If they were sold to a different company, they got
a new recipe, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):

Speaker 1 (00:41):
They call them bugles because they say that's the last
thing you eat, you taste before they play taps.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You're out, You're done.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I was talking to two people at the racetrack yesterday
and they didn't Speakinglish. I didn't speak Spanish, and so
I had this translator thing I was recording. I would
record what they said and then it would translate it
into English. And I thought that was pretty cool. But
something that they they were talking about the radio station.
(01:15):
I could pick that up, but I didn't know what
they said afterwards, and I recorded it and stuck in
my phone and it wouldn't translate it. So maybe they
weren't speaking Spanish. That's possible. Stephus used speak Spanish, right
a little bit. Yeah, if I play this free, we
tell them what Let's see what?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Okay, here it is depends how fast I record it
in Spanish, but they won't translate. It doesn't translate in English,
so maybe it's really broken Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Maybe there could be a lot of slang too. Oh okay, all.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Right, well, and also dump if there's any swear words, okay,
because I don't think we can even swear in Spanish.

I can't, yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, you can,
but we can't yeah yeah. Oh list wait, I can't
swear in another language? No, I guess not really.

Well, who's going to pick up on it? People listening?
Let speak that language?
Speaker 1 (02:09):

Afterwards, he says Conway DNA radio in Guy Feiam say
Ciento squarenta.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Okay, okay, okay, what why do you have to dump that?
I was pretty graphic? Really is it something like I
think he.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
Has a little Yeah, pretty much. It wasn't around it
exactly that way.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Did they use the slang word for something?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Well, I mean basically what you call it, you know,
it's slang. It wasn't like the boot slang for what
you're downstairs? Oh really?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Wait a minute, these two people were talking about my
my wiener.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, get out of here? Sure?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And what was the word that they used? Jesus Well,
I don't know if I had to dump I don't
want to say it. But is it the same like,
is it a slang term for penis?
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Well, yeah, because it's just an easier way to say
it's not like the biographical term for it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But yeah, it's it's Yeah. Is it Is it a
word in and of itself that is dirty.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
It's not necessarily dirty, but because I'm so worried about
getting in trouble that I just well don't want to
take that chance.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Did they What did they say phone you out?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Did they say they wanted to see it, they wanted
to feel it, they wanted what they say.
Speaker 2 (04:03):

Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Most Pinos Pinole radio show, Monster muis grande.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Back to the eighth race. That was pretty funny, though
I didn't expect that. Can I post? Can we posted?
At least? What else did they say afterwards? Well? That's it.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
I don't know what else they said after because I
dumped the bad I don't know what else is left.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But if that's the beginning, I don't know what to expect.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Friendly interactions.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, I mean I thought so.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
They said it in a very like a matter of
fact way, like they weren't insulting you necessarily, but they
were just curious given their thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Here's another part of it. Then, with I erased the
the wiener. Okay, all right, here's the end of it.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
No, no, precero.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
That don't ever, don't ever loan of money. You'll never
pay back.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Get out of here? Are you kidding me? I pay
everybody back.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Everybody gets a taste when I have to borrow money.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Noli, I'll get out of here.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I remember there was a guy. There's a guy named
Mike who worked at San Nita and I. I showed
up and as I was getting out of the car,
I realized I didn't have my wallet with me, like
the first time, the only time I didn't have my
wallet with me, and I have my money in the wallet.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So I asked this guy.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I said, hey, buddy, I said, can you me a
couple hundred bucks, I'll pay you back tomorrow. Just doesn't
draw my wallet with me, and he said tim he goes,
I'm a way of the hospital. My mom's had a
heart attack. And I'm like, oh, okay, I get it,
I get it. You know that's the line that gamblers
use when they don't want to get.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, Burnt. You didn't believe him.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, no, not at all, And no the guy I've
used that before, like, ah, buddy, I'd love to, but
my mom had a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm going off to the hospital. That's pretty extreme.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, but that's that's the typical thing that you say
to somebody you don't want to lend him money because
you think it's a deadbeat.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Because they're not going to argue that, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay, So I get in and I asked, and I
told Chris that the guy who he works with, I go,
this idiot, Mike just told me, you know, he wasn't
gonna lend me money because he's off the hospital because
his mom had a heart attack. I wout a lame excuse.
I've used that one hundred times. And he goes tim
his mom had a heart attack. I'm like, oh, I
feel horrible. I feel horrible. Oh I feel terrible. Well,
what are the odds of that that they you know
(06:54):
that guy actually is mom did have a heart In fact,
the first time I brow to borrow money, it's crazy,
all right.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I don't like the comment. And but what those guys
are liars? Liars?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I tell you I always pay, every everybody gets back,
everybody gets money.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
When I have to borrow some cash.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Uh, you know, they say that's one of the if
you look up gambling addictions and gambling problems One of
the problems that's a red flag is if you borrow
money to gamble with and like what, I've been borrowing
money my whole life to gamble.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's not a problem. The problem is.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
When you jump over the table of blackjack and choke
the dealer out. That's a problem. When you borrow money
from a friend, that's not a problem yet not not yet.
Do you do it often? No, Jen, I'll tell you
I don't do it that often. Oh sorry, I think
I just called you my wife, and then yeah, I know,
I don't do it that often. I mean just when
i'm you know, when I'm busted out. I got no
(07:57):
more room on the ATM, you know, on the borrow
hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But I always pay everybody back. Everybody gets money back everybody.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And I also throw a little taste, you know, if
I borrow a hundred bucks, I'll give the guy back
one hundred and ten or hundred and twenty. So these
uh uh, you know Spanish guys are wrong. Yeah, I
don't know what he's seventies wrong.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Any update on those fires and we will have those
for you immediately.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
There's two or three, actually three.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Fires burning in the area San Bernardino river side and
looks like they've got a pretty good handle on them.
And of course we'll have updates if they explode get bigger,
or if there's any more any more noise and any
more information about containment, we'll have this.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Wory, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
New law is to take effect starting July first, which
is tomorrow, is tomorrow, July first.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
First, second.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, wow, man, we're halfway done with the year. Halfway over.
That's incredible time.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
New laws to tell you about in California taking effect tomorrow,
which will change the way we cancel subscriptions or how
we'll calculate costs for your next vacation results.
Speaker 10 (09:12):
So let's start with canceling your subscriptions. This law will
require companies to actually make canceling memberships as simple as
signing up. Then you've got a law which is focused
on cracking down on retail theft. This will require online
marketplaces to establish a verification process to ensure that sellers
aren't selling stolen merchandise and to notify the police about
(09:32):
potentially stolen items. And then this next law designed to
make nightlife safer. Bars and restaurants will be required to
hand out a drink lid to any customer who asks
for one.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wait, that doesn't happen. Now, you can't buy a lid
for your drink. You have to ask for one.
Speaker 10 (09:47):
The new law is designed to prevent beverage tampering, which
police say is becoming a big problem here in California,
especially in college towns. Safety experts safe.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
People are still doing that where they're putting roofies into drinks.
That's still going on. I mean with you know, with
the level of punishment they can come along with that.
Decades in prison, people are still doing that.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
Safety expert say, drink lids make it more difficult for
someone to slip the drug into another person's drink.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's right, that's what the lid does.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Not concerts, because I know that sometimes they can't have lids, Yeah,
concerts true.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
What about concerts?
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Meantime, California drivers will be paying more for getting.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And then she just said screw it. She because I
don't know, you know, she gave up. They can't have lids.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yeah, concerts true.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I don't know. That's great coming out a reporter I
don't know. I don't know. What year did you last
see lids at concerts? Oh that's a great question. But
I love this reporter. I don't know, I don't know.
That's great, what a great response. I don't know. I
(11:02):
don't know. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Do you think she's saying interesting that she doesn't know
or interesting that she didn't bother to look it up?
Speaker 10 (11:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Interesting Okay, No, she's saying it's an interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Question, interesting question. Didn't look it up? I don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
She threw that at her. What was she supposed to do?
That wasn't part of the.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Make it up? It wants to be factual rox. So, yeah,
she's great. I'll give her a lid.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Meantime, California drivers will be paying more for gas starting
this week.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
Prices of the pump will rise.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Nearly two cents a gallon on July first because of
California's annual gas tax increase.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
You know, my wife told me, she goes, hey, you
got to fill up before July first, Like, oh Christ,
what is it going to nineteen a gallon?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I said, what is it going up? She goes two
cents I could tackle that.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The money rays will go toward building and improving California's
highways and.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Roadways any more than two cents. I was on the
two ten yesterday. Krozier man, I don't know how you
do it every day. That two ten westbound is like
being It's like off roading when you get into the
like the two slow lanes where all the trucks travel.
Oh my god, it's there's there's potholes that are like
four or five inches deep, you know, And the slower
(12:21):
you go, the more you feel it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Now, we got a lot of money to fix all
this crap.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Need more, need more, and one energy industry expert says
those two pennies from the gas tax really do add
up over the course of a year.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
Real The average household consumes about one thousand gallons per
year in California, so a typical household is going to
pay about an extra sixteen dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Tax here in California takes effect. At the same time,
the crisis in the Middle East is raising concerns about
higher gas prices across the nation. Many drivers are nervous
as they get ready to hit the road for the
fourth of July holiday. Wait, many travelers are what many
drivers nervous? Is they nervous about the two cents? Many
(13:03):
drivers are nervous as they get ready to hit the
road for the fourth of July holiday, ticularly with what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You know, I think if your budget is that tight,
maybe you stay home this summer. If the two cents
is going to make you nervous, I think you'll run
into a lot of things that will equally make you
as nervous, like the price of potato chips, hot dogs, meals, hotels, everything,
ticularly with what's.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Gas, I guess he's going.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
To be one of the worst things, So that trickles
down to everything. It really seems unfair that something that
is kind.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Of like our life blood is being taken advantage of.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's going up two cents.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Two cents is a bit a good news.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Two cents a gallon.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
There's a bit a good news.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Four drivers ahead of the fourth of July holiday, Triple
A reports California gas prices are twenty cents a gallon
lower than they were at this point last year.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, but what were all these people, the nervous people
with the gas let me go back kick with what's.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 12 (14:05):
Gas, I guess he's gonna be one of the worst things,
so that trickles down to everything.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It really it's going up two cents, but gas went
down twenty so you're saving eighteen cents. Don't get nervous.
Don't get nervous if you don't want to be with
somebody who's nervous over a two cents price hike, because
that's just the beginning of nervousness, and you don't want
to travel with them, Leave them home.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It should be a show of hands. Anyone in this
car nervous about the gas going up by two cents,
you and you get out out. You're not going on
the trip.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Forty fourth of July is coming up. It's this Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you believe that the official real start of summer
is this Friday? And I can't believe it. Seems like
those fires on January seventh were a couple weeks ago.
It's crazy, it's unbelievable. Our crime is not slowing down.
Seven more stores looted and street takeovers.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It's just a mess out there. They cannot get a
handle on this crap.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
Waiting for an update. We just spoke to the Sheriff's department.
They're going to put out an update in the next
couple of minutes, we hope. But this is the Tea
Mobile one of the stores that was looted here, and
you can see what they did. It's fixed now, but
they smashed the window here, they went inside, they stole
merchandise off the floor, jumped over the counter, and then
stole thousands of dollars in merchandise. So far, there's been
no arrests as deputies continue to track down those who
(15:39):
are responsible for ripping off four stores here in this
lake with shopping.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Plaza far four lake. What's a beautiful area lake, What's
a great area? And four stores completely wiped out in this.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
Lake with shopping plaza following.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's near Long Beach for you geography.
Speaker 13 (15:54):
Nuts out there in this lake with shopping plaza following
those overnight street takeovers. Now you're looking at the security
video from inside this T mobile. This is at Paramount
and Dilamo. The owner was celebrating his birthday when he
got the call the thieves.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
They smashed the front door, as I.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Said, on his birthday. They hosed him on.
Speaker 13 (16:11):
His birthday, got away, he says, with ten thousand dollars
in merchandise, and all seven business is burglarized between Lakewood
and Bellflower, including this ampm along Artesia Boulevard. You can
see the merchandise just strewn all over the place, and
a store clerk there was treated at the scene for injuries. Now,
two other stores in that store block, Heavenly Beauty Supply
(16:33):
and Star Smog, also broken in. It's all unfolded just
before two am when the Sheriff's department got a call
of a massive street takeover at the intersection of Artesia
and Woodrooff Avenue. That street takeover and the other happening
so quickly.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
To see.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
The kids used to just do the street takeover, do donuts,
you know, drink a little blow, little weed, and go home.
Now they're breaking into stores and takeing everybody's crap for free.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So it is. I don't know how you stop this.
Speaker 13 (17:06):
I don't know to see if they're the same people
who looted the stores. The T mobile owner spoke to
us earlier and again he said he's lost This is.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The guy celebrating his birthday. This t mobile guy.
Speaker 13 (17:17):
He's lost thousands of dollars in phones and other merchandise.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh no, this is the worst. And he's and he's
had that store for quite a while. I think he's
had it in twenty twenty two day they bought it
in twenty twenty two. Bought that store in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I just reut burgerly had Army. Hey Tory.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
This guy's celebrating his birthday and he gets a call
that his store is being robbed. And listen how depressed
he is now. He was just celebrating his the birth
of himself, and now he's wiped out with depression.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I Burger Army, it Y took everything.
Speaker 14 (18:03):
So right now, I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Just trying to see you, bat. I just like to
do if I won't come in again, that's I like
it doing that.
Speaker 13 (18:12):
Yeah, and investigators will be using some of the security
video to try to figure.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Out who these people are.
Speaker 13 (18:18):
Earlier this year, the Only County Board of Supervisors did
increase fines for taking part in street takeovers from five
hundred to one thousand dollars, but that apparently didn't deter
those from taking part last night and back your life
at this T Mobile store. One of the people working
in this store told us, you know what, this really
hurts people that work, works, fit families.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
It hurts livelies and they're really upset.
Speaker 13 (18:39):
And again we're waiting for an update from the Sheriff's
department for the very latest.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
All right, all right, that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Hey, we had a one of the great trainers in
horse racing passed away, d Wayne Lucas. I never I
don't think I ever met him, but I saw him
around a million times. I must have seen him a
million times in my life. But really one of the
legends in the race game.
Speaker 15 (19:01):
This morning, the horse racing community is remembering d Wayne Lucas,
one of the most accomplished trainers in the history of
the sport.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's great. He won the Kentucky Derby four times.
Speaker 15 (19:12):
Has died at the age of eighty nine. In his career,
Lucas won fifteen Triple Crown races, including the Kentucky Derby
four times. Only his good friend Bob Mackert, who won
more Triple Crown victories. A statement from his family read
and part here. Wayne brought grace, heart and grit to
every corner of the sport. His final days were spent
at home in Kentucky, where he chose peace, family and face.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
He will be missed. Indeed.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, he was sick and they offered him, you know,
to slide in the hospital. They'll take care of him.
I don't know whether it's chemotherapy than he need. Anybody
was awfully ill. And he said screw it. He said,
I've done it all. I'm not getting any treatment. I'm
just going to sit at home with my family until
this body gives out.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Not a bad way to.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Go a tip a goal track guy when he's given
that option. Okay, you want to slide into the hospital
so you can knock this out. Not really, I'll just
hang out here at home and I'd rather just be
with family. That is a trip. Typical track guy and
great honor I think goes along with that great honor.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
This portion of the show is being brought to you
by Advanced Hair one day treatment, Life changing results make
your boy mean today at Advanced Here concerts.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Are a hoy this summer.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
It's a lot of great concerts, and the ticket prices
are spiking and dropping for well depending on which show
you go to. Like The Weekend was in town this
past week and some of the tickets were twelve hundred
and if you bought a last minute ticket you could
get in for fifty or sixty bucks.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Just depends.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
The wired ticket prices so high and so low at
the same event.
Speaker 14 (21:04):
Beyonce super fan Matthew Sarafin has seen Queen Bee live
in concert in eight cities.
Speaker 16 (21:09):
Wow, She's like, just give me a little bit of love,
and she's looking looks like she's looking right at me,
and she blows me a kiss.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
She totally did. Yeah, I'd keep an eye on that guy.
In my mind. She did.
Speaker 14 (21:20):
But Sarafin and fellow music lover Alison Santa definitely didn't
feel the love when they went to buy seats to
her Cowboy Carter show on Ticketmaster a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
By the way, where are you, as a grown man
in life where you go to a concert and you
think Beyonce's looking at you? I mean, your parents haven't
straightened that out that the delusion is not a great
thing to brag about when you're in public nobody let
me lay that on you, huh.
Speaker 17 (21:48):
I just jumped on and saw that tickets were eighty
dollars before fees, and I was like, oh, that is
well within budget, So I jumped on it.
Speaker 14 (21:54):
But you looked at those tickets in that same section
A couple of days later on what happened.
Speaker 17 (21:58):
And the price is trip They went up to from
eighty to nearly two hundred.
Speaker 14 (22:03):
Fans accused Ticketmaster of using what's known as dynamic or
surge pricing, raising or dropping prices in real time based
on current demand. The more people want tickets, the more
they'll cost. The surge pricing model. Well, by the way,
that is not new supply and demand. The more people
want tickets, the more they'll cost. Right, you learn that
on your first day of business school. First minute of
(22:27):
business school. First second, as you're walking in to business school,
before you even sit down, by the way, supply and demand.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh you guys know that, okay.
Speaker 14 (22:35):
The surge pricing model is used by a variety of businesses,
including ride shares like Uber and Lyft, which post about
it on their websites.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Everybody uses it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You know, if you're in the service game, you're going
to pay more when the service is being you know,
is being desired by hundreds or thousands or millions of people.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's just common sense.
Speaker 14 (22:56):
When used for ticket sales, it can mean fans who
buy when prices are high have little recourse if they
drop later for similar or even better seats.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah, it's called life. It's just life. It didn't work
out for you that.
Speaker 16 (23:08):
Day, And I feel badly for people who were fourteen
rows behind me in opening night and spent trouble what
I spent.
Speaker 14 (23:14):
Some artists, like Neil Young and The Cures Robert Smith
have objected to artists who they say enable dynamic pricing
in the form of platinum or in demand ticket pricing.
Smith called it a scam. One state representative is proposing
a ban on dynamic pricing.
Speaker 18 (23:28):
We don't want folks to be priced out of a
system that puts, you know, profits over people.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
You know, since I've been a kid, people have been
complaining about ticket prices at concerts. Ever since I could remember,
people always complained about the prices of tickets, and they've
done very little about it, which means that people are
willing to spend, you know, a couple hundred bucks to
go in and be entertained for the night, they just
(23:56):
will find a way to pay for it.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
So we want to make sure that that is a
very as parent at the very beginning.
Speaker 14 (24:01):
Ticket Masters Caitlin Henrich says the company does not use
dynamic pricing, including for the Cowboy Carter tour. She says
fans saw lower price tickets sell out in real time.
Speaker 12 (24:11):
Another thing that commonly gets misperceived as dynamic pricing is
certain ticket to yours selling out. Fans sometimes think that
price has gone up, when in reality, the sold out
prices disappear from view.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So you see what's available, do.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
The face value prices of But that's the same thing
with everything. You know, it costs you more to take
a flight from you know, Lax to New York the
week before Christmas than it does in the middle of February.
It's just supply and demand. I don't know why people
are so shocked by this.
Speaker 14 (24:43):
Tickets for seats change over time.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
Ever they can, just because we don't have you know, algorithms,
changing prices real time doesn't mean prices never change.
Speaker 14 (24:54):
So who decides when the price of a ticket should drop?
Speaker 12 (24:59):
Ultimately, the event org and is going to decide all
pricing and not Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster sets no prices. We are
the marketplace. We don't determine pricing.
Speaker 14 (25:08):
An investigation by a UK based watchdog group recently found
no evidence that Ticketmaster used dynamic pricing to inflate prices
for Oasis' twenty twenty five reunion tour.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Okay, well there it is. It's not going on and
case closed, all right, the fourth of July. What is
that going to cost you? If you have yourself a barbecue, It's.

cheese slightly more affordable this year, having only risen five
percent year over year. But don't worry, y'all. As Paul
Revere once said, the discounts are coming. The discounts are come.

And if we have any more information, we'll pass along too.
And I just had a bag of bugles, you know,
the potato chips. I haven't had those in a while.
Got almighty. It is just a bag of salt. I
don't know what happened. Those weren't that salty when I
was a kid. Something's different, Yeah, something, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
If they were sold to a different company, they got
a new recipe, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I just looked it up.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They call them bugles because they say that's the last
thing you eat, you taste before they play taps.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
You're out, You're done.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I was talking to two people at the racetrack yesterday
and they didn't Speakinglish. I didn't speak Spanish, and so
I had this translator thing I was recording. I would
record what they said and then it would translate it
into English. And I thought that was pretty cool. But
something that they they were talking about the radio station.
(01:15):
I could pick that up, but I didn't know what
they said afterwards, and I recorded it and stuck in
my phone and it wouldn't translate it. So maybe they
weren't speaking Spanish. That's possible. Stephus used speak Spanish, right
a little bit. Yeah, if I play this free, we
tell them what Let's see what?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Okay, here it is depends how fast I record it
in Spanish, but they won't translate. It doesn't translate in English,
so maybe it's really broken Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Maybe there could be a lot of slang too. Oh okay, all.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Right, well, and also dump if there's any swear words, okay,
because I don't think we can even swear in Spanish.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Well, yeah, because i'd bet you cannot. Well you can't, No, no,
I can't, yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, you can,
but we can't yeah yeah. Oh list wait, I can't
swear in another language? No, I guess not really.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Well, who's going to pick up on it? People listening?
Let speak that language?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Oh that's right, okay, all right, here it is all right,
and I got the first part of it.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Let's see what here.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
It is, he says. Conway DNA program radio in m
say Ciento squarenta.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Okay, that's that's Conway and he has a radio show
on k f I A M six fourty. I picked
up on that, and then I didn't want the hell
they said.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Afterwards, he says Conway DNA radio in Guy Feiam say
Ciento squarenta.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Okay, okay, okay, what why do you have to dump that?
I was pretty graphic? Really is it something like I
think he.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
Has a little Yeah, pretty much. It wasn't around it
exactly that way.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Did they use the slang word for something?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Well, I mean basically what you call it, you know,
it's slang. It wasn't like the boot slang for what
you're downstairs? Oh really?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Wait a minute, these two people were talking about my
my wiener.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, get out of here? Sure?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
And what was the word that they used? Jesus Well,
I don't know if I had to dump I don't
want to say it. But is it the same like,
is it a slang term for penis?
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Well, yeah, because it's just an easier way to say
it's not like the biographical term for it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
But yeah, it's it's Yeah. Is it Is it a
word in and of itself that is dirty.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
It's not necessarily dirty, but because I'm so worried about
getting in trouble that I just well don't want to
take that chance.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Did they What did they say phone you out?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Did they say they wanted to see it, they wanted
to feel it, they wanted what they say.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
They had their they had their thoughts on what you're
working with? Really? Yeah, and it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Wasn't how do you say monster, French monster? See what
sounds like a word?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Most Pinos Pinole radio show, Monster muis grande.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Back to the eighth race. That was pretty funny, though
I didn't expect that. Can I post? Can we posted?
At least? What else did they say afterwards? Well? That's it.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
I don't know what else they said after because I
dumped the bad I don't know what else is left.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
But if that's the beginning, I don't know what to expect.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Friendly interactions.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, I mean I thought so.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
They said it in a very like a matter of
fact way, like they weren't insulting you necessarily, but they
were just curious given their thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Here's another part of it. Then, with I erased the
the wiener. Okay, all right, here's the end of it.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
No, no, precero.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
That don't ever, don't ever loan of money. You'll never
pay back.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Get out of here? Are you kidding me? I pay
everybody back.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Everybody gets a taste when I have to borrow money.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Noli, I'll get out of here.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I remember there was a guy. There's a guy named
Mike who worked at San Nita and I. I showed
up and as I was getting out of the car,
I realized I didn't have my wallet with me, like
the first time, the only time I didn't have my
wallet with me, and I have my money in the wallet.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So I asked this guy.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I said, hey, buddy, I said, can you me a
couple hundred bucks, I'll pay you back tomorrow. Just doesn't
draw my wallet with me, and he said tim he goes,
I'm a way of the hospital. My mom's had a
heart attack. And I'm like, oh, okay, I get it,
I get it. You know that's the line that gamblers
use when they don't want to get.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know, Burnt. You didn't believe him.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
No, no, not at all, And no the guy I've
used that before, like, ah, buddy, I'd love to, but
my mom had a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm going off to the hospital. That's pretty extreme.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, but that's that's the typical thing that you say
to somebody you don't want to lend him money because
you think it's a deadbeat.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Because they're not going to argue that, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Okay, So I get in and I asked, and I
told Chris that the guy who he works with, I go,
this idiot, Mike just told me, you know, he wasn't
gonna lend me money because he's off the hospital because
his mom had a heart attack. I wout a lame excuse.
I've used that one hundred times. And he goes tim
his mom had a heart attack. I'm like, oh, I
feel horrible. I feel horrible. Oh I feel terrible. Well,
what are the odds of that that they you know
(06:54):
that guy actually is mom did have a heart In fact,
the first time I brow to borrow money, it's crazy,
all right.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I don't like the comment. And but what those guys
are liars? Liars?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I tell you I always pay, every everybody gets back,
everybody gets money.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
When I have to borrow some cash.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Uh, you know, they say that's one of the if
you look up gambling addictions and gambling problems One of
the problems that's a red flag is if you borrow
money to gamble with and like what, I've been borrowing
money my whole life to gamble.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's not a problem. The problem is.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
When you jump over the table of blackjack and choke
the dealer out. That's a problem. When you borrow money
from a friend, that's not a problem yet not not yet.
Do you do it often? No, Jen, I'll tell you
I don't do it that often. Oh sorry, I think
I just called you my wife, and then yeah, I know,
I don't do it that often. I mean just when
i'm you know, when I'm busted out. I got no
(07:57):
more room on the ATM, you know, on the borrow
hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But I always pay everybody back. Everybody gets money back everybody.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And I also throw a little taste, you know, if
I borrow a hundred bucks, I'll give the guy back
one hundred and ten or hundred and twenty. So these
uh uh, you know Spanish guys are wrong. Yeah, I
don't know what he's seventies wrong.
Speaker 9 (08:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Any update on those fires and we will have those
for you immediately.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
There's two or three, actually three.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Fires burning in the area San Bernardino river side and
looks like they've got a pretty good handle on them.
And of course we'll have updates if they explode get bigger,
or if there's any more any more noise and any
more information about containment, we'll have this.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Wory, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
New law is to take effect starting July first, which
is tomorrow, is tomorrow, July first.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
First, second.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, wow, man, we're halfway done with the year. Halfway over.
That's incredible time.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
New laws to tell you about in California taking effect tomorrow,
which will change the way we cancel subscriptions or how
we'll calculate costs for your next vacation results.
Speaker 10 (09:12):
So let's start with canceling your subscriptions. This law will
require companies to actually make canceling memberships as simple as
signing up. Then you've got a law which is focused
on cracking down on retail theft. This will require online
marketplaces to establish a verification process to ensure that sellers
aren't selling stolen merchandise and to notify the police about
(09:32):
potentially stolen items. And then this next law designed to
make nightlife safer. Bars and restaurants will be required to
hand out a drink lid to any customer who asks
for one.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wait, that doesn't happen. Now, you can't buy a lid
for your drink. You have to ask for one.
Speaker 10 (09:47):
The new law is designed to prevent beverage tampering, which
police say is becoming a big problem here in California,
especially in college towns. Safety experts safe.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
People are still doing that where they're putting roofies into drinks.
That's still going on. I mean with you know, with
the level of punishment they can come along with that.
Decades in prison, people are still doing that.
Speaker 10 (10:12):
Safety expert say, drink lids make it more difficult for
someone to slip the drug into another person's drink.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's right, that's what the lid does.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Not concerts, because I know that sometimes they can't have lids, Yeah,
concerts true.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
What about concerts?
Speaker 8 (10:30):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Meantime, California drivers will be paying more for getting.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And then she just said screw it. She because I
don't know, you know, she gave up. They can't have lids.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yeah, concerts true.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I don't know. That's great coming out a reporter I
don't know. I don't know. What year did you last
see lids at concerts? Oh that's a great question. But
I love this reporter. I don't know, I don't know.
That's great, what a great response. I don't know. I
(11:02):
don't know. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Do you think she's saying interesting that she doesn't know
or interesting that she didn't bother to look it up?
Speaker 10 (11:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Interesting Okay, No, she's saying it's an interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Question, interesting question. Didn't look it up? I don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
She threw that at her. What was she supposed to do?
That wasn't part of the.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Make it up? It wants to be factual rox. So, yeah,
she's great. I'll give her a lid.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Meantime, California drivers will be paying more for gas starting
this week.
Speaker 8 (11:38):
Prices of the pump will rise.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Nearly two cents a gallon on July first because of
California's annual gas tax increase.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
You know, my wife told me, she goes, hey, you
got to fill up before July first, Like, oh Christ,
what is it going to nineteen a gallon?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I said, what is it going up? She goes two
cents I could tackle that.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The money rays will go toward building and improving California's
highways and.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Roadways any more than two cents. I was on the
two ten yesterday. Krozier man, I don't know how you
do it every day. That two ten westbound is like
being It's like off roading when you get into the
like the two slow lanes where all the trucks travel.
Oh my god, it's there's there's potholes that are like
four or five inches deep, you know, And the slower
(12:21):
you go, the more you feel it.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Now, we got a lot of money to fix all
this crap.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Need more, need more, and one energy industry expert says
those two pennies from the gas tax really do add
up over the course of a year.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
Real The average household consumes about one thousand gallons per
year in California, so a typical household is going to
pay about an extra sixteen dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Tax here in California takes effect. At the same time,
the crisis in the Middle East is raising concerns about
higher gas prices across the nation. Many drivers are nervous
as they get ready to hit the road for the
fourth of July holiday. Wait, many travelers are what many
drivers nervous? Is they nervous about the two cents? Many
(13:03):
drivers are nervous as they get ready to hit the
road for the fourth of July holiday, ticularly with what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
You know, I think if your budget is that tight,
maybe you stay home this summer. If the two cents
is going to make you nervous, I think you'll run
into a lot of things that will equally make you
as nervous, like the price of potato chips, hot dogs, meals, hotels, everything,
ticularly with what's.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Gas, I guess he's going.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
To be one of the worst things, So that trickles
down to everything. It really seems unfair that something that
is kind.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
Of like our life blood is being taken advantage of.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's going up two cents.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Two cents is a bit a good news.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Two cents a gallon.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
There's a bit a good news.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Four drivers ahead of the fourth of July holiday, Triple
A reports California gas prices are twenty cents a gallon
lower than they were at this point last year.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, but what were all these people, the nervous people
with the gas let me go back kick with what's.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Going on in the Middle East.
Speaker 12 (14:05):
Gas, I guess he's gonna be one of the worst things,
so that trickles down to everything.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It really it's going up two cents, but gas went
down twenty so you're saving eighteen cents. Don't get nervous.
Don't get nervous if you don't want to be with
somebody who's nervous over a two cents price hike, because
that's just the beginning of nervousness, and you don't want
to travel with them, Leave them home.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
It should be a show of hands. Anyone in this
car nervous about the gas going up by two cents,
you and you get out out. You're not going on
the trip.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Forty fourth of July is coming up. It's this Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you believe that the official real start of summer
is this Friday? And I can't believe it. Seems like
those fires on January seventh were a couple weeks ago.
It's crazy, it's unbelievable. Our crime is not slowing down.
Seven more stores looted and street takeovers.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It's just a mess out there. They cannot get a
handle on this crap.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
Waiting for an update. We just spoke to the Sheriff's department.
They're going to put out an update in the next
couple of minutes, we hope. But this is the Tea
Mobile one of the stores that was looted here, and
you can see what they did. It's fixed now, but
they smashed the window here, they went inside, they stole
merchandise off the floor, jumped over the counter, and then
stole thousands of dollars in merchandise. So far, there's been
no arrests as deputies continue to track down those who
(15:39):
are responsible for ripping off four stores here in this
lake with shopping.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Plaza far four lake. What's a beautiful area lake, What's
a great area? And four stores completely wiped out in this.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
Lake with shopping plaza following.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It's near Long Beach for you geography.
Speaker 13 (15:54):
Nuts out there in this lake with shopping plaza following
those overnight street takeovers. Now you're looking at the security
video from inside this T mobile. This is at Paramount
and Dilamo. The owner was celebrating his birthday when he
got the call the thieves.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
They smashed the front door, as I.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Said, on his birthday. They hosed him on.
Speaker 13 (16:11):
His birthday, got away, he says, with ten thousand dollars
in merchandise, and all seven business is burglarized between Lakewood
and Bellflower, including this ampm along Artesia Boulevard. You can
see the merchandise just strewn all over the place, and
a store clerk there was treated at the scene for injuries. Now,
two other stores in that store block, Heavenly Beauty Supply
(16:33):
and Star Smog, also broken in. It's all unfolded just
before two am when the Sheriff's department got a call
of a massive street takeover at the intersection of Artesia
and Woodrooff Avenue. That street takeover and the other happening
so quickly.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
To see.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
The kids used to just do the street takeover, do donuts,
you know, drink a little blow, little weed, and go home.
Now they're breaking into stores and takeing everybody's crap for free.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So it is. I don't know how you stop this.
Speaker 13 (17:06):
I don't know to see if they're the same people
who looted the stores. The T mobile owner spoke to
us earlier and again he said he's lost This is.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The guy celebrating his birthday. This t mobile guy.
Speaker 13 (17:17):
He's lost thousands of dollars in phones and other merchandise.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Oh no, this is the worst. And he's and he's
had that store for quite a while. I think he's
had it in twenty twenty two day they bought it
in twenty twenty two. Bought that store in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I just reut burgerly had Army. Hey Tory.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
This guy's celebrating his birthday and he gets a call
that his store is being robbed. And listen how depressed
he is now. He was just celebrating his the birth
of himself, and now he's wiped out with depression.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I Burger Army, it Y took everything.
Speaker 14 (18:03):
So right now, I'm.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Just trying to see you, bat. I just like to
do if I won't come in again, that's I like
it doing that.
Speaker 13 (18:12):
Yeah, and investigators will be using some of the security
video to try to figure.
Speaker 8 (18:16):
Out who these people are.
Speaker 13 (18:18):
Earlier this year, the Only County Board of Supervisors did
increase fines for taking part in street takeovers from five
hundred to one thousand dollars, but that apparently didn't deter
those from taking part last night and back your life
at this T Mobile store. One of the people working
in this store told us, you know what, this really
hurts people that work, works, fit families.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
It hurts livelies and they're really upset.
Speaker 13 (18:39):
And again we're waiting for an update from the Sheriff's
department for the very latest.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
All right, all right, that's horrible.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Hey, we had a one of the great trainers in
horse racing passed away, d Wayne Lucas. I never I
don't think I ever met him, but I saw him
around a million times. I must have seen him a
million times in my life. But really one of the
legends in the race game.
Speaker 15 (19:01):
This morning, the horse racing community is remembering d Wayne Lucas,
one of the most accomplished trainers in the history of
the sport.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's great. He won the Kentucky Derby four times.
Speaker 15 (19:12):
Has died at the age of eighty nine. In his career,
Lucas won fifteen Triple Crown races, including the Kentucky Derby
four times. Only his good friend Bob Mackert, who won
more Triple Crown victories. A statement from his family read
and part here. Wayne brought grace, heart and grit to
every corner of the sport. His final days were spent
at home in Kentucky, where he chose peace, family and face.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
He will be missed. Indeed.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, he was sick and they offered him, you know,
to slide in the hospital. They'll take care of him.
I don't know whether it's chemotherapy than he need. Anybody
was awfully ill. And he said screw it. He said,
I've done it all. I'm not getting any treatment. I'm
just going to sit at home with my family until
this body gives out.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Not a bad way to.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Go a tip a goal track guy when he's given
that option. Okay, you want to slide into the hospital
so you can knock this out. Not really, I'll just
hang out here at home and I'd rather just be
with family. That is a trip. Typical track guy and
great honor I think goes along with that great honor.
Speaker 9 (20:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
This portion of the show is being brought to you
by Advanced Hair one day treatment, Life changing results make
your boy mean today at Advanced Here concerts.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Are a hoy this summer.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
It's a lot of great concerts, and the ticket prices
are spiking and dropping for well depending on which show
you go to. Like The Weekend was in town this
past week and some of the tickets were twelve hundred
and if you bought a last minute ticket you could
get in for fifty or sixty bucks.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Just depends.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
The wired ticket prices so high and so low at
the same event.
Speaker 14 (21:04):
Beyonce super fan Matthew Sarafin has seen Queen Bee live
in concert in eight cities.
Speaker 16 (21:09):
Wow, She's like, just give me a little bit of love,
and she's looking looks like she's looking right at me,
and she blows me a kiss.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
She totally did. Yeah, I'd keep an eye on that guy.
In my mind. She did.
Speaker 14 (21:20):
But Sarafin and fellow music lover Alison Santa definitely didn't
feel the love when they went to buy seats to
her Cowboy Carter show on Ticketmaster a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
By the way, where are you, as a grown man
in life where you go to a concert and you
think Beyonce's looking at you? I mean, your parents haven't
straightened that out that the delusion is not a great
thing to brag about when you're in public nobody let
me lay that on you, huh.
Speaker 17 (21:48):
I just jumped on and saw that tickets were eighty
dollars before fees, and I was like, oh, that is
well within budget, So I jumped on it.
Speaker 14 (21:54):
But you looked at those tickets in that same section
A couple of days later on what happened.
Speaker 17 (21:58):
And the price is trip They went up to from
eighty to nearly two hundred.
Speaker 14 (22:03):
Fans accused Ticketmaster of using what's known as dynamic or
surge pricing, raising or dropping prices in real time based
on current demand. The more people want tickets, the more
they'll cost. The surge pricing model. Well, by the way,
that is not new supply and demand. The more people
want tickets, the more they'll cost. Right, you learn that
on your first day of business school. First minute of
(22:27):
business school. First second, as you're walking in to business school,
before you even sit down, by the way, supply and demand.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh you guys know that, okay.
Speaker 14 (22:35):
The surge pricing model is used by a variety of businesses,
including ride shares like Uber and Lyft, which post about
it on their websites.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Everybody uses it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You know, if you're in the service game, you're going
to pay more when the service is being you know,
is being desired by hundreds or thousands or millions of people.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
It's just common sense.
Speaker 14 (22:56):
When used for ticket sales, it can mean fans who
buy when prices are high have little recourse if they
drop later for similar or even better seats.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah, it's called life. It's just life. It didn't work
out for you that.
Speaker 16 (23:08):
Day, And I feel badly for people who were fourteen
rows behind me in opening night and spent trouble what
I spent.
Speaker 14 (23:14):
Some artists, like Neil Young and The Cures Robert Smith
have objected to artists who they say enable dynamic pricing
in the form of platinum or in demand ticket pricing.
Smith called it a scam. One state representative is proposing
a ban on dynamic pricing.
Speaker 18 (23:28):
We don't want folks to be priced out of a
system that puts, you know, profits over people.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
You know, since I've been a kid, people have been
complaining about ticket prices at concerts. Ever since I could remember,
people always complained about the prices of tickets, and they've
done very little about it, which means that people are
willing to spend, you know, a couple hundred bucks to
go in and be entertained for the night, they just
(23:56):
will find a way to pay for it.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
So we want to make sure that that is a
very as parent at the very beginning.
Speaker 14 (24:01):
Ticket Masters Caitlin Henrich says the company does not use
dynamic pricing, including for the Cowboy Carter tour. She says
fans saw lower price tickets sell out in real time.
Speaker 12 (24:11):
Another thing that commonly gets misperceived as dynamic pricing is
certain ticket to yours selling out. Fans sometimes think that
price has gone up, when in reality, the sold out
prices disappear from view.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So you see what's available, do.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
The face value prices of But that's the same thing
with everything. You know, it costs you more to take
a flight from you know, Lax to New York the
week before Christmas than it does in the middle of February.
It's just supply and demand. I don't know why people
are so shocked by this.
Speaker 14 (24:43):
Tickets for seats change over time.
Speaker 12 (24:46):
Ever they can, just because we don't have you know, algorithms,
changing prices real time doesn't mean prices never change.
Speaker 14 (24:54):
So who decides when the price of a ticket should drop?
Speaker 12 (24:59):
Ultimately, the event org and is going to decide all
pricing and not Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster sets no prices. We are
the marketplace. We don't determine pricing.
Speaker 14 (25:08):
An investigation by a UK based watchdog group recently found
no evidence that Ticketmaster used dynamic pricing to inflate prices
for Oasis' twenty twenty five reunion tour.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Okay, well there it is. It's not going on and
case closed, all right, the fourth of July. What is
that going to cost you? If you have yourself a barbecue, It's.
Speaker 18 (25:28):
All about the red, white and barbecue yes weekend and
we're starting with the best part of the Streeks Summer soiree.
The food that news here. Meat prices this year are up,
you guys. Ground beef is up more than sixteen percent
year over year, but chicken prices have only risen two
point four percent in a time well then have chicken
in the same timeframe. The good news is that fixing's

for those sandwiches are down in price. Iceberg lettuce dropped
fifteen percent in prices, while tomatoes are down more than
eight percent. Cheddar cheese prices up six percent, and American
cheese slightly more affordable this year, having only risen five
percent year over year. But don't worry, y'all. As Paul
Revere once said, the discounts are coming. The discounts are come.
I'm pretty sure that's what he said, only did not.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
I'm pretty sure I have that right.
Speaker 17 (26:13):
No.
Speaker 18 (26:13):
