Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I Am sixty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. The
Dodgers have swept the Cubs. You may have heard the
the the games early and early this morning on AM
five seventy LA Sports. That is over. They're gonna come back.

(00:20):
I think they are gonna play against the Detroit Tigers next,
but not for a little while. But it's gonna be
a great Dodger season. You know, they're they're really really
packed in that dugout. There's probably you know, fifteen All
stars on the LA Dodgers. So it's a great, great
time to be a Dodger fan. If you're a Dodger
fan out there, I'm a huge one, and I think

(00:43):
it's gonna be a great year. It's gonna be one
of those things that keeps us distracted, you know, from
the fires and the earthquakes and the floods and the
heat and the fact that everybody's broke. It's a nice distraction.
You can sit down, go to the Dodger game, or
you know, take the family or just watch it on
home at home. It's good distraction and it's gonna be

(01:03):
a good year. Good dodgery year, we hope. All right,
Phone addiction with teens. I see it all the time.
Phone addiction teens. Sixty teens use their phone while they're
watching TV.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Screen time.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Let's start this one with a little family guy throwback.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
All right, Oh yeah, I love this family guy throwback.
This is great, This is awesome. I wanted to talk
to you about are you just gonna leave it on
the table? I won't look at it? Great, so I
wanted to you're looking at it? Sorry, work, it's not work.
It'll just take a second.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I normally wouldn't do this, but I was already kind
of in the middle of something and I just need
to quickly respond.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
And there I am. Beh I get just a few
who can relate to Stewie.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well, we're always talking about kids and how addicted to
their phones they are. New study now revealing that teenagers
are actually doubling up on screen times more than you think.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
According to the research.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
From United the USC out in Southern cal sixty percent
of teens or using their phones while they're watching TV
and movies.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
How about that sixty percent of teens while they're watching
TV or movies are also on their phone.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Usc out in southern cal sixty percent of teens are
using their phones while they're watching TV and movies at home.
Another twenty percent of teens are using those phones while
they're in the movie theater, which is where that's a cardinal.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
That's the worst place.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Not sure if that's going to change the trend of
phone use in theaters, but we'll.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Keep an eye, you know. I think, as you know,
as people who are younger, they grew up on phones,
and I'm not sure what the age range to buy
your son or daughter a phone, and how you monitor
it and all that stuff, and how you're careful on
who they're talking to. It's a really big jigsaw puzzle

(02:50):
to put together. And there are no rules. There are
no you know, handbooks that come with it. Every parent
has to make their choices and what they do with
their kids, and you never know if it's a right
one or not. You never know. I had a friend
of mine who I don't want to use his name,
but his young daughter was a mischief maker, you know,

(03:14):
in and out of trouble a little bit. I smelled
like weed too early, you know, thirteen fourteen early to
be smelling like weed. And she had her phone and
she wouldn't give her parents the code to open it.
And I understand that. You know the kids want privacy,

(03:36):
but you also want to protect your kids, and it's
a real difficult situation to look through your daughter or
your son's phone and to find out you know who
they're talking to and what they're doing. You want to
trust them, but they're young, and when you're young, you're dumb.

(03:56):
You're dumb. I was young, I was really I did
a lot of dumb things when I was young. I'm
glad to be alive. I did a lot of stupid
things when I was young. I do a lot of
stupid things now, but I did a lot more stupid
things when I was younger. I'm sure you did, Croze.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
That's the goal as you get through life, fewer and
fewer stupid things you do.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, I remember, And I'm only going to tell you
these stupid things that I did because I'm embarrassed by them,
and hopefully maybe some kids can learn not to do this. Sure,
they're not going to listen, and they don't care, and
they think they can do it better than you. That's
exactly right. However, because we have an hour to fill.
I'm gonna tell you them anyway. I went to a
New Year's party when I was probably I don't know, sixteen,

(04:46):
and it was only three or four blocks from my
dad's house. I was living with my dad at the time,
and I didn't want to drive home because I had
too much a drink. So I get home Saturday night,
wake up Sunday, I don't like at noon, and I
called my buddy Mike, and I said, hey, uh, if

(05:06):
you if you have some time. You know, that was
before texting. I couldn't text anybody. You had to call
and get a hold of somebody. I said, if you
have some time, can you pick me up and take
me up to Jill's house because I left my car
up there last night when you know, because I would
I drank too much. And he's like, buddy, look in

(05:30):
the driveway, and I look out my window in the driveway.
My car is there. I go, I said, thanks, who
drove it home?

Speaker 5 (05:40):
You did.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
What you did. I couldn't believe that I had blacked out.
I had no memory of doing that, no memory at all.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
I don't think I've ever had that happen to me
where I don't remember I black out.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Is that right? Yeah, I don't think I've ever like
not known what I did really, even even like the
minor things.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah, does that mean well, I mean you know any details,
but the alcohol, I could say didn't have any effect
on my memory. If it was small stuff to forget,
I'd forget alcohol or not.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Oh, I see, like you've never woken up in a
motel and you had no idea where you were and
how you got there and a blitz no no, then
you hadn't had enough to drink. Keep going. Yeah, you
drank way too little in your life. But that's you know,
that's a dumb thing that I'm embarrassed by. And hopefully,
you know, somebody will hear that and not do that. Yeah,

(06:33):
I don't know. I don't know. I did a lot
of stupid things. It's not nice.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I can imagine. It's not a good feeling, like you
you did stuff you're completely unaware of.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I was embarrassed by it. Yeah, because that got around
school and I'm like, all of a sudden, you know, hey,
the guy who blacks out from alcohol. And I didn't
really drink that much afterwards because I knew that I
had the potential of blacking out like.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
That, and then you got to worry about people telling
you that you did things, and you don't know if
that's true or not right. They could just be completely
making up exactly that's exactly right. I remember going to
a party and I wasn't involved in this, but I
was there and I may have been able to stop it.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
I don't know. But there was my friend up in Tarzana.
Her parents went out of town, so we all had
a party at her house and it got real rowdy,
really roudy, where all the kids were like throwing the
pool furniture in the pool, and the grandfather came over.
And the grandfather was the real strict guy from polled in.

(07:38):
He didn't speak much English, and he came over and
he got really pissed at all the kids inside the
house because he didn't know that his you know, his
son had left for the weekend and his granddaughter was
having a party. He had no idea, and the house
was filled with people smoking pot and smoking cigarettes and drinking,
and we were all like sixteen or seventeen, and he

(08:00):
got so riled up when he saw everybody. He collapsed
because he had like a heart attack and he was
in the hospital for three weeks after that, and now
he's felt like, man, oh man, you know, we everybody,
you know, the one hundred and fifty kids in that
house contributed to that. Fortunately he made it, but man,
if he didn't make it, ooh boy, that would have

(08:22):
been a tough one. But a lot of stupid things
I imagine. You know, everybody listening right now, if you're
over thirty or forty, you did really stupid things as
a kid, and sometimes those stupid things cost you your
life or your freedom. You know, there's kids that ended
up in prison or jail because they did stupid things.
And it just takes one. It just takes one stupid,

(08:43):
really stupid thing put you in prison or put you
in jail for a long, long ass time. But that
phone addiction. Sixty percent of teens now use their phone
at the movies and while they're watching TV. I don't know.
It seems like a lot. Seems like a lot. I
don't know. But what's the answer. I don't know. I

(09:05):
you know, when did you give a phone to your daughter? Oh? Crows?

Speaker 4 (09:10):
She was right at that age where the phones really
became smartphones, you know, where it was like, you know,
the school time, and then we were in that transition
of should kids have phones in schools?

Speaker 1 (09:22):
And okay?

Speaker 4 (09:23):
And so she probably got hers when they were really
starting to hit their stride as far as popularity. You know,
I think about the average time, maybe thirteen fourteen, So
I think I think my daughter was younger, but she
was younger than your daughter, right, so I think ten roughly,
maybe about the same time.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I think my daughter was in fifth grade when we
got her a phone, and so what is that nine
or ten? Maybe ten? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Yeah, so she's about that much younger than sid. So
they probably got them about the same time, but different ages.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
I had another friend who really was wanting to find
out what his kids were doing, and the kids wouldn't
or change the code all the time, so he made
he made it so he could put his thumb on
it and open their phone. But they they caught onto that,
so they took his thumb print off it, and only

(10:11):
their thumb print could. Yeah, So what he would do
he would take their phone and while his daughter was sleeping,
he'd take her thumb and put it on the phone
to open it up and look through it.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh, I'm sure that trust really went along. Oh my god, yeah,
I mean it destroyed it, you know, that relationship because
she found out that her dad did that. And then,
you know, kids are very good at hiding crap on
their phone. Oh yeah, you know there's a there's a
meaningless calculator app on their phone, like, oh, she just
got a calculator behind that app the whole New world.

(10:43):
That was one of the first arguments to getting a
phone in school. Calculator, right, yeah, these kids who don't
care anything about math all have a calculator on their homepage. Hey,
why do you have a calculator on your homepage? And
you know what, I will say this though, So when
I was out in Malibu, I read an article that

(11:04):
the kids can hear a tone that adults cannot hear,
and I said, well, let me see if my daughter
can hear this. And I played it not and my
daughter didn't know I was playing it, and she heard it,
and she goes, hey, where where's that noise coming from.
I didn't hear it, my sister didn't hear it, but
my daughter clearly heard it. And every time that phone
went off, she could hear it because they can hear tones.

(11:26):
You know that our older ears can't pick up. Yeah,
it's remarkable. She nailed it every single time. We did
it ten times, and I said, tell me when this
phone is going off, and she nailed it every single time.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
I couldn't hear it at all. Is that like when
you walk in the room and you can hear that
there's a TV on? Because I can do that.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, I can do a little of that, that
little electronic hum in your ear. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
I've been in rooms where I said, well, TV's on
here and people say no, they can't hear it.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
So I don't know if I'm like hypersensitive to it
or what. How about this. I walked out of the
bathroom last night at around four point thirty, you know,
got up on take a leak, and I and I
see that my wife is up. I say, like, I
see her eyes open and I and I walk out
of the bathroom and I go, do you hear that?

(12:13):
And she's like, what did you fart again?

Speaker 5 (12:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, no, no, no, I said, did you there's there's like
water running? She was tim, you just flushed the toilet. Okay,
it was you. We don't have that saying in our house.
If it's yellow, let it mellow, so if it's brown,
flush it down. Everything goes down quickly. There's no rules

(12:38):
on our toilets.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from kf
I am sixty.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
We've got some more craziness on a plane. The woman
who cuts my hair. She said she was up in Reno, Nevada,
and they had had canceled her flight home because of
high winds, so she had to stay in a hotel overnight.
Then she gets on the plane the next day and

(13:07):
they cancel it again because of high winds. So third
day she gets on, no wins, everything's cool. She's gonna
get back to where she had to cancel a full
day's worth of appointments. And right before the plane takes off,
a woman comes on the plane and said, uh oh,
you guys are all scumbags on this plane. I can't

(13:29):
believe I'm traveling with such scumbags. And one guy said,
who you call a scumbag? And her name I don't
want to say her name, but she said, she goes, hey,
she goes please, I need to get home whatever it can.
We just calmed down here because if this escalates, the
cops are going to come on board. Someone's going to
be arrested. They might cancel this plane. Just shut up,

(13:50):
sit down, sit out. And the passengers took care of it.
They didn't get the flight attends involved or the captain involved.
They took care of it because they're tired of this
kind of crap on planes. They're tired of it, you know,
they're tired of people misbehaving on airplanes in society. Now.
I understand it when you have a mental condition and

(14:12):
you go berserk and you're out of your skin and
you can't help it. I get that. I have some
sympathy for you. But when you're just an a hole
and going to make one hundred and fifty people delay
their day because you're an idiot, people are tired of that.
They really are. And here's a perfect example of it.
A guy on an airplane, on Delta plane, he's biting people, biting.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
People a bay hug and that's what he bit me.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
A scarred shoulder and a story to tell. Ash Gurney
recalling the moment he was bitten as he helped restrain
an unruly passenger Monday on Delta flight five OHO one
from Atlanta to lax.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Four as into the flood when this happens, So who
are basically coming into land? Alix.

Speaker 7 (14:54):
The aircraft scene here at Gate thirty two successfully landed
shortly before noon, thanks in part to Gurney and others
who stepped in as a male passenger experienced a mental
health episode.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
Was scratching, he was sweating, he wasn't control of himself. Obviously,
this god was like kind of a little bit stronger
than than any of the female fought attendance.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Where where did this plane come from? Yorkshire or you know,
bu London? I thought this plane came from Memphis. He's
called a British action.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
A little bit stronger than than any of the female
fought attendance.

Speaker 6 (15:28):
Yea.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
And it would have been probably sleep for them to
step in because of that point that God had already
hit a woman.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
I don't know if I'm just getting older, but I
can't understand English accents anymore. I know I can't when
I watched TV shows. The guy's got heavy English accent.
I guy, I gotta look at you know, the close
caption part of it is I think it's Australian. Is
it Australian?

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Not even get that right? Even Australian. I can't. That's
more difficult. Yeah, I can understand these cats.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
And it would have been probably sleep for them to
step in because of that point. That god, I'd already
hit a woman.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Oh yeah, you called that a bite and a man
bos them.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
This statement from the TSA saying they're aware that a
male individual struck other passengers on board of Delta flight
from Atlanta to lax Los Angeles World Airports Police Department responded, why.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Are they identifying him as a male? Don't there's nothing
that rude to identify a person by looking at them
on what sex they are. I thought we got past that. God,
that seems like so twenty twenty four. You know, to
look at somebody and go, oh, that's a female or
that's a male. God, is that rude? And to gender
somebody like that?

Speaker 5 (16:31):
You know?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
I hear that around here all the time. I think
Krozer said to the other day. I think it was
Kroze that said, you know, what's up, dude. I'm like,
how do you know? I'm a dude? You know, why
do you gender me? You know what's going on with
people nowadays?

Speaker 7 (16:44):
And interviewed multiple witnesses, They eventually transported the disruptive passenger
to a local hospital for medical evaluation. The FAA and
law enforcement are now investigating, with the airline saying quote,
Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Is that right? Is that right?

Speaker 7 (17:02):
Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior, and we'll work
with law enforcement authorities. Even with his bruised purple shoulder,
Gurney sees a silver.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Lining, oh more Australian accent here we go.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
It was just really comforting tonight that people like we
stand up and help, even though Joe.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
It's the latest midair incident making headlines. Earlier this month,
a Southwest flight was delayed after this female passenger stripped
naked before takeoff, and last month his passenger is a
border Frontier flight restrained an unruly passenger after he kicked
seats and broke an interior plexiglass window cover. Oh boy,
and tonight it is still unclear what happened after that.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Don't you look around when you get on a plane
now and you pre identify who the a hole is
going to be, Like, Okay, that guy's potential over there,
that guy's gonna be an a hole. That gal is
going to be a difficult I scout him out. Now
I know where the a holary is coming from. I
never want to be that guy ona plane. I've been
that guy in the plane before. We had our dogs,
dogs head projectile diarrhea on a plane. That was fun.

(18:04):
That was fun.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Have you have you ever been right about the people
that you scoped down?

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. I'm like, yeah, I know,
this guy's gonna get active, this guy's this guy's gonna
let it lose at some point. I was with Steckler
on a flight. I'll come back and tell you that story.
He was the guy he got crazy on a flight.
I'll tell you that story. Come back.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
We just played that audio of a guy on a
flight to lax on Telta Airlines who got crazy, was
biting everybody. And I was with a guy who went
a little nuts on a plane where I was in
Chicago with Doug Steckl And I've talked about this on
the air before, so I'm not telling tales out of
school here. But I used to work with Doug Steckler

(18:53):
on KALIS X we were partners for a long long time.
I've never met a smarter or funnier man in my life.
Very rich, old thinker. And when he would blow up
and yell at people, I am still asked to this
day if that was real or if that was fake.
People ask me all the time when he'd blow up
and get pissed at people, about ninety eight percent of

(19:15):
it was authentic. When he would get crazy on the
on the radio, and nothing's better on radio than a
guy yelling and sincerely yelling at another person. You cannot
shut the radio off. I remember when Frosty Hiding and
Frank had a big, huge battle and Frosty and Frank
almost punched each other in the face. I couldn't shut

(19:37):
the radio off. I was sitting on Melrose near God.
I think it was Beverly near Melrose or Melrose between
Beverly and somewhere on the Normandy. That's where it was.
I remember it was Melrose and Normandy because there was
a bar right there and the name of the bar
back then one for the road was the name of

(20:00):
the bar, one for the road. That doesn't encourage you
never see that anymore. Hey, let me have one more
for the road. Never hear that anymore. It's not the
Dui Diner. Yeah, can you imagine that? I mean in
somebody just saying that nowadays, you know you're in a bar,
you're at the I don't know, a steak place, and
you're at the bar and you go, hey, guys, I'm

(20:21):
gonna get out of here, but one more for the road.
The drinking go God almighty, stand up? You know. My
uncle used to do that. I used to get My
uncle used to go to a place called the Cadillac
in Blenham, Ontario. There's an old rundown, beat up hotel,
slash bar. And he'd walk in and say, hey, give
me what I'm doing a stand up? I mean, you're
not sitting down, you're getting a shot, you're leaving. And

(20:44):
I remember the kid would give him a shot of
vodka or whiskey. Loved whiskey, and he'd give him a
shot and the bartender would say, you want water with that?
And my uncle Tom had the greatest line ever. He said, son,
there's already way too much water in it. That's a
great line. That is a real Irish drunk. That's a

(21:06):
great line. And he also had another great line when
he was talking to you know, he was single for
a long period of time, wonder why, And he would
say to and I don't think this is an original
line of his, but he used it off and he
would say to young young women, I'm not as good
as I once was, but I'm as good once as
I ever was. And I think he stole that from somebody,

(21:29):
but he sort of sold it as his own.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
And that sounds like one of those old timer expressions
that they all used.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, yeah, that's probably him. You know, a couple of
pigs feet for the road and he's out of there.
Hit the beer store on the way home. You know,
in Ontario you still have to go to the beer
store to get beer, yes, and the liquor store to liquor.
You have to make two stops on the way home
from the grocery store. Oh maybe, uh no, Yeah, Oregon
still has a liquor store. You can buy beer in

(21:57):
a regular store, but to buy liquor you got to
go to a state run liquor store. In Maryland's like
that too, is that right? Yea yeah. And then right
across the bridge, or right across the river, the Columbia
River is Washington. You can buy it anywhere. So people
just go across the Washington on the screwt and bite
over there. But remember Doug Steckler and I we were
in Chicago for some kind of station event and in Chicago,

(22:17):
and I think this is still the rule. You can't
get a drink. There's no alcohol sales in Illinois on
a Sunday, Blue Laws. Yeah, I think that's still the rule.
I think it's still the law. Maybe maybe not, but
it was back, you know, twenty five years ago. And
so we but the airport was exempt. You could go
to you could go to the airport and get yourself

(22:37):
whatever drink you wanted. And I think bars were exempt.
But the bars that you know, our flight was at
seven am and there are no bars open.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Sundays at the Airport's had a high population of people.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
That weren't flying anywhere. Huge because that back then, you
go to the airport on Sundays, the drink you didn't
need a plane ticket to get buy There was no TSA,
you know, you just walk on the plane. And so
Doug had I don't know, you know, twenty eight drinks
or so, and he loaded up on the plane as well.
So we're landing in Lax and he's like, I gotta

(23:08):
go to the bathroom. I said, ah, Doug, we're two
minutes from landing. I screw you. So he gets up
and the flight tend says, sir, you got to sit down.
We're landing in a minute. And he goes, that's you.
I'm going to the bathroom. And he sat in the
bathroom and landed. Well, that plane landed, he sat in
the bathroom, and then all hell broke loose. You know,

(23:30):
ladies and gentlemen, we've had a difficult time landing here.
Nothing mechanical, but we're gonna have the FBI and the
LAPD come on to chat with one of your fellow passengers.
So it just relaxed. We'll get me on our way.
So and I saw these guys and they pointed out,
you know, twenty three A twenty three B, and they
were coming. My body just gets hot. Oh my god.

(23:50):
I knew it was going to go on. I'm like, Doug,
why did you do that? And they, you know, they
brought us off. We they questioned us for like twenty
twenty five minutes. They finally let us go. I think
one of the guys knew who Steckler was, you know,
listen to the radio, and they finally just let him go.
But that could have been a bad scene. You know,
we could have been on the Donot fly list or
been thrown in jail. Like you said, did that happen today?

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Today, You're done. You're not flying anymore. You land in
a well, plane lands, you're on the toilet and you
openly disobey a flight attendant. You're done. You're not flying anymore.
You're on the greyround. You know, you're trailways. That's how
you get around.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Now you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI Am sixty.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
We've all heard the last week or so about this
young girl, this young lady who was lost probably out
at sea during spring break in the Dominican Republic. It's
a very sad story. The parents have three kids. The
oldest daughter they presumed died in a drowned in the ocean,

(24:57):
and so it's a very sad story. They have two
other younger kids to and it'll the family will never
be the same. The parents will always be kicking themselves
in the ass and letting their kid go to spring break.
You know, it's always a big decision. When they're eighteen, nineteen,
twenty years old. You want to tell them not to
go because you're worried about them, but they're adults and

(25:20):
you want them to have their freedom. And it's a
very difficult situation for a lot of parents because if
you tell your daughter, your son that they can't go,
and all their other friends go and they all have
a great time, the fomo, the fear of being left
out is huge and the kid might resent you as
their parents for a long time after that, and it

(25:43):
makes for a really uncomfortable household when the kids at
home in Sherman Oaks looking at all these pictures on
social media their friends having a great time in the Bahamas,
and while they could afford to have gone, the parents
said no, And it could be a lot of very
quiet dinners at the house. I know that firsthand. So

(26:07):
that's a sad story. We have another story about a
teen paddle boarder who was rescued after sixteen hours, sixteen
hours swept out into the water, sixteen hours on a
paddle board.

Speaker 8 (26:21):
Two teenage paddle boarders are back home after a sixteen
hour ordeal off Florida's Gulf Coast. It started Monday afternoon.
The girls, both sixteen, set out on a single paddle
board from Cedar Keat hours later, they still weren't back.
Authorities then launching a search lasting through the overnight hours.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
Wow kind of put the tides and went into perspective
with it, and it's kind of said, we're gonna go
over here and check it out.

Speaker 8 (26:49):
Three fishermen heard about the search and sprang into action.
It was after eight am yesterday when they spotted something
in the water. Alex saw something on shore and said, hey,
that looks like a And as we pointed the boat
towards the girls, they stood up and started waving at us.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Wow all night on the paddle board, two of them
on one paddle board all night, all night long.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
The men then carrying the girls over their shoulders to safety.
The girls say three times overnight a helicopter flew over
but failed to spot them. Turns out the tide and
pushed them fourteen miles off course. They were cold and
had a few scratches, but were okay.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
They ended up talking a little with me.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
They were in good spirits for a bad situation.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I got kids myself and I would just hope anybody
else would do the same.

Speaker 8 (27:34):
The Aird temperature that night was about forty five degrees.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Oh my god, those kids are lucky to be alive.
And then we have this Peruvian fisherman who was lost
at sea, seven hundred miles off course, and he was
out on his boat. He brought two weeks worth of food.
He was out there for ninety five days, eating fish
and cockroaches. Don't where he found the cockroaches, but he did,

(27:59):
and they finally rescued this man lost at sea for
ninety five days over three months.

Speaker 9 (28:06):
A Hollywood ending for a man lost at sea for
more than three months. Peruvian fisherman Maximo Napa reunited with
his brother after a two week fishing trip turned into
a ninety five day nightmare. Napa saying, I ate roaches, birds, turtles.
I didn't want to die because of my mother.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
What a break for the turtlesnight guys lost at sea.

Speaker 9 (28:28):
Now he's eating you birds, turtles. I didn't want to
die because of my mother. And I have a two
month old granddaughter.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh my god. Ninety five days on.

Speaker 9 (28:38):
De Semner seventh, he set off on a fishing trip
from southern Peru. His boat stocked with two weeks worth
of food, but ten days of stormy weather blew him
off course, His family launching a search, but Peru's maritime
patrols were unable to locate him. It was a fishing
patrol from Ecuador that finally spotted him last week, nearly
seven hundred miles off the coast, badly dehydrated and in

(28:58):
critical condition.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Napa saying God is beautiful.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
What was he saying there, Stephans, you speak a little
bit of Spanish? Right? What is he saying here? And
in critical condition? Any idea? That's hard because he's really upset,
so it's hard to tell what he's saying. I knew,
I know a little bit of Spanish. I think he's saying.
Is it possibly saying the blue pens and the fried chicken?

(29:23):
Is that possible? Am I? Am I wrong? Here? Baby?
Let's say anything now.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
Napa saying God is beautiful. Oh, that's what he said,
God is beautiful. Napa saying God is beautiful. He protected me.
He says he had gone the last fifteen days without eating.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Oh I'm feeling wright Uh, I'm feeling a little better
than I was.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
I can tell you two years ago sailor Timothy Shattuck
was rescued after being lost in the Pacific for more
than two months with his dog Bella.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
He was found nearly twelve hundred miles from land.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
The dog was probably waking of every day going hey,
am I next, Am I next? This is guy gonna
eat me?

Speaker 8 (30:04):
Sasonizing, I sees, I mean yeah, that dog is? It's
someone else.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
What was he talking about? The dog was behaving or
he hate the dog? Sasonizing, she's amazing, Sasonizing, I see,
I mean yeah, that dog is.

Speaker 8 (30:23):
It's someone else.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
And back in twenty fourteen and even more extreme case,
a man was found washed up on Marshall Islands, saying
he'd been lost at sea for thirteen months.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (30:32):
