Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Camfi Am six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. The guy who
shot up the target is was a target himself with
LAPD and they got their guy and Krozier he shaved
his head. He's not frowzy anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He tried to do a disguise there and to take
the cops in a different direction, and the cops aw
right through that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Last night, the picks that we saw, the security camp picks,
he had the fro, but he had the do rag
on tops. He had that kind of bozo you know,
hair out the sides but flat on the top of
the dew rag on top. And I'm wondering if when
he did this, when he went to that target, he
had any inclination that all that hair was going to
be going twenty four hours later.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
No, there's no way.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But also what may have also set him off and
why he went crazy, is he has had it with
being referred to as bozo. That could have been uh,
I could have set them off as well, yeah, or krusty.
But it's not a not a good look, all right.
So we're gonna keep an eye on that story. That's fresh,
it's interesting, and another reason not to go down downtown.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Just saying that they're doing well enough to where they live. Oh,
I lost my headphones old on croage. Okay, go ahead.
I was just gonna say that, like you were saying,
they're doing well enough that they're that they have twelve
locations that expected to open around the country. A couple
in Washington State, a couple in DC, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New York, Alabama, Maryland.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Isn't that great though, Yeah, it's terrific, you know, congratulations
of Trader Joe's.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't know about any of these places like Rockville, Maryland,
I know is pretty could be a very money place.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Do you remember their slogan about ten twenty years ago.
They're buyer goofed and they bought too much oh yeah,
chocolate or too much wine flyers, the flyers fearless flyer
are buyer goofed, and he goofed for twenty years. Whoops,
he bought way too much crap for twenty years and
they kept him on guy guy goofed all the time?
Are buyer goofed? You know what I heard about Trader
(04:37):
Joe's wine not anymore. But when they first started, Yeah,
but no, all of their wine was insurance wine. It
was all insured for transportation and either got too hot
or got too cold, and so they sold it off
for like a dollar a bottle and Trader Joe's bought
it all, so.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was all it was all.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It was all wined insurance had to pay for and
then they sold it off to Trader Joe's. If that's
a rumor or not, But that's that's the old Trader
joe it's not the new Trader Joe's.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Can you buy cosmetics?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Can you buy like, you know, like hairspray and toothbrushes
and deodorant or anything like that in Trader.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Joe's by deodorant And I don't think that. Yeah, is
that it?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, but it's all gonna be like the homeopathic organic stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, all natural type of stuff. Yeah, like Tom's Brothers.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Or exactly a lot of that stuff. There's that whole
little section of Isle where it's the medicines that you
wouldn't otherwise know what the hell they are and don't work.
Yeah right, some wormwood thing, yeah right.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, it's a cinnamon toothpaste with no fluoride or anything right,
deodorant that doesn't really work, garlic flavored toothpaste, yeah, it's
all that crap Tom's.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
And then some candles on the aisle, right, anybody candles?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I got to get to that pie though that Steph
Bush was talking about, yeh man, that ice cream that
he described like a hula pie.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Is it chocolate crust on that pie?
Speaker 9 (06:06):
No, it's it's a crust, but it's like a coffee
ice cream in the pie. Like the pie is coffee
ice cream?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Right?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But is it a crust chocolate or crust regular? The
crust is regular? Yeah? I fix that really good?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
We are in a year of review. New Year's Eve
is to night tonight. I mean, what is it? It's
six seven, six hours and fifty minutes from right now.
You gotta get to that party, enjoy yourself by what's
going on with this year?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
As we close out this year and await the next.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I know it's a radio hack thing to do, but
we're doing it anyway.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
As we close out this year and await the next,
we want to look back at the moments that turned
into memories.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Pursuits, protests, a sports season to remember forever, and another
turbulent year from Mother Nature. Oh that shocking scene in
Ventura County the start of the new year was a
clue to what lay ahead in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 10 (07:04):
Last year was the second year in a row that
we've had above normal precipitation. When you have two years
in a row of heavy rain, then you start to
see real problems and problems.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
We had trees onto roofs and vehicles, intense rescues from
flood swollen channels, and mudslide upon mud slides slamming into homes,
leaving owners devastating.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
I don't know where I'm going to go just yet.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Two years of soaking rains proved to be too much
for neighborhoods and rancho palace verdes and rolling hills.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh that's right, rolling hills. People are sliding into the ocean.
I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Where massive shifts in the ground cracked homes, split streets,
and forced utilities to cut service, notably devastating Wayfarer's Chapel.
The historic and damaged landmark was painstakingly disassembled, with the
intent of eventually rebuilding somewhere else. Ironically, just a few
months later, firefighters would be praying for rain.
Speaker 11 (08:00):
When we talk about acreage specifically here in southern California.
It was a very active season.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Three massive wildfires burning in southern California. Homes destroyed, neighborhoods
under evacuation orders. The Line Bridge and Airport fires burned
out of control at the same time in mid September,
depleting resources across our area.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, we had a lot of fires, a lot of rain.
It was really bad. Mother Nature really uh to worked
on us this year.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I've been through a lot of fires.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
I've never seen them move that fast.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Even some of our crews had to evacuate while covering
the rapidly moving flames.
Speaker 12 (08:34):
At one point, as we were about to go live,
I just looked at Will and I said, we can't
go live. We got to get out of here. That
fire is moving too fast.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Homes were destroyed, fire lookouts that stood for decades are
now gone. But thanks to firefighters, Mountain High Ski Resort
was saved. Fit in November.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
The sustained wins anywhere from me.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
That's Mark Brown's version of Ernie Anderson, then.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Wit then then in November. So these are sustained winds
anywhere from sixty to eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
This is going to be a fairly strong SENTA and
a wind event.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
If we're going to categorize devastation, I mean, they're all devastating. Unfortunately,
for the Mountain Fire, I mean, whole communities were in cinders.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Thousands of people and animals forced to evacuate at a
moment's note.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Man, that was horrible. The fires last year was on
just unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It is almost impossible to imagine how these crews are
able to keep up with the rate of spread.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Here, nearly four hundred structures were damaged and destroyed in
the blink of an eye, some burning to the ground
just feet from ABC seven crews.
Speaker 13 (09:36):
We ended up kind of just stumbling upon this road.
We couldn't believe it when we got there. It's really
scary out here, to be honest with you, because right
across the street we have another fire. The wind was
so strong it was moving our van. It was physically
moving us. Once we stepped outside of the car, the
smoke was so dark it almost looked like the middle.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Of the night.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Miraculously, no lives were lost.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Isn't that crazy? Out of all the fires, nobody died in.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
The middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Miraculously, no lives were lost, but lives were changed forever.
Speaker 13 (10:06):
You think of all the memories that are in that home,
and you think of the people that have maybe grown
up in that home, lived in that home for so
many years.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Those homeowners are always on the mines of reporters while
on the scene.
Speaker 12 (10:17):
It's very important for me to state this is the
location of I'm at, and this is exactly what I'm seeing,
so that people who are watching me will be like, Okay,
that may be my neighborhood. That's close to my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Despite the fires which lasted into December, with the Franklin
Fire in Malibu, the floods and several instances of shaking ground,
we got a earthquake.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah, a lot of earthquakes as well. I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We certainly do.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
We got an earthquake right now, Leslie, we get you
prepared to.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Talk about this.
Speaker 10 (10:42):
We're shaken pretty good.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
There was also beauty from Mother Nature in twenty twenty four,
So what can we expect next year?
Speaker 10 (10:48):
The Laannina, which is the cooling of the water, is
not progressing as our computer models thought it would. If
that happens Marrain. All that's wrong. I mean, we could
say another season of at least normal or maybe even
slightly above normal rate, but my forecast is for slightly.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Below slightly below Okay, all right, well we'll.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
See, we'll see how that shakes down.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
All right, So yeah, twenty twenty four was you know,
Mother nature really kicked our ass this year with the
fires and the floods and god, I remember the last
two years. Remember the people snowed in up at Big
Bear in Lake Arrowhead for weeks. The National Guard had
to go up there with plows and get all those
(11:34):
people out of there.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
There's a tough couple of years.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Mother nature really really kicked our ass last couple of
years here in southern California. All right, when we come back,
we've got some other news happening as well. We'll keep
you an eye an eye on this chap who they've
caught downtown Los Angeles. And today today is the anniversary
of something that we all will remember.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
We'll go back. I'm gonna tell you about.
Speaker 14 (11:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am six forty as Conway.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Show Live on KFI AM six forty This is the
fifth year anniversary of.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
COVID. How about that? Yeah, I know I.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Got him, guy, I see that, you know, I see
the phone and steph Oush and Bellio's waving her arms
out there like, oh, this guy has been doing this
for two days. Let's see if we can. You know,
I am mighty, both of you. All right, let's put
him on a great way to introduce him, right, make
(12:38):
me angry as hell. Then we have our guests on.
That's great, all right, Alex Michaels And how you.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Bob being jong with you? Happy COVID anniversarying.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Dong with you.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, this is the fifth anniversary.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I can't believe it. Can you believe it's been five years?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's horrible crazy, But you remember when it started, how
panicked everybody was. You know, you went to a grocery
store and you filled your cart up with crap you
wouldn't eat, just because it was the only thing left
on the shelf.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, And for whatever reason, there was that run on
toilet paper, yesh.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
On toilet paper and paper towels and bottled water, and
it was it was a rough couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
You know, I've thought about this recently. We should have
gotten a better sense of things when the homeless people
outside didn't get sick, that's right. Well, maybe that should
have told us something that maybe these guys who are
literally living in squalor but are outside, that's right, not
getting sick. Maybe sending everybody inside is not the way
(13:39):
to go.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That's exactly right. And you remember when you know, about three.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Years ago, maybe four years ago, I flew into Ontario
airport and the guy that picked us up to drive
us back to Burbank, he was from Africa. I think
he was from Kenya. And I said to him, I said, hey,
how did people in Kenya? Because he just he was
fresh from Africa, been here for two weeks. I said,
how did people in Kenya? How'd you guys handle the pandemic?
(14:04):
And he says, oh, I'll tell you about it. He says,
we didn't. We didn't wear any masks, we didn't wear
any gloves, nobody got any shots, we didn't close any
score schools, we didn't close any businesses, and everybody went
on their daily life.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I said, oh, how'd you do with deaths?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He said, we had I think one or two in
the entire country. We panicked in this country, and it
cost a lot of people lives because you know, when
you panicked like that and then you get COVID, it
affects you because you think you're going to die and
you're not.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
For the most part, well, there there were a million
people that did die.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Yeah, but all count Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But the people that died, they all had four or
five things working.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You know, a lot of overweight, a.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Lot of you know, preconditions, a lot of lung problems,
a lot of you know, a lot of bodies already
breaking down. For healthy people when they got COVID, they
had a very easy time with it for the most part.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Yeah, the society to treat a three hundred pounds eighty
year old the saying you do a seven year old
as not exactly the way to go. And that was
our mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And to close the schools much political correctly, well, well,
I will never forgive the the county and the city
for doing for closing the schools.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I will never forgive them for them ever.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Olhough the whole country did that too. Wasn't just just
here I don't live with the whole problem was the
problem was that we kept them closed longer understandable maybe
the first couple of weeks as you try to figure
out what it is. Right, once we knew what it was,
and the teachers unions were being obstinate that they wouldn't
come back, and in other areas where teachers unions weren't
(15:42):
being like that, the kids did go back. That was unexcusable.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, it really affected a lot of kids in a
very negative way.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
All right, Happy New Year, buddy. On a happy note.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know we're doing that now.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
You guys are doing the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah, it's the first time that Fox has done the
parade in thirty years, so we're really excited to be
to be hosting it. Christine Devine and myself are going
to be hosting it from eight am to ten am,
commercial free, and then we're going to repeat it two
or three times after that for all the people that
are out partying tonight and are hungover and don't wake
up at eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Everybody version of it for you about.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
It a little bit, Yeah, I mean I remember going
to the parade as a kid and looking up at
the stands and looking up at Bob you Banks and
Stephanie Edwards and looking up and all that and thinking, man,
it would be so cool one day to be able
to do that, and as a socow kid to be
able to actually do it tomorrow is really really exciting
and kind of surreal for me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
They got the perfect guy to do it, right, guys,
not going to make fun of anybody. He's not going
to you know, there's no uh, you know, you're not
going to swear, You're not going to drink, you're not
going to smoke.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You're just going to say, hey, those floats are great.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Are you suggesting that you would make fun of people
and then swear if you were doing it. I kind
of want to watch your version of the parade.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
But you've got to be very careful on what you
say and what you don't right if you want to
do it again.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, it's probably not that not the show to
do that, as I think like the drunk uncle version
of the rose Bridge. Yeah, look at that one sucks.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Kroko that is, that's right. I'd like to see that
sad version. So take us behind the scenes. Here. Are
you staying there overnight to make sure you're there on time?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
I'm not, but I'm probably getting off the around three
thirty in the morning or show. I don't know if
I'm going to be able to sleep, you know, I'm
like you, like we work nights, so I usually go
to bed around one o'clock in the morning. So the
idea that all of a sudden, I'm going to fall
asleep at like seven thirty is kind of hard to
hard to imagine. I may not get a lot of sleep,
but that's okay. Again, take a nap afterwards. But it's
(17:51):
it should be yeah, it should be really cool. I
mean we went out there a few different times to
check them out in person and talk to some of
the people behind it as part of the preparation and
in it really is extraordinary to see them and to
smell them. I mean, the you know, a lot of
them have an average fifty thousand flowers per float. I mean,
it's just incredible to see the detail up close of
(18:14):
all of them. Have you have you been out there?
Have you done all that?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Not even close?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Okay, have you even thought about it?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
But Alex Michaels is with us a Channel eleven tomorrow
at eight a m. Do they give you a bunch
of stuff to read and to study up on what
to say?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
About these floats.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Yeah, yeah, I've got a whole binder of that, and
then I've been doing some of my own research on
it as well, and just why a lot of people
know if they don't want to come out there tomorrow,
they may want to bring their families out for three
days afterwards Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. You can come check
out the floats with your families. Oh. I think it's
like twenty bucks or so, but you can come look
(18:52):
at all of them up close in person and smell
it and see the detail and all that. And for
people that have kids that are listening to it, it could
be a really cool for a family thing on one
of these days. And there isn't that much going on
a lot of people have the day off.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
And where are they going to park you? Where are
you going to be?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
We're right there? I think it's Orange Grove And what
is it?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Colorado?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Right there? That's yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
And how did they decide to use you?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I mean, Fox got the go ahead to you know,
that's very tough to get the broadcast rights to that parade.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
How'd they pick you?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I don't know, but I'm grateful that they that they did.
I mean We're going to be the only local anchor
team doing it. Some of the other national networks have
their people, and k t LA, you know, hires some
people that just do it once a year who are
great Mark Steinis and Lisa Gibbons, but will be the
only sort of regular local anchor team doing it with
a very LA focused which which I think is very cool.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Buddy.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I'll be watching you, maybe not on the first round
or the second round, but I'll be watching you maybe
on the third round.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
The third round with the football games about the beginning,
exactly right.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I think it's great. Your parents must be on the moon.
I mean, you know, for your parents to take you
that parade and then you're broadcasting it's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I know, it was cool. We were reflecting on what
it was like to go there as a kid and
all of that. So it's I mean, it's such an
iconic part of southern California. I think on average fifty
million people watch it from around the world, in like
two hundred countries. So it's something that the whole world
wakes up on New Year's Day and they see us.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Yeah, and the weather's going to be spectacular.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
It always is, right, I mean, I think it's rained
like once or twice in over one hundred years on
January first. I mean, there's something about that roast brain.
That's why they started it in eighteen ninety was to
show the world what a great climate Pasadena had as
a way to try to attract people to come move there,
and year after year the weather cooperates. Now.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Conversely, can you imagine being in Times Square right now
where it's pouring and you're in these little like you know,
ten by ten cubes and you can't go to the bathroom.
You have to be in your cube at three o'clock
and you don't get out of there till one am.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I saw a reporter that I know who was in

Speaker 14 (22:19):
You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I would play Crazy Taxi and then I would my
buddy would would come home because I was I was uh.
I was living in Sherman Oaks, a friend of mine,
and he'd come home.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I go.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
He got off work early? Does he work all night?
It's not six am? I wait?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I've been playing since eleven pm. Yeah, addicted to it.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
We used to hear at KFI when I worked here
in the overnights, we used to bring in game systems
because before we played Coast to Coast we would do
best of us from the day prior, so all the
board ups had edited them out and then we had
to put them all together and then we ran them
in the overnight. And I was the board up back then,
and we used to bring in game system It was
about three or four of us and including like Tony Sorrentino,
(23:11):
he brought in his system. Maybe we would play Crazy
Taxi and all those other games that were around at
that time.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, Crazy the night Crazy Taxi was the best. Yeah
you could get you know, you take.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
That car into the water. He just cruise underwater for
half hour.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Some of the fighting games, it's like Soul Caliber was
just really cool and graphic and awesome and just yeah
all night long.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And when you got into a groove with Crazy tax
you had like at the end of the night, you
had one really good run.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We got a bunch of people, picked a bunch of
people up, got a bunch of points, didn't crash, didn't
injure anybody, and man, that was a time to hit
the hay and it was hard to put it down.
It was it was addicting and and you know, and
when I it wasn't just once where I played from
eleven pm till six am, like once a week.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I just couldn't put it down. It was a drug
and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I loved it Crazy Taxi if they still have it
or not, they still have it stuff?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Fooh they still have Crazy. I'm sure you can download it.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
But yeah, but people, you know, but the best thing
is to have the console, the one that they had
the arcade because they had that.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The gas pedal was the foot Oh I didn't know
they had the Arcade one. Yeah, oh, I didn't know
that fun is one. Oh man, I got to look
into that.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's wild. I enjoyed them. I knew I'd be addicted.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I had to get rid of it because I would
just I'd still be doing it right now, you know,
I'm the stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Most of them were one of those ones that had
the chair that was already attached to it. You know,
you didn't stand up and play it, you Oh right, yeah,
the arcade games.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah, I gotta I gotta find out one of those.
That's a cool deal cockpit seated had.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I my.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
We live in a small town, Burbank, I consider a
small town.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
And here's a perfect example of it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
My daughter has just opened up a bank account and
they kept her ATM card.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It was, you know, potential fraud or something, or she
missed her I.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Don't know something happened.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But the bank at you meet, Federal Credit Union, And
so I went in there today and I tell you,
I don't know why people go to banks. I don't
know why everybody doesn't go to a credit union. But
this you me with this woman helped us out.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Judy.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
She has dinner every night with her one hundred and
four year old mother, Ruth Ruth. Every night, every single night,
she has dinner with her mom, who's one hundred and
four laughing at Jimmy Carter for not making it past
one hundred, laughing, wow, one hundred and four. And she
(25:45):
went to this this woman who's the vice president of
you mean, Federal Credit Union. She went to the exact
same school as my daughter went to the exact same
schools elementary, junior high, or maybe they went to a
different junior high and then high school. And it's it's
great living in a small town yet being in a
big town, you know, having the Kings, Lakers, Dodgers, Rams,
(26:08):
but living in a small town. And if you have
that in Lacayata, I think, you know, for the most part,
Seami Valley is a small town, has that small town feel,
people living out there for generations. Valencia, Santa Clarita, that's
another one. Seal Beach down in Orange County, another small town.
But living in a small town in southern California is
(26:30):
really a good idea. You know, you get all the
benefits of the weather and all the benefits of living
around community where people from generation after generation after generation
grow up and you stay and you develop you know,
deep roots in in a in a city that means
a lot to people. And you know, uh and and
(26:53):
I and when I I know that this. You know,
Judy Sherman is is the bank you know, vice president
over there, and she's been in Burbank for sixty five
seventy years, And I don't think there's any equivalent to that.
So if you live in a small town, maybe it's
not Burbank, but live in a small town in southern California,
don't move.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Don't move. Stick it out.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Stay in the small town, and your kids will grow
up knowing other people's kids. They'll have kids, and that's
how you get generational friends and generational businesses. They stay
and you know, you recognize somebody, and you develop friendships
for life and develop generational friendships. So if you're in
(27:38):
a if you're in southern California and you're not happy
with your area because you live in LA and it's dangerous,
there's people shooting each other all the time, go find
a small town somewhere in southern California.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Maybe you're thinking about it. Do it.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You'll never regret it, never ever will regret it. All right,
let's have it. There was a story about the Mega millions.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Here.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Let's see if I can find this thing, the Mega Millions.
This guy wants to stay anonymous. The guy won in
California up in Cottonwood.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
It wasn't you, It wasn't me.
Speaker 15 (28:11):
So I'm gonna pause there for the audible grows. But
we do have a Mega Million's winner. That single winning
ticket that matched all of those six numbers was sold
at a northern California gas station.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Now, those life changing numbers.
Speaker 15 (28:24):
They're right there, three, seven, thirty seven, forty nine fifty
five and that power magic number there six. Now, if
you're wondering who that lucky winner is, it won't be
too long before we find out California is one of
those states that does not allow for anonymity of lottery winner.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, we shoved this guy right in front of the
cameras so they can ruin his life.
Speaker 15 (28:43):
They will also get this five winning tickets sold that
matched five of the numbers to win that second tier prize.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Not a bad consolation.
Speaker 15 (28:51):
The jackpot winner can go with either that one time
lump sum payment of five hundred and forty nine point
seven million, or go with the annuity option of one
immediate payment followed by twenty nine annual payments. Now this
jackpot standing as the fifth largest in Mega Million's history.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Still shy, You know, Krozier, You're always the guy that
say take the you take the lump sum, right?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
No? No, you you don't. You take the annuities. Yes, absolutely,
really far more money.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Wow, I don't know, but see, you could run into
a problem like back in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen in
the state of Illinois, they ran out of money. They
ran out of lottery money, they spent an.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Other crap and so you're running the risk. Take them
to court, that's a contract.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
No, they took him to court and they eventually won,
but it was a you know, a lot of lawyers involved.
It was a pain in the ants. Just got to
take it all. Yeah, I don't know. I think you
take the If it was five hundred and fifty million,
I'd take the lump sum you can.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You can typically transfer your lottery winnings to you know,
inherit or transfer to winter beneficiaries and heirs. Oh all right,
so there's a reason to do it as well. We're
not going to spend as much money unless you're really dumb.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Yeah, you're not going to blow through it.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I'd love to have that problem though, deciding on whether
it take twenty nine payments or one plump sum or like.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
What's his face and buy the what he bought like
an eighty million dollar house?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Well yeah, yeah, right, yeah, Castro. Yeah, he started buying
up real estate. Yeah, hey, guys, bought his mom and
dad a house. You bought a beach house or Hollywood
Hill's house. Yeah, hills get all these cars guys living large. Yeah,
lottery one point two billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
What do you want to buy with one point two
billion that you couldn't buy with one hundred million?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Honest to god, I think the lottery would ruin my life.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I really do. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
They've been a couple of movies about of documentaries of
people that how they've gone broken. Some people have actually
won more than once and gone broke both.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Times, which is yeah, that's why there's that show The
lottery ruined my life.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I think it would ruin my life instantly, because I
would think everybody that talked to me would just want,
you know, want some change.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
They'd want to package. Why you just leave the country
by another one?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, Like like when somebody said hi to me, I
would be okay, you want to package how much?
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, I'll give you an envelope?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Here.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
There you go. Is that enough? Is that enough for you?
Is that enough?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think it would ruin a lot of your friendships
because every time a guy would call you just to
say hi, you're like, hey, how you doing? Like, well,
I just got to I just got from back from
Switzerland on my plane.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
What's going on with you? How's your Toyota? Is it
still running?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
That's why you never answer the phone again. If you
would always have to help everybody out, ye calls you up. Hey,
my I'd call you last week, but my cell phone
was up. Okay, well I'll send you a check. Where
do I go T Mobile?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
What's your acount number? And then you know, all of
a sudden, you become a banker. You know, that's all
your whole life. I think it would ruin my life.
I really do, because I don't spend that much money.
You know, I go to Target, I got Walmart, and
I don't really buy much. The only thing, the only
problem I have is that I really enjoy the racetrack.
So if I if I made five hundred and fifty
million dollars, I just dumped my beds.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I blow it all at the racetrack.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Five and fifty milis all of it just And then
people call me, hey, I kind of borrow fifty ground.
I know, I went through it all. Wait minute, you
went through five hundred and fifty million dollars in a month. Yeah,
I got photoed out and a lot of races didn't
work out. Yeah, a lot of people I bet lie
and say they don't have any more money. They spent
it all because it would ruin a lot, It would
ruin my life. It would help Stepfu Stephu should be
(32:21):
a king turned into a land baron.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Forty our New Year's Security for New York City. They
don't f around, they do not joke around on New
Year's Eve. Everybody gets the treatment.
Speaker 16 (32:42):
We are, of course, on the verge of a brand
new year people, and it is already twenty twenty five.
On the other side of the world, places like Auckland,
New Zealand have already kicked off the celebrations and here
in Times Square, huge crowds are expected to watch the
ball drop at midnight, despite some not so nice weather
in the forecast.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, it's pouring. People are soaked. They've been there since
three o'clock in the afternoon. They're soaked to the bone.
They're going to be tired, they're going to be sick,
and they're not going to have any fun and they're
going to be exhausted for a week for what they
could have sat home and just looked at the TV.
Speaker 16 (33:20):
And just like every year, this event is a major
test for law enforcement. They are working hard to keep
everybody safe. Nicki Batiste got an inside look at those preparations,
and she is down in Times Square. Good morning, Niki,
my friend.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
You know, I used to work for Dick Clark. I
worked for Dick Clark for I don't know, maybe two
and a half years or so. And I was in
New York when they're doing the New Year's Rocket Eve
and I called my buddy there, Larry, and he was
there with the whole crew, you know, Dick Clark was there.
And I said, Hey, do you guys need an extra
(33:54):
pa And he goes, oh, yeah, He goes, are you
in La New York? I said yeah. He goes, oh,
we don't have to put you up in a hotel. And
I think, yeah, we'll you come work for us for
two days. We'd love it. And so I worked the
New Year's Rocket Eve there for two days and it's
pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, it was a fun job.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
My job was to get in a van and drive
people back and forth to hotels or the airport or
you know, the base camp and all that crap. And
I used to drive. Uh so I'd just drive a van,
you know, back and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Who are some of the celebs you grew?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I didn't get any celebrities. I got a crew, and
I enjoyed them. Belly, I know you're sort of a
snob and you'll need to you know, Ira Fistelle and
and you know, I have Jackie Lacey and all your
other celebrity friends you hang out with. But I was
just driving, you know, cameraman and sound guys nice to
Yeah they were nice too, Yeah they were.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
There were beautiful people.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So I would drive a van and I worked for
you know, two days or so, and I remember coming
back to the actual set and I had cameramen and
sound guys and you know, lighting guys, make up women,
wardrobe people, and I dropped him all off, and then
I had to sit in the van and wait for
(35:07):
the van to fill up again. And there was a
beautiful parking spot right in front of where I had
to be, and typically I would have to double park,
and I would have to sit there in the van
and the cops would come up and harass you and
say you got to move, and then I have to
drive around the block. And I missed a couple of people,
and I was paying the ants so there was a
parking spot, and I was a parking spot right there,
(35:27):
and there was a homeless guy. He was sitting on
the curb, laying down and his feet were in the street.
So I got out and I say, hey, buddy, I said,
can you move out of the street so I can
park here? And he's like, nah, yeah, he can't bargere.
I said, buddy, come on, let me let me let
me park there. And he's like, no, you're not gonna
You can't park here. He's laying in the street so
(35:48):
I can't pull the van in. And I said, I said, buddy,
come on, I'll give you twenty dollars if I could
just park here.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I don't know you're twenty dollars. And so I went
to grab him to move him, which I probably should
probably shouldn't have done him what. I just needed to
move him.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
I'm gonna move him around.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
I just need to move his he could stay on
the sidewik.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I just needed to move his feet out of the street,
like literally, I picked up his feet to move him
out of the street, and he jumped up, flipped out
a badge and said, I'm an undercover.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Off I did not see this coming out.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Yeah, you touched me or get anywhere near me again,
you'll spend the.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Next month in jail. Wow, I loaded up my pants.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I was only twenty at the time, maybe twenty one,
And I never will ever forget that.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
Why wouldn't he move and let you like, why not
get up on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Because they were gonna They're gonna bring in an undercover
car there.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
He was an undercover cop, got it.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
And they're bringing in there. They're working on a big
deal there.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
And this idiot who works for Dick Clark Productions was
going to move him.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
That's a great story.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Great story story.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
You should tell the story about the celebrity that you
left at the Hollywood Bowl when she.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Asked her that was Loretta's wit from Mash I got.
And she'll still remember this because she was really really
angry with me, but I picked her up. She lives
up in the Hollywood Hill as I can tell you where,
and I drove over to the Hollywood Bowl and she's
with another couple. She was with her husband and there
(37:38):
was another couple there. And I drove to the Hollywood
Bowl and I got there early and I got a
parking spot, and she says, hey, she goes. You know,
I know it's a nightmare after the concert. Can you
stay right here? You know, I'll pay for the parking
spot if you stay right here. I said, yeah, sure,
and so she laughed. I got bored in about I
(37:58):
don't know, five minutes, and I split because I had
three hours to kill. I was gonna sit at home,
you know, I was gonna sit there for three hours.
So I drove home. I think I was playing crazy
taxi for a couple hours, and then drove back and
they wouldn't let me back in that parking lot.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Sai, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I'm here to pick up a celebrity, and they said,
we don't care what celebrity is. You're not getting back
in the parking lot because people are already starting to
come out. And so this was before cell phones. I
didn't have any way to contact or anything. And I
was calling her manager and her manager picked up. He's like,
why aren't you there? She just called me and I'm like,
I'm on the street, but I'm a block away. And
(38:36):
she ended up taking a cab home, and she was
really really upset.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Maybe you should have stayed there, you think.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
I should have. Yeah, I had hot lived school of him.
I know what was in the car.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
She was very nice on the way there until I
screwed up and I and I felt like.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
I I screwed up. I angered the hell out of her.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
We had her on this show show though a few
years ago.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Yeah, I don't remember if I asked her about Did
I ask her about it? Or did you remember it?
Speaker 6 (39:05):
I remember that I think you did, and I think
it triggered her a little bit.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I don't remember who the concert was, but I could
probably look it up because there was logs of all that,
you know, all my drives, hot lips ful of hen.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Yeah, the only guy in LA that really pissed her
off me My real live New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
We are coming up on six o'clock, so you have
six hours until we are into a brand new year.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Good luck. We're live on KFI AM six.

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 Camfi Am six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. The guy who
shot up the target is was a target himself with
LAPD and they got their guy and Krozier he shaved
his head. He's not frowzy anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He tried to do a disguise there and to take
the cops in a different direction, and the cops aw
right through that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Last night, the picks that we saw, the security camp picks,
he had the fro, but he had the do rag
on tops. He had that kind of bozo you know,
hair out the sides but flat on the top of
the dew rag on top. And I'm wondering if when
he did this, when he went to that target, he
had any inclination that all that hair was going to
be going twenty four hours later.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
No, there's no way.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But also what may have also set him off and
why he went crazy, is he has had it with
being referred to as bozo. That could have been uh,
I could have set them off as well, yeah, or krusty.
But it's not a not a good look, all right.
So we're gonna keep an eye on that story. That's fresh,
it's interesting, and another reason not to go down downtown.
Speaker 5 (01:14):

Oh so Woodbury is a part of Irvine. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But the cops don't mess around there. Oh, no, uf
around in Woodbury, man.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
You forget about it.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, yeah, they don't tolerate that, this kind of crap
that we do in La. All right, So three new
brand new Trader Jos and that's exciting for people live
in the valley. One in Northridge, one in Sherman Oaks,
one in Tarzana, and.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Just saying that they're doing well enough to where they live. Oh,
I lost my headphones old on croage. Okay, go ahead.
I was just gonna say that, like you were saying,
they're doing well enough that they're that they have twelve
locations that expected to open around the country. A couple
in Washington State, a couple in DC, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New York, Alabama, Maryland.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Isn't that great though, Yeah, it's terrific, you know, congratulations
of Trader Joe's.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't know about any of these places like Rockville, Maryland,
I know is pretty could be a very money place.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Do you remember their slogan about ten twenty years ago.
They're buyer goofed and they bought too much oh yeah,
chocolate or too much wine flyers, the flyers fearless flyer
are buyer goofed, and he goofed for twenty years. Whoops,
he bought way too much crap for twenty years and
they kept him on guy guy goofed all the time?
Are buyer goofed? You know what I heard about Trader
(04:37):
Joe's wine not anymore. But when they first started, Yeah,
but no, all of their wine was insurance wine. It
was all insured for transportation and either got too hot
or got too cold, and so they sold it off
for like a dollar a bottle and Trader Joe's bought
it all, so.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
It was all it was all.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It was all wined insurance had to pay for and
then they sold it off to Trader Joe's. If that's
a rumor or not, But that's that's the old Trader
joe it's not the new Trader Joe's.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Can you buy cosmetics?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Can you buy like, you know, like hairspray and toothbrushes
and deodorant or anything like that in Trader.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Joe's by deodorant And I don't think that. Yeah, is
that it?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, but it's all gonna be like the homeopathic organic stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah, all natural type of stuff. Yeah, like Tom's Brothers.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Or exactly a lot of that stuff. There's that whole
little section of Isle where it's the medicines that you
wouldn't otherwise know what the hell they are and don't work.
Yeah right, some wormwood thing, yeah right.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, it's a cinnamon toothpaste with no fluoride or anything right,
deodorant that doesn't really work, garlic flavored toothpaste, yeah, it's
all that crap Tom's.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
And then some candles on the aisle, right, anybody candles?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I got to get to that pie though that Steph
Bush was talking about, yeh man, that ice cream that
he described like a hula pie.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Is it chocolate crust on that pie?
Speaker 9 (06:06):
No, it's it's a crust, but it's like a coffee
ice cream in the pie. Like the pie is coffee
ice cream?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Right?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But is it a crust chocolate or crust regular? The
crust is regular? Yeah? I fix that really good?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
We are in a year of review. New Year's Eve
is to night tonight. I mean, what is it? It's
six seven, six hours and fifty minutes from right now.
You gotta get to that party, enjoy yourself by what's
going on with this year?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
As we close out this year and await the next.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I know it's a radio hack thing to do, but
we're doing it anyway.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
As we close out this year and await the next,
we want to look back at the moments that turned
into memories.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Pursuits, protests, a sports season to remember forever, and another
turbulent year from Mother Nature. Oh that shocking scene in
Ventura County the start of the new year was a
clue to what lay ahead in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 10 (07:04):
Last year was the second year in a row that
we've had above normal precipitation. When you have two years
in a row of heavy rain, then you start to
see real problems and problems.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
We had trees onto roofs and vehicles, intense rescues from
flood swollen channels, and mudslide upon mud slides slamming into homes,
leaving owners devastating.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
I don't know where I'm going to go just yet.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Two years of soaking rains proved to be too much
for neighborhoods and rancho palace verdes and rolling hills.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh that's right, rolling hills. People are sliding into the ocean.
I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Where massive shifts in the ground cracked homes, split streets,
and forced utilities to cut service, notably devastating Wayfarer's Chapel.
The historic and damaged landmark was painstakingly disassembled, with the
intent of eventually rebuilding somewhere else. Ironically, just a few
months later, firefighters would be praying for rain.
Speaker 11 (08:00):
When we talk about acreage specifically here in southern California.
It was a very active season.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Three massive wildfires burning in southern California. Homes destroyed, neighborhoods
under evacuation orders. The Line Bridge and Airport fires burned
out of control at the same time in mid September,
depleting resources across our area.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, we had a lot of fires, a lot of rain.
It was really bad. Mother Nature really uh to worked
on us this year.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I've been through a lot of fires.
Speaker 11 (08:27):
I've never seen them move that fast.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Even some of our crews had to evacuate while covering
the rapidly moving flames.
Speaker 12 (08:34):
At one point, as we were about to go live,
I just looked at Will and I said, we can't
go live. We got to get out of here. That
fire is moving too fast.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Homes were destroyed, fire lookouts that stood for decades are
now gone. But thanks to firefighters, Mountain High Ski Resort
was saved. Fit in November.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
The sustained wins anywhere from me.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
That's Mark Brown's version of Ernie Anderson, then.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Wit then then in November. So these are sustained winds
anywhere from sixty to eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 10 (09:04):
This is going to be a fairly strong SENTA and
a wind event.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
If we're going to categorize devastation, I mean, they're all devastating. Unfortunately,
for the Mountain Fire, I mean, whole communities were in cinders.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Thousands of people and animals forced to evacuate at a
moment's note.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Man, that was horrible. The fires last year was on
just unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It is almost impossible to imagine how these crews are
able to keep up with the rate of spread.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Here, nearly four hundred structures were damaged and destroyed in
the blink of an eye, some burning to the ground
just feet from ABC seven crews.
Speaker 13 (09:36):
We ended up kind of just stumbling upon this road.
We couldn't believe it when we got there. It's really
scary out here, to be honest with you, because right
across the street we have another fire. The wind was
so strong it was moving our van. It was physically
moving us. Once we stepped outside of the car, the
smoke was so dark it almost looked like the middle.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Of the night.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Miraculously, no lives were lost.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Isn't that crazy? Out of all the fires, nobody died in.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
The middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Miraculously, no lives were lost, but lives were changed forever.
Speaker 13 (10:06):
You think of all the memories that are in that home,
and you think of the people that have maybe grown
up in that home, lived in that home for so
many years.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Those homeowners are always on the mines of reporters while
on the scene.
Speaker 12 (10:17):
It's very important for me to state this is the
location of I'm at, and this is exactly what I'm seeing,
so that people who are watching me will be like, Okay,
that may be my neighborhood. That's close to my neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Despite the fires which lasted into December, with the Franklin
Fire in Malibu, the floods and several instances of shaking ground,
we got a earthquake.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah, a lot of earthquakes as well. I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We certainly do.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
We got an earthquake right now, Leslie, we get you
prepared to.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Talk about this.
Speaker 10 (10:42):
We're shaken pretty good.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
There was also beauty from Mother Nature in twenty twenty four,
So what can we expect next year?
Speaker 10 (10:48):
The Laannina, which is the cooling of the water, is
not progressing as our computer models thought it would. If
that happens Marrain. All that's wrong. I mean, we could
say another season of at least normal or maybe even
slightly above normal rate, but my forecast is for slightly.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Below slightly below Okay, all right, well we'll.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
See, we'll see how that shakes down.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
All right, So yeah, twenty twenty four was you know,
Mother nature really kicked our ass this year with the
fires and the floods and god, I remember the last
two years. Remember the people snowed in up at Big
Bear in Lake Arrowhead for weeks. The National Guard had
to go up there with plows and get all those
(11:34):
people out of there.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
There's a tough couple of years.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Mother nature really really kicked our ass last couple of
years here in southern California. All right, when we come back,
we've got some other news happening as well. We'll keep
you an eye an eye on this chap who they've
caught downtown Los Angeles. And today today is the anniversary
of something that we all will remember.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
We'll go back. I'm gonna tell you about.
Speaker 14 (11:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am six forty as Conway.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Show Live on KFI AM six forty This is the
fifth year anniversary of.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
COVID. How about that? Yeah, I know I.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Got him, guy, I see that, you know, I see
the phone and steph Oush and Bellio's waving her arms
out there like, oh, this guy has been doing this
for two days. Let's see if we can. You know,
I am mighty, both of you. All right, let's put
him on a great way to introduce him, right, make
(12:38):
me angry as hell. Then we have our guests on.
That's great, all right, Alex Michaels And how you.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Bob being jong with you? Happy COVID anniversarying.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Dong with you.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, this is the fifth anniversary.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
I can't believe it. Can you believe it's been five years?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's horrible crazy, But you remember when it started, how
panicked everybody was. You know, you went to a grocery
store and you filled your cart up with crap you
wouldn't eat, just because it was the only thing left
on the shelf.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, And for whatever reason, there was that run on
toilet paper, yesh.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
On toilet paper and paper towels and bottled water, and
it was it was a rough couple of weeks.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
You know, I've thought about this recently. We should have
gotten a better sense of things when the homeless people
outside didn't get sick, that's right. Well, maybe that should
have told us something that maybe these guys who are
literally living in squalor but are outside, that's right, not
getting sick. Maybe sending everybody inside is not the way
(13:39):
to go.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That's exactly right. And you remember when you know, about three.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Years ago, maybe four years ago, I flew into Ontario
airport and the guy that picked us up to drive
us back to Burbank, he was from Africa. I think
he was from Kenya. And I said to him, I said, hey,
how did people in Kenya? Because he just he was
fresh from Africa, been here for two weeks. I said,
how did people in Kenya? How'd you guys handle the pandemic?
(14:04):
And he says, oh, I'll tell you about it. He says,
we didn't. We didn't wear any masks, we didn't wear
any gloves, nobody got any shots, we didn't close any
score schools, we didn't close any businesses, and everybody went
on their daily life.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I said, oh, how'd you do with deaths?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
He said, we had I think one or two in
the entire country. We panicked in this country, and it
cost a lot of people lives because you know, when
you panicked like that and then you get COVID, it
affects you because you think you're going to die and
you're not.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
For the most part, well, there there were a million
people that did die.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Yeah, but all count Okay.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But the people that died, they all had four or
five things working.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You know, a lot of overweight, a.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Lot of you know, preconditions, a lot of lung problems,
a lot of you know, a lot of bodies already
breaking down. For healthy people when they got COVID, they
had a very easy time with it for the most part.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Yeah, the society to treat a three hundred pounds eighty
year old the saying you do a seven year old
as not exactly the way to go. And that was
our mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And to close the schools much political correctly, well, well,
I will never forgive the the county and the city
for doing for closing the schools.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I will never forgive them for them ever.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
Olhough the whole country did that too. Wasn't just just
here I don't live with the whole problem was the
problem was that we kept them closed longer understandable maybe
the first couple of weeks as you try to figure
out what it is. Right, once we knew what it was,
and the teachers unions were being obstinate that they wouldn't
come back, and in other areas where teachers unions weren't
(15:42):
being like that, the kids did go back. That was unexcusable.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, it really affected a lot of kids in a
very negative way.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
All right, Happy New Year, buddy. On a happy note.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know we're doing that now.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
You guys are doing the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Yeah, it's the first time that Fox has done the
parade in thirty years, so we're really excited to be
to be hosting it. Christine Devine and myself are going
to be hosting it from eight am to ten am,
commercial free, and then we're going to repeat it two
or three times after that for all the people that
are out partying tonight and are hungover and don't wake
up at eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Everybody version of it for you about.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
It a little bit, Yeah, I mean I remember going
to the parade as a kid and looking up at
the stands and looking up at Bob you Banks and
Stephanie Edwards and looking up and all that and thinking, man,
it would be so cool one day to be able
to do that, and as a socow kid to be
able to actually do it tomorrow is really really exciting
and kind of surreal for me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
They got the perfect guy to do it, right, guys,
not going to make fun of anybody. He's not going
to you know, there's no uh, you know, you're not
going to swear, You're not going to drink, you're not
going to smoke.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
You're just going to say, hey, those floats are great.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Are you suggesting that you would make fun of people
and then swear if you were doing it. I kind
of want to watch your version of the parade.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
But you've got to be very careful on what you
say and what you don't right if you want to
do it again.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, it's probably not that not the show to
do that, as I think like the drunk uncle version
of the rose Bridge. Yeah, look at that one sucks.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Kroko that is, that's right. I'd like to see that
sad version. So take us behind the scenes. Here. Are
you staying there overnight to make sure you're there on time?
Speaker 5 (17:29):
I'm not, but I'm probably getting off the around three
thirty in the morning or show. I don't know if
I'm going to be able to sleep, you know, I'm
like you, like we work nights, so I usually go
to bed around one o'clock in the morning. So the
idea that all of a sudden, I'm going to fall
asleep at like seven thirty is kind of hard to
hard to imagine. I may not get a lot of sleep,
but that's okay. Again, take a nap afterwards. But it's
(17:51):
it should be yeah, it should be really cool. I
mean we went out there a few different times to
check them out in person and talk to some of
the people behind it as part of the preparation and
in it really is extraordinary to see them and to
smell them. I mean, the you know, a lot of
them have an average fifty thousand flowers per float. I mean,
it's just incredible to see the detail up close of
(18:14):
all of them. Have you have you been out there?
Have you done all that?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Not even close?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Okay, have you even thought about it?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
But Alex Michaels is with us a Channel eleven tomorrow
at eight a m. Do they give you a bunch
of stuff to read and to study up on what
to say?
Speaker 4 (18:29):
About these floats.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Yeah, yeah, I've got a whole binder of that, and
then I've been doing some of my own research on
it as well, and just why a lot of people
know if they don't want to come out there tomorrow,
they may want to bring their families out for three
days afterwards Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. You can come check
out the floats with your families. Oh. I think it's
like twenty bucks or so, but you can come look
(18:52):
at all of them up close in person and smell
it and see the detail and all that. And for
people that have kids that are listening to it, it could
be a really cool for a family thing on one
of these days. And there isn't that much going on
a lot of people have the day off.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
And where are they going to park you? Where are
you going to be?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
We're right there? I think it's Orange Grove And what
is it?
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Colorado?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Right there? That's yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
And how did they decide to use you?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I mean, Fox got the go ahead to you know,
that's very tough to get the broadcast rights to that parade.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
How'd they pick you?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I don't know, but I'm grateful that they that they did.
I mean We're going to be the only local anchor
team doing it. Some of the other national networks have
their people, and k t LA, you know, hires some
people that just do it once a year who are
great Mark Steinis and Lisa Gibbons, but will be the
only sort of regular local anchor team doing it with
a very LA focused which which I think is very cool.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Buddy.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I'll be watching you, maybe not on the first round
or the second round, but I'll be watching you maybe
on the third round.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
The third round with the football games about the beginning,
exactly right.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I think it's great. Your parents must be on the moon.
I mean, you know, for your parents to take you
that parade and then you're broadcasting it's a big deal.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I know, it was cool. We were reflecting on what
it was like to go there as a kid and
all of that. So it's I mean, it's such an
iconic part of southern California. I think on average fifty
million people watch it from around the world, in like
two hundred countries. So it's something that the whole world
wakes up on New Year's Day and they see us.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Yeah, and the weather's going to be spectacular.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
It always is, right, I mean, I think it's rained
like once or twice in over one hundred years on
January first. I mean, there's something about that roast brain.
That's why they started it in eighteen ninety was to
show the world what a great climate Pasadena had as
a way to try to attract people to come move there,
and year after year the weather cooperates. Now.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Conversely, can you imagine being in Times Square right now
where it's pouring and you're in these little like you know,
ten by ten cubes and you can't go to the bathroom.
You have to be in your cube at three o'clock
and you don't get out of there till one am.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I saw a reporter that I know who was in
there who said that literally people are wearing adult diapers
going in there and pitching their pants and then standing
in it. Oh yeah, I think, like many cases, the
West Coast is the best coast. I think we've got
the better end of the deal on this one.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Yeah, I think you're right, buddy. I'll let you get
to sleep.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
We're going to promote the hell out of it all
night and on social media. That's a really big deal
that you're doing that. And I hope you and Christine
have a drific broadcast. Bub and happy news.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Thank you very much, Happy new Year, Happy New Year.
Thank you to you and and the entire crew for
all your support. We love you guys so much. And
happy new Year.
Speaker 4 (21:44):

for the parade.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
It's a big deal. Belly o.
Speaker 6 (22:10):

Speaker 4 (22:11):
I agree, Yeah, huge.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
Huge, quite the honor.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
That's it.
Speaker 14 (22:19):
You're listening to Tim conwayjun you're on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I would play Crazy Taxi and then I would my
buddy would would come home because I was I was uh.
I was living in Sherman Oaks, a friend of mine,
and he'd come home.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I go.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
He got off work early? Does he work all night?
It's not six am? I wait?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I've been playing since eleven pm. Yeah, addicted to it.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
We used to hear at KFI when I worked here
in the overnights, we used to bring in game systems
because before we played Coast to Coast we would do
best of us from the day prior, so all the
board ups had edited them out and then we had
to put them all together and then we ran them
in the overnight. And I was the board up back then,
and we used to bring in game system It was
about three or four of us and including like Tony Sorrentino,
(23:11):
he brought in his system. Maybe we would play Crazy
Taxi and all those other games that were around at
that time.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, Crazy the night Crazy Taxi was the best. Yeah
you could get you know, you take.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
That car into the water. He just cruise underwater for
half hour.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Some of the fighting games, it's like Soul Caliber was
just really cool and graphic and awesome and just yeah
all night long.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And when you got into a groove with Crazy tax
you had like at the end of the night, you
had one really good run.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
We got a bunch of people, picked a bunch of
people up, got a bunch of points, didn't crash, didn't
injure anybody, and man, that was a time to hit
the hay and it was hard to put it down.
It was it was addicting and and you know, and
when I it wasn't just once where I played from
eleven pm till six am, like once a week.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
I just couldn't put it down. It was a drug
and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I loved it Crazy Taxi if they still have it
or not, they still have it stuff?
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Fooh they still have Crazy. I'm sure you can download it.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
But yeah, but people, you know, but the best thing
is to have the console, the one that they had
the arcade because they had that.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The gas pedal was the foot Oh I didn't know
they had the Arcade one. Yeah, oh, I didn't know
that fun is one. Oh man, I got to look
into that.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's wild. I enjoyed them. I knew I'd be addicted.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I had to get rid of it because I would
just I'd still be doing it right now, you know,
I'm the stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Most of them were one of those ones that had
the chair that was already attached to it. You know,
you didn't stand up and play it, you Oh right, yeah,
the arcade games.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah, I gotta I gotta find out one of those.
That's a cool deal cockpit seated had.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I my.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
We live in a small town, Burbank, I consider a
small town.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
And here's a perfect example of it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
My daughter has just opened up a bank account and
they kept her ATM card.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It was, you know, potential fraud or something, or she
missed her I.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Don't know something happened.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
But the bank at you meet, Federal Credit Union, And
so I went in there today and I tell you,
I don't know why people go to banks. I don't
know why everybody doesn't go to a credit union. But
this you me with this woman helped us out.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Judy.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
She has dinner every night with her one hundred and
four year old mother, Ruth Ruth. Every night, every single night,
she has dinner with her mom, who's one hundred and
four laughing at Jimmy Carter for not making it past
one hundred, laughing, wow, one hundred and four. And she
(25:45):
went to this this woman who's the vice president of
you mean, Federal Credit Union. She went to the exact
same school as my daughter went to the exact same
schools elementary, junior high, or maybe they went to a
different junior high and then high school. And it's it's
great living in a small town yet being in a
big town, you know, having the Kings, Lakers, Dodgers, Rams,
(26:08):
but living in a small town. And if you have
that in Lacayata, I think, you know, for the most part,
Seami Valley is a small town, has that small town feel,
people living out there for generations. Valencia, Santa Clarita, that's
another one. Seal Beach down in Orange County, another small town.
But living in a small town in southern California is
(26:30):
really a good idea. You know, you get all the
benefits of the weather and all the benefits of living
around community where people from generation after generation after generation
grow up and you stay and you develop you know,
deep roots in in a in a city that means
a lot to people. And you know, uh and and
(26:53):
I and when I I know that this. You know,
Judy Sherman is is the bank you know, vice president
over there, and she's been in Burbank for sixty five
seventy years, And I don't think there's any equivalent to that.
So if you live in a small town, maybe it's
not Burbank, but live in a small town in southern California,
don't move.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Don't move. Stick it out.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Stay in the small town, and your kids will grow
up knowing other people's kids. They'll have kids, and that's
how you get generational friends and generational businesses. They stay
and you know, you recognize somebody, and you develop friendships
for life and develop generational friendships. So if you're in
(27:38):
a if you're in southern California and you're not happy
with your area because you live in LA and it's dangerous,
there's people shooting each other all the time, go find
a small town somewhere in southern California.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Maybe you're thinking about it. Do it.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You'll never regret it, never ever will regret it. All right,
let's have it. There was a story about the Mega millions.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Here.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Let's see if I can find this thing, the Mega Millions.
This guy wants to stay anonymous. The guy won in
California up in Cottonwood.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
It wasn't you, It wasn't me.
Speaker 15 (28:11):
So I'm gonna pause there for the audible grows. But
we do have a Mega Million's winner. That single winning
ticket that matched all of those six numbers was sold
at a northern California gas station.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Now, those life changing numbers.
Speaker 15 (28:24):
They're right there, three, seven, thirty seven, forty nine fifty
five and that power magic number there six. Now, if
you're wondering who that lucky winner is, it won't be
too long before we find out California is one of
those states that does not allow for anonymity of lottery winner.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, we shoved this guy right in front of the
cameras so they can ruin his life.
Speaker 15 (28:43):
They will also get this five winning tickets sold that
matched five of the numbers to win that second tier prize.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Not a bad consolation.
Speaker 15 (28:51):
The jackpot winner can go with either that one time
lump sum payment of five hundred and forty nine point
seven million, or go with the annuity option of one
immediate payment followed by twenty nine annual payments. Now this
jackpot standing as the fifth largest in Mega Million's history.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Still shy, You know, Krozier, You're always the guy that
say take the you take the lump sum, right?
Speaker 4 (29:13):
No? No, you you don't. You take the annuities. Yes, absolutely,
really far more money.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Wow, I don't know, but see, you could run into
a problem like back in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen in
the state of Illinois, they ran out of money. They
ran out of lottery money, they spent an.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Other crap and so you're running the risk. Take them
to court, that's a contract.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
No, they took him to court and they eventually won,
but it was a you know, a lot of lawyers involved.
It was a pain in the ants. Just got to
take it all. Yeah, I don't know. I think you
take the If it was five hundred and fifty million,
I'd take the lump sum you can.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
You can typically transfer your lottery winnings to you know,
inherit or transfer to winter beneficiaries and heirs. Oh all right,
so there's a reason to do it as well. We're
not going to spend as much money unless you're really dumb.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Yeah, you're not going to blow through it.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I'd love to have that problem though, deciding on whether
it take twenty nine payments or one plump sum or like.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
What's his face and buy the what he bought like
an eighty million dollar house?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Well yeah, yeah, right, yeah, Castro. Yeah, he started buying
up real estate. Yeah, hey, guys, bought his mom and
dad a house. You bought a beach house or Hollywood
Hill's house. Yeah, hills get all these cars guys living large. Yeah,
lottery one point two billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
What do you want to buy with one point two
billion that you couldn't buy with one hundred million?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Honest to god, I think the lottery would ruin my life.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
I really do. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
They've been a couple of movies about of documentaries of
people that how they've gone broken. Some people have actually
won more than once and gone broke both.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Times, which is yeah, that's why there's that show The
lottery ruined my life.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I think it would ruin my life instantly, because I
would think everybody that talked to me would just want,
you know, want some change.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
They'd want to package. Why you just leave the country
by another one?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yeah, Like like when somebody said hi to me, I
would be okay, you want to package how much?
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Yeah, I'll give you an envelope?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Here.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
There you go. Is that enough? Is that enough for you?
Is that enough?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I think it would ruin a lot of your friendships
because every time a guy would call you just to
say hi, you're like, hey, how you doing? Like, well,
I just got to I just got from back from
Switzerland on my plane.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
What's going on with you? How's your Toyota? Is it
still running?
Speaker 3 (31:23):
That's why you never answer the phone again. If you
would always have to help everybody out, ye calls you up. Hey,
my I'd call you last week, but my cell phone
was up. Okay, well I'll send you a check. Where
do I go T Mobile?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
What's your acount number? And then you know, all of
a sudden, you become a banker. You know, that's all
your whole life. I think it would ruin my life.
I really do, because I don't spend that much money.
You know, I go to Target, I got Walmart, and
I don't really buy much. The only thing, the only
problem I have is that I really enjoy the racetrack.
So if I if I made five hundred and fifty
million dollars, I just dumped my beds.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
I blow it all at the racetrack.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Five and fifty milis all of it just And then
people call me, hey, I kind of borrow fifty ground.
I know, I went through it all. Wait minute, you
went through five hundred and fifty million dollars in a month. Yeah,
I got photoed out and a lot of races didn't
work out. Yeah, a lot of people I bet lie
and say they don't have any more money. They spent
it all because it would ruin a lot, It would
ruin my life. It would help Stepfu Stephu should be
(32:21):
a king turned into a land baron.
Speaker 14 (32:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Forty our New Year's Security for New York City. They
don't f around, they do not joke around on New
Year's Eve. Everybody gets the treatment.
Speaker 16 (32:42):
We are, of course, on the verge of a brand
new year people, and it is already twenty twenty five.
On the other side of the world, places like Auckland,
New Zealand have already kicked off the celebrations and here
in Times Square, huge crowds are expected to watch the
ball drop at midnight, despite some not so nice weather
in the forecast.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, it's pouring. People are soaked. They've been there since
three o'clock in the afternoon. They're soaked to the bone.
They're going to be tired, they're going to be sick,
and they're not going to have any fun and they're
going to be exhausted for a week for what they
could have sat home and just looked at the TV.
Speaker 16 (33:20):
And just like every year, this event is a major
test for law enforcement. They are working hard to keep
everybody safe. Nicki Batiste got an inside look at those preparations,
and she is down in Times Square. Good morning, Niki,
my friend.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
You know, I used to work for Dick Clark. I
worked for Dick Clark for I don't know, maybe two
and a half years or so. And I was in
New York when they're doing the New Year's Rocket Eve
and I called my buddy there, Larry, and he was
there with the whole crew, you know, Dick Clark was there.
And I said, Hey, do you guys need an extra
(33:54):
pa And he goes, oh, yeah, He goes, are you
in La New York? I said yeah. He goes, oh,
we don't have to put you up in a hotel. And
I think, yeah, we'll you come work for us for
two days. We'd love it. And so I worked the
New Year's Rocket Eve there for two days and it's
pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, it was a fun job.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
My job was to get in a van and drive
people back and forth to hotels or the airport or
you know, the base camp and all that crap. And
I used to drive. Uh so I'd just drive a van,
you know, back and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 6 (34:22):
Who are some of the celebs you grew?
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I didn't get any celebrities. I got a crew, and
I enjoyed them. Belly, I know you're sort of a
snob and you'll need to you know, Ira Fistelle and
and you know, I have Jackie Lacey and all your
other celebrity friends you hang out with. But I was
just driving, you know, cameraman and sound guys nice to
Yeah they were nice too, Yeah they were.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
There were beautiful people.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So I would drive a van and I worked for
you know, two days or so, and I remember coming
back to the actual set and I had cameramen and
sound guys and you know, lighting guys, make up women,
wardrobe people, and I dropped him all off, and then
I had to sit in the van and wait for
(35:07):
the van to fill up again. And there was a
beautiful parking spot right in front of where I had
to be, and typically I would have to double park,
and I would have to sit there in the van
and the cops would come up and harass you and
say you got to move, and then I have to
drive around the block. And I missed a couple of people,
and I was paying the ants so there was a
parking spot, and I was a parking spot right there,
(35:27):
and there was a homeless guy. He was sitting on
the curb, laying down and his feet were in the street.
So I got out and I say, hey, buddy, I said,
can you move out of the street so I can
park here? And he's like, nah, yeah, he can't bargere.
I said, buddy, come on, let me let me let
me park there. And he's like, no, you're not gonna
You can't park here. He's laying in the street so
(35:48):
I can't pull the van in. And I said, I said, buddy,
come on, I'll give you twenty dollars if I could
just park here.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
No, I don't.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I don't know you're twenty dollars. And so I went
to grab him to move him, which I probably should
probably shouldn't have done him what. I just needed to
move him.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
I'm gonna move him around.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
I just need to move his he could stay on
the sidewik.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I just needed to move his feet out of the street,
like literally, I picked up his feet to move him
out of the street, and he jumped up, flipped out
a badge and said, I'm an undercover.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Off I did not see this coming out.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Yeah, you touched me or get anywhere near me again,
you'll spend the.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Next month in jail. Wow, I loaded up my pants.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
I was only twenty at the time, maybe twenty one,
And I never will ever forget that.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
Why wouldn't he move and let you like, why not
get up on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Because they were gonna They're gonna bring in an undercover
car there.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
He was an undercover cop, got it.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
And they're bringing in there. They're working on a big
deal there.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
And this idiot who works for Dick Clark Productions was
going to move him.
Speaker 6 (37:08):
That's a great story.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Great story story.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
You should tell the story about the celebrity that you
left at the Hollywood Bowl when she.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Asked her that was Loretta's wit from Mash I got.
And she'll still remember this because she was really really
angry with me, but I picked her up. She lives
up in the Hollywood Hill as I can tell you where,
and I drove over to the Hollywood Bowl and she's
with another couple. She was with her husband and there
(37:38):
was another couple there. And I drove to the Hollywood
Bowl and I got there early and I got a
parking spot, and she says, hey, she goes. You know,
I know it's a nightmare after the concert. Can you
stay right here? You know, I'll pay for the parking
spot if you stay right here. I said, yeah, sure,
and so she laughed. I got bored in about I
(37:58):
don't know, five minutes, and I split because I had
three hours to kill. I was gonna sit at home,
you know, I was gonna sit there for three hours.
So I drove home. I think I was playing crazy
taxi for a couple hours, and then drove back and
they wouldn't let me back in that parking lot.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Sai, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I'm here to pick up a celebrity, and they said,
we don't care what celebrity is. You're not getting back
in the parking lot because people are already starting to
come out. And so this was before cell phones. I
didn't have any way to contact or anything. And I
was calling her manager and her manager picked up. He's like,
why aren't you there? She just called me and I'm like,
I'm on the street, but I'm a block away. And
(38:36):
she ended up taking a cab home, and she was
really really upset.
Speaker 6 (38:43):
Maybe you should have stayed there, you think.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
I should have. Yeah, I had hot lived school of him.
I know what was in the car.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
She was very nice on the way there until I
screwed up and I and I felt like.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
I I screwed up. I angered the hell out of her.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
We had her on this show show though a few
years ago.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Yeah, I don't remember if I asked her about Did
I ask her about it? Or did you remember it?
Speaker 6 (39:05):
I remember that I think you did, and I think
it triggered her a little bit.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
I don't remember who the concert was, but I could
probably look it up because there was logs of all that,
you know, all my drives, hot lips ful of hen.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Yeah, the only guy in LA that really pissed her
off me My real live New Year's Eve.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
