They have to say that my actual name and then
the food and they spelled it correctly too.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Right of the fact that they call you that dumb name.
You know you don't like that name, do you.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Oh, I'm okay with it now I've accepted it. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, you know, originally this one BELLYO named you the Wolf.
I remember, I didn't and that lasted for about an
hour I think about an hour probably, yeah, one segment, yeah,
and then we went to uh oh, my my wife
has a friend named Stephanie and I nicknamed her when
I was buzz one day, Steph, and then you came
in and we gave you that nick name and it stuck.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, well because he couldn't remember my name, so it
morphed into the food.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Right because I didn't know Stefan or Stefan or Steffanie.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, that's happens all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, how do you properly pronounce your name? It's Stepan Stephan. Yeah,
like Jack Stephan exactly. I've gotten that all my life.
We're written the white page. Yeah, but you're feeling good.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I'm feeling much better. It's good. You know.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I was talking to Eric Sklarer, the last you know,
techno producer for you know, John Colebilt, and yeah, my
I kind of got a little stir because I was like,
I can get out of the house, I can arrive now,
I can do stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But the doctor's like, you know, just take it easy.
And sure enough.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I try to do too much with my dad or
my mom. When I start lifting stuff, It's like, oh,
that's why I'm still here, because my wrists would start
hurting at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Now, what kind of car did you end up? Because
your last one was total I believe, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It sure was. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So I ended up getting a Toyota Prius. Oh you did,
I sure did. From a Prius to a Prius, I
sure did. Did you get a newer one?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, a lot newer.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, all the bells and whistles, all the bells and whistles.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So that was nice.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
But you know, I can't complain what year is it?
It's twenty nineteen. Oh it's still used car now. So
when you said you get a new one, but new word?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh Newerah? What was your old one? Oh? Oh nine? Oh?
Is that right? Yeah? Wow, no, wonder you've met.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Right, it was still trucking though. It's hard to keep
on the road, you know. Twenty year car, ten year
old car? Nor not fifteen sixteen year old car you
were driving? Yeah, you have to work every day after work.
And I was doing uber in it too, No way
I was. You were able to do that, and then
you had to lie to Uber about the year of
your car.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
No, I left it by I missed the mark by
like one year. I think the last year you can
do is two thousand and eight. So I was like,
all right, well.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Now when you show up on a two thousand and
nine Prius in twenty twenty five, or people like, wait,
what's going on?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, there's sometimes this happens a couple of times. But
then they get in the car and I keep it
so clean. They're just like, yeah you do, you're a
clean guy.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So they're like, you know, they they come in, they're like,
is this the newer one?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Like, no, it's are you still driving I'm for a
Lyft or Uber?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Not yet.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I'm still getting my bearings, you know, because I'm still
getting used to driving a lot because even this drive
was I haven't done that since the day of.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The accident, right, swearing at people.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, exactly when you do go and drive uber and
lift again? If you do, I mean, you're you've been
on the news, You're a celebrity, you have celebrity status.
So people getting like, oh, this is the guy who
almost killed himself on the freeway. Now he's driving me.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, something else?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I mean, and who knows who I'm going to run
into or if anyone's gonna recognize me, because they recognized me
even before this happened.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So we'll see. Now have people recognized you since the accident?
Not yet, that hasn't happened yet. Okay, you know, we'll
see what happens, you know, moving forward. Well I recognize you, Yeah,
that's true, BELLI, Oh, you recognize them, so people do
recognize me. Yeah, but it's really nice to have you back, buddy.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah. And also I wanted to say I I we were,
you know, kind of just talking about it as my dad.
I was at my dad's house. I've been my dad's
a lot, helping them a lot. But I want to
first of all, give a shout out to once again
Ucla County Harbor Hospital. Oh, they're the best because they
because of them, I actually am still able to use
my arm because the top surgeons there told me that
they were considering amputating them, so that would have been
(05:47):
really bad.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But they worked. I mean they worked there as off.
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Do you think there's anybody listening right now who had
their arm or their leg amputated at UCLA Hospital and
they're like, oh, I wonder if they could have said.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It the wrong way. I certainly hope not. But they
did a really good job and they were all just fantastic.
And who's your lead doctor? What's a lot of fans.
So the lead a person who took care of my
wrist was doctor Martin's. Okay, so she was very I
mean she she knew all this stuff and she was
(06:22):
the one who actually leaked it to us with like
right before posethon that they were about to amputate it.
But they were like, no, we're gonna keep trying and
trying and trying, and they showed us the images. I
kind of looked like the movie arms that they use
when they cut off someone's forearm or hand, and that's
what it looked like when they were trying to put
it back together. So they were really like Frankensteining my
(06:43):
arm because they had to use my skin and all
that stuff. Your dad, I've got to know, No over
last you know, four or five months and he comes
across to me as old school, Oh, very old school.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So was he nervous? Do you got a female doctor? Well,
because that's what old school is.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
That's part of it. But yeah, I want to give
a shout out to that the whole hospital. I mean,
they're all great and a lot of fans of you.
When they found out who some people knew who I
was when they transport me from room to room or
if I had to go into another area of the hospital.
They'd be like, oh yeah, the whoish that's cool. I
lived in the Conway listen. Listen to everyone on KFI,
so you know them. To my parents definitely because and
(07:25):
and my mom because she really she stepped up in
a big way because you know, great moms don't come
a lot, and she she was just fantastic. I mean,
I'm gonna write that down. That's a great saying. Uh yeah,
but I'm not as good as with words, but you know,
she really, but I think that's a shirt.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, moms don't come a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, thought, but she's she's a she was a great
nurse back in the day, so I mean she was
able to take care of me and get me back
to where I am now. And then obviously it was
with my dad a lot. And to you for even
taking the time out of your day to come out
out and see me at the trying to find me
at my place.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It bothered me that the more people not on this
show because we were working, more people in the station,
didn't you know, who didn't have to be here, didn't
go looking for you try to find it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It bothered me.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It really didn't still bothers me today. And also my
dad's favorite story is when you were driving down the
alley and you're like, oh, there's a guy here and
he's looking around. You're like, oh, these guys you know
smoking weed?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, yeah, there's I was driving around porns, isn't
it right? Haw Hawthorn. I'm sorry, Hawthorn.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm driving around Hawthorn and I'm I'm driving down an
alley and I have a flashlight with me and I'm
now I'm walking down the alley and there's guys smoking
weed and I can hear it, and they're playing music
and stuff. And I'm like, have you seen steph Oush.
I know we haven't. Young man, You're lucky to be alive.
(08:49):
Move on, move on. But it really is great to
have you back. And and I I look forward. Are
you going to be coming back slowly? Can be doing
two days a week, three days a week, four days
a week. I want to be back full time.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I just got to get all the technical side stuff,
you know, all the credentials, everything logged in and you know,
kind of see because I know you guys got new
systems and everything.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Guys, we're all, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So updated everything. Yeah, so I gotta get used to
that and then I'll be back in full swing.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You have a great dad and a great mom. I
got a little closer to your dad than your mom
because you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Just that way. But your dad has told me the
greatest stories ever. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, I'm sure he has. He's not afraid to hide that. Yeah,
that's an unbelievable man.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
And also just he liked to tell that story. But
it was funny. At the hospital, I was known as
Iowa for a good week or two, and before they
actually knew my real name. I even went into a
surgery and I could see, oh, who were operating on
what they're doing? And it says Iowa left arm. Wait
because they didn't have your name. Yeah, and for some
reason I don't know. I still don't know what the
(09:52):
protocol is, but they couldn't figure it out. So they
want to say John Doe. So they gave me Iowa.
And then when they found out my name, the main
surgeon of the day was, oh, so you're not Iowa.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Really that went on for a week.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I think you're lucky to have your arm bubb Yeah.
They didn't get the name right. Yeah, right, they can
get that surgery right, but that is right.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So u c l A.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Harbor Hospital. Yeah, they saved your arm. Yeah, they sure did.
That's great.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's a great I mean, look, that's a great p
s A. Or a great commercial for them. You know
that this you know, little hospital. It's not a huge hospital,
I don't think. Yeah, And and they have great uh
you know doctors there that fought tirelessly and the easy
thing to do is to amputate your arm. The tough
thing to do, but the right thing for you is
to save it. That's what they did. They sure did. Yeah,
(10:40):
that's great, buddy. I'm glad you're back. And I hope
you slowed down. Yeah, I'll try to do that.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, okay, all right, Hey, there's a warning out there everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I know you are people out there who don't like
to use straws because they get caught up in turtles
which may have never happened or once maybe once a
turtle eight of straw and now we're all changing our
lives over that.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know, if you ever go to Krozier, how often
do you go to Starbucks? You big Starbucks guy?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Used to go more, don't go very much. Now lately,
I'm with you. I'm with you kind of slowed down.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I gotta say.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
This past weekend, though, I got the seasonal peppermint to
Chocolate dark Chocolate Peppermint lattes and.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Wow, things are phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's wild for your wife for you.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
No, they're good. I got them.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Jen gets miging.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I have my my You know I ordered when I
first went to Starbucks twenty years ago. I got a
Grande mocha frappuccino and no whip cream.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
That's all I've ever ordered from there. I don't think
I ordered anything that has that many words.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Well, I wouldn't. Look, it's not my words. I didn't
invent those words. They did.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I just have to repeat them so I can get
my drink. I'd rather just say a medium coffee or
you know, just a cup of coffee. But they they
changed our vocabulary. But belly O, I know you're a
big Starbucks woman.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Right today, sir?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You did.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, I've got a.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Polar Bear kickpop in the refrigerator right now. Wow, what
a brag that is.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Do you find it offensive that they've taken us all
back to our infant stage where we all have to
use sippy cups?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
No, you don't find that.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
You don't find that odd at all, Or they're making
you speaking French.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
All you have to do is ask for a straw.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If you don't like it, I know, but it comes
with a sippy cup top.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I like those tops. Well yeah, when you were what
four months old? No? I like them? Now you like them? Now?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Does it make you feel like you're a like you're
not really responsible? You know the reason why sippy cups
existed is because kids used to pour milk all over
themselves or juice all over themselves. Yeah, so they put
it in a sippy cup to protect the juice from
flying into their face.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Well, sometimes when you're driving, I need that. So thank
you Starbucks for thinking of me.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Is Angel Martinez with us?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh you know, welcome back, baby bag you nice vacation.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Were you on a cruise? You're around the world cruise?
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Yeah, I was on a round the world cruise on
a speedboat.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Wow. Man, oh man, I envy you. I respect that. Man.
When you take off, if you take the f off, yeah,
that's right, you do it, right you two weeks? Right?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Who does it? Two weeks right before Christmas? Angel Martinez.
Nobody takes the Thanksgiving week off and then kicks them
right in the balls for the next week and takes
that week off too.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's that.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, that is so I absolutely respect that. You know,
like I guess you guys, you think I'm coming back early,
just my ass.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I also heard that over the weekend you're out at
the Huntington Beach Pier.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Yeah, that's right. It went out to the Giving Machine
that has a few slots for the Katerina's Club charities.
You can head out there and select if you want,
you know, to contribute to their their scholarship foundation, or
purchase fresh produce or meals or all kinds of of
(16:53):
of charitable donations towards Katerina's Club where other worthy charities,
and all the proceeds for anything that you donate goes
on to that organization.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I'm surprised nobody's ever done that before, but that's great.
Giving Machine is a tropic idea. All right, welcome back,
Angel Martinez. All right, when we come back.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
But was that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
No, Belly, you were you were here yesterday? Oh no,

That's right, Oh you were here yesterday, absolutely, Man, what
did you do for four hours?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Nothing, I had to introduce the chargers pregame and then
what did you do?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Went home?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Right, Yes, how long were you here for? Really? Seriously?
Four hours?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
What time to over? Four hours? Noon to after four?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But you you did work between noon and for did you?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Okay, we were stories in there, okay, all right, Right,
So there's.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
A warning out about straws and it involves the emergency room. Okay,
so you can't take that lightly. Straws. Everybody uses them,
emergency room. Everybody hates them. But man, when you need
one and you go in and they take care of you,
that's a touchdown. You'll always remember. I can remember almost
(18:07):
every emergency room I've ever been to, beautiful people that
saved me from tremendous pain.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Is what they do in emergency rooms.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
So we come back, straw warning that could end up
in the emergency room, and you'll want to hear this.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Don't blow this off.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Don't go listen to music and forget to come back
and then you're in the emergency room.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It turned on coast with the Christmas music.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, I know, we will play some Christmas music when
we come back, so you don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
If we can, we probably can't, so f it Merry Christmas.

You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Michael Mongs joins us, how you bub I am well
in this warm December day, Hey, before we get into
the tree lighting and this event the what is it
the Herman Holiday Block. Yeah, it's a big mishap that
has taught a city official about the dangers of la
bureaucracy that I thought you would love. I picked it
just for you, all right, before we get into that
(19:10):
you might die because of a glass draw? Are you
a big Starbucks guy?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You know I like a frappuccino.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Okay, I'm saying way, I like a Mocha bronde Mocha frappuccino.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
No whip is my drink. I had one of the
casino on the way out.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Oh that's beautiful. But I am offended by the sippy
cups that they now come in.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I don't mind them. We almost think I like it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I don't know if it's because I like to be infantilized,
I guess so, yeah, what other reason could there be?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I find straw The straws are often too long.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
They do have two size. Yeah, you know, you don't
know which one to pick. It's a lot going on
plus the bigger one is like a pipeline. You know,
It's just it's too much. It's like like a chevron pipeline.
You could absolutely row a boat with it. That's right,
all right, But let's get there, let me do this
and then we'll get into that crazy party.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
A glass straw could kill you, kill you. Glass straw warning.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
People love a glass straw, especially around the holidays. They
look trendy.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Coach ever said that we love a glass straw around
the holidays. I don't even know they existed before that.
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Glass straw warning.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
People love a glass straw, especially around the holidays. They
look trendy and are good for the environment. But this
woman is issuing a warning. She ended up in the
hospital after she says she swallowed a piece of glass
from her straw. She spoke with Alison Hall glass straws
are super popular during the holidays.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Not where I got I mean in the seventies. Maybe
I have never even heard of it. Is it a
glass straw?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now, this woman has a warning. Don't use glass trucks. God,
don't use class trucks. Spring oh no, is that what
she sounded like before? And after don't use glass trucks.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Briann O'Brien ended up in the emergency room after she
says she drank from a glass straw one night.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
I was just chugging the last of my water.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Okay, this is her second run in with the emergency room.
This is the same woman. I remember that name, Brianna
or Brianna last about four years ago, she had a
run in. She used to use a razor straw and
she had a run in with that, and now she
went to glass and had the same problem. Didn't heed
the warning on the razor straw. But I look, I
think this is for wealthy people. I don't think people
(21:26):
who are blue collar are going home and saying, hey,
where's my glass straw? Matt, Well, look what did she
do with it? Because we drink out of glass all
the time. I don't take a bite out of it. Yeah,
it's odd, it is odd. All right, let's get into
why you're here. It's more interesting than the glass straw.
This event was going to include tree lighting by the
mops have gone bad.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You know, all the city officials like to go to
the tree lightings and all their little neighborhoods in their districts,
and Councilman Isabel Herodo is no different and she had
multiple ones over the weekend, including one in Herman Park
also known as Royalty Go Park.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Oh I know what that is, Yeah, Heran Park. They're
in northeast LA.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
So all the people are showing up, they're getting ready
for the big moment to light up the tree, right,
and then they realized they've got a problem. I'm going
to let council Woman Herado explain to you what she
discovered last Saturday.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Despite my team's tireless preparation, we discovered on the day
of the event that the electrical box had been burnt through.
My team immediately jumped into action. We were on the
phone with our city partners for hours and talking to
four different departments who told us despite it being an
LEDWP pole, nobody knew who the electrical box belongs to.
(22:41):
To this day, we still do not know when the
department owns that box, and so everybody was passing the
bucks saying they could have repaired.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's a you know, we've been in here.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We've talked about when you lived in Tarzana and you
needed a tree or something, and they're like, it's a
fifty year wait.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, sidewalk for the sidewalk. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
People who live in Los Angeles know the bureaucracy all
too well. I thought I wanted I would share this
story with you, and our listeners are good because now
you have a city official experiencing first hand what it's
like to find yourself tangled in the web of city
hall bureaucracy. This is a city council member whose office
had been working on this tree lighting, only to find
out when they go to plug in the tree that
(23:21):
the box itself has been completely destroyed. Okay, and then
no department will take responsibility for it. Call the other department. No,
this is the department you want. It's not ours, it's
their problem. And so it makes you wonder did they
learn anything from this. Here's what she says she's learned
about it.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
We're now working with a Bureau of Street Lighting to
figure out what exactly happened and how we can fix
it properly and not just for a few hours. This
points to a bigger issue. It shouldn't take a council
member escalating across the city to get basic city services
delivered and to get the clarity on who's responsible for
an electrical box.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
This kind of.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Systemic dysfunction hurts our communities, especially those that rely on
us boast. So, for me, public safety begins with the
equitable delivery of city services. If people can't trust us
with the small things, how can they trust us with
the big ones?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Now, she could have said that in nineteen sixty eight,
sixty seven, and she would have been twenty years late.
Decade after decade, the city has just been a bit
of a mess. But anybody who lives in the city
proper of Los Angeles, and they may have the same
struggles in whichever smaller city they live in here in
southern California, But LA is notorious for this. Anything you
feel like you need, is the government actually responsive to
(24:39):
that need? Hey need new trash can, Hey there's a
pot holding, Hey there's a burglar in my house?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Right? How quickly do they respond? Not quickly enough? Okay,
I will say this.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'm going to give the DWP and whatever electric department
in LA and La County, LA City a break for
a second. When you have a tree lighting ceremony and
you go out there and you test it the week
before backup generator, Yeah, backup generator just for the night
if you have to, and so things go smoothly, or
(25:12):
have it plugged into a guy, because I'm sure there
are guys in that neighborhood who are electricians and could
come out and fix that box themselves, or have enough
power in their house to light up a Christmas tree
with LED lights. It's very little electricity goes into these
things nowadays. You know what's interesting at this particular event
where there was a councilwoman present who organized this in
her district. Do you know who was playing Santa Claus
(25:33):
at this event? A member of the Board of Public Works. Wow,
And nobody knew what to do. They did apparently get
a temporary fix to light the tree on Saturday night,
but it's been dark ever since and nobody knows what
to do about it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
But what is the endgame here? Is it just? I
think Christmas is canceled for Northeast LA. But will this
continue for twenty or thirty more years? Or will where
will the city react to this?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It requires a certain priority, a prioritization that I never
really see this city council do well, let me ask
you a question. Yeah, yeah, you and your your spouse
and your two cats.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yes, you're looking to buy a house.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
And one house is eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in the city of la That same house is nine
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in Glendale or Burbank or
Culver City with smaller a smaller city, with you know,
with city officials that react to your problems. Do you
buy the more expensive house in a smaller city or
(26:33):
do you roll the dice in the big city.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
How close is it to your house? Very close? Yeah,
I'll be your name, okay, But that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We spent more on a house to live in Burbank
because we knew when we called the cops they show up.
You could use the schools. The school that my daughter
went to is a nine out of ten. Burroughs High
Schools a nine out of ten. She got a great education,
so did her kids. Some of her friends went to
Ivy League schools through that public education through Burroughs, you know,
Harvard and Yale, USC and out here on the West coast.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
And that saved me some money.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
You know, I spent a lot of time scrolling Zillow,
daydreaming about when I'm gonna buy a house, you're gonna
buy always looking at like Hancock Park, windsor Square, love
those old LA houses. But this is the thought that
resonates with me is how much longer can we live
with this dysfunctional government that lacks vision and organization? And
then I'm thinking I should be looking at Ventura. I'm
(27:26):
moving to Ventura, I'm opening a candy store in Ventura,
and I'm done. You know, I have a stepsister. Her
name is Karen Beatty, and she worked up as a
as a nurse, and she was also on the Emergency
Council for Ventura, and so whenever there's an emergency, she
would go in and help man the emergency center. And
they took care of everybody that lives in Ventura. Ventura
(27:50):
is beautiful. They were working twenty four hours a day
and any call that came in, they responded to it.
Michael's Candy's coming to Ventura. That's a great name for it. Yeah,
we'll have something we'll forget. That's a great name for it.
Or dose Yeah, Milo indos. You know, I will say
that one of my favorite places to go as a
kid was Numero Uno. You know, the pizza place, oh,
(28:11):
the Chicago pizza But as I got older, I thought
maybe they should.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Rename that Numero Dose because I made you boop.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You can put that together whatever you whatever, however you
think that that goes together, it's a very unpleasant thought
in this segment with that, Hi buddy, thanks you coming
in Saturday seven to nine pm. I'll be right in
your t You are the biggest stud in Studsville.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Thank you. Brother.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Let's talk about the Warner brothers. Warner Brothers, what's going
to be purchased by Netflix? That deal is on or off,
depending on who you ask. I think it's still on.
But there's a hostile takeover move by paramount offering more
money for the stockholders. And that's how all right, you know,
(29:04):
that's how one of these big, huge moves works.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
They bypass the board.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
They don't go to the you know, the CEO or
the CFO or the chairman of the board. They go
right to the stockholders and say I can give you
more for your shares of stock than Netflix can. And
it's called a hostile takeover. And that is what's going on.
Let's find out where that is. Because this is a
major story in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
This is a company town.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Show business is the business in Los Angeles, and this company,
Netflix buying Warner Brothers to be the world's largest entertainment
company is a big news story.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
Huge, bigger, better, billions of dollars more. Paramount says that's
their offers. They attempt a hostile takeover bid for Warner
Brothers Discovery.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
What a hostile takeover means is that Aunt is sidestepping
Warner's board.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's right. We just went through that, which has already
cut a deal with Netflix. That's right. We went through
that too. Edis instead going straight to Warner's shareholders. We
went through that as well with a deal. We covered that,
and it's a pretty sweet deal.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh we didn't cover that, but you would have to
think it's a sweet deal, because why else would they
do it. You know, I warnered Netflix was offering twenty
seven dollars a share, and I think Paramount's closer to
thirty dollars a share and and billions more in money.
But it includes CNN and some of their other cable stations,
so I don't know how much more it is if
(30:37):
you factor in more pieces of property that are being sold.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And it's a pretty sweet deal.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
The offer a brazen attempt to snatch the media giant
away from Netflix after the Warner Brothers board already approved
the sale to Netflix.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Oh, this could get messy. This could get messy. Now
here's where the race is. The race is now to
the White House because Donald Trump can I can make
or break one of these companies.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He can.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
He can smash this deal for Netflix and hand it
over to his friends at Paramount or vice versa. So
that the race right now is the wild, wild, wild
wild race to the White House to see who can
get closer to President Trump and favor them in this
(31:29):
deal over the other guy.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
Paramount now offering an all cash offer worth seventy eight
billion dollars. Paramount's CEO David Ellison appearing on CNBC.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Okay Ellison, all right, let's find out who these players are.
David Ellison, his son owns Paramount, and David Ellison is
very very good friends with Donald Trump, so he's got
the leg up here.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Paramount CEO David Ellison appearing.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
On cn No, No, David, this is the David Ellison
is the kid. His dad has a great relationship with
Donald Trump. So this kid who owns Paramount now with
sky Dance has.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The leg up.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
We're offering shareholders seventeen point six billion dollars more cash
in the deal they currently have signed up with Netflix.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
The offer could mean a tense in public battle as
Warner Brothers goes directly to shareholders for their support, and now,
in an unusual move, President Trump is signaling he could
get involved.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I told you that.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So Larry Ellison, who will always be my favorite billionaire
because I still am a big America's Cup guy, and
I watched the team Larry Ellison's team up in San Francisco.
They were down I think it was six to one
or six zero, and they had to win seven or
(32:57):
eight races in a row with his Oracle team. And
I used to go home from work and watch the
or no Just before work. I used to go into
my living room and watch the America's Cup, thinking this
is going to be over the Kiwi's or the Ausse's.
I think it was the Kiwi's that year are going
to beat America and we're going to lose the America's
(33:19):
Cup again to these New Zealanders and this Larry Ellison's team.
They won one race, then another, then another. Then one
race got timed out right when the Kiwis were about
to win, and they would have won the America's Cup.
But there's a time limit on these races, and they
timed out on the last leg of the race. And
(33:40):
then Larry Ellison comes back again, win, win, win win.
I think it was seven or eight straight wins in
a row to win the America's Cup. They said it
was the biggest comeback in the history of international sports.
And I watched every single fing second of those races
and it was I was going nuts in the house,
(34:03):
and my wife couldn't believe it. She's like, you're screaming
and whistling like this over sailing. I go, no, this
isn't just sailing. This is a Larry Ellison winning the
America's cop.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
His son in law, Jared Kushner's firm is one of
the investors in the paramount offer.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Oh done deal. Sorry, Netflix, Well, let's got to.
Speaker 10 (34:22):
Go through a process and you we'll see what happens.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
Netflix is already the number one streaming service. The president
at the Kennedy Center Honors over the weekend, saying the
Netflix deal quote could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
It's a lot of market share, so we'll have to
see what happens.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
But Netflix is not backing down. Co CEO Ted Sarando
is saying today he's confident their deal will go through.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
What else is you going to say? Yeah, we'll get
it next time.
Speaker 8 (34:48):
Either deal will have to go to the FTC and
the Department of Justice for review.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, and that's where Larry Allison's going to come in.
Who's good friends with Donald Trump, and his kid is
David Ellison, who now owns Paramount. So you figure it out.
You know how these things work, and.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Either merger could mean viewers will pay more for their
streaming services.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Like that kind of ends on a bummer.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you

I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
You look great and the sleeve is a good addition.
You look like a major league baseball player. You know,
without the talent or the physique or the money or
the game or the high or the age, the youthfulness,
the what is that?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Enough? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Enough, that's enough, Okay, buddy, welcome back, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That is And how long has it been since it
was at August eighth.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
It's been about almost we were talking about it. It's
about almost four months to the day, wow, August seventh,
December ninth.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So for people just tuning in, stephoos who by the way,
now the kt LA and ABC and NBC, all these
TV stations refer to you as the foosh.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yeah, we're all best friends.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
They have to say that my actual name and then
the food and they spelled it correctly too.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Right of the fact that they call you that dumb name.
You know you don't like that name, do you.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Oh, I'm okay with it now I've accepted it. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, you know, originally this one BELLYO named you the Wolf.
I remember, I didn't and that lasted for about an
hour I think about an hour probably, yeah, one segment, yeah,
and then we went to uh oh, my my wife
has a friend named Stephanie and I nicknamed her when
I was buzz one day, Steph, and then you came
in and we gave you that nick name and it stuck.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, well because he couldn't remember my name, so it
morphed into the food.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Right because I didn't know Stefan or Stefan or Steffanie.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, that's happens all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, how do you properly pronounce your name? It's Stepan Stephan. Yeah,
like Jack Stephan exactly. I've gotten that all my life.
We're written the white page. Yeah, but you're feeling good.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I'm feeling much better. It's good. You know.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I was talking to Eric Sklarer, the last you know,
techno producer for you know, John Colebilt, and yeah, my
I kind of got a little stir because I was like,
I can get out of the house, I can arrive now,
I can do stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But the doctor's like, you know, just take it easy.
And sure enough.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I try to do too much with my dad or
my mom. When I start lifting stuff, It's like, oh,
that's why I'm still here, because my wrists would start
hurting at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Now, what kind of car did you end up? Because
your last one was total I believe, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
It sure was. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
So I ended up getting a Toyota Prius. Oh you did,
I sure did. From a Prius to a Prius, I
sure did. Did you get a newer one?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, a lot newer.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, all the bells and whistles, all the bells and whistles.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So that was nice.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
But you know, I can't complain what year is it?
It's twenty nineteen. Oh it's still used car now. So
when you said you get a new one, but new word?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Oh Newerah? What was your old one? Oh? Oh nine? Oh?
Is that right? Yeah? Wow, no, wonder you've met.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Right, it was still trucking though. It's hard to keep
on the road, you know. Twenty year car, ten year
old car? Nor not fifteen sixteen year old car you
were driving? Yeah, you have to work every day after work.
And I was doing uber in it too, No way
I was. You were able to do that, and then
you had to lie to Uber about the year of
your car.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
No, I left it by I missed the mark by
like one year. I think the last year you can
do is two thousand and eight. So I was like,
all right, well.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Now when you show up on a two thousand and
nine Prius in twenty twenty five, or people like, wait,
what's going on?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, there's sometimes this happens a couple of times. But
then they get in the car and I keep it
so clean. They're just like, yeah you do, you're a
clean guy.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So they're like, you know, they they come in, they're like,
is this the newer one?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Like, no, it's are you still driving I'm for a
Lyft or Uber?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Not yet.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I'm still getting my bearings, you know, because I'm still
getting used to driving a lot because even this drive
was I haven't done that since the day of.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The accident, right, swearing at people.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, exactly when you do go and drive uber and
lift again? If you do, I mean, you're you've been
on the news, You're a celebrity, you have celebrity status.
So people getting like, oh, this is the guy who
almost killed himself on the freeway. Now he's driving me.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, something else?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I mean, and who knows who I'm going to run
into or if anyone's gonna recognize me, because they recognized me
even before this happened.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So we'll see. Now have people recognized you since the accident?
Not yet, that hasn't happened yet. Okay, you know, we'll
see what happens, you know, moving forward. Well I recognize you, Yeah,
that's true, BELLI, Oh, you recognize them, so people do
recognize me. Yeah, but it's really nice to have you back, buddy.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah. And also I wanted to say I I we were,
you know, kind of just talking about it as my dad.
I was at my dad's house. I've been my dad's
a lot, helping them a lot. But I want to
first of all, give a shout out to once again
Ucla County Harbor Hospital. Oh, they're the best because they
because of them, I actually am still able to use
my arm because the top surgeons there told me that
they were considering amputating them, so that would have been
(05:47):
really bad.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But they worked. I mean they worked there as off.
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Do you think there's anybody listening right now who had
their arm or their leg amputated at UCLA Hospital and
they're like, oh, I wonder if they could have said.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It the wrong way. I certainly hope not. But they
did a really good job and they were all just fantastic.
And who's your lead doctor? What's a lot of fans.
So the lead a person who took care of my
wrist was doctor Martin's. Okay, so she was very I
mean she she knew all this stuff and she was
(06:22):
the one who actually leaked it to us with like
right before posethon that they were about to amputate it.
But they were like, no, we're gonna keep trying and
trying and trying, and they showed us the images. I
kind of looked like the movie arms that they use
when they cut off someone's forearm or hand, and that's
what it looked like when they were trying to put
it back together. So they were really like Frankensteining my
(06:43):
arm because they had to use my skin and all
that stuff. Your dad, I've got to know, No over
last you know, four or five months and he comes
across to me as old school, Oh, very old school.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
So was he nervous? Do you got a female doctor? Well,
because that's what old school is.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
That's part of it. But yeah, I want to give
a shout out to that the whole hospital. I mean,
they're all great and a lot of fans of you.
When they found out who some people knew who I
was when they transport me from room to room or
if I had to go into another area of the hospital.
They'd be like, oh yeah, the whoish that's cool. I
lived in the Conway listen. Listen to everyone on KFI,
so you know them. To my parents definitely because and
(07:25):
and my mom because she really she stepped up in
a big way because you know, great moms don't come
a lot, and she she was just fantastic. I mean,
I'm gonna write that down. That's a great saying. Uh yeah,
but I'm not as good as with words, but you know,
she really, but I think that's a shirt.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, moms don't come a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Yeah, thought, but she's she's a she was a great
nurse back in the day, so I mean she was
able to take care of me and get me back
to where I am now. And then obviously it was
with my dad a lot. And to you for even
taking the time out of your day to come out
out and see me at the trying to find me
at my place.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It bothered me that the more people not on this
show because we were working, more people in the station,
didn't you know, who didn't have to be here, didn't
go looking for you try to find it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It bothered me.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It really didn't still bothers me today. And also my
dad's favorite story is when you were driving down the
alley and you're like, oh, there's a guy here and
he's looking around. You're like, oh, these guys you know
smoking weed?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, yeah, there's I was driving around porns, isn't
it right? Haw Hawthorn. I'm sorry, Hawthorn.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm driving around Hawthorn and I'm I'm driving down an
alley and I have a flashlight with me and I'm
now I'm walking down the alley and there's guys smoking
weed and I can hear it, and they're playing music
and stuff. And I'm like, have you seen steph Oush.
I know we haven't. Young man, You're lucky to be alive.
(08:49):
Move on, move on. But it really is great to
have you back. And and I I look forward. Are
you going to be coming back slowly? Can be doing
two days a week, three days a week, four days
a week. I want to be back full time.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I just got to get all the technical side stuff,
you know, all the credentials, everything logged in and you know,
kind of see because I know you guys got new
systems and everything.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Guys, we're all, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So updated everything. Yeah, so I gotta get used to
that and then I'll be back in full swing.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You have a great dad and a great mom. I
got a little closer to your dad than your mom
because you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Just that way. But your dad has told me the
greatest stories ever. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, I'm sure he has. He's not afraid to hide that. Yeah,
that's an unbelievable man.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
And also just he liked to tell that story. But
it was funny. At the hospital, I was known as
Iowa for a good week or two, and before they
actually knew my real name. I even went into a
surgery and I could see, oh, who were operating on
what they're doing? And it says Iowa left arm. Wait
because they didn't have your name. Yeah, and for some
reason I don't know. I still don't know what the
(09:52):
protocol is, but they couldn't figure it out. So they
want to say John Doe. So they gave me Iowa.
And then when they found out my name, the main
surgeon of the day was, oh, so you're not Iowa.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Really that went on for a week.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yeah, I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I think you're lucky to have your arm bubb Yeah.
They didn't get the name right. Yeah, right, they can
get that surgery right, but that is right.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
So u c l A.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Harbor Hospital. Yeah, they saved your arm. Yeah, they sure did.
That's great.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
That's a great I mean, look, that's a great p
s A. Or a great commercial for them. You know
that this you know, little hospital. It's not a huge hospital,
I don't think. Yeah, And and they have great uh
you know doctors there that fought tirelessly and the easy
thing to do is to amputate your arm. The tough
thing to do, but the right thing for you is
to save it. That's what they did. They sure did. Yeah,
(10:40):
that's great, buddy. I'm glad you're back. And I hope
you slowed down. Yeah, I'll try to do that.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, all right, thanks Stephoos.

we can open up some spaces for some listeners. And
they said, well how many? And Bellio is working on
(11:27):

many listeners we can invite?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Well, I mean this is kind of a cool show,
and our listeners deserve to be there, right, that's right.
I was thinking it's fifty too much, fifteen too much.

No, I mean there's a ton of people there, you know,
from Cadillac, Executives from Cadillac, the F one team from Cadillac.
Speaker 1 (11:50):

Jay Leno is a big draw, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, I would say so, he is huge. Yeah, you
you're a big draw. Well that's what I that's why.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Please make it easy on me, right.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
That's ultimately the goal, though, right, make it easy on
Bellie is helpful?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, okay, all right, Hey, there's a warning out there everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I know you are people out there who don't like
to use straws because they get caught up in turtles
which may have never happened or once maybe once a
turtle eight of straw and now we're all changing our
lives over that.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
You know, if you ever go to Krozier, how often
do you go to Starbucks? You big Starbucks guy?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Used to go more, don't go very much. Now lately,
I'm with you. I'm with you kind of slowed down.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I gotta say.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
This past weekend, though, I got the seasonal peppermint to
Chocolate dark Chocolate Peppermint lattes and.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Wow, things are phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's wild for your wife for you.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
No, they're good. I got them.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Jen gets miging.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I have my my You know I ordered when I
first went to Starbucks twenty years ago. I got a
Grande mocha frappuccino and no whip cream.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
That's all I've ever ordered from there. I don't think
I ordered anything that has that many words.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Well, I wouldn't. Look, it's not my words. I didn't
invent those words. They did.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I just have to repeat them so I can get
my drink. I'd rather just say a medium coffee or
you know, just a cup of coffee. But they they
changed our vocabulary. But belly O, I know you're a
big Starbucks woman.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Right today, sir?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You did.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, I've got a.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Polar Bear kickpop in the refrigerator right now. Wow, what
a brag that is.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Do you find it offensive that they've taken us all
back to our infant stage where we all have to
use sippy cups?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
No, you don't find that.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
You don't find that odd at all, Or they're making
you speaking French.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
All you have to do is ask for a straw.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If you don't like it, I know, but it comes
with a sippy cup top.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I like those tops. Well yeah, when you were what
four months old? No? I like them? Now you like them? Now?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Does it make you feel like you're a like you're
not really responsible? You know the reason why sippy cups
existed is because kids used to pour milk all over
themselves or juice all over themselves. Yeah, so they put
it in a sippy cup to protect the juice from
flying into their face.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Well, sometimes when you're driving, I need that. So thank
you Starbucks for thinking of me.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Is Angel Martinez with us?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Oh you know, welcome back, baby bag you nice vacation.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Were you on a cruise? You're around the world cruise?
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Yeah, I was on a round the world cruise on
a speedboat.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Wow. Man, oh man, I envy you. I respect that. Man.
When you take off, if you take the f off, yeah,
that's right, you do it, right you two weeks? Right?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Who does it? Two weeks right before Christmas? Angel Martinez.
Nobody takes the Thanksgiving week off and then kicks them
right in the balls for the next week and takes
that week off too.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's that.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, that is so I absolutely respect that. You know,
like I guess you guys, you think I'm coming back early,
just my ass.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I also heard that over the weekend you're out at
the Huntington Beach Pier.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Yeah, that's right. It went out to the Giving Machine
that has a few slots for the Katerina's Club charities.
You can head out there and select if you want,
you know, to contribute to their their scholarship foundation, or
purchase fresh produce or meals or all kinds of of
(16:53):
of charitable donations towards Katerina's Club where other worthy charities,
and all the proceeds for anything that you donate goes
on to that organization.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I'm surprised nobody's ever done that before, but that's great.
Giving Machine is a tropic idea. All right, welcome back,
Angel Martinez. All right, when we come back.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
But was that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
No, Belly, you were you were here yesterday? Oh no,
you weren't here yesterday. No, the chargers were here yet.
That's right, Oh you were here yesterday, absolutely, Man, what
did you do for four hours?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Nothing, I had to introduce the chargers pregame and then
what did you do?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Went home?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Right, Yes, how long were you here for? Really? Seriously?
Four hours?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
What time to over? Four hours? Noon to after four?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But you you did work between noon and for did you?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Okay, we were stories in there, okay, all right, Right,
So there's.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
A warning out about straws and it involves the emergency room. Okay,
so you can't take that lightly. Straws. Everybody uses them,
emergency room. Everybody hates them. But man, when you need
one and you go in and they take care of you,
that's a touchdown. You'll always remember. I can remember almost
(18:07):
every emergency room I've ever been to, beautiful people that
saved me from tremendous pain.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Is what they do in emergency rooms.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
So we come back, straw warning that could end up
in the emergency room, and you'll want to hear this.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Don't blow this off.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Don't go listen to music and forget to come back
and then you're in the emergency room.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It turned on coast with the Christmas music.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah, I know, we will play some Christmas music when
we come back, so you don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
If we can, we probably can't, so f it Merry Christmas.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Michael Mongs joins us, how you bub I am well
in this warm December day, Hey, before we get into
the tree lighting and this event the what is it
the Herman Holiday Block. Yeah, it's a big mishap that
has taught a city official about the dangers of la
bureaucracy that I thought you would love. I picked it
just for you, all right, before we get into that
(19:10):
you might die because of a glass draw? Are you
a big Starbucks guy?
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You know I like a frappuccino.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Okay, I'm saying way, I like a Mocha bronde Mocha frappuccino.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
No whip is my drink. I had one of the
casino on the way out.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Oh that's beautiful. But I am offended by the sippy
cups that they now come in.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I don't mind them. We almost think I like it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I don't know if it's because I like to be infantilized,
I guess so, yeah, what other reason could there be?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I find straw The straws are often too long.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
They do have two size. Yeah, you know, you don't
know which one to pick. It's a lot going on
plus the bigger one is like a pipeline. You know,
It's just it's too much. It's like like a chevron pipeline.
You could absolutely row a boat with it. That's right,
all right, But let's get there, let me do this
and then we'll get into that crazy party.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
A glass straw could kill you, kill you. Glass straw warning.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
People love a glass straw, especially around the holidays. They
look trendy.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Coach ever said that we love a glass straw around
the holidays. I don't even know they existed before that.
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Glass straw warning.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
People love a glass straw, especially around the holidays. They
look trendy and are good for the environment. But this
woman is issuing a warning. She ended up in the
hospital after she says she swallowed a piece of glass
from her straw. She spoke with Alison Hall glass straws
are super popular during the holidays.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Not where I got I mean in the seventies. Maybe
I have never even heard of it. Is it a
glass straw?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now, this woman has a warning. Don't use glass trucks. God,
don't use class trucks. Spring oh no, is that what
she sounded like before? And after don't use glass trucks.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Briann O'Brien ended up in the emergency room after she
says she drank from a glass straw one night.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
I was just chugging the last of my water.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Okay, this is her second run in with the emergency room.
This is the same woman. I remember that name, Brianna
or Brianna last about four years ago, she had a
run in. She used to use a razor straw and
she had a run in with that, and now she
went to glass and had the same problem. Didn't heed
the warning on the razor straw. But I look, I
think this is for wealthy people. I don't think people
(21:26):
who are blue collar are going home and saying, hey,
where's my glass straw? Matt, Well, look what did she
do with it? Because we drink out of glass all
the time. I don't take a bite out of it. Yeah,
it's odd, it is odd. All right, let's get into
why you're here. It's more interesting than the glass straw.
This event was going to include tree lighting by the
mops have gone bad.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You know, all the city officials like to go to
the tree lightings and all their little neighborhoods in their districts,
and Councilman Isabel Herodo is no different and she had
multiple ones over the weekend, including one in Herman Park
also known as Royalty Go Park.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Oh I know what that is, Yeah, Heran Park. They're
in northeast LA.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
So all the people are showing up, they're getting ready
for the big moment to light up the tree, right,
and then they realized they've got a problem. I'm going
to let council Woman Herado explain to you what she
discovered last Saturday.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
Despite my team's tireless preparation, we discovered on the day
of the event that the electrical box had been burnt through.
My team immediately jumped into action. We were on the
phone with our city partners for hours and talking to
four different departments who told us despite it being an
LEDWP pole, nobody knew who the electrical box belongs to.
(22:41):
To this day, we still do not know when the
department owns that box, and so everybody was passing the
bucks saying they could have repaired.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It's a you know, we've been in here.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
We've talked about when you lived in Tarzana and you
needed a tree or something, and they're like, it's a
fifty year wait.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, sidewalk for the sidewalk. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
People who live in Los Angeles know the bureaucracy all
too well. I thought I wanted I would share this
story with you, and our listeners are good because now
you have a city official experiencing first hand what it's
like to find yourself tangled in the web of city
hall bureaucracy. This is a city council member whose office
had been working on this tree lighting, only to find
out when they go to plug in the tree that
(23:21):
the box itself has been completely destroyed. Okay, and then
no department will take responsibility for it. Call the other department. No,
this is the department you want. It's not ours, it's
their problem. And so it makes you wonder did they
learn anything from this. Here's what she says she's learned
about it.
Speaker 11 (23:39):
We're now working with a Bureau of Street Lighting to
figure out what exactly happened and how we can fix
it properly and not just for a few hours. This
points to a bigger issue. It shouldn't take a council
member escalating across the city to get basic city services
delivered and to get the clarity on who's responsible for
an electrical box.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
This kind of.
Speaker 11 (24:00):
Systemic dysfunction hurts our communities, especially those that rely on
us boast. So, for me, public safety begins with the
equitable delivery of city services. If people can't trust us
with the small things, how can they trust us with
the big ones?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Now, she could have said that in nineteen sixty eight,
sixty seven, and she would have been twenty years late.
Decade after decade, the city has just been a bit
of a mess. But anybody who lives in the city
proper of Los Angeles, and they may have the same
struggles in whichever smaller city they live in here in
southern California, But LA is notorious for this. Anything you
feel like you need, is the government actually responsive to
(24:39):
that need? Hey need new trash can, Hey there's a
pot holding, Hey there's a burglar in my house?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Right? How quickly do they respond? Not quickly enough? Okay,
I will say this.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'm going to give the DWP and whatever electric department
in LA and La County, LA City a break for
a second. When you have a tree lighting ceremony and
you go out there and you test it the week
before backup generator, Yeah, backup generator just for the night
if you have to, and so things go smoothly, or
(25:12):
have it plugged into a guy, because I'm sure there
are guys in that neighborhood who are electricians and could
come out and fix that box themselves, or have enough
power in their house to light up a Christmas tree
with LED lights. It's very little electricity goes into these
things nowadays. You know what's interesting at this particular event
where there was a councilwoman present who organized this in
her district. Do you know who was playing Santa Claus
(25:33):
at this event? A member of the Board of Public Works. Wow,
And nobody knew what to do. They did apparently get
a temporary fix to light the tree on Saturday night,
but it's been dark ever since and nobody knows what
to do about it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
But what is the endgame here? Is it just? I
think Christmas is canceled for Northeast LA. But will this
continue for twenty or thirty more years? Or will where
will the city react to this?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
It requires a certain priority, a prioritization that I never
really see this city council do well, let me ask
you a question. Yeah, yeah, you and your your spouse
and your two cats.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yes, you're looking to buy a house.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
And one house is eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars
in the city of la That same house is nine
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in Glendale or Burbank or
Culver City with smaller a smaller city, with you know,
with city officials that react to your problems. Do you
buy the more expensive house in a smaller city or
(26:33):
do you roll the dice in the big city.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
How close is it to your house? Very close? Yeah,
I'll be your name, okay, But that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
We spent more on a house to live in Burbank
because we knew when we called the cops they show up.
You could use the schools. The school that my daughter
went to is a nine out of ten. Burroughs High
Schools a nine out of ten. She got a great education,
so did her kids. Some of her friends went to
Ivy League schools through that public education through Burroughs, you know,
Harvard and Yale, USC and out here on the West coast.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
And that saved me some money.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
You know, I spent a lot of time scrolling Zillow,
daydreaming about when I'm gonna buy a house, you're gonna
buy always looking at like Hancock Park, windsor Square, love
those old LA houses. But this is the thought that
resonates with me is how much longer can we live
with this dysfunctional government that lacks vision and organization? And
then I'm thinking I should be looking at Ventura. I'm
(27:26):
moving to Ventura, I'm opening a candy store in Ventura,
and I'm done. You know, I have a stepsister. Her
name is Karen Beatty, and she worked up as a
as a nurse, and she was also on the Emergency
Council for Ventura, and so whenever there's an emergency, she
would go in and help man the emergency center. And
they took care of everybody that lives in Ventura. Ventura
(27:50):
is beautiful. They were working twenty four hours a day
and any call that came in, they responded to it.
Michael's Candy's coming to Ventura. That's a great name for it. Yeah,
we'll have something we'll forget. That's a great name for it.
Or dose Yeah, Milo indos. You know, I will say
that one of my favorite places to go as a
kid was Numero Uno. You know, the pizza place, oh,
(28:11):
the Chicago pizza But as I got older, I thought
maybe they should.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Rename that Numero Dose because I made you boop.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
You can put that together whatever you whatever, however you
think that that goes together, it's a very unpleasant thought
in this segment with that, Hi buddy, thanks you coming
in Saturday seven to nine pm. I'll be right in
your t You are the biggest stud in Studsville.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Thank you. Brother.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Let's talk about the Warner brothers. Warner Brothers, what's going
to be purchased by Netflix? That deal is on or off,
depending on who you ask. I think it's still on.
But there's a hostile takeover move by paramount offering more
money for the stockholders. And that's how all right, you know,
(29:04):
that's how one of these big, huge moves works.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
They bypass the board.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
They don't go to the you know, the CEO or
the CFO or the chairman of the board. They go
right to the stockholders and say I can give you
more for your shares of stock than Netflix can. And
it's called a hostile takeover. And that is what's going on.
Let's find out where that is. Because this is a
major story in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
This is a company town.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Show business is the business in Los Angeles, and this company,
Netflix buying Warner Brothers to be the world's largest entertainment
company is a big news story.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
Huge, bigger, better, billions of dollars more. Paramount says that's
their offers. They attempt a hostile takeover bid for Warner
Brothers Discovery.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
What a hostile takeover means is that Aunt is sidestepping
Warner's board.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's right. We just went through that, which has already
cut a deal with Netflix. That's right. We went through
that too. Edis instead going straight to Warner's shareholders. We
went through that as well with a deal. We covered that,
and it's a pretty sweet deal.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh we didn't cover that, but you would have to
think it's a sweet deal, because why else would they
do it. You know, I warnered Netflix was offering twenty
seven dollars a share, and I think Paramount's closer to
thirty dollars a share and and billions more in money.
But it includes CNN and some of their other cable stations,
so I don't know how much more it is if
(30:37):
you factor in more pieces of property that are being sold.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And it's a pretty sweet deal.
Speaker 8 (30:43):
The offer a brazen attempt to snatch the media giant
away from Netflix after the Warner Brothers board already approved
the sale to Netflix.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Oh, this could get messy. This could get messy. Now
here's where the race is. The race is now to
the White House because Donald Trump can I can make
or break one of these companies.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He can.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
He can smash this deal for Netflix and hand it
over to his friends at Paramount or vice versa. So
that the race right now is the wild, wild, wild
wild race to the White House to see who can
get closer to President Trump and favor them in this
(31:29):
deal over the other guy.
Speaker 8 (31:31):
Paramount now offering an all cash offer worth seventy eight
billion dollars. Paramount's CEO David Ellison appearing on CNBC.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Okay Ellison, all right, let's find out who these players are.
David Ellison, his son owns Paramount, and David Ellison is
very very good friends with Donald Trump, so he's got
the leg up here.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
Paramount CEO David Ellison appearing.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
On cn No, No, David, this is the David Ellison
is the kid. His dad has a great relationship with
Donald Trump. So this kid who owns Paramount now with
sky Dance has.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
The leg up.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
We're offering shareholders seventeen point six billion dollars more cash
in the deal they currently have signed up with Netflix.
Speaker 8 (32:19):
The offer could mean a tense in public battle as
Warner Brothers goes directly to shareholders for their support, and now,
in an unusual move, President Trump is signaling he could
get involved.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I told you that.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So Larry Ellison, who will always be my favorite billionaire
because I still am a big America's Cup guy, and
I watched the team Larry Ellison's team up in San Francisco.
They were down I think it was six to one
or six zero, and they had to win seven or
(32:57):
eight races in a row with his Oracle team. And
I used to go home from work and watch the
or no Just before work. I used to go into
my living room and watch the America's Cup, thinking this
is going to be over the Kiwi's or the Ausse's.
I think it was the Kiwi's that year are going
to beat America and we're going to lose the America's
(33:19):
Cup again to these New Zealanders and this Larry Ellison's team.
They won one race, then another, then another. Then one
race got timed out right when the Kiwis were about
to win, and they would have won the America's Cup.
But there's a time limit on these races, and they
timed out on the last leg of the race. And
(33:40):
then Larry Ellison comes back again, win, win, win win.
I think it was seven or eight straight wins in
a row to win the America's Cup. They said it
was the biggest comeback in the history of international sports.
And I watched every single fing second of those races
and it was I was going nuts in the house,
(34:03):
and my wife couldn't believe it. She's like, you're screaming
and whistling like this over sailing. I go, no, this
isn't just sailing. This is a Larry Ellison winning the
America's cop.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
His son in law, Jared Kushner's firm is one of
the investors in the paramount offer.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Oh done deal. Sorry, Netflix, Well, let's got to.
Speaker 10 (34:22):
Go through a process and you we'll see what happens.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
Netflix is already the number one streaming service. The president
at the Kennedy Center Honors over the weekend, saying the
Netflix deal quote could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
It's a lot of market share, so we'll have to
see what happens.
Speaker 8 (34:37):
But Netflix is not backing down. Co CEO Ted Sarando
is saying today he's confident their deal will go through.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
What else is you going to say? Yeah, we'll get
it next time.
Speaker 8 (34:48):
Either deal will have to go to the FTC and
the Department of Justice for review.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, and that's where Larry Allison's going to come in.
Who's good friends with Donald Trump, and his kid is
David Ellison, who now owns Paramount. So you figure it out.
You know how these things work, and.
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Either merger could mean viewers will pay more for their
streaming services.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Like that kind of ends on a bummer.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
