vout in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 10 (31:42):
Fire that is burning in Juniper, the care center there
is Citrus.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
High School, Citrus High School. Get out there and enjoy yourself.
You know, you can give a nice cot air conditioning.
They'll have food there for you, water, medical aid if
you need it, and.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
The care center here for the wolf fire is set
up at Hemmet High School as well.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Kemmitt High School for the one year banning.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
Hemmitt High School as well. Now, as you can see,
we're not seeing a lot of smoke and flames here
at the Wolffire, but it does continue to burn as
those crews try to build those containments.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
All right, Well, I updates for you all day.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
That's a big story out in the in Riverside and
San Berndino area. We're live on KFI AM six forty
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
AM six forty. It's Conway Show. We start with a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Of fires in the Inland Empire. Yeah, they're raging. I
saw some last night as I drove through the area.
A lot of smoke and a lot of rough terrain,
which makes it nearly impossible for guys and gals to
get up there with the shovels. The real tough job
is get up there with a shovel and an axe
(00:32):
and a bottle of water and say, hey, go up
there and wipe that fire out, will you. And those
guys stay up there sometimes for days, sometimes for weeks,
putting those embers out. And there's fires all over the place.
Let's put on Channel four Stefu's share with a Wolf
Fire twenty four hundred acres woo at High.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
School has been set up as an evacuation day banning.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
For those of you who have pets, an animal shelter
is operating. It's on Jacinto off of Grand and Seventh Street,
which is about thirty minutes from where we are now.
The cause of this fire remains under investigation. But right now,
firefighters they're focused, they say, on protecting lives and homes,
which is why they say people need to make sure
that they have everything ready, that they have a plan
(01:14):
in case they are evacuated, because they say the time
to act is right now. We are live in Betting
Christian Gas at as NBC four News.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, according to NBC, firefighters have radically changed their reasoning
for being out there. They're fighting to protect homes and
human lives.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh that's what they've been doing forever.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Sorry, I thought that was a It was sold to
me as a new idea by the reporter, but I
guess that's.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Old school, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So the fires are burning sand Bornandino, and by the way,
we have a huge audience in San Bernardino. We were
rated number one belly. I don't know if you know that.
I know it's really hard to patch yourself on the
back when these fires are aging, but just want a
little Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Sorry, it's odd. It is odd.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It is odd, but I know when this opportunity is
going to come up again. According to La Times for
the number one talk show in the Inland Empire, So
there you Well, here's why, Okay, Here's what it's important
because whenever there's that news going on the Inland Empire,
this is the show that we'll talk about.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Absolutely. I'm not going to ask on those people. We
have Steve Kreeger on right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Steve Kreeger, who is retired fire captain from La County
Fire Department.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Steve, how you bub.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Hey, tim ding Dong ding dong with you?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So when you see these fires, do you want to
get back? You want to throw that yellow coat on
and put that hat on again?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Sort of?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
That doesn't sound like that.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I wore out my knees. Oh I see, I just
had a knee replacement. I got another one coming.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Because when you're out there on that hill, you got
usually a forty five pound hose path on your backside,
your gear and water and everything else. So there's a
young man's job. I did.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So so the guys, the guys, and do they they
have I see mostly men walking up the hills with
the shovels.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
There's women doing that too, right?
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh? Absolutely, yeah, I told you Krozer. And also on
the like hot Shot Cruise and Ela County Fire Camp Cruise,
there are women.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I told you stept.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Camp thirteen A Infinal Canyon is a female inmate camp.
There's female inmates also firefighters.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Wait, female inmates are fighting fires.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's got to be a Nickelodeon movie or a Disney
movie at some point, right.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
No, And I think they have several throughout the state,
but in Elie County there's a state Inmates Camp Infinal
Canyon up in Malibu.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Do these guys do.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
These guys and gals, these prisoners, do they ever try to,
you know, blend in with the other firemen and they're gone.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
They're It's been a few cases where they walked. They're
all very low minimum security, but they always catch them,
like ninety nine percent of the time. If they walk off,
they find them later, the old safe at home role.
They just know where they where they live, where they
came from, and they go over there and wait for them.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
They're there, all right. So you're saying it's a dumb move.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, it's not the smartest move. And they get time
off their sentence. I'm not if I'm not mistaken. For
every day they work on a camp on a hand crew,
they get an extra day off their sentence. They get
out in half the time, and they do get paid
a little bit of the money, so they get some
money to use in the commissary. So it's and they're
hard working. Plus in La County, those those state inmate
(04:43):
hand crews, they're on duty twenty four to seven. They
have them work, you know, overnight, whereas the paid hand
crews that we have. We have I believed four paid
hand crew camps. Those guys go home at you know,
five o'clock.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Right, But what about the National Guard? Do they help
you guys out fighting fires?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Usually on very big fires. I haven't seen them for
quite a while, and this something gets really big, then
you get national Guard out there.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Wait, how low has it been since you've seen national
Guard on a fire line?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh it's been years.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay, But this is this is why I ask because
Governor Newsom said he needs four hundred of them back
from La because we're we're we've got huge fires going
on and they're burning out of control.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You're saying that's not true.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I wouldn't say it's not true. I don't know the
situations throughout the state, but I know that they're kind
of the last resort. And also when they depending on
their level of training. Sometimes before they can even go
to a fire, they have to get some additional training.
So what they they'll do is they'll get some trained up.
They've done that with the Marines before also, But they
(05:48):
get them trained and then they don't put them in
the really hot situations. They may just have them working
where the fire has already been knocked down, but they're
doing the cold trail where they cut the fire line
around the area. It's very hard work.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And so where are these fires burning? I know you're
out in that area.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Don't you live in the big the Big Bear Hills
or mountains?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Oh no, no, I live in a Whittier.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I gave you an opportunity to be right in the
middle of everything. You blew it.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No, but I have friends that live up there in
Big Bear in that area. But yeah, and right now
I hadn't I didn't have the TV on earlier, but
I'm watching on that watch Study app.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, I love that watch Study app.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
And showing the fire like that wolf fire out there
up toward Banning. That's what got almost twenty five acres.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And so what are there are there? Air assets as
we call it in the business.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yes, they a lot of them are running out of
out of Hemmet, that Hammett Ryan Airfield. That's where a
lot of the state aircraft are running out of. And
then also the big tankers that come from Central California,
they'll fill up over to Sam Berndino International Airport over
off the fifteen. So, I mean it's kind of interesting.
(07:01):
You can go on some of these flight tracker websites
and the apps, then you can see them going in
and loading and coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Right, But I'm looking at the big one here. The
biggest one right now, according to watch Duty is the
one is the Wolf fire at twenty four hundred acres.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, but the thing that that can change in a
hurry because these fires, when there's wind and there's geography,
they can grow exponentially. So you got a fire that
say four hundred acres and an hour later, it's going
to be sixteen hundred because it's burning usually in three directions,
sometimes four directions, so it grows exponentially. And just so
everybody kind of has an idea and I'm sure you
(07:41):
know that because you're such a mathematician, that and six
hundred and forty acres is a square mile, so to
put that in perspective.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Okay, all right, so we're the radio station of We're
the square mile of talk radio.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
That's right, exactly, buddy.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I appreciate you coming on. Please call us if there's
any update on any of these.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Fires, I absolutely will.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
All right, thank you, Steve Kraigor, ex fire captain, retired
fire captain from La County Fire. We have the Lake Fire,
which is up in the hills up near Lake Arrowhead area,
a little northeast northwest of Lake Arrowhead. And then you've
got the I think it's they're called it the Louise
Fire or the ju Uniper juniper uniper juniper fire.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I gotta change that name.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's a little bit west of Paris, not France, but
where you can buy what is it skydiving equipment. Go
out and skydive at Paris.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And then we have the Wolf Fire that's way out
in Banning Beaumont area. It's east of Beaumont, south of Banning,
and I think it's still west.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, it's west of Morongo.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So it is a fire season that's gotten off to
a quick start, and we'll have all of it throughout
the day. We'll keep dipping in and telling you updates
on all these fires.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I drove out to every once in a while, I
like to go out to a walmart that's bigger than
ours and better than ours, and they have them. It's
out in Santa Clarita, so I buzzed out there. I
finally talked my wife into going. She hates going out
there because it's a thirty minute drive to see the
same crap that's at our walmart here. But it's I like,
how big the stories and listening to monks. Nice to
see you above, Hey, it's nice to see you too.
(09:35):
And then I was listening to Chris Merrill on at
six o'clock yesterday. I think it was either going to
the trail or on my way to the track, and
he said and he was saying, you know, gas egg
prices are an all time high, and I'm like, what
is this guy either lying or this guy doesn't read
the newspapers. And then you told me it was a
(09:56):
best of Yeah it was, okay, I guess he fell
ill YESTERDA four months ago.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
My eggs egg price. I was listening to it. My
head was turning. I was like, that's.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Old, that's right, Oh that's okay. That makes me feel better. Else,
it makes me feel better than I en't go on
Twitter and going This guy doesn't know he's talking.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I'm sure he's used to that, as we all are.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
But but you had a great program. I can't imagine.
You know, you go, you work seven days a week.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I have been. You know.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
They made me take a couple of days off last week,
which was great because I didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It was like, you're working a lot, why don't you
take it? Take a day off?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
And I ended up thinking about you on one of
these days off, really because I didn't go to the track,
but I went at the track to the mall in
Arcadia next to Santa Nita, the beautiful mall.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Scored a beautiful couch. Really, Wait, you bought a couch?
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Doesn't want to hear this story again, I know, because
he's already heard it eleven times.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Wait, you bought a Nobody buys couches at mall Macy's.
Oh boo. I didn't even go there to buy a couch.
How much was it you're gonna fall out of your chair.
It's eighteen hundred. It was the original ticket. Nobody pays
full price, right, but the original ticket. It's a better
story this way. It was five grand.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Okay, yeah, it's a Maull couch.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Of course, it's five piece sectional sleeper sofa, a cuttler,
an ottoman.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That sounds good. Eight hundred bucks? Wow?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
How did you get d eight hundred dollars? So tell
me if I'm an idiot here? It was the floor model.
A lot of butts have been on this couch before
I hauled it out of there, but it was so
beautiful and I needed one.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
We just weren't there that day looking for it. But
what do you in a free delivery? I had to
pick it up.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh no, right off the floor. I bought it Thursday,
didn't get it till Sunday. It was so much work.
Did have any of the coolers in it?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Or the chargers? No, none of that. I don't like
that electrics. I need seamless seating.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Okay, there's no ning on my I've never ever heard
anyone buying a floor Do you pass up this beautiful?
Even though look, there's probably been a lot of farting
on it. Yeah, yeah, well a lot of Yeah, it
does it smell like them all because the mall has
a smell. It does like pretzels right in tears, Yeah,
pretzels and makeup.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, yeah it does. But we we wiped it down
and it's gorgeous and I'm so happy. But I thought
of you, was like, oh, this is where Uncle t
Bones hangs out. Good for you. What are you working
on now?
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Well, look, a couple of things that I want to
hit because you'll probably talk about more as the show
goes on. But one, obviously, the Trump administration has taken
a punch at Los Angeles again, this time in a
form of going a lawsuit against the sanctuary city policy
that was enacted right after he was elected. All Right,
I think people forget that this sanctuary city policy in
Los Angeles is pretty new. It's not even been half
(12:38):
a year. Basically, I didn't know they've had this. I
didn't know that they did it because they knew President
Trump was running on this issue very hard. It was
starting to look like, oh, he's actually got a chance
to go back to the White House. We better be prepared.
So they did this. The Trump administration wants to invalidate it.
They say, this thing is the reason there's violence and
vandalism and at tax on law enforcement, that they are
getting in our way and they are preventing us from
(13:00):
being able to do our job.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
But the sanctuary city policies, whether it's city, county, or state,
are all just I hate to say this, big lives.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
They don't trump federal law. So what are they good for.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
There's a high level of symbolism in being a sanctuary city.
This is you just just sorting your very high level exactly,
these are our values here in this city and that
you are welcome here, we will do our best to
protect you. There are some legal components to it. The
local resources in the local government are prohibited in most
cases from being used in federal immigration enforcement. That means,
(13:41):
for example, and the LAPD has had this policy for
a long time. But just as an example, the LAPD
is not going to ask you for your papers, right,
you know, but if a federal agent comes and ask
you for it, there's really nothing that mayor bas or
an LAPD officer can do. That's why you're seeing a
lot of criticism towards the LAPD and mayor Bass. That
may not actually be fair from some activists who want
(14:03):
to see more because they cannot stop this federal immigration enforcement.
But when you see LAPD surrounding the enforcement to keep
protesters at bay, that seems to fly in the face
of sanctuary city status to some activists observance. But that
does not necessarily mean that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
But that works against LAPD because LAPD is they have
their hands tied by the mayor and this sanctuary city,
and then when they show up to one of these
ICE events, then they are perceived as helping ICE. That's
exactly the conundrum that they find themselves any right, so
they lose both ways.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Right now.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Look, the LAPD has had a basically a sanctuary policy
in a lot of ways since the late seventies. This
predates my birth. This is long before Mayor Bass took office,
so that the LAPD does not mess around really with immigration.
But they were in the early stages of these immigration
and efforts that we were starting to see here in
Los Angeles, kind of late to responding to some of
(15:04):
the crowds that were bustling down there, and you saw.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
They dispute that. But I think you're right, well.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
They do dispute that, but the White House has criticized
them for it. I've been on the scene of some
of these and thought, where where are they? I love
the fact that they disputed, and you're there going na
na well, because again, this is where it kind of
gets murky for people who support sanctuary city status, because
you don't want the police to block the protesters if
(15:31):
you're you know, if you want to get in the
face of the federal agents. But the laped is there
to keep the peace, regardless of what you think about
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And there were.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Times where I thought the piece is gone, who's going
to keep it or bring it back? And you know,
you're looking around thinking what who's in charge here? And
that policy obviously shifted very quickly after the first few
days of protests and unrask.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You know what I noticed about watching a lot of
riot footage in downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I can pick it.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I can pick out with one hundred certainty which of
the rock throwers had their dad around throwing a ball
with them when they were younger. You think it's a
daddy issue. No, No, it's if you had a good
parent at home. It's the good form of throwing. It's
not a discipe thing. It's technique.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It is technique. It's totally technique.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
If you've had a dad at home who threw the
ball around with you, you look like you can throw.
If dad wasn't around, You're like, wow, is this guy
throwing this offhand?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
You?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
How do you think I would throw a ball to
you if we went out in the yard, right? I
think I think you. I think you are.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I think you don't want people to know that you're
a good thrower, but you are. I got a bit
of a side arm. Yeah, I think you do. You
probably played a high school or junior high ball or no.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I was more of a videographer in uh in high school,
I filmed all the basketball games.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
But you can't be from Kentucky without I can shoot
without having it. I can shoot basketball or base I
can shoot a little bit.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I can throw a ball, and I can I remember
several months ago that there was a football on this
desk and you pointed at and you said, monks, can
you tell me what this is?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I didn't know at that point you were from Kentucky. Oh,
I see, because when you're Kentucky. You've got a basketball,
a football, or a cigarette in your and especially a
football or a basketball, and especially basketball. I mean University
of Kentucky. But I mean when you were growing up,
was a was a powerhouse. Still is, yeah, but I
mean they dominated absolutely, and in.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Football not so much. Louisll's better at foot.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Ohio was better with football absolutely, Ohio State, Michigan State.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You had to go north.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Kentucky's been an sec bottom dweller in football and then
and then we dominate in baseball. You know, USC and UCLA,
some of the West Coast schools. But in hockey it's
all Midwest and Boston. It's all you know, Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and North Dakota. That's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mini
at Minnesota. They all come out of the other. We
all have our.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Things that were good at and it's nice. It's parody, Bunnie.
I appreciate you coming on every seven, seven, seven to nine.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Do a special replay on Sunday at too as well,
so you get at double dose of months on the
weekend thanks to your boosterism.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That's fantastic, buddy. All right, So Saturday at seven, Sunday
at two. You got it all right? You got monk.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Belly, y'all is sitting at the murder desk.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh Hamfi has a murder desk where we check in
with all the people have stepped off the curb. What
do you say? What do you know about this guy
in in? Was it Washington or Idaho?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Idaho it was.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Brian Coberger has agreed to plead guilty to all counts
in the killings of for University of Idaho studarts, God,
sparing him from the death penalty, according to a letter
that was sent to victims family members informing them of
the plea deal.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Okay, so he did it.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
If he's pleading it, right.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
He's guilt. Yeah, Yeah, he's pleading guilty. He did it.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
And so the whole you know, all the evidence that's
been gathered, all the testimony from neighbors, from that young
lady who went through all that video to find that car,
remember that story.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Yeah, she worked at the gas station, and so she's
what really led them to finding his car because she
on her overnight shift, went through all the surveillance video
and found a white car speeding by at the time
that they estimated that the murders took place, and that
helped lead them to finding the car.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And then I think matt is matt with us today. Mattie,
you followed this case pretty carefully, didn't you decently?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Decently? But you and I were fascinated.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I remember on his drive home, his dad came to
pick him up and then drove to Pennsylvania. And while
they were driving across country, I think they got pulled
over like nine hundred times.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
They got pulled over a few times, like five times. Yeah,
But what do you think that was.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You think the cops were watching him or you think
he was just heavy with the pedal.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I think it was a combo. I think they were
monitoring where he was going. Perhaps.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, I can't imagine that conversation, especially after the first
pull over, oh man. Unbelievable. And is at that point
the dad doesn't know that his son's a murderer.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
No, And he was stopped twice in the matter of
minutes in Indiana while driving from Washington State University to
his parents' home in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Wow, man, oh Man, I've been pulled over in Pennsylvania
before I was driving a red Pulsar with.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Te with Pulsar, sorry.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
With Tea Tops, and it was a red Pulsar Tea
Tops with a California license plate. And nothing said I'm
moving cocaine more than that car. I got pulled over
all the time in the Midwest, and everything was taken
out of the car. Everything, suitcases, shoes, glove compartment, everything
was gone through. It took me like forty five minutes
(20:53):
to pack it all back in the car because they
don't pack it back in there for you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
And then they're gone.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Christ I got to put the spare tire back in
and meanwhile I'm the turnpike and trucks are going ninety
miles an hour past me.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
All right, let's find out this guy did it.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
He killed those students up in Idaho and Washington area.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
This guy chens to killing college students in Idaho has
agreed to plead guilty to all counts. This is according
to a letter sent to the victims family members. Ryan
Coberger will be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences. He
will also waive all rights to appeal. Coburger is accused
of killing four people back in twenty twenty two. Again,
(21:39):
he has agreed to plead guilty to all accounts per
the victims' family members. His next hearing is set for
this Wednesday to change his plea.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That's amazing, and so he's never going to see the
light of day. He will never ever experience a free
moment again in his life. And is he young kid too?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Isn't he his twenties? I think he's twenty five.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Let me look all right, I think he's in his twenties,
and just I don't know what the hell got into
him by twenty eight, Okay, so when it happened, he
was twenty five, twenty six, twenty five, something like that.
And now that's a wrap on him. So well, we'll
never see from my Colberg again. We're never gonna you know,
(22:20):
he's not gonna be around. He's not going to kill
anybody unless he kills somebody in prison. But that is
a long life he's got in front of him, because
they take pretty good care of you. I think in prison,
I think you can live into your seventies. So he's
looking at maybe fifty years of living behind bars, fifty
years for killing those poor kids. Those kids are just
(22:41):
out having a good time and enjoying themselves, going to school,
doing what they should do, and then this complete a
hole in yeah, bed, it's unbelievable. He's attending college. And
mom and dad thought, well, it's I'm glad these kids
are going to a school that's not in a big city.
They'll be nice and safe out in the you know,
in the country where you know, Washington and Idaho meet
(23:04):
right there where the river is.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
And they got wiped out, wiped out.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It can happen everywhere, anywhere, anywhere people are, you can
run into complete a holes. All right, well, welcome back.
We have a great story. Didn't start off grade with
Disney Cruise. Disney Cruises a kid fell off the ship
while they're coming back to I think Fort Lauderdale. They
(23:29):
were coming back from some Caribbean island to Fort Lauderdale
and somehow a child fell off the ship.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
It's a good ending though.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
We're gonna have an update at the top of the
hour on the fires burning out in the Inland Empire.
But first, a great story coming out of the Disney
Cruise line. Usually when a kid falls overboard, I hate
to say.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
It, it's usually a rap.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
And some ships when a guy falls overboard, they don't
even slow down. They you know, if we get drunk
guy is screwing around and he dives off it at night.
By the time they turn that cruise ship around, it'll
probably be twenty five minutes before they can get back
to that spot and then look for him forever.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And it doesn't usually work out.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But when there's kids involved, it's different than a drunk
guy in his thirties who you know, gets into a
fistfight with his mom. It's a little different when kids go. So,
a kid on the Disney cruise ship fell overboard and
from four stories up, and on most ships they'll over
(24:46):
the intercom they'll start saying mob mob, And on Disney
cruise ships they say mister mob. So it doesn't sound
doesn't scare the hell out of the other families and
the kids, but mister mob means man over board on
a cruise ship. And Disney's policy is to jam the engines,
to lock the engines up immediately and as soon as
(25:10):
they can start reversing them to stop that ship. They
also throw inner tubes out there with detectors with lights
on him, with GPS on him, and if it's a
if it's foggy, they'll even throw out smoke bombs where
they can mark the spot where the kid fell over.
So the kid falls into the ocean in the Atlantic,
(25:32):
and the dad jumps off to save his daughter, and
everybody doing the news story said, yeah, and the dad
he jumped off or to save his daughter, and they're like, well,
what else would he have done? You know, I finish
up his bingo card? Was it blackout? People are gonna
(25:53):
win like a mint coat or something. Now, of course
you jump over. Every father would jump over to save
their kid, every single dad, and if you didn't, there's
something wrong with you. So the dad jumps over. The
kids in the water, and they try to stop that
ship as quickly as they could. I think they said
within four and a half minutes they had the ship
(26:16):
stopped and a rescue boat going out there to grab
the kid and the dad.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It's an incredible story.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And they pull the you know, the kid back up
on board and the and the dad backup on board,
and there's a lot of footage of it because everybody
has a camera now, and so There's a ton of
footage online on social media. There's a lot of it
on Facebook, uh, YouTube and TikTok of this entire procedure.
But man, it is incredible that the you know how
(26:47):
Disney has a policy in case this happens to make
sure that those two people are brought back up on
board immediately. It's amazing. Here's some audio from it here, just.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
Terrifying moments on a Disney cruise over the weekend. A
passenger telling us that a young girl fell overboard and
her dad jumped in right after her. We have video
of the rescue. Let's go to that. You can see
crew on a small boat, father and daughter still in
the water. The Disney Dream was returning to Fort Lauderdale
on Sunday after a four night Bahamian cruise. Passengers say
(27:19):
that an emergency code for man overboard went out over
the ship's intercom and the crew immediately went into rescue mode.
A Disney Cruise Line spokesperson saying, in part, the crew
aboard the Disney Dream swiftly rescued two guests from the
water and commended crew members for the safe return of
both guests within minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It was incredible it's incredible to watch. You can see
the footage of it. It was a beautiful rescue of
that father and his daughter. But some questions come up, like,
how the hell did that happen? I mean, how the
hell were they putting their kid up on the railing
and take a picture of them. Somebody goofed, Somebody screwed
(27:58):
up because kids, I'm sure those railings are extra tall.
There's a lot of kids on these Disney cruise ships
and I've never heard of this happening on a Disney
cruise ship. Disney's been around for a long time in
the cruise business.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I've never heard of this.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
And also, when you do get the kid back on
board and dad on board.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
The you got to keep an eye on that girl.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I don't know what's going on with her, whether she
climbed up and fell over. Maybe she's one of these
really active young people who's always climbing everything. You got
to keep an eye on her. And that scared the
hell out of the dad. And I imagine the entire
family and everybody who watched this. You know, you watch
the rescue live and I don't know how you do
(28:42):
it without sending your kids to the cabin first. You know,
you got to protect carry protect your kids first, So
you send the kids to the cabin. Then you come
back up and you're gonna need a drink, and then
you watch the rescue that's going on. But it's remarkable.
These cruise ships take all full long time to stop
and turn around, and I don't know how they did
(29:03):
that so quickly. I don't know if they were if
they were, you know, full steam ahead or what. But
these some of these cruise ships may take three, four
or five miles to stop and then turn around. But
I don't know how Disney did that with their ship man.
They stopped that sucker on a dime and brought that
family back on board. All right, let's get a quick
update here on the fires burning in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
What's going on out there.
Speaker 10 (29:28):
I can tell you that the Wolffire has settled a bit.
You don't really see a lot of the flames and
smoke that we saw earlier this morning, but you could
definitely hear overhead those helicopters. And that's because CalFire Riverside
Air has been putting on quite the air show for us,
as they have been doing a lot of those water drops,
but thousands of Riverside County residents do remain under evacuation
(29:49):
orders and warnings as CalFire Riverside crews continue to battle
two major wildfires. And as I mentioned, I'm here at
the Wolffire, but take a look at what it looked
like earlier as that they were back those flames here
at the Wolffire.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The wolf fire is out near Banning in that area
of east San Bernardino, well not east, I guess easter
San Brino is Arizona, so western San Bornandino Fixed Wing
Riverside fixed wing aircraft.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
We're making a continuous salt here on the San Jacinto
Mountains where the wolf fire consumed over two thousand acres
of dry brush. Since that wild fire broke out yesterday afternoon. Now,
CalFire Riverside has been utilizing air power to tackle flames
from above in those hard to reach, heavy brush and
steep terrain areas. The fire agency estimates twenty four hundred
acres have burned, with containment now set at thirty percent.
(30:40):
So far, no structures have been impacted by flames, but
evacuation orders are in place, and earlier I spoke to
residents of some lakes. It's a retirement community that is
under those evacuation warnings. By myself, so unpacked, and I've
only been in here a year, so I'm not used
to this.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
That's why I've come out to the neighbors, because they
all know so much more than I do.
Speaker 7 (31:00):
Those evacuation warnings changed to evacuation orders.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
We need them to be ready to go fairly quickly now.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
Meanwhile, the Juniper Fire is burning in the unincorporated area
of Riverside County near Paris. Evacuation orders have been issued
for the area, with several homes threatened. CalFire Riverside crews
are battling the swift moving wildfire being flamed by wind
and that dry vegetation. That fire has burned nearly seven
hundred acres with zero containment.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Now.
Speaker 10 (31:26):
Evacuation and care centers have been set up at each
of those fire locations. The fire that is burning in Juniper,
the care center there is Citrus High School and the
care center.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
To hear that these were the evacuation centers are very
important for people of vout in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 10 (31:42):
Fire that is burning in Juniper, the care center there
is Citrus.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
High School, Citrus High School. Get out there and enjoy yourself.
You know, you can give a nice cot air conditioning.
They'll have food there for you, water, medical aid if
you need it, and.
Speaker 10 (31:56):
The care center here for the wolf fire is set
up at Hemmet High School as well.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Kemmitt High School for the one year banning.
Speaker 10 (32:03):
Hemmitt High School as well. Now, as you can see,
we're not seeing a lot of smoke and flames here
at the Wolffire, but it does continue to burn as
those crews try to build those containments.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
All right, Well, I updates for you all day.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
That's a big story out in the in Riverside and
San Berndino area. We're live on KFI AM six forty
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
