Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's CAMF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It
is the Conway Show. All right, We're not going to
fire talk for three hours, but we're certainly gonna start
with it because we have evidence that this fire, the
airport fire in Tribuco Canyon, could have been started by
(00:24):
Orange County workers, which is not good for Orange County.
Steve Kreeger's with US retired fire captain from Los Angeles
County Fire Department. How are you, sir?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Tim ding dong?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm doing dong.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
With you, buddy. Hey, so you and I both read
the same story I believe coming out of Orange County
where the origin of this fire? Is that sound right
to you? I mean you have more experience than I do.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, it's very possible both. They didn't identify was the
cause of the spark. Was it from the rocks touch
front and touching the steel bucket on the tractor, or
a spark from their exhaust. They haven't identified that.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Okay, But the story is that you know a lot
of you know, twenty thirty years ago that was all
land where you could take your three wheeler, four wheeler, motorcycle, whatever,
and enjoy yourself. And then wealthy people moved in and
they don't like the noise, they don't like the action
down there, so they asked the Orange County, Hey, put
(01:23):
a lot of big boulders there. So these guys, these yahoos,
their terms, not mine, can't go up in the hills
with their three and four wheelers and dig up the place.
And they think that the spark came from moving those
big boulders on a red flag, very hot day.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's it's very possible, but they'd be very hard to
determine where that spark came from. But you're absolutely right,
this sounds like more of a law enforcement issue if
they're having trouble with people accessing high fire danger areas.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Sure, yeah, but you know, but maybe it was a look,
I don't know, maybe law enforcement agreed to, you know,
put the boulders up there. But if they simply waited
another five days until the you know, the weather cooperated,
I can't imagine if if that spark got loose today,
you know, on a seventy degree day, they would do
it would do as much damage.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, it's very possible because the fuel moistures. It's not
just the temperature outside, it's the temperature of the fuel.
And also I was just looking at fuel moisture in
the east end of La County and it's at six
point three percent. You started getting down below six percent,
it things ignite very easily. So it's not just the
(02:36):
outside temperatures on that fuel. The dead fuel is dry,
it's going to start very easily from just a spark.
And you know, a spark from either a rock hitting
metal or from exhaust can be one thousand to two
thousand degrees fairy night. Even though it's very small, it's
extremely hot, and in dry fuel like grass, they can
start fire very quickly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
In your experience, when you have big tractors with big
metal buckets moving big boulders, how susceptible. How often does
that create a spark?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You know, I don't know. I haven't had experience with
sparks from tractors like that, but I do know anytime
you have rocks hit metal, just like an article I
sent you about the guy a few years ago started
a fire with the golf club hit a rock at
the golf club, and that sparked from the golf club
started a fire. So it's old people using weed whackers
(03:29):
on a hot, dry day, they can start a fire,
especially if using a metal blade. So it's very possible.
You know, a small spark can start a grass fire.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah. By the way, we don't call him weed whackers anymore.
I know where you Ben Steve it is. They're now
called clear ground friends sometime. Hey, all right, So, how
how important is is fighting fire? Is it more important
to have cool weather or humidity?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
The humidity is it really makes a big difference on
the spread of the fire. But it's actually a combination
of the fuel moisture, both live and dead fuels, and
the temperature, because the temperature is going to affect the
fuel temperature, and the hotter the fuel is more easily
it's gonna be night right.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And how long what's the longest you've seen a big fire?
You know, one of these huge fires we have in
southern California. What's the longest you've seen it go from
ignition to contained? Have you seen a two month period?
The three month period?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was on the Marble Cone fire up in Big
Surve back in nineteen seventy seven, and I was on
that fire for well over a month, and it burnt
for quite a while. In fact, it wasn't completely out
until there was the first snow.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Wow's that's like four months.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was quite a while. Yeah, And because I was
in August of seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But I mentioned to you about the fuels. The same
thing in Big Sur in seventy seven they have up
Big Bear. They're talking about snow till you have that
heavy snow and it breaks off branches of dead trees.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Now right, for got bad vibes with you, Steve. All right, Steve,
thanks for phoning.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
We got I think your batteries crapping out or the
connections crapping out. But something went wrong, something went hay
wire there.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
The whole issue as far as the knowing what it
was or believing what it was, we've been reporting that
here since almost since it started. And it's exactly like
like Cobet was saying earlier when you guys were talking
about it, it's how many times you are you on
the freeway when you'll see a truck that's got a
chain or something like that, that's hanging down or something
like that, and you see in sparks.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Everywhere, and it only takes one spark, one tiny spark. Yeah,
but it's look, it's going to be very expensive to
put this all back together. And the people in Orange
County are freaked out because that fire was seen by
everybody in Orange County. If you lived in Orange County,
you could clearly see that fire at night from your
bedroom window or from your your house or apartment or
(06:09):
condo wherever you're living. But that fire looked huge. And
when it came roaring past where the Spectrum Center is
down there with a four or five and the five meet,
oh yeah, man, it looked ominous. It looked I mean,
everybody in Orange County was sending me photos of it.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Everybody, this is when Sharon's glad she's not here.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That's right, including Angel Martinez too. That's right. Angel was
sending me photos of it. And Angel, could you see
that fire from your house or from your condo?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yes, it was horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Tim back to traffic, okay, all right, all right, out
of one track mine with this woman always doing traffic?
Yeah all right, but he all right, let's take a
break here and come back. We have a lot to
get to, tons to get to steph Ouche Buddy smoked
brisket Chipoltle for lunch. Did you have to smoke smoke brisket?
(07:02):
Oh my god, I had it last night. I was
My daughter said smoke brisket is back, and I'm like,
So I called up Robin because she told me that
at three o'clock. So I called Robin. I go, hey, Robin,
I think I got COVID or AIDS or something. I
can't come in today. And she's like, what it's like
three o'clock you go on at four? I said, yeah,
I just I can't come in today.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I'm feeling it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah. And she's like, she's like, you're coming in And
I said, ah, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
Because Tim, I saw on your social media you're talking
about Chipotle and the smoke brisket all day. You're you're
you just want to go to Chipotle? Like all right,
don't come in, Oh come in. So I had to
wait until after the show to get it. And I
got it at the Chipotle there on Riverside and I
don't know Pass Avenue wherever that is. Man, is that
(07:46):
stuff great smoked brisket? Wow? Totally addicted. Now I'm going
there again tonight. It was delicious, so good I wanted
to go back in for seconds. I felt like a pig,
but I wanted to go back in and get another one.
I finished my entire meal, like, oh, I should go
hit him again, but I didn't because then I, you know,
I think when I burn out on it, but I'm
(08:08):
going again to.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
That was one of the great things about living in
the East Coast of Maryland. Like in southern Maryland, it's
do you drive down the road and there are multiple
just little shacks that are set up where these guys
are smoking brisket tip and you just almost anywhere you
can pull over and get a really good sandwich like
a pole pork or a try tipper exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Where it falls apart with your forest. You don't need
a knife at all. Do the cole slaw on it?
Or no, I didn't know. I'm a pretty plain jaane guy.
How'd you get that white rice with the cilantro and
it pack it up into a you know, into a
little tortilla and I'm off the races, man. That stuff
is good.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Let's just talking to Krozier when we were younger and
Crosiers a little younger than I am, oh much. But
you remember we used to have those those little tiny
cereal boxes. It looked like a little bigger than I had,
you know, box a cigarette pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
If you got the variety pack like like ten in there,
eight or ten. That was like Christmas.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Oh it was great. And you would have to and
you could cut the box open and fold open the
top and pour water, pour a milk in there to
eat the cereal. You pour it into the box. You know,
they and they showed you it was like perforating do
they show you where to cut it and how to
open that box?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
All self contained?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But if you went too far with that knife and
you stabbed the bottom lights out, see you were you
use the knife?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Man, I just used my finger now, like just tried
to keep it, just rub it alone there along the
perforation there, just kind of wear it out.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Like like things you would enjoy as a kid that
you don't as an adult. Like I would never enjoy
that now, you know. I trying to open that sucker
up and like you know, putting porting milk in there
and like, oh my, my doing this.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
You're just cracking open the end and lifted it up
above your head and just jump it in.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
But remember when when you were younger, when mom or
dad said, hey, we're having you know, TV dinners tonight.
That was like a party.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You have your own metal tray, your own salisbury steak
with your potato and your your dessert on that thing,
apple crisp. Yeah, and you pull up a table and
you sit and you get sit in front of the
TV and eat that. That's one of the few times
where you can eat and watch TV at the same time.
At least my house, TV tray night was Yeah, TV
tray night. You're right, that's exactly what my mom called it.
It's a TV tray night.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, Balsberry the fried chicken. Hey, what was your with
those small little cereal box ones? Which was your goot?
Frosted flakes? Really yeah, that was the last choice, oh.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Man, frosted flakes and fruit loops for my coach top.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Then then fruit loops.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah. But TV dinners with your own tray, sitting in
front of the TV watching with it, you know, the
worst meal ever, you know, but you.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Didn't touched that carrots and peas mixture.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Right, But if you went home tonight and Jen said, hey,
TV dinners, I'd be like, what the cry? What the hell?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Did they even come in the foil?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Still? I think they do.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Are they all microwavable now where?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, maybe you're right, Maybe you're right. Yeah, maybe you're right.
Maybe they don't come and foil because of my wave.
But it was foil back then.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
And then you had some of them. You had to
you had to loosen up the foil around right in
section of it because it would burn it or something.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, and you and you had, you know, you cook
to yourself, and you got that hot chicken. It was
always three pieces of chicken. And with the potatoes, with
that awful grave mass.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Potatoes were kind of hitt and miss for me. Yeah,
a little gritty for me, a little sandy.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And about twelve pieces of corn in where the vegetable
goes kernels, yeah, individual kernels, twelve of them there. And
then dessert was always a cherry something or apples.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Sometimes it was a brownie if you got lucky, oh yeah,
you are really lucky. But usually it was a tart
like an apple tart or a cherry tart. So, but
that's one of the things you look forward to as
a kid. Like another thing when you were a child
and your mom and dad said, hey, we're you know,
we're going to Florida or you know, New York or
Boston or you know San Francisco. Ever, man, you couldn't
wait to get on that plane as a child that
(11:55):
that seems such like like the best part of the
trip was flying. Ye, you know, you couldn't wait to
get on this big, huge aircraft. You couldn't believe it's
taken off, it's going and you and and you're trying
to figure out where you were. You're looking outside most
of the time. Now days you say you're they're they're
taking a flight. You're like, oh, no, missing, How is
this going to go wrong? How is this gonn impossibly
(12:16):
blow up in my face?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
The first flight I ever took was by myself, and
I went from Miami to Kansas.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
How old were you seven? Wow? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
And it was cool because back then they took you
up into the into the with pilot in the cockpit
there and they gave they literally gave me the wings
to pinch on and and uh, I remember when we
were taking off, I was talking to this older couple
and I was telling him, Yeah, I'm going out to
see my dad and blah blah blah. And we hit
a certain point and all of asud, my ears popped
(12:46):
and I didn't know what the hell was going on.
And then I looked at them and I'm like, can
you hear me? I can't hear me right down and
screaming at the top, I can't hear that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
My my wife, when she was seven or eight, took
her first flight and it's supposed to be from Lax
to Portland. And because her dad lived down here, mom
lived up there, I don't think they got along. And
so she flew from Lax to Portland and her mom
was there to pick her up, and she waited and
(13:19):
waited and waited, and at the curb, you know, her
mom doesn't go into the airport to get her.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
And back then you could go all the way to
the gate.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right and she but didn't want paper parking, so she waited,
wait to wait, never came out. She goes inside. The
plane's gone and her daughter's missing in that airport somewhere,
and they looked everywhere for announcements all the time, you know,
Jennifer Clark, please call zero zero one, Jennifer Clark, please
call you know, and panicked all kinds of crap. Well,
(13:49):
what happened was she was only seven. She didn't know.
She stayed on the plane. It went to Seattle, and
so they found her in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And her had to drive to Seattle to pick her up,
and her mom was like, my mom, wow, where she
starts at one hundred and fifty percent year fault and
then accelerates after that.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I guess they wouldn't they They wouldn't put her on
another plane to go back down where she was supposed to,
would they know?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They just she didn't get off the flight at in Portland,
right because the stortesses didn't know, you know, they didn't
know where where this kid was going, and so they
assumed she was, you know, she was going to stay
on and go to Seattle. So she was in Seattle
and there's no cell phones back then, so she had
to wait till she get to Seattle to call her mom,
and her mom had to go home to get the
phone call and then had to drive to Seattle to
(14:35):
pick her up. And man, what a what a wild
ride back to Portland. That was you mother, you son
of a you you pace. I ought to never. I
wish I had never, you know, that kind of crap.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I remember when when I had that flight of my own.
We had a layover in Atlanta, and the flight attendants
were very They were very attentive to me. In fact,
she she would she took me off the plane to
walk around, but she would not let me walk. She
held me and carried me round the terminal and it
before getting back on the plane. So they were very
attentive to me.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
When when we first started flying with my daughter, she
was very active on these flights and it was like
two hour workout trying to keep her calm for these flights.
You know, she's always like, you know, very very hyper
and running around and you know, not screaming, but making
a fuss. And it was very, very difficult to keep
her quiet for two hours. So I remember saying to
(15:26):
our pediatrician, Hey, is there anything you can give her
to calm her down on a flight? And he said yeah,
and he gave us this little thing that looked like
cold medicine. He goes, give her one tablespoon of this
an hour before the flight, she'll be fine. And as
we're walking out the door, the doctor said, oh, and
have a five percent of the opposite. And I said, wait,
what did he say? And my wife's like, I don't know,
(15:47):
I don't know what he said.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He what did you say?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Because I was like, I don't know what that guy's saying.
So we get on the plane, we give her. You know,
she had the spoonful of this what looked like cost medicine,
and she for two hours ran up and down the aisle,
never came in and the doctor, I guess the doctor said,
in about two percent of kids, that has the opposite effect.
(16:13):
And she was grabbing at the store, at the flight
attendant's pantyhose and just running up and down the aisle
for like two hours't No one could control her.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
No, if you knew that ahead of time, would you
have not given it to her?
Speaker 9 (16:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
If I knew that ahead of time, I would have
taken that stuff and also grabbed the stores as patios.
A little bit a party up there.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Earthquake This Morning, earthquake or earthquake I got the warning.
It was like a little after eight. No, what time
was it, eight, seven thirty eight, I don't know. I
was really asleep and I got the alert on my phone,
you know, taver take cover, and I almost had a
heart attack. Really, yeah, I don't know why sometimes if
(17:02):
I'm woking up, like like I was listening to Moe
Kelly on the way home last night and I heard
Mark Ronner say that he's tired of being woken up
to say, hey, here, an earthquake's coming and it's nothing,
you know, just leave asleep. But I got adjust mine
because it literally felt like somebody had moved a chair
(17:23):
downstairs and I had to stand still and listen for
that earthquake, and I didn't feel almost it was almost nothing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
That's like the first thing I did when I downloaded
that up just a few weeks ago was adjust the
threshold for when I get the alert.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, I think I adjusted mine. After that alert. This morning,
I said I'm done with this, so I adjusted mine.
You don't mind only awakes me up. It's if it's
a nine point nine and it lasts, and it won't
alert me until the second minute of the nine point
nine and then I'll say, hey, Bob, bigger earthquake coming,
But I almost I don't know. When I wake up
(17:58):
to that alert and you have kids, it means something
different and you sort of panic, your heart starts racing.
You don't know what to do, and all of a
sudden it hits and it's like bang, what that's it? Yeah,
It's like if you had a gun pointed at you
and then the guy pulls the trigger and you know,
(18:19):
a little flag comes out that says bang. That's about
how dangerous it was. Suck. Did you feel it in
Orange County?
Speaker 10 (18:26):
Angel I didn't feel it, but my bird did. My
bird flew off the off the cage. H flew into
the living room, and I thought to myself, I'm like, oh,
it must be an earthquake someplace. But I didn't feel anything,
and I was upstairs.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So yeah, you have you got a dog, you got
a bird? What else? You get? Seven cats? Oh? My god?
You know at some point, don't you have to register
as a zoo?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Come on, Tim?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
For some reason that irritates her. I don't know why,
the Orange County Zoo. It does irritate the lovely one,
all right. People in Calabasas felt it pretty good this
morning maker earthquake. It wasn't five point one. There was
(19:17):
downgrade and I think about four point six four point seven.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
People at this Catalina paint story in Calabasas walked out
of the business as their earth started to move. You
can see some of the shelves swaying in that video.
Workers here say that they heard some rumbling before the
buildings started to shake in Calabasas.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
The quake hit at seven twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
This I always wondered that. And this is a good
place to bring this up. If you're in a paint
store like this. One is a Catalina paint store. Good paint,
by the way, and they're shaking a can of paint.
Is that the only piece of equipment during an earthquake
that stops it no longer shakes the paint. I wonder
about crap like.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
That this morning.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
It was centered more than three miles northwest of Malibu,
in nearly five miles southwest of a Gore Hills, about
six and a half miles deep.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
The US Geological Survey says.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Survey says, let's see you the survey. By the way,
this happened right on Canaan dune right on that road,
literally four feet to the east of that road.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
So survey says, Survey says, what does it say that
it was.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
A magnitude for four point seven, And here's a sampling
of what people experienced.
Speaker 12 (20:28):
It sounded like a semi truck was pulling in, and
we didn't think much of it, just it just sounded
like a loud bang, and then all of a sudden,
we start hearing like the building crack a little bit,
and everything just started shaking. So we ended up just
walking back because the parking lot in the back is
pretty empty, so basically just instead of taking cover, we
just went to the back road. There's nothing around.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Us there, you go, pretty good story.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Everybody has their own motions.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
It was like a side to side, so once we
started seeing stuff move, we're like, probably safer to go outside,
like we were saying. Luckily, most of our stuff has
as seismic package, so it doesn't move much. Otherwise we
probably would have had a little mess because it was
that was kind of hectic, you know.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
So we have talked to a number of businessests in
this area, including a wine and liquor store as well
as the pharmacy right behind us, and they tell us
that nothing on their shelves fell off the shelves.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Nothing fell off the shelf at a liquor store.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
So far, there has been no report.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
All right, all right, let's get into the size model.
Oh oh, this is actually pretty good. We have time, Yeah,
we have time. This is a live broadcast on channel seven.
They were on the new They were on the TV
doing news this morning on ABC seven, and they felt
that while they were doing the news.
Speaker 14 (21:34):
Bec cinnamon is a fall favorite and popular spice and
most Oh, we got an earthquake.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
We certainly do.
Speaker 14 (21:40):
We got an earthquake right now, Leslie, we get you
prepared to talk about this.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
We're shaking pretty good, man.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That that studio is only a couple miles from my house,
and they were shaking pretty good. I barely felt this thing.
Speaker 14 (21:51):
Three three, three or four? I guess was that magnitude.
She's looking up at the ceiling. So we're gonna hold
on this. I'm gonna pull up some social media here
to see because pretty quickly we get a report on
the size of this thing.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Leslie, what do you think I did not get any
alert on.
Speaker 14 (22:06):
My phone, did you our producer did get an alert
to her phone.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Oh oh she did you know what? I was on
my phone that whole time, and I did.
Speaker 14 (22:13):
Not get five point oh in Malibu. See that information
comes so quickly, which is amazing. Already hearing that this
was a five point oh in Malibu.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And then they downgraded it four point six, I think.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, so we're in Glendale.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I think it was a four point six point oh
in Malibu and it's a big one point in Malibu.
Speaker 14 (22:31):
Yeah, so we're in Glendale and working to get information here.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Fascinating. That was a big one. Fascinating.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No, No, I don't know.
Speaker 15 (22:44):
Fascinating. I don't know, not yet, not yet, fascinating. Still
not there, still not there, fascinating.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Get there on this one. Just can't get there on
this one for some reason.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Fascinating. That was a big one.
Speaker 14 (23:05):
The size of this thing, Wow, big one Malibu. I
think you felt it, Leslie, even just a moment before me,
as my camera and the lights above us began to shake,
and we got a lot of them here in studio.
Any additional moment we were probably going to have to
move and get under a desk or something.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Fascinating, Yeah, to get on the USGS website right now
to get the latest information. Here we go five point
one out of the Malibu Eraah yeah, fascinating, just happened
moments ago. This is going to be the particular earthquake
we felt. So again, how many miles away are we
(23:42):
from Malibu? About twenty to thirty would you say, Mark.
Speaker 15 (23:45):
Okay, yeah, fascinating, not yet.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
And we felt it all the way over here in
Glendale Burbanks.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So even the fund Yeah that was odd. How many
people felt that thing? I didn't feel at all. Seismologist
way in on, is this the big one? We've had
a lot of them. We had one in Ontario, Barstow, Bakersfield,
a couple of Malibu. And when we come back, we'll
tell you if if we're closer to the big one.
(24:11):
But the one thing that doctor Lucy Jones has said
over and over and over, when the big one hits,
nobody in southern California will say to another person, hey,
is this the big one? Nobody, not a single person
we'll say that because you'll know it. It'll last upwards
(24:32):
to two minutes, two minutes where everything is breaking around you.
I don't mean to alarm you, but you gotta get
ready for it. We have an earthquake kit. Not bragging,
but went out and I bought some crap to throw
in the earthquake kit. And the one thing you got
to throw in your earthquake kit, kids, if you're a smoker,
got to put cigarettes in there. If you're a pot smoker,
(24:56):
weed in your earthquake kit, little vacuum container. Exactly right,
Because when your whole house falls down and a lot
of people you know are dead, not a good time
to quit smoking.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Do you want to spark that owl?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yes, yes, that's right. Not a great time to also
kick the nicotine habit. You're going to go into overdrive
when it comes to the earthquake. So remember cigarettes, booze,
and weed. Right that earthquake kit for you and you'll
thank me later.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Another earthquake this morning in Malibu. Four point six. Four
point seven is what it came in and originally is
five point zero or five point one. But sizemlages are
weighing in. Are we any closer to the big one?
I don't know. Let's find out what they have to say, let's.
Speaker 16 (25:53):
Go little cars getting a big shake today. When this
morning's quake hit, countless phones rang out shake alert spring
in the action.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
We've had it now for a few years, but we're
kind of getting a few of these alerts now, so
people are getting used to it.
Speaker 16 (26:06):
And Caltech seismologists doctor Allen Husker, addressing today's four point
seven magnitude quake, relatively small, in one of fourteen in
southern California so far this year, the most since nineteen
eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Earthquake.
Speaker 16 (26:21):
But while many people believe smaller quakes tend to reduce
the odds of a big one, Husker says it doesn't
quite work that way.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Oh no, I was on that side. I was hoping
all these smaller ones were relieving distress for the big one.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
There's no way, unfortunately, to leave you at the big one. Really,
the big ones are so much bigger that you would
need hundreds or thousands of these small ones really to
equate kind of like that big one. And we just
don't know there's not enough.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
What a downer that guy is. We need a thousand,
thousands of those earthquakes like today to relieve the stress.
What a downer.
Speaker 16 (26:55):
In fact, the preponderance of smaller quakes may do just
the opposite, Husker says. Seismic modeling shows Southern California is
overdue for the big one, and smaller quakes tend to
point toward bigger ones.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Oh god, oh my god. Well, look, maybe somebody will
go out and buy an earthquake kid today because they
heard this. That's possible.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Each earthquake slightly increases the chance of a future earthquake
that's about the same magnitude or larger.
Speaker 16 (27:22):
Preparation, of course, should always be your plan for when
a major earthquake hits. In the meantime, realize that down
the line, Southern California won't be that southern anymore.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Do tell LA, in two million years will be next
to San Francisco?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Is that right? La in two million.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Years will be next to San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I can't wait for that. That'd be cool, right, Well,
will happen to the high speed train? Then you just
get on and get off.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
The way it's actually moving. So that's the way things
are going now.
Speaker 16 (27:52):
Because the quake was relatively small, seismologists.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That is amazing to think about that in two million years,
La will be right next to San Francisco, LA.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
In two million years will be next to San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Man, that is crazy to think about that. Huh, that
is wild.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Is it just going to create a giant bay?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I don't know, I don't know. That sounds probably right, right,
It'll just be you know, our homelessness will be closer
to their homelessness and just take a ferry over. Yeah right, yeah,
maybe I'll all be homeless at that time.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Who knows the way it's actually moving. So it's that's
the way things are going now.
Speaker 16 (28:28):
Because the quake was relatively small, seismologists say they can't
tell exactly what fault line had happened on because there
are two in that immediate area.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Ah right, all right, bad news, bad news all around.
But try to get out there and get a some
kind of you know, earthquake kit. Maybe you have the money,
maybe you don't. I know, one guy's got the money.
This guy just won the lottery eight hundred million dollars.
Speaker 17 (28:55):
Well, somebody in Texas is eight hundred million dollars richer
this morning after last sight's Mega Millions drawing. According to
lottery officials, they have the winning ticket was sold at
a gas station in sugar Land, which is a suburb
of Houston. It is the seventh largest Mega Million's jackpot
in history. The winner has not come forward yet, but
when they do, they'll have the choice to take either
annual payments or the cash option. Four hundred and four
(29:18):
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Wow, four hundred and four million dollar check.
Speaker 17 (29:22):
Here are the winning numbers, just in case it's you.
Speaker 16 (29:25):
One.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
It's not you guys in Texas. Oh, this is a
national show.
Speaker 17 (29:29):
Here are the winning numbers, just in case it's you.
One two, sixteen, twenty four is sixty six and the
make ball is six.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
The last three numbers were six sixty six and.
Speaker 17 (29:42):
Six sixty six and the make ball is six.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh that's bad. That's bad karma for that ticket cost one. Yeah,
that's no man. I was in on it. I was
in on a couple different pools, and fortunately I have
hooked up with losers. We don't know how to pick
numbers because we didn't get anything, nothing, absolutely nothing. All right.
(30:07):
Larry David, very funny man, is on tour. You can
go see him in person.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Except Larry David. In April, the Emmy winning comedian wrapped
up the twelfth and final season of his HBO Headcurt
Your Enthusiasm, and apparently it didn't take Larry very long
to get pretty pretty wrestless. Yesterday, the Seinfeld creator revealed
he's getting back on the road to continue his live
tour a conversation with Larry David, picking up from his
Spring shows. The new fall stops are headed to ten
(30:33):
cities across the country, and he's promoting them in the
most Larry David way possible.
Speaker 16 (30:39):
There are some tickets going on sale for this thing
I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It's really it's really nothing.
Speaker 16 (30:45):
It'll be a total waste of your time.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You know.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
There's not that.
Speaker 13 (30:49):
Many things to do to night, so yeah, I guess
if you have.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Nothing to do anyway, ruict a great way to sell it.
If you want to go, you go, you don't, you don't.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Not a big deal out.
Speaker 9 (31:04):
And that just makes me want to go. See. Larry
will be joined by a moderator at each show, with
Peyton Manning actually kicking things off and done for next week?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Okay, what who?
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Larry will be joined by a moderator at each show,
with Peyton Manning actually.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Oh my god, these Mannings. I can't get away from
these kids. They do everything every time you turn on TV.
Him and his adope brother Eli Manning and Manny Manning.
What's the other kids to him? Chuck Manning something like that,
I'm Manning the dad. Yeah, these kids, they man these
Manning boys, they don't know how to say no. They
(31:40):
say yesterday.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Everything everything I started, I just restarted watching. I've never
seen all of it, just bits and pieces, but Kurby
Enthusiasm and I'm in about halfway through season two, and
I am telling you, dude, it is you.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Is that right? You steal my material?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Is just there's a personality there and the things that
happened to him. It's you, man, I'm serious. Somebody stole
some crap from you.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
All right, Well I'll have to, you know, I get
a lawyer on it. See what's going on with that guy?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Or maybe he should get a lawyer. She was going
on me as possible as well. I had. You know,
I purchased a new car recently because my car was
eighteen years old and it was falling apart, falling apart.
So I got a new car and I'm looking to
sell my car two thousand and seven Lincoln Navigator. So
(32:31):
I got two estimates, two bids on selling it. You know,
I get him all the information. They won't know how
many miles. What you know is the car in good shape.
It's in great shape. The only seat that's not in
great shape is the passenger seat. But that's where I've
been sitting for eighteen years. So it's you know, not
(32:53):
the out of the blue that that seat needs some.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Work for the age and wear on it. I mean,
you know, just the hans take it. Yeah, it's pretty
tight looking vehicle, man, Thank you nice.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I appreciate that. So the two bids that I got
on it, maybe we'll do it at five thirty. We
got Rick D's coming on at five. But here's what
we'll do at at five thirty. We'll ask the audience
what you think the average bid. I got two bids,
two estimates on my car, and if you get closest,
I'll give you a piece that's fallen off my car.
(33:25):
I have nine pieces in the back of my car
that have fallen off.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's not a necessary piece. The vehicles in great shit.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Thank you. It's a kick plate, it's a seatbelt cover.
It's about nineteen screws and bold plate frames. Yeah, like
a light front light that fell off. I've had. I
have nine pieces that I have in the trunk that
have fallen off that car. You'll get the pieces, Yeah,
you'll get one of them. I'll give one of them
away to the person that gets closest. We'll do that
at five thirty. That's to be fun, all right. Rick
D's is coming on. Evidently he's been asked to come
(33:53):
down to like the city council or the LA County
Supervisors to give his opinion on on Los Angeles. You know,
he's a very successful guy and they want to pick
his brain on how to make the city a better place.
And he's got some kind of appointment or big meeting
with them, so he's going to run us through what
he's going to tell them. I relyve on KFI Rick
(34:16):
ds in, not in the morning, in the afternoon right
here on KFIM six forty Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live
on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm Monday
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's CAMF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It
is the Conway Show. All right, We're not going to
fire talk for three hours, but we're certainly gonna start
with it because we have evidence that this fire, the
airport fire in Tribuco Canyon, could have been started by
(00:24):
Orange County workers, which is not good for Orange County.
Steve Kreeger's with US retired fire captain from Los Angeles
County Fire Department. How are you, sir?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Tim ding dong?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I'm doing dong.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
With you, buddy. Hey, so you and I both read
the same story I believe coming out of Orange County
where the origin of this fire? Is that sound right
to you? I mean you have more experience than I do.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Well, it's very possible both. They didn't identify was the
cause of the spark. Was it from the rocks touch
front and touching the steel bucket on the tractor, or
a spark from their exhaust. They haven't identified that.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Okay, But the story is that you know a lot
of you know, twenty thirty years ago that was all
land where you could take your three wheeler, four wheeler, motorcycle, whatever,
and enjoy yourself. And then wealthy people moved in and
they don't like the noise, they don't like the action
down there, so they asked the Orange County, Hey, put
(01:23):
a lot of big boulders there. So these guys, these yahoos,
their terms, not mine, can't go up in the hills
with their three and four wheelers and dig up the place.
And they think that the spark came from moving those
big boulders on a red flag, very hot day.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's it's very possible, but they'd be very hard to
determine where that spark came from. But you're absolutely right,
this sounds like more of a law enforcement issue if
they're having trouble with people accessing high fire danger areas.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Sure, yeah, but you know, but maybe it was a look,
I don't know, maybe law enforcement agreed to, you know,
put the boulders up there. But if they simply waited
another five days until the you know, the weather cooperated,
I can't imagine if if that spark got loose today,
you know, on a seventy degree day, they would do
it would do as much damage.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, it's very possible because the fuel moistures. It's not
just the temperature outside, it's the temperature of the fuel.
And also I was just looking at fuel moisture in
the east end of La County and it's at six
point three percent. You started getting down below six percent,
it things ignite very easily. So it's not just the
(02:36):
outside temperatures on that fuel. The dead fuel is dry,
it's going to start very easily from just a spark.
And you know, a spark from either a rock hitting
metal or from exhaust can be one thousand to two
thousand degrees fairy night. Even though it's very small, it's
extremely hot, and in dry fuel like grass, they can
start fire very quickly.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
In your experience, when you have big tractors with big
metal buckets moving big boulders, how susceptible. How often does
that create a spark?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You know, I don't know. I haven't had experience with
sparks from tractors like that, but I do know anytime
you have rocks hit metal, just like an article I
sent you about the guy a few years ago started
a fire with the golf club hit a rock at
the golf club, and that sparked from the golf club
started a fire. So it's old people using weed whackers
(03:29):
on a hot, dry day, they can start a fire,
especially if using a metal blade. So it's very possible.
You know, a small spark can start a grass fire.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah. By the way, we don't call him weed whackers anymore.
I know where you Ben Steve it is. They're now
called clear ground friends sometime. Hey, all right, So, how
how important is is fighting fire? Is it more important
to have cool weather or humidity?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
The humidity is it really makes a big difference on
the spread of the fire. But it's actually a combination
of the fuel moisture, both live and dead fuels, and
the temperature, because the temperature is going to affect the
fuel temperature, and the hotter the fuel is more easily
it's gonna be night right.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And how long what's the longest you've seen a big fire?
You know, one of these huge fires we have in
southern California. What's the longest you've seen it go from
ignition to contained? Have you seen a two month period?
The three month period?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I was on the Marble Cone fire up in Big
Surve back in nineteen seventy seven, and I was on
that fire for well over a month, and it burnt
for quite a while. In fact, it wasn't completely out
until there was the first snow.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Wow's that's like four months.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was quite a while. Yeah, And because I was
in August of seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But I mentioned to you about the fuels. The same
thing in Big Sur in seventy seven they have up
Big Bear. They're talking about snow till you have that
heavy snow and it breaks off branches of dead trees.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Now right, for got bad vibes with you, Steve. All right, Steve,
thanks for phoning.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
We got I think your batteries crapping out or the
connections crapping out. But something went wrong, something went hay
wire there.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
The whole issue as far as the knowing what it
was or believing what it was, we've been reporting that
here since almost since it started. And it's exactly like
like Cobet was saying earlier when you guys were talking
about it, it's how many times you are you on
the freeway when you'll see a truck that's got a
chain or something like that, that's hanging down or something
like that, and you see in sparks.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Everywhere, and it only takes one spark, one tiny spark. Yeah,
but it's look, it's going to be very expensive to
put this all back together. And the people in Orange
County are freaked out because that fire was seen by
everybody in Orange County. If you lived in Orange County,
you could clearly see that fire at night from your
bedroom window or from your your house or apartment or
(06:09):
condo wherever you're living. But that fire looked huge. And
when it came roaring past where the Spectrum Center is
down there with a four or five and the five meet,
oh yeah, man, it looked ominous. It looked I mean,
everybody in Orange County was sending me photos of it.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Everybody, this is when Sharon's glad she's not here.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That's right, including Angel Martinez too. That's right. Angel was
sending me photos of it. And Angel, could you see
that fire from your house or from your condo?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yes, it was horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Tim back to traffic, okay, all right, all right, out
of one track mine with this woman always doing traffic?
Yeah all right, but he all right, let's take a
break here and come back. We have a lot to
get to, tons to get to steph Ouche Buddy smoked
brisket Chipoltle for lunch. Did you have to smoke smoke brisket?
(07:02):
Oh my god, I had it last night. I was
My daughter said smoke brisket is back, and I'm like,
So I called up Robin because she told me that
at three o'clock. So I called Robin. I go, hey, Robin,
I think I got COVID or AIDS or something. I
can't come in today. And she's like, what it's like
three o'clock you go on at four? I said, yeah,
I just I can't come in today.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I'm feeling it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah. And she's like, she's like, you're coming in And
I said, ah, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
Because Tim, I saw on your social media you're talking
about Chipotle and the smoke brisket all day. You're you're
you just want to go to Chipotle? Like all right,
don't come in, Oh come in. So I had to
wait until after the show to get it. And I
got it at the Chipotle there on Riverside and I
don't know Pass Avenue wherever that is. Man, is that
(07:46):
stuff great smoked brisket? Wow? Totally addicted. Now I'm going
there again tonight. It was delicious, so good I wanted
to go back in for seconds. I felt like a pig,
but I wanted to go back in and get another one.
I finished my entire meal, like, oh, I should go
hit him again, but I didn't because then I, you know,
I think when I burn out on it, but I'm
(08:08):
going again to.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
That was one of the great things about living in
the East Coast of Maryland. Like in southern Maryland, it's
do you drive down the road and there are multiple
just little shacks that are set up where these guys
are smoking brisket tip and you just almost anywhere you
can pull over and get a really good sandwich like
a pole pork or a try tipper exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Where it falls apart with your forest. You don't need
a knife at all. Do the cole slaw on it?
Or no, I didn't know. I'm a pretty plain jaane guy.
How'd you get that white rice with the cilantro and
it pack it up into a you know, into a
little tortilla and I'm off the races, man. That stuff
is good.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Let's just talking to Krozier when we were younger and
Crosiers a little younger than I am, oh much. But
you remember we used to have those those little tiny
cereal boxes. It looked like a little bigger than I had,
you know, box a cigarette pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
If you got the variety pack like like ten in there,
eight or ten. That was like Christmas.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Oh it was great. And you would have to and
you could cut the box open and fold open the
top and pour water, pour a milk in there to
eat the cereal. You pour it into the box. You know,
they and they showed you it was like perforating do
they show you where to cut it and how to
open that box?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
All self contained?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But if you went too far with that knife and
you stabbed the bottom lights out, see you were you
use the knife?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Man, I just used my finger now, like just tried
to keep it, just rub it alone there along the
perforation there, just kind of wear it out.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Like like things you would enjoy as a kid that
you don't as an adult. Like I would never enjoy
that now, you know. I trying to open that sucker
up and like you know, putting porting milk in there
and like, oh my, my doing this.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
You're just cracking open the end and lifted it up
above your head and just jump it in.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
But remember when when you were younger, when mom or
dad said, hey, we're having you know, TV dinners tonight.
That was like a party.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You have your own metal tray, your own salisbury steak
with your potato and your your dessert on that thing,
apple crisp. Yeah, and you pull up a table and
you sit and you get sit in front of the
TV and eat that. That's one of the few times
where you can eat and watch TV at the same time.
At least my house, TV tray night was Yeah, TV
tray night. You're right, that's exactly what my mom called it.
It's a TV tray night.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Yeah, Balsberry the fried chicken. Hey, what was your with
those small little cereal box ones? Which was your goot?
Frosted flakes? Really yeah, that was the last choice, oh.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Man, frosted flakes and fruit loops for my coach top.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Then then fruit loops.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah. But TV dinners with your own tray, sitting in
front of the TV watching with it, you know, the
worst meal ever, you know, but you.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Didn't touched that carrots and peas mixture.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Right, But if you went home tonight and Jen said, hey,
TV dinners, I'd be like, what the cry? What the hell?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Did they even come in the foil?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Still? I think they do.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Are they all microwavable now where?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, maybe you're right, Maybe you're right. Yeah, maybe you're right.
Maybe they don't come and foil because of my wave.
But it was foil back then.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
And then you had some of them. You had to
you had to loosen up the foil around right in
section of it because it would burn it or something.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, and you and you had, you know, you cook
to yourself, and you got that hot chicken. It was
always three pieces of chicken. And with the potatoes, with
that awful grave mass.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Potatoes were kind of hitt and miss for me. Yeah,
a little gritty for me, a little sandy.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And about twelve pieces of corn in where the vegetable
goes kernels, yeah, individual kernels, twelve of them there. And
then dessert was always a cherry something or apples.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Sometimes it was a brownie if you got lucky, oh yeah,
you are really lucky. But usually it was a tart
like an apple tart or a cherry tart. So, but
that's one of the things you look forward to as
a kid. Like another thing when you were a child
and your mom and dad said, hey, we're you know,
we're going to Florida or you know, New York or
Boston or you know San Francisco. Ever, man, you couldn't
wait to get on that plane as a child that
(11:55):
that seems such like like the best part of the
trip was flying. Ye, you know, you couldn't wait to
get on this big, huge aircraft. You couldn't believe it's
taken off, it's going and you and and you're trying
to figure out where you were. You're looking outside most
of the time. Now days you say you're they're they're
taking a flight. You're like, oh, no, missing, How is
this going to go wrong? How is this gonn impossibly
(12:16):
blow up in my face?
Speaker 4 (12:17):
The first flight I ever took was by myself, and
I went from Miami to Kansas.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
How old were you seven? Wow? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
And it was cool because back then they took you
up into the into the with pilot in the cockpit
there and they gave they literally gave me the wings
to pinch on and and uh, I remember when we
were taking off, I was talking to this older couple
and I was telling him, Yeah, I'm going out to
see my dad and blah blah blah. And we hit
a certain point and all of asud, my ears popped
(12:46):
and I didn't know what the hell was going on.
And then I looked at them and I'm like, can
you hear me? I can't hear me right down and
screaming at the top, I can't hear that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
My my wife, when she was seven or eight, took
her first flight and it's supposed to be from Lax
to Portland. And because her dad lived down here, mom
lived up there, I don't think they got along. And
so she flew from Lax to Portland and her mom
was there to pick her up, and she waited and
(13:19):
waited and waited, and at the curb, you know, her
mom doesn't go into the airport to get her.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
And back then you could go all the way to
the gate.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Right and she but didn't want paper parking, so she waited,
wait to wait, never came out. She goes inside. The
plane's gone and her daughter's missing in that airport somewhere,
and they looked everywhere for announcements all the time, you know,
Jennifer Clark, please call zero zero one, Jennifer Clark, please
call you know, and panicked all kinds of crap. Well,
(13:49):
what happened was she was only seven. She didn't know.
She stayed on the plane. It went to Seattle, and
so they found her in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
And her had to drive to Seattle to pick her up,
and her mom was like, my mom, wow, where she
starts at one hundred and fifty percent year fault and
then accelerates after that.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I guess they wouldn't they They wouldn't put her on
another plane to go back down where she was supposed to,
would they know?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They just she didn't get off the flight at in Portland,
right because the stortesses didn't know, you know, they didn't
know where where this kid was going, and so they
assumed she was, you know, she was going to stay
on and go to Seattle. So she was in Seattle
and there's no cell phones back then, so she had
to wait till she get to Seattle to call her mom,
and her mom had to go home to get the
phone call and then had to drive to Seattle to
(14:35):
pick her up. And man, what a what a wild
ride back to Portland. That was you mother, you son
of a you you pace. I ought to never. I
wish I had never, you know, that kind of crap.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I remember when when I had that flight of my own.
We had a layover in Atlanta, and the flight attendants
were very They were very attentive to me. In fact,
she she would she took me off the plane to
walk around, but she would not let me walk. She
held me and carried me round the terminal and it
before getting back on the plane. So they were very
attentive to me.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
When when we first started flying with my daughter, she
was very active on these flights and it was like
two hour workout trying to keep her calm for these flights.
You know, she's always like, you know, very very hyper
and running around and you know, not screaming, but making
a fuss. And it was very, very difficult to keep
her quiet for two hours. So I remember saying to
(15:26):
our pediatrician, Hey, is there anything you can give her
to calm her down on a flight? And he said yeah,
and he gave us this little thing that looked like
cold medicine. He goes, give her one tablespoon of this
an hour before the flight, she'll be fine. And as
we're walking out the door, the doctor said, oh, and
have a five percent of the opposite. And I said, wait,
what did he say? And my wife's like, I don't know,
(15:47):
I don't know what he said.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
He what did you say?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Because I was like, I don't know what that guy's saying.
So we get on the plane, we give her. You know,
she had the spoonful of this what looked like cost medicine,
and she for two hours ran up and down the aisle,
never came in and the doctor, I guess the doctor said,
in about two percent of kids, that has the opposite effect.
(16:13):
And she was grabbing at the store, at the flight
attendant's pantyhose and just running up and down the aisle
for like two hours't No one could control her.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
No, if you knew that ahead of time, would you
have not given it to her?
Speaker 9 (16:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
If I knew that ahead of time, I would have
taken that stuff and also grabbed the stores as patios.
A little bit a party up there.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Earthquake This Morning, earthquake or earthquake I got the warning.
It was like a little after eight. No, what time
was it, eight, seven thirty eight, I don't know. I
was really asleep and I got the alert on my phone,
you know, taver take cover, and I almost had a
heart attack. Really, yeah, I don't know why sometimes if
(17:02):
I'm woking up, like like I was listening to Moe
Kelly on the way home last night and I heard
Mark Ronner say that he's tired of being woken up
to say, hey, here, an earthquake's coming and it's nothing,
you know, just leave asleep. But I got adjust mine
because it literally felt like somebody had moved a chair
(17:23):
downstairs and I had to stand still and listen for
that earthquake, and I didn't feel almost it was almost nothing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
That's like the first thing I did when I downloaded
that up just a few weeks ago was adjust the
threshold for when I get the alert.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, I think I adjusted mine. After that alert. This morning,
I said I'm done with this, so I adjusted mine.
You don't mind only awakes me up. It's if it's
a nine point nine and it lasts, and it won't
alert me until the second minute of the nine point
nine and then I'll say, hey, Bob, bigger earthquake coming,
But I almost I don't know. When I wake up
(17:58):
to that alert and you have kids, it means something
different and you sort of panic, your heart starts racing.
You don't know what to do, and all of a
sudden it hits and it's like bang, what that's it? Yeah,
It's like if you had a gun pointed at you
and then the guy pulls the trigger and you know,
(18:19):
a little flag comes out that says bang. That's about
how dangerous it was. Suck. Did you feel it in
Orange County?
Speaker 10 (18:26):
Angel I didn't feel it, but my bird did. My
bird flew off the off the cage. H flew into
the living room, and I thought to myself, I'm like, oh,
it must be an earthquake someplace. But I didn't feel anything,
and I was upstairs.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
So yeah, you have you got a dog, you got
a bird? What else? You get? Seven cats? Oh? My god?
You know at some point, don't you have to register
as a zoo?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Come on, Tim?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
For some reason that irritates her. I don't know why,
the Orange County Zoo. It does irritate the lovely one,
all right. People in Calabasas felt it pretty good this
morning maker earthquake. It wasn't five point one. There was
(19:17):
downgrade and I think about four point six four point seven.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
People at this Catalina paint story in Calabasas walked out
of the business as their earth started to move. You
can see some of the shelves swaying in that video.
Workers here say that they heard some rumbling before the
buildings started to shake in Calabasas.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
The quake hit at seven twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
This I always wondered that. And this is a good
place to bring this up. If you're in a paint
store like this. One is a Catalina paint store. Good paint,
by the way, and they're shaking a can of paint.
Is that the only piece of equipment during an earthquake
that stops it no longer shakes the paint. I wonder
about crap like.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
That this morning.
Speaker 11 (19:58):
It was centered more than three miles northwest of Malibu,
in nearly five miles southwest of a Gore Hills, about
six and a half miles deep.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
The US Geological Survey says.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Survey says, let's see you the survey. By the way,
this happened right on Canaan dune right on that road,
literally four feet to the east of that road.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
So survey says, Survey says, what does it say that
it was.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
A magnitude for four point seven, And here's a sampling
of what people experienced.
Speaker 12 (20:28):
It sounded like a semi truck was pulling in, and
we didn't think much of it, just it just sounded
like a loud bang, and then all of a sudden,
we start hearing like the building crack a little bit,
and everything just started shaking. So we ended up just
walking back because the parking lot in the back is
pretty empty, so basically just instead of taking cover, we
just went to the back road. There's nothing around.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Us there, you go, pretty good story.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
Everybody has their own motions.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
It was like a side to side, so once we
started seeing stuff move, we're like, probably safer to go outside,
like we were saying. Luckily, most of our stuff has
as seismic package, so it doesn't move much. Otherwise we
probably would have had a little mess because it was
that was kind of hectic, you know.
Speaker 11 (21:01):
So we have talked to a number of businessests in
this area, including a wine and liquor store as well
as the pharmacy right behind us, and they tell us
that nothing on their shelves fell off the shelves.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Nothing fell off the shelf at a liquor store.
Speaker 6 (21:16):
So far, there has been no report.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
All right, all right, let's get into the size model.
Oh oh, this is actually pretty good. We have time, Yeah,
we have time. This is a live broadcast on channel seven.
They were on the new They were on the TV
doing news this morning on ABC seven, and they felt
that while they were doing the news.
Speaker 14 (21:34):
Bec cinnamon is a fall favorite and popular spice and
most Oh, we got an earthquake.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
We certainly do.
Speaker 14 (21:40):
We got an earthquake right now, Leslie, we get you
prepared to talk about this.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
We're shaking pretty good, man.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That that studio is only a couple miles from my house,
and they were shaking pretty good. I barely felt this thing.
Speaker 14 (21:51):
Three three, three or four? I guess was that magnitude.
She's looking up at the ceiling. So we're gonna hold
on this. I'm gonna pull up some social media here
to see because pretty quickly we get a report on
the size of this thing.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Leslie, what do you think I did not get any
alert on.
Speaker 14 (22:06):
My phone, did you our producer did get an alert
to her phone.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Oh oh she did you know what? I was on
my phone that whole time, and I did.
Speaker 14 (22:13):
Not get five point oh in Malibu. See that information
comes so quickly, which is amazing. Already hearing that this
was a five point oh in Malibu.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And then they downgraded it four point six, I think.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, so we're in Glendale.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I think it was a four point six point oh
in Malibu and it's a big one point in Malibu.
Speaker 14 (22:31):
Yeah, so we're in Glendale and working to get information here.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Fascinating. That was a big one. Fascinating.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No, No, I don't know.
Speaker 15 (22:44):
Fascinating. I don't know, not yet, not yet, fascinating. Still
not there, still not there, fascinating.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Get there on this one. Just can't get there on
this one for some reason.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Fascinating. That was a big one.
Speaker 14 (23:05):
The size of this thing, Wow, big one Malibu. I
think you felt it, Leslie, even just a moment before me,
as my camera and the lights above us began to shake,
and we got a lot of them here in studio.
Any additional moment we were probably going to have to
move and get under a desk or something.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Fascinating, Yeah, to get on the USGS website right now
to get the latest information. Here we go five point
one out of the Malibu Eraah yeah, fascinating, just happened
moments ago. This is going to be the particular earthquake
we felt. So again, how many miles away are we
(23:42):
from Malibu? About twenty to thirty would you say, Mark.
Speaker 15 (23:45):
Okay, yeah, fascinating, not yet.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
And we felt it all the way over here in
Glendale Burbanks.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So even the fund Yeah that was odd. How many
people felt that thing? I didn't feel at all. Seismologist
way in on, is this the big one? We've had
a lot of them. We had one in Ontario, Barstow, Bakersfield,
a couple of Malibu. And when we come back, we'll
tell you if if we're closer to the big one.
(24:11):
But the one thing that doctor Lucy Jones has said
over and over and over, when the big one hits,
nobody in southern California will say to another person, hey,
is this the big one? Nobody, not a single person
we'll say that because you'll know it. It'll last upwards
(24:32):
to two minutes, two minutes where everything is breaking around you.
I don't mean to alarm you, but you gotta get
ready for it. We have an earthquake kit. Not bragging,
but went out and I bought some crap to throw
in the earthquake kit. And the one thing you got
to throw in your earthquake kit, kids, if you're a smoker,
got to put cigarettes in there. If you're a pot smoker,
(24:56):
weed in your earthquake kit, little vacuum container. Exactly right,
Because when your whole house falls down and a lot
of people you know are dead, not a good time
to quit smoking.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Do you want to spark that owl?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yes, yes, that's right. Not a great time to also
kick the nicotine habit. You're going to go into overdrive
when it comes to the earthquake. So remember cigarettes, booze,
and weed. Right that earthquake kit for you and you'll
thank me later.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Another earthquake this morning in Malibu. Four point six. Four
point seven is what it came in and originally is
five point zero or five point one. But sizemlages are
weighing in. Are we any closer to the big one?
I don't know. Let's find out what they have to say, let's.
Speaker 16 (25:53):
Go little cars getting a big shake today. When this
morning's quake hit, countless phones rang out shake alert spring
in the action.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
We've had it now for a few years, but we're
kind of getting a few of these alerts now, so
people are getting used to it.
Speaker 16 (26:06):
And Caltech seismologists doctor Allen Husker, addressing today's four point
seven magnitude quake, relatively small, in one of fourteen in
southern California so far this year, the most since nineteen
eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Earthquake.
Speaker 16 (26:21):
But while many people believe smaller quakes tend to reduce
the odds of a big one, Husker says it doesn't
quite work that way.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Oh no, I was on that side. I was hoping
all these smaller ones were relieving distress for the big one.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
There's no way, unfortunately, to leave you at the big one. Really,
the big ones are so much bigger that you would
need hundreds or thousands of these small ones really to
equate kind of like that big one. And we just
don't know there's not enough.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
What a downer that guy is. We need a thousand,
thousands of those earthquakes like today to relieve the stress.
What a downer.
Speaker 16 (26:55):
In fact, the preponderance of smaller quakes may do just
the opposite, Husker says. Seismic modeling shows Southern California is
overdue for the big one, and smaller quakes tend to
point toward bigger ones.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Oh god, oh my god. Well, look, maybe somebody will
go out and buy an earthquake kid today because they
heard this. That's possible.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Each earthquake slightly increases the chance of a future earthquake
that's about the same magnitude or larger.
Speaker 16 (27:22):
Preparation, of course, should always be your plan for when
a major earthquake hits. In the meantime, realize that down
the line, Southern California won't be that southern anymore.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
Do tell LA, in two million years will be next
to San Francisco?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Is that right? La in two million.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
Years will be next to San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I can't wait for that. That'd be cool, right, Well,
will happen to the high speed train? Then you just
get on and get off.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
The way it's actually moving. So that's the way things
are going now.
Speaker 16 (27:52):
Because the quake was relatively small, seismologists.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
That is amazing to think about that in two million years,
La will be right next to San Francisco, LA.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
In two million years will be next to San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Man, that is crazy to think about that. Huh, that
is wild.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Is it just going to create a giant bay?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I don't know, I don't know. That sounds probably right, right,
It'll just be you know, our homelessness will be closer
to their homelessness and just take a ferry over. Yeah right, yeah,
maybe I'll all be homeless at that time.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Who knows the way it's actually moving. So it's that's
the way things are going now.
Speaker 16 (28:28):
Because the quake was relatively small, seismologists say they can't
tell exactly what fault line had happened on because there
are two in that immediate area.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Ah right, all right, bad news, bad news all around.
But try to get out there and get a some
kind of you know, earthquake kit. Maybe you have the money,
maybe you don't. I know, one guy's got the money.
This guy just won the lottery eight hundred million dollars.
Speaker 17 (28:55):
Well, somebody in Texas is eight hundred million dollars richer
this morning after last sight's Mega Millions drawing. According to
lottery officials, they have the winning ticket was sold at
a gas station in sugar Land, which is a suburb
of Houston. It is the seventh largest Mega Million's jackpot
in history. The winner has not come forward yet, but
when they do, they'll have the choice to take either
annual payments or the cash option. Four hundred and four
(29:18):
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Wow, four hundred and four million dollar check.
Speaker 17 (29:22):
Here are the winning numbers, just in case it's you.
Speaker 16 (29:25):
One.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
It's not you guys in Texas. Oh, this is a
national show.
Speaker 17 (29:29):
Here are the winning numbers, just in case it's you.
One two, sixteen, twenty four is sixty six and the
make ball is six.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
The last three numbers were six sixty six and.
Speaker 17 (29:42):
Six sixty six and the make ball is six.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Oh that's bad. That's bad karma for that ticket cost one. Yeah,
that's no man. I was in on it. I was
in on a couple different pools, and fortunately I have
hooked up with losers. We don't know how to pick
numbers because we didn't get anything, nothing, absolutely nothing. All right.
(30:07):
Larry David, very funny man, is on tour. You can
go see him in person.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Except Larry David. In April, the Emmy winning comedian wrapped
up the twelfth and final season of his HBO Headcurt
Your Enthusiasm, and apparently it didn't take Larry very long
to get pretty pretty wrestless. Yesterday, the Seinfeld creator revealed
he's getting back on the road to continue his live
tour a conversation with Larry David, picking up from his
Spring shows. The new fall stops are headed to ten
(30:33):
cities across the country, and he's promoting them in the
most Larry David way possible.
Speaker 16 (30:39):
There are some tickets going on sale for this thing
I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It's really it's really nothing.
Speaker 16 (30:45):
It'll be a total waste of your time.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
You know.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
There's not that.
Speaker 13 (30:49):
Many things to do to night, so yeah, I guess
if you have.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Nothing to do anyway, ruict a great way to sell it.
If you want to go, you go, you don't, you don't.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Not a big deal out.
Speaker 9 (31:04):
And that just makes me want to go. See. Larry
will be joined by a moderator at each show, with
Peyton Manning actually kicking things off and done for next week?
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Okay, what who?
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Larry will be joined by a moderator at each show,
with Peyton Manning actually.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Oh my god, these Mannings. I can't get away from
these kids. They do everything every time you turn on TV.
Him and his adope brother Eli Manning and Manny Manning.
What's the other kids to him? Chuck Manning something like that,
I'm Manning the dad. Yeah, these kids, they man these
Manning boys, they don't know how to say no. They
(31:40):
say yesterday.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Everything everything I started, I just restarted watching. I've never
seen all of it, just bits and pieces, but Kurby
Enthusiasm and I'm in about halfway through season two, and
I am telling you, dude, it is you.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Is that right? You steal my material?
Speaker 4 (31:57):
Is just there's a personality there and the things that
happened to him. It's you, man, I'm serious. Somebody stole
some crap from you.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
All right, Well I'll have to, you know, I get
a lawyer on it. See what's going on with that guy?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Or maybe he should get a lawyer. She was going
on me as possible as well. I had. You know,
I purchased a new car recently because my car was
eighteen years old and it was falling apart, falling apart.
So I got a new car and I'm looking to
sell my car two thousand and seven Lincoln Navigator. So
(32:31):
I got two estimates, two bids on selling it. You know,
I get him all the information. They won't know how
many miles. What you know is the car in good shape.
It's in great shape. The only seat that's not in
great shape is the passenger seat. But that's where I've
been sitting for eighteen years. So it's you know, not
(32:53):
the out of the blue that that seat needs some.
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Work for the age and wear on it. I mean,
you know, just the hans take it. Yeah, it's pretty
tight looking vehicle, man, Thank you nice.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
I appreciate that. So the two bids that I got
on it, maybe we'll do it at five thirty. We
got Rick D's coming on at five. But here's what
we'll do at at five thirty. We'll ask the audience
what you think the average bid. I got two bids,
two estimates on my car, and if you get closest,
I'll give you a piece that's fallen off my car.
(33:25):
I have nine pieces in the back of my car
that have fallen off.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's not a necessary piece. The vehicles in great shit.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Thank you. It's a kick plate, it's a seatbelt cover.
It's about nineteen screws and bold plate frames. Yeah, like
a light front light that fell off. I've had. I
have nine pieces that I have in the trunk that
have fallen off that car. You'll get the pieces, Yeah,
you'll get one of them. I'll give one of them
away to the person that gets closest. We'll do that
at five thirty. That's to be fun, all right. Rick
D's is coming on. Evidently he's been asked to come
(33:53):
down to like the city council or the LA County
Supervisors to give his opinion on on Los Angeles. You know,
he's a very successful guy and they want to pick
his brain on how to make the city a better place.
And he's got some kind of appointment or big meeting
with them, so he's going to run us through what
he's going to tell them. I relyve on KFI Rick

the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live
