Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'll sail away to oh to Alaska. Conway Junior, I
like this, let's roll, man.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Have you been on cruises? Are you cruised?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
God?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, we grew up in my family. We went to
a bund of it. It's been a long long time.
And in fact, we were just talking in the isroom
today about how much I want to do an Alaska cruise.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh is that right? Yeah, that's perfect. We gotta go.
All right, we'll set you out, We'll set you up
without Yeah, sweet deal. Hey, so what's going on? We
got a report of the US Coast Guard on the
Titan submarine that there, if the guy had lived, there
had been some charges.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Huh. Yeah, you remember this thing where the Titan was
going down to the Titanic rex side and then it
disappeared in twenty twenty three, and then for a couple
of days everybody was like, well, maybe they're still alive
down there and they're just like having a party on
the bottom and nobody can find them until they figured
out that they had imploded.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So the Coast Guard did kind of like.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What the NTSB would do in an aviation accident, where
they did the whole thing, and then they came out
with a report at the end. The key headline in
this it's three hundred and thirty five pages, is that
the implosion was totally preventable, that it was the of
the CEO Stockton Rush. Big focus of the findings are
on ocean Gate and stocked and Rush, saying that they
(02:06):
ignored warnings, if they threatened anybody who would bring up
worries about safety as they were developing this thing. He
said before the accident that what he was doing, you
knew it wasn't what was normally done, but that he
was going to win this thing.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I'd like to be remembered as an innovator the carbon
fiber and titanium.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's a rule you don't do that.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Well I did.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There's a rule you don't use carbon fiber, and he did,
and then he died because of it, you know, and
all the warnings that were out there about carbon fiber
not being appropriate for the job. But that's what killed
all five, including Rush on board when with all the
intense pressure that the carbon fiber gave way. But a
lot of folks who spoke up about warning signs beforehand,
he would sue them, He would fire them from the
(02:44):
company if they worked for him. So the chair of
the board that investigated the Titan for the Coast Guard.
He says, yeah, this did not need to happen. This
was totally the arrogance of him saying I'm better than
everybody else, and that he decided he was going to
ignore norms of using steel and do it his own way.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
This incident was from the boards, you're absolutely preventable, and
when we looked at the evidence, the board feels it
was actually predictable.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That they it was predictable based on what he was doing.
But they said that that he was report repeatedly warned
that it wasn't safe. The carbon fiber was giving warnings
of failure by the popping noises that they would hear
when they would take it down. That that was the
carbon fibers snapping and over time you get enough of those,
it just rips open. And he didn't care, and he
kept going and didn't get the vessels certified because he
(03:30):
probably wouldn't have been approved, but he said he didn't
want to get it certified because he didn't need that certification.
And all the off the shelf parts like the Sony
PlayStation controller that was used to drive it, and others
said that they asked them to drive it and they
said no. But yet false sense of security. They said
that he gave to those who were paying a ton
to go on it, that he misrepresented Titans safety to
(03:53):
those who were paying. He claimed safety margins were there,
that they weren't misled on testing that had been done,
exaggerated on them of test times they had done. And
then that other point that you made that if he
were alive, that this would be criminal and he would
face criminal charges.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Somehow the master of the vessel had survived this incident,
the board feels that that would have raised two level
that should be looked at for semens man.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Slaughter simons manslaughter, which is a serious you know, for
a captain of a ship. The other thing, last thing
is that they found that they stored this thing in
a parking lot unprotected for seven months during the off
season when the oceans were too rough.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I don't do that with my car.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, you put your car in a garage for
seven months. They didn't cover it. They just left it out.
It was in the elements, and then they put it
right back in the water while the carbon fiber was
deteriorating out there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And but alex isn't carbon fiber more expensive than steel?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, the way that they were doing it, it was
they found a cheaper way of doing it. According to
the company that they actually had one, and then they
found that it was tearing and ripping, and then they
remade it and they did their own tests and they
found that it would crush it inward, crush it at
a certain depths.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But they just kept going with it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And Yeah, but the whole thing where he would say
that it was the popping noises when they would take
it down, was it seasoning. Everybody in the industry says
there's no such thing as seasoning carbon fiber. That when
it's popping, that means that those strands, because carbon fiber
is just like you know, string essentially wound around and
around and around and around, right, and as those are popping,
those are the strands that are just snapped.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Do you remember when those guys were put into that submersible.
They'd put them in there, then they put the cap on,
and then they'd drill these seventeen bolts and drill them
into the Imagine the claustrophobia you would have if they
drilled you inside of a submarine and then lowered you
into the ocean. There was no evacuation. I mean you
were screwed in there.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, there was, yeah, in numerous different ways that there
was no way to get out. And he had all
these things about, well that we have warning systems that
we would be able to subvert urge before any any
implosion would happen, and all these different sirens will go.
The report found none of that was gonna work, and
that it was just all a bunch of you know,
gobbly goop to make people feel better.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know. The one silver lining in this is that
the Navy heard the explosure or the implosion from nine
hundred more than nine hundred miles away on an off day,
we're not listening for anything. So that that tells you
that the US Navy is always you know, twenty four
to seven, they're on it, that they can hear a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, water exactly, to detect subs nine hundred miles away.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
They heard it. Yeah. Yeah, it's incredible, But I appreciate
coming on. Maybe we'll see you on that Alaska cruise.
All right, he's go to catch Cannon Skagway. That's right,
And that's sculptures they have up there something like that.
I don't know. It's all right, all right? See above
there he goes Alex Stone with ABC News and maybe
that's where Alex Alex Michaelson's going because Alex is leaving Fox. Right,
(06:57):
everybody hear that? Everybody read that? Am I speaking at
a school? I'm sure did. Alex Michaelson is leaving Fox.
And he called me, you're telling me he was leaving?
And I and it was like at ten o'clock at
nine and yeah, and I'm like okay. Then he says,
but I can't tell you where I'm going. I said, Alex,
I barely care where my family is, you know, please?
(07:21):
And he started laughing. He's like, oh, you're He's like, oh,
you're so funny. I'm like, buddy, no, I'm scared. I
don't know what anybody is, what's going on with you?
I can't tell you where I'm going? All right, maybe
you'll end up over here, right, Alex Michaelson, John and
Elex show, how about that? Or handling Alex or I
(07:44):
Gassie gas Tim and Lex g a s. Gassie. Yeah,
that's the new show here. It's Gary Shannon and Alex Gassie. Oh,
that's not a bad idea, Brian Long, that's my idea.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Bob.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
KF I am six forty. It's gone my show. Michael
Monks is here. Hi you, Bob. I'm all right, good
afternoon to you. I'm doing excellent man. I know you
didn't ask, but I offered. So tonight before we get
into why you're here, and we've got some important news
topics going on, this is your Panda night.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Wednesday night is Panda Express night in my house. Yeah,
we're very excited.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Little orange chicken, maybe a little Beijing beef for the frisky, right,
and you wait till the fresh crap comes out.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Or if the bowl looks bare, I'll wait now. The
one I go to, they're on top of it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh they are.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Tell you that is a fast, smooth operation. They always
have a line up to the door and they move
us fast.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I like a line. Yeah, a line means fresh food.
Absolutely a test. You go into one of those places
you ever see those places on on Venturre Boulevard, sorry,
Wilshire Boulevard. Dollar Chinese food right, and nobody's ever in line,
and you walk in and you go.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Wow, we got one downtown that you know, it looks
like Chinese buffet, like something you can go in and
have a bite. But because the signage is kind of
dirty and dated and there's never anybody in there, you
think they're doing something else exactly all.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Right, So, but but that I get the orange chicken,
and I'm even I'm a pain in the ass's panda
because I say the lady, I go, hey, I'll give
you extra couple bucks. Can you give me the small
pieces of orange chicken? Is that because you have to
take your teeth out? No, it's because I don't want
the flintstone you know, dinosaur egg size pieces. They do
have some big ones, huge ran You gotta get a
(09:35):
you know, electric knife out there to cut those things over.
I do love Panda Express. My body doesn't love it,
but my head does. Yeah. And the heart, oh my
heart love hates it. But I love it all right.
Let's talk about ice. What's going on with the home
depot that's I think near your No. Incidentally, your panda
home depot on Wilshram Boulevard is next to my panda Wow,
what is center. I'm going down there for multiple reasons
(09:59):
today it should be interesting. This is in Wesley MacArthur Park,
Mid Yeah, Mishad Boulevard, and this immigration operation today was
interesting for a couple of reasons. One the tactic deployed.
I thought this was because of the Ninth Circuit Court
(10:19):
of ben Bingo. The second part of that is because
of this court order that's lingering. This court order that
the the ACLU and local governments like the county and
the city of La Won at the district level says no,
you know, immigration agents, you can't just go up to
people because they're Hispanic, because they're speaking Spanish, because they're
hanging out in home depot parking lots, that is not
(10:39):
probable cause to stop them on suspicion of being illegal immigrants.
That decision was upheld a temporary restraining order by the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at the federal level. So
things have been very very quiet, but today a wild
operation outside this home depot in Westlake, MacArthur Park, Koreatown,
mid City, mid Wiltshire. They show up federal agents at
(11:00):
around seven o'clock in a Penske moving truck. My style,
very very discreet.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Apparently the driver of this truck pulls up to some
of the guys who are hanging out there in the
parking lot they do and says, we're looking for workers.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Oh boy.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Workers start to come surround the vehicle looking for the opportunity,
and suddenly the back door opens up and out jumps
federal immigration agents.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
It's like butchercast As Syndan's kid when they train stops
and all the horses come out and they start going
after the hole in the wall gang exactly. Or you
can go farther back, like the federal government did in
naming this operation Trojan Horse. Oh is that right?
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Reference to Greek mythology when the Greeks were able to
infiltrate the city of Troy by gifting the Trojans a
large wooden horse with a bunch of Greek soldiers hidden inside.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And in thousands of years from now, you know, when
people are in here doing this and we're gone, people
will say, oh, they did the old Penske truck, the
old Penske panda. Check yea truck trick. Yeah. So they
ended up getting about sixteen people. Wow.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
And as you can imagine, local officials like Mayor Karen
Bass councilman Unitee Hernandez both have come out and strongly
decried this move. What's unclear is what was this operation
as it relates.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
To the court order? Right? Did they not read the news?
I think they're aware of the news. Is this them
flaunting the law? Is this them skirting the law?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
This order from the from the courts did not prohibit
immigration enforcement. It prohibited that type of immigration enforcement what
was considered to be racial profiling. If they had a
legitimate reason to be there a warrant, or if there
was some specific target or multiple targets that they were
looking for, that's enough. But the it's unclear right now
(12:55):
what exactly they were doing there. This particular operation, outside
of the bizarre name sure of the Penske truck, looked
like what we were seeing a couple months ago in
early June, when these raids, these operations were happening all
over southern California, group of federal agents showing up at
places like a home depot and putting people in the
back of a van or a truck and driving off
with them. But we hadn't seen that in several weeks
because of the legal battle.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Well, it's look, it's gonna be a long, hot summer
for a lot of people. They have one hundred and
fifty billion dollars and I don't know if you saw this,
seventy two thousand applicants to join ICE, and.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
They just lifted today the age cap. They said you
could not be older than thirty seven. But Christy Nome,
the Homeland Security Secretary, came out today and said that
that age cap is removed, so you can be an
ICE agent.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
There's gonna be room for seventy two thousand more of
these guys.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
And they are serious about enforcing President Trump's signature campaign
promise that we were going to have the largest mass
deportation effort in this nation's history, and it's been slowed
down in southern California because of these court orders. So
if this, we saw US Attorney Bill of Sale come
out and say today and we're response to this raid
that basically the strong arm of the federal government will
(14:04):
not be tied down. We will be enforcing these laws.
I'll tell you who's not happy about this situation.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
The guys at home Depot parking lot, well, them and
the guys who own Penske. Oh, is that right.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
They put a statement out that says, you know, we
don't mind if you have rent the vehicles for legitimate
moving purposes, but we do strictly prohibit putting people in
the back of the cargo area, whether it's illegal immigrants
or the federal agents. You're not supposed to be a
passenger in the back. So Penske is getting a ton
of backlash on social media right now because of supporters
(14:38):
of Trump, or because of supporters of Trump's immigration policies are.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Paying He doesn't know. I mean, you know, it's like
you rent a truck you don't know, you know, if
you don't know what the guy does with it.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
No, you certainly don't sign on a Penske truck and
say I'm going to go pick up some illegal immigrants
that's from depot and haul them off to god knows where.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I know that home depot. I went there after a
Dodger game to get some supplies. It's right in your
good Sam's hospital. And also the Pacific Dining Car was
there as well. Were you here when the Pacific Dining
car that burned up? Yeah? I think I think I
just missed ever getting a chance to enjoy that. But
I would have loved it.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
You know, I love historic buildings and properties and that,
and I love public transit and I kind of had
a little bit of all that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Expensive but great, it was great. Did you ask them
for the small pieces when you would eat the Pacific
Dining No? No, I eated the Pacific Dining Car once.
I mean I had that kind of money once in
my life and then it was over. But it was
you know, it was eighty ninety dollars a person, really, yeah,
to eat there, and I don't know that kind of
was it big? No, it was. It was literally one car,
(15:36):
two dining cars, two dining cars next to each other,
and then there was like a kitchen off to the side.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Yeah, there's a lot of food on that strip. I
mean there's fast food, of course, the chains that you recognize.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Me.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
You drive up that strip of Wiltshire and you can't
swing a cat without hitting a place to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I used to go to a place there called I
got to get this exactly right because they bust my balls.
Chinese Food Good. Yeah, which was great. That was a
name of the restaurant or a state Chinese Food Good,
And I thought God but you got it really up that,
you know, I mean you just just good. Yeah, they
might be getting a visit from a Penske truck. Yeah right, exactly. No,
(16:13):
I love that that area of town. You know, that's
a uh, that's a real you know if you like
street action, you know, guys buying social Security numbers and
you know by selling crap on the streets. You know,
they just found on a truck. That's your area. You know,
that's my part of town. Come out down anytime. Are
you are you walking distance?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Then no, I'll hop in the vehicle and drive up
to that particular panda okay, because that's a wild area.
It is wild, but compared to the fashion district, it's
a nice vacation. Every Wednesday night.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
All right, monks, thanks for coming on. Man, got it. Wednesday,
Monks is a Panda Day. Put that in your calendar.
And then on Saturdays on seven to nine pm. And
then might maybe a Panda Express after that as well.
Who knows. What a guy, what a life he's got
going on.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from f
I AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We've got a huge mix up here and it might
be my fault and I feel horrible. I feel terrible.
You know, we have hot dog Day every Wednesday. I
bought a hot dog warmer, a steamer, and then we
I bring the buns and hot dogs in. And I
thought we're gonna do it on Thursdays because angels coming up.
Angel you aren't you coming up tomorrow?
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Are you're bringing chicken dogs or sausage or something.
Speaker 8 (17:27):
Yeah, I'm gonna bring some of those yummy chicken sausages.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Okay, okay, all right, that's cool. But Steph Fosh thought
we were eating today, so he had nothing to eat today,
and he's you know, he's about to, you know, bring
take a gun out and wipe this plate down.
Speaker 9 (17:41):
We don't owe people hot dogs, fellio.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You just don't want to clean the hot dogs.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
Don't clean it up today.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Nobody wants to the hot dog water.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Wait until Angel's up here to clean it.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Right, clean it tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Well, I'll clean it, but we got to get this
guy some dogs. You know, we promised Steph Foosh, Oh.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Babe, So kitchen full of foods.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Full of food that nobody eats. You know, it's it's
tuning in a can out of a vending machine. Who's
doing that in twenty twenty five? Well, who's doing that?
Who gets tuna out of a vending machine in twenty
twenty five? No, you don't. You don't like that craft,
do you? Steph fuh? Do you like that stuff?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
No?
Speaker 10 (18:21):
I don't get that unless I'm really, really really the
bad spot handles, notoriously the one guy who would eat
almost anything out.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Of those machines.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, yeah, you grab those sandwiches that had been questionable
from time to time.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Odd, So I sent Richie over. I gave him a
twenty We're gonna go get buns and crank up the steamer.
But we only have eight hot dogs today? Yeah? Right now? Yeah,
we only have eight hot dogs, and I know, Steph fush,
you're gonna have seven. No, I'll be fair, I'll be
I'll be fair. I'll be fair.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Four.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, I'll have like have like three or four? Okay, four?
All right? So half of them? All right? So Richie
will have the other four? I guess. Yeah, and whoever
won anyone else who's around?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Right?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But but you had eleven last time I did. Yeah? Yeah,
how'd that go? I went, well, really, well, that's a
young man. That's young man's body. Yeah, eleven dogs and
nothing that and then nine the week after.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
Wait, you guys didn't do it last week. No, last week.
He had nine last week and then eleven before that.
He said, he's he's averaging ten dogs a week for
a hot dog day.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I'm training for to beat Joe, the one you're dating
a nurse. You have to date a nurse, Okay, some
of their own battles, Yeah, in case you expire at dinner.
So there's no fresh onions though, Stepho, that's okay. I
didn't cut them this week. No, I'm not not that.
But I'll have fresh onions tomorrow. We're gonna have hot
dogs buns tomorrow. We're gonna have a big day tomorrow.
(19:51):
Two days in a row, two days in a row. Belly, Oh,
crank up the steamer. Steph Fusch is on a tear
a gape. He needs his dogs. This is like Michelle
k Want's parents taking them to the ice gating wrick
at four in the morning, making sure that I get
(20:12):
my training. That's right, that's exactly what it's like, exactly exactly.
All right. We got a great song here that belli
O is responsible for, and this guy is also doing
something that we have to promote.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
I think I don't think I'm responsible for it, am
I it?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Bradley Hampton? Is that the guy?
Speaker 9 (20:31):
Bradley Hampton?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
All right, here's a song that he wrote for our
own Sharon Belli O what up everybody?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
What up?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Everybody? Sharon with what up? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Who said that? Wait a minute, here's the ending here?
Speaker 9 (21:01):
So what up everybody?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Who said that's so dumb? Is that Angel? Or or
is that Belly? O? Listen? Listen again? Who who's who
says that's so dumb? Hey guys, guys, I'm trying to
play it. Please please Crosier? Okay? Is that is that
Angel saying that's so dumb?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (21:22):
So what up everybody?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
The very beginning where he says whatever that needs to
play every time Sharon pops her mike, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You know what. So Bellio came up with that what
up everybody? Right? And that was her catch phrase. That
was gonna be her ding dong, right, She's gonna take
off and sell shirts or key chains or something on it.
She had wild ideas. And so she comes in the
next day and I go, hey, do you get the website?
She goes Yeah, I got the website. I got a shirt. Guy,
we're gonna make key chains. You know those tennis hats
(21:53):
that don't have the top on them. The visors. Yeah,
I'm like, oh that you know? That? Is it gonna
take off. You're gonna have your own store. And she
got so excited, and then she came on on the
air and she goes, YEP, I got I got the website.
I got the shirts. So if you want, you know,
your what puff Everybody's shirts? I got them. I gotta
get them rolling the next week or so. And I
thought she just mispronounced what up everybody? Because she said
(22:17):
what puff everybody? And then like an hour later she said, oh,
by the way, we have our first order for the shirts.
What puff Everybody's shirts? I said, Elly, are you saying
what up? Or what pup? And she said I'm saying
what puff everybody? I said yeah, but I thought for
sure when you said it originally you said up everybody?
What up? Everybody? What up?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Everybody?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I said, you said what up everybody? And she puts
her head down and she said, I didn't have my
glasses on when I bought the URL true story, and
so I didn't buy What Up Everybody? I bought what
puff Everybody? So she was going to change everything over
one key mistake in buying.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
A ur L Yeah, because I had to pay for it, but.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It was five dollars for a year.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
No, but you know what happened the second part of
that story. So I did go back to buy what
Up Everybody?
Speaker 9 (23:09):
And it was gone, oh no.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Who stole it? Angel? Angel, Martinez Angel.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
That's right up everybody?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Now she has what up Winery? What Up? Curvine Winery?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
What Up?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Newport Winery?
Speaker 8 (23:27):
But if you if you enter what up Everybody dot com,
it takes you straight to the Conway page.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Okay, and you're you're cool with it now, But if
you ever get in a fight with Bellio, that's going
straight to uh, you know, shoes sandals exactly, going, Yeah,
it's going right. What's the name of your company? Naughty?
It's going right to Naughty USA. That's where it goes.
As soon as you have a battle with Bellio, Bang
Naughty USA.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
We're always on the brink of that.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
That was such a great idea. I think I do
it now.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah that's what they see. I told you, it'sn't even
to take a fight.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
You know, it's just that, well you started it, Tim,
you gave me the idea. I mean it was fine
where it was on the Conway page.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No no, no, girls, girls, Conway, stay at Almighty? What
have I done for? Both of you are against me God?
But I like the what up everybody? You got to
go with that belly What up? Everybody? What up? Everybody? Cherry,
what up everybody? That should have been your your catch phrase,
(24:37):
and then we go to you with what up everybody? Oh,
this weekend in La you know you can do this.
We've got a Dodger game going on, we got a
concert going on, We've got a you know, uh uh,

Speaker 11 (26:38):
Here when she was dig dog, that's ridiculing you.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, well, when you say like that. How dare you?
How dare you?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
KFI AM sixty. It is The Conway Show. And there
are people in the valley without water, the worst weekend
of the year to be without water, and they are
without it up in Porter Ranch and Granada Hills area.
There's a press comings going on right now, but they
were doing the Spanish version of it. Let me see
if this woman here is okay. They're still doing the
(27:30):
Spanish version of it. As soon as the mare comes
back on and we'll we'll get her on by Porter Ranch.
Granada Hills impacted radically by the water outage, and they're
going to give you free water though, so listen to
where you can get free water. You can go bathe
with bottled water like it's, you know, nineteen forty eight andel.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
It couldn't have come at a worse time. It's the
second day of the heat wave. Temperatures in the San
Fernando Valley could reach about one hundred degrees today. This
is where the valve is. It's kind of complicated. It's
a huge valve that were working on and doing some
maintenance yesterday and then one of the valves failed to open,
so at seven o'clock this morning, you had to shut
down the power to some ninety two hundred customers. This
is Renaldi and says.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
None, ninety two hundred customers because somebody and dwp F dom.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Power to some ninety two hundred customers. This is Renaldi
and says none. I want to show you a video
that we shot just moments ago. This is Omelbany Park
and you can come there to get drinking water. But
it's a scorching hot day and you see there are
hundreds of people like to get You can also go
to Holly Burnson Memorial Park.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, or you can go to Von's you know, if
you really want it badly, or Costco or Ralphs and
get your water there. Let's find out where can get
free water. Though.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You can also go to Holly Burnson Memorial Park.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Holly Burnson Memorial Park at your free water and you
can get as much as you want. I don't think
there's a limit to how much water they'll give you.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Get water there as well. We'll come back out to
this live shot. It's not going to fix your commute here.
There's just a lot of work going on. They tell us,
if everything goes the way it's planned, they should have
the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
What planned?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
They should have the water turned on sometime on Friday?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, did I did I get that? Did I hear that?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's Wednesday and the water is gonna be back on
on Friday.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
They tell us, if everything goes the way it's planned,
they should have the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Philip Colleen, Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Well, okay, terrible timing.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Okay, right, yeah, horrible timing, just the worst. But there
you go. Somebody screwed up, somebody and putting those pipes together.
They went to turn the valve on and the valve
wasn't working. There'll be no valves tonight. Kids. Sorry, But
you can get free drinking water, and there's three sites
set up for that. But it's a pain in the ass,
(29:55):
you know, It's just another thing we have to deal
with here in Los Angeles. How weird is it you
to say they get free drinking water, right, and they
and they're gonna and they really they load up your
car with bottled water. But the line is already hundreds
of cars deep. So what are you gonna do? Sit
in your car and wait till you get to the
front of the line. You get nine dollars worth of
(30:16):
water after four hours. Free. Yeah, and guys, yeah yeah,
free right, yeah, yeah. You have no water in your
house until they tell us.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
If everything goes the way it's planned, they should.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
If everything goes perfectly, they.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Should have the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
All right. If everything goes smoothly like DWP always runs everything,
then Friday.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Planned, they should have the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
There you go, Like you said, they get all those
free bottles of water and they wash up the old
school away. They just stand in a big tub and
pour it over them.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It's it's outrageous, you know. I mean, they've been doing
valve changes for you know, four hundred years, and I
bet that one that they're changing out is probably one
hundred years old, you know, seventy to one hundred years old.
And then they went to turn it on and no,
no runs, no drips, no airs. Wasn't that old pe
Johnny bench spray paint commercial that no runs, no drips,
(31:11):
no airs. What was that?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Cry?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I think it was Crylon. Yeah, no runs, no drips,
no airs in this case, no drips, and he paint
the ball and try to rub it, yeah, on a
bench or something. All right, let's see if they're still
going Spanish here if the americ comes back up for
this press conference here Mayor's press conference. Let's see if
they go to English. Fifty four inch pipes twenty four
feet underground? Wow, twenty four feet underground with this pipe.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
Yes, and this pipe itself came from a tank.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Or two tanks.
Speaker 13 (31:43):
So it's uh, it's a pipe that comes from a
pump station. So we found a leak in the pump
station and we shut down the valve to repair the
leak on the pump station. The valve function when we
shut it down. So once we affected the repair, opened
the valve. Up it and open the valve that valve
that that pipeline goes from the pop station to the tank.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
So when we talked about the tank that's downstream of
the pipe and pump streets, pound station pipe.
Speaker 13 (32:15):
Tank, right, but it's up it's yeah, it's a higher elevation.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yes, what's what's its size?
Speaker 13 (32:22):
There's the tank is ten million gallons of water.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
That's all going.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, so let me ask for really, it sounds like
the valve that failed that you're you've got maybe part
partially opened.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Closed, yes, the case I what is it the stick
on the close or the open.
Speaker 13 (32:42):
So we were able to closer to effect repairs, and
we were only able to open it twenty percent. And
we measured that based on the turns on the valve
because it's twenty four deep, twenty four feet deep, and
so we know based on that that is twenty percent open.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
And that's great short.
Speaker 13 (32:58):
Right, because the pump cannot up with that level of
flow through that. That's a real constraint for the system.
If you said that the timeline to get the water
background could be twenty four to eight hours, but.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Then you also mentioned it could be extended.
Speaker 9 (33:12):
Into the weekend, so possibly hunting.
Speaker 13 (33:15):
Yes, So let me explain that better the place. The
first thing that we're trying to do is get a
temporary repair to bring water into the zone while we
affect the permanent repairs. So we have a vendor that's
deploying above ground flexible pipeline and pumps to move water
from Metropolitan Water District supply source into the trunkline while
(33:36):
at the same time, our crews are digging the trenches
and trying to do the permanent repair in our system.
So if this temporary repair is successful today, we're able
to bring water back into the region. We don't know
how long that's going to take, probably twenty four to
forty eight hours, but the water's going to start, the
pressure is going to start raising in some of the zones,
and the customers are able to use the water. That's
(33:57):
why the con conservation messages are so important, because.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Okay, she got to conserve water out there in Rancho
Porta Ranch and Granada Hills and you might not have
water until Monday. So it's fun living in la isn't it.
We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I'll sail away to oh to Alaska. Conway Junior, I
like this, let's roll, man.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Have you been on cruises? Are you cruised?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
God?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, we grew up in my family. We went to
a bund of it. It's been a long long time.
And in fact, we were just talking in the isroom
today about how much I want to do an Alaska cruise.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh is that right? Yeah, that's perfect. We gotta go.
All right, we'll set you out, We'll set you up
without Yeah, sweet deal. Hey, so what's going on? We
got a report of the US Coast Guard on the
Titan submarine that there, if the guy had lived, there
had been some charges.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Huh. Yeah, you remember this thing where the Titan was
going down to the Titanic rex side and then it
disappeared in twenty twenty three, and then for a couple
of days everybody was like, well, maybe they're still alive
down there and they're just like having a party on
the bottom and nobody can find them until they figured
out that they had imploded.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So the Coast Guard did kind of like.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
What the NTSB would do in an aviation accident, where
they did the whole thing, and then they came out
with a report at the end. The key headline in
this it's three hundred and thirty five pages, is that
the implosion was totally preventable, that it was the of
the CEO Stockton Rush. Big focus of the findings are
on ocean Gate and stocked and Rush, saying that they
(02:06):
ignored warnings, if they threatened anybody who would bring up
worries about safety as they were developing this thing. He
said before the accident that what he was doing, you
knew it wasn't what was normally done, but that he
was going to win this thing.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I'd like to be remembered as an innovator the carbon
fiber and titanium.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's a rule you don't do that.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Well I did.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
There's a rule you don't use carbon fiber, and he did,
and then he died because of it, you know, and
all the warnings that were out there about carbon fiber
not being appropriate for the job. But that's what killed
all five, including Rush on board when with all the
intense pressure that the carbon fiber gave way. But a
lot of folks who spoke up about warning signs beforehand,
he would sue them, He would fire them from the
(02:44):
company if they worked for him. So the chair of
the board that investigated the Titan for the Coast Guard.
He says, yeah, this did not need to happen. This
was totally the arrogance of him saying I'm better than
everybody else, and that he decided he was going to
ignore norms of using steel and do it his own way.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
This incident was from the boards, you're absolutely preventable, and
when we looked at the evidence, the board feels it
was actually predictable.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That they it was predictable based on what he was doing.
But they said that that he was report repeatedly warned
that it wasn't safe. The carbon fiber was giving warnings
of failure by the popping noises that they would hear
when they would take it down. That that was the
carbon fibers snapping and over time you get enough of those,
it just rips open. And he didn't care, and he
kept going and didn't get the vessels certified because he
(03:30):
probably wouldn't have been approved, but he said he didn't
want to get it certified because he didn't need that certification.
And all the off the shelf parts like the Sony
PlayStation controller that was used to drive it, and others
said that they asked them to drive it and they
said no. But yet false sense of security. They said
that he gave to those who were paying a ton
to go on it, that he misrepresented Titans safety to
(03:53):
those who were paying. He claimed safety margins were there,
that they weren't misled on testing that had been done,
exaggerated on them of test times they had done. And
then that other point that you made that if he
were alive, that this would be criminal and he would
face criminal charges.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Somehow the master of the vessel had survived this incident,
the board feels that that would have raised two level
that should be looked at for semens man.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Slaughter simons manslaughter, which is a serious you know, for
a captain of a ship. The other thing, last thing
is that they found that they stored this thing in
a parking lot unprotected for seven months during the off
season when the oceans were too rough.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I don't do that with my car.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, yeah, you put your car in a garage for
seven months. They didn't cover it. They just left it out.
It was in the elements, and then they put it
right back in the water while the carbon fiber was
deteriorating out there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
And but alex isn't carbon fiber more expensive than steel?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Well, the way that they were doing it, it was
they found a cheaper way of doing it. According to
the company that they actually had one, and then they
found that it was tearing and ripping, and then they
remade it and they did their own tests and they
found that it would crush it inward, crush it at
a certain depths.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But they just kept going with it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And Yeah, but the whole thing where he would say
that it was the popping noises when they would take
it down, was it seasoning. Everybody in the industry says
there's no such thing as seasoning carbon fiber. That when
it's popping, that means that those strands, because carbon fiber
is just like you know, string essentially wound around and
around and around and around, right, and as those are popping,
those are the strands that are just snapped.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Do you remember when those guys were put into that submersible.
They'd put them in there, then they put the cap on,
and then they'd drill these seventeen bolts and drill them
into the Imagine the claustrophobia you would have if they
drilled you inside of a submarine and then lowered you
into the ocean. There was no evacuation. I mean you
were screwed in there.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, there was, yeah, in numerous different ways that there
was no way to get out. And he had all
these things about, well that we have warning systems that
we would be able to subvert urge before any any
implosion would happen, and all these different sirens will go.
The report found none of that was gonna work, and
that it was just all a bunch of you know,
gobbly goop to make people feel better.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know. The one silver lining in this is that
the Navy heard the explosure or the implosion from nine
hundred more than nine hundred miles away on an off day,
we're not listening for anything. So that that tells you
that the US Navy is always you know, twenty four
to seven, they're on it, that they can hear a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, water exactly, to detect subs nine hundred miles away.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
They heard it. Yeah. Yeah, it's incredible, But I appreciate
coming on. Maybe we'll see you on that Alaska cruise.
All right, he's go to catch Cannon Skagway. That's right,
And that's sculptures they have up there something like that.
I don't know. It's all right, all right? See above
there he goes Alex Stone with ABC News and maybe
that's where Alex Alex Michaelson's going because Alex is leaving Fox. Right,
(06:57):
everybody hear that? Everybody read that? Am I speaking at
a school? I'm sure did. Alex Michaelson is leaving Fox.
And he called me, you're telling me he was leaving?
And I and it was like at ten o'clock at
nine and yeah, and I'm like okay. Then he says,
but I can't tell you where I'm going. I said, Alex,
I barely care where my family is, you know, please?
(07:21):
And he started laughing. He's like, oh, you're He's like, oh,
you're so funny. I'm like, buddy, no, I'm scared. I
don't know what anybody is, what's going on with you?
I can't tell you where I'm going? All right, maybe
you'll end up over here, right, Alex Michaelson, John and
Elex show, how about that? Or handling Alex or I
(07:44):
Gassie gas Tim and Lex g a s. Gassie. Yeah,
that's the new show here. It's Gary Shannon and Alex Gassie. Oh,
that's not a bad idea, Brian Long, that's my idea.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Bob.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
KF I am six forty. It's gone my show. Michael
Monks is here. Hi you, Bob. I'm all right, good
afternoon to you. I'm doing excellent man. I know you
didn't ask, but I offered. So tonight before we get
into why you're here, and we've got some important news
topics going on, this is your Panda night.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Wednesday night is Panda Express night in my house. Yeah,
we're very excited.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Little orange chicken, maybe a little Beijing beef for the frisky, right,
and you wait till the fresh crap comes out.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
Or if the bowl looks bare, I'll wait now. The
one I go to, they're on top of it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh they are.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Tell you that is a fast, smooth operation. They always
have a line up to the door and they move
us fast.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I like a line. Yeah, a line means fresh food.
Absolutely a test. You go into one of those places
you ever see those places on on Venturre Boulevard, sorry,
Wilshire Boulevard. Dollar Chinese food right, and nobody's ever in line,
and you walk in and you go.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
Wow, we got one downtown that you know, it looks
like Chinese buffet, like something you can go in and
have a bite. But because the signage is kind of
dirty and dated and there's never anybody in there, you
think they're doing something else exactly all.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Right, So, but but that I get the orange chicken,
and I'm even I'm a pain in the ass's panda
because I say the lady, I go, hey, I'll give
you extra couple bucks. Can you give me the small
pieces of orange chicken? Is that because you have to
take your teeth out? No, it's because I don't want
the flintstone you know, dinosaur egg size pieces. They do
have some big ones, huge ran You gotta get a
(09:35):
you know, electric knife out there to cut those things over.
I do love Panda Express. My body doesn't love it,
but my head does. Yeah. And the heart, oh my
heart love hates it. But I love it all right.
Let's talk about ice. What's going on with the home
depot that's I think near your No. Incidentally, your panda
home depot on Wilshram Boulevard is next to my panda Wow,
what is center. I'm going down there for multiple reasons
(09:59):
today it should be interesting. This is in Wesley MacArthur Park,
Mid Yeah, Mishad Boulevard, and this immigration operation today was
interesting for a couple of reasons. One the tactic deployed.
I thought this was because of the Ninth Circuit Court
(10:19):
of ben Bingo. The second part of that is because
of this court order that's lingering. This court order that
the the ACLU and local governments like the county and
the city of La Won at the district level says no,
you know, immigration agents, you can't just go up to
people because they're Hispanic, because they're speaking Spanish, because they're
hanging out in home depot parking lots, that is not
(10:39):
probable cause to stop them on suspicion of being illegal immigrants.
That decision was upheld a temporary restraining order by the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at the federal level. So
things have been very very quiet, but today a wild
operation outside this home depot in Westlake, MacArthur Park, Koreatown,
mid City, mid Wiltshire. They show up federal agents at
(11:00):
around seven o'clock in a Penske moving truck. My style,
very very discreet.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Apparently the driver of this truck pulls up to some
of the guys who are hanging out there in the
parking lot they do and says, we're looking for workers.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Oh boy.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Workers start to come surround the vehicle looking for the opportunity,
and suddenly the back door opens up and out jumps
federal immigration agents.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
It's like butchercast As Syndan's kid when they train stops
and all the horses come out and they start going
after the hole in the wall gang exactly. Or you
can go farther back, like the federal government did in
naming this operation Trojan Horse. Oh is that right?
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Reference to Greek mythology when the Greeks were able to
infiltrate the city of Troy by gifting the Trojans a
large wooden horse with a bunch of Greek soldiers hidden inside.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
And in thousands of years from now, you know, when
people are in here doing this and we're gone, people
will say, oh, they did the old Penske truck, the
old Penske panda. Check yea truck trick. Yeah. So they
ended up getting about sixteen people. Wow.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
And as you can imagine, local officials like Mayor Karen
Bass councilman Unitee Hernandez both have come out and strongly
decried this move. What's unclear is what was this operation
as it relates.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
To the court order? Right? Did they not read the news?
I think they're aware of the news. Is this them
flaunting the law? Is this them skirting the law?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
This order from the from the courts did not prohibit
immigration enforcement. It prohibited that type of immigration enforcement what
was considered to be racial profiling. If they had a
legitimate reason to be there a warrant, or if there
was some specific target or multiple targets that they were
looking for, that's enough. But the it's unclear right now
(12:55):
what exactly they were doing there. This particular operation, outside
of the bizarre name sure of the Penske truck, looked
like what we were seeing a couple months ago in
early June, when these raids, these operations were happening all
over southern California, group of federal agents showing up at
places like a home depot and putting people in the
back of a van or a truck and driving off
with them. But we hadn't seen that in several weeks
because of the legal battle.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Well, it's look, it's gonna be a long, hot summer
for a lot of people. They have one hundred and
fifty billion dollars and I don't know if you saw this,
seventy two thousand applicants to join ICE, and.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
They just lifted today the age cap. They said you
could not be older than thirty seven. But Christy Nome,
the Homeland Security Secretary, came out today and said that
that age cap is removed, so you can be an
ICE agent.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
There's gonna be room for seventy two thousand more of
these guys.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
And they are serious about enforcing President Trump's signature campaign
promise that we were going to have the largest mass
deportation effort in this nation's history, and it's been slowed
down in southern California because of these court orders. So
if this, we saw US Attorney Bill of Sale come
out and say today and we're response to this raid
that basically the strong arm of the federal government will
(14:04):
not be tied down. We will be enforcing these laws.
I'll tell you who's not happy about this situation.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
The guys at home Depot parking lot, well, them and
the guys who own Penske. Oh, is that right.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
They put a statement out that says, you know, we
don't mind if you have rent the vehicles for legitimate
moving purposes, but we do strictly prohibit putting people in
the back of the cargo area, whether it's illegal immigrants
or the federal agents. You're not supposed to be a
passenger in the back. So Penske is getting a ton
of backlash on social media right now because of supporters
(14:38):
of Trump, or because of supporters of Trump's immigration policies are.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Paying He doesn't know. I mean, you know, it's like
you rent a truck you don't know, you know, if
you don't know what the guy does with it.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
No, you certainly don't sign on a Penske truck and
say I'm going to go pick up some illegal immigrants
that's from depot and haul them off to god knows where.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I know that home depot. I went there after a
Dodger game to get some supplies. It's right in your
good Sam's hospital. And also the Pacific Dining Car was
there as well. Were you here when the Pacific Dining
car that burned up? Yeah? I think I think I
just missed ever getting a chance to enjoy that. But
I would have loved it.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
You know, I love historic buildings and properties and that,
and I love public transit and I kind of had
a little bit of all that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Expensive but great, it was great. Did you ask them
for the small pieces when you would eat the Pacific
Dining No? No, I eated the Pacific Dining Car once.
I mean I had that kind of money once in
my life and then it was over. But it was
you know, it was eighty ninety dollars a person, really, yeah,
to eat there, and I don't know that kind of
was it big? No, it was. It was literally one car,
(15:36):
two dining cars, two dining cars next to each other,
and then there was like a kitchen off to the side.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Yeah, there's a lot of food on that strip. I
mean there's fast food, of course, the chains that you recognize.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Me.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
You drive up that strip of Wiltshire and you can't
swing a cat without hitting a place to eat.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I used to go to a place there called I
got to get this exactly right because they bust my balls.
Chinese Food Good. Yeah, which was great. That was a
name of the restaurant or a state Chinese Food Good,
And I thought God but you got it really up that,
you know, I mean you just just good. Yeah, they
might be getting a visit from a Penske truck. Yeah right, exactly. No,
(16:13):
I love that that area of town. You know, that's
a uh, that's a real you know if you like
street action, you know, guys buying social Security numbers and
you know by selling crap on the streets. You know,
they just found on a truck. That's your area. You know,
that's my part of town. Come out down anytime. Are
you are you walking distance?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Then no, I'll hop in the vehicle and drive up
to that particular panda okay, because that's a wild area.
It is wild, but compared to the fashion district, it's
a nice vacation. Every Wednesday night.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
All right, monks, thanks for coming on. Man, got it. Wednesday,
Monks is a Panda Day. Put that in your calendar.
And then on Saturdays on seven to nine pm. And
then might maybe a Panda Express after that as well.
Who knows. What a guy, what a life he's got
going on.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from f

be my fault and I feel horrible. I feel terrible.

All right. We got a great song here that belli
O is responsible for, and this guy is also doing
something that we have to promote.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
I think I don't think I'm responsible for it, am
I it?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Bradley Hampton? Is that the guy?
Speaker 9 (20:31):
Bradley Hampton?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
All right, here's a song that he wrote for our
own Sharon Belli O what up everybody?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
What up?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Everybody? Sharon with what up? Everybody?
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Who said that? Wait a minute, here's the ending here?
Speaker 9 (21:01):
So what up everybody?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Who said that's so dumb? Is that Angel? Or or
is that Belly? O? Listen? Listen again? Who who's who
says that's so dumb? Hey guys, guys, I'm trying to
play it. Please please Crosier? Okay? Is that is that
Angel saying that's so dumb?
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (21:22):
So what up everybody?
Speaker 3 (21:26):
The very beginning where he says whatever that needs to
play every time Sharon pops her mike, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You know what. So Bellio came up with that what
up everybody? Right? And that was her catch phrase. That
was gonna be her ding dong, right, She's gonna take
off and sell shirts or key chains or something on it.
She had wild ideas. And so she comes in the
next day and I go, hey, do you get the website?
She goes Yeah, I got the website. I got a shirt. Guy,
we're gonna make key chains. You know those tennis hats
(21:53):
that don't have the top on them. The visors. Yeah,
I'm like, oh that you know? That? Is it gonna
take off. You're gonna have your own store. And she
got so excited, and then she came on on the
air and she goes, YEP, I got I got the website.
I got the shirts. So if you want, you know,
your what puff Everybody's shirts? I got them. I gotta
get them rolling the next week or so. And I
thought she just mispronounced what up everybody? Because she said
(22:17):
what puff everybody? And then like an hour later she said, oh,
by the way, we have our first order for the shirts.
What puff Everybody's shirts? I said, Elly, are you saying
what up? Or what pup? And she said I'm saying
what puff everybody? I said yeah, but I thought for
sure when you said it originally you said up everybody?
What up? Everybody? What up?
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Everybody?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I said, you said what up everybody? And she puts
her head down and she said, I didn't have my
glasses on when I bought the URL true story, and
so I didn't buy What Up Everybody? I bought what
puff Everybody? So she was going to change everything over
one key mistake in buying.
Speaker 11 (22:57):
A ur L Yeah, because I had to pay for it, but.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It was five dollars for a year.
Speaker 12 (23:03):
No, but you know what happened the second part of
that story. So I did go back to buy what
Up Everybody?
Speaker 9 (23:09):
And it was gone, oh no.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Who stole it? Angel? Angel, Martinez Angel.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
That's right up everybody?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Now she has what up Winery? What Up? Curvine Winery?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
What Up?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Newport Winery?
Speaker 8 (23:27):
But if you if you enter what up Everybody dot com,
it takes you straight to the Conway page.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Okay, and you're you're cool with it now, But if
you ever get in a fight with Bellio, that's going
straight to uh, you know, shoes sandals exactly, going, Yeah,
it's going right. What's the name of your company? Naughty?
It's going right to Naughty USA. That's where it goes.
As soon as you have a battle with Bellio, Bang
Naughty USA.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
We're always on the brink of that.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
That was such a great idea. I think I do
it now.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah that's what they see. I told you, it'sn't even
to take a fight.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
You know, it's just that, well you started it, Tim,
you gave me the idea. I mean it was fine
where it was on the Conway page.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
No no, no, girls, girls, Conway, stay at Almighty? What
have I done for? Both of you are against me God?
But I like the what up everybody? You got to
go with that belly What up? Everybody? What up? Everybody? Cherry,

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, well, when you say like that. How dare you?
How dare you?
Speaker 6 (26:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
KFI AM sixty. It is The Conway Show. And there
are people in the valley without water, the worst weekend
of the year to be without water, and they are
without it up in Porter Ranch and Granada Hills area.
There's a press comings going on right now, but they
were doing the Spanish version of it. Let me see
if this woman here is okay. They're still doing the
(27:30):
Spanish version of it. As soon as the mare comes
back on and we'll we'll get her on by Porter Ranch.
Granada Hills impacted radically by the water outage, and they're
going to give you free water though, so listen to
where you can get free water. You can go bathe
with bottled water like it's, you know, nineteen forty eight andel.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
It couldn't have come at a worse time. It's the
second day of the heat wave. Temperatures in the San
Fernando Valley could reach about one hundred degrees today. This
is where the valve is. It's kind of complicated. It's
a huge valve that were working on and doing some
maintenance yesterday and then one of the valves failed to open,
so at seven o'clock this morning, you had to shut
down the power to some ninety two hundred customers. This
is Renaldi and says.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
None, ninety two hundred customers because somebody and dwp F dom.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Power to some ninety two hundred customers. This is Renaldi
and says none. I want to show you a video
that we shot just moments ago. This is Omelbany Park
and you can come there to get drinking water. But
it's a scorching hot day and you see there are
hundreds of people like to get You can also go
to Holly Burnson Memorial Park.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, or you can go to Von's you know, if
you really want it badly, or Costco or Ralphs and
get your water there. Let's find out where can get
free water. Though.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You can also go to Holly Burnson Memorial Park.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Holly Burnson Memorial Park at your free water and you
can get as much as you want. I don't think
there's a limit to how much water they'll give you.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Get water there as well. We'll come back out to
this live shot. It's not going to fix your commute here.
There's just a lot of work going on. They tell us,
if everything goes the way it's planned, they should have
the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
What planned?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
They should have the water turned on sometime on Friday?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, did I did I get that? Did I hear that?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Right?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
It's Wednesday and the water is gonna be back on
on Friday.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
They tell us, if everything goes the way it's planned,
they should have the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Philip Colleen, Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Well, okay, terrible timing.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Okay, right, yeah, horrible timing, just the worst. But there
you go. Somebody screwed up, somebody and putting those pipes together.
They went to turn the valve on and the valve
wasn't working. There'll be no valves tonight. Kids. Sorry, But
you can get free drinking water, and there's three sites
set up for that. But it's a pain in the ass,
(29:55):
you know, It's just another thing we have to deal
with here in Los Angeles. How weird is it you
to say they get free drinking water, right, and they
and they're gonna and they really they load up your
car with bottled water. But the line is already hundreds
of cars deep. So what are you gonna do? Sit
in your car and wait till you get to the
front of the line. You get nine dollars worth of
(30:16):
water after four hours. Free. Yeah, and guys, yeah yeah,
free right, yeah, yeah. You have no water in your
house until they tell us.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
If everything goes the way it's planned, they should.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
If everything goes perfectly, they.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Should have the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
All right. If everything goes smoothly like DWP always runs everything,
then Friday.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Planned, they should have the water turned on sometime on Friday.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
There you go, Like you said, they get all those
free bottles of water and they wash up the old
school away. They just stand in a big tub and
pour it over them.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It's it's outrageous, you know. I mean, they've been doing
valve changes for you know, four hundred years, and I
bet that one that they're changing out is probably one
hundred years old, you know, seventy to one hundred years old.
And then they went to turn it on and no,
no runs, no drips, no airs. Wasn't that old pe
Johnny bench spray paint commercial that no runs, no drips,
(31:11):
no airs. What was that?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Cry?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I think it was Crylon. Yeah, no runs, no drips,
no airs in this case, no drips, and he paint
the ball and try to rub it, yeah, on a
bench or something. All right, let's see if they're still
going Spanish here if the americ comes back up for
this press conference here Mayor's press conference. Let's see if
they go to English. Fifty four inch pipes twenty four
feet underground? Wow, twenty four feet underground with this pipe.
Speaker 10 (31:37):
Yes, and this pipe itself came from a tank.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Or two tanks.
Speaker 13 (31:43):
So it's uh, it's a pipe that comes from a
pump station. So we found a leak in the pump
station and we shut down the valve to repair the
leak on the pump station. The valve function when we
shut it down. So once we affected the repair, opened
the valve. Up it and open the valve that valve
that that pipeline goes from the pop station to the tank.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
So when we talked about the tank that's downstream of
the pipe and pump streets, pound station pipe.
Speaker 13 (32:15):
Tank, right, but it's up it's yeah, it's a higher elevation.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yes, what's what's its size?
Speaker 13 (32:22):
There's the tank is ten million gallons of water.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
That's all going.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, so let me ask for really, it sounds like
the valve that failed that you're you've got maybe part
partially opened.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Closed, yes, the case I what is it the stick
on the close or the open.
Speaker 13 (32:42):
So we were able to closer to effect repairs, and
we were only able to open it twenty percent. And
we measured that based on the turns on the valve
because it's twenty four deep, twenty four feet deep, and
so we know based on that that is twenty percent open.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
And that's great short.
Speaker 13 (32:58):
Right, because the pump cannot up with that level of
flow through that. That's a real constraint for the system.
If you said that the timeline to get the water
background could be twenty four to eight hours, but.
Speaker 1 (33:11):

Speaker 13 (33:15):
Yes, So let me explain that better the place. The
first thing that we're trying to do is get a
temporary repair to bring water into the zone while we
affect the permanent repairs. So we have a vendor that's
deploying above ground flexible pipeline and pumps to move water
from Metropolitan Water District supply source into the trunkline while
(33:36):
at the same time, our crews are digging the trenches
and trying to do the permanent repair in our system.
So if this temporary repair is successful today, we're able
to bring water back into the region. We don't know
how long that's going to take, probably twenty four to
forty eight hours, but the water's going to start, the
pressure is going to start raising in some of the zones,
and the customers are able to use the water. That's

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Okay, she got to conserve water out there in Rancho
Porta Ranch and Granada Hills and you might not have
water until Monday. So it's fun living in la isn't it.
