Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's can if I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can'f I am six forty It's Conway Show. Before we
get dalag Stowe, we've got an emergency going on at
Knotsbury Farm.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Ride is stuck. Kids are trapped.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Let's go to A seven or five here, see what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Politely declined any assistance. As I mentioned, there is a
battalion chief on the scene down there, just monitoring the situation.
But they must feel fairly confident that they can get
this ride moving without any you know, without.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Any major incident.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's this the unexpected that I start to worry about
as time goes on and the hours start to grow.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah, we're already an hour number two of this incident.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Wow, and two hours two hours it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Goes on here and the sun starts to go down.
You can imagine that this might become slightly more scary.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
All right, this may be a tough question to answer, Chris,
But do you know if there is at you know.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
If the gero's guy is still working.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
We've we've gone long enough. I'm going to take this
thing over.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
One would imagine that that will be that determination will
be made cooperatively between the fire department and the.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Two hours upside down.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
This is private property, but of course they are you know,
working in unison with you know, local and at state
laws as a matter of fact, which regulation.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
If they're gonna blame the tons of fun that.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Got on that if they feel the need to begin
an actual rescue operation for example, uh, that there'll be
units and resources ready.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
H when that you know, two hours into this and
they don't have a bag below in case somebody falls.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I have a feeling, the feel that you get. It's
more of the unexplained that you start to think about.
Uh the more you.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Uh turn on channel two, I'm sorry, what channel five
or channel seven and you can see these core kids,
I imagine kids, you know, teens, early twenties.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's not a ride for seventy year olds. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
If you're seventy year on that that's your on you absolutely, yeah,
you have made that choice. That's an eighteen year old ride.
So it's one where it spins around, it goes upside down,
it goes very fast, exactly, and there's a lot of
throwing up.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
If you're north of forty.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Look like they have now tethered and it's jammed to
somebody on the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's right near the big tower, that big white towers,
the drop, the big drop.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
They may start taking some of the riders closest to
the ground off at some point. You know, you would
imagine at some point if this drags on.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I love that ride too, that revenge at first. No, No,
it's this other ride that monasumers might be right next
to you. But this ride is that I don't know.
It looks like a fan or something that you sit
in there and it kind of spins around and turns around,
and I think it's right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I've been there's a ride next to that. It's a
gravity thing where it spins around and it pins.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
You to the wall. Oh yeah, And this poor.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Young girls, I don't know how it was fifteen sixteen.
They tried to close the seatbelt once, then twice, then
a third time it didn't close because she was heavy,
and then she had to make the walk off the
ride in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I felt horrible for her. You know, it's just the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But this ride is they've got three or four ladders
up there in the wrong place, if you don't mind
me observing. The ladders are nowhere near the people that
are stranded. And these people have been stranded for two
hours sitting on this ride probably you know, fifty to
the top. One is probably seventy five maybe one hundred
feet off the ground, and they can't get this ride
(03:40):
moving again. It doesn't seem like a lot of urgency
on the ground.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
That's the.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That's what it is. Soul spin.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Soulspin. Oh, the soul spin. All right, Well, the soul
is not spinning. It's just stationary. It's the soul stationary today,
but it's upside down. Bad vibes, bad vibes. And these
poor kids, now I don't see anybody around it. They
must have cut, you know, cordon off the entire area
just in case, you know, kids start falling off that thing.
(04:11):
You don't want the other kids to see that. But
it doesn't look like it looks like the whole area
is cordoned off. There's no guests around, there's no other
fellow travelers around or family members. Where all the family
members of this crew or these kids that just go
by themselves and their families are at home watching this.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
That's possible.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But you know, I guarantee you there is a guy
or a gal on the phone right now to mom
or dad saying, hey, I'm on TV.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Turn on five, turn on seven. That's me.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Yeah, that would be my move. Wait, look right now,
that's me.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The real tough seats are the one where you're sitting
at an angle, like you know, your perpendicular to the
ground or parallel to the ground. You and you're sitting
straight up or straight it's coming you down on your
left hip or your right hip and all that pressure.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
On your head.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Yeah, that's what I keep thinking.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But these other guys got it made. Those other guys
are just sitting there like they're waiting for a bus.
You know, there's no problem there. But anyway, all right,
so the ride at Knottsbury Farm. Will keep an eye
on this, but so far two hours in the air
with these people.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Two hours? All right, Alex Stone, sorry, buddy, is Alex?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Well?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
This looks amazing. I want it'd be great to be
on that ride. Yeah, I'm gonna get a lifetime pass.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Now. Now let me ask you a question. If you're
on that ride for two hours, do you ever go
back on it?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Sure. Really is that right?
Speaker 8 (05:39):
And I want to know what the workers are doing
down there, like ratcheting down ropes. Yeah, I know, you
start spinning on its own.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, it does look like they're they're trying to, you know,
bait support it with these big wires.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
I got rather like lights on and haunted mansion down
to Disneyland or Pirates of the Caribbean where you get
to walk out through all the sets and stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That'd be cooler. But this would be all right, this
would be too bad.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
You know, this is gonna you know, it's gonna be
dark here in twenty minutes or so, and then it's
gonna get cold, it will get a little chilly. And
I don't know what you do with these with these kids,
but man, oh man, what there's some like fifty year
old on there who's like, oh, I know he's got
he had kids late in life and he's got to
prove that he's still active, and so he's on this
(06:22):
stupid thing with the kids. Yeah, and he hates it.
He regrets it. He's turning on the kids now too.
You know, I shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Had you what I have you. I hate you.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I hate your mom just about to leave, and you
said one more ride. Yeah, By the way, your mom
would be spinning in her grave if she saw us
up here. And they're like, well, mom's not dead, Well,
she's dead inside. I don't want to go into it,
but I'm just not into it. You know that's going
on on that ride right now. That's going on, all right,
So let's get to business here, or can you hang
with us?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah? Yeah, can you one? Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, let's hang on for a second. We're gonna
keep an eye on the ride here at nots Verry
Farm and wea come back. Alex Stone is with us
and we'll talk about Spirit Airlines and airlines that was
designed and for the broke is going broke?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Not a mystery.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We're live on KFI AM six forty. The ride at
NTS is the big story here in southern California, especially
Orange County. A lot of kids suspended in midair. They've
been there for two hours. There's no sign that they're
closer to being off that ride than when they got on.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
None.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's Conway Shell where keep an eye on on the
ride there at Knotsbury Farm, there are twenty two people
stuck on it. It's called Soul Spin and it's not spinning,
and there's twenty two souls on it and they're still stuck.
They've been there for two hours. Li'll over two hours,
two hours and twenty minutes, and there's really doesn't seem
(07:53):
like a lot of urgency, which I think is odd.
I love Knots but I don't like the lack of
urgency there Soul Spin. People are trapped, all right. Alex
Stone is with us. Alex, what's going on with Spirit Airlines?
And isn't that the airline that really sort of you know,
(08:15):
I designed and catered to the broke, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
At least those who don't want to pay very much. Yeah.
So coming out of the pandemic, the customer preference for
whatever reason, has changed, where going into the pandemic, people
were like, give me the cheapest airfare you can give me,
and I'm good to go. I'll get on a bus,
I don't care if I'm squeezed in there. And there's
been a big switch. The customers are willing to pay
more to get more coming out of the pandemic and
(08:41):
instead of you know, fifteen bucks to get on and
squeezed into a seat with your knees up against the
seat in front of you, and pay for a seat assigmon,
pay if you want to put a bag in the
overhead compartment, pay for a cup of water. That there
is an appetite now to pay for premium economy, for
first class, for airport clubs.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
For food to be treated.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Well, that's why Southwest made the move that is controversial
on among those who fly Southwest, that they're adding in
the premium class, the extra leg room up front, that
they're going to begin as signing seats, that they aren't
going to be the Southwest that they've always been because
the low and the ultralow cost model is no longer
in favor right now.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Spirit has tried that.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
They have tried to bundle it to be more like
every other airline and they've got their bigger front seats
up front and bundle that with priority boarding and with
free bags and internet and snacks and drinks so they
can say we're just like United, We're just like Delta.
But it didn't work, and then the bigger airlines are
now offering their super cheap fares below economy where you
(09:42):
don't get miles, you sit in the back, you board last,
you don't get an overhead bag, only the seat in
front of you, so.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You gotta bring your own seatbelt too. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Essentially, yeah, just connected up as you get in. And
so they took away the model that Spirit had been
doing and Frontier by saying, hey, you can go on
ID you can go on Delta, You're gonna sit in
the back and no room for any bags, but but
come on here and you can go on on a
bigger airline. So didn't really work for them. Mix that
with Spirit has had to ground a bunch of airbus
(10:11):
aircraft because they have a problem with the Pratt and
Whitney engines that they haven't been able to not just them,
but but Airbus in general. Engines are a big deal
that they do help out a little bit. You got
a little problem without both of them working correctly. And
then they had the failed merger with jet Blue that
looked like it was going to go through and save
them or they would become part of Jet Blue, and
(10:32):
the DOJ blocked it, and then the DOJ one in court.
So all of that Spirit has lost over two point
five billion dollars since twenty twenty. They have looming debt
payments of a billion dollars over the next two years
that they got to pay. So they had to do
it today. And this is something that a lot of
the airlines have done, All of the big ones did
it in the late nineties, early two thousand.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It didn't really affect them, so it's not gonna affect Spirit.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Then, huh, well, this is this is a little bit different.
This is not nineteen ninety nine, and this is not
the early two thousands. They've got different headwinds that they've
got to deal with. But they say for now that
they are going to run normally, that you can book,
you can use frequent flyer miles, You're not going to
notice any difference in the air. Long term, they got
to figure it out. How are they going to make money.
(11:16):
They are prime for the picking right now for another
airline to come in and get them. Under a Trump
doj would probably go through. Maybe Jeb Blue will try again.
Somebody else may come in and say, hey, we want
your They've got a young airbus fleet, we want your plane.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But if if you had a Spirit airline ticket for
a Thanksgiving or Christmas panic.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
You're fine, No, you're you're You're totally good. They've got
to stay to the FAA regulations. They do have young
Airbus aircraft that they're run fine, you're good. Their their
stock did take a major dip on Friday, signs that
this was going to go on, and then they've dropped
their stock ninety seven when they were last making money.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know what you never hear on on Spirit, ladies
and gentlemen, is there a doctor on board? Never hear
that they would there's not a doctor. No, you know,
I think they settle for nurse or nurse and training
or somebody where. Somebody watched Emergency back in the seventies.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Anybody watched Chicago nine one to one last night, anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Here's another thing you'd ever hear on nonspirit. Hey, uh,
does that guy over there pitch for the Dodgers? That
would be true even on Southwest, you don't. You don't
hear that very often. And they're a totally different category.
But but yeah, the thing that also you just look
at their numbers. People are still flying Spirit. Their numbers
are up two percent here, but their airfarers are down
(12:33):
twenty percent. So to get people go on Spirit, they'd
had to bring their airfares down twenty percent. Long term,
that's not sustainable. It's not working for you. I mean,
I think people understand now that you know, you save
up to travel and you know you're try not to
take a greyhound, you know what. But when you you
live in the Valencia sort of area, Okay, well you've
(12:54):
seen this.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You've seen the signs.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You know, back in the eighties and nineties, on your
way back to Valencia, you would see signs on apartment
buildings along the four or five saying, you know, four
ninety five moves you in. You'd be home right now
if you lived here. But the big big sign that
says four hundred and ninety five dollars moves you in.
There's a big apartment. It says four ninety five moves
you in. That's not that whole sign. It should say
(13:17):
four ninety five moves you in dot dot dot, and
the sheriff moves you out. That's the crew that's that's
hanging out there. But so what I'm saying is you
can go too cheap and it destroys your vacation.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Yeah, and I mean they like every airline. They've had
their meltdowns as well and had trouble to get back
on track. And yeah, there are people who fly to
them and say great, especially if you give that big
front seat.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But oh yeah, they used to call it like the
big ass front seat or something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Yeah, they're supposed to be very comfortable and big, and
yeah the people enjoy them. But as a mass, people
are saying they'll go on Delta, or go on United
or or Southwest where they have a bigger route network.
You can, you know, choose more more lights, you have
more options. You can go to Hawaii, go wherever you want.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Is it true also that they suffered a little bit
because you had to be in order to beat get
on Spirit airlines, you had to be anti vax Is
that true?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That might have hurt them at one time. Yeah, yeah,
maybe that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You know, I hate to see airlines that that looks
like taxi cabs, you know, fly out of business.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's, by the way, totally different topic.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Did you see the breaking news a moment ago the
governor's office just sent us no clemency for the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He I'll read you his statement that they.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Just see, Oh my god, wait this breaking news, Bella,
do we have the breaking all right?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Do we have the breaking news? Sounder, this is breaking news.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
A lot of people want them an NDI out of
out of prison and we have breaking news with Alex Stone.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Breaking news.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
As und Oh yeah, yeah, I used to love that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Exactly right, they Peter Jennet's right, typically I do. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
So the Governor's office just sent us It says the
Governor respects the role of the District Attorney and insuring
justice has served, recognizes that voters have entrusted da LEX
Hawkman to carry out this responsibility. The Governor will be
deferring to the da Elex review analysis of the Menendez
case prior to making any clemency decision. So not shutting
the door, but saying it's going to be up to
(15:30):
Hawkman to decide what to do. And I told you
last week we sat down with him and he just
said his guys just sent us another statement saying the
same thing that he says, he's got to review it.
He doesn't know what he's going to do. He will
see confidential files when he gets in on on December
twod that he doesn't have access to.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Right now, they're going to kill again. There is what
was that?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
If they come out, yes, yes, and they're gonna kill
me and John Colbo. Hey, here's more breaking news. We
have that breaking news sounder again, Steffosh. More breaking news
here now, Wow, two breaking news stories in one second.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
This is huge.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The Soul spin has landed. Soul Spin has landed. Yeah, oh,
I see it now on my monitors here. And the
kids are getting off right now.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They brought this crew in who knew what they were
doing with these big wires. They pulled that sucker down.
Now they got to all get off before it like
a like a catapult. It launches them all back into
the Disneyland.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
This guy getting off right now looks really sore, like
you just got out of a ten hour drive where yeah,
you know, you're driving to New Mexico and you get
out and you're walking a little funny.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
This guy that's right, yeah yeah, or that guy's in radio,
you know. But also I look at the you know,
the the big guys and gals that went on that.
Maybe that's the reason the Soul stopped spinning. That's possible.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I mean, look, seventy five percent of this country is huge.
We lead the we lead the world in obesity. Well
that's not true. There's some small countries in the Pacific
Southwest who blow us away. But other than that, we
are the biggest and fattest country in the world.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Man. You know, we just eat. We love eating.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
They need to put them a few more bolts on
that thing, then that's right, make sure it's good to go.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's right, buddy. I really appreciate come on, two breaking
news stories. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Man. All right, all right, there he goes Alex Stone
with ABC News. Bomb bom bom bom bom bom bom.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Peter Jennings. That was great when Peter Jennings would come on. Man,
that guy was the best.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
The soul spinner has stopped spinning and people are now off.
There's only one lady or one guy who requested a wheelchair.
And I can understand that. You know, you're upside down
for two and a half hours. You know your body's
not used to that. So code for at knots. They're
gonna take a look at this ride find out what happened.
(17:47):
But it did what it's supposed to do. It was
supposed to stop whenever it's in trouble and not put
these people's lives at risk by keep spinning.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
They're released.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yep, they're gone. Everybody's gone now now, Bellio. I saw
a guy that looked like John and another young.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Lady and two kids. Would it freak you out if
your husband had another family?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look like John. That is John.
It is John with a with a woman and two kids.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Oh my god, she was gonna say not again.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
The guy in the Michigan Michigan with.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
The blonde with the younger looking blonde.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I mean, she is cute. It's just very cute.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, got those kids look like John.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
They do look a lot like they really do.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Would they both have mammoth wind breakers on?
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Those are John's mammoth windbreakers?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
See this is the downside of the soul spinner. They
could also lead your life to spin around.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Aside from the one person being wheeled away in a chair,
the guy behind her, he's limping pretty heavy too.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
It's like, how much do you exaggerate being?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh yeah, no, they're they're they're all I mean I
don't know if you saw this on a wide shot
there there's a shuttle bus there that said sweet James
on it. They're all jumping on the shuttle bus down
to a newport. All right, we're live on KFIM six forty.
That is over at Knotts Emergency over and no clemency
(19:22):
for the Menendai kids.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So two big stories here in one segment. That's huge.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
All man, what about that Alex Stone, That guy's great. Well,
we've got the kids down on Knotsbury Farm. They're all
gonna be fine. And soul what was it, soul Spin?
It is now going to be down for a little bit.
So if you had plans on flying down there and
hitting the soul Spin, it's gonna be out for a while,
(19:56):
just a little bit. But we'll be back, not to'll
be back to the great We used to go down
there and do remotes there all the time, and man,
they treated us like royalty down there.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And Knots used to be filthy when I was a
kid growing up, and then Cedar Point took it over.
And Cedar Point owns a lot of amusement parks. They
own a big one in Sandusky, Ohio. And if you're
listing from Ohio, if you're from Ohio, you know where
Cedar Point is outside Toledo, between Toledo and Cleveland. And
that's one of the premiere parks in all of the world.
(20:33):
And if you live in the Midwest, that was your
summer big trip if you if your mom and dad
had the money to go to Cedar Point and spend
the day at Cedar Point, that was the big trip.
I remember going there once with my dad. We got
there tornado warnings, hurricane warnings, earthquake warnings, plague warnings, everything
(20:57):
happened in the same day. We're there for an hour
and we had this li But Jaga Lake was our
park growing up outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That was the move.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
But anyway, so since Cedar Point took over, not it's
very farm it's it's it's become a very clean park
and very safe park, with the exception of that ride today,
and it's a it's a cool hang and it's very
inexpensive compared to the other parks, very inexpensive compared to
you know, I'm you know, Universal, Well that's not true.
(21:28):
Universal is pretty expensive too, but there are some parks
that are, you know, pricey.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Nots is my favorite by far.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, Nots as great because you know, there's something for
everybody there. The young kids have the fast rides, the
older kids have the memories of being or the older
people have memories.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Yeah, it definitely does have the faster rides for the
kids too, And it's just it's just the vibe that
it has just walking through the whole place is just
a more cozy kind of comfy.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It's I like it.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
It's not so sort of plastic key.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And you feel like like if you misbehave at Disneyland,
they'll arrest you. You know, you're feeling like if you
misbehave at Notts, they'll be like, please, don't do that anymore.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Yeah, exactly, don't.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Please a little more understanding. And you and I need that,
you know, cause we're guys on the edge. We need
somebody to cut you out. Oh now we're going to
get in.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That place, that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I remember we were at Knots Very Farm and we're
doing a remote and they were very nice to give
us a hotel room. This is twenty twenty three years ago,
and they give us a hotel room. And my dopey
friend Malibu Dan came by and he said, buddy, do
you mind if I smoke out in your room. I'm like,
(22:44):
you're not really supposed to. I mean it says don't
smoke in the room two hundred fifth Jellar fine, the
whole thing, and this one pot was still arrestable fence.
You know, if you smoke, you get arrested for I said, ah,
please don't. And so I went to the bathroom to
get ready to go and I turned come out and he's,
you know nine, both feet are in this bong.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You know, he's hit his hard.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And literally ten minutes later, to security guys who I
thought were cops knock on the door and I'm like hello,
and I opened it just a crack, and you know,
smoke hits them in the face, right, And Malibui, yeah,
he's the back, you know, having a he's like electroluxe
in the back. And they said, we we smell pot
(23:24):
and we think it's coming from your hotel room. I said,
it's not mine. I said, I don't know where it's
coming from them. Not here, Boddy, Deny, Deny, deny. Kids,
if you're listening, that is the key to life when
you get in trouble. I didn't do it, Deny, hear
you do. That's somebody else.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
We had people that saw you and named you specifically.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Those people hate me. They have they have a vengeance
against me. They want me to, you know, to lose
my job. I know these people.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Fingerprints, Yeah, fingerprints of you.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Those fingerprints I stayed here two months ago. Those fingerprints
have been to from two months ago.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Get out of here. I didn't do anything wrong. I
want to get out of here. All right.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
We've got the kids at Knots have been released, so
that's great news. When we come back, we're at five o'clock.
We're gonna have Rich Morana and talk about the fight.
I think he's already in the fifth round. He's a
buffered and he's in the fifth round. And then there
was a and then there's a man that was crushed,
nearly crushed to death by boulders. He's coming on at
(24:28):
six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
His name is Joe.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
He's been in the hospital lom Melnda for a month.
He's gonna be there for another month, and there was big,
big news here in southern California. Just driving along Highway
eighteen or three thirty up in the mountains, and two boulders,
you know, thirty tons each come smashing down on his van,
nearly killed him. And I talked to him yesterday and
in the hospital. I'll tell you why I called him.
(24:52):
There's a reason I called him. We're live on camp'll
come back, I'll tell you that reason.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Mayo from
kf why A six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Hey, we got a guy coming on at six o'clock.
His name is Joe. Last name Joe fur Tech.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Joe Fertech sounds like a radio reporter, Joe Furtech kfive.
He was on Highway eighteen or three thirty, one of
those crazy highways up in the mountains with his brand
new van. He just got two days, you know, two
days before the accident, and a boulder, two boulders, eighteen
tons of rock fall and nearly kill him. They want
(25:31):
to amputate his leg at the scene of the crime.
Then they wanted to amputate at the hospital. He said no,
and he saved his leg. But he's been in the
hospital for thirty days, he's gonna be there for another
thirty days, and he's coming on with us at six.
And I called him yesterday and Bellio said, oh, that
was so sweet of you, because I've never met the guy.
(25:52):
And I said, wow, she goes. Let me guess it
has something to do with gambling, I said, a little bit,
little bit. I lost five straight races at del Mar
and I thought, if I find his sister's email and
then call him at the hospital, maybe maybe my luck
(26:16):
would turn around. Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
So I called him, talking for like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I have no idea what he said. I was looking
at the racing form, and I lost the next three races,
wiped out, not even close. And I'm like, well, why
would I make the call?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Didn't help because the gambling gods are onto you, I think,
so they are so on here.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, I think you're right. Got to fix that somehow.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But I had I mean, I was very close. I
was two horses away from a package. I almost got
a you know, a big payday, and I couldn't even
with the call to the hospital. Nothing nothing going. I
even bought food for the Burbank Temporary aid center, and
that didn't help either. And Jen's like, my wife's like,
(27:08):
you know, that's not how handicapping works. You don't do
a good deed and then just go to the track
and collect. Like, well, it does sometimes work that way.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
How often has it ever worked for you?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
It worked a couple of weeks ago that way. I
went to the charity on Magnolia and Buena Vista and
I donate a bunch of stuff that we didn't need anyway,
and I wanted a daily double to hit pretty pretty
nice score. So it does work sometimes, not often, but
when it does, it all comes together real nicely. Surprised
(27:41):
we didn't hear about it. Oh yeah, yeah, that was
a big That was a big score. That was I
mean not big, I mean I got my money back
for the day.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
We have the NOS Summer Soul Soul Spin. The kids
are off and they're on two other rides.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Now. I don't know, you think they go onto the
rides where they go home and they count their blessings.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Do they get a free ticket for another day? I
bet they do. I bet they do. Do they get
a free meal? You bet? You bet? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Theots Chicken cafe loaded now with guys with the interesting
gates because they've been held in suspension in the air
for two and a half hours. So they all have
interesting gates, interesting walks. You know, they're all walking like
they're ninety five years old, and they're filling up that
chicken cafe, that chicken restaurant at knots. All right, let's
(28:34):
find out what's going on. How these lads and lasses
got off this ride?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Two hours twenty two passengers.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
All right, that's my fault.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Stuff aitionally crank up the volume here, hold on, wait
a minute, let me put some boom in it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Two hours twenty two passengers stuck on this ride horizontal
position at just seconds ago. We've got video as the
shoulder harnesses were released and a flurry of guests immediately
got up from those seats after being in a very
uncomfortable position again for a couple of hours. Several of
them appear to be in some distress. Lots of folks
(29:10):
hobbling off the ride.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yes, hobbling is a good term, hobbling because they're a mass.
You know, they have no blood getting to their legs
for two and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
One woman appears to be unable to get up. She
is now in a wheelchair, and there are other folks
who have literally.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's what Sully Sullenberg said when he was they said,
can you get to Titeborough? You know, he's the guy
that land a plane in the Hudson for US air Airways,
And they say, can you get to Teaborough, will open
up any any runway you wanted, Teeterborough. And his response, unable.
And this is what this lady's response was, unable the ride.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
One woman appears to be unable to get up, unable,
unable to get up. She is now in a wheelchair.
And there are other folks who have literally limped away.
And you you can understand why, especially if their legs
and hips were dangling for so long, depending on which
end of those spokes.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Why'd you dump that? He said? Hips, We don't have
to dump that.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I have to dumb hips, especially if their legs and
hips were dangling. Yeah, hips, hips, hips were dangling.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Hips were dangling. Oh I see why you dumped it.
I see, But he said hips, hips were dangling.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Hips were dangling.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, we can play that all day and not get
in any trouble at all.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Hips were dangling for so long, depending on.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Which end you can play that part of it too.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Hips were dangling for so long.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, no problem there, we're clean.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Depending on which end of those spokes you were in,
it could have been an extremely uncomfortable and dangerous situation
as a matter of fact. But even though it appears
that everybody's okay, certainly many of these folks may have
to get checked out, and obviously a major investigation will
be conducted and to what caused this ride malfunction. But
(31:09):
fortunately we can't say that everybody has now exited the
ride after a two hour or deal, bringing Fiesta Village
to a halt.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, Fiesta Village, no buenos.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Here at Knotsbery Farm, reporting live from Air seven. I'm
Chris Christy, ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
I would just.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Fiesta Village. That's where Montezuma's revenge is soul spin. That's
a cool area.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Hips were dangling for so long, Hips.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
For dangling so long. All right, that's over. Thank god.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Everybody made it. Everybody, everybody made it off. We'll see
if they're in good shape. Hopefully they are. And don't
forget this Friday. We have a remote in Orange County. Yes,
it's our last remote until we do another one a
week later in Orange County at the White House. So

or so ago.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
We're gonna recap the fight when we come back with
Rich Marada and then Rich Murda at five oh five

(33:38):

pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeart Radio app.
It's can if I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can'f I am six forty It's Conway Show. Before we
get dalag Stowe, we've got an emergency going on at
Knotsbury Farm.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Ride is stuck. Kids are trapped.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Let's go to A seven or five here, see what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Politely declined any assistance. As I mentioned, there is a
battalion chief on the scene down there, just monitoring the situation.
But they must feel fairly confident that they can get
this ride moving without any you know, without.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
Any major incident.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It's this the unexpected that I start to worry about
as time goes on and the hours start to grow.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah, we're already an hour number two of this incident.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Wow, and two hours two hours it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Goes on here and the sun starts to go down.
You can imagine that this might become slightly more scary.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
All right, this may be a tough question to answer, Chris,
But do you know if there is at you know.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
If the gero's guy is still working.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
We've we've gone long enough. I'm going to take this
thing over.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
One would imagine that that will be that determination will
be made cooperatively between the fire department and the.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Two hours upside down.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
This is private property, but of course they are you know,
working in unison with you know, local and at state
laws as a matter of fact, which regulation.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
If they're gonna blame the tons of fun that.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Got on that if they feel the need to begin
an actual rescue operation for example, uh, that there'll be
units and resources ready.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
H when that you know, two hours into this and
they don't have a bag below in case somebody falls.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I have a feeling, the feel that you get. It's
more of the unexplained that you start to think about.
Uh the more you.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Uh turn on channel two, I'm sorry, what channel five
or channel seven and you can see these core kids,
I imagine kids, you know, teens, early twenties.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's not a ride for seventy year olds. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
If you're seventy year on that that's your on you absolutely, yeah,
you have made that choice. That's an eighteen year old ride.
So it's one where it spins around, it goes upside down,
it goes very fast, exactly, and there's a lot of
throwing up.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
If you're north of forty.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Look like they have now tethered and it's jammed to
somebody on the ground.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's right near the big tower, that big white towers,
the drop, the big drop.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
They may start taking some of the riders closest to
the ground off at some point. You know, you would
imagine at some point if this drags on.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I love that ride too, that revenge at first. No, No,
it's this other ride that monasumers might be right next
to you. But this ride is that I don't know.
It looks like a fan or something that you sit
in there and it kind of spins around and turns around,
and I think it's right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I've been there's a ride next to that. It's a
gravity thing where it spins around and it pins.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
You to the wall. Oh yeah, And this poor.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Young girls, I don't know how it was fifteen sixteen.
They tried to close the seatbelt once, then twice, then
a third time it didn't close because she was heavy,
and then she had to make the walk off the
ride in front of everybody.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I felt horrible for her. You know, it's just the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
But this ride is they've got three or four ladders
up there in the wrong place, if you don't mind
me observing. The ladders are nowhere near the people that
are stranded. And these people have been stranded for two
hours sitting on this ride probably you know, fifty to
the top. One is probably seventy five maybe one hundred
feet off the ground, and they can't get this ride
(03:40):
moving again. It doesn't seem like a lot of urgency
on the ground.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
That's the.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That's what it is. Soul spin.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Soulspin. Oh, the soul spin. All right, Well, the soul
is not spinning. It's just stationary. It's the soul stationary today,
but it's upside down. Bad vibes, bad vibes. And these
poor kids, now I don't see anybody around it. They
must have cut, you know, cordon off the entire area
just in case, you know, kids start falling off that thing.
(04:11):
You don't want the other kids to see that. But
it doesn't look like it looks like the whole area
is cordoned off. There's no guests around, there's no other
fellow travelers around or family members. Where all the family
members of this crew or these kids that just go
by themselves and their families are at home watching this.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
That's possible.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But you know, I guarantee you there is a guy
or a gal on the phone right now to mom
or dad saying, hey, I'm on TV.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Turn on five, turn on seven. That's me.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Yeah, that would be my move. Wait, look right now,
that's me.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The real tough seats are the one where you're sitting
at an angle, like you know, your perpendicular to the
ground or parallel to the ground. You and you're sitting
straight up or straight it's coming you down on your
left hip or your right hip and all that pressure.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
On your head.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Yeah, that's what I keep thinking.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But these other guys got it made. Those other guys
are just sitting there like they're waiting for a bus.
You know, there's no problem there. But anyway, all right,
so the ride at Knottsbury Farm. Will keep an eye
on this, but so far two hours in the air
with these people.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Two hours? All right, Alex Stone, sorry, buddy, is Alex?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
Well?
Speaker 8 (05:24):
This looks amazing. I want it'd be great to be
on that ride. Yeah, I'm gonna get a lifetime pass.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Now. Now let me ask you a question. If you're
on that ride for two hours, do you ever go
back on it?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Sure. Really is that right?
Speaker 8 (05:39):
And I want to know what the workers are doing
down there, like ratcheting down ropes. Yeah, I know, you
start spinning on its own.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, it does look like they're they're trying to, you know,
bait support it with these big wires.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
I got rather like lights on and haunted mansion down
to Disneyland or Pirates of the Caribbean where you get
to walk out through all the sets and stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
That'd be cooler. But this would be all right, this
would be too bad.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
You know, this is gonna you know, it's gonna be
dark here in twenty minutes or so, and then it's
gonna get cold, it will get a little chilly. And
I don't know what you do with these with these kids,
but man, oh man, what there's some like fifty year
old on there who's like, oh, I know he's got
he had kids late in life and he's got to
prove that he's still active, and so he's on this
(06:22):
stupid thing with the kids. Yeah, and he hates it.
He regrets it. He's turning on the kids now too.
You know, I shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Had you what I have you. I hate you.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I hate your mom just about to leave, and you
said one more ride. Yeah, By the way, your mom
would be spinning in her grave if she saw us
up here. And they're like, well, mom's not dead, Well,
she's dead inside. I don't want to go into it,
but I'm just not into it. You know that's going
on on that ride right now. That's going on, all right,
So let's get to business here, or can you hang
with us?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah? Yeah, can you one? Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All right, let's hang on for a second. We're gonna
keep an eye on the ride here at nots Verry
Farm and wea come back. Alex Stone is with us
and we'll talk about Spirit Airlines and airlines that was
designed and for the broke is going broke?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Not a mystery.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We're live on KFI AM six forty. The ride at
NTS is the big story here in southern California, especially
Orange County. A lot of kids suspended in midair. They've
been there for two hours. There's no sign that they're
closer to being off that ride than when they got on.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
None.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's Conway Shell where keep an eye on on the
ride there at Knotsbury Farm, there are twenty two people
stuck on it. It's called Soul Spin and it's not spinning,
and there's twenty two souls on it and they're still stuck.
They've been there for two hours. Li'll over two hours,
two hours and twenty minutes, and there's really doesn't seem
(07:53):
like a lot of urgency, which I think is odd.
I love Knots but I don't like the lack of
urgency there Soul Spin. People are trapped, all right. Alex
Stone is with us. Alex, what's going on with Spirit Airlines?
And isn't that the airline that really sort of you know,
(08:15):
I designed and catered to the broke, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:19):
At least those who don't want to pay very much. Yeah.
So coming out of the pandemic, the customer preference for
whatever reason, has changed, where going into the pandemic, people
were like, give me the cheapest airfare you can give me,
and I'm good to go. I'll get on a bus,
I don't care if I'm squeezed in there. And there's
been a big switch. The customers are willing to pay
more to get more coming out of the pandemic and
(08:41):
instead of you know, fifteen bucks to get on and
squeezed into a seat with your knees up against the
seat in front of you, and pay for a seat assigmon,
pay if you want to put a bag in the
overhead compartment, pay for a cup of water. That there
is an appetite now to pay for premium economy, for
first class, for airport clubs.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
For food to be treated.
Speaker 8 (09:01):
Well, that's why Southwest made the move that is controversial
on among those who fly Southwest, that they're adding in
the premium class, the extra leg room up front, that
they're going to begin as signing seats, that they aren't
going to be the Southwest that they've always been because
the low and the ultralow cost model is no longer
in favor right now.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Spirit has tried that.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
They have tried to bundle it to be more like
every other airline and they've got their bigger front seats
up front and bundle that with priority boarding and with
free bags and internet and snacks and drinks so they
can say we're just like United, We're just like Delta.
But it didn't work, and then the bigger airlines are
now offering their super cheap fares below economy where you
(09:42):
don't get miles, you sit in the back, you board last,
you don't get an overhead bag, only the seat in
front of you, so.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You gotta bring your own seatbelt too. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Essentially, yeah, just connected up as you get in. And
so they took away the model that Spirit had been
doing and Frontier by saying, hey, you can go on
ID you can go on Delta, You're gonna sit in
the back and no room for any bags, but but
come on here and you can go on on a
bigger airline. So didn't really work for them. Mix that
with Spirit has had to ground a bunch of airbus
(10:11):
aircraft because they have a problem with the Pratt and
Whitney engines that they haven't been able to not just them,
but but Airbus in general. Engines are a big deal
that they do help out a little bit. You got
a little problem without both of them working correctly. And
then they had the failed merger with jet Blue that
looked like it was going to go through and save
them or they would become part of Jet Blue, and
(10:32):
the DOJ blocked it, and then the DOJ one in court.
So all of that Spirit has lost over two point
five billion dollars since twenty twenty. They have looming debt
payments of a billion dollars over the next two years
that they got to pay. So they had to do
it today. And this is something that a lot of
the airlines have done, All of the big ones did
it in the late nineties, early two thousand.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It didn't really affect them, so it's not gonna affect Spirit.
Speaker 8 (10:55):
Then, huh, well, this is this is a little bit different.
This is not nineteen ninety nine, and this is not
the early two thousands. They've got different headwinds that they've
got to deal with. But they say for now that
they are going to run normally, that you can book,
you can use frequent flyer miles, You're not going to
notice any difference in the air. Long term, they got
to figure it out. How are they going to make money.
(11:16):
They are prime for the picking right now for another
airline to come in and get them. Under a Trump
doj would probably go through. Maybe Jeb Blue will try again.
Somebody else may come in and say, hey, we want
your They've got a young airbus fleet, we want your plane.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
But if if you had a Spirit airline ticket for
a Thanksgiving or Christmas panic.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
You're fine, No, you're you're You're totally good. They've got
to stay to the FAA regulations. They do have young
Airbus aircraft that they're run fine, you're good. Their their
stock did take a major dip on Friday, signs that
this was going to go on, and then they've dropped
their stock ninety seven when they were last making money.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know what you never hear on on Spirit, ladies
and gentlemen, is there a doctor on board? Never hear
that they would there's not a doctor. No, you know,
I think they settle for nurse or nurse and training
or somebody where. Somebody watched Emergency back in the seventies.
Speaker 8 (12:09):
Anybody watched Chicago nine one to one last night, anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Here's another thing you'd ever hear on nonspirit. Hey, uh,
does that guy over there pitch for the Dodgers? That
would be true even on Southwest, you don't. You don't
hear that very often. And they're a totally different category.
But but yeah, the thing that also you just look
at their numbers. People are still flying Spirit. Their numbers
are up two percent here, but their airfarers are down
(12:33):
twenty percent. So to get people go on Spirit, they'd
had to bring their airfares down twenty percent. Long term,
that's not sustainable. It's not working for you. I mean,
I think people understand now that you know, you save
up to travel and you know you're try not to
take a greyhound, you know what. But when you you
live in the Valencia sort of area, Okay, well you've
(12:54):
seen this.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You've seen the signs.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You know, back in the eighties and nineties, on your
way back to Valencia, you would see signs on apartment
buildings along the four or five saying, you know, four
ninety five moves you in. You'd be home right now
if you lived here. But the big big sign that
says four hundred and ninety five dollars moves you in.
There's a big apartment. It says four ninety five moves
you in. That's not that whole sign. It should say
(13:17):
four ninety five moves you in dot dot dot, and
the sheriff moves you out. That's the crew that's that's
hanging out there. But so what I'm saying is you
can go too cheap and it destroys your vacation.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Yeah, and I mean they like every airline. They've had
their meltdowns as well and had trouble to get back
on track. And yeah, there are people who fly to
them and say great, especially if you give that big
front seat.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But oh yeah, they used to call it like the
big ass front seat or something like that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Yeah, they're supposed to be very comfortable and big, and
yeah the people enjoy them. But as a mass, people
are saying they'll go on Delta, or go on United
or or Southwest where they have a bigger route network.
You can, you know, choose more more lights, you have
more options. You can go to Hawaii, go wherever you want.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Is it true also that they suffered a little bit
because you had to be in order to beat get
on Spirit airlines, you had to be anti vax Is
that true?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That might have hurt them at one time. Yeah, yeah,
maybe that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You know, I hate to see airlines that that looks
like taxi cabs, you know, fly out of business.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's, by the way, totally different topic.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Did you see the breaking news a moment ago the
governor's office just sent us no clemency for the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He I'll read you his statement that they.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Just see, Oh my god, wait this breaking news, Bella,
do we have the breaking all right?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Do we have the breaking news? Sounder, this is breaking news.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
A lot of people want them an NDI out of
out of prison and we have breaking news with Alex Stone.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Breaking news.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
As und Oh yeah, yeah, I used to love that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Exactly right, they Peter Jennet's right, typically I do. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
So the Governor's office just sent us It says the
Governor respects the role of the District Attorney and insuring
justice has served, recognizes that voters have entrusted da LEX
Hawkman to carry out this responsibility. The Governor will be
deferring to the da Elex review analysis of the Menendez
case prior to making any clemency decision. So not shutting
the door, but saying it's going to be up to
(15:30):
Hawkman to decide what to do. And I told you
last week we sat down with him and he just
said his guys just sent us another statement saying the
same thing that he says, he's got to review it.
He doesn't know what he's going to do. He will
see confidential files when he gets in on on December
twod that he doesn't have access to.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Right now, they're going to kill again. There is what
was that?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
If they come out, yes, yes, and they're gonna kill
me and John Colbo. Hey, here's more breaking news. We
have that breaking news sounder again, Steffosh. More breaking news
here now, Wow, two breaking news stories in one second.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
This is huge.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The Soul spin has landed. Soul Spin has landed. Yeah, oh,
I see it now on my monitors here. And the
kids are getting off right now.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
They brought this crew in who knew what they were
doing with these big wires. They pulled that sucker down.
Now they got to all get off before it like
a like a catapult. It launches them all back into
the Disneyland.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
This guy getting off right now looks really sore, like
you just got out of a ten hour drive where yeah,
you know, you're driving to New Mexico and you get
out and you're walking a little funny.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
This guy that's right, yeah yeah, or that guy's in radio,
you know. But also I look at the you know,
the the big guys and gals that went on that.
Maybe that's the reason the Soul stopped spinning. That's possible.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
I mean, look, seventy five percent of this country is huge.
We lead the we lead the world in obesity. Well
that's not true. There's some small countries in the Pacific
Southwest who blow us away. But other than that, we
are the biggest and fattest country in the world.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Man. You know, we just eat. We love eating.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
They need to put them a few more bolts on
that thing, then that's right, make sure it's good to go.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's right, buddy. I really appreciate come on, two breaking
news stories. I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Man. All right, all right, there he goes Alex Stone
with ABC News. Bomb bom bom bom bom bom bom.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Peter Jennings. That was great when Peter Jennings would come on. Man,
that guy was the best.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
The soul spinner has stopped spinning and people are now off.
There's only one lady or one guy who requested a wheelchair.
And I can understand that. You know, you're upside down
for two and a half hours. You know your body's
not used to that. So code for at knots. They're
gonna take a look at this ride find out what happened.
(17:47):
But it did what it's supposed to do. It was
supposed to stop whenever it's in trouble and not put
these people's lives at risk by keep spinning.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
They're released.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yep, they're gone. Everybody's gone now now, Bellio. I saw
a guy that looked like John and another young.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Lady and two kids. Would it freak you out if
your husband had another family?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, look like John. That is John.
It is John with a with a woman and two kids.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Oh my god, she was gonna say not again.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
The guy in the Michigan Michigan with.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
The blonde with the younger looking blonde.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I mean, she is cute. It's just very cute.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, got those kids look like John.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
They do look a lot like they really do.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Would they both have mammoth wind breakers on?
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Those are John's mammoth windbreakers?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
See this is the downside of the soul spinner. They
could also lead your life to spin around.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Aside from the one person being wheeled away in a chair,
the guy behind her, he's limping pretty heavy too.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
It's like, how much do you exaggerate being?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh yeah, no, they're they're they're all I mean I
don't know if you saw this on a wide shot
there there's a shuttle bus there that said sweet James
on it. They're all jumping on the shuttle bus down
to a newport. All right, we're live on KFIM six forty.
That is over at Knotts Emergency over and no clemency
(19:22):
for the Menendai kids.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So two big stories here in one segment. That's huge.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
All man, what about that Alex Stone, That guy's great. Well,
we've got the kids down on Knotsbury Farm. They're all
gonna be fine. And soul what was it, soul Spin?
It is now going to be down for a little bit.
So if you had plans on flying down there and
hitting the soul Spin, it's gonna be out for a while,
(19:56):
just a little bit. But we'll be back, not to'll
be back to the great We used to go down
there and do remotes there all the time, and man,
they treated us like royalty down there.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And Knots used to be filthy when I was a
kid growing up, and then Cedar Point took it over.
And Cedar Point owns a lot of amusement parks. They
own a big one in Sandusky, Ohio. And if you're
listing from Ohio, if you're from Ohio, you know where
Cedar Point is outside Toledo, between Toledo and Cleveland. And
that's one of the premiere parks in all of the world.
(20:33):
And if you live in the Midwest, that was your
summer big trip if you if your mom and dad
had the money to go to Cedar Point and spend
the day at Cedar Point, that was the big trip.
I remember going there once with my dad. We got
there tornado warnings, hurricane warnings, earthquake warnings, plague warnings, everything
(20:57):
happened in the same day. We're there for an hour
and we had this li But Jaga Lake was our
park growing up outside of Cleveland, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That was the move.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
But anyway, so since Cedar Point took over, not it's
very farm it's it's it's become a very clean park
and very safe park, with the exception of that ride today,
and it's a it's a cool hang and it's very
inexpensive compared to the other parks, very inexpensive compared to
you know, I'm you know, Universal, Well that's not true.
(21:28):
Universal is pretty expensive too, but there are some parks
that are, you know, pricey.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Nots is my favorite by far.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, Nots as great because you know, there's something for
everybody there. The young kids have the fast rides, the
older kids have the memories of being or the older
people have memories.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Yeah, it definitely does have the faster rides for the
kids too, And it's just it's just the vibe that
it has just walking through the whole place is just
a more cozy kind of comfy.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It's I like it.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
It's not so sort of plastic key.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And you feel like like if you misbehave at Disneyland,
they'll arrest you. You know, you're feeling like if you
misbehave at Notts, they'll be like, please, don't do that anymore.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
Yeah, exactly, don't.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Please a little more understanding. And you and I need that,
you know, cause we're guys on the edge. We need
somebody to cut you out. Oh now we're going to
get in.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That place, that's right.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I remember we were at Knots Very Farm and we're
doing a remote and they were very nice to give
us a hotel room. This is twenty twenty three years ago,
and they give us a hotel room. And my dopey
friend Malibu Dan came by and he said, buddy, do
you mind if I smoke out in your room. I'm like,
(22:44):
you're not really supposed to. I mean it says don't
smoke in the room two hundred fifth Jellar fine, the
whole thing, and this one pot was still arrestable fence.
You know, if you smoke, you get arrested for I said, ah,
please don't. And so I went to the bathroom to
get ready to go and I turned come out and he's,
you know nine, both feet are in this bong.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You know, he's hit his hard.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And literally ten minutes later, to security guys who I
thought were cops knock on the door and I'm like hello,
and I opened it just a crack, and you know,
smoke hits them in the face, right, And Malibui, yeah,
he's the back, you know, having a he's like electroluxe
in the back. And they said, we we smell pot
(23:24):
and we think it's coming from your hotel room. I said,
it's not mine. I said, I don't know where it's
coming from them. Not here, Boddy, Deny, Deny, deny. Kids,
if you're listening, that is the key to life when
you get in trouble. I didn't do it, Deny, hear
you do. That's somebody else.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
We had people that saw you and named you specifically.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Those people hate me. They have they have a vengeance
against me. They want me to, you know, to lose
my job. I know these people.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Fingerprints, Yeah, fingerprints of you.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Those fingerprints I stayed here two months ago. Those fingerprints
have been to from two months ago.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Get out of here. I didn't do anything wrong. I
want to get out of here. All right.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
We've got the kids at Knots have been released, so
that's great news. When we come back, we're at five o'clock.
We're gonna have Rich Morana and talk about the fight.
I think he's already in the fifth round. He's a
buffered and he's in the fifth round. And then there
was a and then there's a man that was crushed,
nearly crushed to death by boulders. He's coming on at
(24:28):
six o'clock.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
His name is Joe.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
He's been in the hospital lom Melnda for a month.
He's gonna be there for another month, and there was big,
big news here in southern California. Just driving along Highway
eighteen or three thirty up in the mountains, and two boulders,
you know, thirty tons each come smashing down on his van,
nearly killed him. And I talked to him yesterday and
in the hospital. I'll tell you why I called him.
(24:52):
There's a reason I called him. We're live on camp'll
come back, I'll tell you that reason.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Mayo from
kf why A six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Hey, we got a guy coming on at six o'clock.
His name is Joe. Last name Joe fur Tech.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Joe Fertech sounds like a radio reporter, Joe Furtech kfive.
He was on Highway eighteen or three thirty, one of
those crazy highways up in the mountains with his brand
new van. He just got two days, you know, two
days before the accident, and a boulder, two boulders, eighteen
tons of rock fall and nearly kill him. They want
(25:31):
to amputate his leg at the scene of the crime.
Then they wanted to amputate at the hospital. He said no,
and he saved his leg. But he's been in the
hospital for thirty days, he's gonna be there for another
thirty days, and he's coming on with us at six.
And I called him yesterday and Bellio said, oh, that
was so sweet of you, because I've never met the guy.
(25:52):
And I said, wow, she goes. Let me guess it
has something to do with gambling, I said, a little bit,
little bit. I lost five straight races at del Mar
and I thought, if I find his sister's email and
then call him at the hospital, maybe maybe my luck
(26:16):
would turn around. Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
So I called him, talking for like ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I have no idea what he said. I was looking
at the racing form, and I lost the next three races,
wiped out, not even close. And I'm like, well, why
would I make the call?
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Didn't help because the gambling gods are onto you, I think,
so they are so on here.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, I think you're right. Got to fix that somehow.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But I had I mean, I was very close. I
was two horses away from a package. I almost got
a you know, a big payday, and I couldn't even
with the call to the hospital. Nothing nothing going. I
even bought food for the Burbank Temporary aid center, and
that didn't help either. And Jen's like, my wife's like,
(27:08):
you know, that's not how handicapping works. You don't do
a good deed and then just go to the track
and collect. Like, well, it does sometimes work that way.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
How often has it ever worked for you?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
It worked a couple of weeks ago that way. I
went to the charity on Magnolia and Buena Vista and
I donate a bunch of stuff that we didn't need anyway,
and I wanted a daily double to hit pretty pretty
nice score. So it does work sometimes, not often, but
when it does, it all comes together real nicely. Surprised
(27:41):
we didn't hear about it. Oh yeah, yeah, that was
a big That was a big score. That was I
mean not big, I mean I got my money back
for the day.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
We have the NOS Summer Soul Soul Spin. The kids
are off and they're on two other rides.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Now. I don't know, you think they go onto the
rides where they go home and they count their blessings.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Do they get a free ticket for another day? I
bet they do. I bet they do. Do they get
a free meal? You bet? You bet? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Theots Chicken cafe loaded now with guys with the interesting
gates because they've been held in suspension in the air
for two and a half hours. So they all have
interesting gates, interesting walks. You know, they're all walking like
they're ninety five years old, and they're filling up that
chicken cafe, that chicken restaurant at knots. All right, let's
(28:34):
find out what's going on. How these lads and lasses
got off this ride?
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Two hours twenty two passengers.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
All right, that's my fault.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Stuff aitionally crank up the volume here, hold on, wait
a minute, let me put some boom in it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Two hours twenty two passengers stuck on this ride horizontal
position at just seconds ago. We've got video as the
shoulder harnesses were released and a flurry of guests immediately
got up from those seats after being in a very
uncomfortable position again for a couple of hours. Several of
them appear to be in some distress. Lots of folks
(29:10):
hobbling off the ride.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yes, hobbling is a good term, hobbling because they're a mass.
You know, they have no blood getting to their legs
for two and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
One woman appears to be unable to get up. She
is now in a wheelchair, and there are other folks
who have literally.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's what Sully Sullenberg said when he was they said,
can you get to Titeborough? You know, he's the guy
that land a plane in the Hudson for US air Airways,
And they say, can you get to Teaborough, will open
up any any runway you wanted, Teeterborough. And his response, unable.
And this is what this lady's response was, unable the ride.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
One woman appears to be unable to get up, unable,
unable to get up. She is now in a wheelchair.
And there are other folks who have literally limped away.
And you you can understand why, especially if their legs
and hips were dangling for so long, depending on which
end of those spokes.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Why'd you dump that? He said? Hips, We don't have
to dump that.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I have to dumb hips, especially if their legs and
hips were dangling. Yeah, hips, hips, hips were dangling.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Hips were dangling. Oh I see why you dumped it.
I see, But he said hips, hips were dangling.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Hips were dangling.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, we can play that all day and not get
in any trouble at all.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Hips were dangling for so long, depending on.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Which end you can play that part of it too.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Hips were dangling for so long.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Yeah, no problem there, we're clean.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Depending on which end of those spokes you were in,
it could have been an extremely uncomfortable and dangerous situation
as a matter of fact. But even though it appears
that everybody's okay, certainly many of these folks may have
to get checked out, and obviously a major investigation will
be conducted and to what caused this ride malfunction. But
(31:09):
fortunately we can't say that everybody has now exited the
ride after a two hour or deal, bringing Fiesta Village
to a halt.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Yeah, Fiesta Village, no buenos.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Here at Knotsbery Farm, reporting live from Air seven. I'm
Chris Christy, ABC seven.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
I would just.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Fiesta Village. That's where Montezuma's revenge is soul spin. That's
a cool area.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Hips were dangling for so long, Hips.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
For dangling so long. All right, that's over. Thank god.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Everybody made it. Everybody, everybody made it off. We'll see
if they're in good shape. Hopefully they are. And don't
forget this Friday. We have a remote in Orange County. Yes,
it's our last remote until we do another one a
