It’s shaping up to be the biggest weekend for families heading out to buy their Christmas trees, and Toluca Lake is buzzing with festive energy during the Dylan Keith Salon Holiday Walk Around.
In an astonishing human achievement, a man who spent 27 years walking around the entire world is making headlines for his incredible journey.
Southern California faced major disruptions as a police incident shut down sections of the 5 Freeway near Del Mar for hours, creating massive backups. One local business is dealing with back-to-back burglaries, adding to the chaos.
Holiday festivities turned wild in Rancho Cucamonga, where the popular Thoroughbred Christmas lights drew huge crowds—and misbehavior. Some visitors were stuck in traffic for up to four hours, even causing issues along the horse trails, but it remains a beloved experience for families seeking holiday magic.
Meanwhile, the entertainment world is still reeling from Netflix’s blockbuster acquisition of Warner Bros., a massive deal raising questions about the future of streaming, film, and Hollywood’s power structure. Reports also suggest the freeway shutdown in Del Mar Heights may be tied to a possible jumper, further contributing to severe traffic gridlock.

A lot of people are going to buy their Christmas

the biggest weekend in the United States to go out

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Not the one we did a few years ago from
Yeah exactly, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, I'll be there at the seven thirty, So come

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Shut the whole street down there.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh no, that's the Magnolia one that we did. I
don't know if they shut down Riverside Driver, I don't
think they have the Monday to do.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Then.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This is at Dylan Keith one zero two one six
Riverside Drive. It's just a block west of the Trader
Joe's there. Ah, and my wife's got a little boots,
so I'm going to go buy. And I don't know
buy something. I'll buy something from her.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
From her, he just finds some people go, hey, go
buy something from Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Here's a twenty seven thirty eight thirty one zero two
one six Riversent drive. So I'll be out there. I'm
not going to be walking around locks. It's going to
be freezing. But how about this guy who walked around
the Earth. It took him twenty seven years to walk
around the planet, and he's coming to an end and
(01:32):
he's thinking about walking back.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
And this guy, Carl Bushby, really is the ultimate globetrotter,
if you will, walking across continents, but walking also across
time sponsored by a lot about your brands. I mean,
what have you been doing since the year nineteen ninety eight,
because that is when he started walking?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Had he started in nineteen ninety eight to walk around
the entire planet twenty seven years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
He had two rules, he calls him simple. He couldn't
use any mechanical transport, and he would not go home
until he got there on foot.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Since Carl Bushby started walking NonStop across the planet in
nineteen ninety eight, the world has changed, but human kindness,
he says, has not. Since his first few days on
the road in Chile.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
His indigenous coach has brought me in that sat me down,
foot plates of food in front of me, and then
you know, tea and thank you very much, and then left.
Found nothing but the best in those twenty seven years,
which has just been remarkable.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Twenty seven years every day walking around the earth for what.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
In that time? Bushby has walked about thirty thousand miles. Wow,
from the age of twenty nine. He's marked a generation
of birthdays on the road and turned fifty six this year.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So he's fifty six. He started twenty seven years ago.
When is that twenty nine thirty? That would have him
at fifty seven. Yeah, so twenty nine years old. So
once he finishes this walk, do you think he'll walk
back another twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Years traversing up the Americas, across the US to Russia,
then Asia and now Europe. Why? How?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Life?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's a great question. I think that's the only question.
Can really, you know, ask this guy why?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah? And maybe in that tone, why why?
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Our lives are short?
Speaker 6 (03:30):
And I've always wanted to live it to the fullest
where I can.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Bushby has lived more than most of us might ever
dare one of the scariest things happened early on. In
two thousand, he crossed the dangerous Darien Gap, the only
way to pass from South to Central America.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, good luck trying to get through there.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
WUFA through the middle of the war zone, and there's
a whole layer above that of cartels and good plantations
and then really really jungle.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
He later traversed the Bearing Street from Alaska to Siberia,
becoming the first brit to do so, and had a
run in with a polar bear.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
You have a very serious world that will kill you
in twenty minutes if you mess up.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Barred from walking through Russia or Iran, he swam the
Caspian Sea, the first person to do so.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Wow, man, this.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Guy's dedicated twenty seven years walking around the earth.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Nearly two hundred miles in a month, and now to
get home he may have to swim again the English
Channel from France.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
But swim It sucks, dude, it just sucks. I'm not
a swim at all.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Well, you don't also have to do it, you know,
you can push you to do this. Yeah, take a
get a if you have, you know, forty eight dollars
to get on the chunnel and take the train.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Then physical challenges aside. Bushby says there were emotional ones too, twice.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
What's both in circumstances? Wait?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
What happened to us two twice?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What did he say there? I did something twice twice?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
What's both in circumisconsin?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, I'm not getting it.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Just hard to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I think he's lost his sense of being able to
verbalize itself. Yeah, for twenty seven years.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
On the road like this, was there ever a time
with family or close friends where you thought, you know what,
I got to go back?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
So it was understood that I think if any of
them died, I wouldn't be there.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
As simple as that.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Technological adaptations were needed as well. In twenty thirteen, he
bought his first touchscreen device.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
In the early days, you are pretty acland now you
couldn't hide if you tried.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Buck on the.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Coral started his TikTok just this summer and has more
than three hundred and fifty thousand followers. As he hits
his home stretch, how does.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
It feel uncomfortable realizing that?
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is it going to end up in England? I think
he's in France now or in Spain. He's going to
end up in England.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Anyone who's had a light time and you have any
time to retire.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
What's what's the lesson you want to share?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, don't to steal a word from Joe Biden, don't.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Don't be it preak.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, don't, don't don't don't just don't.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Don't be it preak. Get up the couch, get out
of bed.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Okay, all right, I understand the message get off the couch.
But to walk around the world is much different. We
get it, buddy. Yeah, there's a middle ground. Walk around
that middle ground. That's amazing. This guy did this, make
it happen?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
That question that will open you know what.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I would rather sleep for twenty seven years than walk
around the earth for twenty seven years, I think. You know,
some days I think I could sleep or such, twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Years sod like, especially lately for me.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm freezing all the time. Man, do you have an
electric blanket at home? Now? Oh, buddy, you got to
spend forty eight dollars or whatever it is and get one.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I got a wife who's always hot.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, in mine too. My wife has like three fans
that she turns on. Looks it turns into a ford
wind tunnel.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
Then that fan, the air moving air just dries your
throat out in your nose at night.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
God, that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But electric blanket, man, that is the key to life.
Not by one tonight. Electric blanket. Oh you cranked that
up in the morning. Oh, it just cooks you. You
cooked in this thing.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
We heard from one of our listeners there's a freeway
closure right down near sand del Mar in San Diego,
and it's not good, not good. So if you're in
that area, there's not a lot of ways around this.
I'll tell you where that closure is. It's right almost
(07:58):
in del Mar.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I think it's four.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's the five road closed and the five northbound at
Delmar Heights. And so that's a mess. If you're coming
north out of San Diego trying to get to La
you are not happy on the five or the eight
oh five. Wall to wall, bumper to bumper, nasty ass
(08:22):
traffic all the way to del Mar. They're Delmar Heights.
And then once you get past Delmar Heights you are
loving life. Then you were going to pass the racetrack
and you are going to be.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Flying north all the way.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I mean, you may not have another bit of traffic
until you get into Irvine or Santa Anna. So you
just got to get past del Mar and if you
can do that, you'll enjoy yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But it's a challenge right now.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And then if you're on that southbound five near del Mar,
that backs up all the way to Cardiff Encinitas and
that'll take you all the way past del Mar, and
then once you get past del Mar you'll be flying
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
So there's that to worry about.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And then this weekend the four or five in the
Subpulvta Past, it isn't fully closed, but it's going to
feel like it. Significant overnight lane restrictions and reductions and
ramp closures are happening in the Subpulta Pass, reducing it
to three lanes in each direction due to major pavement project.
(09:29):
It's affecting the Getty Center Drive, Scurball Center Drive, and
those on and off ramps will be affected.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So it's a subulvaty pass.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
This weekend, so be aware of that if you're going
out Christmas shopping or whatever you're doing.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It's going to be a mess, a mess, all right,
we got some crime.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Let's go, let's find out what's going on with crimes.
It's you got to bring everybody's attention to this because
it's still going on. Burglaries in southern Calilfornia seem to
be on our radar every single day here at KFI.
Let's find out where these are.
Speaker 11 (10:07):
Well out warehouse for Circa Vintage Rentals is out in
Joshua Tree. The owners are based just a mile away
from the eaten fire where they're eaten fire burned here
in Altadina. How they served the entire area from the
desert over to Malibu. Now they're trying to get back
on their feet. Just violated, but it fell a gut punch.
(10:29):
Oscar Romero describes the moment he realized his warehouse had
been ransacked by brazen thieves. He and his wife Rany
own Circa Vintage Rentals. They rent out unique pieces for events.
Speaker 12 (10:41):
So they took furniture, which is our main source of
income for our inventory.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They took tools, all.
Speaker 12 (10:48):
Of our tools, everything that we need to build or
you know, install, all of our equipment, our supplies, and the.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Way they took this couple's furniture, furniture. How long do
you have to be in the warehouse where you're taking furniture.
Speaker 11 (11:04):
The Romeros say. The burglars hit the warehouse twice in
the days leading up to Thanksgiving, and this surveillance video
shows an attempted third hit.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Wow trips with this warehouse three separate times.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
You can hear the thief here frustrated when he couldn't
get in more reason to going there, Cadam. Among the
business supplies, the Romeros had personal belongings in the warehouse,
including irreplaceable tools from Oscar's late father. Those are you
stuff that I dat accumulated over dozens of years.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Ah, it's sad as hell, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Those tools don't mean anything to anybody else but this cat,
and now they're gone.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And he handed those to me and they're gone.
Speaker 11 (11:49):
For circa vintage rentals. This is just the latest in
a series of ups and downs.
Speaker 12 (11:54):
Our first major blow was the Woolsey fire back in
twenty eighteen, which had a counter effect in twenty ninth.
I've seen all of our cancelations and postponements and all
of that, and then without saying twenty twenty, you know,
hit us all.
Speaker 11 (12:08):
Still, they're determined to keep going to rebuild their inventory
and grow their business.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We're resilient.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
We're we're resilient, not giving up now.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
Being that they're based here, they obviously have a lot
of friends and family who lost a lot in the
eating fire, so they are counting their blessings. They're thankful
if they didn't lose anything in that fire, but this
is really a rough blow to their business. They've created
a go fundme page to try to get back on
their feed.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
You can find a link to that.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
On our website. It happens a lot. You know, people
don't are not working and.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They are out of money, so they got to come
and steal your stuff. Because you worked, you paid your taxes,
you made money, you raised your kids, you did the
right way. And then people don't want to do that,
they don't want to take the time to do that,
so they come in and take all.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Of your stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And it's depressing as hell and happy every night here
in Southern California. And I don't remember a time where
there's been so many robberies and so much burglary going
on as there is in Southern California. Every day you
get home and your house isn't robbed. You have been
blessed that day, every single day, because every day you
(13:21):
go home, you think you're going to walk into a
house that somebody's robbed or hurt your dog or killed
your dog, or you know, stolen your car. And it's
a pain in the ass to come back from this,
especially when you have sentimental stuff like this like this
couple does.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
It is tough. It is really tough.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I do not blame people at all for getting that
gun and loading up and waiting for these cats to
come in and showing them that they got the wrong
house or the wrong business. I don't blame them at all,
or people that just packed up and said screw it,
they're done.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
All right, Well that's where we live, that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
We're all here in southern California, and we're all sitting
ducks waiting for the next guy to come in and
steal all your crap.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Conway Show, Ding Dong. It's going to be freezing out there.
We have almost a full moon. If you're driving east
on any of these freeways, you know, the East freeways,
the two tens, the ten, the ninety one, what is
some mother freeway sixty, the all those freeways. You're going
(14:35):
to see this big, huge moon. And that's a that's
cool deal. It was full last night. It's almost full.
You probably can't tell just by looking at it right now,
but that's a that's a big deal, cool, cool deal.
All right, Christmas lights in Rancho Cuckamonga. You can drive
through and it's only started. It's starting, I think tonight
(14:59):
to night in Rancho Cuckamonga. Find out now that you
take the kids out and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Christmas chair went off the rails in one Inland Empyre neighborhood.
Thousands of people stampede of the neighborhood in Rancho Cucamonga
to see an amazing holiday light show, and now police
have stepped in. Cbsla's Nicole Comstock is live in Rancho
Cucamonga where residents hope to share holiday chair without the chaos.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Nicole.
Speaker 13 (15:25):
Yeah, you know, anytime you have a really large crowd,
you will tend to find a few people in that
crowd misbehaving. So the city here really goes out of
their way now to control the crowds and the traffic.
I do have to admit, though, that I am partial
to the Thoroughbred lights because this is where I also
used to come walking around to see Christmas lights with
my family when I was little. But honestly, it's not
(15:46):
just me. Many families out here agree that this is
a tradition worthy event, and you can tell by how
many people come out year after year.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And Rancho cucka manga for people who have just moved
to Los Angeles. It's essentially off like where the fifteen
and the ten meet.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's between the two.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Ten and the ten, right near the fifteen there, Crozier,
you're out in that area.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And how far are you from Rancho Cucamonga Five.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
To ten miles?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Really?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Man, all right, all right, I believe you.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It used to be my hometown.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Is that one of those cities where Foothill goes right
through it?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah yeah. Foothill used to be
the way to get around out there. That was it
the old route sixty six? Yeah, exactly, starting.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Right around what was it the Diamond Bar or whatever,
or San Dimester should say.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And you can see that's the only place at least
in California that I know of, and there's probably thousands
that I don't know of, but that have gas stations
in neighborhoods. You know, there's you know, five hundred houses
surrounded all of a sudden there's a gas station that
pops up.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
If you are on Foothill Boulevard specifically, there's a couple
of intersections there, I think, like Vineyard or Archibald or
something like that, where they still have the old gas
stations that day, right, they fix them up, but there's
still the old ones from.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Like a hundred years ago. Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, it is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, a little convenience store in a gas station right
the neighborhood, Yes, sir. Anyway, it's going on in Rancho Cucamonga.
Let's get some more information. What's going on out there
Rancho Cucka Manga. With this big light display, it's.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Beginning to look and sound man.
Speaker 13 (17:23):
A lot like Christmas in Rancho Cucka Manga at one
of the largest and most elaborate Holy light displays in
all of southern California, the iconic Thoroughbred lights.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I think she's a nice she loves it.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
It's really beautiful here.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I like to get hot chockln.
Speaker 12 (17:40):
I try to bring them out with the walking part,
because it's the best time where you can see all
the light, all the details and everything.
Speaker 13 (17:45):
Tonight families are mobbing down Thoroughbred Jeanette and Troupoi streets
on foot, in wagons and atop shoulders, lack light before black.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
Are you tired?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yes, we need a lot of anergy to stay up to.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh that's great, man. The kids love this. They love
this time of year. They spend more time with mom
and dad. You go to these lighting things. There's one
out at sant Nita. This one's out and ranch a Cuckamonga.
There's a couple here in the San Fernando Valley. Kids
get so excited.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
Would you get on my shoulders or would I get
on yours? I'd have to get on yours.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I would crumble if anybody got on my shoulders, just
like a wet rag. I would crumble quicker than the
United States is going to lose in the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
They already did.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
They've already chucked up two losses. They already threw in
the towel. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 13 (18:35):
It's the last night in December that visitors can walk
it before it turns into it right through only event
for the rest of this season.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Okay, all right, you can't drive through after tonight, you
can know, I mean, you can't walk through after night.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You got to drive through. So but that's cool.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Put the kids in the car and drive them through.
You will have memories forever in taking your kids to
see Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Like, yeah, that Thoroughbred one in cuckamong is one of
the bigger one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, they that things.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Evolved over the years. Do you take Sydney to that one?
Speaker 12 (19:04):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Yeah, we used to get They also do Halloween there
as well, so we would go there and do a
trick or treating there.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Some of my favorite memories as a child were going
with my mom and dad to see Christmas lights, you know,
just even we would get in the car and just
drive around the neighborhoods. You not even go to a
big display.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I don't think I knew anything like that when you should.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But I bet you did that with Sydney a lot.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I stuck her in the car and you went around.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, there was one down in China that was big.
Like I said, thoroughbred there in Cuckamonga. Yeah, there's some
big ones.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I used to put my daughter and two or three
of her friends in the car and we would drive
around for an hour and.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
A half, you know, two hours just looking at lights.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
They would have, you know, their eyes would be wide
and look at the displays.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Was great.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
There's that one over there right by Santa Anita. The
the the gardens there a right, that's oh yeah, yeah,
that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I did that a year or two. Botanic garden. Yeah,
the gardens are out there. That's a really a good one.
That's where they have that that flower that stinks every
couple of years.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, people go out there and to smell a flower
that smells like, you know, two week old hamburger.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Never really got that.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Let's go there.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah wait, so I'm gonna pay for that? Yeah? How
much is it? Twenty eight dollars? Why don't I just
go buy ten dollars worth of beef and leave it
on the counter for two weeks or just not flush.
You can have that smell. You can have that smell
right your home, right, nobody flush. We want to get
that flower, so that's right. If it's brown, don't flush
it down, just go smell it like that flower.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
We've been doing it since they were born.
Speaker 14 (20:35):
There's been a family tradition I've been doing he's seven
and she's nine.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
We like to see the lights and it gets his ideas.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm telling you, as a parent and crociable second this,
you are not going to have better memories than taking
the kids out to see Christmas lights.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It is a really cool.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Deal because it's so cool.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
We know that this even they agree because it's so cool. Yeah,
just said that. She's right or he We.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Know that this is even more special to them, knowing
how much they just love seeing Christmas. The city says
an estimated five to ten thousand cars travel through these
streets each day during the busiest periods of the event,
and with thousands more on foot, things got a little
too chaotic. Over the decades. There were pedestrian safety issues,
glittering and people using the bathroom on horse trails and
(21:23):
near homes.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Glittering when you go to see the Christmas lights is
really a no no. And then people are just throwing
the deuce on the trail.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Where are we? What happened?
Speaker 13 (21:40):
The issues glittering and people using the bathroom on horse
trails and near homes.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Great, welcome to the neighborhood. God almighty, oh wow wow?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Yeah pretty much so.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
The drive through only after December fifth addresses all of that,
but many families who've done both say walking through is
just more magical.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
Oh my gosh, it's better to see than.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
It's hell because you get the sea up close. Wait
times for the drive through, can.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, what are you seeing up clothes? Guy that just messed.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Himself, because you get the sea up close.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Oh my god.
Speaker 13 (22:18):
Wait times for the drive through. It can be two hours,
with another hour and a half cruised through the houses
and a backup all the way to the two ten
a mile south of here.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Wow, so it's a four hour event. I understand. Then
throwing the deuce on the.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Trail, it's yeah, it's ridiculous, so mighty. It used to be.
It used to be much more.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
You could walk, but no, no, no, they want people cruising
through that thing.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Now that's a lot, ten thousand cars.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
It's ridiculous. I haven't done it in a couple of
years because it's just gotten too much.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's a four hour deal.
Speaker 9 (22:47):
Yeah, very much so, it was really cool when you
could walk it. And then yeah, they stopped doing that
just because it got too much of a hassle. And
when you walked it, people that own those houses they
would set up you know, like hot chocolate that's Molly's.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
They used to do with There was candy Cane Lane
and Tarzana. Yeah, they used to you drive through that
and they'd ask people to shut their lights off, you know,
so you can get the full experience.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
Yeah, there was, and a plug for Clairemont because Claremont
has the Rancho the Botanic Garden there at the Rancho
Centers School. Yeah, and they do this thing called Luminaria
Nights at the Botanic Garden there where they just have
like lights all over the place and music and the
snacks and stuff like that. So that's one option in Claremont.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
There, Buddy. I'm so jealous of you.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I used to live in Seal Beach and I'd go
home on a Friday. I would have you know, a
shot of vodka at home, and then we'd walk to
downtown Seal Beach.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
And I'm so jealous that you and your wife get
to do that. Every weekend.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Yeah, if we stay in California when we're done with
all this work and stuff, it's a high priority to
be in a place that's walkable.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Like, yeah, it's got tons of it's important.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, but you know, knowing that you're going home to Claremont,
you know, throwing a jacket on and going to downtown
to have a couple of pops. That's the way to
go in California. Yeah, that is the way to roll.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
The Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
The big story here in Los Angeles and in the
entertainment business, of course, is the Warner Brothers deal. The
Warner Brothers deal, Netflix historic Warner Brothers acquisition will transform
Hollywood and the streaming wars. It's going to raise and
I trust questions. Hopefully that doesn't last too long, but
(24:40):
it's going to be. It's a big, big deal, especially
here in southern California. And I know that NBC has
been all over it locally here, CBS and ABC have
as well, and KTLA. But there was one news outlet
I was watching that had a very whole story on it.
(25:01):
I just barely even talked about it. But this is
a big, big deal, you know, to have Netflix spend
eighty two point seven billion dollars in acquiring Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
That's a major deal, man, big big deal.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
All Right, we're getting a lot of people complaining, and
I'm with you. Down in Delmar, I've had some texts
of people I know that live down that area, and
there's a traffic jam there that will rival all traffic jams.
It is miles and miles and miles in both directions
on the five Freeway right there at Delmar Heights. Now
(25:43):
there's a rumor going around that there's somebody jumping off
an overpass wanting to kill himself for herself, probably himself,
and that's what's causing a lot of this traffic in
del Mar. So if you're on the five Freeway going
north at del Mar, that's closed, I don't know if
it's reopened yet. And southbound is a mess as well
(26:06):
at Delmar Heights, which is the first exit south of
the del Mar exit, if you're going southbound on the
five Freeway. Okay, let's get some more information on what's
going on there, because we do have a lot of
listeners who live in that del Mar, San Diego area.
Speaker 15 (26:20):
Yes, a major backup on I five near del Mar.
Thanks for joining us on NBC seven News at four
on this Friday.
Speaker 16 (26:27):
I'm Mona Gadine and I'm Jackie Krea in for Catherine Garcia.
So a sigal art is in effect due to police
activity that's been going on since eleven thirty this morning. Wow, traffic,
as you can see, is at a stand still as
thousands of drivers try to get to where they're going
on the start of a busy weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Since eleven thirty.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
So it's seven o'clock, so that's a half hours, seven
and a half hours this has been going on.
Speaker 16 (26:51):
This was mostly on the northbound side, but now southbound
is also shut down. We're told some drivers have been
stuck in traffic for two hours or more. War Highway
Control and San Diego Police are on seat.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
They've got to get this together.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
That you cannot shut that freeway down for seven and
a half hours on a Friday.
Speaker 15 (27:09):
Here's a live look for you right now from sky
Ranger seven.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
No word on when.
Speaker 15 (27:14):
These lanes could open back up, and you can see
the backup just goes on and on and on and
not moving at all. If you know someone who takes
the Five at this hour, give them a call, let
them know to avoid this area at all costs. This
is having an impact on some of our other freeways
as people look to divert and avoid the situation. As
(27:36):
newschopper sort of pans down, you can see your pans
up there. You can see just how long this backup
is stretching at four o'clock on a Friday into a
busy holiday weekend.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
NBC seven's meteorologist Brook Martel, this is the worst.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm looking at it right now, and it looks like
the road is closed here in both directions at Delmar Heights.
Delmar Heights is the first exit south of del Mar,
So if you're going southbound on the five freeway, you'll
pass the exit to get to the I think it's
via Dela Via is the exit for Delmar Racetrack, So
(28:14):
you'll pass that going about zero miles an hour, and
then you'll come up on Delmar Heights and that's the
next exit, and.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That's the way.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
They got a really great shopping mall there sort of
an outdoor mall there on High Bluff Street. There's a
pinpoint cafe I remember because my dad used to have
a house in that area, and that's a really cool
hang and there's some cool shops around there, Cafe Pascal's there,
(28:45):
and so if you're stocked as well, pull over and
spend a couple hours there because you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Delmar Heights closed.
Speaker 15 (28:53):
Let's get over to you for a closer look at
the backup and what the surrounding freeways are looking like.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Right, yeah, definitely Monica and Jackie.
Speaker 14 (28:59):
I mean, kind of a nightmare situation here on a
Friday afternoon, so you could see it here. What that
live look from sky Ranger seven, the backup. Let's take
a closer look here outside of that live picture, I
want to show your traffic maps what we have going on.
So this is just zooming into that area.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
And this is not getting better. This is getting worse
since eleven thirty seven to seven and a half hours
ago this started, and it's worse now than it was then.
Speaker 14 (29:22):
First and foremost, the latest development on both you.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Can't close the five freeway on a Friday, whatever the
mess is down there. You got to get that cat
off the freeway. What do you got to do? Put
a net over them and drag his ass off the freeway.
You can't close the freeway out on the five on
a Friday.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Both sides.
Speaker 14 (29:37):
Now we're at all northbound and southbound lanes on Interstate
five shut down at Delmar Heights Road, and it's not
area that's highlighted there in that purple. But again also
concerning the southbound so if you are commuting south on
the five, we're starting to see that backup, and it's
continuing to increase here, but really right at Loma Santa
Fe Drive. And then also for those commuters heading north here, well,
(29:58):
if you're talking about here at the eight oh five
north traffic.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That yep, aight O five's a ft up.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
The five is banged up, and you are pulling your
hair out.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's an amazing lack of decision making.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
If I was down there, i'd pull that cat off
the freeway. That sucker had been open at noon. So
I don't know what's going on down there, but it's
a mess. It's gonna people are gonna be talking about
this all weekend. They can't get home to their kids,
they can't get home to their family. It's Friday. You
want to get home to start celebrating the holidays, going
out and getting a tree maybe tonight. And that's all
(30:36):
off because of what's going on on del.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Mar Heights, the absolute worst. All Right, we're live. Who's
next here?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I think it's Lou Penrose Penrose and Mark Ronner of course, right, Timmy,
are you.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Doing a movie review tonight? No? I haven't done those
in a while for some strange You got to come
on with us and do that. We can do that out.
I think that. I think we're onto something. Okay, thank you.
All right.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I appreciate a reviewer in La Mark Ronner, I would
take that. Are you over anybody else doing movie reviews
or TV reviews?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, bless you. You are the best guy. I appreciate
you saying you're the king.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
All Right, We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway
Show on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Now you can always
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Hear us live on KFI AM six forty four to
seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on

Speaker 1 (00:11):
A lot of people are going to buy their Christmas
tree tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. This is going to be
the biggest weekend in the United States to go out
and buy your tree. Hey, there's a there's like a
sidewalk sale going on Inteluca Lake right now, started at
five o'clock and then goes on till eight. And I
will be there at Dylan Keith Salon. It's one zero
(00:36):
two one six Riverside Drive.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Not the one we did a few years ago from
Yeah exactly, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, I'll be there at the seven thirty, So come
on buy.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Shut the whole street down there.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh no, that's the Magnolia one that we did. I
don't know if they shut down Riverside Driver, I don't
think they have the Monday to do.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Then.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
This is at Dylan Keith one zero two one six
Riverside Drive. It's just a block west of the Trader
Joe's there. Ah, and my wife's got a little boots,
so I'm going to go buy. And I don't know
buy something. I'll buy something from her.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
From her, he just finds some people go, hey, go
buy something from Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Here's a twenty seven thirty eight thirty one zero two
one six Riversent drive. So I'll be out there. I'm
not going to be walking around locks. It's going to
be freezing. But how about this guy who walked around
the Earth. It took him twenty seven years to walk
around the planet, and he's coming to an end and
(01:32):
he's thinking about walking back.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
And this guy, Carl Bushby, really is the ultimate globetrotter,
if you will, walking across continents, but walking also across
time sponsored by a lot about your brands. I mean,
what have you been doing since the year nineteen ninety eight,
because that is when he started walking?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Had he started in nineteen ninety eight to walk around
the entire planet twenty seven years ago.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
He had two rules, he calls him simple. He couldn't
use any mechanical transport, and he would not go home
until he got there on foot.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Since Carl Bushby started walking NonStop across the planet in
nineteen ninety eight, the world has changed, but human kindness,
he says, has not. Since his first few days on
the road in Chile.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
His indigenous coach has brought me in that sat me down,
foot plates of food in front of me, and then
you know, tea and thank you very much, and then left.
Found nothing but the best in those twenty seven years,
which has just been remarkable.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Twenty seven years every day walking around the earth for what.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
In that time? Bushby has walked about thirty thousand miles. Wow,
from the age of twenty nine. He's marked a generation
of birthdays on the road and turned fifty six this year.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So he's fifty six. He started twenty seven years ago.
When is that twenty nine thirty? That would have him
at fifty seven. Yeah, so twenty nine years old. So
once he finishes this walk, do you think he'll walk
back another twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Years traversing up the Americas, across the US to Russia,
then Asia and now Europe. Why? How?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Life?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's a great question. I think that's the only question.
Can really, you know, ask this guy why?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah? And maybe in that tone, why why?
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Our lives are short?
Speaker 6 (03:30):
And I've always wanted to live it to the fullest
where I can.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Bushby has lived more than most of us might ever
dare one of the scariest things happened early on. In
two thousand, he crossed the dangerous Darien Gap, the only
way to pass from South to Central America.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, good luck trying to get through there.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
WUFA through the middle of the war zone, and there's
a whole layer above that of cartels and good plantations
and then really really jungle.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
He later traversed the Bearing Street from Alaska to Siberia,
becoming the first brit to do so, and had a
run in with a polar bear.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
You have a very serious world that will kill you
in twenty minutes if you mess up.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Barred from walking through Russia or Iran, he swam the
Caspian Sea, the first person to do so.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Wow, man, this.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Guy's dedicated twenty seven years walking around the earth.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Nearly two hundred miles in a month, and now to
get home he may have to swim again the English
Channel from France.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
But swim It sucks, dude, it just sucks. I'm not
a swim at all.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Well, you don't also have to do it, you know,
you can push you to do this. Yeah, take a
get a if you have, you know, forty eight dollars
to get on the chunnel and take the train.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Then physical challenges aside. Bushby says there were emotional ones too, twice.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
What's both in circumstances? Wait?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
What happened to us two twice?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What did he say there? I did something twice twice?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
What's both in circumisconsin?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, I'm not getting it.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Just hard to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I think he's lost his sense of being able to
verbalize itself. Yeah, for twenty seven years.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
On the road like this, was there ever a time
with family or close friends where you thought, you know what,
I got to go back?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
So it was understood that I think if any of
them died, I wouldn't be there.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
As simple as that.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Technological adaptations were needed as well. In twenty thirteen, he
bought his first touchscreen device.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
In the early days, you are pretty acland now you
couldn't hide if you tried.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Buck on the.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Coral started his TikTok just this summer and has more
than three hundred and fifty thousand followers. As he hits
his home stretch, how does.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
It feel uncomfortable realizing that?
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is it going to end up in England? I think
he's in France now or in Spain. He's going to
end up in England.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Anyone who's had a light time and you have any
time to retire.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
What's what's the lesson you want to share?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, don't to steal a word from Joe Biden, don't.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Don't be it preak.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, don't, don't don't don't just don't.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Don't be it preak. Get up the couch, get out
of bed.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Okay, all right, I understand the message get off the couch.
But to walk around the world is much different. We
get it, buddy. Yeah, there's a middle ground. Walk around
that middle ground. That's amazing. This guy did this, make
it happen?
Speaker 7 (06:35):
That question that will open you know what.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I would rather sleep for twenty seven years than walk
around the earth for twenty seven years, I think. You know,
some days I think I could sleep or such, twenty seven.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Years sod like, especially lately for me.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I'm freezing all the time. Man, do you have an
electric blanket at home? Now? Oh, buddy, you got to
spend forty eight dollars or whatever it is and get one.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I got a wife who's always hot.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, in mine too. My wife has like three fans
that she turns on. Looks it turns into a ford
wind tunnel.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
Then that fan, the air moving air just dries your
throat out in your nose at night.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
God, that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But electric blanket, man, that is the key to life.
Not by one tonight. Electric blanket. Oh you cranked that
up in the morning. Oh, it just cooks you. You
cooked in this thing.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
We heard from one of our listeners there's a freeway
closure right down near sand del Mar in San Diego,
and it's not good, not good. So if you're in
that area, there's not a lot of ways around this.
I'll tell you where that closure is. It's right almost
(07:58):
in del Mar.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I think it's four.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's the five road closed and the five northbound at
Delmar Heights. And so that's a mess. If you're coming
north out of San Diego trying to get to La
you are not happy on the five or the eight
oh five. Wall to wall, bumper to bumper, nasty ass
(08:22):
traffic all the way to del Mar. They're Delmar Heights.
And then once you get past Delmar Heights you are
loving life. Then you were going to pass the racetrack
and you are going to be.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Flying north all the way.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I mean, you may not have another bit of traffic
until you get into Irvine or Santa Anna. So you
just got to get past del Mar and if you
can do that, you'll enjoy yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But it's a challenge right now.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And then if you're on that southbound five near del Mar,
that backs up all the way to Cardiff Encinitas and
that'll take you all the way past del Mar, and
then once you get past del Mar you'll be flying
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
So there's that to worry about.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And then this weekend the four or five in the
Subpulvta Past, it isn't fully closed, but it's going to
feel like it. Significant overnight lane restrictions and reductions and
ramp closures are happening in the Subpulta Pass, reducing it
to three lanes in each direction due to major pavement project.
(09:29):
It's affecting the Getty Center Drive, Scurball Center Drive, and
those on and off ramps will be affected.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So it's a subulvaty pass.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
This weekend, so be aware of that if you're going
out Christmas shopping or whatever you're doing.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It's going to be a mess, a mess, all right,
we got some crime.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Let's go, let's find out what's going on with crimes.
It's you got to bring everybody's attention to this because
it's still going on. Burglaries in southern Calilfornia seem to
be on our radar every single day here at KFI.
Let's find out where these are.
Speaker 11 (10:07):
Well out warehouse for Circa Vintage Rentals is out in
Joshua Tree. The owners are based just a mile away
from the eaten fire where they're eaten fire burned here
in Altadina. How they served the entire area from the
desert over to Malibu. Now they're trying to get back
on their feet. Just violated, but it fell a gut punch.
(10:29):
Oscar Romero describes the moment he realized his warehouse had
been ransacked by brazen thieves. He and his wife Rany
own Circa Vintage Rentals. They rent out unique pieces for events.
Speaker 12 (10:41):
So they took furniture, which is our main source of
income for our inventory.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They took tools, all.
Speaker 12 (10:48):
Of our tools, everything that we need to build or
you know, install, all of our equipment, our supplies, and the.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Way they took this couple's furniture, furniture. How long do
you have to be in the warehouse where you're taking furniture.
Speaker 11 (11:04):
The Romeros say. The burglars hit the warehouse twice in
the days leading up to Thanksgiving, and this surveillance video
shows an attempted third hit.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Wow trips with this warehouse three separate times.
Speaker 11 (11:19):
You can hear the thief here frustrated when he couldn't
get in more reason to going there, Cadam. Among the
business supplies, the Romeros had personal belongings in the warehouse,
including irreplaceable tools from Oscar's late father. Those are you
stuff that I dat accumulated over dozens of years.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Ah, it's sad as hell, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Those tools don't mean anything to anybody else but this cat,
and now they're gone.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And he handed those to me and they're gone.
Speaker 11 (11:49):
For circa vintage rentals. This is just the latest in
a series of ups and downs.
Speaker 12 (11:54):
Our first major blow was the Woolsey fire back in
twenty eighteen, which had a counter effect in twenty ninth.
I've seen all of our cancelations and postponements and all
of that, and then without saying twenty twenty, you know,
hit us all.
Speaker 11 (12:08):
Still, they're determined to keep going to rebuild their inventory
and grow their business.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
We're resilient.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
We're we're resilient, not giving up now.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
Being that they're based here, they obviously have a lot
of friends and family who lost a lot in the
eating fire, so they are counting their blessings. They're thankful
if they didn't lose anything in that fire, but this
is really a rough blow to their business. They've created
a go fundme page to try to get back on
their feed.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
You can find a link to that.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
On our website. It happens a lot. You know, people
don't are not working and.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They are out of money, so they got to come
and steal your stuff. Because you worked, you paid your taxes,
you made money, you raised your kids, you did the
right way. And then people don't want to do that,
they don't want to take the time to do that,
so they come in and take all.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Of your stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And it's depressing as hell and happy every night here
in Southern California. And I don't remember a time where
there's been so many robberies and so much burglary going
on as there is in Southern California. Every day you
get home and your house isn't robbed. You have been
blessed that day, every single day, because every day you
(13:21):
go home, you think you're going to walk into a
house that somebody's robbed or hurt your dog or killed
your dog, or you know, stolen your car. And it's
a pain in the ass to come back from this,
especially when you have sentimental stuff like this like this
couple does.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
It is tough. It is really tough.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I do not blame people at all for getting that
gun and loading up and waiting for these cats to
come in and showing them that they got the wrong
house or the wrong business. I don't blame them at all,
or people that just packed up and said screw it,
they're done.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
All right, Well that's where we live, that's where we are.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
We're all here in southern California, and we're all sitting
ducks waiting for the next guy to come in and
steal all your crap.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Conway Show, Ding Dong. It's going to be freezing out there.
We have almost a full moon. If you're driving east
on any of these freeways, you know, the East freeways,
the two tens, the ten, the ninety one, what is
some mother freeway sixty, the all those freeways. You're going
(14:35):
to see this big, huge moon. And that's a that's
cool deal. It was full last night. It's almost full.
You probably can't tell just by looking at it right now,
but that's a that's a big deal, cool, cool deal.
All right, Christmas lights in Rancho Cuckamonga. You can drive
through and it's only started. It's starting, I think tonight
(14:59):
to night in Rancho Cuckamonga. Find out now that you
take the kids out and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Christmas chair went off the rails in one Inland Empyre neighborhood.
Thousands of people stampede of the neighborhood in Rancho Cucamonga
to see an amazing holiday light show, and now police
have stepped in. Cbsla's Nicole Comstock is live in Rancho
Cucamonga where residents hope to share holiday chair without the chaos.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Nicole.
Speaker 13 (15:25):
Yeah, you know, anytime you have a really large crowd,
you will tend to find a few people in that
crowd misbehaving. So the city here really goes out of
their way now to control the crowds and the traffic.
I do have to admit, though, that I am partial
to the Thoroughbred lights because this is where I also
used to come walking around to see Christmas lights with
my family when I was little. But honestly, it's not
(15:46):
just me. Many families out here agree that this is
a tradition worthy event, and you can tell by how
many people come out year after year.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And Rancho cucka manga for people who have just moved
to Los Angeles. It's essentially off like where the fifteen
and the ten meet.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It's between the two.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Ten and the ten, right near the fifteen there, Crozier,
you're out in that area.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And how far are you from Rancho Cucamonga Five.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
To ten miles?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Really?
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Man, all right, all right, I believe you.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It used to be my hometown.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Is that one of those cities where Foothill goes right
through it?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah yeah. Foothill used to be
the way to get around out there. That was it
the old route sixty six? Yeah, exactly, starting.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Right around what was it the Diamond Bar or whatever,
or San Dimester should say.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And you can see that's the only place at least
in California that I know of, and there's probably thousands
that I don't know of, but that have gas stations
in neighborhoods. You know, there's you know, five hundred houses
surrounded all of a sudden there's a gas station that
pops up.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
If you are on Foothill Boulevard specifically, there's a couple
of intersections there, I think, like Vineyard or Archibald or
something like that, where they still have the old gas
stations that day, right, they fix them up, but there's
still the old ones from.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Like a hundred years ago. Wow, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, it is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, a little convenience store in a gas station right
the neighborhood, Yes, sir. Anyway, it's going on in Rancho Cucamonga.
Let's get some more information. What's going on out there
Rancho Cucka Manga. With this big light display, it's.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Beginning to look and sound man.
Speaker 13 (17:23):
A lot like Christmas in Rancho Cucka Manga at one
of the largest and most elaborate Holy light displays in
all of southern California, the iconic Thoroughbred lights.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I think she's a nice she loves it.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
It's really beautiful here.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I like to get hot chockln.
Speaker 12 (17:40):
I try to bring them out with the walking part,
because it's the best time where you can see all
the light, all the details and everything.
Speaker 13 (17:45):
Tonight families are mobbing down Thoroughbred Jeanette and Troupoi streets
on foot, in wagons and atop shoulders, lack light before black.
Speaker 12 (17:55):
Are you tired?
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yes, we need a lot of anergy to stay up to.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Oh that's great, man. The kids love this. They love
this time of year. They spend more time with mom
and dad. You go to these lighting things. There's one
out at sant Nita. This one's out and ranch a Cuckamonga.
There's a couple here in the San Fernando Valley. Kids
get so excited.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
Would you get on my shoulders or would I get
on yours? I'd have to get on yours.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I would crumble if anybody got on my shoulders, just
like a wet rag. I would crumble quicker than the
United States is going to lose in the World Cup.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
They already did.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
They've already chucked up two losses. They already threw in
the towel. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 13 (18:35):
It's the last night in December that visitors can walk
it before it turns into it right through only event
for the rest of this season.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Okay, all right, you can't drive through after tonight, you
can know, I mean, you can't walk through after night.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You got to drive through. So but that's cool.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Put the kids in the car and drive them through.
You will have memories forever in taking your kids to
see Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Like, yeah, that Thoroughbred one in cuckamong is one of
the bigger one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, they that things.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Evolved over the years. Do you take Sydney to that one?
Speaker 12 (19:04):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (19:04):
Yeah, we used to get They also do Halloween there
as well, so we would go there and do a
trick or treating there.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Some of my favorite memories as a child were going
with my mom and dad to see Christmas lights, you know,
just even we would get in the car and just
drive around the neighborhoods. You not even go to a
big display.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I don't think I knew anything like that when you should.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But I bet you did that with Sydney a lot.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I stuck her in the car and you went around.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, there was one down in China that was big.
Like I said, thoroughbred there in Cuckamonga. Yeah, there's some
big ones.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I used to put my daughter and two or three
of her friends in the car and we would drive
around for an hour and.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
A half, you know, two hours just looking at lights.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
They would have, you know, their eyes would be wide
and look at the displays.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Was great.
Speaker 9 (19:48):
There's that one over there right by Santa Anita. The
the the gardens there a right, that's oh yeah, yeah,
that's really cool.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I did that a year or two. Botanic garden. Yeah,
the gardens are out there. That's a really a good one.
That's where they have that that flower that stinks every
couple of years.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, people go out there and to smell a flower
that smells like, you know, two week old hamburger.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Never really got that.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Let's go there.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah wait, so I'm gonna pay for that? Yeah? How
much is it? Twenty eight dollars? Why don't I just
go buy ten dollars worth of beef and leave it
on the counter for two weeks or just not flush.
You can have that smell. You can have that smell
right your home, right, nobody flush. We want to get
that flower, so that's right. If it's brown, don't flush
it down, just go smell it like that flower.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
We've been doing it since they were born.
Speaker 14 (20:35):
There's been a family tradition I've been doing he's seven
and she's nine.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
We like to see the lights and it gets his ideas.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm telling you, as a parent and crociable second this,
you are not going to have better memories than taking
the kids out to see Christmas lights.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It is a really cool.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Deal because it's so cool.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
We know that this even they agree because it's so cool. Yeah,
just said that. She's right or he We.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
Know that this is even more special to them, knowing
how much they just love seeing Christmas. The city says
an estimated five to ten thousand cars travel through these
streets each day during the busiest periods of the event,
and with thousands more on foot, things got a little
too chaotic. Over the decades. There were pedestrian safety issues,
glittering and people using the bathroom on horse trails and
(21:23):
near homes.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Glittering when you go to see the Christmas lights is
really a no no. And then people are just throwing
the deuce on the trail.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Where are we? What happened?
Speaker 13 (21:40):
The issues glittering and people using the bathroom on horse
trails and near homes.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Great, welcome to the neighborhood. God almighty, oh wow wow?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Yeah pretty much so.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
The drive through only after December fifth addresses all of that,
but many families who've done both say walking through is
just more magical.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
Oh my gosh, it's better to see than.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
It's hell because you get the sea up close. Wait
times for the drive through, can.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, what are you seeing up clothes? Guy that just messed.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Himself, because you get the sea up close.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Oh my god.
Speaker 13 (22:18):
Wait times for the drive through. It can be two hours,
with another hour and a half cruised through the houses
and a backup all the way to the two ten
a mile south of here.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Wow, so it's a four hour event. I understand. Then
throwing the deuce on the.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Trail, it's yeah, it's ridiculous, so mighty. It used to be.
It used to be much more.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
You could walk, but no, no, no, they want people cruising
through that thing.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Now that's a lot, ten thousand cars.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
It's ridiculous. I haven't done it in a couple of
years because it's just gotten too much.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's a four hour deal.
Speaker 9 (22:47):
Yeah, very much so, it was really cool when you
could walk it. And then yeah, they stopped doing that
just because it got too much of a hassle. And
when you walked it, people that own those houses they
would set up you know, like hot chocolate that's Molly's.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
So you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
They used to do with There was candy Cane Lane
and Tarzana. Yeah, they used to you drive through that
and they'd ask people to shut their lights off, you know,
so you can get the full experience.
Speaker 9 (23:12):
Yeah, there was, and a plug for Clairemont because Claremont
has the Rancho the Botanic Garden there at the Rancho
Centers School. Yeah, and they do this thing called Luminaria
Nights at the Botanic Garden there where they just have
like lights all over the place and music and the
snacks and stuff like that. So that's one option in Claremont.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
There, Buddy. I'm so jealous of you.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I used to live in Seal Beach and I'd go
home on a Friday. I would have you know, a
shot of vodka at home, and then we'd walk to
downtown Seal Beach.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
And I'm so jealous that you and your wife get
to do that. Every weekend.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Yeah, if we stay in California when we're done with
all this work and stuff, it's a high priority to
be in a place that's walkable.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Like, yeah, it's got tons of it's important.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, but you know, knowing that you're going home to Claremont,
you know, throwing a jacket on and going to downtown
to have a couple of pops. That's the way to
go in California. Yeah, that is the way to roll.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
The Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
The big story here in Los Angeles and in the
entertainment business, of course, is the Warner Brothers deal. The
Warner Brothers deal, Netflix historic Warner Brothers acquisition will transform
Hollywood and the streaming wars. It's going to raise and
I trust questions. Hopefully that doesn't last too long, but
(24:40):
it's going to be. It's a big, big deal, especially
here in southern California. And I know that NBC has
been all over it locally here, CBS and ABC have
as well, and KTLA. But there was one news outlet
I was watching that had a very whole story on it.
(25:01):
I just barely even talked about it. But this is
a big, big deal, you know, to have Netflix spend
eighty two point seven billion dollars in acquiring Warner Brothers.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
That's a major deal, man, big big deal.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
All Right, we're getting a lot of people complaining, and
I'm with you. Down in Delmar, I've had some texts
of people I know that live down that area, and
there's a traffic jam there that will rival all traffic jams.
It is miles and miles and miles in both directions
on the five Freeway right there at Delmar Heights. Now
(25:43):
there's a rumor going around that there's somebody jumping off
an overpass wanting to kill himself for herself, probably himself,
and that's what's causing a lot of this traffic in
del Mar. So if you're on the five Freeway going
north at del Mar, that's closed, I don't know if
it's reopened yet. And southbound is a mess as well
(26:06):
at Delmar Heights, which is the first exit south of
the del Mar exit, if you're going southbound on the
five Freeway. Okay, let's get some more information on what's
going on there, because we do have a lot of
listeners who live in that del Mar, San Diego area.
Speaker 15 (26:20):
Yes, a major backup on I five near del Mar.
Thanks for joining us on NBC seven News at four
on this Friday.
Speaker 16 (26:27):
I'm Mona Gadine and I'm Jackie Krea in for Catherine Garcia.
So a sigal art is in effect due to police
activity that's been going on since eleven thirty this morning. Wow, traffic,
as you can see, is at a stand still as
thousands of drivers try to get to where they're going
on the start of a busy weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Since eleven thirty.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
So it's seven o'clock, so that's a half hours, seven
and a half hours this has been going on.
Speaker 16 (26:51):
This was mostly on the northbound side, but now southbound
is also shut down. We're told some drivers have been
stuck in traffic for two hours or more. War Highway
Control and San Diego Police are on seat.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
They've got to get this together.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
That you cannot shut that freeway down for seven and
a half hours on a Friday.
Speaker 15 (27:09):
Here's a live look for you right now from sky
Ranger seven.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
No word on when.
Speaker 15 (27:14):
These lanes could open back up, and you can see
the backup just goes on and on and on and
not moving at all. If you know someone who takes
the Five at this hour, give them a call, let
them know to avoid this area at all costs. This
is having an impact on some of our other freeways
as people look to divert and avoid the situation. As
(27:36):
newschopper sort of pans down, you can see your pans
up there. You can see just how long this backup
is stretching at four o'clock on a Friday into a
busy holiday weekend.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
NBC seven's meteorologist Brook Martel, this is the worst.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm looking at it right now, and it looks like
the road is closed here in both directions at Delmar Heights.
Delmar Heights is the first exit south of del Mar,
So if you're going southbound on the five freeway, you'll
pass the exit to get to the I think it's
via Dela Via is the exit for Delmar Racetrack, So
(28:14):
you'll pass that going about zero miles an hour, and
then you'll come up on Delmar Heights and that's the
next exit, and.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
That's the way.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
They got a really great shopping mall there sort of
an outdoor mall there on High Bluff Street. There's a
pinpoint cafe I remember because my dad used to have
a house in that area, and that's a really cool
hang and there's some cool shops around there, Cafe Pascal's there,
(28:45):
and so if you're stocked as well, pull over and
spend a couple hours there because you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Delmar Heights closed.
Speaker 15 (28:53):
Let's get over to you for a closer look at
the backup and what the surrounding freeways are looking like.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Right, yeah, definitely Monica and Jackie.
Speaker 14 (28:59):
I mean, kind of a nightmare situation here on a
Friday afternoon, so you could see it here. What that
live look from sky Ranger seven, the backup. Let's take
a closer look here outside of that live picture, I
want to show your traffic maps what we have going on.
So this is just zooming into that area.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
And this is not getting better. This is getting worse
since eleven thirty seven to seven and a half hours
ago this started, and it's worse now than it was then.
Speaker 14 (29:22):
First and foremost, the latest development on both you.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Can't close the five freeway on a Friday, whatever the
mess is down there. You got to get that cat
off the freeway. What do you got to do? Put
a net over them and drag his ass off the freeway.
You can't close the freeway out on the five on
a Friday.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Both sides.
Speaker 14 (29:37):
Now we're at all northbound and southbound lanes on Interstate
five shut down at Delmar Heights Road, and it's not
area that's highlighted there in that purple. But again also
concerning the southbound so if you are commuting south on
the five, we're starting to see that backup, and it's
continuing to increase here, but really right at Loma Santa
Fe Drive. And then also for those commuters heading north here, well,
(29:58):
if you're talking about here at the eight oh five
north traffic.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
That yep, aight O five's a ft up.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
The five is banged up, and you are pulling your
hair out.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's an amazing lack of decision making.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
If I was down there, i'd pull that cat off
the freeway. That sucker had been open at noon. So
I don't know what's going on down there, but it's
a mess. It's gonna people are gonna be talking about
this all weekend. They can't get home to their kids,
they can't get home to their family. It's Friday. You
want to get home to start celebrating the holidays, going
out and getting a tree maybe tonight. And that's all
(30:36):
off because of what's going on on del.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Mar Heights, the absolute worst. All Right, we're live. Who's
next here?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I think it's Lou Penrose Penrose and Mark Ronner of course, right, Timmy,
are you.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Doing a movie review tonight? No? I haven't done those
in a while for some strange You got to come
on with us and do that. We can do that out.
I think that. I think we're onto something. Okay, thank you.
All right.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
I appreciate a reviewer in La Mark Ronner, I would
take that. Are you over anybody else doing movie reviews
or TV reviews?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
