Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get more
information on this standoff in Long Beach. A homicide suspect
in Long Beach got a huge listenership of KFI in
(00:20):
the Long Beach area.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
As you said, two people are dead and the stand
up with the suspected gunman has been going on for hours.
This is all happening a little more than a block
from where we're staying. You can probably see a very
large police presence down the street, and we want to
show you some footage from Air seven. It shows a
swat vehicle park near a home and several officers gathered
near that vehicle. Authorities tell us the male suspect fled
(00:43):
and is now barricaded inside a house or some other structure.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
In this neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
According to Long Beach Police, officers have arrived on the
three hundred block of East sixty third Street around eleven
fifteen this morning responding to a shooting call. They found
two victims, a woman and a man suffering from unshot wounds.
Now the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The
woman was rushed to a hospital, but did not survive.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The suspect was.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Seen running away from the home and authorities established a
perimeter in the area, and again since then the standoff
has been going on. We don't know if police have
been able to communicate with that suspect, so right now
we're waiting some updates from the authorities, but you can
see this situation is continuing here right now. We don't
know of any motive for this shooting, but we are
seeing a number of people gathered near the scene. We
(01:28):
know there are some family members here and possibly friends
of the victims here as well, and also there of
course many people in this neighborhood who simply can't get
to their homes right now because of the perimeter here
and the danger with the SWAT officers here at this
barricade situation. We're hoping to get an update from authorities
in the next few minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, if that's the correct address, the three hundred block
of East sixty third Street, then that's got to be.
That's probably east of the seven ten, right near the
ninety one off that's north or south ninety one for
I think it's south south of ninety one fourway in
that area. That's where the La River comes through in
Long Beach, and so a lot of people live in
(02:08):
that area, you know, work nine to five, they have
you know, good pay, not great paying jobs, but they're
they're making a living and it's not a hugely expensive area,
but it's blue collar workers keeping this city together. And
somebody in that I had some kind of contact with
(02:31):
the couple, and I don't know how they're related, but
the guy was killed, woman was shot, rushed to the hospital,
she didn't make it, and now they're trying to get
this guy out of that house. But again, it's east
of the seven to ten Freeway and just south of
the ninety one freeway, So you're if you're traveling on
the seven to ten Freeway and you're going south, right
(02:53):
as you pass the ninety one, it's off to your
left hand side, and that's where we'll see a lot
of helicopters, a lot of SWAP member trying to get
this guy out of that house or structure that he's in.
So that's the latest in Long Beach with the standoff.
Nobody not sure what happened. There are a lot of
(03:13):
cops out there, a lot of action, a lot of
closed streets. And again, if you're on the seven ten
going north, before you get to the n ninety one,
look off to the right and you'll see helicopters, news helicopters,
the Long Beach Police helicopter, maybe even the Sheriff's department.
A lot of action right where the seven to ten
(03:34):
and the ninety one meet there in Long Beach. So, Angel,
is that screwing up traffic on the seven ten or
is that flowing pretty good?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It seems to be flowing pretty good. I'm double checking
right now. But you know, while I'm pulling that up,
that neighborhood is actually in Really it's a great neighborhood.
They've got a lot of nicely well manicured.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I saw that, Yeah, and it's just beautiful. I mean,
these are people that are homeowners that take a lot
of pride in their home and it's a nice little community.
But the seven ten seems to be moving along, just
flying through that area. It's always busy right there at
the ninety one and the seven ten, but it might
be a little heavier than usual, you know, on that connector,
(04:18):
especially from the seven ten north to the ninety one.
That looks a little more backed up than usual right now.
So I'm sure there's a lot of stuff to look
at while you're driving by, with the helicopters that Timmy
said were flying around and just all the action going
on over there with that ongoing investigation.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, you can always tell when you're looking at the
you know, the the aerial view of a neighborhood. I
do a pool count to see what's going on. Anytime
you see, you know, two pools on the same street
that have no water in them or are black, then
it's this picture is probably taken some time in the winter,
(04:57):
but yeah, that's that's what's happening. East sixty third. It
comes to a stop right there. That's a cul de
sac on East sixty third, the three hundred block of
East sixty third, And then just north of that is
a mobile home park and I don't know if they've
closed that down or if the suspect is in that neighborhood,
but there's a fairly huge villa park is just north
(05:21):
of them, and a Looha circle is the big base there,
the big center of the mobile arm home park. Aloha
circle Ding dong with a Loha circle. All right, all right,
we got some other news as well. We're following the
fires to see what the updates. A lot of structured,
(05:41):
a lot of homes have burned. The update we talked
about that earlier on the fires. A lot more houses
have burned than people thought. You know, people thought maybe
five six homes maybe you know, per fire, but there's
a lot more than that. And that's why every time
something like this happens, man these insurance rates, it's going
(06:03):
to give the insurance companies another excuse to jack these
rates up. And you're going to see it happen again
in the mountains in Orange County where the Airport fire is,
the line fire in San Bernardino, and especially the Bridge fire,
and you'll see these homes that you know, a lot
of these homeowners do not have insurance because it is
(06:23):
unbelievably expensive, and so they have nothing. Now you know,
their entire home is gone there. You know, they may
have been there for thirty, forty fifty years. It's gone,
and all they have is the property to sell. And
that's not you know, worth a hell of a lot
without a home there. But it's more than that. It's
all the memories you know of raising kids and grandkids
(06:44):
and hoping to leave that home to your kids or
grandkids in the future. And that's over. And so the
people who don't have insurance, I don't know what they do.
I don't know where they go, you know. I mean,
they've had they had a beautiful home up in the
mountains in either Right Would or Mount Wilson area, and
now that's gone. They don't have insurance, so they can't
(07:05):
rebuild it. They have the cast rebuild it. And now
they've got to find something else, you know, in their
seventies or eighties, they're gonna have to be moving in
with kids or grandkids to get to get by. And
that's not the way they wanted to end their life.
And and again that line fire, it's suspicious. They they've
arrested somebody for arson with the with the line fire.
(07:28):
And there's now you know, more than probably a dozen
couples who are having to move in and a you know,
an apartment or move in with the kids because this
a hole decided to light that mountain on fire. It's unbelievable,
it really, it really is amazing, all right. Also, the
utilities shut the shut off in Rolling Hills, and I
(07:51):
also heard something out there in the chats Worth not Chatsworth,
but out where the uh right off the one oh one.
We're the Kardashians from what's in the Calabasas right, not
in the Calabasas area too. They're cutting off electricity and
gas to update services out there. And the one thing
wealthy people don't like is to have their electricity and
(08:13):
their gas shut off. They can't handle it. They don't
like being out of the internet. They don't like having
their lights off, their alarm systems not working, their garage
doors aren't working. They hate it. But it's happening out
there as well. They're upgrading the system. It's not a
power outer, it's a planed power outage, but they don't
like planned power outages. Wealthy people don't like that at all.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Conway show.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I got power outages, ladies and gentlemen across southern California
and La County. A lot of it is affected by
the I imagine by the fires. But we have nine
six and fifty one customers, almost ten thousand customers affected
in La County, two hundred and eighty one outages right now,
according to SCEE Southern California Electric. Now, there might be
(09:07):
more within the city of La with the LADWP, but
these are just Southern California Edison. So ten thousand people
with two hundred and eighty one outages in La County.
Then we have Orange County eighty four outages. Four thousand
customers are out of power. Riverside one hundred and eighteen outages,
(09:29):
six two hundred and three customers without power. San Bernardino.
This is one. This is where the it gets huge
and gnarly and horrible. There's one hundred and fifty seven
outages and a lot of it I imagine is because
of the line fire. So fourteen thousand, five hundred customers
(09:49):
without electricity. Fourteen thousand, five hundred, and I think that's
We've Ventura, seven thousand customers without power in Ventura, Okay.
Now at Hidden Hills, a lot of wealthy people live
out in Hidden Hills. Every home is worth ten, fifteen
to twenty million dollars and they're going to have a
power outage starting this Friday at nine am. So when
(10:12):
you get the kids off to school, you'll come home
at nine am. They're going to shut your power off
for a lot of people live in in that area,
Hidden Hills, and it's going to be off until three pm,
from nine am until three pm because the crew is
doing some work there on safety and they don't want
to get zapped, and so they're going to shut your
(10:33):
electricity off. At least that's the plan so far. It's
going to be Friday from nine am until three pm
in Hidden Hills, So be careful out there as well.
And you know, those homes are pretty safe. There's a
there's a guard there. There's a security guard there twenty
four hours a day. It's a gated community and a
(10:56):
lot of people with a lot of money live in
that area and they don't like the electricity off, but
it's being shut off this Friday, nine am till three pm.
I also the Rolling Hills area, the land movement out
there in Pacific Peninsula or Palace Vertage utility shut offs,
(11:17):
there's more of them coming, more trouble for this area.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
We're told that the gas will be shut off at
three o'clock today. This all started in the Portuguese Bend
area and slowly but surely it's been affecting nearby neighborhoods
Sky five overhead this morning as the gas company is
preparing to shut down gas to at least thirty three homes.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Even more homes, there's another thirty three. They're gonna be
shut down right now.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
They say there could be up to fifty homes being affected.
The utility companies made the announcement initially saying that fifty
homes would be affected and termination is expected to be indefinite.
The land is rapidly shifting, so much so that it's
about a foot a week.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Officials say the heavy rate that's a lot. When your
house is moving a foot a week, that's fifty two
feet a year. That is a tremendous amount of movement.
That it's about a foot a week.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Officials say the heavy rains cause major problems for residents.
Engineers are actively looking into how they can slow this movement,
but it's happening faster than many have expected. Many of
these areas in the evacuation warning zone. As well as
not having utilities, the other concern is not having sewer
system because the pumps seed electricity to operate.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Now, oh no, sewage is going to back up as well,
so no electricity, no gas, not it not enough no
electricity for this sewage. That's horrible. But I guarantee you
there's some people out there with a sense of humor,
you know, sort of a dark sense of humor, and
probably telling the neighbors. You know, at this rate, we'll
be we'll have an ocean front property soon. You know
(12:45):
that there are some people out there who have kept
their sense of humor. I could understand if you lost it, though,
I could understand that as well.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
The governor has declared a state of emergency and renals
palace brutus and affected areas. Sadly, many of these homes
have no other options. Insurance does not I'll cover Landslnes,
and many people feel helpless, and it's a problem that
is only getting worse.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, it sucks that insurance doesn't cover when the land moves.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
Well, we realize that there's a lot of movement on
the peninsula. The peninsula is very big and rolling hills
from everything that I and my neighbors can see is
not being affected like that. Throughout the city there may
be like little one inch fissures, but it really feels
like the utilities are trying to get ahead of themselves,
(13:28):
and they're they're shutting us down when maybe they shouldn't be.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Many neighbors are upset today, they say, what is going
on in RPV is not what's going on in Rolling Hills.
And we drove up to Rolling Hills, and you can
tell the land, especially the roadways, look practically normal compared
to what we've seen in RPV.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, it's really tough out there, very tough out there.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Well, this is one of those situations that very critical,
dire situation, especially when you're living here in Rolling Hills.
This is the estate right behind me.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
A nice game. By the way, They've got to change
then of that town. They got to stop calling it
Rolling Hills. Oh yeah, they get we get it, we
get it. Point Yeah, it's moving a little much, Yeah,
rolling too much, Hills, rolling radically, Rolling Hills, sit still Hills. Yes,
how about yeah, right exactly, we're never going to move again.
Hills don't right, Hills, don't budge Hills. That's right. Need
(14:20):
a new name change out there. Wouldn't that be great
if they changed the name and all of a sudden
it stopped. It's just the name that was stepping up
the land.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
That's right, yes, right behind me, a nice gated community
and that's because of a landslide that is very close by.
SO Power and Gas. That is a situation here. But
as you take a look, this is the front area
and unfortunately we're not able to go past the gate. However,
a lot of those homes, dozens of them, are in
that critical situation.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Take a look.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
So cal Gas says they will be shutting off service
to thirty five homes in Rolling Hills by Monday at
about three pm due to ongoing land movement in the
Palace Verte.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
They've been deemed no longer safe. You know that people
who don't even live anywhere near that are scared to
death that this is going to take off and there's
going to keep moving and moving, and it's gonna expand
and expand, and it's gonna it's gonna drive a lot
of people crazy, a lot of people crazy. Plus, you
cannot sell a home anywhere near that area right now.
(15:21):
If you're looking to sell and get out, move out
of California, you know, I don't go to Iowa or
Colorado wherever your dream was. Man, is it going to
be tough to sell that house now? Almost impossible, almost impossible.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
No longer safe to use natural gas. This includes nine
homes on Cinching Road and nine homes on Portuguese Ben Road.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Additionally, gotta change the name of that road. Got to
change the name Portuguese Ben Road.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
God Portuguese Ben Road. Additionally, Southern California Edison has informed
fifty one homeowners that power will soon be turned off
as well.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, that's that's in addition to all the other homes
that have already been turned off.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Southern California Edison has advised those residents the power will
be shut off indefinitely by Wednesday night, with outages possibly
at any time before then. In the meantime, the city
urging utility companies to explore engineering solutions to try and
maintain services while ensuring public safety. Over in the nearby
(16:18):
Rancho Pelas Verdes area, it's been hard hit. As we know.
The landslide has caused entire homes to collapse or tear apark,
bringing the total number of affected homes in Rancho Pelas
Verdes to roughly two hundred.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh my god, two hundred homes out there, beautiful homes
with great views. They had it made, they bought you know,
twenty thirty, forty fifty years ago when there wasn't an
issue out there, and they've had a beautiful life out there,
and then we had two seasons of rain last year
and then this past winter of record breaking rain or
(16:52):
nearly record breaking rain, and it's on the move. They've
tried to pump all the water out of there, but
you just can't. There's not enough pumps to to bail
all that water out of there. Even if you do
take all the water out, you know, the land becomes
so saturated you can't dry it out. And I don't
know what the solution is, but I hope it doesn't,
you know, continue to expand and into other neighbors there.
(17:16):
It's just it's one of the most beautiful areas in
Los Angeles. If you've never been out there, it truly
is the view that they have. It's not very crowded
on weekends. There's not a lot of public beaches out there.
There's these huge cliffs to get down to the beach,
so people go to Santa Monica or you know, Huntington
Beach instead Manhattan Beach. But you don't go to Palace
(17:38):
Verte to go to the beaches, and so they don't
have a lot of traffic in that area, and so
it's really secluded, really private, really quiet, and now these
homes are moving. It is a huge disaster.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Hey, there's a website. I don't know how popular it is.
I often go there though, because I think they have
a pretty good oversight panel on judging businesses. It's called
Quality Business Awards, and they just named Yang Choo the
best Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, and that means something.
(18:21):
It's on eight eight nineteen North Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.
It got five stars in satisfaction, service, reputation, and quality.
And they've awarded Yang Choo Restaurant as the best Chinese
restaurant in Los Angeles for twenty twenty four overall score
of ninety five percent. So I'm looking around at other awards,
(18:42):
other restaurants that got awards, and the best Mexican restaurant
in Semi Valley is a restaurant that's also in Burbank
and a restaurant that I go to all the time,
which I'd love and I can't believe it's now number
one in Seemi Valley. It's don Kuka's, you know. They
have two in Burbank and one in Siami Valley, and
(19:03):
the Semi Valley location is on thirty nine to ninety
one Cochrane Street in Siami Valley. According to Quality Business Awards,
it's the number one Mexican restaurant in Seami Valley, rated
number one for twenty twenty four. And so they obviously
have the same food as the one in Burbank, and
(19:24):
that place is always packed. The bar there is always packed.
I went to their last time, and I haven't been
there in I don't know, six months or so. Just
to sit at the bar myself and watch the game.
I eat Taketo's. That's all I eat. I'm like twelve,
and have a coke. I have the same palette that
I had when I was in Missus Bernstein's class in
(19:47):
third grade. Taketo's and a coke. That's my meal. I
enjoyed it in third grade at the first Tiketo I
ever had was Olivera Street. In third grade, went to
a field trip to Olvera Street and I had taketos,
fell in love with them, and I haven't changed since
(20:08):
my wife constantly busts my balls. I don't know why.
We go to a great Mexican restaurant and I get
the taketo's. You know what she does now, she gets
me the crans and the little coloring, the color book
of menu placement. That's the placement. Yeah, I get to
connect the numbers on the placement.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
You make ticktak toe all over the free spaces seat
written on it because nobody can win a game.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh, you've seen me. For some reason, I hooked up
with the Ketos and I've I've not stopped. I got
them two nights ago. But anyway, I went to Don
Cuco's on Friday and there were four people in the
bar that while I was eating, came up and said,
I listened to KFI all the time. Four people, four
a couple, another, a single guy bar and then a
(21:03):
woman that was really loaded. By the way, did you
ding dong them?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, they all get a ding dog you know. I
asked him, you know what's going on with their lives?
And that whole run. And then I go to the
market right after that and with my wife and ran
into the mother and her daughter and they stopped me
in the eye and say, well, this is a KFI
all the time. So look, it's not it has nothing
to do with me. It's the station. Because in the
(21:30):
twelve years I worked at Kala Sex, I got recognized
three times in twelve years. Three times, I remember every
one of them. First time was at a target after
being there for four years, somebody said, hey you on
Kala Sex. I'm like, yeah, hell do you know? But
being here at KFI, it happens all the time because
this is the number one talk station in Los Angeles
(21:52):
and Crozier. I think it's the number one talk station
in the United States. Oh yeah, you know, number one
on their app.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
I iHeart app by a of all the thousands of
stations that they have.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, and I was listening to Andrew Caravella. He came in.
He was doing news for you on on Friday, and
he said, whenever he runs into people in the Upper
Debt he lives in the Victorville area. Whenever he runs
into people, they they if they listen to CAFI, they
always listen to this show. And John Colpel I guess
that's like, you know, he was kind of but this
(22:25):
station blasts all over southern California, So whenever there's an
earthquake or a fire, it's it was always my go
to station before I worked here, and and it stayed
that way. Every time there's an earthquake, and you're sure
on KFI they're already talking about it. And and I
hate to say weird because I don't even feel like
I'm still part of the station. Hey, as long as
I've been here, I died. I feel the same way
(22:47):
as you. Isn't that weird? Every time I walk into
this building, I feel like I'm the new guy. I
still do. I feel like everybody here has been here
longer than I have. And it's true. Bill Handle's been
here longer, Gary has been here longer, Shannon's been here longer,
so is John. The newest guy is Moe Kelly, and
he's been here twelve years, and everybody else is you know,
(23:09):
I've been here fourteen years, and I still every time
I walk in, I feel like I is my first
day here. It's weird. It is weird me too, But
I'm glad you feel the same way, Chroch. It's not
just me, truly, do you know, Because if you never
want to get too comfortable.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That has been a running theme throughout my entire thirty years.
I'm the same way. And they said, if especially in radio,
if you work in radio, if you dare put a
nail into a wall and hang a picture in your office,
good night. Yes, don't hang anything the next the next
day they it's over. So so you go to these
(23:46):
offices like Petro some money and Gary and Shannon the
same thing. You go into Gary and Shannon's office, there's
not a picture on the wall because they know the
rule of thumb. The moment you put a wall, the
moment you put a nail into a wall to hang
a picture, the moment you think you're going to be
here that long you got the SS you got to
going on, You're gone.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
No frames, don't want any frames with pictures in him
at all. None, family, wife, husband, kids, nothing. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
The only one that has pictures is Chris Little, who's
the news director, and he's got a picture of his
kid and I and I do this with everybody who
starts here. And there's probably been twenty people who started
in the newsroom since I've been here. But if he
has an interview with somebody, I grabbed the guy or
the gal afterwards, and I said, hey, was it was
(24:34):
it weird that he has a picture of a young
man in a speedo behind him, all wet, like he
just got out of the pool. And the guy whoever
is interviewing goes, yeah, I assume that's, you know, his
kid that plays water polo, And I go, he doesn't
have kids, And they all buy it. They're like, what
(24:58):
the hell, there's.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Always that long and they look at you one raised eye,
brown and they go and then the realization hits yeah,
and then like six months later like, oh, I guess
he does have kids, Like, oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I didn't know. I was unaware if he had kids.
I didn't know. All right, Power outages all over the place.
A lot of it has to do with the fires.
The line fire in San Bernardino, Arson suspected in that fire,
the bridge fire that burned you know, one hundred acres here,
hundred acres there, hundred acres there, and then bang thirty
(25:30):
four thousand acres like in about an hour last week.
That's one that made its way into right Wood. And
then the airport fire in Tribuco Canyon, which really went
south and east on them all the way to Riverside.
So three big fires. We've had all the information here.
Thank god it's cooler and the firefighters can get a
handle on this. And then we have the standoff in
(25:52):
Long Beach going on, and if we can come back
with any information, any new information, we'll have that for
you as well, covering everything.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Ding Dong. Workplace behavior. It's money. We're all back to
work again. And this is a survey out there of
America's most hated workplace behaviors, the crap that people hate
from other coworkers. Find out what's irritating everybody.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
I'm upster dot com has come up with a list
of the top five rudest behaviors in the workplace.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
All right, let's see how many of them are happening
right here at kfive.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Coming in at number one. Not cleaning up after yourself bingo.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Case in point.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Someone left this dental floss pick in our control room.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That's that's fantastic. A dental flaws pick in the control
room already used. That is rich for our.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
Producers to find this way there's a close up.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
No one knows if it's used or not. But again,
no one's brave enough to it's used.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
It's used, Oh.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
Taylor's saying it's used, and no one's brave enough to
touch it, So then you're just going to walk around
it all morning. Number two on the list of rude behavior, gossiping,
rounding out the top five, using inappropriate language, being unresponsive
to messages, and consistently being late to meetings.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Wow, man, we got them, We got them all.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
Here, rounding out the top five using inappropriate language.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Inappropriate language. Okay, I would say, other than Sharon Bellio,
that everybody here is guilty of that. Everybody that I
know who works here, especially on KFI, swears all the time,
all the time. Except Bellio. She never ever swears. I've
(27:49):
heard her twice, once used the F word and once
the B word. It was all in the same week.
She was out in a bad week. That was the
week that she got frustrated and picked up a fax
machine and threw it across the room. It was a
rough week for Pellio, really rough week. But I've only
heard it do it twice and nothing since then. That
was eight years ago.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Being unresponsive to messages and consistently being late to meetings.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, I don't know who's late anymore.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
The job website pulled more than a thousand US workers.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, all right, all right, I don't know. I don't.
No one can use traffic as an excuse anymore, you know,
because you have ways and you'll know exactly how long
it's going to take you to get from your house
to work. And Nope, when you say you know you
got stuck in traffic, unless it's a freeway that's been
closed because of either gunshots or fire or whatever, nobody
(28:41):
buys that anymore. That traffic and that's why you were late,
that's not an excuse anymore, all right. The titan submersible,
remember that. I think that was only a year ago
where everybody went down to see the Titanic and it
ended pretty horrifically for everybody in that submersible.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
The Coastguard has begun an official hearing looking into the
ill fated journey of the titan submersible, which imploded as
it dove toward the wreckage of the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
The only saving grace of that story is the US Navy.
The United States Navy because the United States Navy they
heard that explosion forty two hundred miles from where it happened.
So the one saving grace, one silver lining, is that
the Navy is still firing on all eight. They heard
(29:32):
that explosion from forty two one hundred miles away and
didn't really think much of it, and then put two
and two together, and that was the explosion of that submersible.
That is great technology and a great US Navy.
Speaker 11 (29:48):
We're already learning a lot about what led to that
doomed voyage. That head contractor for Ocean Gates said he
wouldn't even get in the submersible, and when the top
engineer voiced his safety concerns, he got fired.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Everything that I could do, well, that makes sense, right,
if you're gonna be a NARC, they're gonna fire you.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
And when the top engineer voiced his safety concerns.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, what they do, they listened to him. He got fired.
Speaker 12 (30:12):
Ah, I got let go everything that I could do
to tell him, like hear the alarms and this is
why we shouldn't go.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We're there. Yeah, they went anywhere, and they went anyway
and so long.
Speaker 11 (30:25):
Despite more than one hundred red flags, over two years.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
What Wait a minute, what.
Speaker 11 (30:30):
Despite more than one hundred red flags over two years.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Seems like a lot. When you're going a couple miles
deep into the ocean, there shouldn't be any red flag
you want one, but a couple hundred.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
In June of twenty twenty three, Ocean Gate CEO Stockton
Rush took four others into the North Atlantic on the
titans submersible to see the wreckage of the RMS Titanic.
One hour fifteen minutes into the trip, the sub imploded,
killing all five on board.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
And another another thing you can point to and say, look,
at least they died instantly. They died before their brain,
you know, could recognize that pain is on its way.
They died within a fraction of a second, so there
wasn't even enough time for the brain to register what
(31:20):
was going on, and they vaporized.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
You wanted me to buy off on the idea of
going to the Titanic, and I told them, no, it
can like it's not clean.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
The Coastguard held a hearing today to reveal the findings
of a year long investigation, and.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I don't get that. I really don't understand that there's
two hundred red flags. I understand it's a business. You
got to keep making money and you got to keep
a reputation up. I get that. But when somebody says
there's two hundred red flags, you still put five or
four human beings in that thing and lowered it down
to the Titanic. Something's going on.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
To reveal the findings of a year long investigation into
the deadly voyage of the ocean Gate vessel, they also
questioned experts about certification, communication, technology, and construction. The head
engineer for Oceangate cautioned Rush not to take the trip,
citing problems with the hull, among other things.
Speaker 12 (32:11):
The submersible. What we're doing has never been done before.
We don't have classing direction on what good looks like,
I said. Nobody knows what good looks like or what
it's supposed to look like, I said, But what I
do know is it shouldn't look like that.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
Investigators shared this animation showing key moments of the dive,
as captured in text. Communication between Titan and the base
station above water. The polar prints ten fifteen am yes,
all good here. Thirty two minutes later, all communication was lost.
That set off in international search and treacherous waters for
(32:46):
any sign of the titan.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, do you remember that where they had the Navy
out there, a lot of search vehicles and they were
combing hundreds of square miles looking for this thing.
Speaker 11 (32:56):
People were even counting down to the moment the crew
would hypothetically lose oxygen, but the implosion was instantaneous. Some
of the wreck was found four days later, only a
quarter mile from the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, that was a crazy time. And I remember we
were on the air for that, and you know, every
single day there was a countdown to when that when
the oxygen would expire. But it turns out that it couldn't.
It didn't stand a chance it exploded or imploded the
moment it reached a couple thousand feet and and all
(33:31):
those people died. And for them to have that many
red flags and that many warnings, especially from the technical
staff and the engineers aboard that ship is outrageous, outrageous.
And there these are very wealthy people. You know, Wealthy
people like to do crazy stuff like, for instance, the spacewalk.
(33:53):
Wealthy people went up last week and walked in space.
Speaker 10 (33:56):
Wealthy people tech billionaire is back on Earth. After completing
the first private spacewalk.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
And there you can.
Speaker 13 (34:02):
See what a cool moment. The space Ex capsule carrying
Jared Isaacman and his crew splashed down in the Gulf
of Mexico overnight. During their five day spaceflight, the crew
also tested some new space suits. Isaacman was joined on
the mission to buy two SpaceX engineers and a former
(34:23):
Air Force Thunderbird pilot. He reportedly paid two hundred million
dollars for the spacewalk. He reportedly paid two hundred million
dollars for the spacewalk.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Talk about pocket change that you know that you can
toss around two hundred million dollars to walk in space.
That's unbelievable. All right, Mark Ronner, who does the news
anchors for Emo Kelly Show. But you turned me onto
a show called Slow Horses, and I didn't think anything
(34:55):
of it. But it did really well in the awards
last night. Yeah it did. What do you mean you
didn't think anything of it. I don't know. I thought,
you know, it's just ron or he's just.
Speaker 9 (35:02):
Oh you didn't watch the show and think nothing of that?
You thought nothing of my recommendation. Thanks for the clarification.
That's correct. Okay, Well I feel better.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
But I like that when somebody recommends a show and
it does well. That was a it was a you know,
it was a long shot to win those awards and
did really well.
Speaker 9 (35:18):
Well, here's the deal. It's a really entertaining, solid spy show.
But with the advantage of Gary Oldman saying the most
foul insults to everybody in the cast, it's really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
He's the best. Yeah, yeah, he really is.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
I've loved him ever since the old every one day.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I think he's terrific. Tell me again, what it's on.
What's streaming service? Apple Plus? Apple Plus?
Speaker 9 (35:40):
All right, you must it's on season four, just started
and it's only got two episodes end of the season
already terrific.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Okay, and real quickly and we got to go. You
guys got to start the show. Would you consider the
Bear a comedy?
Speaker 9 (35:53):
No, it got me really tense. I thought I was
gonna have to take his annex. I gotta be honest
with you.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, I don't know. It's not like a Seinfeld or
Friends received another kind of comic vibe. Seinfeld doesn't make
your chest pound like that. That's right. Not normally all right,
Moe Kelly is up next with this whole crew right
here on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now, you can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty four to seven pm
(36:18):
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio
app
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Let's get more
information on this standoff in Long Beach. A homicide suspect
in Long Beach got a huge listenership of KFI in
(00:20):
the Long Beach area.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
As you said, two people are dead and the stand
up with the suspected gunman has been going on for hours.
This is all happening a little more than a block
from where we're staying. You can probably see a very
large police presence down the street, and we want to
show you some footage from Air seven. It shows a
swat vehicle park near a home and several officers gathered
near that vehicle. Authorities tell us the male suspect fled
(00:43):
and is now barricaded inside a house or some other structure.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
In this neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
According to Long Beach Police, officers have arrived on the
three hundred block of East sixty third Street around eleven
fifteen this morning responding to a shooting call. They found
two victims, a woman and a man suffering from unshot wounds.
Now the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The
woman was rushed to a hospital, but did not survive.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
The suspect was.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Seen running away from the home and authorities established a
perimeter in the area, and again since then the standoff
has been going on. We don't know if police have
been able to communicate with that suspect, so right now
we're waiting some updates from the authorities, but you can
see this situation is continuing here right now. We don't
know of any motive for this shooting, but we are
seeing a number of people gathered near the scene. We
(01:28):
know there are some family members here and possibly friends
of the victims here as well, and also there of
course many people in this neighborhood who simply can't get
to their homes right now because of the perimeter here
and the danger with the SWAT officers here at this
barricade situation. We're hoping to get an update from authorities
in the next few minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, if that's the correct address, the three hundred block
of East sixty third Street, then that's got to be.
That's probably east of the seven ten, right near the
ninety one off that's north or south ninety one for
I think it's south south of ninety one fourway in
that area. That's where the La River comes through in
Long Beach, and so a lot of people live in
(02:08):
that area, you know, work nine to five, they have
you know, good pay, not great paying jobs, but they're
they're making a living and it's not a hugely expensive area,
but it's blue collar workers keeping this city together. And
somebody in that I had some kind of contact with
(02:31):
the couple, and I don't know how they're related, but
the guy was killed, woman was shot, rushed to the hospital,
she didn't make it, and now they're trying to get
this guy out of that house. But again, it's east
of the seven to ten Freeway and just south of
the ninety one freeway, So you're if you're traveling on
the seven to ten Freeway and you're going south, right
(02:53):
as you pass the ninety one, it's off to your
left hand side, and that's where we'll see a lot
of helicopters, a lot of SWAP member trying to get
this guy out of that house or structure that he's in.
So that's the latest in Long Beach with the standoff.
Nobody not sure what happened. There are a lot of
(03:13):
cops out there, a lot of action, a lot of
closed streets. And again, if you're on the seven ten
going north, before you get to the n ninety one,
look off to the right and you'll see helicopters, news helicopters,
the Long Beach Police helicopter, maybe even the Sheriff's department.
A lot of action right where the seven to ten
(03:34):
and the ninety one meet there in Long Beach. So, Angel,
is that screwing up traffic on the seven ten or
is that flowing pretty good?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
It seems to be flowing pretty good. I'm double checking
right now. But you know, while I'm pulling that up,
that neighborhood is actually in Really it's a great neighborhood.
They've got a lot of nicely well manicured.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I saw that, Yeah, and it's just beautiful. I mean,
these are people that are homeowners that take a lot
of pride in their home and it's a nice little community.
But the seven ten seems to be moving along, just
flying through that area. It's always busy right there at
the ninety one and the seven ten, but it might
be a little heavier than usual, you know, on that connector,
(04:18):
especially from the seven ten north to the ninety one.
That looks a little more backed up than usual right now.
So I'm sure there's a lot of stuff to look
at while you're driving by, with the helicopters that Timmy
said were flying around and just all the action going
on over there with that ongoing investigation.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, you can always tell when you're looking at the
you know, the the aerial view of a neighborhood. I
do a pool count to see what's going on. Anytime
you see, you know, two pools on the same street
that have no water in them or are black, then
it's this picture is probably taken some time in the winter,
(04:57):
but yeah, that's that's what's happening. East sixty third. It
comes to a stop right there. That's a cul de
sac on East sixty third, the three hundred block of
East sixty third, And then just north of that is
a mobile home park and I don't know if they've
closed that down or if the suspect is in that neighborhood,
but there's a fairly huge villa park is just north
(05:21):
of them, and a Looha circle is the big base there,
the big center of the mobile arm home park. Aloha
circle Ding dong with a Loha circle. All right, all right,
we got some other news as well. We're following the
fires to see what the updates. A lot of structured,
(05:41):
a lot of homes have burned. The update we talked
about that earlier on the fires. A lot more houses
have burned than people thought. You know, people thought maybe
five six homes maybe you know, per fire, but there's
a lot more than that. And that's why every time
something like this happens, man these insurance rates, it's going
(06:03):
to give the insurance companies another excuse to jack these
rates up. And you're going to see it happen again
in the mountains in Orange County where the Airport fire is,
the line fire in San Bernardino, and especially the Bridge fire,
and you'll see these homes that you know, a lot
of these homeowners do not have insurance because it is
(06:23):
unbelievably expensive, and so they have nothing. Now you know,
their entire home is gone there. You know, they may
have been there for thirty, forty fifty years. It's gone,
and all they have is the property to sell. And
that's not you know, worth a hell of a lot
without a home there. But it's more than that. It's
all the memories you know of raising kids and grandkids
(06:44):
and hoping to leave that home to your kids or
grandkids in the future. And that's over. And so the
people who don't have insurance, I don't know what they do.
I don't know where they go, you know. I mean,
they've had they had a beautiful home up in the
mountains in either Right Would or Mount Wilson area, and
now that's gone. They don't have insurance, so they can't
(07:05):
rebuild it. They have the cast rebuild it. And now
they've got to find something else, you know, in their
seventies or eighties, they're gonna have to be moving in
with kids or grandkids to get to get by. And
that's not the way they wanted to end their life.
And and again that line fire, it's suspicious. They they've
arrested somebody for arson with the with the line fire.
(07:28):
And there's now you know, more than probably a dozen
couples who are having to move in and a you know,
an apartment or move in with the kids because this
a hole decided to light that mountain on fire. It's unbelievable,
it really, it really is amazing, all right. Also, the
utilities shut the shut off in Rolling Hills, and I
(07:51):
also heard something out there in the chats Worth not Chatsworth,
but out where the uh right off the one oh one.
We're the Kardashians from what's in the Calabasas right, not
in the Calabasas area too. They're cutting off electricity and
gas to update services out there. And the one thing
wealthy people don't like is to have their electricity and
(08:13):
their gas shut off. They can't handle it. They don't
like being out of the internet. They don't like having
their lights off, their alarm systems not working, their garage
doors aren't working. They hate it. But it's happening out
there as well. They're upgrading the system. It's not a
power outer, it's a planed power outage, but they don't
like planned power outages. Wealthy people don't like that at all.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Conway show.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I got power outages, ladies and gentlemen across southern California
and La County. A lot of it is affected by
the I imagine by the fires. But we have nine
six and fifty one customers, almost ten thousand customers affected
in La County, two hundred and eighty one outages right now,
according to SCEE Southern California Electric. Now, there might be
(09:07):
more within the city of La with the LADWP, but
these are just Southern California Edison. So ten thousand people
with two hundred and eighty one outages in La County.
Then we have Orange County eighty four outages. Four thousand
customers are out of power. Riverside one hundred and eighteen outages,
(09:29):
six two hundred and three customers without power. San Bernardino.
This is one. This is where the it gets huge
and gnarly and horrible. There's one hundred and fifty seven
outages and a lot of it I imagine is because
of the line fire. So fourteen thousand, five hundred customers
(09:49):
without electricity. Fourteen thousand, five hundred, and I think that's
We've Ventura, seven thousand customers without power in Ventura, Okay.
Now at Hidden Hills, a lot of wealthy people live
out in Hidden Hills. Every home is worth ten, fifteen
to twenty million dollars and they're going to have a
power outage starting this Friday at nine am. So when
(10:12):
you get the kids off to school, you'll come home
at nine am. They're going to shut your power off
for a lot of people live in in that area,
Hidden Hills, and it's going to be off until three pm,
from nine am until three pm because the crew is
doing some work there on safety and they don't want
to get zapped, and so they're going to shut your
(10:33):
electricity off. At least that's the plan so far. It's
going to be Friday from nine am until three pm
in Hidden Hills, So be careful out there as well.
And you know, those homes are pretty safe. There's a
there's a guard there. There's a security guard there twenty
four hours a day. It's a gated community and a
(10:56):
lot of people with a lot of money live in
that area and they don't like the electricity off, but
it's being shut off this Friday, nine am till three pm.
I also the Rolling Hills area, the land movement out
there in Pacific Peninsula or Palace Vertage utility shut offs,
(11:17):
there's more of them coming, more trouble for this area.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
We're told that the gas will be shut off at
three o'clock today. This all started in the Portuguese Bend
area and slowly but surely it's been affecting nearby neighborhoods
Sky five overhead this morning as the gas company is
preparing to shut down gas to at least thirty three homes.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Even more homes, there's another thirty three. They're gonna be
shut down right now.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
They say there could be up to fifty homes being affected.
The utility companies made the announcement initially saying that fifty
homes would be affected and termination is expected to be indefinite.
The land is rapidly shifting, so much so that it's
about a foot a week.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Officials say the heavy rate that's a lot. When your
house is moving a foot a week, that's fifty two
feet a year. That is a tremendous amount of movement.
That it's about a foot a week.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Officials say the heavy rains cause major problems for residents.
Engineers are actively looking into how they can slow this movement,
but it's happening faster than many have expected. Many of
these areas in the evacuation warning zone. As well as
not having utilities, the other concern is not having sewer
system because the pumps seed electricity to operate.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Now, oh no, sewage is going to back up as well,
so no electricity, no gas, not it not enough no
electricity for this sewage. That's horrible. But I guarantee you
there's some people out there with a sense of humor,
you know, sort of a dark sense of humor, and
probably telling the neighbors. You know, at this rate, we'll
be we'll have an ocean front property soon. You know
(12:45):
that there are some people out there who have kept
their sense of humor. I could understand if you lost it, though,
I could understand that as well.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
The governor has declared a state of emergency and renals
palace brutus and affected areas. Sadly, many of these homes
have no other options. Insurance does not I'll cover Landslnes,
and many people feel helpless, and it's a problem that
is only getting worse.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, it sucks that insurance doesn't cover when the land moves.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
Well, we realize that there's a lot of movement on
the peninsula. The peninsula is very big and rolling hills
from everything that I and my neighbors can see is
not being affected like that. Throughout the city there may
be like little one inch fissures, but it really feels
like the utilities are trying to get ahead of themselves,
(13:28):
and they're they're shutting us down when maybe they shouldn't be.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Many neighbors are upset today, they say, what is going
on in RPV is not what's going on in Rolling Hills.
And we drove up to Rolling Hills, and you can
tell the land, especially the roadways, look practically normal compared
to what we've seen in RPV.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Yeah, it's really tough out there, very tough out there.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Well, this is one of those situations that very critical,
dire situation, especially when you're living here in Rolling Hills.
This is the estate right behind me.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
A nice game. By the way, They've got to change
then of that town. They got to stop calling it
Rolling Hills. Oh yeah, they get we get it, we
get it. Point Yeah, it's moving a little much, Yeah,
rolling too much, Hills, rolling radically, Rolling Hills, sit still Hills. Yes,
how about yeah, right exactly, we're never going to move again.
Hills don't right, Hills, don't budge Hills. That's right. Need
(14:20):
a new name change out there. Wouldn't that be great
if they changed the name and all of a sudden
it stopped. It's just the name that was stepping up
the land.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
That's right, yes, right behind me, a nice gated community
and that's because of a landslide that is very close by.
SO Power and Gas. That is a situation here. But
as you take a look, this is the front area
and unfortunately we're not able to go past the gate. However,
a lot of those homes, dozens of them, are in
that critical situation.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Take a look.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
So cal Gas says they will be shutting off service
to thirty five homes in Rolling Hills by Monday at
about three pm due to ongoing land movement in the
Palace Verte.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
They've been deemed no longer safe. You know that people
who don't even live anywhere near that are scared to
death that this is going to take off and there's
going to keep moving and moving, and it's gonna expand
and expand, and it's gonna it's gonna drive a lot
of people crazy, a lot of people crazy. Plus, you
cannot sell a home anywhere near that area right now.
(15:21):
If you're looking to sell and get out, move out
of California, you know, I don't go to Iowa or
Colorado wherever your dream was. Man, is it going to
be tough to sell that house now? Almost impossible, almost impossible.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
No longer safe to use natural gas. This includes nine
homes on Cinching Road and nine homes on Portuguese Ben Road.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Additionally, gotta change the name of that road. Got to
change the name Portuguese Ben Road.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
God Portuguese Ben Road. Additionally, Southern California Edison has informed
fifty one homeowners that power will soon be turned off
as well.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, that's that's in addition to all the other homes
that have already been turned off.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Southern California Edison has advised those residents the power will
be shut off indefinitely by Wednesday night, with outages possibly
at any time before then. In the meantime, the city
urging utility companies to explore engineering solutions to try and
maintain services while ensuring public safety. Over in the nearby
(16:18):
Rancho Pelas Verdes area, it's been hard hit. As we know.
The landslide has caused entire homes to collapse or tear apark,
bringing the total number of affected homes in Rancho Pelas
Verdes to roughly two hundred.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Oh my god, two hundred homes out there, beautiful homes
with great views. They had it made, they bought you know,
twenty thirty, forty fifty years ago when there wasn't an
issue out there, and they've had a beautiful life out there,
and then we had two seasons of rain last year
and then this past winter of record breaking rain or
(16:52):
nearly record breaking rain, and it's on the move. They've
tried to pump all the water out of there, but
you just can't. There's not enough pumps to to bail
all that water out of there. Even if you do
take all the water out, you know, the land becomes
so saturated you can't dry it out. And I don't
know what the solution is, but I hope it doesn't,
you know, continue to expand and into other neighbors there.
(17:16):
It's just it's one of the most beautiful areas in
Los Angeles. If you've never been out there, it truly
is the view that they have. It's not very crowded
on weekends. There's not a lot of public beaches out there.
There's these huge cliffs to get down to the beach,
so people go to Santa Monica or you know, Huntington
Beach instead Manhattan Beach. But you don't go to Palace
(17:38):
Verte to go to the beaches, and so they don't
have a lot of traffic in that area, and so
it's really secluded, really private, really quiet, and now these
homes are moving. It is a huge disaster.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Hey, there's a website. I don't know how popular it is.
I often go there though, because I think they have
a pretty good oversight panel on judging businesses. It's called
Quality Business Awards, and they just named Yang Choo the
best Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, and that means something.
(18:21):
It's on eight eight nineteen North Broadway in downtown Los Angeles.
It got five stars in satisfaction, service, reputation, and quality.
And they've awarded Yang Choo Restaurant as the best Chinese
restaurant in Los Angeles for twenty twenty four overall score
of ninety five percent. So I'm looking around at other awards,
(18:42):
other restaurants that got awards, and the best Mexican restaurant
in Semi Valley is a restaurant that's also in Burbank
and a restaurant that I go to all the time,
which I'd love and I can't believe it's now number
one in Seemi Valley. It's don Kuka's, you know. They
have two in Burbank and one in Siami Valley, and
(19:03):
the Semi Valley location is on thirty nine to ninety
one Cochrane Street in Siami Valley. According to Quality Business Awards,
it's the number one Mexican restaurant in Seami Valley, rated
number one for twenty twenty four. And so they obviously
have the same food as the one in Burbank, and
(19:24):
that place is always packed. The bar there is always packed.
I went to their last time, and I haven't been
there in I don't know, six months or so. Just
to sit at the bar myself and watch the game.
I eat Taketo's. That's all I eat. I'm like twelve,
and have a coke. I have the same palette that
I had when I was in Missus Bernstein's class in
(19:47):
third grade. Taketo's and a coke. That's my meal. I
enjoyed it in third grade at the first Tiketo I
ever had was Olivera Street. In third grade, went to
a field trip to Olvera Street and I had taketos,
fell in love with them, and I haven't changed since
(20:08):
my wife constantly busts my balls. I don't know why.
We go to a great Mexican restaurant and I get
the taketo's. You know what she does now, she gets
me the crans and the little coloring, the color book
of menu placement. That's the placement. Yeah, I get to
connect the numbers on the placement.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
You make ticktak toe all over the free spaces seat
written on it because nobody can win a game.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh, you've seen me. For some reason, I hooked up
with the Ketos and I've I've not stopped. I got
them two nights ago. But anyway, I went to Don
Cuco's on Friday and there were four people in the
bar that while I was eating, came up and said,
I listened to KFI all the time. Four people, four
a couple, another, a single guy bar and then a
(21:03):
woman that was really loaded. By the way, did you
ding dong them?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah, they all get a ding dog you know. I
asked him, you know what's going on with their lives?
And that whole run. And then I go to the
market right after that and with my wife and ran
into the mother and her daughter and they stopped me
in the eye and say, well, this is a KFI
all the time. So look, it's not it has nothing
to do with me. It's the station. Because in the
(21:30):
twelve years I worked at Kala Sex, I got recognized
three times in twelve years. Three times, I remember every
one of them. First time was at a target after
being there for four years, somebody said, hey you on
Kala Sex. I'm like, yeah, hell do you know? But
being here at KFI, it happens all the time because
this is the number one talk station in Los Angeles
(21:52):
and Crozier. I think it's the number one talk station
in the United States. Oh yeah, you know, number one
on their app.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
I iHeart app by a of all the thousands of
stations that they have.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, and I was listening to Andrew Caravella. He came in.
He was doing news for you on on Friday, and
he said, whenever he runs into people in the Upper
Debt he lives in the Victorville area. Whenever he runs
into people, they they if they listen to CAFI, they
always listen to this show. And John Colpel I guess
that's like, you know, he was kind of but this
(22:25):
station blasts all over southern California, So whenever there's an
earthquake or a fire, it's it was always my go
to station before I worked here, and and it stayed
that way. Every time there's an earthquake, and you're sure
on KFI they're already talking about it. And and I
hate to say weird because I don't even feel like
I'm still part of the station. Hey, as long as
I've been here, I died. I feel the same way
(22:47):
as you. Isn't that weird? Every time I walk into
this building, I feel like I'm the new guy. I
still do. I feel like everybody here has been here
longer than I have. And it's true. Bill Handle's been
here longer, Gary has been here longer, Shannon's been here longer,
so is John. The newest guy is Moe Kelly, and
he's been here twelve years, and everybody else is you know,
(23:09):
I've been here fourteen years, and I still every time
I walk in, I feel like I is my first
day here. It's weird. It is weird me too, But
I'm glad you feel the same way, Chroch. It's not
just me, truly, do you know, Because if you never
want to get too comfortable.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
That has been a running theme throughout my entire thirty years.
I'm the same way. And they said, if especially in radio,
if you work in radio, if you dare put a
nail into a wall and hang a picture in your office,
good night. Yes, don't hang anything the next the next
day they it's over. So so you go to these
(23:46):
offices like Petro some money and Gary and Shannon the
same thing. You go into Gary and Shannon's office, there's
not a picture on the wall because they know the
rule of thumb. The moment you put a wall, the
moment you put a nail into a wall to hang
a picture, the moment you think you're going to be
here that long you got the SS you got to
going on, You're gone.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
No frames, don't want any frames with pictures in him
at all. None, family, wife, husband, kids, nothing. Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
The only one that has pictures is Chris Little, who's
the news director, and he's got a picture of his
kid and I and I do this with everybody who
starts here. And there's probably been twenty people who started
in the newsroom since I've been here. But if he
has an interview with somebody, I grabbed the guy or
the gal afterwards, and I said, hey, was it was
(24:34):
it weird that he has a picture of a young
man in a speedo behind him, all wet, like he
just got out of the pool. And the guy whoever
is interviewing goes, yeah, I assume that's, you know, his
kid that plays water polo, And I go, he doesn't
have kids, And they all buy it. They're like, what
(24:58):
the hell, there's.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
Always that long and they look at you one raised eye,
brown and they go and then the realization hits yeah,
and then like six months later like, oh, I guess
he does have kids, Like, oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I didn't know. I was unaware if he had kids.
I didn't know. All right, Power outages all over the place.
A lot of it has to do with the fires.
The line fire in San Bernardino, Arson suspected in that fire,
the bridge fire that burned you know, one hundred acres here,
hundred acres there, hundred acres there, and then bang thirty
(25:30):
four thousand acres like in about an hour last week.
That's one that made its way into right Wood. And
then the airport fire in Tribuco Canyon, which really went
south and east on them all the way to Riverside.
So three big fires. We've had all the information here.
Thank god it's cooler and the firefighters can get a
handle on this. And then we have the standoff in
(25:52):
Long Beach going on, and if we can come back
with any information, any new information, we'll have that for
you as well, covering everything.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Ding Dong. Workplace behavior. It's money. We're all back to
work again. And this is a survey out there of
America's most hated workplace behaviors, the crap that people hate
from other coworkers. Find out what's irritating everybody.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
I'm upster dot com has come up with a list
of the top five rudest behaviors in the workplace.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
All right, let's see how many of them are happening
right here at kfive.
Speaker 10 (26:35):
Coming in at number one. Not cleaning up after yourself bingo.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Case in point.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Someone left this dental floss pick in our control room.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
That's that's fantastic. A dental flaws pick in the control
room already used. That is rich for our.
Speaker 11 (26:59):
Producers to find this way there's a close up.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
No one knows if it's used or not. But again,
no one's brave enough to it's used.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
It's used, Oh.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
Taylor's saying it's used, and no one's brave enough to
touch it, So then you're just going to walk around
it all morning. Number two on the list of rude behavior, gossiping,
rounding out the top five, using inappropriate language, being unresponsive
to messages, and consistently being late to meetings.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Wow, man, we got them, We got them all.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
Here, rounding out the top five using inappropriate language.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Inappropriate language. Okay, I would say, other than Sharon Bellio,
that everybody here is guilty of that. Everybody that I
know who works here, especially on KFI, swears all the time,
all the time. Except Bellio. She never ever swears. I've
(27:49):
heard her twice, once used the F word and once
the B word. It was all in the same week.
She was out in a bad week. That was the
week that she got frustrated and picked up a fax
machine and threw it across the room. It was a
rough week for Pellio, really rough week. But I've only
heard it do it twice and nothing since then. That
was eight years ago.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Being unresponsive to messages and consistently being late to meetings.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, I don't know who's late anymore.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
The job website pulled more than a thousand US workers.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, all right, all right, I don't know. I don't.
No one can use traffic as an excuse anymore, you know,
because you have ways and you'll know exactly how long
it's going to take you to get from your house
to work. And Nope, when you say you know you
got stuck in traffic, unless it's a freeway that's been
closed because of either gunshots or fire or whatever, nobody
(28:41):
buys that anymore. That traffic and that's why you were late,
that's not an excuse anymore, all right. The titan submersible,
remember that. I think that was only a year ago
where everybody went down to see the Titanic and it
ended pretty horrifically for everybody in that submersible.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
The Coastguard has begun an official hearing looking into the
ill fated journey of the titan submersible, which imploded as
it dove toward the wreckage of the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
The only saving grace of that story is the US Navy.
The United States Navy because the United States Navy they
heard that explosion forty two hundred miles from where it happened.
So the one saving grace, one silver lining, is that
the Navy is still firing on all eight. They heard
(29:32):
that explosion from forty two one hundred miles away and
didn't really think much of it, and then put two
and two together, and that was the explosion of that submersible.
That is great technology and a great US Navy.
Speaker 11 (29:48):
We're already learning a lot about what led to that
doomed voyage. That head contractor for Ocean Gates said he
wouldn't even get in the submersible, and when the top
engineer voiced his safety concerns, he got fired.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Everything that I could do, well, that makes sense, right,
if you're gonna be a NARC, they're gonna fire you.
Speaker 11 (30:07):
And when the top engineer voiced his safety concerns.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, what they do, they listened to him. He got fired.
Speaker 12 (30:12):
Ah, I got let go everything that I could do
to tell him, like hear the alarms and this is
why we shouldn't go.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
We're there. Yeah, they went anywhere, and they went anyway
and so long.
Speaker 11 (30:25):
Despite more than one hundred red flags, over two years.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
What Wait a minute, what.
Speaker 11 (30:30):
Despite more than one hundred red flags over two years.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Seems like a lot. When you're going a couple miles
deep into the ocean, there shouldn't be any red flag
you want one, but a couple hundred.
Speaker 11 (30:41):
In June of twenty twenty three, Ocean Gate CEO Stockton
Rush took four others into the North Atlantic on the
titans submersible to see the wreckage of the RMS Titanic.
One hour fifteen minutes into the trip, the sub imploded,
killing all five on board.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
And another another thing you can point to and say, look,
at least they died instantly. They died before their brain,
you know, could recognize that pain is on its way.
They died within a fraction of a second, so there
wasn't even enough time for the brain to register what
(31:20):
was going on, and they vaporized.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
You wanted me to buy off on the idea of
going to the Titanic, and I told them, no, it
can like it's not clean.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
The Coastguard held a hearing today to reveal the findings
of a year long investigation, and.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
I don't get that. I really don't understand that there's
two hundred red flags. I understand it's a business. You
got to keep making money and you got to keep
a reputation up. I get that. But when somebody says
there's two hundred red flags, you still put five or
four human beings in that thing and lowered it down
to the Titanic. Something's going on.
Speaker 11 (31:52):
To reveal the findings of a year long investigation into
the deadly voyage of the ocean Gate vessel, they also
questioned experts about certification, communication, technology, and construction. The head
engineer for Oceangate cautioned Rush not to take the trip,
citing problems with the hull, among other things.
Speaker 12 (32:11):
The submersible. What we're doing has never been done before.
We don't have classing direction on what good looks like,
I said. Nobody knows what good looks like or what
it's supposed to look like, I said, But what I
do know is it shouldn't look like that.
Speaker 11 (32:26):
Investigators shared this animation showing key moments of the dive,
as captured in text. Communication between Titan and the base
station above water. The polar prints ten fifteen am yes,
all good here. Thirty two minutes later, all communication was lost.
That set off in international search and treacherous waters for
(32:46):
any sign of the titan.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, do you remember that where they had the Navy
out there, a lot of search vehicles and they were
combing hundreds of square miles looking for this thing.
Speaker 11 (32:56):
People were even counting down to the moment the crew
would hypothetically lose oxygen, but the implosion was instantaneous. Some
of the wreck was found four days later, only a
quarter mile from the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, that was a crazy time. And I remember we
were on the air for that, and you know, every
single day there was a countdown to when that when
the oxygen would expire. But it turns out that it couldn't.
It didn't stand a chance it exploded or imploded the
moment it reached a couple thousand feet and and all
(33:31):
those people died. And for them to have that many
red flags and that many warnings, especially from the technical
staff and the engineers aboard that ship is outrageous, outrageous.
And there these are very wealthy people. You know, Wealthy
people like to do crazy stuff like, for instance, the spacewalk.
(33:53):
Wealthy people went up last week and walked in space.
Speaker 10 (33:56):
Wealthy people tech billionaire is back on Earth. After completing
the first private spacewalk.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
And there you can.
Speaker 13 (34:02):
See what a cool moment. The space Ex capsule carrying
Jared Isaacman and his crew splashed down in the Gulf
of Mexico overnight. During their five day spaceflight, the crew
also tested some new space suits. Isaacman was joined on
the mission to buy two SpaceX engineers and a former
(34:23):
Air Force Thunderbird pilot. He reportedly paid two hundred million
dollars for the spacewalk. He reportedly paid two hundred million
dollars for the spacewalk.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Talk about pocket change that you know that you can
toss around two hundred million dollars to walk in space.
That's unbelievable. All right, Mark Ronner, who does the news
anchors for Emo Kelly Show. But you turned me onto
a show called Slow Horses, and I didn't think anything
(34:55):
of it. But it did really well in the awards
last night. Yeah it did. What do you mean you
didn't think anything of it. I don't know. I thought,
you know, it's just ron or he's just.
Speaker 9 (35:02):
Oh you didn't watch the show and think nothing of that?
You thought nothing of my recommendation. Thanks for the clarification.
That's correct. Okay, Well I feel better.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
But I like that when somebody recommends a show and
it does well. That was a it was a you know,
it was a long shot to win those awards and
did really well.
Speaker 9 (35:18):
Well, here's the deal. It's a really entertaining, solid spy show.
But with the advantage of Gary Oldman saying the most
foul insults to everybody in the cast, it's really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
He's the best. Yeah, yeah, he really is.
Speaker 9 (35:31):
I've loved him ever since the old every one day.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
I think he's terrific. Tell me again, what it's on.
What's streaming service? Apple Plus? Apple Plus?
Speaker 9 (35:40):
All right, you must it's on season four, just started
and it's only got two episodes end of the season
already terrific.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Okay, and real quickly and we got to go. You
guys got to start the show. Would you consider the
Bear a comedy?
Speaker 9 (35:53):
No, it got me really tense. I thought I was
gonna have to take his annex. I gotta be honest
with you.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, I don't know. It's not like a Seinfeld or
Friends received another kind of comic vibe. Seinfeld doesn't make
your chest pound like that. That's right. Not normally all right,
