It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The guy that was barricaded for the better part of
an hour, actually a little over an hour, has given up.
Nobody got hurt, nobody got killed. Very successful. All right, extradition.
They are pulled onto this apartment and extricated him. He's
now off to speed wrapping somewhere and a local jail. Questions,
(00:30):
a lot of questions he's got to answer. Now, that's
the bumber part when you get arrested. You know, you
think you just go to jail and sit there and
you get a sandwich and cool your heels. No detective
comes in and you've got lots of questions answered, lots
of them, and that's not You're not in the mood
for him at that point. All Right, we got Michael
Monks with us here. Michael Monks, how you Bob, Hey,
(00:53):
good afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm doing well. Harre you Tim good hey. We So
we got a good two stories here.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
One is Costco is going to open up a brand
new store and they decide to put like eight million
apartments above it.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, this is a pretty interesting project. That's gotten a
little bit of national attention from folks who pay attention
to this sort of thing, you know, development and architecture
and revitalization. This is a pretty significant project, certainly significant
enough to draw the mayor and accountswoman a state assembly
member out to the groundbreaking this morning in South LA.
They're at Coliseum and Lombrea where they're going to transform
(01:27):
an old hospital into this new Costco. Now, I'm sure
you've been to Costco right town. Sure, yeah, I love it.
Buy a lot of pants there, you know what, I'm
wearing Costco pants right now.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It's shocking that they have really good pants.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
They have great pants, But I can't find Costco pants anymore.
You can't find Krookland pants anymore because now it's all
that you know, it's Levi Strauss has come in and
destroyed my my, you know stack.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Of pants that used to be made by Karkland.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Well, they're very friendly at Costco, so I'm sure you
can file a complaint, no Interhaps they'll get to the
bottom of that and get you some proper pants. But
in the meantime, well maybe by the time this one opens,
which we don't know exactly when they broke ground today.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Timeline unclear.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
But you know, this is not going to look like
the Costco you go to around here, which usually has
like a sprawling parking lot and other maybe big box
stores nearby. This is going to look like an urban
neighborhood right up against the street, by the sidewalk where
you would walk.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
In and then upstairs.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Eight hundred apartment units, two hundred of WISH are classified
as affordable for income restricted tenants. And that is key
because this project was fast tracked due to a new
state law that emphasizes projects that have that component.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, now this is actually it's a little bit south
of Obama Boulevard for people that don't know the area.
It's also south of Expedition as well, and it's not
too far, you know from downtown Los Angeles. You know,
it's more Jefferson Park area. But there's a I think
one of the one of the light rails comes right
(03:02):
down Exposition and so this this is going to be
convenient for a lot of people. But that area right there,
there's I think there's a huge apartment complex in that area,
and I don't know where they're gonna put this where
the Ralphs is or the CJS. I don't know where
they're going to get this property or are they going
to take down a couple apartment buildings.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well, you know, I listen to you all the time,
and the references you make have helped me learn a
lot about LA. You know, you are so knowledgeable about
the map and where things are, especially like when when
there's a chase on the highway.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You're good.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You know, fifty years of driving limousine and driving around,
you know you noticed some things.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But I are not.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Bad for a kid from Bowling green O high That's right,
That's exactly right. It's good stuff. Because you mentioned CJS
just now, and that's right across the street from this.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's some really intense local knowledge.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Heather Hut, the council member, called it out specifically because
she says that this is a significant boon to those
existing businesses because Costco was a destination. It will bring
people who would not typically go to this neighborhood to
that neighborhood. And as you noted with the with the
exhibition exposition line, it could be shooting it for the
residents downtown to get to a Costco.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But see CJ's is a local hotspot there, and so
are they gonna take down Dollar Tree? Are they gonna
use the parking lot of cross from CJS?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
No, this is an old hospital that's that's been abandoned
for some time. I think it was called Village View,
and it looked like it had been empty for quite
some time, pretty overgrown, boarded up and that sort of thing.
Mostly one level but a long building. So they're tearing
that down and it's got some parking already there that
will be utilized. The site itself is big enough for this,
(04:41):
Oh it is, okay, all right, So this is gonna
be a great you know, this is gonna be great
for that community.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, right now, I don't know where the closest
Costco is, but I've been. It's a thirty minute ride.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, you know, it was a short trip for me
from the downtown base to get there, and I've gone
to the Costco in Glendale, so this one would certainly
be close.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, So they're going to start this relatively soon. They
fast tracked it because now, if you're putting in any
kind of affordable housing in California, you don't need you know,
local county and city approval for things.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You just the state just gives you the okay exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And key to note, even though there were public officials there,
this isn't one of those projects like we see so
much of lately that has public dollars connected to it.
This is fully privately financed.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Oh excellent, okay, all right, So we have that going on.
It's right a coliseum and Librea, which is just south
of the of the ten freeway there off Exposition. I
think you get off at Libray and just go south
you run into it. That's gonna be a couple of
years though it's gonna be here for the Olympics, but
they're not expected to be done with that before twenty six.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, you know, it's a big project, so it will
take a while. And they only just broke ground today.
I will see the Carpenter's Union that was very present
there today was also very loud and enthusiastic about it.
So they're going to work hard on it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Oh excellent, okay. Now the other story that you're working on,
you're you're doing dual stories today is the the mosquitoes
that are gonna kill everybody.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
If it's not one thing, it's another time it comes,
it comes to health man, that's just uh.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know, we hear about West Nile every year.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know, they put out an alert maybe that that
West Nile has popped up, and just be on the
lookout for that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That wasn't the case. Twenty five years ago. You didn't
hear about West Nile.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And then about twenty years ago we started to hear
about it and hear about it every year since. And
this they fear, they being the La County Health Department,
could possibly turn into that sort of annual thing, but
they hope not. This is called den gay. I gotta
be careful with my pronunciation. I've been called out by
the editors. I guess my Kentucky accent came out.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What did you How did you did you pronounce it before?
Den gay gay? Den gay?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You know, like the word write, a pen, a pen
that you write with, and a pen that you might
put into me.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Those are the same words.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
What you should tell Chris is go f himself the
things they've put us through. Man, this is a this
is Ally's said, cause he's walking around the hallway and
you saw me do that. So I'm being very careful
to say den gay and that I write with a
pen and then I hang out.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
In the den so I don't get fired to go
back to Kentucky. We don't want that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
But anyway, den gay is it doesn't sound like it's
a very serious illness, but it could turn into one.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, And really.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
They had a press conference about it to day, and
you think, oh, man, this must be serious. But there's
three confirmed cases and that's serious enough for them to
call all the media out and say this is what's
going on. And all of them have been found in
Baldwin Park there in the San Gabriel Valley. So what
they're concerned about is that these three particular cases originated
in La County.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Typically, when they.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Have cases of dengay that show up in La it's
because somebody went overseas or went out of the country
and was impacted by it there and brought it back.
This time, folks are being bitten by mosquitoes that carry
this and catching it here. And what they think has
happened is some folks out of the country got it,
came back, got bit by a mosquito, that mosquito was infected,
(08:06):
and then passed it on to somebody in Baldwin Park.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Okay, Now we're not talking about the Baldwin Park that's
in Los Angeles. We're talking about the Baldwin Park that's
off the six oh five and the ten.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The hub of the San Gabriel Valley they call them some.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yes, Okay, because there is a local Baldwin Park, that's
not what we're talking about. It's just south of the
Santa Fe Dam where that bridge fire started on the
six oh five, the two tents, between the ten and
the two tents, that's.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Where these mosquitoes are at lists Again, well, but.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Because I know Krozer lives out in that area, not
quite that area, but that's a little bit west to you. Yeah,
but that that really is a big area for KFI listeners.
The whole Rosemead Monterey Park, you know, Puente Hills is
out there, and that's you know, Irwin Dale. That's a
big a lot of listeners to of KFI out there.
So they should be warned that this deng gay dungay
(08:56):
du guay dengay, the lay.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Fever could wipe mouth sure, because it mostly presents flu
like so you know, you get a fever, you just
feel pretty sick, but you'll have some bone pain maybe
some pain behind your eyes, and the problem is there
there is a more severe version of it. Especially if
you're hit a second time, you're more prone to severe problems.
(09:21):
She could be like organ failure. So this is one
that you don't want to get. So the best thing
they say to do right now is first be aware
that this is happening in the community, and to do
your best to stay away from mosquitos where your insect repellent,
and check around your property where you have standing water.
They made a point today, the health officials did just say, look,
a bottle cap of water attracts a mosquito.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So if you've got anything.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Out that might have collected a little water, I hear,
you know, some rain in the forecast, possibly at.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Some point in the coming days. Actually, you know, get
rid of it, buddy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I really appreciate coming on. We'll see at Costco. You
got it there, goel Dangay, all right, ding don Okay.
This let me explain again. This is not Baldwin Hills
they're talking about. This is Baldwin Park. I know a
lot of people are freaking out that it's Baldwin Hills.
It's not Baldwin Hills. Is a big separate community Baldwin Vista,
(10:12):
Baldwin Hills.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
This is not that.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
This is Baldwin Park Way off near the six oh
five between the ten and the two ten Freeway. So
if you live in Baldwin Hills, you're clean. You're clean.
Near Culver City now you're fine. You're fine.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We've got other news going on. We had Michael Monks
on talking about that Costco. That Costco that they're gonna
build is in Baldwin Park Baldwin Hills is.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Where they have the mosquitos.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's two different areas and so a lot of people
confuse those two.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Don't dunay, don't you know.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
But there are a lot of people that are that
are against this Costco out there. You know, they don't
want eight hundred apartments. If you've ever been in that
area of Exposition Obama Boulevard and Librea, it is one
of the most the busiest most traffic areas in Los
Angeles period. You know, if you ever go to the
Lax from the Valley and you take Librea and when
(11:19):
you drive through that area, it is you always it
always takes you twenty twenty five minutes to get through
that area. I don't know how they're gonna put eight
hundred new apartments in that area and have the.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Traffic go down. That's impossible.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
That's that's probably one of the biggest complaints I've seen
from people that have that are complaining about it. It's like,
oh my god, yeah, what we need more traffic.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, and it's going to be you know, you know, look,
it's nice to have a Costco around.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The nearest Costco I think to that area right now
is probably out in I don't know, it looks like
it's in Century Boulevard, and so one of the original
ones on Century Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That's when it was called Price Club. And yeah, Costco
is Price Club. Yeah, you used to be called Price Club.
That's why I never really don't them.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, I think that's true. I hope it is, because
I just said it on the air, but.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
It may not because.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I remember the only one when it first opened, the
only one that was available in the entire city of
Los Angeles, was the one out near Hollywood Park. It
was literally across the street from Hollywood Park, and we
used to drive from the valley to go to that,
to that Costco or.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That in the Price Club?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Do you know where the original Price Club was opened?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Great? Whip around, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Let's do a let's do a an angel powered whip
around here? All right, angel powered whip around all years?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Sorry, they're not as easy as they as they as
they sound, aren't they?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
No, they're not. They're not highly skillful listeners.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Take it for granted that I could quarterback these things
and then when they hand off the ball?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Okay, in where was the original Price Club?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
What city? What did it open in?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Krozer, uh Moor Park?
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Who else is in there?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Ye? Let's say Dallas, any.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Other I can't see.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Who's that? Matt's there?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Matt?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
What about you?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Matt?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I'll say Baldwin Park, just to be topical, bald Park.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Actually, we just did a story of there's never been
a Costco within thirty miles?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Is that everybody that's just gonna screw it? All right?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Let me take a guess here, I'm gonna say that
the original Price Club. God, I want to say, Can
I say just a county? Maybe Orange County?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Okay, Well, nobody got the answer why. But as far
as location is concerned, Timmy, you your answer is the closest.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Oh okay, where is it in San Diego?
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Really? Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
That's great knowledge, great great initial whip around by Angel Martinez,
an Angel powered whip around.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's kind of cool San Diego, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
But I remember driving with my mom or my dad
from the San Fernando Valley to Hollywood Park, and it
always made my dad crazy that we were driving all
the way to Hollywood Park.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And we weren't going to the races.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We're going to the Price Club to get you a
cart full of crap and take it back to the valley.
But the only time we ever went to Price Club
was when my mom and dad were having a party
and we'd buy you know, one hundred hamburgers or fifty
hot dogs, or a whole tray of lasagna or whatever
it was, maybe those chickens. But it was a big
(15:00):
event that when we went there. I mean like we
carved out a Saturday or a Sunday to drive down
to Inglewood to go to Price Club and then drive home.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
It was an all day event. You know.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It was an hour to get there and we spent
an hour, maybe an hour and a half there, you know,
because it was it was a cool, big warehouse thing.
We've never seen anything like that before. There was not
a there wasn't a singles store in Los Angeles or
in California that we've ever seen like that before. There
was no Walmart, there was none of these big bless
you stephush. There was none of these big, huge, you know,
(15:33):
warehouse stores. They didn't exist. There was no home Depot,
There was no you know, Lows or Walmart or Target.
The first one that we knew of it. We had
to be a member. And back then, I remember it
was fifteen dollars a year to be a member of
Price Club. I remember for some reason that that number
stuck out as high by the way. But the closest
(15:53):
thing to that, the closest thing to go into Price
Club was a store called Gemco.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I don't know if anybody anybody here remember Jemco. I
remember the name. Never been in one. Yeah, there was
one in Pasadena, the Gemco in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's a Target now off of got to get always
get these streets messed up. I think it's Corbyn or
it's you know when Netca, it's whatever that street is
where that target is in Woodland Hills right now used
to be a gem Co and we used to go
with my mom, and my mom had a membership and
I think that was like ten dollars a year. And
(16:28):
I remember one day my mom went to Gemco and
you had to show your membership card to get in,
and she left it at home. And as we were
walking towards Gemco, I said to my brother Pat, I go, Pat,
this is going to blow up because the red Bird
doesn't have her card. The big Mac is going to
(16:48):
throw an s fit when they stop her at the door.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And man did she deliver? Man did she put on
a show.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I don't think the cops were called, but I know
security got involved and we were x nate.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
We were tossed. We were not allowed in that building. Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, I don't know if my mom ever went back.
She took it personally and did a lot of swearing.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Did they post her picture up at the front door
to not allow this person in?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, she didn't.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And look, the Gemco had to be really really pissed
because my mom spent a lot of money there to
throw out a family that spent way too much money
at Gemco that says something about Big Mac, the Big
Mac attack. And I remember walking towards that store to
my brother Jamie and Pat go we're about to see
a show here, kids, this one. The Redbird's not going
(17:39):
home to get that card, not going home. There's going
to be a blow up here like you haven't seen
in a long time. And it started immediately we walked in.
She goes right on my card. Can I get a
you know, a temporary card? We don't do that. You're
doing that and then boom the tornado hit. Just yelling
and swearing and pointing. The whole day was grazy. I
(18:03):
wish I wish they had video back then. Man slowly
backing up Mom tearing out of the parking lot, you know,
spinning the tires as he left the parking lot in
our old station wagon.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You know the sons, that mother effort. You know, you
just swear.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demand from kf
I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Dave Coons chiming in the car guy from ABC. He
said that that gem Co membership was only a dollar. Okay, Well,
I think we had I don't know what our membership was,
but if it was a dollar makes that story even
crazier that she didn't pay the extra dollar for a
new membership card. But that's not how Big Mac rolled.
(18:48):
That's not how the Redbird rolled.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
And it was.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
On Ventura and De Soto, that's right, Yeah, Venturn and
De Soto. And I just remembered during the break that
that gem Co visit was right around Christmas because there's
a lot of Christmas decorations in Gemco. You had the
trees and the you know, the Santa Claus and the ornaments,
the gifts, all that stuff. And we went to Saint Mels,
(19:15):
which is the church that I was baptized at, and
I had my I think my first my my communion
was down the road a bit because we got kicked
out of Saint Mels. But I had my first well
that's why confession there and I had communion there, and
I was baptized there at Saint Mels, which is directly
across the street from Jemco. I mean you literally can
(19:38):
walk across the street out of the church. Is still there,
I think it is, and you would be in the
Gemco parking lot. So it was a Sunday right around
Christmas and for an hour and fifteen minutes, because my
mom liked to go to the late Mass because there
was a choir and she sang that's right, that's right loud.
(19:59):
She practiced loud at home to yes sir, yes sir,
it's like you lived with us, and saying with the choir,
I believe, try it out for the choir. And that's
another story that didn't go in her direction, but would
sing loudly in church. And then when you go to church,
if you've ever been a Catholic Mass for an hour
(20:22):
to an hour and fifteen minutes, the priest tells you
how to treat other people. That's all church is.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
They do it in different ways, they do it in
different tones, they do it in different languages. But when
you go to Catholic church for one hour, they tell
you how to treat other people. Be kind, donate your time, volunteer,
be you know, love other people, love other you know
(20:51):
religions and races, Be supportive of one another. You know,
no violence, that's all it is. It's just tell people
how to behave Seven minutes after that mass was over,
Big Mac blew up at gem Coo. We drove out
of Saint Mel's parking lot, didn't make a turn at
(21:11):
that point, you could drive out and drive straight into
gem Come didn't make a turn and Cabo just a crazy,
crazy day. But that was very predictable, very predictable, and
my dad stopped going on those trips because he knew
that you know, you're you're you have a stick of
(21:33):
dynamite in the driver's seat and it could always blow.
And when the redbird blew, people noticed.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
People noticed. So we got kicked out.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Of Saint Mel's I and you know, tossed out. And
my dad was, you know they call us. I'm sure
you people know what it is.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Tithing. You know what that is, croz.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
You give ten percent of your salary to the church, right,
and my dad was big on that, you know, he
always gave ten percent of his salary. So how pissed
off were the priests and the nuns to kick a
family of six out who've all been confirmed and baptized
and had their first confession and went to Sunday School
CCD and donated ten percent of his salary. And he's
(22:19):
making good money to that church, they said, out out
because my mom was a very very strict person where
life began. Life began at conception, and if a priest
he was was one percent off that if he wasn't
due north, if he was one percent off that she
(22:40):
confronted him. And she confronted the priest after a mass
because he said something about, you know, forgiving people for abortion,
or you know, in certain circumstances it is, you know,
completely understandable, and that.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Said the redbird off off. So we got kicked out
of Saint Mel's.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Then we went to we went to our Lady of
Grace on White Oak, and Ventura kicked out of there too.
We were the wandering Catholics. We went from Woodland Hills
to Encino, to even further Encino. We ended up at
Saint Cyril's where we finally found a home at Saint Cyril.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So that church and then the GYMC across the street.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I think it's directly across street. I'd have to look
that up again, because I haven't been.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Saying like you guys were going or your mom was
going for like the whole block, not allowed to go
on that whole block at all.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
We used to find out where that that church is
in Woodland Hills, because I do remember it being literally
across the street from Jemco. We look at this here, God,
I haven't been there since I may have been nine
or ten. And big goo bingo it is driving out
(24:02):
of Saint Mel's without turning right into the gem Co
parking lot. God, it's amazing how I remembered. Then, well,
I guess sir, she made it memorable. All right, gang,
It's Halloween time at the Disneyland Resort and KFI AM
six forty wants to give you a chance to experience
(24:22):
the frightful fun. The Happiest Halloween has brought fiendishly tasty treats,
thrills for one and all, and a booiful decor to
both Disney both Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park
now through October thirty. First, keep listening to KFI for
your chance to win a four pack of one day,
(24:44):
one park tickets to the disney Land Resort.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We cover a lot today.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
We cover the Skeeters out there in Baldwin, not Baldwin Hills,
Baldwin Park out near the six oh five and the
ten Freeway. That's a big deal. That den gay dunge
gay how you pronounce it? Fever the new Costco opening
up in Baldwin Hills, closer to LA that's off of
(25:18):
Librea and Coliseum.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
A lot of people against it who live in that area.
I get that. I got that, but I think it's
a go. The projects is go.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
They're gonna put a Costco and then eight hundred apartments
on top of Costco, which is very convenient. You know,
if you're out of paper towels or toilet paper, or
you want a hot dog for a buck and a half,
you just go downstairs. You have a Costco in your basement.
How cool is that? You know we all have to
(25:49):
drive to Costco. You could walk take the elevator, but
there's gonna be an elevator just for Costco. You know,
slide right in there, maybe get in there earlier than everybody.
All right, then another store or he just came out
first of all, we followed that barricade in more Park.
The guy was arrested. He was being evicted from his apartment.
Not a mystery there, and got into a tussle with
(26:12):
the cops and he was broadcasting it live on YouTube,
and so between four and five we watched that live
and that was interesting, and Krozer pointed.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Out, that's like the new Police Chase.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I think we're going to see more and more of
that where people are barricaded or crime is going to
be broadcast live on YouTube or social media.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
So did you catch that bad the guy that was
doing the commentary that he said the person that was
being evicted hadn't paid rent in a whole year.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Oh that's a good way to get it evicted. You know,
it's very tough to get evicted in Los Angeles. The
eviction courts almost always side with the tenant almost always,
like ninety eight percent of the time. And to get
an eviction on your record, man, you got to really
grew up. But here is a story that is just
(27:02):
breaking right now. It's just let's see here. It came
out at two thirty nine, so for yeah, literally.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Two or three hours old.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Here Trump is in Long Island in New York and
he's now announced that he's going to Springfield, Ohio as
the crowd chance Save the Cats, Save the Cats, and
so he says he's going off to Springfield, Ohio sometime
in the next couple of weeks. So the post overheard
(27:38):
crowd attendees saying save the cats, Save the cats, and
he says he's going to put together a trip to Springfield, Ohio.
I have never seen so many memes and so many
songs over one topic. And this song I'm about to
play for you. I don't know whether this guy's a
Republican or a Democrat, which makes it perfect. You know,
anytime you don't know the politics of a guy putting
(28:00):
together a creative song about something, a politician said, that
guy knocked it out. But we've got a lot of
requests for this song, and so I'm going have played
for you here. It's a guy who auto tuned and
created a whole song about Donald Trump, saying that they're
eating the dogs and the cats in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats,
They're eating.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
The pens of the people that live there.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, They're eating
the pence of the people.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That live there.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
People love Springfield. Please don't eat my cats. Why would
you do that? Eat something else? People love Springfield.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Please don't eat my dog.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Here's a cat. A look a couple of other things
to eat.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
They're eating the dogs, sloo, they're.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
Eating the cat salmmina.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
They're eating the pens of the people that lit. They're
eating the dogs. They're eating the cat salmmina. They're eating
the pens of the people.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
That they're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're
(29:41):
eating the dogs. They're eating the cat salm almenam. They're
eating the pets of the people that live the they're
eating the dogs.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
All right, I guess you get the idea.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I love how flat the lyric is, which makes it
fantastic here at the beginning.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
If people love Springfield, please don't eat markets, well, would
you do that? Eat something else?
Speaker 4 (30:07):
He eats something, eat something such a great flat lyric.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Eat something else, Eat something else. That's so great, man, man.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
There are so many creative people in this world that
never ever would have an opportunity to share their skills
if it wasn't for social media and YouTube. I can't
tell you how many times I sat there and saw
a guy who's written a song, or a stand up
comedian who've never heard before, who's hysterical, who would have
never had a platform and you would have never heard
(30:42):
of him. But now with social media, he's got a
million followers. That is sensational, man. That is great, great tool,
one of the great positives of social media. They're really creative.
Guys like that have a voice. All right, we're live
on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Conway Show on the on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Now you can always
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Hear us live on KFI AM six forty four to
seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The guy that was barricaded for the better part of
an hour, actually a little over an hour, has given up.
Nobody got hurt, nobody got killed. Very successful. All right, extradition.
They are pulled onto this apartment and extricated him. He's
now off to speed wrapping somewhere and a local jail. Questions,
(00:30):
a lot of questions he's got to answer. Now, that's
the bumber part when you get arrested. You know, you
think you just go to jail and sit there and
you get a sandwich and cool your heels. No detective
comes in and you've got lots of questions answered, lots
of them, and that's not You're not in the mood
for him at that point. All Right, we got Michael
Monks with us here. Michael Monks, how you Bob, Hey,
(00:53):
good afternoon.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I'm doing well. Harre you Tim good hey. We So
we got a good two stories here.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
One is Costco is going to open up a brand
new store and they decide to put like eight million
apartments above it.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Yeah, this is a pretty interesting project. That's gotten a
little bit of national attention from folks who pay attention
to this sort of thing, you know, development and architecture
and revitalization. This is a pretty significant project, certainly significant
enough to draw the mayor and accountswoman a state assembly
member out to the groundbreaking this morning in South LA.
They're at Coliseum and Lombrea where they're going to transform
(01:27):
an old hospital into this new Costco. Now, I'm sure
you've been to Costco right town. Sure, yeah, I love it.
Buy a lot of pants there, you know what, I'm
wearing Costco pants right now.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
It's shocking that they have really good pants.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
They have great pants, But I can't find Costco pants anymore.
You can't find Krookland pants anymore because now it's all
that you know, it's Levi Strauss has come in and
destroyed my my, you know stack.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Of pants that used to be made by Karkland.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Well, they're very friendly at Costco, so I'm sure you
can file a complaint, no Interhaps they'll get to the
bottom of that and get you some proper pants. But
in the meantime, well maybe by the time this one opens,
which we don't know exactly when they broke ground today.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Timeline unclear.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
But you know, this is not going to look like
the Costco you go to around here, which usually has
like a sprawling parking lot and other maybe big box
stores nearby. This is going to look like an urban
neighborhood right up against the street, by the sidewalk where
you would walk.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
In and then upstairs.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Eight hundred apartment units, two hundred of WISH are classified
as affordable for income restricted tenants. And that is key
because this project was fast tracked due to a new
state law that emphasizes projects that have that component.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, now this is actually it's a little bit south
of Obama Boulevard for people that don't know the area.
It's also south of Expedition as well, and it's not
too far, you know from downtown Los Angeles. You know,
it's more Jefferson Park area. But there's a I think
one of the one of the light rails comes right
(03:02):
down Exposition and so this this is going to be
convenient for a lot of people. But that area right there,
there's I think there's a huge apartment complex in that area,
and I don't know where they're gonna put this where
the Ralphs is or the CJS. I don't know where
they're going to get this property or are they going
to take down a couple apartment buildings.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Well, you know, I listen to you all the time,
and the references you make have helped me learn a
lot about LA. You know, you are so knowledgeable about
the map and where things are, especially like when when
there's a chase on the highway.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You're good.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You know, fifty years of driving limousine and driving around,
you know you noticed some things.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
But I are not.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Bad for a kid from Bowling green O high That's right,
That's exactly right. It's good stuff. Because you mentioned CJS
just now, and that's right across the street from this.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's some really intense local knowledge.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Heather Hut, the council member, called it out specifically because
she says that this is a significant boon to those
existing businesses because Costco was a destination. It will bring
people who would not typically go to this neighborhood to
that neighborhood. And as you noted with the with the
exhibition exposition line, it could be shooting it for the
residents downtown to get to a Costco.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
But see CJ's is a local hotspot there, and so
are they gonna take down Dollar Tree? Are they gonna
use the parking lot of cross from CJS?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
No, this is an old hospital that's that's been abandoned
for some time. I think it was called Village View,
and it looked like it had been empty for quite
some time, pretty overgrown, boarded up and that sort of thing.
Mostly one level but a long building. So they're tearing
that down and it's got some parking already there that
will be utilized. The site itself is big enough for this,
(04:41):
Oh it is, okay, all right, So this is gonna
be a great you know, this is gonna be great
for that community.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
You know, right now, I don't know where the closest
Costco is, but I've been. It's a thirty minute ride.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, you know, it was a short trip for me
from the downtown base to get there, and I've gone
to the Costco in Glendale, so this one would certainly
be close.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Okay, So they're going to start this relatively soon. They
fast tracked it because now, if you're putting in any
kind of affordable housing in California, you don't need you know,
local county and city approval for things.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You just the state just gives you the okay exactly.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And key to note, even though there were public officials there,
this isn't one of those projects like we see so
much of lately that has public dollars connected to it.
This is fully privately financed.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Oh excellent, okay, all right, So we have that going on.
It's right a coliseum and Librea, which is just south
of the of the ten freeway there off Exposition. I
think you get off at Libray and just go south
you run into it. That's gonna be a couple of
years though it's gonna be here for the Olympics, but
they're not expected to be done with that before twenty six.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, you know, it's a big project, so it will
take a while. And they only just broke ground today.
I will see the Carpenter's Union that was very present
there today was also very loud and enthusiastic about it.
So they're going to work hard on it.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Oh excellent, okay. Now the other story that you're working on,
you're you're doing dual stories today is the the mosquitoes
that are gonna kill everybody.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
If it's not one thing, it's another time it comes,
it comes to health man, that's just uh.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know, we hear about West Nile every year.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You know, they put out an alert maybe that that
West Nile has popped up, and just be on the
lookout for that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
That wasn't the case. Twenty five years ago. You didn't
hear about West Nile.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
And then about twenty years ago we started to hear
about it and hear about it every year since. And
this they fear, they being the La County Health Department,
could possibly turn into that sort of annual thing, but
they hope not. This is called den gay. I gotta
be careful with my pronunciation. I've been called out by
the editors. I guess my Kentucky accent came out.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What did you How did you did you pronounce it before?
Den gay gay? Den gay?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You know, like the word write, a pen, a pen
that you write with, and a pen that you might
put into me.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Those are the same words.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
What you should tell Chris is go f himself the
things they've put us through. Man, this is a this
is Ally's said, cause he's walking around the hallway and
you saw me do that. So I'm being very careful
to say den gay and that I write with a
pen and then I hang out.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
In the den so I don't get fired to go
back to Kentucky. We don't want that.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
But anyway, den gay is it doesn't sound like it's
a very serious illness, but it could turn into one.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, And really.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
They had a press conference about it to day, and
you think, oh, man, this must be serious. But there's
three confirmed cases and that's serious enough for them to
call all the media out and say this is what's
going on. And all of them have been found in
Baldwin Park there in the San Gabriel Valley. So what
they're concerned about is that these three particular cases originated
in La County.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Typically, when they.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Have cases of dengay that show up in La it's
because somebody went overseas or went out of the country
and was impacted by it there and brought it back.
This time, folks are being bitten by mosquitoes that carry
this and catching it here. And what they think has
happened is some folks out of the country got it,
came back, got bit by a mosquito, that mosquito was infected,
(08:06):
and then passed it on to somebody in Baldwin Park.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Okay, Now we're not talking about the Baldwin Park that's
in Los Angeles. We're talking about the Baldwin Park that's
off the six oh five and the ten.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
The hub of the San Gabriel Valley they call them some.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yes, Okay, because there is a local Baldwin Park, that's
not what we're talking about. It's just south of the
Santa Fe Dam where that bridge fire started on the
six oh five, the two tents, between the ten and
the two tents, that's.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Where these mosquitoes are at lists Again, well, but.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Because I know Krozer lives out in that area, not
quite that area, but that's a little bit west to you. Yeah,
but that that really is a big area for KFI listeners.
The whole Rosemead Monterey Park, you know, Puente Hills is
out there, and that's you know, Irwin Dale. That's a
big a lot of listeners to of KFI out there.
So they should be warned that this deng gay dungay
(08:56):
du guay dengay, the lay.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Fever could wipe mouth sure, because it mostly presents flu
like so you know, you get a fever, you just
feel pretty sick, but you'll have some bone pain maybe
some pain behind your eyes, and the problem is there
there is a more severe version of it. Especially if
you're hit a second time, you're more prone to severe problems.
(09:21):
She could be like organ failure. So this is one
that you don't want to get. So the best thing
they say to do right now is first be aware
that this is happening in the community, and to do
your best to stay away from mosquitos where your insect repellent,
and check around your property where you have standing water.
They made a point today, the health officials did just say, look,
a bottle cap of water attracts a mosquito.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So if you've got anything.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Out that might have collected a little water, I hear,
you know, some rain in the forecast, possibly at.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Some point in the coming days. Actually, you know, get
rid of it, buddy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I really appreciate coming on. We'll see at Costco. You
got it there, goel Dangay, all right, ding don Okay.
This let me explain again. This is not Baldwin Hills
they're talking about. This is Baldwin Park. I know a
lot of people are freaking out that it's Baldwin Hills.
It's not Baldwin Hills. Is a big separate community Baldwin Vista,
(10:12):
Baldwin Hills.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
This is not that.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
This is Baldwin Park Way off near the six oh
five between the ten and the two ten Freeway. So
if you live in Baldwin Hills, you're clean. You're clean.
Near Culver City now you're fine. You're fine.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We've got other news going on. We had Michael Monks
on talking about that Costco. That Costco that they're gonna
build is in Baldwin Park Baldwin Hills is.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Where they have the mosquitos.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's two different areas and so a lot of people
confuse those two.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Don't dunay, don't you know.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
But there are a lot of people that are that
are against this Costco out there. You know, they don't
want eight hundred apartments. If you've ever been in that
area of Exposition Obama Boulevard and Librea, it is one
of the most the busiest most traffic areas in Los
Angeles period. You know, if you ever go to the
Lax from the Valley and you take Librea and when
(11:19):
you drive through that area, it is you always it
always takes you twenty twenty five minutes to get through
that area. I don't know how they're gonna put eight
hundred new apartments in that area and have the.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Traffic go down. That's impossible.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
That's that's probably one of the biggest complaints I've seen
from people that have that are complaining about it. It's like,
oh my god, yeah, what we need more traffic.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, and it's going to be you know, you know, look,
it's nice to have a Costco around.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I get that.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
The nearest Costco I think to that area right now
is probably out in I don't know, it looks like
it's in Century Boulevard, and so one of the original
ones on Century Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That's when it was called Price Club. And yeah, Costco
is Price Club. Yeah, you used to be called Price Club.
That's why I never really don't them.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, I think that's true. I hope it is, because
I just said it on the air, but.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
It may not because.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I remember the only one when it first opened, the
only one that was available in the entire city of
Los Angeles, was the one out near Hollywood Park. It
was literally across the street from Hollywood Park, and we
used to drive from the valley to go to that,
to that Costco or.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
That in the Price Club?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Do you know where the original Price Club was opened?
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Great? Whip around, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Let's do a let's do a an angel powered whip
around here? All right, angel powered whip around all years?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
There we go.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Sorry, they're not as easy as they as they as
they sound, aren't they?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
No, they're not. They're not highly skillful listeners.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Take it for granted that I could quarterback these things
and then when they hand off the ball?
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Okay, in where was the original Price Club?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
What city? What did it open in?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Krozer, uh Moor Park?
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Who else is in there?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Ye? Let's say Dallas, any.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
Other I can't see.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Who's that? Matt's there?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Matt?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
What about you?
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Matt?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I'll say Baldwin Park, just to be topical, bald Park.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Actually, we just did a story of there's never been
a Costco within thirty miles?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Is that everybody that's just gonna screw it? All right?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Let me take a guess here, I'm gonna say that
the original Price Club. God, I want to say, Can
I say just a county? Maybe Orange County?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Okay, Well, nobody got the answer why. But as far
as location is concerned, Timmy, you your answer is the closest.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Oh okay, where is it in San Diego?
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Really? Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
That's great knowledge, great great initial whip around by Angel Martinez,
an Angel powered whip around.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's kind of cool San Diego, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
But I remember driving with my mom or my dad
from the San Fernando Valley to Hollywood Park, and it
always made my dad crazy that we were driving all
the way to Hollywood Park.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And we weren't going to the races.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We're going to the Price Club to get you a
cart full of crap and take it back to the valley.
But the only time we ever went to Price Club
was when my mom and dad were having a party
and we'd buy you know, one hundred hamburgers or fifty
hot dogs, or a whole tray of lasagna or whatever
it was, maybe those chickens. But it was a big
(15:00):
event that when we went there. I mean like we
carved out a Saturday or a Sunday to drive down
to Inglewood to go to Price Club and then drive home.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
It was an all day event. You know.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It was an hour to get there and we spent
an hour, maybe an hour and a half there, you know,
because it was it was a cool, big warehouse thing.
We've never seen anything like that before. There was not
a there wasn't a singles store in Los Angeles or
in California that we've ever seen like that before. There
was no Walmart, there was none of these big bless
you stephush. There was none of these big, huge, you know,
(15:33):
warehouse stores. They didn't exist. There was no home Depot,
There was no you know, Lows or Walmart or Target.
The first one that we knew of it. We had
to be a member. And back then, I remember it
was fifteen dollars a year to be a member of
Price Club. I remember for some reason that that number
stuck out as high by the way. But the closest
(15:53):
thing to that, the closest thing to go into Price
Club was a store called Gemco.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I don't know if anybody anybody here remember Jemco. I
remember the name. Never been in one. Yeah, there was
one in Pasadena, the Gemco in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
It's a Target now off of got to get always
get these streets messed up. I think it's Corbyn or
it's you know when Netca, it's whatever that street is
where that target is in Woodland Hills right now used
to be a gem Co and we used to go
with my mom, and my mom had a membership and
I think that was like ten dollars a year. And
(16:28):
I remember one day my mom went to Gemco and
you had to show your membership card to get in,
and she left it at home. And as we were
walking towards Gemco, I said to my brother Pat, I go, Pat,
this is going to blow up because the red Bird
doesn't have her card. The big Mac is going to
(16:48):
throw an s fit when they stop her at the door.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And man did she deliver? Man did she put on
a show.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
I don't think the cops were called, but I know
security got involved and we were x nate.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
We were tossed. We were not allowed in that building. Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, I don't know if my mom ever went back.
She took it personally and did a lot of swearing.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Did they post her picture up at the front door
to not allow this person in?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
No, she didn't.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And look, the Gemco had to be really really pissed
because my mom spent a lot of money there to
throw out a family that spent way too much money
at Gemco that says something about Big Mac, the Big
Mac attack. And I remember walking towards that store to
my brother Jamie and Pat go we're about to see
a show here, kids, this one. The Redbird's not going
(17:39):
home to get that card, not going home. There's going
to be a blow up here like you haven't seen
in a long time. And it started immediately we walked in.
She goes right on my card. Can I get a
you know, a temporary card? We don't do that. You're
doing that and then boom the tornado hit. Just yelling
and swearing and pointing. The whole day was grazy. I
(18:03):
wish I wish they had video back then. Man slowly
backing up Mom tearing out of the parking lot, you know,
spinning the tires as he left the parking lot in
our old station wagon.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You know the sons, that mother effort. You know, you
just swear.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demand from kf
I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Dave Coons chiming in the car guy from ABC. He
said that that gem Co membership was only a dollar. Okay, Well,
I think we had I don't know what our membership was,
but if it was a dollar makes that story even
crazier that she didn't pay the extra dollar for a
new membership card. But that's not how Big Mac rolled.
(18:48):
That's not how the Redbird rolled.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
And it was.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
On Ventura and De Soto, that's right, Yeah, Venturn and
De Soto. And I just remembered during the break that
that gem Co visit was right around Christmas because there's
a lot of Christmas decorations in Gemco. You had the
trees and the you know, the Santa Claus and the ornaments,
the gifts, all that stuff. And we went to Saint Mels,
(19:15):
which is the church that I was baptized at, and
I had my I think my first my my communion
was down the road a bit because we got kicked
out of Saint Mels. But I had my first well
that's why confession there and I had communion there, and
I was baptized there at Saint Mels, which is directly
across the street from Jemco. I mean you literally can
(19:38):
walk across the street out of the church. Is still there,
I think it is, and you would be in the
Gemco parking lot. So it was a Sunday right around
Christmas and for an hour and fifteen minutes, because my
mom liked to go to the late Mass because there
was a choir and she sang that's right, that's right loud.
(19:59):
She practiced loud at home to yes sir, yes sir,
it's like you lived with us, and saying with the choir,
I believe, try it out for the choir. And that's
another story that didn't go in her direction, but would
sing loudly in church. And then when you go to church,
if you've ever been a Catholic Mass for an hour
(20:22):
to an hour and fifteen minutes, the priest tells you
how to treat other people. That's all church is.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
They do it in different ways, they do it in
different tones, they do it in different languages. But when
you go to Catholic church for one hour, they tell
you how to treat other people. Be kind, donate your time, volunteer,
be you know, love other people, love other you know
(20:51):
religions and races, Be supportive of one another. You know,
no violence, that's all it is. It's just tell people
how to behave Seven minutes after that mass was over,
Big Mac blew up at gem Coo. We drove out
of Saint Mel's parking lot, didn't make a turn at
(21:11):
that point, you could drive out and drive straight into
gem Come didn't make a turn and Cabo just a crazy,
crazy day. But that was very predictable, very predictable, and
my dad stopped going on those trips because he knew
that you know, you're you're you have a stick of
(21:33):
dynamite in the driver's seat and it could always blow.
And when the redbird blew, people noticed.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
People noticed. So we got kicked out.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Of Saint Mel's I and you know, tossed out. And
my dad was, you know they call us. I'm sure
you people know what it is.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Tithing. You know what that is, croz.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
You give ten percent of your salary to the church, right,
and my dad was big on that, you know, he
always gave ten percent of his salary. So how pissed
off were the priests and the nuns to kick a
family of six out who've all been confirmed and baptized
and had their first confession and went to Sunday School
CCD and donated ten percent of his salary. And he's
(22:19):
making good money to that church, they said, out out
because my mom was a very very strict person where
life began. Life began at conception, and if a priest
he was was one percent off that if he wasn't
due north, if he was one percent off that she
(22:40):
confronted him. And she confronted the priest after a mass
because he said something about, you know, forgiving people for abortion,
or you know, in certain circumstances it is, you know,
completely understandable, and that.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Said the redbird off off. So we got kicked out
of Saint Mel's.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Then we went to we went to our Lady of
Grace on White Oak, and Ventura kicked out of there too.
We were the wandering Catholics. We went from Woodland Hills
to Encino, to even further Encino. We ended up at
Saint Cyril's where we finally found a home at Saint Cyril.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So that church and then the GYMC across the street.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I think it's directly across street. I'd have to look
that up again, because I haven't been.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Saying like you guys were going or your mom was
going for like the whole block, not allowed to go
on that whole block at all.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
We used to find out where that that church is
in Woodland Hills, because I do remember it being literally
across the street from Jemco. We look at this here, God,
I haven't been there since I may have been nine
or ten. And big goo bingo it is driving out
(24:02):
of Saint Mel's without turning right into the gem Co
parking lot. God, it's amazing how I remembered. Then, well,
I guess sir, she made it memorable. All right, gang,
It's Halloween time at the Disneyland Resort and KFI AM
six forty wants to give you a chance to experience
(24:22):
the frightful fun. The Happiest Halloween has brought fiendishly tasty treats,
thrills for one and all, and a booiful decor to
both Disney both Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park
now through October thirty. First, keep listening to KFI for
your chance to win a four pack of one day,
(24:44):
one park tickets to the disney Land Resort.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
We cover a lot today.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
We cover the Skeeters out there in Baldwin, not Baldwin Hills,
Baldwin Park out near the six oh five and the
ten Freeway. That's a big deal. That den gay dunge
gay how you pronounce it? Fever the new Costco opening
up in Baldwin Hills, closer to LA that's off of
(25:18):
Librea and Coliseum.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
A lot of people against it who live in that area.
I get that. I got that, but I think it's
a go. The projects is go.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
They're gonna put a Costco and then eight hundred apartments
on top of Costco, which is very convenient. You know,
if you're out of paper towels or toilet paper, or
you want a hot dog for a buck and a half,
you just go downstairs. You have a Costco in your basement.
How cool is that? You know we all have to
(25:49):
drive to Costco. You could walk take the elevator, but
there's gonna be an elevator just for Costco. You know,
slide right in there, maybe get in there earlier than everybody.
All right, then another store or he just came out
first of all, we followed that barricade in more Park.
The guy was arrested. He was being evicted from his apartment.
Not a mystery there, and got into a tussle with
(26:12):
the cops and he was broadcasting it live on YouTube,
and so between four and five we watched that live
and that was interesting, and Krozer pointed.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Out, that's like the new Police Chase.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I think we're going to see more and more of
that where people are barricaded or crime is going to
be broadcast live on YouTube or social media.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
So did you catch that bad the guy that was
doing the commentary that he said the person that was
being evicted hadn't paid rent in a whole year.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Oh that's a good way to get it evicted. You know,
it's very tough to get evicted in Los Angeles. The
eviction courts almost always side with the tenant almost always,
like ninety eight percent of the time. And to get
an eviction on your record, man, you got to really
grew up. But here is a story that is just
(27:02):
breaking right now. It's just let's see here. It came
out at two thirty nine, so for yeah, literally.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Two or three hours old.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Here Trump is in Long Island in New York and
he's now announced that he's going to Springfield, Ohio as
the crowd chance Save the Cats, Save the Cats, and
so he says he's going off to Springfield, Ohio sometime
in the next couple of weeks. So the post overheard
(27:38):
crowd attendees saying save the cats, Save the cats, and
he says he's going to put together a trip to Springfield, Ohio.
I have never seen so many memes and so many
songs over one topic. And this song I'm about to
play for you. I don't know whether this guy's a
Republican or a Democrat, which makes it perfect. You know,
anytime you don't know the politics of a guy putting
(28:00):
together a creative song about something, a politician said, that
guy knocked it out. But we've got a lot of
requests for this song, and so I'm going have played
for you here. It's a guy who auto tuned and
created a whole song about Donald Trump, saying that they're
eating the dogs and the cats in Springfield, Ohio.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats,
They're eating.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
The pens of the people that live there.
Speaker 9 (28:29):
They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, They're eating
the pence of the people.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That live there.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
People love Springfield. Please don't eat my cats. Why would
you do that? Eat something else? People love Springfield.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Please don't eat my dog.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Here's a cat. A look a couple of other things
to eat.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
They're eating the dogs, sloo, they're.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
Eating the cat salmmina.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
They're eating the pens of the people that lit. They're
eating the dogs. They're eating the cat salmmina. They're eating
the pens of the people.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
That they're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're
(29:41):
eating the dogs. They're eating the cat salm almenam. They're
eating the pets of the people that live the they're
eating the dogs.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
All right, I guess you get the idea.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I love how flat the lyric is, which makes it
fantastic here at the beginning.
Speaker 10 (30:00):
If people love Springfield, please don't eat markets, well, would
you do that? Eat something else?
Speaker 4 (30:07):
He eats something, eat something such a great flat lyric.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Eat something else, Eat something else. That's so great, man, man.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
There are so many creative people in this world that
never ever would have an opportunity to share their skills
if it wasn't for social media and YouTube. I can't
tell you how many times I sat there and saw
a guy who's written a song, or a stand up
comedian who've never heard before, who's hysterical, who would have
never had a platform and you would have never heard
(30:42):
of him. But now with social media, he's got a
million followers. That is sensational, man. That is great, great tool,
one of the great positives of social media. They're really creative.
Guys like that have a voice. All right, we're live
on KFI AM six forty.
