Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the Conway Show. Dig dong. It is Friday. That's a
cool deal. Everybody enjoys their Friday. Can get out, enjoy
yourself and you can start your buzz early. You know,
(00:21):
I get all crazy on Friday night. Friday night used
to be the coolest night, you know, when you're a kid,
because school lets out and that weekend starts and Friday afternoon,
Friday evening, man, you got the whole world in front
of you. You know, you can sleep in on a
Saturday and then you got another Saturday night to enjoy yourself.
The worst hour in my life, or at least in
(00:45):
the work where you can and week was Sunday at
four o'clock. Sunday at four o'clock because I knew that,
you know, dinner was about to happen, and my mom
was about to get us into you know, school mode,
so we'd have to get ready for school. Football was
over at four o'clock. When I was growing up, football
(01:07):
ended at four pm on a Sunday. It was over.
There was no late night game. The one o'clock games
ended around four o'clock, and as soon as that last
football game was over, you got into school mode and
it was horrible. But now Friday is awesome. Man, Friday
is great. We got a big show, we got a
(01:27):
lot going on. We're going to talk about that lithium battery,
those stupid things that blew up belly. I believe we
have a giveaway tonight, right, we sure do for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, Disneyland or California Adventure tickets.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Ah, this is great. When do you want to do it?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I was thinking in the six o'clock out.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay, let's say right after that six thirty break. I
love it. Well, we come back after the six twenty
seven break, which we always are pretty late. We'll do that. Yeah,
we are always late with the breaks. That's the one
thing management's been banging on me since I started here.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, no need to pylon.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, they have brought that up. I mean they've talked
to me about it.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I'm I can't control the love, the information, hate the attitude,
so you know what I mean. Yeah, but it's hard
to take, you know, to break on time. It's difficult.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Because it disrupts the flow of the show, you know,
in the middle of you know, doing something and giving
out information and all of a sudden, bang, it's over.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I think the art of a good tease.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Continue it in the next segment.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
By the way, what station are you listening to? I
know it's not KFI. You listened to another radio station? Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
Bell it was one foot out the door here. All right,
let's get into the stupid lithium batteries and the cleanup
in the San Pedro Long Beach area. This is affecting
a lot of commerce, a lot of trucks in that area,
(02:57):
and all of them listening to KFI, all of them.
If you're a truck driver, you're a KFI fan. I
know that to be true, and I'll tell you how.
I know that. We were working here one night. I
used to work seven to ten pm, and then it
was six to ten pm. But I remember leaving here
one night and talking about oh, we were talking two
(03:18):
truckers and about truckers and long haulers and stuff like that.
And I went over to Vaughn's Belly, you know where
the Vons is on Pass Avenue.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, that was my Vonn's.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, So I went over there to grab something I
and I couldn't find it there, so I went over
to Smart and Final and I then I went into
Save on Drugs or what is it called now CVS, Yes, CVS,
and I come out of CVS I and I wasn't looking.
(03:48):
I looked the other way, and I was just I
don't know what happened. I wasn't looking, And I walked
into the parking lot and a truck slammed its brakes
on eighteen wheeler, fully packed, fully loaded eighteen wheelers slams
its break and misses me by about three or four feet.
And I said to the guy, said, oh, man, I'm sorry,
that's my fault. And he goes, oh no, he goes,
I'm glad I didn't he Are you want kfine? I said,
(04:11):
oh yeah, he goes, Oh my god, he goes. Ten
minutes ago, I was listening to you talk to truck drivers,
and I said, yeah, it's not odd. Wouldn't that have
been ironic if twenty minutes ago I was talking about
truck drivers and then twenty minutes later you ran over
me with one of these trucks. But man, I tell you, belly,
a lot of people listening to KFI, and imagine a
lot of the truck drivers down who have been caught
(04:31):
up in this lithium battery nightmare. They listened to KFI.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
A lot of.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Activity going on around that rig right now. We do
have a much better view from Air seven right now,
if we could take that now. This truck has not
shown any significant flames or smoke for a while now,
So fire crews then.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Move it on.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Let's go throw it in the ocean. Let's move on.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Have moved in with a crane and forkliffs. They're going
to try to transfer the rig not to a flatbed
and move it into a nearby empty lot. But fire
officials say there are no time guarantees here that if
this movement stirs up those lithium batteries and sparks and
other fire there's a good chance they're gonna lay that
container back down and wait. But at least we are
(05:11):
seeing some progress toward reopening this highway.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
We are already twenty seven hours into this LA shut
out and overturned semi carrying six industrial sized lithium batteries,
forcing the closure of us not.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Fully charged thirty to sixty percent charge.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Are these batteries forcing the closure of a stretch of
Seaside Avenue, a key roadway for the Port of Los Angeles.
The Vincent Thomas Bridge unscathed but closed. The hazardous payload
now showing hardly any signs of fire, but the fire
department is still moving slowly.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh, we gotta move faster, gotta move faster. It's commerce.
That's why our freeways are all banged up. You know,
if you go to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona where they
have a lot of heat, a lot of snow, and
the you know, the conditions, the weather conditions are should
chew up these roads. They're beautiful roads in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington.
(06:05):
They're beautiful. I have a theory on why our roads
are so messed up. It's because we have about seventy
five percent of all of the all of the supplies
that come into this country come through sam Pedro and
Long Beach, and these trucks they weigh tons and tons
and tons and they drive over our freeways and they
(06:26):
chew them up. That's where we get all these potholes
and these freeways that are all banged up.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
The reason for that is so that we do not
create more problems another bigger hazardous materials spill or reignite
a new thermal runaway on one of the batteries.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Lithium batteries can post like I just got them off.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He's like, yeah, we got it, we got it.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
We got to reignize a new thermal runaway on one
of the batteries.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Lithium batteries can pose serious fire danger, says This drone
video of direct shows Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And exploded when that drone guy was hovering over. That's wild.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
When damaged, they can be explosive. Their fires can spread
quickly and they release toxic fumes. In this case, for
your officials choosing to shut down the road, stay back
and let it burn out, or at least burn down
enough where it can be safe enough to move.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, there it goes, so I don't know. Hopefully the
next couple hours they moved that off to a parking lot.
We can open that up again. But it's been a long,
really tough run for truckers in that area, and really
really tough tough week.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
All right, Nico Sapphire, is that I pronounce your last night? Yes, sir,
ding'd wlong with you and Nico, you are with col Lutheran.
You go to stool Cal Luthern, yeah, Calu and a
lot of the kids came in from I don't know
what class, radio, Oh right, right, that's yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
When we came in for the tour. Yeah, it was
all radio students, different classes.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Okay, and we said anybody since us on social media
knocks it out, would love to have you on. And
you were one of you were one of only four
people that did it. That's right. There was so good.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It was like, what fifteen of us that.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Came everyone should have done it or something like, I know,
you know was crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I was.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
I was debating whether or not I should actually do
it because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, well, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
I was, be honest. It was a little intimidated. There
was some other people, like a ton of followers on Instagram, so.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Yeah, and then you know I had people just like
just do it, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
So are you a junior senior? I just graduated? You
did make graduations? Oh that's really cool and cal Lutheran.
I didn't know this. If somebody asked me what it
costs to go to cal Lutheran for a year, I
would have said thirty thirty five. I would not have
said sixty eight, right.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
I had no idea actually that it went up that much.
I think when I was starting it was maybe in
the forties.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Okay or something like that. It's a private school, so yes,
good education, yeah, absolutely, and a great uh you know,
a sort of networking with the lum and you know
they're out there. Yeah, that's right, I'm here all right. Also,
you're involved with Studio six forty with our own Steve Gregory. Yeah,
you did one of the shows today.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Yes, I just finished was my seventh showing it and
it's been it's been awesome.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
You know.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
It was kind of unexpected when that opportunity popped up,
and for a while, you know, initially I wanted to
try and explore like the music radio, That's what I
would do at the school. I have a podcast in
a radio show, so initially I was going in that
direction and then this opportunity popped up. But it works
out because you know, I've always been super involved in
the news and politics and what's going on. So that's
all what we talked about.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
What is studio six forty for people who have not listened.
Speaker 8 (09:30):
Yet, Yeah, so Studio six forty is you know, I
heard this new show and it's really surrounded around student journalists.
So most of the panelists are still enrolled in school.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I think I'm the only one.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
That's like totally done with school for the topics today.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So today we did.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
It was our first it was all female panel because
there's only three women out of like the.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Eleven ish of sorry, come on, man, alright, So what
was the top were the topics?
Speaker 8 (09:59):
So yeah, we just we had talked all about like
women's issues on and off campus, so from you know,
campus safety to equality, you know, sisterhood stuff, and reproductive
rights was a big one.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So I think I got it right with the yawn?
Did I get that right?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Then? That? No?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So rude, all right? So all right, now you graduated,
you went there for four years?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Did you live on campus?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I was a commuter. Okay, do most people commute?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I have like half and half like it was.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
It was definitely a big commuter school. Is there a
dorm there are there.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Yeah, no, no Greek life.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But I was just it was cool.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I was talking in the show.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
One of the other girls was also from my school,
and we ran a women's magazine and that was kind
of like the closest thing we had to.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Assault going on here.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
So well, yes, of course, yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Saying, you know, women's issues, a women's magazine. Where do
I finish?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Tim?
Speaker 8 (10:54):
So that was that was like the closest thing that
I think our school had to A sorority is very much,
you know, like a community sisterhood could build that.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So that's and what do you want to do now
that you're out of school?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
Oh my gosh, I mean I'd love to work here,
I do, you know, I think because I do my
own podcast in the radio show, and I'd love to
be eventually like down the line, you know, on your
personality talkshow host.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Or something like that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, this is a cool place to work. Yeah, and
we do hire women. I know that. God almighty, have
you turned around. There's another one of you walking around
the halls.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It's the best.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We make it better though that that the jury's out
A lot of that yeah, maybe, but that but that's uh,
you know, where'd you go to high school?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Calbass Is High?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, stayed in the area, that's why you commuted, Yes, yeah, yeah,
But I'm always interested in people that lived on campus
there because I've never seen a dormitory there or apartments
or anything.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Okay, Yeah, I mean they're you know, they're decent. They
have different ones, like for underclassmen. The ones for upperclassmen
are a bit nicer. And then they do have I
had a lot of friends, like a couple of years
into college they had moved into They do have these
kind of you know, like little smaller houses is kind
of like a bigger dorm and it's on the street
like behind the campus, so that's also affiliated with the school.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Are most of the kids into politics? They follow what's
going on.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Oh my gosh. I mean I don't think how much
I didn't know. Yeah, I think, you know, I think
it is more now, and we talk a lot about
that on the show and just kind of you know,
different issues that are really important for gen Z. I
think a lot more people my age are more invested,
I think, especially what's going on now, there's a lot
more at stake for us, sure, and so I think
(12:37):
you know, I'm like, I don't know some of my
friends here and there, but I think.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You know what I've noticed with and again Nico's with us,
and her last name is Sapphire, a middle name for
people who are interested in that. But I noticed that
that there's a younger generation like between I don't know,
like eighteen to twenty five. And you would think all
of them would be big Harris fans and big Democrats
(13:02):
and stuff like that, but man, there is a pretty
sizable group between eighteen and twenty five who are in
on the Trump vote and Trump deal. Is that going
on in at Luther and cal Luthorn?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Oh? I mean, I think it's everywhere. I think you
can find it ever, you know. I think especially a
lot of women. And I heard somebody say, like, I
think a lot of younger women, you know, are getting
more progressive. I do think a lot of younger men
are getting more conservative. And it's an interesting tread happening,
you know, because yeah, I mean a lot of that's
what's at stake, is a lot of women's issues and
(13:34):
women's freedom and women's rights, you know, And so I think, uh.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And guys are trying to keep them down yeah, boys,
that happens. You don't seem like you're with us in no. Look,
we have an executive producer as a woman. We have
the traffic here as a woman. My boss is a woman.
And I Krozier loves women. I love them, manman and
(14:00):
step step is a big woman hound. He loves women. Yeah,
he's not wrong, he's not wrong. That's right. That's right.
Stud that guy's a stud. That's what that Superman shure
it is today. It's that s is for stud on
that guy. That guy is a stud. All right. So
so the the area six forty or Studio sixty that's
(14:24):
on Sundays.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll air this Sunday two pm.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
All right, that's right. But I would say, look, I
don't I never give it. I'd like to give advice
to anybody because I don't think that you know, I
don't think my advice is worth much. But I will
say this, I'll give you one piece of advice I
give to all kids. Yes, that that enthusiasm, enthusiasm, enthusiasm,
no matter what you do. The people around here that
(14:52):
I am most are not attracted to. But I feel
like I have the most energy and the most saying.
The most fun to be around are people who are enthusiastic.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, it really goes a long long way. And I
and the people around here who are the most enthusiastic,
they are also like the magnets of all the energy
around here as well. So keep keep enthusiasm, keep it going.
Everybody loves the upbeat, like like like Bellio used to
be really upbeat, and everybody used to still seems pretty
(15:26):
upat ah, but she used to be really upbeat. But
angel is as well. And and I'm who bag Crozer.
Who would you say are our upbeat people around here?
Tim Kats I would I would say Tim Shannon for sure.
I would say also Aaron and Ben Mosch, Yes right,
and and a lot of the girls always a good,
(15:48):
good source of energy. Michelle Cube is another one who's
always upbeat. But yeah, it really be you know they
I would say enthusiasm and and it goes a long
long way. You can hide a lot of your imperfections
behind enthusiasts. I'm sorry, yeah about but thanks for coming in.
How do people get on social media?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Yes, so you can find me at Nico dot sapphire
on Instagram and go check out my link tree because
that's where all my shows are. My podcast, Sapphire Sessions,
a radio show Nico and Anthony Live, and you can
also get updates on the podcast on Sapphire Sessions Podcast,
also on Instagram, and of course check me out on
Studio six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Excellent. I appreciate you coming in. I'm kind of luck.
I hope, I hope you. I hope they make millions
of dollars and have a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I hope.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So that's the goal.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
All right, thanks for coming in, Tim, all right, there
she goes Nico Sapphire one of the the last kid,
I believe right from we had we had invited all
the kids in from count Luthor and we said, anybody
who puts us up on social media would love to
have you back. Four out of the twenty did it odd?
And then this is the last of the four, so
our obligation is done. How about that?
Speaker 7 (16:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
All right from Channel eleven. Kt TV also hosts his
own show at ten thirty every Friday night, called The
Issue Is Elex Michaelson.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
How you bub dig jog with you along.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
With you, buddy. I'm doing excellent, man, I'm doing excellent.
I got a quick question for you. I've been wondering this.
I've asked it about many journalists and I get a
lot of different answers. Are you ready?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Okay? This never is good, but I'm excited. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Here we go. How do you balance between exposing corrupt
politicians and getting locked out of access because you're too
tough on them.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
That's a good and tough question. Ultimately, you know, we
work for the viewers, sure, the voters, and that's our boss,
and so we have to serve them. And you have
to be straightforward and hope that viewers will reward that
(18:08):
by watching.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
But don't you run the risk of any locked out
like by a Nancy Pelosi if you keep asking your
questions that irritate her or perhaps you know, Governor Newsom
or Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I think my approach has always been in the tone
of asking the question can make a big difference, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I also I've noticed about you, and I think you
do this pretty well. I'll give you an a plus.
Whenever you're going to insult a politician, you don't say
I think you're corrupt, you say people say, or people
email me, or people do other people say this? What
do you think?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
How do you write? You take yourself out of it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Point to critic you quote other people making the allegation.
What do you say to people who say this to you?
That's right? But ultimately, like it's not my role to
debate the politician. It's my role to try to let
their opinions be known and then people make up their
own mind. So I'm not really trying to be a
go between. I'm not trying to make the story about me.
(19:12):
I'm trying to make the story about them, and then
people can take it for what they want. But it's tough.
I mean, some of it is being is being very
straightforward with people of saying, look, I know this is
a tough question, but you know here's the answer, or
this is being said about you. And for a lot
of these people also if you ask it in the
(19:32):
right way, they're appreciative of the ability to clarify what
they see is misinformation about them as well.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
When you take pictures with your mom and dad, do
you constantly have to ask them to take off their
Trump gear? Their maga hats.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
How did you know?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Words out there? Words out there? Hey, let me ask
you a question about one of your colleagues who passed
away today. I thought that Warren Wilson was one the
last real, true great guys, an original voice here in
Los Angeles. I was sad to see him pass away.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, sort of a throwback to a different era of
TV news, somebody who did it right, an era when
so many people were watching every day and going out
there and getting the facts and telling stories. Well, and
that's a loss for our entire journalism community and sort
of a reminder to those of us still doing it
(20:30):
about the way that it should be done. There's lessons
that we can learn about the way that he and
other folks who came before us did it the right way.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I mean, he had a lot of exclusives. He goes
back to Charlie Manson.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Isn't that wild? I mean, you think about some of
the murderers row that they had on that Hal Fishman
show of reporters. You know, we're there for so many decades.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I you know, for people out there who are Trump fans,
if Trump loses, let me give you a a scenario
where I think you're gonna be a little a little
happy er than you were last time, especially if you
live in southern California, because if you live in southern
California and Trump loses, Southern California is gonna have the
(21:13):
President of the United States who lives in southern California,
and both very powerful California senators will both be living
in southern California. This is gonna be a great time,
you know, if all that happens. Money wise, I think
there's gonna be a lot of money rolling into southern
California if we have two huge senators and the president
(21:34):
all living here in Southern California.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
A lot of federal funds coming in and a lot
of money paid out in taxes.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's right. But maybe they but maybe they can straighten
this area out. Maybe they can reduce the crime and
help people with rent and help people, you know, get by.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
You know. Of course, the Trump fans would say they
didn't exactly do that when they were the local efficients here, so.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I understand those But now we've got you've got to
make sure that they help us out here. What do
you make about UCLA here losing their field? There is
a lot of mixed emotion, and UCLA put out a
statement yesterday that says, you know, they don't agree with
the judge. They think it's outrageous. And then at the
end of that statement they said, oh yeah, and we
(22:18):
also support the troops.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Right. I think I first covered that story like thirteen
years ago when I was at ABC seven. And the
effort to do this, I mean, they've been trying to
do this for a long time. And if you really
look at the old you know, when this land was
given over, it was given over for the troops, right,
it wasn't given over to be a baseball fielder's or
(22:43):
you know, there's the Brentwood School is there too, and
you think about that, we really don't have a place
to put all of these homeless veterans. And there's this
massive property right there where you could put people that
was literally designed for that, and then they lock it
shut and none of these people go there. You know.
I feel for UCLA, I do, and I hope that
(23:04):
they get a great deal of those students deserve to
be protected and all of that, But man, there's more
that can be done for the troops. And I understand
the ruling. I mean if you just read it, that
seems like that's what the law is.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I don't know when this country is going to stop
crapping on the military. I don't know. I don't know, buddy.
What's on the big show tonight on the issue is.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, we're focused on this big congressional race out of
Orange County Dot Bob versus Dave Men. A lot of
folks on both sides say this could be the seat
that determines control of the House. It's to replace Katie
Porter in the House. Both Scott baw and Dave Men
both coming in to the studio, so you get to
hear their views and hear like what they are both
(23:49):
stand for and make up your own mind on that.
And then I also was up in Sacramento this week
doing this big panel for pPIC, So we're with a
lot of the top reporters in the state analyzing what's
going on. Knwsome with this gas tech, talking about what
you just talked about, Kamala Harrison, with the money that
could be coming into California if she wins, by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You have heard in the way, Okay, all right, please
you have your ear to the pavement. Politically, what is
Katie Porter doing now. I like that woman.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, she's still in Congress until January, but she's going
to be a returning to being a law professor at UCI.
She's been living for years at the basically faculty housing
there at UCI while she's been on a sabbatical since
she did Congress back in twenty eighteen. So she's going
(24:40):
to go back to that job. And then she told
me that she's open to the idea of running for
something in the future. Didn't say exactly what that would be.
Who knows. Maybe she'll run for governor, we don't know.
But in the meantime, I think she's going to take
a breath and go back to what she was doing before.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I don't know a lot about politicians personally, but she
seems to be a really authentic person and a great mom.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, I mean, and her kids really love her a lot,
and she's always been very kind to me.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
That's right, buddy, I really appreciate you coming on. I
go USC Who are you guys playing this week?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
We are playing Wisconsin. Oh, that's right, And tomorrow at
twelve thirty, are you going? I'm not. I wish I was,
but I'll be going soon. Have you gone to any
when's the last time you went to a USC.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Again, I know, maybe twenty years ago, maybe twenty five
years ago. Not a fan.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So they've been good and bad in that time, and
you've been gone for all of them.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Look, they were getting by on playing really weak teams
in the West. Then they joined the Big Ten, and
they both have been exposed for not being that great.
That's what that's my analysis.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Good live, pretty good luck this week. I mean, they
barely lost Michigan defending.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Chap that's true. That's true. I'll give me.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I wouldn't say that they were.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
All right, buddy, thanks for coming on. Say hi to
your mom and dad.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Let's just do college football next week.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I'd be more than happy to do that, more than
willing to do that, all right, see you.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
About it, all right?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Elex Michaelson, dig dong with that guy? He says he
gets more people asking about him on this show than
all of his other projects combined. Of course he does.
That's cool. That's a good guy, Alex Michaelson, All right,
think doing with that guy.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Hey.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
This weekend, if you've got nothing going on, well maybe
if you do even have something going on and you
want to see some pretty good comedy, you know Crozier,
our own Heather Brooker is going to be at the
ice House.
Speaker 9 (26:52):
Yeah, she was telling me about it the other day.
I was like, oh, I'm going to try to find
some time to get over there at six thirty on
Saturday tomorrow. You may remember her from weekends. She does
anchors during the week when she's filling in.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
But she's great. She's very funny. She's gonna be at

great venue too. I think they recently like revamped it.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh, she's in the Legendary Room. That's huge. It's a
big deal. So Bellio is threatening to get out there.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Oh yeah, very funny.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, she's great, So get on out there. There's a
two item minimum. You know how they can't say too
drink minimum. I noticed that, Yeah, because people plowing into
other people driving home. So it's a two item so
you can get like if you get wings and a water. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. But it's the ice House is great. The
(27:46):
ice House a lot of famous people have played the
ice House. Oh yeah, it's really a cool deal. So
buzz on out there. It's in Pasadena. You're going to
enjoy it. And there you go the ice House. Heather Brooker. Yeah,
she's great, man, she is terrific. And then don't forget
our Halloween giveaway with Disneyland, the Disneyland Resort, California Adventure,
(28:09):
the whole run. We're giving away a four pack of
one day, one park tickets to the Disneyland Resort right
after six thirty, right after that break. So somebody's gonna
win that. It might be you, yeah, well not you
or you no, but it could be somebody, could be
somebody listening. It's going to be somebody probably listening right now.
(28:30):
And they have no idea. They're sitting in their car
right now. They're sort of bummed, you know that. You know,
they're they're busted out, and you know they're in traffic
and they got nothing going on in their life. Oh
in a picture, wow, And they have no idea that
they're going to have these tickets, especially Halloween time, Christmas time. Man, Yeah,
(28:53):
that is the time to go to Disneyland. That's exactly right,
all right, Pet insurance, Belly, Do you have head insurance?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I did, but then it didn't cover anything I needed
it to cover.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh, really dropped it? Oh okay, well what did it run?
Speaker 8 (29:07):
You?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Thirty forty bucks a month?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
About that?
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Who is Angel with us?
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Time?
Speaker 6 (29:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (29:12):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Is she on the show? Still? Yes she is?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Okay, she'll be back on Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Rich Savor?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, Rich, what's happening?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Not much?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Just looking at traffic all right, he is on it. Yeah,
I loves traffic right there.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Do you have pet fridge? I do have a small dog.
Do you have insurance? I don't have insurance for exactly
the same reason. Doesn't cover anything that I needed to cover.
It's that weird. What does it cover? Like if a guy,
you know, I, lost a wheel, they'll give you a cart.
You lost a leg, I'll give you a cart to
buzz it around it, Bellio, What didn't it cover? Teeth cleaning?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I think teeth cleaning was one of them, like a
deep cleaning where they put him under.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Ah, that's the very expensive, super expensive. We spent twelve hundred.
I didn't know this. We just took been for teeth cleaning,
and they got a bill for twelve hundred dollars. This
is a twelve hundred dollars. These dogs cost two fifty
for both of them.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
And twelve hundred. But if they pulled teeth the worst?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
All right, pet insurance? What's going on with Newsom signs
of bill requiring pet insurance? Pet insurers, I should say,
to provide more transparency because people bought the insurance and
they didn't cover anything.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills to help perform pet
insurance and better protect pet owners. According to supporters, SB
twelve seventeen strengthens consumer protections and requires more transparency from
pet insurers about coverage or premium changes based on the
age or geographic location of the pet. Meantime, SB twelve
thirty three authorizes a California Veterinary Medical school to develop
(30:51):
a high quality, high volume spay and neuter certification program
and the goal of this is to expand access to
low or no cost spay and neuter service.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I wonder if pets can get life insurance. Can you
buy a life insurance policy on your pet? Probably not,
because that that'll lead to uh man, I need some money.
M Well, yeah, especially like if if there is something
wrong with them. You don't want to you don't wanna
put the bill to fix them. Yeah, and then you go, oh, I.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
Can get I can actually make money if I don't
fix my PA.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's right. But even the SBC ASPCA, they're pushing the
the you know, the pet insurance. You can go to
the website and click on it and get a quote
for you know, you put in the age of your pet,
the condition of your pet, and then you get a
quote there. Yeah, don't see.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
It doesn't sound like the bills that that Newsom signed
are going to do anything about the actual cost of
the insurance or what it covers. It's just about they
have to let you know with enough warning before you
get the insurance what it actually covers.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
They have to be more clear about it. And you know,
I'm with Bellio on that. We looked up for insurance
for our pat and I saw the list of things
that they covered. I'm like, oh, we never do that.
I mean, you know, it does seem like it does
need some reform. You know, you never buy health insurance
(32:12):
for yourself and then it doesn't cover anything like checkups
or if you get sick.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
I guess theoretically it could affect the cost of the
pet insurance if by being more transparent, people are far
more or less likely to actually purchase it, and the
insurance company has got well, nobody's buying it anymore. Let's
actually kind of adjust it to make it a little
bit more accessible.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, but they should do that. They should reform it
because everybody I know has the exact same reason why
they don't buy it, because it doesn't cover what they need.
Everybody I know and a lot more people would buy
it if you charged a little more and covered the
things that we'd like to see our dogs.
Speaker 9 (32:50):
Because because most people who've had to actually deal with
it or think about having to use the insurance if
something happens to their pet, they they having to sit
there and think about.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
To pain of the.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Fork, down the money, let the pet go. I'm with you,
all right. We're live on KFI AM 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 KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the Conway Show. Dig dong. It is Friday. That's a
cool deal. Everybody enjoys their Friday. Can get out, enjoy
yourself and you can start your buzz early. You know,
(00:21):
I get all crazy on Friday night. Friday night used
to be the coolest night, you know, when you're a kid,
because school lets out and that weekend starts and Friday afternoon,
Friday evening, man, you got the whole world in front
of you. You know, you can sleep in on a
Saturday and then you got another Saturday night to enjoy yourself.
The worst hour in my life, or at least in
(00:45):
the work where you can and week was Sunday at
four o'clock. Sunday at four o'clock because I knew that,
you know, dinner was about to happen, and my mom
was about to get us into you know, school mode,
so we'd have to get ready for school. Football was
over at four o'clock. When I was growing up, football
(01:07):
ended at four pm on a Sunday. It was over.
There was no late night game. The one o'clock games
ended around four o'clock, and as soon as that last
football game was over, you got into school mode and
it was horrible. But now Friday is awesome. Man, Friday
is great. We got a big show, we got a
(01:27):
lot going on. We're going to talk about that lithium battery,
those stupid things that blew up belly. I believe we
have a giveaway tonight, right, we sure do for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, Disneyland or California Adventure tickets.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Ah, this is great. When do you want to do it?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I was thinking in the six o'clock out.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay, let's say right after that six thirty break. I
love it. Well, we come back after the six twenty
seven break, which we always are pretty late. We'll do that. Yeah,
we are always late with the breaks. That's the one
thing management's been banging on me since I started here.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, no need to pylon.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, they have brought that up. I mean they've talked
to me about it.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I'm I can't control the love, the information, hate the attitude,
so you know what I mean. Yeah, but it's hard
to take, you know, to break on time. It's difficult.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Because it disrupts the flow of the show, you know,
in the middle of you know, doing something and giving
out information and all of a sudden, bang, it's over.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I think the art of a good tease.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Continue it in the next segment.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
By the way, what station are you listening to? I
know it's not KFI. You listened to another radio station? Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,
Bell it was one foot out the door here. All right,
let's get into the stupid lithium batteries and the cleanup
in the San Pedro Long Beach area. This is affecting
a lot of commerce, a lot of trucks in that area,
(02:57):
and all of them listening to KFI, all of them.
If you're a truck driver, you're a KFI fan. I
know that to be true, and I'll tell you how.
I know that. We were working here one night. I
used to work seven to ten pm, and then it
was six to ten pm. But I remember leaving here
one night and talking about oh, we were talking two
(03:18):
truckers and about truckers and long haulers and stuff like that.
And I went over to Vaughn's Belly, you know where
the Vons is on Pass Avenue.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, that was my Vonn's.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, So I went over there to grab something I
and I couldn't find it there, so I went over
to Smart and Final and I then I went into
Save on Drugs or what is it called now CVS, Yes, CVS,
and I come out of CVS I and I wasn't looking.
(03:48):
I looked the other way, and I was just I
don't know what happened. I wasn't looking, And I walked
into the parking lot and a truck slammed its brakes
on eighteen wheeler, fully packed, fully loaded eighteen wheelers slams
its break and misses me by about three or four feet.
And I said to the guy, said, oh, man, I'm sorry,
that's my fault. And he goes, oh no, he goes,
I'm glad I didn't he Are you want kfine? I said,
(04:11):
oh yeah, he goes, Oh my god, he goes. Ten
minutes ago, I was listening to you talk to truck drivers,
and I said, yeah, it's not odd. Wouldn't that have
been ironic if twenty minutes ago I was talking about
truck drivers and then twenty minutes later you ran over
me with one of these trucks. But man, I tell you, belly,
a lot of people listening to KFI, and imagine a
lot of the truck drivers down who have been caught
(04:31):
up in this lithium battery nightmare. They listened to KFI.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
A lot of.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Activity going on around that rig right now. We do
have a much better view from Air seven right now,
if we could take that now. This truck has not
shown any significant flames or smoke for a while now,
So fire crews then.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Move it on.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Let's go throw it in the ocean. Let's move on.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Have moved in with a crane and forkliffs. They're going
to try to transfer the rig not to a flatbed
and move it into a nearby empty lot. But fire
officials say there are no time guarantees here that if
this movement stirs up those lithium batteries and sparks and
other fire there's a good chance they're gonna lay that
container back down and wait. But at least we are
(05:11):
seeing some progress toward reopening this highway.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
We are already twenty seven hours into this LA shut
out and overturned semi carrying six industrial sized lithium batteries,
forcing the closure of us not.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Fully charged thirty to sixty percent charge.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Are these batteries forcing the closure of a stretch of
Seaside Avenue, a key roadway for the Port of Los Angeles.
The Vincent Thomas Bridge unscathed but closed. The hazardous payload
now showing hardly any signs of fire, but the fire
department is still moving slowly.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh, we gotta move faster, gotta move faster. It's commerce.
That's why our freeways are all banged up. You know,
if you go to Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona where they
have a lot of heat, a lot of snow, and
the you know, the conditions, the weather conditions are should
chew up these roads. They're beautiful roads in Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington.
(06:05):
They're beautiful. I have a theory on why our roads
are so messed up. It's because we have about seventy
five percent of all of the all of the supplies
that come into this country come through sam Pedro and
Long Beach, and these trucks they weigh tons and tons
and tons and they drive over our freeways and they
(06:26):
chew them up. That's where we get all these potholes
and these freeways that are all banged up.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
The reason for that is so that we do not
create more problems another bigger hazardous materials spill or reignite
a new thermal runaway on one of the batteries.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Lithium batteries can post like I just got them off.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He's like, yeah, we got it, we got it.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
We got to reignize a new thermal runaway on one
of the batteries.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Lithium batteries can pose serious fire danger, says This drone
video of direct shows Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And exploded when that drone guy was hovering over. That's wild.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
When damaged, they can be explosive. Their fires can spread
quickly and they release toxic fumes. In this case, for
your officials choosing to shut down the road, stay back
and let it burn out, or at least burn down
enough where it can be safe enough to move.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, there it goes, so I don't know. Hopefully the
next couple hours they moved that off to a parking lot.
We can open that up again. But it's been a long,
really tough run for truckers in that area, and really
really tough tough week.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
All right, Nico Sapphire, is that I pronounce your last night? Yes, sir,
ding'd wlong with you and Nico, you are with col Lutheran.
You go to stool Cal Luthern, yeah, Calu and a
lot of the kids came in from I don't know
what class, radio, Oh right, right, that's yeah.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
When we came in for the tour. Yeah, it was
all radio students, different classes.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Okay, and we said anybody since us on social media
knocks it out, would love to have you on. And
you were one of you were one of only four
people that did it. That's right. There was so good.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
It was like, what fifteen of us that.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
Came everyone should have done it or something like, I know,
you know was crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I was.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
I was debating whether or not I should actually do
it because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, well, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
I was, be honest. It was a little intimidated. There
was some other people, like a ton of followers on Instagram, so.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Yeah, and then you know I had people just like
just do it, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
So are you a junior senior? I just graduated? You
did make graduations? Oh that's really cool and cal Lutheran.
I didn't know this. If somebody asked me what it
costs to go to cal Lutheran for a year, I
would have said thirty thirty five. I would not have
said sixty eight, right.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
I had no idea actually that it went up that much.
I think when I was starting it was maybe in
the forties.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Okay or something like that. It's a private school, so yes,
good education, yeah, absolutely, and a great uh you know,
a sort of networking with the lum and you know
they're out there. Yeah, that's right, I'm here all right. Also,
you're involved with Studio six forty with our own Steve Gregory. Yeah,
you did one of the shows today.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Yes, I just finished was my seventh showing it and
it's been it's been awesome.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
You know.
Speaker 8 (09:08):
It was kind of unexpected when that opportunity popped up,
and for a while, you know, initially I wanted to
try and explore like the music radio, That's what I
would do at the school. I have a podcast in
a radio show, so initially I was going in that
direction and then this opportunity popped up. But it works
out because you know, I've always been super involved in
the news and politics and what's going on. So that's
all what we talked about.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
What is studio six forty for people who have not listened.
Speaker 8 (09:30):
Yet, Yeah, so Studio six forty is you know, I
heard this new show and it's really surrounded around student journalists.
So most of the panelists are still enrolled in school.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I think I'm the only one.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
That's like totally done with school for the topics today.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So today we did.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
It was our first it was all female panel because
there's only three women out of like the.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Eleven ish of sorry, come on, man, alright, So what
was the top were the topics?
Speaker 8 (09:59):
So yeah, we just we had talked all about like
women's issues on and off campus, so from you know,
campus safety to equality, you know, sisterhood stuff, and reproductive
rights was a big one.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So I think I got it right with the yawn?
Did I get that right?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Then? That? No?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
All right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So rude, all right? So all right, now you graduated,
you went there for four years?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Did you live on campus?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I was a commuter. Okay, do most people commute?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I have like half and half like it was.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
It was definitely a big commuter school. Is there a
dorm there are there.
Speaker 8 (10:31):
Yeah, no, no Greek life.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But I was just it was cool.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I was talking in the show.
Speaker 8 (10:37):
One of the other girls was also from my school,
and we ran a women's magazine and that was kind
of like the closest thing we had to.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Assault going on here.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
So well, yes, of course, yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Saying, you know, women's issues, a women's magazine. Where do
I finish?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Tim?
Speaker 8 (10:54):
So that was that was like the closest thing that
I think our school had to A sorority is very much,
you know, like a community sisterhood could build that.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So that's and what do you want to do now
that you're out of school?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
Oh my gosh, I mean I'd love to work here,
I do, you know, I think because I do my
own podcast in the radio show, and I'd love to
be eventually like down the line, you know, on your
personality talkshow host.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Or something like that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, this is a cool place to work. Yeah, and
we do hire women. I know that. God almighty, have
you turned around. There's another one of you walking around
the halls.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It's the best.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We make it better though that that the jury's out
A lot of that yeah, maybe, but that but that's uh,
you know, where'd you go to high school?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Calbass Is High?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, stayed in the area, that's why you commuted, Yes, yeah, yeah,
But I'm always interested in people that lived on campus
there because I've never seen a dormitory there or apartments
or anything.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Okay, Yeah, I mean they're you know, they're decent. They
have different ones, like for underclassmen. The ones for upperclassmen
are a bit nicer. And then they do have I
had a lot of friends, like a couple of years
into college they had moved into They do have these
kind of you know, like little smaller houses is kind
of like a bigger dorm and it's on the street
like behind the campus, so that's also affiliated with the school.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Are most of the kids into politics? They follow what's
going on.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Oh my gosh. I mean I don't think how much
I didn't know. Yeah, I think, you know, I think
it is more now, and we talk a lot about
that on the show and just kind of you know,
different issues that are really important for gen Z. I
think a lot more people my age are more invested,
I think, especially what's going on now, there's a lot
more at stake for us, sure, and so I think
(12:37):
you know, I'm like, I don't know some of my
friends here and there, but I think.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
You know what I've noticed with and again Nico's with us,
and her last name is Sapphire, a middle name for
people who are interested in that. But I noticed that
that there's a younger generation like between I don't know,
like eighteen to twenty five. And you would think all
of them would be big Harris fans and big Democrats
(13:02):
and stuff like that, but man, there is a pretty
sizable group between eighteen and twenty five who are in
on the Trump vote and Trump deal. Is that going
on in at Luther and cal Luthorn?
Speaker 8 (13:13):
Oh? I mean, I think it's everywhere. I think you
can find it ever, you know. I think especially a
lot of women. And I heard somebody say, like, I
think a lot of younger women, you know, are getting
more progressive. I do think a lot of younger men
are getting more conservative. And it's an interesting tread happening,
you know, because yeah, I mean a lot of that's
what's at stake, is a lot of women's issues and
(13:34):
women's freedom and women's rights, you know, And so I think, uh.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And guys are trying to keep them down yeah, boys,
that happens. You don't seem like you're with us in no. Look,
we have an executive producer as a woman. We have
the traffic here as a woman. My boss is a woman.
And I Krozier loves women. I love them, manman and
(14:00):
step step is a big woman hound. He loves women. Yeah,
he's not wrong, he's not wrong. That's right. That's right.
Stud that guy's a stud. That's what that Superman shure
it is today. It's that s is for stud on
that guy. That guy is a stud. All right. So
so the the area six forty or Studio sixty that's
(14:24):
on Sundays.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that'll air this Sunday two pm.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
All right, that's right. But I would say, look, I
don't I never give it. I'd like to give advice
to anybody because I don't think that you know, I
don't think my advice is worth much. But I will
say this, I'll give you one piece of advice I
give to all kids. Yes, that that enthusiasm, enthusiasm, enthusiasm,
no matter what you do. The people around here that
(14:52):
I am most are not attracted to. But I feel
like I have the most energy and the most saying.
The most fun to be around are people who are enthusiastic.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, it really goes a long long way. And I
and the people around here who are the most enthusiastic,
they are also like the magnets of all the energy
around here as well. So keep keep enthusiasm, keep it going.
Everybody loves the upbeat, like like like Bellio used to
be really upbeat, and everybody used to still seems pretty
(15:26):
upat ah, but she used to be really upbeat. But
angel is as well. And and I'm who bag Crozer.
Who would you say are our upbeat people around here?
Tim Kats I would I would say Tim Shannon for sure.
I would say also Aaron and Ben Mosch, Yes right,
and and a lot of the girls always a good,
(15:48):
good source of energy. Michelle Cube is another one who's
always upbeat. But yeah, it really be you know they
I would say enthusiasm and and it goes a long
long way. You can hide a lot of your imperfections
behind enthusiasts. I'm sorry, yeah about but thanks for coming in.
How do people get on social media?
Speaker 8 (16:09):
Yes, so you can find me at Nico dot sapphire

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Excellent. I appreciate you coming in. I'm kind of luck.
I hope, I hope you. I hope they make millions
of dollars and have a lot of fun.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I hope.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So that's the goal.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
All right, thanks for coming in, Tim, all right, there
she goes Nico Sapphire one of the the last kid,
I believe right from we had we had invited all
the kids in from count Luthor and we said, anybody
who puts us up on social media would love to
have you back. Four out of the twenty did it odd?
And then this is the last of the four, so
our obligation is done. How about that?
Speaker 7 (16:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
All right from Channel eleven. Kt TV also hosts his
own show at ten thirty every Friday night, called The
Issue Is Elex Michaelson.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
How you bub dig jog with you along.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
With you, buddy. I'm doing excellent, man, I'm doing excellent.
I got a quick question for you. I've been wondering this.
I've asked it about many journalists and I get a
lot of different answers. Are you ready?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Okay? This never is good, but I'm excited. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Here we go. How do you balance between exposing corrupt
politicians and getting locked out of access because you're too
tough on them.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
That's a good and tough question. Ultimately, you know, we
work for the viewers, sure, the voters, and that's our boss,
and so we have to serve them. And you have
to be straightforward and hope that viewers will reward that
(18:08):
by watching.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
But don't you run the risk of any locked out
like by a Nancy Pelosi if you keep asking your
questions that irritate her or perhaps you know, Governor Newsom
or Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I think my approach has always been in the tone
of asking the question can make a big difference, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I also I've noticed about you, and I think you
do this pretty well. I'll give you an a plus.
Whenever you're going to insult a politician, you don't say
I think you're corrupt, you say people say, or people
email me, or people do other people say this? What
do you think?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
How do you write? You take yourself out of it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Point to critic you quote other people making the allegation.
What do you say to people who say this to you?
That's right? But ultimately, like it's not my role to
debate the politician. It's my role to try to let
their opinions be known and then people make up their
own mind. So I'm not really trying to be a
go between. I'm not trying to make the story about me.
(19:12):
I'm trying to make the story about them, and then
people can take it for what they want. But it's tough.
I mean, some of it is being is being very
straightforward with people of saying, look, I know this is
a tough question, but you know here's the answer, or
this is being said about you. And for a lot
of these people also if you ask it in the
(19:32):
right way, they're appreciative of the ability to clarify what
they see is misinformation about them as well.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
When you take pictures with your mom and dad, do
you constantly have to ask them to take off their
Trump gear? Their maga hats.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
How did you know?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Words out there? Words out there? Hey, let me ask
you a question about one of your colleagues who passed
away today. I thought that Warren Wilson was one the
last real, true great guys, an original voice here in
Los Angeles. I was sad to see him pass away.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, sort of a throwback to a different era of
TV news, somebody who did it right, an era when
so many people were watching every day and going out
there and getting the facts and telling stories. Well, and
that's a loss for our entire journalism community and sort
of a reminder to those of us still doing it
(20:30):
about the way that it should be done. There's lessons
that we can learn about the way that he and
other folks who came before us did it the right way.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I mean, he had a lot of exclusives. He goes
back to Charlie Manson.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Isn't that wild? I mean, you think about some of
the murderers row that they had on that Hal Fishman
show of reporters. You know, we're there for so many decades.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I you know, for people out there who are Trump fans,
if Trump loses, let me give you a a scenario
where I think you're gonna be a little a little
happy er than you were last time, especially if you
live in southern California, because if you live in southern
California and Trump loses, Southern California is gonna have the
(21:13):
President of the United States who lives in southern California,
and both very powerful California senators will both be living
in southern California. This is gonna be a great time,
you know, if all that happens. Money wise, I think
there's gonna be a lot of money rolling into southern
California if we have two huge senators and the president
(21:34):
all living here in Southern California.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
A lot of federal funds coming in and a lot
of money paid out in taxes.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's right. But maybe they but maybe they can straighten
this area out. Maybe they can reduce the crime and
help people with rent and help people, you know, get by.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
You know. Of course, the Trump fans would say they
didn't exactly do that when they were the local efficients here, so.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I understand those But now we've got you've got to
make sure that they help us out here. What do
you make about UCLA here losing their field? There is
a lot of mixed emotion, and UCLA put out a
statement yesterday that says, you know, they don't agree with
the judge. They think it's outrageous. And then at the
end of that statement they said, oh yeah, and we
(22:18):
also support the troops.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Right. I think I first covered that story like thirteen
years ago when I was at ABC seven. And the
effort to do this, I mean, they've been trying to
do this for a long time. And if you really
look at the old you know, when this land was
given over, it was given over for the troops, right,
it wasn't given over to be a baseball fielder's or
(22:43):
you know, there's the Brentwood School is there too, and
you think about that, we really don't have a place
to put all of these homeless veterans. And there's this
massive property right there where you could put people that
was literally designed for that, and then they lock it
shut and none of these people go there. You know.
I feel for UCLA, I do, and I hope that
(23:04):
they get a great deal of those students deserve to
be protected and all of that, But man, there's more
that can be done for the troops. And I understand
the ruling. I mean if you just read it, that
seems like that's what the law is.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I don't know when this country is going to stop
crapping on the military. I don't know. I don't know, buddy.
What's on the big show tonight on the issue is.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah, we're focused on this big congressional race out of
Orange County Dot Bob versus Dave Men. A lot of
folks on both sides say this could be the seat
that determines control of the House. It's to replace Katie
Porter in the House. Both Scott baw and Dave Men
both coming in to the studio, so you get to
hear their views and hear like what they are both
(23:49):
stand for and make up your own mind on that.
And then I also was up in Sacramento this week
doing this big panel for pPIC, So we're with a
lot of the top reporters in the state analyzing what's
going on. Knwsome with this gas tech, talking about what
you just talked about, Kamala Harrison, with the money that
could be coming into California if she wins, by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You have heard in the way, Okay, all right, please
you have your ear to the pavement. Politically, what is
Katie Porter doing now. I like that woman.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Well, she's still in Congress until January, but she's going
to be a returning to being a law professor at UCI.
She's been living for years at the basically faculty housing
there at UCI while she's been on a sabbatical since
she did Congress back in twenty eighteen. So she's going
(24:40):
to go back to that job. And then she told
me that she's open to the idea of running for
something in the future. Didn't say exactly what that would be.
Who knows. Maybe she'll run for governor, we don't know.
But in the meantime, I think she's going to take
a breath and go back to what she was doing before.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I don't know a lot about politicians personally, but she
seems to be a really authentic person and a great mom.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah, I mean, and her kids really love her a lot,
and she's always been very kind to me.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
That's right, buddy, I really appreciate you coming on. I
go USC Who are you guys playing this week?
Speaker 4 (25:19):
We are playing Wisconsin. Oh, that's right, And tomorrow at
twelve thirty, are you going? I'm not. I wish I was,
but I'll be going soon. Have you gone to any
when's the last time you went to a USC.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Again, I know, maybe twenty years ago, maybe twenty five
years ago. Not a fan.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
So they've been good and bad in that time, and
you've been gone for all of them.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Look, they were getting by on playing really weak teams
in the West. Then they joined the Big Ten, and
they both have been exposed for not being that great.
That's what that's my analysis.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Good live, pretty good luck this week. I mean, they
barely lost Michigan defending.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Chap that's true. That's true. I'll give me.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
I wouldn't say that they were.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
All right, buddy, thanks for coming on. Say hi to
your mom and dad.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Let's just do college football next week.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I'd be more than happy to do that, more than
willing to do that, all right, see you.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
About it, all right?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Elex Michaelson, dig dong with that guy? He says he
gets more people asking about him on this show than
all of his other projects combined. Of course he does.
That's cool. That's a good guy, Alex Michaelson, All right,
think doing with that guy.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Hey.

somebody listening. It's going to be somebody probably listening right now.
(28:30):
And they have no idea. They're sitting in their car
right now. They're sort of bummed, you know that. You know,
they're they're busted out, and you know they're in traffic
and they got nothing going on in their life. Oh
in a picture, wow, And they have no idea that
they're going to have these tickets, especially Halloween time, Christmas time. Man, Yeah,
(28:53):
that is the time to go to Disneyland. That's exactly right,
all right, Pet insurance, Belly, Do you have head insurance?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I did, but then it didn't cover anything I needed
it to cover.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh, really dropped it? Oh okay, well what did it run?
Speaker 8 (29:07):
You?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Thirty forty bucks a month?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:09):

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Who is Angel with us?

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Rich Savor?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, Rich, what's happening?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Not much?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Just looking at traffic all right, he is on it. Yeah,
I loves traffic right there.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Do you have pet fridge? I do have a small dog.
Do you have insurance? I don't have insurance for exactly
the same reason. Doesn't cover anything that I needed to cover.
It's that weird. What does it cover? Like if a guy,
you know, I, lost a wheel, they'll give you a cart.
You lost a leg, I'll give you a cart to
buzz it around it, Bellio, What didn't it cover? Teeth cleaning?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I think teeth cleaning was one of them, like a
deep cleaning where they put him under.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Ah, that's the very expensive, super expensive. We spent twelve hundred.
I didn't know this. We just took been for teeth cleaning,
and they got a bill for twelve hundred dollars. This
is a twelve hundred dollars. These dogs cost two fifty
for both of them.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
And twelve hundred. But if they pulled teeth the worst?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
All right, pet insurance? What's going on with Newsom signs
of bill requiring pet insurance? Pet insurers, I should say,
to provide more transparency because people bought the insurance and
they didn't cover anything.
Speaker 10 (30:29):
Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills to help perform pet
insurance and better protect pet owners. According to supporters, SB
twelve seventeen strengthens consumer protections and requires more transparency from
pet insurers about coverage or premium changes based on the
age or geographic location of the pet. Meantime, SB twelve
thirty three authorizes a California Veterinary Medical school to develop
(30:51):
a high quality, high volume spay and neuter certification program
and the goal of this is to expand access to
low or no cost spay and neuter service.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I wonder if pets can get life insurance. Can you
buy a life insurance policy on your pet? Probably not,
because that that'll lead to uh man, I need some money.
M Well, yeah, especially like if if there is something
wrong with them. You don't want to you don't wanna
put the bill to fix them. Yeah, and then you go, oh, I.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
Can get I can actually make money if I don't
fix my PA.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's right. But even the SBC ASPCA, they're pushing the
the you know, the pet insurance. You can go to
the website and click on it and get a quote
for you know, you put in the age of your pet,
the condition of your pet, and then you get a
quote there. Yeah, don't see.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
It doesn't sound like the bills that that Newsom signed
are going to do anything about the actual cost of
the insurance or what it covers. It's just about they
have to let you know with enough warning before you
get the insurance what it actually covers.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
They have to be more clear about it. And you know,
I'm with Bellio on that. We looked up for insurance
for our pat and I saw the list of things
that they covered. I'm like, oh, we never do that.
I mean, you know, it does seem like it does
need some reform. You know, you never buy health insurance
(32:12):
for yourself and then it doesn't cover anything like checkups
or if you get sick.
Speaker 9 (32:17):
I guess theoretically it could affect the cost of the
pet insurance if by being more transparent, people are far
more or less likely to actually purchase it, and the
insurance company has got well, nobody's buying it anymore. Let's
actually kind of adjust it to make it a little
bit more accessible.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, but they should do that. They should reform it
because everybody I know has the exact same reason why
they don't buy it, because it doesn't cover what they need.
Everybody I know and a lot more people would buy
it if you charged a little more and covered the
things that we'd like to see our dogs.
Speaker 9 (32:50):
Because because most people who've had to actually deal with
it or think about having to use the insurance if
something happens to their pet, they they having to sit
there and think about.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
To pain of the.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Fork, down the money, let the pet go. I'm with you,
all right. We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can
