Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The idea of going up in one of those spacecrafts
to the space station where you'll do scientific stuff, you'll
interact with other astronauts from other exotic lands, Russians, Japanese,
et cetera, it might capture the imagination for some of you.
(00:30):
I think it is sort of a you know, when
you think about the sort of sci fi presentations of
life up there, it can be kind of romanticized. The
more I see, the more I realize where you need
a level of dedication and tolerance for that small space
and for the obvious compromises you have to be making
(00:52):
on everything from you know, personal hygiene to the way
you eat. So when these astronauts go up, and they're
supposed to go up for seven to ten days and
it turns into a mission that is kind of open ended,
(01:13):
I got to think that's a tough one for me.
It would be a really tough psychological pill to swallow.
But that said, I think these are a different breed
of people, and b they were somewhat knowledgeable of the
fact that and aware of the fact that they were likely.
I'll just put it this way, it was possible that
(01:33):
they might have to remain in space longer than the
prescribed time they went up there on Boeing Starliner capsule.
What could possibly go wrong aside from everything? NASA announcing
the latest delay. Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams, they will
is it Sonny co? Okay, thank you? You know what
(01:54):
on my show today, I said Sonny and my newsperson Kim,
you know it's Sunny.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Sonny Goshi says Sonny. There's audio of her. Yeah, Sonny.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
God, I just want to right now call Kim and
tell her that, you know, when you're corrected there on
the air like that and you're corrected incorrectly, Yeah, Tody regis.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah. Her full first.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Name is Sunita, which she says Sunita but Sonny, she says, Sonny.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That is great, So it's Sonny anyway. Butch and Sonny
their homecoming is going to be delayed.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Originally it looked like they were coming home in February.
Now it's been pushed yet again. We're looking at a
late March return for Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams. NASA
says This is to allow engineers more time to process
a brand new SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft that will bring
(02:55):
their replacement crew to the International Space Station. The two
astronauts survived at the ISS in early June for what
was originally expected to be an a day mission to
test Boeing's new star Liner spacecraft.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It really is sort of a Gilligan's Island type thing, right.
It was to have been a three hour tour, and
before you know it, you're up for five seasons. Pretty crazy.
I mean, even the rescue mission that was designed to
scoop them up and bring them back and bring another
crew up there, that had to be delayed over and
(03:31):
over again. That's what this is about.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Originally expected to be an a day mission to test
Boeing's new star Liner spacecraft, but intermittent thruster problems led
NASA to bring Starliner back to Earth without humans on board,
and instead assigned Butch and Sunny to return on another
SpaceX Crew Dragon.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Man, hey, I want to play some audio here.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Exploration is curiosity. It's asking the question, why is making
that next step? Every time we do something for the
first time, we're expanding our knowledge. My name is Sunny Williams,
and I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Send me that. Please send me that audio. I'm going
to run it on my show tomorrow. I do a
show on YouTube, a lot of news and stuff, and
we did that story and I saw I said, Sonny Williams,
and my newsperson said.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It's Sunny Williams.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
She's always looking to correct me, and I'm almost I'm
almost infallible croche.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I seldom make an error.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
This is true, and I'm always correct Thompson.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And so she waits, she lies and waits, and then
she corrects me on something that isn't even something she
knows to be true.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I can't wait just for the idea of what you're
going to do to me.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yes, I will be rotisserie her anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
My hope for the iss Astronauts is for a smooth return.
I mean, the one thing that surprises me about these
First of all, they seem like ultra cool people Sonny
and Barry as astronauts, but their age surprises me. She
(05:15):
is fifty nine and he is sixty one. I thought
astronauts were usually younger than that, but apparently not. That
starliner is the other thing that surprises me. I mean
it was beset with technical problems, that propulsion system issues.
They literally you just heard it in the report, brought
(05:37):
that capsule back to Earth without anybody on it. Boeing
has got to have a serious conversation with itself. I
mean now, of course, SpaceX is their top NASA partner.
SpaceX is handling it all. So there have been no
(05:59):
public plates from Sonny or Barry, the two NASA astronauts.
Barry has not said anything that has been at all disturbing.
They're handling it on the down low. So they're going
to come home alongside Nick Haig and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbanov,
(06:23):
but again that won't be until late March or early April.
William's mother told the Wall Street Journal. That's Barry. I'm sorry,
that's Sonny. Williams's mother said to the Wall Street Journal
that she hears from her daughter nearly every other day,
and her daughter sounds fine and not worried about anything.
(06:47):
By the way, the ISS, according to NASA, has enough oxygen, food,
and supplies for however long they need to stay in space.
Resupply flights brought items for the ISS crew to celebrate
the holidays, which is kind of nice. A holiday in
space that feels like a little bit of an after
school special sort of movie made for TV.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You know, it's the best place to see Santa.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Yeah, you're right, I mean you can.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
The first place to see Santa is from that International
Space station. I see two things, A warm, wonderful holiday
movie or a terrorizing sci fi Christmas in space scary movie.
(07:39):
I see both those pitches there, but I like the
warm holiday movie that then turns into Okay, now.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
When we come back, what are we doing? When we
come back? We're doing? What are we doing when we
come back? Partner around Matt, No, we are? Oh, I
know what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh my god, I know, and I know I didn't
think of it. There was that horrible thing that happened
on board that cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean cruise Ship.
Did you hear about this? It's wild. I'll tell you
about it next.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I don't know how many of you were cruisers, how
many of you have been on the Royal Caribbean cruise
ship before, But there was an incident a Royal Caribbean
passenger reportedly drunk and unruly attacking crew members and then
in a weird twist, because I don't think that were
(08:40):
this just a story about somebody being drunk and unruly
on a cruise ship, we would even be talking about it.
But in a weird twist, this person died shortly after
being detained. It's a bizarre story on a cruise ship
setting sail for ends.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The gentleman that was drunk.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
Said that he was going to kill us, and then
he started chasing us down the hallway.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
Chaos on a cruise caught on camera.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
Our first time ever going on a real vacation kind
of thing, like you know, going into international waters and
going to Mexico.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
And so Christopher McHale sets sailed Incinata to celebrate he
and his wife's birthdays and their anniversary Friday with a
dozen family and friends for a long weekend aboard Royal
Caribbean's navigator of the Seas.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Oh my god, with that setup like when good times go.
Speaker 10 (09:33):
Bad, not even an hour outside of the port of
San Pedro, and Christopher McHale went back to his room
to put his phone on the charger, grab a jacket
and watch an action movie on the top deck when
all of a sudden, the action.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Came to him.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Is this all?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This happened an hour into the cruise? I mean, how
drunk can you get an hour into the cruise?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (09:54):
I was waiting for them to say cut and come
out of the rooms.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
But there it was.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Real life Events.
Speaker 10 (10:00):
Captures these videos showing a man in a possible drunken
fit of rage, spewing profanity and racial slurs.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
The crewmember that I was running with was able to
lock himself in one of the towel rooms. I was
kind of scared because I was like, dude, like I'm
stuck in this hallway. Everybody else is kind of like
behind something.
Speaker 10 (10:20):
Michale says. The now shirtless man drives to kick down
the door with his steel toed boots. After kicking a
crew number in the face and punching another, You're.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
Gonna flick me and just throwing me like thirty feet
because the guy he punched kind of flew a couple
of feet back.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Armed with pepper spray towels, zip ties, and handcuffs, this
security team is finally able to move.
Speaker 9 (10:44):
In kind of acted like swat team and set up
like a barrier and then they attacked, so they just
waited for him to kind of run out of energy.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Michale spends the rest.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
This is a I mean an hour into a cruise
ship ride. This is truly extraordinary. And this guy must
have shown up pretty drugged up, is my guess, and
I'm guessing that's maybe the underlying reason that he lost
his life in all of this.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
Michael spends the rest of his vacation talking with Royal
Caribbean management and the FBI about this incident.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
Everybody kind of like dogpiled him. The ship does have
two jails down there, and he was like in there
this entire time. And yeah, it's kind of sucks that
it happened the first couple hours of the vacation.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
So it's like he.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Kind of crypt to Mexico.
Speaker 9 (11:39):
Yeah, he kind of ruined it for his family.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I got it, Christian, really did you hear that? Yeah,
so the trip to Mexico is kind of a no bueno,
is what you're saying. Yeah, wow, I respect somebody a
reporter has got, you know, always looking for the quick
hit you.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The idea though that he was drunken, unruly seems clear,
but apparently he lost his life, right, and that's what
is hearing The story not mentioned in that report, but
Royal Caribbean has confirmed the passenger's death. That's why I
(12:27):
say there has to be drugs or something else underlining it.
I mean, you can't tell me an hour into a
cruise you're that drunk that you know, you get so
juiced up you start yelling the stuff and kicking doors
in and all the rest. It just doesn't make any sense.
The thirty five year old guy, he was traveling with
(12:50):
his fiance and seven year old son. I mean, you know,
this picture just doesn't make sense. And then you're just
essentially hearing these witness accounts of the sort that we
just heard. But and you've no doubt either seen the
(13:10):
video or you just heard the audio from the video,
which is the guy trying to punch a door and
crew members are trying to speak with him and talk
him down, and he was asking God to forgive him. Apparently,
in a statement, Royal Caribbean said, we're saddened by the
passing of one of our guests. We offered support to
(13:32):
the family. We're working with authorities on the investigation. An
FBI situation. They're investigating in the incident on board, and
they are not providing any further information. The family says
this is not consistent with his usual behavior.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
To me, it feels like drugs or something like a
almost like a meth high or whatever. But I don't know,
just based on what I'm hearing. You go on a
Royal Caribbean cruise to en Sonata with your fiance and child,
and an hour into it, you just start tearing the
place apart. Seems incredible. I've seen some fights on cruise ships, though,
(14:18):
I don't mind telling you. You know, usually the fights are,
you know, over the last cross song at a breakfast
buffet or something. You know, they have these immense buffets.
They're just incredible, and I've seen some people knock each
other out of the way to get to, you know,
the last piece of cake or what they feel may
(14:40):
be the last piece of cake, because they take that
stuff up right on time, Like you know, when that
buffet ends at ten am. Ye at ten am, they
are like a well oiled machine. They pull that food up.
I've seen some pretty u nasty situations, but nothing that
would rival this anyway, I would say, saddest, weirdest end
(15:06):
and beginning to a Royal Caribbean cruise that I've ever
heard of. What's the future of TikTok? We'll talk about
it next.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Luigi the man who has captured a lot of attention
nationwide and worldwide, but particularly nationwide. He's become a divisive figure.
This Luigi, Luigi Mangioni. He gunned down that healthcare executive
Brian Thompson, and Luigi is now being charged with first
(15:48):
degree murder in New York. I think when we talked
yesterday it was second degree, and I was mentioning.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
To you that I talked to an.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Attorney, David Katz, actually here in southern California, and he
was saying that the reason it was second degree, And
it's kind of hard to believe that it was second
degree murdered. The guy lies in wait for this dude,
right and then comes out of the shadows and kills
him in cold blood on a Manhattan the street. And
that's a second degree. I mean, what do you have
(16:17):
to do to get first degree? But it was explained
to me by David that that's because of certain idiosyncrasies
and details in the New York legal setup when it
comes to murder. Now, what they've done is they've upcharged
him with terrorism now and they've made that a first
(16:39):
degree charge. So again, he'll be extradited from Pennsylvania and
he'll go to New York, and this eleven count indictment
secured by the Manhattan District Attorney's office, we'll have him
facing federal charges out of the Southern District of New York,
(17:02):
and life is going to get pretty grim for Luigi.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Luigi has also.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Picked up all this support because we all know how
broken the healthcare system is. I mean not to suggest
that this is a solution, but the conversation around the
healthcare and private insurance.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
And healthcare set.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Up in this country is essentially, i'd suggest in most
forums created a kind of open conversation about how broken
things are. So it may be that this system of
healthcare emerged and evolved over a long period of time
(17:46):
and a patchwork of this change and that change, but
we all know it doesn't work. And Obamacare brought the
insurance companies in and there were certain virtual aspects of
obamacarey pre existing conditions for example, and this sort of
thing that also the lifting of a cap for example
(18:08):
on prescription medications and medications you may need for various treatments.
But the insurance companies helped build that legislation. As a result,
you end up with something that favors the insurance companies,
and so that conversation now is being held openly. Still,
Luigi has got this cult of support. Again, some of
(18:31):
it's related to the healthcare somewhere. It's related because he's
this handsome dude. He's a handsome, young, smart guy who
did something horrible and Chris Rock did you see you?
On SNL? Chris Rock had a great reference to just that.
How Luigi's rise to kind of romanticized figure in American
(18:53):
pop culture has a lot to do with how good
looking he is.
Speaker 12 (18:56):
We got Luigi. We got Luigi, you know, and that's good.
I really feel sorry for the for the family.
Speaker 13 (19:04):
I mean, everybody's fixated on how good looking this guy.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
He looks.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
If you look like Jonah Hittle, no one would care.
They'd already given him a chair, already be dead. Okay,
he actually killed a man. I'm a man, a man
with a family, a.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Man with kids.
Speaker 12 (19:26):
Man.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
I mean I have condolences, have real condolences for you know,
the healthcare ceo. I mean, this is a real person,
you know, but you also got a you know, sometimes
drug dealers get shot.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
I mean you've seen the wire, right.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's a cold world, man, It's a cold world.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Dad.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
He pulled the wire too.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I know, a great wire reference, very strong there, he's
stuck the landing. Chris Rock was pretty namn funny on SNL. Well,
Luigi's still a big deal on TikTok. There's every manner
of a conspiracy theory still as to you, the fact
that he's being made the fall guy. He's not the
real killer. And TikTok is filled with information, good information,
(20:23):
and conspiracy theories and a bunch of other stuff. But
TikTok has become one of these key platforms that has
helped raise the profile of Luigi and a lot of
other conversations. And Supreme Court's going to hear arguments over
TikTok's effort to block this federal ban on TikTok. So
(20:44):
the plan is that TikTok will be banned if it's
not sold by January nineteenth. I mean that is the
plan right now in this country. The idea is that
the TikTok sale could be forced unless the Supreme Court
(21:05):
rules in TikTok's favor. TikTok has one hundred and seventy
million US users, and the idea somehow that TikTok's is
going away. You can forget about that. TikTok is not
going away.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I think it's just a matter of like it being
on platforms that you can download the app and stuff
like that if you have it currently.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
If you have it currently, you're.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Saying on your phone, I think it's not going anywhere
for you, right, I see, it's basically the access to
the app if you don't already have it, or some
aspect to that. I've heard that their argument, their main
arguments basically just going to be free.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Speech exactly First Amendments, and so I guess.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
The question is is that does free speech apply to.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Foreigners that are in the.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
US, meaning because it's a Chinese holding company.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Right, Because that, to me, that's the only argument against
the First Amendment argument. He's like, well, you're Chinese owned,
it doesn't apply to you.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Yeah, on that argument.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You'd think that TikTok would prevail because foreigners in this
country have the same rights to First Amendment as do naturalized.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Citizens, and the Supreme Courts also said that corporations are
people anyway.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
So right, you'd think.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
On the other hand, these Supreme Court decisions kind of
have the feel of being reverse engineered, like they come
up with the decision that they're gonna make ahead of time,
and then they work the law back to get to
that decision. So I don't know where they sit on
the TikTok thing. I'll tell you if they If they
do uphold the ban, that ban goes into effect the
(22:43):
day after Trump takes office. And Trump, I thought, has said.
I don't know if he's weighed in on the TikTok thing.
I think he has. What does he say? He says,
that's what I thought. I thought he was okay with TikTok. Yeah,
he loves social media, you know, so I this is key.
I don't know anyway. January tenth is the date that
(23:06):
they'll hear this argument the Supreme Court, and they've moved
it up because of the deadline being the nineteenth. It
has to be sold by January nineteenth. If the ban
is upheld, Moe Kelly is coming up at seven. Maybe
we'll grab a word with Mo as we continue. Next
Conway showed ding Dong. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. It's a holly,
(23:29):
jolly Christmas, the best.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Time of the year.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Oh is minutes away. I know you're all swept up
in Droneville. What is the story with the drones. I've
got a different kind of drones story. I mean, I'd
be happy to talk to Moe about the drod and thing.
I'd actually be curious to know what Moe thinks. All
of these thousands of drones are in the Jersey Skies
(24:01):
and even spotted here in southern California. And I don't
know that these aren't copycat situations. But there is a
federal prison at a military installation that is complaining about
multiple drone incursions this year because people are trying to
do what if you guess smuggle contraband, you are a winner.
(24:25):
This is the new way to get contraband into a
federal prison facility. This is a prison facility at a
military installation. A spokesperson for joint based McGuire Dix Lakerst
which houses the FCI Fort Dix Prison, said that measures
(24:45):
are now in place to detect, respond and deny unauthorized
drone use over our facilities, but apparently they have been
inundated with various drone vehicles trying to smuggle contraband into
this federal prison. This year, there have been multiple drone detections,
(25:06):
all involving attempts to smuggle contraband into the federal correctional
institution hosted on our base. A spokesperson said, we take
each case seriously and aggressively coordinate with local law enforcement
to ensure the safety and security of our installation.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
What kind of contraband? Anybody want to guess?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Cell Phones yes, cell phone accessories yes, Drugs yes, Tobacco yes.
But here's one that will surprise you. Weight loss supplements.
I know you did not have that on your list.
In any case, the fight against contraband continues. How about
(25:52):
it from O Kelly who has just walked into the studio.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
I love it Ozimpic is being dropped into apparently.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Did you see that huge bust of that lady in
Tennessee who is essentially selling discounted ozempic and other related drugs.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
But it's not really ozempic. It's just like that's the
way it usually is, this counterfeit, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
They I mean, apparently there's a big business because people
can't get this stuff and it's very expensive.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
And they probably see that, well it's it's only one
tenth the price.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, if it's ozempi ish, it works for me, you
know what I mean? So I pay a little less,
but I get a little less, all right, but it
still sort of works.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
They had something similar happened with the uh like the
viagra market, where men didn't weren't willing to get the
prescription grade stuff, where they didn't want to have the
consultation and put their name out there. So they're buying
this half assed stuff online and sometimes it was real,
sometimes it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I got a lot of those served to me
the U you know, in the junk mail. Yeah, I
don't get it as much now because it all goes
to junk. But that discount, viagra discount whatever. You know,
how do they know that in moments? You know a
lot of times they don't. You're just hoping I see. Yeah,
(27:15):
I don't know. I'm just saying, you know, hypothetically, theoretically,
shouldn't take it personally.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Yeah, no, I think it's sent to everyone.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Okay, I think what's on the big mo Kelly show?
What are you focusing on?
Speaker 11 (27:29):
Well, we got to talk about the twelve people who
were injured today in that Metro bus crash. Metro was
doing so well for a while without any bad news
surrounding it.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Well, that goes all away today with that crash today,
Oh my god.
Speaker 11 (27:41):
And as we always talk about a later with mo Keller,
we talk about the evolution of our economy and many
industries which may be going away. USC newspaper, the Daily
Trojan is going to be printing less due to unpaid staff.
The whole idea of a campus newspaper maybe no more.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Well this is interesting too, because when I saw that,
I thought, you know, our newspaper. I used to do
a little work for them, and it was always unpaid.
But they have staff there that is paid.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Not only that, there were printing costs, there were budgetary concerns.
You know, it's not done for free, but there were
pair paid staff at all college and university papers.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
But let me just okay, follow up on this for
a second, because I saw the number of one hundred
thousand dollars, Like that's what they're short.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Yeah, one hundred deficits at USC.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I mean you're tripping over one hundred thousand dollars at
USC on your way to class.
Speaker 11 (28:34):
I think it's more of they're just not going to
pay it anymore, not that they couldn't pay anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Okay, that that makes sense then yeah, yeah, they just
decided they're out of the newspaper on campus business, right.
Speaker 11 (28:44):
I mean, look there, they're not getting as much money
as they used to for getting students on campus who
had no business being there through the varsity glup, nevermind.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Got to make cut somewhere through the side door. Yes, yeah,
that sounds that sounds cool. Well, I you know, I
don't know. I went down to USC. I just mentioned
this show was like a guest lecturer and a couple
of a couple of times in the last couple of years.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Gosh, man, it's it's nice down there.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
It's really nice. It's really just don't step off the campus.
But it's changed so much in the past ten to
fifteen years. It has, it really has.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It was much more dangerous, like don't step off fifteen
years ago, now you're probably okay stepping off.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, that things we're gonna go too far. That was fun.
What else do you have?
Speaker 11 (29:30):
We've got to talk about Walmart is testing body cams,
not that they're actually going to do anything and arrest you,
but they want to have more evidence as far as
interactions with customers who may become unruly or escalate situation.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Sure, sure, absolutely, and that may be the wave of
the future.
Speaker 11 (29:46):
And we have a story, because we always talk about
cruising Royal Caribbean. There was a ship passenger who died
while in quote unquote custody of ship's security after going
on a rampage on a ship. But people don't know
it's the exact same ship, the exact same itinerary that
Tawaula and I were on on Labor Day weekends. So
(30:08):
we're going to provide some insights and other people cannot.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
The one detail that really struck me about that story
was that this entire incident with this guy who was
so unruly it started an hour into the cruise. Now
that strikes me as extraordinary, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
Let me just tell you this, okay, the liquor starts
flowing from the moment you are on the ship.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
I see, I see, and there are a lot of
people who already hit the ship running.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
In other words, they're already well lubricated by the time
they get on the shop.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That was my theory that he came loaded and we
don't know what he was loaded on. Right, it sounds
to me like he was so aggressive. Yeah, you can't
bring on.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
Let's say, cannabis products, but it doesn't mean that you're
not already having ingested them by the time you get
on the ship.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Ship.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
But the aggression that leads me to believe it wasn't it.
Speaker 11 (30:57):
It could be any number of things, That's what I'm saying.
When you start and all those things together, I see,
I see, you just don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I love that you guys were actually on that very ship.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
That particular ship.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
Now, not this when it happens, but the ship involved.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I love it all right. They'll lay it all bare.
They x ray that situation on Royal Caribbean. Mo Kelly
is next. Thanks everybody, Conway kids, Bella and Matt Krozier,
Angel everybody listeners. We'll talk tomorrow Moe Kelly. The magic
(31:33):
begins in minutes, Mark Thompson saying, so long, KFI AM
six forty We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
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 KFI Am six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The idea of going up in one of those spacecrafts
to the space station where you'll do scientific stuff, you'll
interact with other astronauts from other exotic lands, Russians, Japanese,
et cetera, it might capture the imagination for some of you.
(00:30):
I think it is sort of a you know, when
you think about the sort of sci fi presentations of
life up there, it can be kind of romanticized. The
more I see, the more I realize where you need
a level of dedication and tolerance for that small space
and for the obvious compromises you have to be making
(00:52):
on everything from you know, personal hygiene to the way
you eat. So when these astronauts go up, and they're
supposed to go up for seven to ten days and
it turns into a mission that is kind of open ended,
(01:13):
I got to think that's a tough one for me.
It would be a really tough psychological pill to swallow.
But that said, I think these are a different breed
of people, and b they were somewhat knowledgeable of the
fact that and aware of the fact that they were likely.
I'll just put it this way, it was possible that
(01:33):
they might have to remain in space longer than the
prescribed time they went up there on Boeing Starliner capsule.
What could possibly go wrong aside from everything? NASA announcing
the latest delay. Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams, they will
is it Sonny co? Okay, thank you? You know what
(01:54):
on my show today, I said Sonny and my newsperson Kim,
you know it's Sunny.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Sonny Goshi says Sonny. There's audio of her. Yeah, Sonny.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
God, I just want to right now call Kim and
tell her that, you know, when you're corrected there on
the air like that and you're corrected incorrectly, Yeah, Tody regis.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Yeah. Her full first.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Name is Sunita, which she says Sunita but Sonny, she says, Sonny.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That is great, So it's Sonny anyway. Butch and Sonny
their homecoming is going to be delayed.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Originally it looked like they were coming home in February.
Now it's been pushed yet again. We're looking at a
late March return for Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams. NASA
says This is to allow engineers more time to process
a brand new SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft that will bring
(02:55):
their replacement crew to the International Space Station. The two
astronauts survived at the ISS in early June for what
was originally expected to be an a day mission to
test Boeing's new star Liner spacecraft.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It really is sort of a Gilligan's Island type thing, right.
It was to have been a three hour tour, and
before you know it, you're up for five seasons. Pretty crazy.
I mean, even the rescue mission that was designed to
scoop them up and bring them back and bring another
crew up there, that had to be delayed over and
(03:31):
over again. That's what this is about.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Originally expected to be an a day mission to test
Boeing's new star Liner spacecraft, but intermittent thruster problems led
NASA to bring Starliner back to Earth without humans on board,
and instead assigned Butch and Sunny to return on another
SpaceX Crew Dragon.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Man, hey, I want to play some audio here.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
Exploration is curiosity. It's asking the question, why is making
that next step? Every time we do something for the
first time, we're expanding our knowledge. My name is Sunny Williams,
and I love that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Send me that. Please send me that audio. I'm going
to run it on my show tomorrow. I do a
show on YouTube, a lot of news and stuff, and
we did that story and I saw I said, Sonny Williams,
and my newsperson said.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
It's Sunny Williams.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
She's always looking to correct me, and I'm almost I'm
almost infallible croche.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I seldom make an error.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
This is true, and I'm always correct Thompson.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
And so she waits, she lies and waits, and then
she corrects me on something that isn't even something she
knows to be true.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I can't wait just for the idea of what you're
going to do to me.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yes, I will be rotisserie her anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
My hope for the iss Astronauts is for a smooth return.
I mean, the one thing that surprises me about these
First of all, they seem like ultra cool people Sonny
and Barry as astronauts, but their age surprises me. She
(05:15):
is fifty nine and he is sixty one. I thought
astronauts were usually younger than that, but apparently not. That
starliner is the other thing that surprises me. I mean
it was beset with technical problems, that propulsion system issues.
They literally you just heard it in the report, brought
(05:37):
that capsule back to Earth without anybody on it. Boeing
has got to have a serious conversation with itself. I
mean now, of course, SpaceX is their top NASA partner.
SpaceX is handling it all. So there have been no
(05:59):
public plates from Sonny or Barry, the two NASA astronauts.
Barry has not said anything that has been at all disturbing.
They're handling it on the down low. So they're going
to come home alongside Nick Haig and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbanov,
(06:23):
but again that won't be until late March or early April.
William's mother told the Wall Street Journal. That's Barry. I'm sorry,
that's Sonny. Williams's mother said to the Wall Street Journal
that she hears from her daughter nearly every other day,
and her daughter sounds fine and not worried about anything.
(06:47):
By the way, the ISS, according to NASA, has enough oxygen, food,
and supplies for however long they need to stay in space.
Resupply flights brought items for the ISS crew to celebrate
the holidays, which is kind of nice. A holiday in
space that feels like a little bit of an after
school special sort of movie made for TV.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You know, it's the best place to see Santa.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Yeah, you're right, I mean you can.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
The first place to see Santa is from that International
Space station. I see two things, A warm, wonderful holiday
movie or a terrorizing sci fi Christmas in space scary movie.
(07:39):
I see both those pitches there, but I like the
warm holiday movie that then turns into Okay, now.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
When we come back, what are we doing? When we
come back? We're doing? What are we doing when we
come back? Partner around Matt, No, we are? Oh, I
know what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh my god, I know, and I know I didn't
think of it. There was that horrible thing that happened
on board that cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean cruise Ship.
Did you hear about this? It's wild. I'll tell you
about it next.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I don't know how many of you were cruisers, how
many of you have been on the Royal Caribbean cruise
ship before, But there was an incident a Royal Caribbean
passenger reportedly drunk and unruly attacking crew members and then
in a weird twist, because I don't think that were
(08:40):
this just a story about somebody being drunk and unruly
on a cruise ship, we would even be talking about it.
But in a weird twist, this person died shortly after
being detained. It's a bizarre story on a cruise ship
setting sail for ends.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The gentleman that was drunk.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
Said that he was going to kill us, and then
he started chasing us down the hallway.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
Chaos on a cruise caught on camera.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
Our first time ever going on a real vacation kind
of thing, like you know, going into international waters and
going to Mexico.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
And so Christopher McHale sets sailed Incinata to celebrate he
and his wife's birthdays and their anniversary Friday with a
dozen family and friends for a long weekend aboard Royal
Caribbean's navigator of the Seas.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
Oh my god, with that setup like when good times go.
Speaker 10 (09:33):
Bad, not even an hour outside of the port of
San Pedro, and Christopher McHale went back to his room
to put his phone on the charger, grab a jacket
and watch an action movie on the top deck when
all of a sudden, the action.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
Came to him.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Is this all?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This happened an hour into the cruise? I mean, how
drunk can you get an hour into the cruise?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (09:54):
I was waiting for them to say cut and come
out of the rooms.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
But there it was.
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Real life Events.
Speaker 10 (10:00):
Captures these videos showing a man in a possible drunken
fit of rage, spewing profanity and racial slurs.
Speaker 9 (10:09):
The crewmember that I was running with was able to
lock himself in one of the towel rooms. I was
kind of scared because I was like, dude, like I'm
stuck in this hallway. Everybody else is kind of like
behind something.
Speaker 10 (10:20):
Michale says. The now shirtless man drives to kick down
the door with his steel toed boots. After kicking a
crew number in the face and punching another, You're.
Speaker 9 (10:30):
Gonna flick me and just throwing me like thirty feet
because the guy he punched kind of flew a couple
of feet back.
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Armed with pepper spray towels, zip ties, and handcuffs, this
security team is finally able to move.
Speaker 9 (10:44):
In kind of acted like swat team and set up
like a barrier and then they attacked, so they just
waited for him to kind of run out of energy.
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Michale spends the rest.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
This is a I mean an hour into a cruise
ship ride. This is truly extraordinary. And this guy must
have shown up pretty drugged up, is my guess, and
I'm guessing that's maybe the underlying reason that he lost
his life in all of this.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
Michael spends the rest of his vacation talking with Royal
Caribbean management and the FBI about this incident.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
Everybody kind of like dogpiled him. The ship does have
two jails down there, and he was like in there
this entire time. And yeah, it's kind of sucks that
it happened the first couple hours of the vacation.
Speaker 11 (11:35):
So it's like he.
Speaker 10 (11:37):
Kind of crypt to Mexico.
Speaker 9 (11:39):
Yeah, he kind of ruined it for his family.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I got it, Christian, really did you hear that? Yeah,
so the trip to Mexico is kind of a no bueno,
is what you're saying. Yeah, wow, I respect somebody a
reporter has got, you know, always looking for the quick
hit you.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
The idea though that he was drunken, unruly seems clear,
but apparently he lost his life, right, and that's what
is hearing The story not mentioned in that report, but
Royal Caribbean has confirmed the passenger's death. That's why I
(12:27):
say there has to be drugs or something else underlining it.
I mean, you can't tell me an hour into a
cruise you're that drunk that you know, you get so
juiced up you start yelling the stuff and kicking doors
in and all the rest. It just doesn't make any sense.
The thirty five year old guy, he was traveling with
(12:50):
his fiance and seven year old son. I mean, you know,
this picture just doesn't make sense. And then you're just
essentially hearing these witness accounts of the sort that we
just heard. But and you've no doubt either seen the
(13:10):
video or you just heard the audio from the video,
which is the guy trying to punch a door and
crew members are trying to speak with him and talk
him down, and he was asking God to forgive him. Apparently,
in a statement, Royal Caribbean said, we're saddened by the
passing of one of our guests. We offered support to
(13:32):
the family. We're working with authorities on the investigation. An
FBI situation. They're investigating in the incident on board, and
they are not providing any further information. The family says
this is not consistent with his usual behavior.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
To me, it feels like drugs or something like a
almost like a meth high or whatever. But I don't know,
just based on what I'm hearing. You go on a
Royal Caribbean cruise to en Sonata with your fiance and child,
and an hour into it, you just start tearing the
place apart. Seems incredible. I've seen some fights on cruise ships, though,
(14:18):
I don't mind telling you. You know, usually the fights are,
you know, over the last cross song at a breakfast
buffet or something. You know, they have these immense buffets.
They're just incredible, and I've seen some people knock each
other out of the way to get to, you know,
the last piece of cake or what they feel may
(14:40):
be the last piece of cake, because they take that
stuff up right on time, Like you know, when that
buffet ends at ten am. Ye at ten am, they
are like a well oiled machine. They pull that food up.
I've seen some pretty u nasty situations, but nothing that
would rival this anyway, I would say, saddest, weirdest end
(15:06):
and beginning to a Royal Caribbean cruise that I've ever
heard of. What's the future of TikTok? We'll talk about
it next.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Luigi the man who has captured a lot of attention
nationwide and worldwide, but particularly nationwide. He's become a divisive figure.
This Luigi, Luigi Mangioni. He gunned down that healthcare executive
Brian Thompson, and Luigi is now being charged with first
(15:48):
degree murder in New York. I think when we talked
yesterday it was second degree, and I was mentioning.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
To you that I talked to an.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Attorney, David Katz, actually here in southern California, and he
was saying that the reason it was second degree, And
it's kind of hard to believe that it was second
degree murdered. The guy lies in wait for this dude,
right and then comes out of the shadows and kills
him in cold blood on a Manhattan the street. And
that's a second degree. I mean, what do you have
(16:17):
to do to get first degree? But it was explained
to me by David that that's because of certain idiosyncrasies
and details in the New York legal setup when it
comes to murder. Now, what they've done is they've upcharged
him with terrorism now and they've made that a first
(16:39):
degree charge. So again, he'll be extradited from Pennsylvania and
he'll go to New York, and this eleven count indictment
secured by the Manhattan District Attorney's office, we'll have him
facing federal charges out of the Southern District of New York,
(17:02):
and life is going to get pretty grim for Luigi.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
Luigi has also.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Picked up all this support because we all know how
broken the healthcare system is. I mean not to suggest
that this is a solution, but the conversation around the
healthcare and private insurance.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
And healthcare set.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Up in this country is essentially, i'd suggest in most
forums created a kind of open conversation about how broken
things are. So it may be that this system of
healthcare emerged and evolved over a long period of time
(17:46):
and a patchwork of this change and that change, but
we all know it doesn't work. And Obamacare brought the
insurance companies in and there were certain virtual aspects of
obamacarey pre existing conditions for example, and this sort of
thing that also the lifting of a cap for example
(18:08):
on prescription medications and medications you may need for various treatments.
But the insurance companies helped build that legislation. As a result,
you end up with something that favors the insurance companies,
and so that conversation now is being held openly. Still,
Luigi has got this cult of support. Again, some of
(18:31):
it's related to the healthcare somewhere. It's related because he's
this handsome dude. He's a handsome, young, smart guy who
did something horrible and Chris Rock did you see you?
On SNL? Chris Rock had a great reference to just that.
How Luigi's rise to kind of romanticized figure in American
(18:53):
pop culture has a lot to do with how good
looking he is.
Speaker 12 (18:56):
We got Luigi. We got Luigi, you know, and that's good.
I really feel sorry for the for the family.
Speaker 13 (19:04):
I mean, everybody's fixated on how good looking this guy.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
He looks.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
If you look like Jonah Hittle, no one would care.
They'd already given him a chair, already be dead. Okay,
he actually killed a man. I'm a man, a man
with a family, a.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Man with kids.
Speaker 12 (19:26):
Man.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
I mean I have condolences, have real condolences for you know,
the healthcare ceo. I mean, this is a real person,
you know, but you also got a you know, sometimes
drug dealers get shot.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
I mean you've seen the wire, right.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's a cold world, man, It's a cold world.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Dad.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
He pulled the wire too.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I know, a great wire reference, very strong there, he's
stuck the landing. Chris Rock was pretty namn funny on SNL. Well,
Luigi's still a big deal on TikTok. There's every manner
of a conspiracy theory still as to you, the fact
that he's being made the fall guy. He's not the
real killer. And TikTok is filled with information, good information,
(20:23):
and conspiracy theories and a bunch of other stuff. But
TikTok has become one of these key platforms that has
helped raise the profile of Luigi and a lot of
other conversations. And Supreme Court's going to hear arguments over
TikTok's effort to block this federal ban on TikTok. So
(20:44):
the plan is that TikTok will be banned if it's
not sold by January nineteenth. I mean that is the
plan right now in this country. The idea is that
the TikTok sale could be forced unless the Supreme Court
(21:05):
rules in TikTok's favor. TikTok has one hundred and seventy
million US users, and the idea somehow that TikTok's is
going away. You can forget about that. TikTok is not
going away.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I think it's just a matter of like it being
on platforms that you can download the app and stuff
like that if you have it currently.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
If you have it currently, you're.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Saying on your phone, I think it's not going anywhere
for you, right, I see, it's basically the access to
the app if you don't already have it, or some
aspect to that. I've heard that their argument, their main
arguments basically just going to be free.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Speech exactly First Amendments, and so I guess.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
The question is is that does free speech apply to.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Foreigners that are in the.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
US, meaning because it's a Chinese holding company.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Right, Because that, to me, that's the only argument against
the First Amendment argument. He's like, well, you're Chinese owned,
it doesn't apply to you.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Yeah, on that argument.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You'd think that TikTok would prevail because foreigners in this
country have the same rights to First Amendment as do naturalized.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Citizens, and the Supreme Courts also said that corporations are
people anyway.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
So right, you'd think.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
On the other hand, these Supreme Court decisions kind of
have the feel of being reverse engineered, like they come
up with the decision that they're gonna make ahead of time,
and then they work the law back to get to
that decision. So I don't know where they sit on
the TikTok thing. I'll tell you if they If they
do uphold the ban, that ban goes into effect the
(22:43):
day after Trump takes office. And Trump, I thought, has said.
I don't know if he's weighed in on the TikTok thing.
I think he has. What does he say? He says,
that's what I thought. I thought he was okay with TikTok. Yeah,
he loves social media, you know, so I this is key.
I don't know anyway. January tenth is the date that
(23:06):
they'll hear this argument the Supreme Court, and they've moved
it up because of the deadline being the nineteenth. It
has to be sold by January nineteenth. If the ban
is upheld, Moe Kelly is coming up at seven. Maybe
we'll grab a word with Mo as we continue. Next
Conway showed ding Dong. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. It's a holly,
(23:29):
jolly Christmas, the best.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
Time of the year.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Oh is minutes away. I know you're all swept up
in Droneville. What is the story with the drones. I've
got a different kind of drones story. I mean, I'd
be happy to talk to Moe about the drod and thing.
I'd actually be curious to know what Moe thinks. All
of these thousands of drones are in the Jersey Skies
(24:01):
and even spotted here in southern California. And I don't
know that these aren't copycat situations. But there is a
federal prison at a military installation that is complaining about
multiple drone incursions this year because people are trying to
do what if you guess smuggle contraband, you are a winner.
(24:25):
This is the new way to get contraband into a
federal prison facility. This is a prison facility at a
military installation. A spokesperson for joint based McGuire Dix Lakerst
which houses the FCI Fort Dix Prison, said that measures
(24:45):
are now in place to detect, respond and deny unauthorized
drone use over our facilities, but apparently they have been
inundated with various drone vehicles trying to smuggle contraband into
this federal prison. This year, there have been multiple drone detections,
(25:06):
all involving attempts to smuggle contraband into the federal correctional
institution hosted on our base. A spokesperson said, we take
each case seriously and aggressively coordinate with local law enforcement
to ensure the safety and security of our installation.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
What kind of contraband? Anybody want to guess?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Cell Phones yes, cell phone accessories yes, Drugs yes, Tobacco yes.
But here's one that will surprise you. Weight loss supplements.
I know you did not have that on your list.
In any case, the fight against contraband continues. How about
(25:52):
it from O Kelly who has just walked into the studio.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
I love it Ozimpic is being dropped into apparently.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Did you see that huge bust of that lady in
Tennessee who is essentially selling discounted ozempic and other related drugs.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
But it's not really ozempic. It's just like that's the
way it usually is, this counterfeit, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
They I mean, apparently there's a big business because people
can't get this stuff and it's very expensive.
Speaker 11 (26:20):
And they probably see that, well it's it's only one
tenth the price.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, if it's ozempi ish, it works for me, you
know what I mean? So I pay a little less,
but I get a little less, all right, but it
still sort of works.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
They had something similar happened with the uh like the
viagra market, where men didn't weren't willing to get the
prescription grade stuff, where they didn't want to have the
consultation and put their name out there. So they're buying
this half assed stuff online and sometimes it was real,
sometimes it wasn't.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I got a lot of those served to me
the U you know, in the junk mail. Yeah, I
don't get it as much now because it all goes
to junk. But that discount, viagra discount whatever. You know,
how do they know that in moments? You know a
lot of times they don't. You're just hoping I see. Yeah,
(27:15):
I don't know. I'm just saying, you know, hypothetically, theoretically,
shouldn't take it personally.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Yeah, no, I think it's sent to everyone.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Okay, I think what's on the big mo Kelly show?
What are you focusing on?
Speaker 11 (27:29):
Well, we got to talk about the twelve people who
were injured today in that Metro bus crash. Metro was
doing so well for a while without any bad news
surrounding it.
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Well, that goes all away today with that crash today,
Oh my god.
Speaker 11 (27:41):
And as we always talk about a later with mo Keller,
we talk about the evolution of our economy and many
industries which may be going away. USC newspaper, the Daily
Trojan is going to be printing less due to unpaid staff.
The whole idea of a campus newspaper maybe no more.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Well this is interesting too, because when I saw that,
I thought, you know, our newspaper. I used to do
a little work for them, and it was always unpaid.
But they have staff there that is paid.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Not only that, there were printing costs, there were budgetary concerns.
You know, it's not done for free, but there were
pair paid staff at all college and university papers.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
But let me just okay, follow up on this for
a second, because I saw the number of one hundred
thousand dollars, Like that's what they're short.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Yeah, one hundred deficits at USC.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I mean you're tripping over one hundred thousand dollars at
USC on your way to class.
Speaker 11 (28:34):
I think it's more of they're just not going to
pay it anymore, not that they couldn't pay anymore.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Okay, that that makes sense then yeah, yeah, they just
decided they're out of the newspaper on campus business, right.
Speaker 11 (28:44):
I mean, look there, they're not getting as much money
as they used to for getting students on campus who
had no business being there through the varsity glup, nevermind.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Got to make cut somewhere through the side door. Yes, yeah,
that sounds that sounds cool. Well, I you know, I
don't know. I went down to USC. I just mentioned
this show was like a guest lecturer and a couple
of a couple of times in the last couple of years.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Gosh, man, it's it's nice down there.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
It's really nice. It's really just don't step off the campus.
But it's changed so much in the past ten to
fifteen years. It has, it really has.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It was much more dangerous, like don't step off fifteen
years ago, now you're probably okay stepping off.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, that things we're gonna go too far. That was fun.
What else do you have?
Speaker 11 (29:30):
We've got to talk about Walmart is testing body cams,
not that they're actually going to do anything and arrest you,
but they want to have more evidence as far as
interactions with customers who may become unruly or escalate situation.
Speaker 6 (29:43):
Sure, sure, absolutely, and that may be the wave of
the future.
Speaker 11 (29:46):
And we have a story, because we always talk about
cruising Royal Caribbean. There was a ship passenger who died
while in quote unquote custody of ship's security after going
on a rampage on a ship. But people don't know
it's the exact same ship, the exact same itinerary that
Tawaula and I were on on Labor Day weekends. So
(30:08):
we're going to provide some insights and other people cannot.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
The one detail that really struck me about that story
was that this entire incident with this guy who was
so unruly it started an hour into the cruise. Now
that strikes me as extraordinary, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 11 (30:26):
Let me just tell you this, okay, the liquor starts
flowing from the moment you are on the ship.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
I see, I see, and there are a lot of
people who already hit the ship running.
Speaker 11 (30:35):
In other words, they're already well lubricated by the time
they get on the shop.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That was my theory that he came loaded and we
don't know what he was loaded on. Right, it sounds
to me like he was so aggressive. Yeah, you can't
bring on.
Speaker 11 (30:46):
Let's say, cannabis products, but it doesn't mean that you're
not already having ingested them by the time you get
on the ship.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Ship.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
But the aggression that leads me to believe it wasn't it.
Speaker 11 (30:57):
It could be any number of things, That's what I'm saying.
When you start and all those things together, I see,
I see, you just don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I love that you guys were actually on that very ship.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
That particular ship.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
Now, not this when it happens, but the ship involved.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
I love it all right. They'll lay it all bare.
They x ray that situation on Royal Caribbean. Mo Kelly
