Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Bill Schuman is
with us from Fox to eleven News formally with NBC News.
Can we can we have a shout out to the
to the local news media, television, radio newspapers who are
on around the clock, I mean local news matters man.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Doing a great job bringing this story to everybody, and
everybody has their own story on how they were affected
and the emotion that they're going through, you know, the
the helplessness, you know, because.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Then and then what do you say, right what do
you say to someone like like David who we just
had on.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I know, and if and if you say, you know,
is there anything I can do to help? It seems
like a like a flat, sort of vague, you know,
insincere offer, But it's true.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
People will do anything. Well tell.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
One of the things you can say is let me
know how you're doing when you can. You don't need
to answer right now, or let me know what if
anything I can bring you, is it food, water, close
a book, pet, food, you know, those are something things
that can help. It's okay to cry, It's okay to scream.
You know, I'm here to listen. I'm looking at some
pointers online. You're safe in my home. Come whenever you'd like, bring,
(01:20):
bring itever you like. I mean, that's a good one.
And people need help with pets too. Let's go real
quickly to KTLA.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
There's a fire going on in Riverside brushfire breaks out
in Riverside County.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Let's find out exactly where there's.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
These regions in the area around the fire is all
in the low teens. We're looking at twelve thirteen. I
saw one even as low as eleven percent. This is
Arubo Valley at seventeen percent. So again remember that anything
below twenty percent is threatening.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Anything below launching right now in KTLA, it doesn't look
like there's any water on this fire. It looks like
just hand cruise trying to put this out and Opa Valley,
and it does not look like the wind is really
blowing around too much.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
And these percentages are below the threshold, which is why
we have a.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Right and tim This fire is burning just west of
Van Buren and just north of the ninety one freeway,
and it's right along the river.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, so let us know where on the ninety one
in regards to the fifteen, is it is it near
the fifteen?
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Wondering it is?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Let me double check. I should know where the Opa
Valley is.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
It's past the fifteen, so it's east of the fifteen
freeway and coming up on Van Buren. That's the closest
busy street to this brush fire is Van Buren.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So it's off the ninety one, east of the fifteen.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, and it's north of the of the ninety one
freeway okay.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And the river, Oh, I'm the river Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I don't understand why there's no water on this fire.
Is this a control burned? Maybe that's possible, but there's
just hand cruise on it now.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Yeah. The according to watch Duty, they were calling it
one acre fire. It's active. No information on the containment,
but they were saying that the forward progress seems to
be slowing and the bulk of the fire has been
knocked down with an exception of this area that we're
watching currently.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, and it's in the.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
You know, right at the river bottom apparently I guess
the river's dry.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And we're watching this by now. Phil Schuman's with us.
Keep an eye on the winds. It doesn't your right,
Phil doesn't look that windy out there, which is great.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But this is what's going to be happening all night
long tonight, tomorrow Wednesday. We're just going to be on edge.
Why no water on this fire? You think it's too
far to get water in there? Makes no sense to me.
Seems like you know, it's right off, right off of
the road. Yeah, certain they can get fire engines in there.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Maybe they're letting it burn so they don't have to
come back tomorrow. Maybe this is a control burn. Is
that possible?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I don't know why they start at six o'clock at night,
not on the on the heel, not in the beginning
of a wind red flag alert. So this fire is burning.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Near the ninety one east of the fifteen group of valley,
and it looks like they have a pretty good line
around it. These guys with with shovels and rakes and
axes and and they're putting an entire line around this fire.
It looks like there might be you know, thirty guys
on this thing, and that's got to be a very
difficult job, man, very difficult. Let's pick up the audio
(04:37):
here on KTLA see we get any more information on this.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Spire rush, how tall it is, how thick it is
in that Santa Ana river bed, very dry, there's very
little water if any. So right now they're relying heavily
on the hand cruise here to cut these lines around
the fire.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Relying heavily on the hand cruise for sure. And do
we have any word on what's happening with the water
dropping helicopter.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Yeah, on the way out here, about five minutes out
from the fire, I did hear them talking about ordering
up a helicopter or two to help battle the fire.
We're still keeping an eye out for those helicopters to
come in and we'll hopefully they'll get here soon because
we don't want that fire to get beyond the lines
they're cutting, because, especially in the direction it's traveling right now,
(05:25):
the hot spots there and let me look for Ember's
going out further and starting brush.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
On fire in between Van Buren and right along the
river that.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Are on that side, anything that comes their way. So
they have that bank and then the homes, I think
to get this out and.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Gil a few moments ago you showed us the neighborhood
that is just Jason, I think you said Rutland Avenue,
can you show us what's going on, because we started
to see some people moving around in that area, and
it looked like if they were not evacuating, they were
at least getting ready, perhaps smelling the smoke and seeing
the flames there in the distance.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
Yeah, or everybody's on the let me bring up our
map here so you can see the overlay on that
and DiMaggio Street, and it looks like we have some
vehicles moving through the area. Let's see if they mean
just from.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Watching this attast, some minutes of flames are.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Lesser, right, Well, maybe there's not many people home at
this hour. You would think not a whole lot of activity.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
With all the criticism of no water, and so I
think that they would try to doubt this thing.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Immedia and show you again this is a Rutland ab
and it looked like there was more activity on Rutland
here with the people.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But they've called in for a couple of helicopters.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
They have the hose lines pulled.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
There's also fire trucks here that in the neighborhood that
are going to put any spot.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Fires a little coldest.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And now CNN's pick this up as National.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
You're leaving the scene, so it looks like maybe some
people are are deciding to evacuate themselves. We still haven't
heard anything about official evacuations, but more and more fire,
and at this point the fire is actually looking a
lot better than when we just arrived a few minutes ago.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Yeah, it certainly is these guys walking right through that
fire a.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Little bit, but of cutting the branches down with those powers,
the fact a lot of theseus are inmates.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
These guys are area with gusts of twenty five miles
per hour, and that certainly is enough to take those
embers from this fire.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
You're saying, I saw a statistic.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I find this number high, but thirty percent of the
firefighters battling the California wildfires are the are the inmate.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Course, this is a sign. There's a shopping cart in
the middle of this fire.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well, you know, when you hear about the river bottom
there you go right or even warning.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Favorite place for homeless encampments.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
And maybe perhaps you know they seem to have a
good handle on this fire at this moment, but you know,
things can change rapidly, as we've seen Sandy and you
were out.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
There, all right, we're going to keep an eye on
this fire out there in the group of valley off
the ninety one, near east of the fifteen freeway. And
on a normal day this wouldn't make anybody nervous. The
firemen would put it out and you go back to
your daily life, whatever you're doing, eating dinner with the family,
watching the Rams game, whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But not today.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Not today, everybody's on edge, and you know, everybody thinks
it's going to be they're going to be next.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Well, you have to be prepared as if you could be.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's you know what's also a little bit frightening when
you're like us, we're glued to like the TV and
the radio. Is that a lot of times they're run file.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Tape and you're not clear like yet, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But then you realize, oh, that's video from Tuesday night,
which I don't think is a good practice. You should
stay current, right, But yeah, because it scares people, you
know what, you know, who else does that? If i'm
I'll tune into the Padres do that all the time?
I tuned into a Padres game, maybe I got a
couple bucks on it, and like, oh, but.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Mcgarto just hit another home run, Like yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's like and that was from eight days ago, you know, Yeah,
watching the fire here in Riverside.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's live on CNN.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This is still a major national story and it is
not going to go away. There's there's going to be
a lot of attention on Southern California if you notice,
and I know you're a big football fan, if you're
watching some of the playoffs this weekend, they all started
sure with let's remember the people in Southern California, and.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
There was a maz we're just watching it without audio
obviously in the studio monitors, but a major segment before
the Rams game on Southern California. So yeah, people are
in the NFL, I believe is donated millions. They're raising
money with gear, They're wearing AfD logo jerseys and caps,
so it is Look, there's no question that there's support
(10:06):
and resources that's right, are pouring in the question like
for someone like David, who we heard earlier, you're so
overwhelmed and still in shock, you're not sure who to
talk to. I should mention that Lacity dot org. You know,
I'm still getting all these press release from the city
from the county. A huge amount of information on lacity
dot org, La County dot org in terms of resources available,
(10:27):
disaster relief centers that are opening, so there is plenty
of help in the pipeline.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Excellent. We got to take a break here. I'm gonna
be back at midnight.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'll be here at seven o'clock with Phil Schuman, then
Moe Kelly comes in. I think most thing till midnight.
I'll come back midnight to three am, and then three
am Valentine will.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Be coming on.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He's with iHeartMedia, and then and then after three o'clock
three to five, it'll be the regular wake up call,
and then Bill Handle and Gary Chan. They brought in
a bulldoz for this fire here in Riverside. We'll keep
an eye on this thing.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Forty and on a lighter note and a distracted distraction
here tonight is the Rams game. It looks like the
Rams have just scored a touchdown. I think it was
a pick six, wasn't fumble fumble bumble recover And so
if if this stands, which I think it will, it's
Rams sixteen the Vikings three.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It would be nice to have been able to enjoy
like wild Card weekend, right and at Sofi Stadium and
big help for every It just seems like it's so
irrelevant in a sense now sports, how how trivial.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But I think it would have been a great distraction
for dads and sons or mothers and daughters to go
to that game for three hours and not think about
what's going on, if that.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Was even possible.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, but we'll keep an eye on that obviously.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Tonight. The big story is the winds. The winds are
coming up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
There's a fire in Rupa Valley, which is east of
the fifth I'm sorry, yeah, east of the fifteen freeway
and near the ninety one north of ninety one, east
of the fifteen freeway, right, So that's where it's near.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
At Norcombe. You know that Norco stands for North Corona.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I did not know that, Sarah. I found that a
couple of years ago. And what does Fontana stand for?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I don't know. I do not know.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
All right, let's find out more information here the Eaton
fire for people out in that area, the latest and
numbers on the Eton fire. That's one in Altadena. This
also affect parts of Pasadena and Arcadia.
Speaker 10 (12:46):
We are here in Alta Dina right now. We've been
if you're with us a little bit ago. We're taking
a drive around here looking at some of the damage
that's been done. We're right now on Maiden Lane, making
our way up Maiden Lane. We were in this general
area a little earlier. I think we passed this house
right here, kind of one of the few we've seen
standing in this area. As we go up here, let's
(13:06):
show you tell you about some of the updates we've
received from officials. Fire officials say, so far in this fire,
they have more than seven thousand structures either damaged or destroyed.
And as you look around at this view, you can
kind of see why the numbers are so high. They say,
so far here in the Eton fire area, they've got
eight deaths. And they also are having a problem with looters,
(13:28):
people who've gotten in here who are not supposed to
be in this area. They've had fifteen people arrested in
this area who are not supposed to be in this area,
some for charges like burglary and looting, some for possession
of narcotics. They are instituting a curfew that will run
from six pm to six am, and they say anybody
caught in this area during those curfew hours, they'll have
(13:49):
a zero tolerance policy. Essentially, you won't be cited and released,
and said the stead The sheriff says, you will be
booked and arrested, and the DA backed him up on that,
saying he will prosecute any cases people found in here
during the cure few, and especially those found to be
looting and taking advantage of these people who have been
evacuated and some who have lost so much. As you're
clearly seeing, and we just turned onto Beverly Way, if
(14:12):
you're keeping track of where we're at here in Beverly Way,
you see is the one house here on Beverly Way.
I get the camera back around to it there that
was still standing, but a lot of them here just
completely lost.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's unbelievablet there. You know who Chief Brian Fantasy is.
He's with the Orange County Fire Authority, Orange County Fire Authority.
I think it was his brother who had a house
in the Eton fire that he had to go there
and help his brother try to save a house. Let's
get that audio when we come back it's Conway Show.
(14:45):
Phil Shuman's with us. I'll be atill seven o'clock. Mo
Kelly takes over seven to midnight. I'll be back midnight
to three a m. Because we expecting these strong gusts,
these winds overnight into tomorrow and into Wednesday. It could
be seventy mile an hour guy, so we could relive.
It's certainly not the nightmare that we had last Tuesday.
(15:05):
But anything goes. And I think everybody listening right now
you think you're going to be next, and you're not
wrong to panic like that. You're not wrong. It is
a it is a natural instinct to be when when
so many homes have burned to the ground for no rhyme,
no reason, and this fire was so ferocious, and that
anything goes nowadays. So I do understand that kind of panic.
(15:28):
I absolutely do, especially if you live up in the hills.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
We'll be here at seven o'clock. Moll Kelly takes over.
It's hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. Yeah,
and he'll stay till midnight. Then I'll slide back midnight
to three am, three to five is Valentine and he
does mostly music, but he's a news guy. Don't if
(15:57):
you know that, I did not. Yeah, big news guy
and he's gonna be on from three to five. I
don't think I've ever opened for Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I like anybody with a one name name. I like Madonna,
Share whoopee oh that one name's great.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Beyonce. Beyonce is another one. Beyonce's donated two and a
half million dollars to the Fight to people have been
victims of these fires.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, a lot of people stepping up. Yeah, I think Disney.
I saw a headline for the Disney Corporation fifteen million.
Oh that's Rick Caruso five million to the City of
La Fire Department. Yeah, that's gonna go a long way.
There's gonna be a lot of people that need it,
and hopefully that money can get in the hands pretty
quickly if you go, if you have anything to donate.
I think they're still taking donations. I'm not sure it's
(16:45):
sant Anita. I know what the Rose Bowler are taking donations. Well,
the Dream Center is even that partnership with iHeartMedia.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
The next few days yeah, right, you can go to
the website and get details on that.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I've never seen a how a giving you know, a
sort of a support location has expanded so quickly like
sant Anita.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, I mean it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And the people organizations are saying, we don't want clothes
right now, right, I mean, I think the best thing
to do if you're not sure what to do right now,
donate money to the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, whatever
your favorite legitimate organization is.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I know that you know that people do need distractions,
and if you need a good one right now. The
Rams are up by two touchdowns with forty five seconds
left in the second quarter and they're already in field
goal range.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Is that Nikula?
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, who was injured before and he's back.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So it's always interesting when you're on the radio and
you're encouraging people to turn off the radio or your
app to turn on the TV or do you just
think people are going to do both at the same time. Well,
here's a Robin our former boss would get what's the
answer to get down on me for this, But here's
here's what Oh, touchdown Rams, touchdown Rams all right, so
(18:05):
the Rams are now up by twenty points, and if
they get the pat up by twenty one going.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
To the half, that's great. So then so here's the theory. Good.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Her theory was, why would you tell people to shut
the radio off to go watch TV? But I have
a I have a different theory. I think if I
didn't say anything and people miss the games, they're like, oh,
screw that guy. He was selfish with his ratings and
he could have told me the game was on. I
would have gone back to him, But now I don't
trust that he tells me everything.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, second one not buying, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The second one is you know they're going to come
back if if they are at the station that tells
you everything that's going on, all the interesting crap that's
going on. Like if I didn't say the Rams game
was going on right now, I would feel like I'm
lying to the audience.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So the management philosophy of don't remind them because that
means they'll turn you off and turn that on.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You're not you're not buying that. I'm not bothered by
it because we did that all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We'd have this argument at Fox eleven where they'd cb
a football game or a baseball game on an unrival network.
And so when the five o'clock news or the six
o'clock news, we wouldn't mention it because we feel like
we're reminding people to watch the competition.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Right Like if I if I'm listening to Petro some Money,
which is on another station, and they say, oh, we're watching,
you know, the Lakers. You know, with twenty seconds left
it's tied. I'll go watch the Laker game. But I
appreciate them ten men come back. I appreciate them telling
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree
with different philosophy, different philosophy. But I think if you
and I are watching that game and we're not telling
the audience that I think we're lying to, well, I
also think that we're also like our kids would have
six screens open in front of them. They'd have the TV,
they'd have their iPad, right, they'd have their phone, they'd
have a second tea, and they can watch they can
(19:51):
watch the game while still listening to KFI. Yeah, you know,
but for the RAMS to be up by Nobody predicted
that the Rams up by twenty one point that this
holds twenty one points going into the half. So they're
gonna interview Sean, Sean Payton, Sean McVeigh live at that
break at halftime. Right, you can almost guess what they're
(20:12):
gonna and so Sean, you be Sean, So, coach, what
are you going to tell your team at halftime to
make sure they maintain this lead? Well, the game plan
that we came up with over the weekend is sticking.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We got to make sure to tighten up the defense.
You got to avoid some injuries, and you know, all
we have got to do is come out and make
sure that our defense is it holds them in the
second half. We'll be fine. Coach, thanks for your time.
That's right, That's it. They always say the same thing.
It's but yet they continue to do it.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well. First of all, they're required to do it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
But there's no surprising evolation there every Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Greg Popovich, right the Spurs coaches is the classic one
because he just doesn't play the game.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
He just will say, you know, hey, what do you
ask me that for it? And then Aaron Andrews, who's
on the sidelines, she'll interview a guy at the end
of the of the game, and then she always tells
him what to do, like go be with you, get
on that bus, Go get on that busy, Go get
yourself a turkey leg on Thanksgiving, go this, go there,
bothers you to that. No, it's just like you notice it.
(21:15):
It's a I don't know if it's a crutch or what,
but I notice that. But you know, she's married to
Jared the guy used to play for the La Kings
and he won two Stanley Cups with the La Kings.
He won in twenty twelve, in twenty fourteen, and he's
married and to Aaron Andrews.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
What a life this guy's got going?
Speaker 9 (21:33):
Well?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Sure, I mean Aaron Andrews, she's great. I think yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I mean I am a student of and a fan
of the coverage of the games, you know, being in
TV and being big sports actually started my alleged career
in sports.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
What about Tom Brady, I.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Think Tom Brady, I say, I give him a B
for season one, and I think he's made progress. I mean,
imagine how hard it is to be brilliant, funny and concise,
you know, in between every play and you've never done
it before.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I think he's doing a great job. I think he
brings the perspective that nobody else and hey, it's it's
a TV show. He's a star's right, and he brings
star power to it. So that's why they paid him.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
What is it, thirty seven million dollars a year while
they're laying off, you know, people in other parts of
the company. I think I like his Yeah, who doesn't
love Tom Brady?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Is you all right?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
So it is halftime. The Rams are up by twenty
one points. At halftime it is twenty four to three Rams.
They're not playing at Sofi Stadium. What a game that
would have been at Solfi Stadium? Yeah, would have been exciting.
Have you been to games at so Far?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I went to a Chargers stealers. Sofi Stadium is like
another world.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It's like the Grand It's like when you see the
Grand Canyon for the first Yeah, that's what the stadium
is like.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's like a multisensory overload. It's it's incredible. Yeah, all right,
ween'll come back. We're gonna wrap up.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Plus we're gonna have from Da Hawkman and updated criminal
charges on people that thought it'd be interesting to loot.
He's got another thought for you. It's called prison for
a long time. He's going to be putting a lot
of guys that works for me. Yeah, for a long time.
Welcome back mo Kelly at seven o'clock till midnight. I'm
(23:17):
coming back midnight to three a m. And then Valentine
three at a five am and then regular programming Amy King,
Bill Handle, Garyan Shannon, and John Colba.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Phil Schuman is with us. I really appreciate you coming in. Well,
look to me, it's a privilege to be here.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I mean, I think we're doing important work, letting people
know what's going on, keeping them up to date, accurate information.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, and Moe Kelly takes over at seven, he'll go
to midnight. I'll be back midnight to three with a
lot more information. We've got high winds coming in tonight.
That's why I'm coming back at midnight. Yeah, we do
not needto Wednesday. Wednesday. You know, back in the old days,
it was like a one day event. Now it's like
good So now we're all on edge for another two days.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Everybody thinks they're going to be next they're gonna be.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So if you don't have a bag packed and a
plan made at this point, then you should.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
You have to really, you got to get the valuables together. Fortunately,
my wife has has done that. She's ready to go whenever,
you know, whenever anybody says evacuate, We're gone. We are done.
I don't know where we're going, but we're not sticking
around the house.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
All right, Well, i'd say you could come to my house,
but yeah, I know, you know a lot of people
say hey, do you want to come to my house.
Then if you say yeah, you're like, ah, no, you
can come to my house. Yeah, I'm not that far away.
I'm in Studio City. We did we did evacuate as
a precaution on that Sunset fire there was up near
Runyon Canyon.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You know, I think a lot of people in la
are are very giving and very and have big hearts
and would do anything for anybody. But I think there's
also a group of people where you say, hey, is
there anything I can do for you? And they said, yeah,
do you mind holding my dogs for weeks? They're like, ah, christ,
don't say it if you don't mean it. I didn't
think we were going to say, yes, your dogs. What
(25:06):
kind of dogs you have?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Man, I look, we got dogs of our own. Why
don't you find somebody you know that's that kind of crab.
You know, it's unbelievable, all right, da hokman A right,
here's he's he's putting his fist down, putting the big guy,
you know, the hammer down on anybody looting.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
So again, with respect to all these charges, as I
said before, these charges are not evidence, and they are
presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. But
this shows the effectiveness of law enforcement. So when I said,
and I have been saying over the net past couple
of days, the question is not if, but when you
will be caught if you engage in these crimes. The
(25:47):
ten charges or ten different individuals that have been charged
today are evidence of that.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Fact, and they're going away for a long time if
they're found guilty.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
And the warning shot remains, do not go ahead and
engage in looting, engage in internet scams, engage in price gouging,
do not violate evacuation orders, and do not commit any
of these crimes in which people are trying to profit
from the tragedy of the people who have suffered from
(26:18):
these various fires.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
All right, here's another update here. Let's see if any
more information from our new dam today.
Speaker 11 (26:25):
We're here to announce that the promise that we made
when we started this that these criminals would be arrested,
they would be prosecuted, and they will be maximally punished,
is a promise we are keeping. As we announced today,
the charges being filed on ten different.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Okay, so that's about the same audio.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Let me ask you a question when it comes to
price gouging. There was a guy in the San Fernando
Valley who was offering a two bedroom, two bathroom house
to rent, and he said, I think it was at
twenty five No, it was a thirty five hundred dollars
and he's going to it for thirty five hundred bucks.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
It was.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
It was online and some guy said, I'll give you
five grand a month for that house if he takes
that offer. Is that price gouging?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Really, but market rate. You're saying someone offers offer, you're
not charging them. I'm going to say yes.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Really.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm not an attorney, I would think it's not. I
think if somebody is willing to pay you more. You
don't ask for it to paying you more to you know,
to secure that house. I think that's uh, you know,
that's free market. You might be right, I mean that's
a that's a good question. Have to do some research
on that. Maybe when you come back it you'll know
that when I make with you tonight. Now I have
(27:40):
your phone number, Yeah, I'll give you a jingle. All right,
here is the latest. We are going to get crazy wins.
They may not be what we had last week, hopefully
they're not, but they're strong enough for the Weather Service
to put out some warnings again. And they've said between
twenty three and thirty mile an hour steady winds in
(28:01):
some areas with gus up to seventy miles an hour. Yeah,
it's an unusual term that the National Weather Service uses,
a particularly dangerous situation a PDS.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, and they were right, you know they were, they
were absolute right. I wish that we all knew this
last week. The I know, we we heard about the severity,
but I wish we were all more more, you know,
aware of how bad this was going to be.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I wish they had done more in terms of bringing
resources in on on Monday and Tuesday instead of on
Thursday and Friday. But again, high sight, hindsight's twenty twenty, right, Yeah,
And and you know it would have been nice.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You're right when the fires initially broke out that the
Oregon helped, the home helped. We had seventy firefighters from
Mexico come in. It had been nice if they were
here that night, the first night, if they had water too,
But they weren't. And what we found out today on
this show, and and I can't I still can't believe this,
but Phil Schumann confirmed it.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
There's not a.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
General, overall universal hookup for hydrants.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
They vary by state.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
So if you're a firefighter from Oregon, you may not
have the hookup for a California hydrant have to get
an adapter, now do they do?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
They vary by county. They got ready by region by region. Yeah,
so it may be that the West has a universal.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Hookup.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That would have been a good question to ask one
of those firefighters. We'll have to keep track of these questions.
I think we have Steve Krieger coming on tonight. He's
a retired LA County firefighter. We'll see if we cannot
pick his brain. But isn't that a tremendous oversight. You
wouldn't even think of that. Yes, yeah, exactly. Look, garden
hose is universal. You know, every garden hose you have,
it's either a three quarter inch or half inch and
(29:49):
but the but the ends are the same. You know,
they're all the same.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You know, one and a half inchos or one inchos
and three quarter inchos the actual nozzle you know that
goes on to the spigot. They're all this, but yet
in firefighting they're different. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Yeah,
it's odd, really really odd. But I really appreciate coming in.
Thanks for having me. I would give out your social media,
but I know you're not on. No, don't worry social media,
Fox Phil, Fox fil Foxville.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
And Instagram and the x X don't don't don't criticize
the X during during disasters. It's a source of valuable information, yes,
all right, yeah, X formerly Twitter very valuable. We get
a lot of we get a lot of news off that. Yeah,
you know, I mean, because everybody's a reporter. Well, the
official and the official agencies use it to disseminate information. Yeah,
(30:35):
and that never happened when it first came out, we
we we weren't even allowed on.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
The station to use Twitter as a as a source.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, now everybody uses it, and now it's it's it's
you know, it's usually first. Yeah, because everybody's a reporter,
everybody has eyes, everybody has access to social media. All right,
Moe Kelly is coming up next with Ronner the whole crew.
I'll be back at midnight till three am, So come
on back, stay with Mo and I'll be here till midnight,
midnight till three am, and then after that Valentine comes
(31:04):
in three to five am. We're live, Thank you Phil
on KFI AM six foury.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Bill Schuman is
with us from Fox to eleven News formally with NBC News.
Can we can we have a shout out to the
to the local news media, television, radio newspapers who are
on around the clock, I mean local news matters man.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Doing a great job bringing this story to everybody, and
everybody has their own story on how they were affected
and the emotion that they're going through, you know, the
the helplessness, you know, because.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Then and then what do you say, right what do
you say to someone like like David who we just
had on.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I know, and if and if you say, you know,
is there anything I can do to help? It seems
like a like a flat, sort of vague, you know,
insincere offer, But it's true.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
People will do anything. Well tell.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
One of the things you can say is let me
know how you're doing when you can. You don't need
to answer right now, or let me know what if
anything I can bring you, is it food, water, close
a book, pet, food, you know, those are something things
that can help. It's okay to cry, It's okay to scream.
You know, I'm here to listen. I'm looking at some
pointers online. You're safe in my home. Come whenever you'd like, bring,
(01:20):
bring itever you like. I mean, that's a good one.
And people need help with pets too. Let's go real
quickly to KTLA.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
There's a fire going on in Riverside brushfire breaks out
in Riverside County.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Let's find out exactly where there's.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
These regions in the area around the fire is all
in the low teens. We're looking at twelve thirteen. I
saw one even as low as eleven percent. This is
Arubo Valley at seventeen percent. So again remember that anything
below twenty percent is threatening.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Anything below launching right now in KTLA, it doesn't look
like there's any water on this fire. It looks like
just hand cruise trying to put this out and Opa Valley,
and it does not look like the wind is really
blowing around too much.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
And these percentages are below the threshold, which is why
we have a.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Right and tim This fire is burning just west of
Van Buren and just north of the ninety one freeway,
and it's right along the river.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, so let us know where on the ninety one
in regards to the fifteen, is it is it near
the fifteen?
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Wondering it is?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Let me double check. I should know where the Opa
Valley is.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
It's past the fifteen, so it's east of the fifteen
freeway and coming up on Van Buren. That's the closest
busy street to this brush fire is Van Buren.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So it's off the ninety one, east of the fifteen.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, and it's north of the of the ninety one
freeway okay.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And the river, Oh, I'm the river Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I don't understand why there's no water on this fire.
Is this a control burned? Maybe that's possible, but there's
just hand cruise on it now.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
Yeah. The according to watch Duty, they were calling it
one acre fire. It's active. No information on the containment,
but they were saying that the forward progress seems to
be slowing and the bulk of the fire has been
knocked down with an exception of this area that we're
watching currently.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, and it's in the.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
You know, right at the river bottom apparently I guess
the river's dry.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And we're watching this by now. Phil Schuman's with us.
Keep an eye on the winds. It doesn't your right,
Phil doesn't look that windy out there, which is great.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But this is what's going to be happening all night
long tonight, tomorrow Wednesday. We're just going to be on edge.
Why no water on this fire? You think it's too
far to get water in there? Makes no sense to me.
Seems like you know, it's right off, right off of
the road. Yeah, certain they can get fire engines in there.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Maybe they're letting it burn so they don't have to
come back tomorrow. Maybe this is a control burn. Is
that possible?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I don't know why they start at six o'clock at night,
not on the on the heel, not in the beginning
of a wind red flag alert. So this fire is burning.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Near the ninety one east of the fifteen group of valley,
and it looks like they have a pretty good line
around it. These guys with with shovels and rakes and
axes and and they're putting an entire line around this fire.
It looks like there might be you know, thirty guys
on this thing, and that's got to be a very
difficult job, man, very difficult. Let's pick up the audio
(04:37):
here on KTLA see we get any more information on this.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Spire rush, how tall it is, how thick it is
in that Santa Ana river bed, very dry, there's very
little water if any. So right now they're relying heavily
on the hand cruise here to cut these lines around
the fire.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Relying heavily on the hand cruise for sure. And do
we have any word on what's happening with the water
dropping helicopter.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Yeah, on the way out here, about five minutes out
from the fire, I did hear them talking about ordering
up a helicopter or two to help battle the fire.
We're still keeping an eye out for those helicopters to
come in and we'll hopefully they'll get here soon because
we don't want that fire to get beyond the lines
they're cutting, because, especially in the direction it's traveling right now,
(05:25):
the hot spots there and let me look for Ember's
going out further and starting brush.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
On fire in between Van Buren and right along the
river that.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Are on that side, anything that comes their way. So
they have that bank and then the homes, I think
to get this out and.
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Gil a few moments ago you showed us the neighborhood
that is just Jason, I think you said Rutland Avenue,
can you show us what's going on, because we started
to see some people moving around in that area, and
it looked like if they were not evacuating, they were
at least getting ready, perhaps smelling the smoke and seeing
the flames there in the distance.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
Yeah, or everybody's on the let me bring up our
map here so you can see the overlay on that
and DiMaggio Street, and it looks like we have some
vehicles moving through the area. Let's see if they mean
just from.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Watching this attast, some minutes of flames are.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Lesser, right, Well, maybe there's not many people home at
this hour. You would think not a whole lot of activity.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
With all the criticism of no water, and so I
think that they would try to doubt this thing.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Immedia and show you again this is a Rutland ab
and it looked like there was more activity on Rutland
here with the people.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But they've called in for a couple of helicopters.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
They have the hose lines pulled.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
There's also fire trucks here that in the neighborhood that
are going to put any spot.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Fires a little coldest.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And now CNN's pick this up as National.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
You're leaving the scene, so it looks like maybe some
people are are deciding to evacuate themselves. We still haven't
heard anything about official evacuations, but more and more fire,
and at this point the fire is actually looking a
lot better than when we just arrived a few minutes ago.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Yeah, it certainly is these guys walking right through that
fire a.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Little bit, but of cutting the branches down with those powers,
the fact a lot of theseus are inmates.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
These guys are area with gusts of twenty five miles
per hour, and that certainly is enough to take those
embers from this fire.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
You're saying, I saw a statistic.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I find this number high, but thirty percent of the
firefighters battling the California wildfires are the are the inmate.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Course, this is a sign. There's a shopping cart in
the middle of this fire.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well, you know, when you hear about the river bottom
there you go right or even warning.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Favorite place for homeless encampments.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
And maybe perhaps you know they seem to have a
good handle on this fire at this moment, but you know,
things can change rapidly, as we've seen Sandy and you
were out.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
There, all right, we're going to keep an eye on
this fire out there in the group of valley off
the ninety one, near east of the fifteen freeway. And
on a normal day this wouldn't make anybody nervous. The
firemen would put it out and you go back to
your daily life, whatever you're doing, eating dinner with the family,
watching the Rams game, whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But not today.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Not today, everybody's on edge, and you know, everybody thinks
it's going to be they're going to be next.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Well, you have to be prepared as if you could be.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's you know what's also a little bit frightening when
you're like us, we're glued to like the TV and
the radio. Is that a lot of times they're run file.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Tape and you're not clear like yet, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But then you realize, oh, that's video from Tuesday night,
which I don't think is a good practice. You should
stay current, right, But yeah, because it scares people, you
know what, you know, who else does that? If i'm
I'll tune into the Padres do that all the time?
I tuned into a Padres game, maybe I got a
couple bucks on it, and like, oh, but.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Mcgarto just hit another home run, Like yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's like and that was from eight days ago, you know, Yeah,
watching the fire here in Riverside.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's live on CNN.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
This is still a major national story and it is
not going to go away. There's there's going to be
a lot of attention on Southern California if you notice,
and I know you're a big football fan, if you're
watching some of the playoffs this weekend, they all started
sure with let's remember the people in Southern California, and.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
There was a maz we're just watching it without audio
obviously in the studio monitors, but a major segment before
the Rams game on Southern California. So yeah, people are
in the NFL, I believe is donated millions. They're raising
money with gear, They're wearing AfD logo jerseys and caps,
so it is Look, there's no question that there's support
(10:06):
and resources that's right, are pouring in the question like
for someone like David, who we heard earlier, you're so
overwhelmed and still in shock, you're not sure who to
talk to. I should mention that Lacity dot org. You know,
I'm still getting all these press release from the city
from the county. A huge amount of information on lacity
dot org, La County dot org in terms of resources available,
(10:27):
disaster relief centers that are opening, so there is plenty
of help in the pipeline.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Excellent. We got to take a break here. I'm gonna
be back at midnight.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'll be here at seven o'clock with Phil Schuman, then
Moe Kelly comes in. I think most thing till midnight.
I'll come back midnight to three am, and then three
am Valentine will.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Be coming on.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
He's with iHeartMedia, and then and then after three o'clock
three to five, it'll be the regular wake up call,
and then Bill Handle and Gary Chan. They brought in
a bulldoz for this fire here in Riverside. We'll keep
an eye on this thing.
Speaker 9 (11:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Forty and on a lighter note and a distracted distraction
here tonight is the Rams game. It looks like the
Rams have just scored a touchdown. I think it was
a pick six, wasn't fumble fumble bumble recover And so
if if this stands, which I think it will, it's
Rams sixteen the Vikings three.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It would be nice to have been able to enjoy
like wild Card weekend, right and at Sofi Stadium and
big help for every It just seems like it's so
irrelevant in a sense now sports, how how trivial.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But I think it would have been a great distraction
for dads and sons or mothers and daughters to go
to that game for three hours and not think about
what's going on, if that.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Was even possible.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, but we'll keep an eye on that obviously.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Tonight. The big story is the winds. The winds are
coming up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
There's a fire in Rupa Valley, which is east of
the fifth I'm sorry, yeah, east of the fifteen freeway
and near the ninety one north of ninety one, east
of the fifteen freeway, right, So that's where it's near.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
At Norcombe. You know that Norco stands for North Corona.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I did not know that, Sarah. I found that a
couple of years ago. And what does Fontana stand for?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I don't know. I do not know.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
All right, let's find out more information here the Eaton
fire for people out in that area, the latest and
numbers on the Eton fire. That's one in Altadena. This
also affect parts of Pasadena and Arcadia.
Speaker 10 (12:46):
We are here in Alta Dina right now. We've been
if you're with us a little bit ago. We're taking
a drive around here looking at some of the damage
that's been done. We're right now on Maiden Lane, making
our way up Maiden Lane. We were in this general
area a little earlier. I think we passed this house
right here, kind of one of the few we've seen
standing in this area. As we go up here, let's
(13:06):
show you tell you about some of the updates we've
received from officials. Fire officials say, so far in this fire,
they have more than seven thousand structures either damaged or destroyed.
And as you look around at this view, you can
kind of see why the numbers are so high. They say,
so far here in the Eton fire area, they've got
eight deaths. And they also are having a problem with looters,
(13:28):
people who've gotten in here who are not supposed to
be in this area. They've had fifteen people arrested in
this area who are not supposed to be in this area,
some for charges like burglary and looting, some for possession
of narcotics. They are instituting a curfew that will run
from six pm to six am, and they say anybody
caught in this area during those curfew hours, they'll have
(13:49):
a zero tolerance policy. Essentially, you won't be cited and released,
and said the stead The sheriff says, you will be
booked and arrested, and the DA backed him up on that,
saying he will prosecute any cases people found in here
during the cure few, and especially those found to be
looting and taking advantage of these people who have been
evacuated and some who have lost so much. As you're
clearly seeing, and we just turned onto Beverly Way, if
(14:12):
you're keeping track of where we're at here in Beverly Way,
you see is the one house here on Beverly Way.
I get the camera back around to it there that
was still standing, but a lot of them here just
completely lost.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's unbelievablet there. You know who Chief Brian Fantasy is.
He's with the Orange County Fire Authority, Orange County Fire Authority.
I think it was his brother who had a house
in the Eton fire that he had to go there
and help his brother try to save a house. Let's
get that audio when we come back it's Conway Show.
(14:45):
Phil Shuman's with us. I'll be atill seven o'clock. Mo
Kelly takes over seven to midnight. I'll be back midnight
to three a m. Because we expecting these strong gusts,
these winds overnight into tomorrow and into Wednesday. It could
be seventy mile an hour guy, so we could relive.
It's certainly not the nightmare that we had last Tuesday.
(15:05):
But anything goes. And I think everybody listening right now
you think you're going to be next, and you're not
wrong to panic like that. You're not wrong. It is
a it is a natural instinct to be when when
so many homes have burned to the ground for no rhyme,
no reason, and this fire was so ferocious, and that
anything goes nowadays. So I do understand that kind of panic.
(15:28):
I absolutely do, especially if you live up in the hills.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
We'll be here at seven o'clock. Moll Kelly takes over.
It's hoping for the best, preparing for the worst. Yeah,
and he'll stay till midnight. Then I'll slide back midnight
to three am, three to five is Valentine and he
does mostly music, but he's a news guy. Don't if
(15:57):
you know that, I did not. Yeah, big news guy
and he's gonna be on from three to five. I
don't think I've ever opened for Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I like anybody with a one name name. I like Madonna,
Share whoopee oh that one name's great.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Beyonce. Beyonce is another one. Beyonce's donated two and a
half million dollars to the Fight to people have been
victims of these fires.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, a lot of people stepping up. Yeah, I think Disney.
I saw a headline for the Disney Corporation fifteen million.
Oh that's Rick Caruso five million to the City of
La Fire Department. Yeah, that's gonna go a long way.
There's gonna be a lot of people that need it,
and hopefully that money can get in the hands pretty
quickly if you go, if you have anything to donate.
I think they're still taking donations. I'm not sure it's
(16:45):
sant Anita. I know what the Rose Bowler are taking donations. Well,
the Dream Center is even that partnership with iHeartMedia.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
The next few days yeah, right, you can go to
the website and get details on that.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I've never seen a how a giving you know, a
sort of a support location has expanded so quickly like
sant Anita.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, I mean it's incredible.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And the people organizations are saying, we don't want clothes
right now, right, I mean, I think the best thing
to do if you're not sure what to do right now,
donate money to the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, whatever
your favorite legitimate organization is.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I know that you know that people do need distractions,
and if you need a good one right now. The
Rams are up by two touchdowns with forty five seconds
left in the second quarter and they're already in field
goal range.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Is that Nikula?
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Yeah, who was injured before and he's back.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So it's always interesting when you're on the radio and
you're encouraging people to turn off the radio or your
app to turn on the TV or do you just
think people are going to do both at the same time. Well,
here's a Robin our former boss would get what's the
answer to get down on me for this, But here's
here's what Oh, touchdown Rams, touchdown Rams all right, so
(18:05):
the Rams are now up by twenty points, and if
they get the pat up by twenty one going.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
To the half, that's great. So then so here's the theory. Good.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Her theory was, why would you tell people to shut
the radio off to go watch TV? But I have
a I have a different theory. I think if I
didn't say anything and people miss the games, they're like, oh,
screw that guy. He was selfish with his ratings and
he could have told me the game was on. I
would have gone back to him, But now I don't
trust that he tells me everything.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, second one not buying, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The second one is you know they're going to come
back if if they are at the station that tells
you everything that's going on, all the interesting crap that's
going on. Like if I didn't say the Rams game
was going on right now, I would feel like I'm
lying to the audience.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
So the management philosophy of don't remind them because that
means they'll turn you off and turn that on.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
You're not you're not buying that. I'm not bothered by
it because we did that all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We'd have this argument at Fox eleven where they'd cb
a football game or a baseball game on an unrival network.
And so when the five o'clock news or the six
o'clock news, we wouldn't mention it because we feel like
we're reminding people to watch the competition.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Right Like if I if I'm listening to Petro some Money,
which is on another station, and they say, oh, we're watching,
you know, the Lakers. You know, with twenty seconds left
it's tied. I'll go watch the Laker game. But I
appreciate them ten men come back. I appreciate them telling
you know.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree
with different philosophy, different philosophy. But I think if you
and I are watching that game and we're not telling
the audience that I think we're lying to, well, I
also think that we're also like our kids would have
six screens open in front of them. They'd have the TV,
they'd have their iPad, right, they'd have their phone, they'd
have a second tea, and they can watch they can
(19:51):
watch the game while still listening to KFI. Yeah, you know,
but for the RAMS to be up by Nobody predicted
that the Rams up by twenty one point that this
holds twenty one points going into the half. So they're
gonna interview Sean, Sean Payton, Sean McVeigh live at that
break at halftime. Right, you can almost guess what they're
(20:12):
gonna and so Sean, you be Sean, So, coach, what
are you going to tell your team at halftime to
make sure they maintain this lead? Well, the game plan
that we came up with over the weekend is sticking.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We got to make sure to tighten up the defense.
You got to avoid some injuries, and you know, all
we have got to do is come out and make
sure that our defense is it holds them in the
second half. We'll be fine. Coach, thanks for your time.
That's right, That's it. They always say the same thing.
It's but yet they continue to do it.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Well. First of all, they're required to do it.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
But there's no surprising evolation there every Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Greg Popovich, right the Spurs coaches is the classic one
because he just doesn't play the game.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
He just will say, you know, hey, what do you
ask me that for it? And then Aaron Andrews, who's
on the sidelines, she'll interview a guy at the end
of the of the game, and then she always tells
him what to do, like go be with you, get
on that bus, Go get on that busy, Go get
yourself a turkey leg on Thanksgiving, go this, go there,
bothers you to that. No, it's just like you notice it.
(21:15):
It's a I don't know if it's a crutch or what,
but I notice that. But you know, she's married to
Jared the guy used to play for the La Kings
and he won two Stanley Cups with the La Kings.
He won in twenty twelve, in twenty fourteen, and he's
married and to Aaron Andrews.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
What a life this guy's got going?
Speaker 9 (21:33):
Well?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Sure, I mean Aaron Andrews, she's great. I think yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I mean I am a student of and a fan
of the coverage of the games, you know, being in
TV and being big sports actually started my alleged career
in sports.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
What about Tom Brady, I.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Think Tom Brady, I say, I give him a B
for season one, and I think he's made progress. I mean,
imagine how hard it is to be brilliant, funny and concise,
you know, in between every play and you've never done
it before.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I think he's doing a great job. I think he
brings the perspective that nobody else and hey, it's it's
a TV show. He's a star's right, and he brings
star power to it. So that's why they paid him.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
What is it, thirty seven million dollars a year while
they're laying off, you know, people in other parts of
the company. I think I like his Yeah, who doesn't
love Tom Brady?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Is you all right?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
So it is halftime. The Rams are up by twenty
one points. At halftime it is twenty four to three Rams.
They're not playing at Sofi Stadium. What a game that
would have been at Solfi Stadium? Yeah, would have been exciting.
Have you been to games at so Far?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I went to a Chargers stealers. Sofi Stadium is like
another world.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It's like the Grand It's like when you see the
Grand Canyon for the first Yeah, that's what the stadium
is like.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's like a multisensory overload. It's it's incredible. Yeah, all right,
ween'll come back. We're gonna wrap up.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Plus we're gonna have from Da Hawkman and updated criminal
charges on people that thought it'd be interesting to loot.
He's got another thought for you. It's called prison for
a long time. He's going to be putting a lot
of guys that works for me. Yeah, for a long time.
Welcome back mo Kelly at seven o'clock till midnight. I'm
(23:17):
coming back midnight to three a m. And then Valentine
three at a five am and then regular programming Amy King,
Bill Handle, Garyan Shannon, and John Colba.
Speaker 9 (23:28):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Phil Schuman is with us. I really appreciate you coming in. Well,
look to me, it's a privilege to be here.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I mean, I think we're doing important work, letting people
know what's going on, keeping them up to date, accurate information.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, and Moe Kelly takes over at seven, he'll go
to midnight. I'll be back midnight to three with a
lot more information. We've got high winds coming in tonight.
That's why I'm coming back at midnight. Yeah, we do
not needto Wednesday. Wednesday. You know, back in the old days,
it was like a one day event. Now it's like
good So now we're all on edge for another two days.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Everybody thinks they're going to be next they're gonna be.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So if you don't have a bag packed and a
plan made at this point, then you should.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
You have to really, you got to get the valuables together. Fortunately,
my wife has has done that. She's ready to go whenever,
you know, whenever anybody says evacuate, We're gone. We are done.
I don't know where we're going, but we're not sticking
around the house.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
All right, Well, i'd say you could come to my house,
but yeah, I know, you know a lot of people
say hey, do you want to come to my house.
Then if you say yeah, you're like, ah, no, you
can come to my house. Yeah, I'm not that far away.
I'm in Studio City. We did we did evacuate as
a precaution on that Sunset fire there was up near
Runyon Canyon.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You know, I think a lot of people in la
are are very giving and very and have big hearts
and would do anything for anybody. But I think there's
also a group of people where you say, hey, is
there anything I can do for you? And they said, yeah,
do you mind holding my dogs for weeks? They're like, ah, christ,
don't say it if you don't mean it. I didn't
think we were going to say, yes, your dogs. What
(25:06):
kind of dogs you have?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Man, I look, we got dogs of our own. Why
don't you find somebody you know that's that kind of crab.
You know, it's unbelievable, all right, da hokman A right,
here's he's he's putting his fist down, putting the big guy,
you know, the hammer down on anybody looting.
Speaker 11 (25:23):
So again, with respect to all these charges, as I
said before, these charges are not evidence, and they are
presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. But
this shows the effectiveness of law enforcement. So when I said,
and I have been saying over the net past couple
of days, the question is not if, but when you
will be caught if you engage in these crimes. The
(25:47):
ten charges or ten different individuals that have been charged
today are evidence of that.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Fact, and they're going away for a long time if
they're found guilty.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
And the warning shot remains, do not go ahead and
engage in looting, engage in internet scams, engage in price gouging,
do not violate evacuation orders, and do not commit any
of these crimes in which people are trying to profit
from the tragedy of the people who have suffered from
(26:18):
these various fires.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
All right, here's another update here. Let's see if any
more information from our new dam today.
Speaker 11 (26:25):
We're here to announce that the promise that we made
when we started this that these criminals would be arrested,
they would be prosecuted, and they will be maximally punished,
is a promise we are keeping. As we announced today,
the charges being filed on ten different.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Okay, so that's about the same audio.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Let me ask you a question when it comes to
price gouging. There was a guy in the San Fernando
Valley who was offering a two bedroom, two bathroom house
to rent, and he said, I think it was at
twenty five No, it was a thirty five hundred dollars
and he's going to it for thirty five hundred bucks.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
It was.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
It was online and some guy said, I'll give you
five grand a month for that house if he takes
that offer. Is that price gouging?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Really, but market rate. You're saying someone offers offer, you're
not charging them. I'm going to say yes.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Really.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm not an attorney, I would think it's not. I
think if somebody is willing to pay you more. You
don't ask for it to paying you more to you know,
to secure that house. I think that's uh, you know,
that's free market. You might be right, I mean that's
a that's a good question. Have to do some research
on that. Maybe when you come back it you'll know
that when I make with you tonight. Now I have
(27:40):
your phone number, Yeah, I'll give you a jingle. All right,
here is the latest. We are going to get crazy wins.
They may not be what we had last week, hopefully
they're not, but they're strong enough for the Weather Service
to put out some warnings again. And they've said between
twenty three and thirty mile an hour steady winds in
(28:01):
some areas with gus up to seventy miles an hour. Yeah,
it's an unusual term that the National Weather Service uses,
a particularly dangerous situation a PDS.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, and they were right, you know they were, they
were absolute right. I wish that we all knew this
last week. The I know, we we heard about the severity,
but I wish we were all more more, you know,
aware of how bad this was going to be.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I wish they had done more in terms of bringing
resources in on on Monday and Tuesday instead of on
Thursday and Friday. But again, high sight, hindsight's twenty twenty, right, Yeah,
And and you know it would have been nice.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You're right when the fires initially broke out that the
Oregon helped, the home helped. We had seventy firefighters from
Mexico come in. It had been nice if they were
here that night, the first night, if they had water too,
But they weren't. And what we found out today on
this show, and and I can't I still can't believe this,
but Phil Schumann confirmed it.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
There's not a.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
General, overall universal hookup for hydrants.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
They vary by state.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
So if you're a firefighter from Oregon, you may not
have the hookup for a California hydrant have to get
an adapter, now do they do?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
They vary by county. They got ready by region by region. Yeah,
so it may be that the West has a universal.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Hookup.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
That would have been a good question to ask one
of those firefighters. We'll have to keep track of these questions.
I think we have Steve Krieger coming on tonight. He's
a retired LA County firefighter. We'll see if we cannot
pick his brain. But isn't that a tremendous oversight. You
wouldn't even think of that. Yes, yeah, exactly. Look, garden
hose is universal. You know, every garden hose you have,
it's either a three quarter inch or half inch and
(29:49):
but the but the ends are the same. You know,
they're all the same.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You know, one and a half inchos or one inchos
and three quarter inchos the actual nozzle you know that
goes on to the spigot. They're all this, but yet
in firefighting they're different. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Yeah,
it's odd, really really odd. But I really appreciate coming in.
Thanks for having me. I would give out your social media,
but I know you're not on. No, don't worry social media,
Fox Phil, Fox fil Foxville.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
And Instagram and the x X don't don't don't criticize
the X during during disasters. It's a source of valuable information, yes,
all right, yeah, X formerly Twitter very valuable. We get
a lot of we get a lot of news off that. Yeah,
you know, I mean, because everybody's a reporter. Well, the
official and the official agencies use it to disseminate information. Yeah,
(30:35):
and that never happened when it first came out, we
we we weren't even allowed on.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
The station to use Twitter as a as a source.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, now everybody uses it, and now it's it's it's
you know, it's usually first. Yeah, because everybody's a reporter,
everybody has eyes, everybody has access to social media. All right,
Moe Kelly is coming up next with Ronner the whole crew.
I'll be back at midnight till three am, So come
on back, stay with Mo and I'll be here till midnight,
midnight till three am, and then after that Valentine comes
