got two in the studio, hedoes. It's my lucky day. There
was some kind of meeting at theoffice tonight. Yeah, Timmy, are
you there? You know I missedit? Oh you did? Oh?
I was telling Mark Thompson this,and I shouldn't say it on the air
because I've been getting away with itsince two thousand when I started here.
(01:00):
Twenty ten, okay, so fourteenyears and you got to keep this quiet.
Okay, Okay, fourteen years andI haven't used my company email yet.
Wow, Ganta, So how manyemails do you think? I don't
know. I gotta look at it. I gotta look at it. But
I didn't use the Clear Channel email. Oh wow? When did that change?
(01:23):
Croach? The Clear Channel to iHeart? Was it five years ago?
It's eight years ago? Oh no, no, it was god at least
fifteen years No, no, ohya, you might be right, because
it was it was iHeart when Istarted here. I think I think it
was at least, No, itwasn't. I think it was. It
was Clear Channel when you started.I don't know. I think part of
it was Clear Channel. Think Ithink the outdoor was Clear Channel. Maybe
(01:45):
it was ten years ago, twentyfourteen, Okay, ten years ago,
you're right? Ten years ago?All right? So I didn't use the
Clear Channel. I still love emailsfrom Clear Channel. I gotta look at
those. Those are vintage, thosewere probably those were probably from people who
aren't even in the company anymore.But it was a meeting on how to
do live reads, you know,how to how to do live endorsements,
and I honestly got I would havebeen there in the front seat because I
(02:07):
love live endorsements. I just didn'tknow about it. I didn't know about
it. Come on, but everythingthey described the told us how we should
do it was exactly how you doit. Now? Is that right?
The king of live there, Iwould have been there for sure. Come
on, you're the Heisman Trophy winnerof library. I told John Colebelt,
(02:29):
I said, hey, John,were you at that meeting today? And
he looked at me and he andhe goes, Buddy, he goes,
I invented the livey. We workwith nothing but people there. Okay,
you were there at that meeting today, right, put this mic on?
Don't you learn something about it?You can't come on when it's four o'clock.
You can come on now, right, Dodger talk or whatever you got
(02:50):
it? It's this one over there. I've got to run back. All
right, buddy, you were atthat meeting today. What you learn anything?
Use your own name? Hey,it's Petros. But you started.
You're the best at it. Youstarted, sweet James. Well the dens
be there's a short memory in thistown that right now true? But they
did. Joe Piscopal, I thinkyou do the best live reads in radio.
(03:13):
Thank you, I really do.I appreciate you. I think you're
great too. You put me onthe line of all the police are coming
out, okay either I'm like aguy with like a worn out It's like,
you know, it takes off hisanklet when I come on here.
That's great. Petros has been tolda hundred times not to come on the
(03:34):
show. While he's on the air, I'm five seventy am, and every
time he watch by the hallway,I grab my go hey, buddy,
come on, He goes, buddy, I can't. I haven't told one
hundred times not to come on.And then when the door's open, he
can't resist. It's like crack cocaine. You know. He sees that doing
lines or bumps or injections or whateveryou do, crack cocaine, smoking it,
and he can't stop. Man,he's got to come in. So
(03:57):
I told John Colebell, I said, hey, you go to the meeting
today. He said, nah,I I didn't. At eleven o'clock.
I'm prepping for the show. Iunderstand him. And and then he said,
you understand it theoretically, you don'tunderstand. I understand some people doing
it. Yes, exactly, okay. But then he he said, and
I'll probably get in trouble for this, but he said, you know,
(04:20):
he invented live reach and I andI think there's a lot of that.
There's a lot of credit for that, Johnny Kenshaw. I agree with that.
And then he says, can youimagine, you know, you're a
uh, you're manager of the AtlantaBraves and you say, hey, we
got a home run coach coming intoday. Hank, you're gonna be there,
(04:44):
Hank Aaron you go, We're gonnahave a home run coach coming in.
You're gonna slide in tonight. Yeah, your point's taken, you guys,
No, no, no, I'mnot talking about me. I'm talking
about John Coledelt. Yeah, Iget it. John colelt is the best.
And and I still can't believe I'mworking at the same radio station it
was that guy. I really can't. Every every time I come in here,
I think Dick Clark's going to bearound the corner going, oh,
(05:05):
it's a practical joke, you know, the way he used to do it.
Yeah, that was a long timeago. Yeah, I didn't know.
I didn't know. Was that along time ago? I thought so
Is that an old reference? Ithink it's you know, I gotta update
that reference. So yeah, timeto what is another reference for a guy
that does practical joke TV show?I mean, is there one? Punk?
Is probably punked? Okay, closerto this even but yeah's all right?
(05:28):
Or yeah, punked would be good. But you know, another term
I got update is when I saysomebody was sweating. I always say,
man, that guy was sweating likeJames Worthy in the fourth quarter, because
he was sweated a lot. He'slike dripping off his chin. But I
gotta update that too, sure,Like I don't know, like Caitlin Clark
in the fourth quarter, you know, maybe not, but she makes it
(05:49):
look you know, the girls don'tsweat that much. It also makes it
look effortless, you know. Yeah, you know what. I know,
we got a lot of news tocover here, but I'm gonna tell I'm
gonna this is for the WNBA.This is my opinion, and it's right,
but it's fine, of course it'smine. Ladies. We don't care
if Vegas or New York or LAor Memphis wins the WNBA. Don't double
(06:18):
team Caitlin Clark. Let her tossup these threes and let's get rolling.
Sure she can take the WFBA toa new level. And they're double teaming
her and shutting her down. Andguess what after this season if the Fever
go one in eighteen? Goodnight,Well, the Fever are not the best
(06:40):
team, but good night. Yourpoints well taken. Gotta let her shoot.
Let her become the phenom that's right, and that'll bring people into the
game, and it will add tothe popularity of the league. Like that
other guy who came on the scenethat couldn't play basketball, they let him
take over. What was his name, Magic Johnson. But listen, they
all have pride of ownership, right, Oh he was good. And all
(07:01):
I'm saying is in response to that, Tim, is that I don't think
you can get them their professional athletes. But look, ultimately it's entertainment.
Yeah, they're not gonna are theentertainers or athletes. They're not going to
turn it into the Washington Generals.You remember the team that played Okay,
let me ask you something. WhyWhy not? Because I think there's a
presumption that everybody's playing out as hardas they can. If you knew that
(07:25):
Caitlin Clark's going to come in anddump sixty on the sparks? Wouldn't you
be there to look at that?I'm with you, but I guess if
you would play it the other way, if you knew that they're rolling over,
it doesn't mattered to me. Iwrite Sports Illustrated breaks the story that
every team has been told just tolet letter No, no, you don't
let it out. Well, youstop doing it. It's gonna get I
see you just stopped doing it.You know the Generals, by the way,
(07:46):
who play the Globetrotters. I thinkthey've won like fifteen times. Oh
really, yeah, the Generals arenot undefeated. I heard was it you
who told me that there was somekind of defeated it. There's some kind
of a wager between them. Oh, I didn't know that. Somebody to
there's a wager that they make offof the why petros? You know this
are the Generals. Have the Generalsever beat the Globetrotters? I think they
(08:09):
have, haven't they like fourteen fifteentimes? It's the same button got a
mighty man. You you don't haveyou Sorry, you need to go to
that meeting again. The meeting shouldbe how to turn buttons. You're right,
he can't figure it out. Hecalled me back, just what I
thought it was out? Why did? Why does kids run your life?
Frankly? Yeah? I depend onhim for so much. Okay, all
(08:33):
right? You talk to him everyday, right? Yeah? You call
him the way home, yes,and on the way to work. Is
that right? When I wake upon my way to yoga. I need
somebody to keep you in line.But yeah, I think they beat him
a couple of times. Oh theyhave how lot of white guys on the
generals but not so much on theTrotters. But if you own the generals,
wouldn't you get a great NBA coachloaded up with great college players that
(08:54):
didn't make the NBA and just smokethem. Pretty sure that's not how it
worked. Now, it's all letme basketball question. If you're the head
of the d NBA, wouldn't youlet Caitlin Clark throw up sixty every night?
Tim thinks that should just dump itto get it take Lookark, don't
guard her very well. Let herlet her put sixty up, and then
she puts more butts in the seats. I think I think that people might
(09:18):
start to figure out that it wasstage cares that's well, no, then
that would get attention. Yeah thatwho cares? But look at they're not
selling out now the globetrotters sell out. Let it become the women globe trotter.
Who's really popular, even more popularthan the Globetrotters. Like the seats
are crazy. It's like the baseballglobe Trotters. The new thing that the
kids, like, my kids areso into it. All the kids are
(09:41):
into It's called the Savannah Bananas.Oh, my friends said, that's the
whole thing. And then they doall kinds of dances and they play baseball
on stilts and that that's the wholething. And I don't think the Washington
generals ever beat them either. Myfriend Jack, my friend Robbie Fox's son
Jack Fox, played for the Banana. Yeah, that's the thing, the
Savannah Banana. That's like the Globetrottersof baseball. That's very popular. We
got take a break here, buddy, great kick me out. I love
(10:01):
that shirt. That looks like aVictoria's Secret. It looks like a Beverly
Hills Hotel. Thank you. Well, you know I had to go to
a seminar today to learn to bea better radio personality, so I thought
I'd dress up to find myself moreopportunity. Maybe the best part was I
went to the seminar so the boss. Would you know, they asked us
to go, and the boss didthe whole seminar. And then after the
seminar he saw me and Matt standingthere and he goes, oh, you
(10:22):
guys just come to get the food. You don't come to the seminars,
Like, damn it, I wasthere, not even to give me were
loud credit for one hour. You'relistening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty. Mark Thompson'shere, And was it yesterday with Sam's
(10:43):
funeral? Yeah, that's horrible.Sam Rubin who passed away, one of
the great guys I've ever met mylife, and he passed away suddenly.
He was young too, holdly?Was he sixty four? Nexty four?
Brutal? I hate to say.I don't want to say that's young,
because I think that's insulting when yousay somebody, oh, that's young,
(11:03):
What with the subtext that is,oh, you didn't take care of yourself.
No, I think it's not thatit is. I think I think
it's what you're saying is based onthe average lifespan of people that is too
young to die. I know,but unless it's an accident or like,
if somebody died of an accident,you don't say, oh, you know,
(11:24):
you know, then you could sayhe went too early in an accident.
But when somebody dies of a heartattack, you never know what took
him out, You never know whathis health was like. And well,
there are all kinds of things thatare idiosyncratic to everybody in terms of these
that were I don't like to sayit about people because I think it's insulting.
(11:45):
All Right, well, we're gonnawe're gonna describe that. I'm I
guess it's like that on the stagesof grief or whatever. One of the
things is I'm angry that he's gone. Okay, but it's gotten too young.
Let me let me add something elsehere. For a guy who was
waking up at three o'clock every morningto do his job, he lived a
long life. That is brutal.Those are brutal hours that I look at.
(12:07):
I mean, I think you're rightin the other thing about I mean,
I think you're right in the sensethat that took its toll. But
I also think, honestly two things. A he pushed way beyond that.
He had, you know, allkinds of other He was always traveling and
supporting. And you know, hisson was this really active and scouting and
they they climbed and the Pyrenees andall of a sudden he's a bike rider.
(12:28):
Yeah, but he's really and sohe really was active in addition to
that schedule. But the other thingI would say is, hey, you
know, if that really were true, Bryant Gumbell, Tom bro Call,
all those people who hosted Morning TVwould be dead. They're not. I
mean, so I don't think thatthat's the thing. I mean, I
don't know what it was, Tim, But I don't know what it is
either. I just don't say aboutit. So his funeral was yesterday.
(12:50):
Yeah. Where was it? Itwas out at in Semi Valley. Yeah,
yeah, in Semi Valley. Yeah, that's cool. And a lot
of people show up for that.Was it a private? It was?
It was private, but it's verywell attended by his friends. And you
know, I was torn up aboutSo it's really tough. Not bad.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's SamRus I was. I was glad to
(13:13):
have known that guy. I don'tremember. I don't remember in my lifetime
anybody in local TV dying who gotwho knew that many people that I that
I that I personally knew or knewof, and who had that kind of
effect on people. I don't knowanybody. And everybody liked him, Yeah,
I mean it really was remarkable,and he extended himself for so many
(13:37):
It came on this show a lot, he did. He was great.
You know, we always loved havinghim on. Yeah, you know,
he was terrific. I missed that. He stepped up for a lot of
people. And you know the thingis you hear about that in the way
he's eulogized, and then you hearall the things he did for people,
I mean just that have nothing todo with the industry, just you know,
really extending himself, right, Andnot enough was talked about out about
(14:01):
his radio career, but he wasa great radio talk shows. He was
He was on kles X with youyeah a while. He came on right
after Howard Stern. Yeah, andsometimes he'd be on for two hours.
Sometimes he'd be on for thirty seconds. I filled in for him once and
it was hilarious. I literally didtwenty minutes, I think. Yeah,
some days he would do a minute. Come on, hey, Sam Rubin.
Howard went long, here's the regularguy. Yeah, exactly, that
(14:22):
was it. That was a wrapand he wouldn't know until, you know,
like ten thirty eleven o'clock in themorning, how long it really was
going to go. He was,and he was all over the world,
you know. He would do entertainmentreports in Australia and it was great.
Didn't he have you sit in forhim once? Yeah? In London.
Yeah, he was supposed to doa London thing. He said, Mark,
well you do this thing on BradPitt and Angela and Joel. That's
(14:45):
right, that's what that was whatI was. And didn't you tell him
you have no underway? I said, I entertainment, He said, Mark,
it doesn't matter. And I say, here's our man in Hollywood,
and then all of a sudden you'rethe guy. And that's exactly what they
did. BBC one, Let's goto Hollywood, California. I'm up.
The show business industry has to bebeside himself with this word about Angelina,
(15:05):
Jolee and Brent Pritt. Well,that's right, and often they released this
news on a Friday when the mediawon't give it as much attention. So
I just went off, that's great. He was right. He was right,
he said, Mark, read upon it and do it and you'll
be fine. Did you know thosetwo were married before they called? I
really did not know the territory.Well, yeah, I could care less.
(15:26):
I'm with you. I'm with you, buddy, I'm with you.
That's that's sad, though, I'dlike you out and see the grave site.
Though. I really loved that.What a wonderful guy. Wonderful guy,
Sam ruben Man, I missed that, dude. You're listening to Tim
Conway Junior on demand from KFI Amsixty I got yesterday. We played a
(15:48):
commercial for drunk driving where it saysbuzz driving is drunk driving, and there's
a guy. There's a woman whosays, hey, it starts with my
boyfriend up there he is with thewoo woo, right, that's how you
know he's and then he's like,oh, speech time, Okay, now
he's oh, now he's really buzzed. And at the end he's like he
goes, I know I'm too drunkto drive home, and he gets a
(16:10):
ride home, So I said atsix forty, I said, hey,
we should play that spot. It'sthe Ad Council. They do a great
job, and that's a relatable spotinstead of, you know, a group
of teenagers wiping out doing a cartwheelon the one oh one where everybody gets
thrown out of the car and everyonedies. Nobody relates to that until that's
you. Then you relate to itin a radical way, right, But
(16:33):
that commercial is relatable to a lotof people, and so I think it
works. So I said, hey, when we come back from the commercial,
we'll play it. And then wecome back from commercial and we're looking
for it, looking for it,looking for it, and then we finally
found it and played it. Andthen my wife says, you know,
when you said you're going to comeback and play the commercial, and then
you look for it and looked forit. It played during that commercial break,
(16:55):
but you and Steff Usher are toobusy looking for that is perfect?
Truly perfect, isn't that? Didyou know that stuff is? I didn't
realize that I was looking at Howgreat is that? Diligently they played while
we were looking for it. Ididn't realize that it is not wild?
Both of us, like two idiotslooking for it. It's in the background.
You could hear it. That's great. So I wonder if anyone else
picked that up. Maybe I don'tknow, right, I don't know.
(17:18):
Now you listen, possibly, butyeah, if you heard the podcast,
then you wouldn't have caught it.That's right. So you're still you're still
servicing the podcast audience. That's whatI'm doing the best, you know.
I like the podcast. All right, Spirit Airlines, you fly Spirit,
you got money? You probably don't, right, I do not. Yeah,
I mean I haven't yet. II wouldn't. I mean, that's
uh, you know, it's it'sI tried to book a ticket once and
(17:41):
then I did find all the additionalfees everything annoying. So I just decaid,
I'll just pay more and whatever.I flew to Detroit on Spirit and
it was it was a cheap ticket, and after once I got on board,
I realized why it was so inexpensive. I got on a burbank and
we tax seed to Phoenix and thentook off. Isn't that wild? Yeah?
(18:03):
That'll definitely yeah crazy discount the ticket, that's right. All right,
let's find out what's going on withSpirit Airlines evidently, you know, anytime
they're in the news, it's alwaysinteresting. Never know what's going on with
Spirit. A lot of people likeSpirit Airlines. Spirit Airlines, oh my
favorite. Yeah. I love theirbig blue seats. And I'm not kidding.
Yeah, they do have the bigblue seats. They used to call
it a big cushion seats. I'vegot nothing against Tom. Maybe I should
(18:26):
jump back on. Yeah, Iget on it. Let me hear what
the stretch right first, the latestlow cross carrier to eliminate thies for changing
or canceling your flights immediately. That'sall right. The carrier used to charge
between seventy and one hundred and twentydollars to change or cancel tickets. Spirits
announcement comes just days after Frontier Airlinesalso ended change and cancelation fees. The
Biden administration recently issued new rules forcingairlines to be upfront about add on fees
(18:51):
and ordering automatic cash refunds for canceledflights. There you go. So if
you've got a Spirit Airlines ticket,so you can cancel, move around a
little like Southwestern, so you cango everywhere you know. You can cancel
with Southwest almost any time you want. It's great. If you have a
kid going to college. Southwest isyour good friend because they always changed.
Oh sure, it was just lastminute, two buzzs to get on the
flight two hungover whatever there is.There's a guy for last two years,
(19:15):
interesting chap in Pasadena and he's lightingfireworks off or like m eighties for two
years. I saw that and theybusted him though. Yeah, and nobody
could find this guy for two years. When ca back, I'll tell you
they found this idiot. Yeah,how you found how? Yeah found he
was he was nailed. It wasinteresting, nailed himself. But how about
that a hole, you know,keeping people up for two years and he's
(19:36):
just like a sixty three year old. Yes, he's horrible, worst guy
in the wad, the hobby guy. And everyone's like, oh, he's
such a nice guy, nice guy, he's nut. I agree. You're
listening to Tim conwaytun you're on Demyofrom KFI AM six forty. It's Conway
Show. Mark Thompson's here and uhand we're gonna get to the story here.
(19:59):
The guy in Pasadena, he's beenkeeping everybody up for two years,
two years, exploding crap shutting upThese look like, yeah, little explosions,
all that crap. Two years andthey can't figure couldn't figure out who's
doing this. More than one hundredand fifty random explosions terrorizing a Pasadena neighborhood
for nearly two years, fourteen ofthem in just the last two weeks.
(20:23):
The latest Thursday morning. All ofa sudden, we here a boom,
and normally, you know, we'rekind of used to it because we're in
a corner, cars crashing. Butthen I see a plume of smoke right
in the corner. The explosive reignof terror coming to an end in front
of Burrito Express when police arrested sixtythree year old Aren't burying red handed just
(20:45):
moments after the I think they needanother name of that restaurant, and of
terror coming to an end in frontof Burrito Express with Burrito Express. Yeah,
that's tough. Burrito Express. Ithink Burrito's, you know, without
being said, or Express Burrito Express. When police arrested sixty three year old
Artburian read sixty three guy's blown upfireworks? Can you do that when you're
(21:10):
fourteen? Exactly thirteen? I'm sorry, buy a brick of fireworks? From
your dumb buddy, mister Buryon,he's arrested sixty three year old Art Burian
Art Burian, art Burian, redhanded. Just moments after the blast,
detectives brought about collecting evidence in relationto this case. Actually, and during
that time they hear an explosion,and so when they turn to look,
(21:33):
they see a white cloud. Hewas doing it so often that he didn't
bother to look around to see there'sa cop standing next to him. Yeah,
when he's doing it a little tooconfident, and through that white cloud
comes the suspects car. So theystopped the car's isn't that crazy because they
knew the car exactly right. Butwhat he said when he got arrested,
he said, they said, hey, are you responsible for the one hundred
(21:53):
and fifty explosions? He said,no, I've only litten off. I've
lit off three of these things.The other one hundred and forty seven came
out of Burrito Express and through thatwhite cloud comes you get it. No,
No, I don't. I don'tcare it Burrito Express. The other
explosion, I forget it. Idon't mean why I show up the suspect's
(22:14):
car. So they stop the carand it's him. They identify him and
arrest him. It was a shockingbecause it's just a longtime customer and he's
a nice guy, comes in,chats with me, my wife, you
know, it's just and then blowsthe place up on the way out.
Yeah, then drops an m adin the toilet, you know, their
family. So it's kind of shocking. You know, it's gonna you know,
not understanding what's going on most ofthe explosions. When he's gonna have
to find a new burrito joint whenhe gets out of the slammer because they're
(22:40):
not going to want him back there. Now. I would think that he's
gonna need to find a lot ofnew stuff. Yeah, new new set
of friends too. Yeah, maybea bishop or you know Zizi somewhere away
out of the desert, that highdesert. Yeah, which you're a little
uh satchel of explosives. This isa raindew picnic for the high Day.
(23:00):
This is nothing ported, but PasadenaFires arson investigator began tracking the blast caught
on the city shot spotter system,narrowing in on the area around Allen Avenue
and Washington Boulevard. Surveillance video helpingto identify barrion. Investigators say he would
throw the explosives from his car.Sources say other times he would use a
slingshot. The motive remains a mystery. Isn't that wild? What's the motive
(23:22):
for doing that scaring the hell outof people? I don't know what took
Pasadena two years to figure this out. That's odd, I mean, because
it's just that he throws it andkeeps driving. I don't think it's priority.
Two years a long time. Onehundred and fifty explosions, Yeah,
come on, right, fear youneed to hear it from enough residence.
You got to get on that.I look. I also the residents.
(23:47):
They should have been more on ittoo. If that happened around where I
live for two years, I wouldbe on it myself. Some I would
be out higher guys sit in acar is look around, ask for people,
and then just start Know the firsttime you see a guy throwing MD
out, just slice him in halfwith a chainsaw. Oh wow, you
have a real plan. Would youtake? What shift would you want for
(24:08):
the surveillance? Maybe after work forabout an hour, maybe seven d eight
seven day. Maybe the fear didnot I actually heard the bombs themselves.
I lived right down the street.We had neighbors who were terrified. They
would wake up in the middle ofthe night. We didn't know if it
was a fire or an explosion.Yeah, it's horrible to do to old
people too, living past the nextbrutally, I mean's terrrible. It's inexcusable.
(24:30):
There is no explanation. And theyought to hit him harder. Yeah,
put him in jail. Put himin jail for the you know,
the two years that he was exploding, give another forty. Put him in
for forty two years. Wow.Most of them were eights. But I
also heard there were homemade sticks oftype of dynamite that would have done more
damage if he were able to usethose. It's a miracle that no one
(24:52):
got Yeah, it's a miracle,and that no one got hurt. You
know, if a kid was ridinga skateboard bind he didn't see this kid
and he threw out a stick ofdynamite, I think could have been wiped
out. Sure, what's going onwith a lot of people in this world?
You know, it's it's wild outthere, it really is. You
got all the violence going on.There was another stabbing on the bus today.
I saw that there were three peoplethat got stabbed in Santa Monica.
Do you know every single night there'snine hundred to one thousand people living on
(25:17):
the streets of Santa Monica. That'sprobably down for when it used to be.
Remember Santa Monica they call the People'sRepublic of Santa Monica. Yeah,
it's wild and they look if youwant tourists. Two of them were German
tourists. Those Germans are going togo home and tell the story of what
Santa Monica is like and then guesswhat, Europeans aren't coming anymore. It
definitely hurts tourism, you got it. Yeah, you got to take care
(25:38):
of this, and I don't knowhow you do it, but you gotta.
You know, I don't throw thehomeless the crazy homeless. You know,
there's two couple types of homeless.There's the real, wild, crazy
homeless and then there's you know,guys just down on his luck. But
the wild, crazy homeless. Ithink it's they're overdue. They're overdue.
You think that they're past their expirationdate for sure? Yeah, yeah,
(26:00):
yeah, we got to get themhelp and we got to get them off
the streets. They're stabbing innocent people. There was a girl having ice cream
in Santa Monica and she was stabbedby a guy, homeless guy. Why
would you go to Santa Monica anymore? You know, until they get the
hold of that, I wouldn't.Yeah, I mean this public safety is
a serious concern, dude. Youhave to in a community feel safe.
(26:22):
That's right, that's right. Yougot and you're not to say in Santa
Monica, I used to be beautiful. We used to go to there all
the time, to Third Street Promenadeand walk around at night, you know,
almost like every weekend, you know, like one of those stupid things
we'd do. And now, ifmy daughter wanted to go to Santa Monica
and just walk around Third Street forthe night, I wouldn't let her go.
I'd take her keys. I sayno, you're not going, not
(26:44):
going at all. So I'd say, wow, you're tough. Yeah,
I'd say no, you're not going, and then I'd raise my voice,
you're not going at all, yeah, just to punctuate the moment. That's
right. Sometime, how do youthink that would work out? It's her
car and it's under her name,so legally she could call the cops and
demand I give her the keys bank. Oh wow, So I don't know.
Maybe that's would be that'd be atough Christmas. Yeah, but I'd
(27:07):
respect it, you know. That'swhy I put it under her name,
so it's hers and she could dowhat it wants. She wants. She
wants to sell it, sell it, you want him, But signing my
name, it's sign my wife.You're a good dad, Tim, I
really do. You never know.We'll see we'll see it, But you
can't go to Santa Monica. Show'snot over yet. It's Conway and Thompson

got two in the studio, hedoes. It's my lucky day. There
was some kind of meeting at theoffice tonight. Yeah, Timmy, are
you there? You know I missedit? Oh you did? Oh?
I was telling Mark Thompson this,and I shouldn't say it on the air
because I've been getting away with itsince two thousand when I started here.
(01:00):
Twenty ten, okay, so fourteenyears and you got to keep this quiet.
Okay, Okay, fourteen years andI haven't used my company email yet.
Wow, Ganta, So how manyemails do you think? I don't
know. I gotta look at it. I gotta look at it. But
I didn't use the Clear Channel email. Oh wow? When did that change?
(01:23):
Croach? The Clear Channel to iHeart? Was it five years ago?
It's eight years ago? Oh no, no, it was god at least
fifteen years No, no, ohya, you might be right, because
it was it was iHeart when Istarted here. I think I think it
was at least, No, itwasn't. I think it was. It
was Clear Channel when you started.I don't know. I think part of
it was Clear Channel. Think Ithink the outdoor was Clear Channel. Maybe
(01:45):
it was ten years ago, twentyfourteen, Okay, ten years ago,
you're right? Ten years ago?All right? So I didn't use the
Clear Channel. I still love emailsfrom Clear Channel. I gotta look at
those. Those are vintage, thosewere probably those were probably from people who
aren't even in the company anymore.But it was a meeting on how to
do live reads, you know,how to how to do live endorsements,
and I honestly got I would havebeen there in the front seat because I
(02:07):
love live endorsements. I just didn'tknow about it. I didn't know about
it. Come on, but everythingthey described the told us how we should
do it was exactly how you doit. Now? Is that right?
The king of live there, Iwould have been there for sure. Come
on, you're the Heisman Trophy winnerof library. I told John Colebelt,
(02:29):
I said, hey, John,were you at that meeting today? And
he looked at me and he andhe goes, Buddy, he goes,
I invented the livey. We workwith nothing but people there. Okay,
you were there at that meeting today, right, put this mic on?
Don't you learn something about it?You can't come on when it's four o'clock.
You can come on now, right, Dodger talk or whatever you got
(02:50):
it? It's this one over there. I've got to run back. All
right, buddy, you were atthat meeting today. What you learn anything?
Use your own name? Hey,it's Petros. But you started.
You're the best at it. Youstarted, sweet James. Well the dens
be there's a short memory in thistown that right now true? But they
did. Joe Piscopal, I thinkyou do the best live reads in radio.
(03:13):
Thank you, I really do.I appreciate you. I think you're
great too. You put me onthe line of all the police are coming
out, okay either I'm like aguy with like a worn out It's like,
you know, it takes off hisanklet when I come on here.
That's great. Petros has been tolda hundred times not to come on the
(03:34):
show. While he's on the air, I'm five seventy am, and every
time he watch by the hallway,I grab my go hey, buddy,
come on, He goes, buddy, I can't. I haven't told one
hundred times not to come on.And then when the door's open, he
can't resist. It's like crack cocaine. You know. He sees that doing
lines or bumps or injections or whateveryou do, crack cocaine, smoking it,
and he can't stop. Man,he's got to come in. So
(03:57):
I told John Colebell, I said, hey, you go to the meeting
today. He said, nah,I I didn't. At eleven o'clock.
I'm prepping for the show. Iunderstand him. And and then he said,
you understand it theoretically, you don'tunderstand. I understand some people doing
it. Yes, exactly, okay. But then he he said, and
I'll probably get in trouble for this, but he said, you know,
(04:20):
he invented live reach and I andI think there's a lot of that.
There's a lot of credit for that, Johnny Kenshaw. I agree with that.
And then he says, can youimagine, you know, you're a
uh, you're manager of the AtlantaBraves and you say, hey, we
got a home run coach coming intoday. Hank, you're gonna be there,
(04:44):
Hank Aaron you go, We're gonnahave a home run coach coming in.
You're gonna slide in tonight. Yeah, your point's taken, you guys,
No, no, no, I'mnot talking about me. I'm talking
about John Coledelt. Yeah, Iget it. John colelt is the best.
And and I still can't believe I'mworking at the same radio station it
was that guy. I really can't. Every every time I come in here,
I think Dick Clark's going to bearound the corner going, oh,
(05:05):
it's a practical joke, you know, the way he used to do it.
Yeah, that was a long timeago. Yeah, I didn't know.
I didn't know. Was that along time ago? I thought so
Is that an old reference? Ithink it's you know, I gotta update
that reference. So yeah, timeto what is another reference for a guy
that does practical joke TV show?I mean, is there one? Punk?
Is probably punked? Okay, closerto this even but yeah's all right?
(05:28):
Or yeah, punked would be good. But you know, another term
I got update is when I saysomebody was sweating. I always say,
man, that guy was sweating likeJames Worthy in the fourth quarter, because
he was sweated a lot. He'slike dripping off his chin. But I
gotta update that too, sure,Like I don't know, like Caitlin Clark
in the fourth quarter, you know, maybe not, but she makes it
(05:49):
look you know, the girls don'tsweat that much. It also makes it
look effortless, you know. Yeah, you know what. I know,
we got a lot of news tocover here, but I'm gonna tell I'm
gonna this is for the WNBA.This is my opinion, and it's right,
but it's fine, of course it'smine. Ladies. We don't care
if Vegas or New York or LAor Memphis wins the WNBA. Don't double
(06:18):
team Caitlin Clark. Let her tossup these threes and let's get rolling.
Sure she can take the WFBA toa new level. And they're double teaming
her and shutting her down. Andguess what after this season if the Fever
go one in eighteen? Goodnight,Well, the Fever are not the best
(06:40):
team, but good night. Yourpoints well taken. Gotta let her shoot.
Let her become the phenom that's right, and that'll bring people into the
game, and it will add tothe popularity of the league. Like that
other guy who came on the scenethat couldn't play basketball, they let him
take over. What was his name, Magic Johnson. But listen, they
all have pride of ownership, right, Oh he was good. And all
(07:01):
I'm saying is in response to that, Tim, is that I don't think
you can get them their professional athletes. But look, ultimately it's entertainment.
Yeah, they're not gonna are theentertainers or athletes. They're not going to
turn it into the Washington Generals.You remember the team that played Okay,
let me ask you something. WhyWhy not? Because I think there's a
presumption that everybody's playing out as hardas they can. If you knew that
(07:25):
Caitlin Clark's going to come in anddump sixty on the sparks? Wouldn't you
be there to look at that?I'm with you, but I guess if
you would play it the other way, if you knew that they're rolling over,
it doesn't mattered to me. Iwrite Sports Illustrated breaks the story that
every team has been told just tolet letter No, no, you don't
let it out. Well, youstop doing it. It's gonna get I
see you just stopped doing it.You know the Generals, by the way,
(07:46):
who play the Globetrotters. I thinkthey've won like fifteen times. Oh
really, yeah, the Generals arenot undefeated. I heard was it you
who told me that there was somekind of defeated it. There's some kind
of a wager between them. Oh, I didn't know that. Somebody to
there's a wager that they make offof the why petros? You know this
are the Generals. Have the Generalsever beat the Globetrotters? I think they
(08:09):
have, haven't they like fourteen fifteentimes? It's the same button got a
mighty man. You you don't haveyou Sorry, you need to go to
that meeting again. The meeting shouldbe how to turn buttons. You're right,
he can't figure it out. Hecalled me back, just what I
thought it was out? Why did? Why does kids run your life?
Frankly? Yeah? I depend onhim for so much. Okay, all
(08:33):
right? You talk to him everyday, right? Yeah? You call
him the way home, yes,and on the way to work. Is
that right? When I wake upon my way to yoga. I need
somebody to keep you in line.But yeah, I think they beat him
a couple of times. Oh theyhave how lot of white guys on the
generals but not so much on theTrotters. But if you own the generals,
wouldn't you get a great NBA coachloaded up with great college players that
(08:54):
didn't make the NBA and just smokethem. Pretty sure that's not how it
worked. Now, it's all letme basketball question. If you're the head
of the d NBA, wouldn't youlet Caitlin Clark throw up sixty every night?
Tim thinks that should just dump itto get it take Lookark, don't
guard her very well. Let herlet her put sixty up, and then
she puts more butts in the seats. I think I think that people might
(09:18):
start to figure out that it wasstage cares that's well, no, then
that would get attention. Yeah thatwho cares? But look at they're not
selling out now the globetrotters sell out. Let it become the women globe trotter.
Who's really popular, even more popularthan the Globetrotters. Like the seats
are crazy. It's like the baseballglobe Trotters. The new thing that the
kids, like, my kids areso into it. All the kids are
(09:41):
into It's called the Savannah Bananas.Oh, my friends said, that's the
whole thing. And then they doall kinds of dances and they play baseball
on stilts and that that's the wholething. And I don't think the Washington
generals ever beat them either. Myfriend Jack, my friend Robbie Fox's son
Jack Fox, played for the Banana. Yeah, that's the thing, the
Savannah Banana. That's like the Globetrottersof baseball. That's very popular. We
got take a break here, buddy, great kick me out. I love
(10:01):
that shirt. That looks like aVictoria's Secret. It looks like a Beverly
Hills Hotel. Thank you. Well, you know I had to go to
a seminar today to learn to bea better radio personality, so I thought
I'd dress up to find myself moreopportunity. Maybe the best part was I
went to the seminar so the boss. Would you know, they asked us
to go, and the boss didthe whole seminar. And then after the
seminar he saw me and Matt standingthere and he goes, oh, you
(10:22):
guys just come to get the food. You don't come to the seminars,
Like, damn it, I wasthere, not even to give me were
loud credit for one hour. You'relistening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty. Mark Thompson'shere, And was it yesterday with Sam's
(10:43):
funeral? Yeah, that's horrible.Sam Rubin who passed away, one of
the great guys I've ever met mylife, and he passed away suddenly.
He was young too, holdly?Was he sixty four? Nexty four?
Brutal? I hate to say.I don't want to say that's young,
because I think that's insulting when yousay somebody, oh, that's young,
(11:03):
What with the subtext that is,oh, you didn't take care of yourself.
No, I think it's not thatit is. I think I think
it's what you're saying is based onthe average lifespan of people that is too
young to die. I know,but unless it's an accident or like,
if somebody died of an accident,you don't say, oh, you know,
(11:24):
you know, then you could sayhe went too early in an accident.
But when somebody dies of a heartattack, you never know what took
him out, You never know whathis health was like. And well,
there are all kinds of things thatare idiosyncratic to everybody in terms of these
that were I don't like to sayit about people because I think it's insulting.
(11:45):
All Right, well, we're gonnawe're gonna describe that. I'm I
guess it's like that on the stagesof grief or whatever. One of the
things is I'm angry that he's gone. Okay, but it's gotten too young.
Let me let me add something elsehere. For a guy who was
waking up at three o'clock every morningto do his job, he lived a
long life. That is brutal.Those are brutal hours that I look at.
(12:07):
I mean, I think you're rightin the other thing about I mean,
I think you're right in the sensethat that took its toll. But
I also think, honestly two things. A he pushed way beyond that.
He had, you know, allkinds of other He was always traveling and
supporting. And you know, hisson was this really active and scouting and
they they climbed and the Pyrenees andall of a sudden he's a bike rider.
(12:28):
Yeah, but he's really and sohe really was active in addition to
that schedule. But the other thingI would say is, hey, you
know, if that really were true, Bryant Gumbell, Tom bro Call,
all those people who hosted Morning TVwould be dead. They're not. I
mean, so I don't think thatthat's the thing. I mean, I
don't know what it was, Tim, But I don't know what it is
either. I just don't say aboutit. So his funeral was yesterday.
(12:50):
Yeah. Where was it? Itwas out at in Semi Valley. Yeah,
yeah, in Semi Valley. Yeah, that's cool. And a lot
of people show up for that.Was it a private? It was?
It was private, but it's verywell attended by his friends. And you
know, I was torn up aboutSo it's really tough. Not bad.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's SamRus I was. I was glad to
(13:13):
have known that guy. I don'tremember. I don't remember in my lifetime
anybody in local TV dying who gotwho knew that many people that I that
I that I personally knew or knewof, and who had that kind of
effect on people. I don't knowanybody. And everybody liked him, Yeah,
I mean it really was remarkable,and he extended himself for so many
(13:37):
It came on this show a lot, he did. He was great.
You know, we always loved havinghim on. Yeah, you know,
he was terrific. I missed that. He stepped up for a lot of
people. And you know the thingis you hear about that in the way
he's eulogized, and then you hearall the things he did for people,
I mean just that have nothing todo with the industry, just you know,
really extending himself, right, Andnot enough was talked about out about
(14:01):
his radio career, but he wasa great radio talk shows. He was
He was on kles X with youyeah a while. He came on right
after Howard Stern. Yeah, andsometimes he'd be on for two hours.
Sometimes he'd be on for thirty seconds. I filled in for him once and
it was hilarious. I literally didtwenty minutes, I think. Yeah,
some days he would do a minute. Come on, hey, Sam Rubin.
Howard went long, here's the regularguy. Yeah, exactly, that
(14:22):
was it. That was a wrapand he wouldn't know until, you know,
like ten thirty eleven o'clock in themorning, how long it really was
going to go. He was,and he was all over the world,
you know. He would do entertainmentreports in Australia and it was great.
Didn't he have you sit in forhim once? Yeah? In London.
Yeah, he was supposed to doa London thing. He said, Mark,
well you do this thing on BradPitt and Angela and Joel. That's
(14:45):
right, that's what that was whatI was. And didn't you tell him
you have no underway? I said, I entertainment, He said, Mark,
it doesn't matter. And I say, here's our man in Hollywood,
and then all of a sudden you'rethe guy. And that's exactly what they
did. BBC one, Let's goto Hollywood, California. I'm up.
The show business industry has to bebeside himself with this word about Angelina,
(15:05):
Jolee and Brent Pritt. Well,that's right, and often they released this
news on a Friday when the mediawon't give it as much attention. So
I just went off, that's great. He was right. He was right,
he said, Mark, read upon it and do it and you'll
be fine. Did you know thosetwo were married before they called? I
really did not know the territory.Well, yeah, I could care less.
(15:26):
I'm with you. I'm with you, buddy, I'm with you.
That's that's sad, though, I'dlike you out and see the grave site.
Though. I really loved that.What a wonderful guy. Wonderful guy,
Sam ruben Man, I missed that, dude. You're listening to Tim
Conway Junior on demand from KFI Amsixty I got yesterday. We played a
(15:48):
commercial for drunk driving where it saysbuzz driving is drunk driving, and there's
a guy. There's a woman whosays, hey, it starts with my
boyfriend up there he is with thewoo woo, right, that's how you
know he's and then he's like,oh, speech time, Okay, now
he's oh, now he's really buzzed. And at the end he's like he
goes, I know I'm too drunkto drive home, and he gets a
(16:10):
ride home, So I said atsix forty, I said, hey,
we should play that spot. It'sthe Ad Council. They do a great
job, and that's a relatable spotinstead of, you know, a group
of teenagers wiping out doing a cartwheelon the one oh one where everybody gets
thrown out of the car and everyonedies. Nobody relates to that until that's
you. Then you relate to itin a radical way, right, But
(16:33):
that commercial is relatable to a lotof people, and so I think it
works. So I said, hey, when we come back from the commercial,
we'll play it. And then wecome back from commercial and we're looking
for it, looking for it,looking for it, and then we finally
found it and played it. Andthen my wife says, you know,
when you said you're going to comeback and play the commercial, and then
you look for it and looked forit. It played during that commercial break,
(16:55):
but you and Steff Usher are toobusy looking for that is perfect?
Truly perfect, isn't that? Didyou know that stuff is? I didn't
realize that I was looking at Howgreat is that? Diligently they played while
we were looking for it. Ididn't realize that it is not wild?
Both of us, like two idiotslooking for it. It's in the background.
You could hear it. That's great. So I wonder if anyone else
picked that up. Maybe I don'tknow, right, I don't know.
(17:18):
Now you listen, possibly, butyeah, if you heard the podcast,
then you wouldn't have caught it.That's right. So you're still you're still
servicing the podcast audience. That's whatI'm doing the best, you know.
I like the podcast. All right, Spirit Airlines, you fly Spirit,
you got money? You probably don't, right, I do not. Yeah,
I mean I haven't yet. II wouldn't. I mean, that's
uh, you know, it's it'sI tried to book a ticket once and
(17:41):
then I did find all the additionalfees everything annoying. So I just decaid,
I'll just pay more and whatever.I flew to Detroit on Spirit and
it was it was a cheap ticket, and after once I got on board,
I realized why it was so inexpensive. I got on a burbank and
we tax seed to Phoenix and thentook off. Isn't that wild? Yeah?
(18:03):
That'll definitely yeah crazy discount the ticket, that's right. All right,
let's find out what's going on withSpirit Airlines evidently, you know, anytime
they're in the news, it's alwaysinteresting. Never know what's going on with
Spirit. A lot of people likeSpirit Airlines. Spirit Airlines, oh my
favorite. Yeah. I love theirbig blue seats. And I'm not kidding.
Yeah, they do have the bigblue seats. They used to call
it a big cushion seats. I'vegot nothing against Tom. Maybe I should
(18:26):
jump back on. Yeah, Iget on it. Let me hear what
the stretch right first, the latestlow cross carrier to eliminate thies for changing
or canceling your flights immediately. That'sall right. The carrier used to charge
between seventy and one hundred and twentydollars to change or cancel tickets. Spirits
announcement comes just days after Frontier Airlinesalso ended change and cancelation fees. The
Biden administration recently issued new rules forcingairlines to be upfront about add on fees
(18:51):
and ordering automatic cash refunds for canceledflights. There you go. So if
you've got a Spirit Airlines ticket,so you can cancel, move around a
little like Southwestern, so you cango everywhere you know. You can cancel
with Southwest almost any time you want. It's great. If you have a
kid going to college. Southwest isyour good friend because they always changed.
Oh sure, it was just lastminute, two buzzs to get on the
flight two hungover whatever there is.There's a guy for last two years,
(19:15):
interesting chap in Pasadena and he's lightingfireworks off or like m eighties for two
years. I saw that and theybusted him though. Yeah, and nobody
could find this guy for two years. When ca back, I'll tell you
they found this idiot. Yeah,how you found how? Yeah found he
was he was nailed. It wasinteresting, nailed himself. But how about
that a hole, you know,keeping people up for two years and he's
(19:36):
just like a sixty three year old. Yes, he's horrible, worst guy
in the wad, the hobby guy. And everyone's like, oh, he's
such a nice guy, nice guy, he's nut. I agree. You're
listening to Tim conwaytun you're on Demyofrom KFI AM six forty. It's Conway
Show. Mark Thompson's here and uhand we're gonna get to the story here.
(19:59):
The guy in Pasadena, he's beenkeeping everybody up for two years,
two years, exploding crap shutting upThese look like, yeah, little explosions,
all that crap. Two years andthey can't figure couldn't figure out who's
doing this. More than one hundredand fifty random explosions terrorizing a Pasadena neighborhood
for nearly two years, fourteen ofthem in just the last two weeks.
(20:23):
The latest Thursday morning. All ofa sudden, we here a boom,
and normally, you know, we'rekind of used to it because we're in
a corner, cars crashing. Butthen I see a plume of smoke right
in the corner. The explosive reignof terror coming to an end in front
of Burrito Express when police arrested sixtythree year old Aren't burying red handed just
(20:45):
moments after the I think they needanother name of that restaurant, and of
terror coming to an end in frontof Burrito Express with Burrito Express. Yeah,
that's tough. Burrito Express. Ithink Burrito's, you know, without
being said, or Express Burrito Express. When police arrested sixty three year old
Artburian read sixty three guy's blown upfireworks? Can you do that when you're
(21:10):
fourteen? Exactly thirteen? I'm sorry, buy a brick of fireworks? From
your dumb buddy, mister Buryon,he's arrested sixty three year old Art Burian
Art Burian, art Burian, redhanded. Just moments after the blast,
detectives brought about collecting evidence in relationto this case. Actually, and during
that time they hear an explosion,and so when they turn to look,
(21:33):
they see a white cloud. Hewas doing it so often that he didn't
bother to look around to see there'sa cop standing next to him. Yeah,
when he's doing it a little tooconfident, and through that white cloud
comes the suspects car. So theystopped the car's isn't that crazy because they
knew the car exactly right. Butwhat he said when he got arrested,
he said, they said, hey, are you responsible for the one hundred
(21:53):
and fifty explosions? He said,no, I've only litten off. I've
lit off three of these things.The other one hundred and forty seven came
out of Burrito Express and through thatwhite cloud comes you get it. No,
No, I don't. I don'tcare it Burrito Express. The other
explosion, I forget it. Idon't mean why I show up the suspect's
(22:14):
car. So they stop the carand it's him. They identify him and
arrest him. It was a shockingbecause it's just a longtime customer and he's
a nice guy, comes in,chats with me, my wife, you
know, it's just and then blowsthe place up on the way out.
Yeah, then drops an m adin the toilet, you know, their
family. So it's kind of shocking. You know, it's gonna you know,
not understanding what's going on most ofthe explosions. When he's gonna have
to find a new burrito joint whenhe gets out of the slammer because they're
(22:40):
not going to want him back there. Now. I would think that he's
gonna need to find a lot ofnew stuff. Yeah, new new set
of friends too. Yeah, maybea bishop or you know Zizi somewhere away
out of the desert, that highdesert. Yeah, which you're a little
uh satchel of explosives. This isa raindew picnic for the high Day.
(23:00):
This is nothing ported, but PasadenaFires arson investigator began tracking the blast caught
on the city shot spotter system,narrowing in on the area around Allen Avenue
and Washington Boulevard. Surveillance video helpingto identify barrion. Investigators say he would
throw the explosives from his car.Sources say other times he would use a
slingshot. The motive remains a mystery. Isn't that wild? What's the motive
(23:22):
for doing that scaring the hell outof people? I don't know what took
Pasadena two years to figure this out. That's odd, I mean, because
it's just that he throws it andkeeps driving. I don't think it's priority.
Two years a long time. Onehundred and fifty explosions, Yeah,
come on, right, fear youneed to hear it from enough residence.
You got to get on that.I look. I also the residents.
(23:47):
They should have been more on ittoo. If that happened around where I
live for two years, I wouldbe on it myself. Some I would
be out higher guys sit in acar is look around, ask for people,
and then just start Know the firsttime you see a guy throwing MD
out, just slice him in halfwith a chainsaw. Oh wow, you
have a real plan. Would youtake? What shift would you want for
(24:08):
the surveillance? Maybe after work forabout an hour, maybe seven d eight
seven day. Maybe the fear didnot I actually heard the bombs themselves.
I lived right down the street.We had neighbors who were terrified. They
would wake up in the middle ofthe night. We didn't know if it
was a fire or an explosion.Yeah, it's horrible to do to old
people too, living past the nextbrutally, I mean's terrrible. It's inexcusable.
(24:30):
There is no explanation. And theyought to hit him harder. Yeah,
put him in jail. Put himin jail for the you know,
the two years that he was exploding, give another forty. Put him in
for forty two years. Wow.Most of them were eights. But I
also heard there were homemade sticks oftype of dynamite that would have done more
damage if he were able to usethose. It's a miracle that no one
(24:52):
got Yeah, it's a miracle,and that no one got hurt. You
know, if a kid was ridinga skateboard bind he didn't see this kid
and he threw out a stick ofdynamite, I think could have been wiped
out. Sure, what's going onwith a lot of people in this world?
You know, it's it's wild outthere, it really is. You
got all the violence going on.There was another stabbing on the bus today.
I saw that there were three peoplethat got stabbed in Santa Monica.
Do you know every single night there'snine hundred to one thousand people living on
(25:17):
the streets of Santa Monica. That'sprobably down for when it used to be.
Remember Santa Monica they call the People'sRepublic of Santa Monica. Yeah,
it's wild and they look if youwant tourists. Two of them were German
tourists. Those Germans are going togo home and tell the story of what
Santa Monica is like and then guesswhat, Europeans aren't coming anymore. It
definitely hurts tourism, you got it. Yeah, you got to take care
(25:38):
of this, and I don't knowhow you do it, but you gotta.
You know, I don't throw thehomeless the crazy homeless. You know,
there's two couple types of homeless.There's the real, wild, crazy
homeless and then there's you know,guys just down on his luck. But
the wild, crazy homeless. Ithink it's they're overdue. They're overdue.
You think that they're past their expirationdate for sure? Yeah, yeah,
(26:00):
yeah, we got to get themhelp and we got to get them off
the streets. They're stabbing innocent people. There was a girl having ice cream
in Santa Monica and she was stabbedby a guy, homeless guy. Why
would you go to Santa Monica anymore? You know, until they get the
hold of that, I wouldn't.Yeah, I mean this public safety is
a serious concern, dude. Youhave to in a community feel safe.
(26:22):
That's right, that's right. Yougot and you're not to say in Santa
Monica, I used to be beautiful. We used to go to there all
the time, to Third Street Promenadeand walk around at night, you know,
almost like every weekend, you know, like one of those stupid things
we'd do. And now, ifmy daughter wanted to go to Santa Monica
and just walk around Third Street forthe night, I wouldn't let her go.
I'd take her keys. I sayno, you're not going, not
(26:44):
going at all. So I'd say, wow, you're tough. Yeah,
I'd say no, you're not going, and then I'd raise my voice,
you're not going at all, yeah, just to punctuate the moment. That's
right. Sometime, how do youthink that would work out? It's her
car and it's under her name,so legally she could call the cops and
demand I give her the keys bank. Oh wow, So I don't know.
Maybe that's would be that'd be atough Christmas. Yeah, but I'd
(27:07):
respect it, you know. That'swhy I put it under her name,
so it's hers and she could dowhat it wants. She wants. She
wants to sell it, sell it, you want him, But signing my
name, it's sign my wife.You're a good dad, Tim, I
really do. You never know.We'll see we'll see it, But you
