Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
On the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
And Angel Martinez from what I understand on your last
traffic report that Laurel Canyon is closed.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
And what does it closed because of an accident? Is
there water main broken?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's a it's a crash, apparently a fatal wreck, and
it's yeah, it's on the backside of the hills. So
coming up from West Hollywood and it's right in between
me get the streets here, Donia Pagda and Donia Dureda,
So right in between those two streets it's off limits.
(00:42):
And where that is all right?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So it's on the valley side of Mulholland. What are
you eating?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
What?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
What are you eating?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I was swallowing a piece of keish ah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Nice, Yeah, it was delicious.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's on the valley side and right in between West
Laurelwood and East Laurelwood. It's just on the inland side
of Mulholland Drive. So a lot of people jammed up
on Mulholland and that's really an alternate for a lot
of people that are stuck in the canyon right now,
coming out from West Hollywood. It is a nightmare. I mean,
(01:22):
DeLay's backing up all the way from Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
All right, back to the Keish. Thank you, Angel Martinez
speaking of Keish. God loves Keish. Alex Michaelson, how you.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Bob being done with you? I'm so hungry?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It did sound good, didn't it It does?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Keith sounds great, buddy, Laurel Canyon is closed.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And you know what that does to people. It makes
them crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I know, especially on a Friday night. You're trying to
relax and be in a good headspace and all that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It is the worst big news week again. We've got
the Department of Education closing down.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Well not technically closing down. Wow to do that, but
they're going to try to pull back on it quite
a bit and there's probably not going to be a
whole lot less there. It's interesting if you're a Trump
cabinet appointee, because some of them you get a lot
of power, and some of them you're the person who
is hired to get rid of the department. Imagine that's
(02:24):
your job, Like they did the same with Carrie Lake,
remember her, like the woman who ran the Arizona and
Center in Arizona. She's brought on to lead the Voice
of America and then immediately basically disbands Voice of America.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You know it's Linda McMahon.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Congrats to got to be a cabinet secretary. Now destroy
the department.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
If it was any other administration, that would be the
big story of the year that they were trying to
shut down the Department of Education. It's not even the
top twenty.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
No, not even close. But it'll be interesting to see
what actually happens from it and how much it impacts. Frankly,
our area. You think of the Los Angeles Unified School
District and a lot of what the Department of Education
does is it really helps a lot of low income
students and does different subsidies and programs for them. And
(03:11):
that program that district, which the superintendent said again today,
eighty five percent of the district the kids are living
in poverty. So the federal poverty line for a family
of three or fours around twenty five thousand dollars a year.
To think about that their parents are making less than
twenty five thousand dollars a year living in southern California
(03:34):
on that and sending their kids to school eighty five
percent of that district. It shows you just the you know,
we live in two different worlds a lot of people.
And that's in perspective on how much poverty there is
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And by the way, I imagine the poverty line in
Los Angeles is more like sixty or seventy thousand. Anybody
below sixty grand is probably living in.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Poverty based off of the houses. Yeah, yeah, I mean
it's hard to especially if you have multiple kids and
all the rest of it. You know, it's really challenging.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
In downtown San Francisco, that number is one hundred and
ten thousand. If you make less than one hundred and
ten thousand, you're considered poverty in San Francisco.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Wow, it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Is that really actually? Is that actually true?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think it is. I'd have to look that number up.
That was last year's number, but I think it's closed.
I think it's closed.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
All right, Watching the Issue is last week was a
great show, and I think you have some special guests
tonight as well on ten thirty.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, so we're sitting down with Jane Fonda tonight, the
legendary actress, and we went out to Santa Barbara, where
there's this big fight over the future of oil. They
know there's a lot of oil in that area. This company, Sable,
wants to start up the pipeline there that ruptured in
twenty fifteen with the Refugio State Beach oil spill. A
(04:58):
lot of people remember that big fight going on right
now and whether that should continue and really what should
we do for oil in this state. So Jane Fonda,
Julia Luis Dreyfus are trying to stop this pipeline. We
talked to both of them. We talked to the guy
from Sable who's helping to leave this pipeline and his perspective,
and a lot of the workers there who say this
(05:18):
is going to help lower gas prices for people. And
we talked to Governor Newsom's guy on the environment, who's
who's overseeing all of this. So it's interesting to hear
perspectives from all of them in terms of where do
we go. But this is an issue that impacts all
of us every time we go to the gas station
every day, and and and sort of a larger kind
(05:39):
of question on where we are with the climate movement
at a time when the Trump administration's you know, motto
is drill Baby, Drill, drill baby.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
A lot a lot of.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
These projects, including this one, that may not have gotten
a lot of approval before. Now it's like, let's go baby.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Hey, I'm opening up my own pipeline. Everyone should have
their own pipeline.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
So and so the question is, you know, on this
sort of thing where there's all this money at stake,
is this something that Governor Newsom tries to get involved
with or stop her and you kind of let it,
let it go. And and Jane Fonda called out Governor
Newsom in our interviews saying are you are you Chamberlain
or are you Churchill? You know, which is pretty dramatic
(06:23):
in terms of what's happening here. And so she's she,
i think, is using our show as a way to
get at the governor and to try to put him
on the defensive.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
When you interviewed her, was she sitting in an anti
aircraft gun in Vietnam?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
You know, there are clearly a lot of people that
are not that will always remember that's the right reason.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And one of them is on the phone with you
right now.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
We talked about that a little bit and the Vietnam experience,
and she has said that that is the biggest regret
of her life. She has said that that was a
huge mistake that she can never bring it back. But
she also talked about how much she loves the troops
and what she's been doing for the troops and some
of the misconceptions about her and the troops, and that
(07:11):
was part of the conversation as well. But you know,
obviously there's a lot of people that still are never
going to forgive or forget that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Let me ask you a quick question.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Let's say you're a war correspondent during the Iraq War. Okay, Yeah,
you fly over to Iraq, you're in the Green Zone,
and you decide to get into an Iraqi anti aircraft
gun that shoots down American planes for an interview. Wouldn't
she be pretty sure that that's not the right move?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I would be, yes, Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Just wondering. All right, I got the number wrong for
San Francisco. I got it wrong. You ready for it?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Okay? What is it?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A brand new twenty twenty three numbers classify an individual
making one hundred and four and a half thousand dollars
one hundred and four thousand, four hundred dollars annually as
low income in San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marine County.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
For a family of four in these three counties, one
hundred and forty nine one hundred dollars a year is
considered low income.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Wow, is that crazy?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Low income is low income? Is different than the federal line. Okay, lower,
but but yes, close. That is crazy. It's crazy. It's
crazy with our state that we've now gotten to this
point and that and it's a huge reason why our
biggest issue continues to be housing and housing affordability and
people not being able to afford to live in this state.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's right, that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So the issue is tonight at ten thirty pm. Are
you going to the San Juan Compistrano Parade?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Have you ever been in it?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I have not?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Are you yes?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Are you tomorrow parade? This weekend?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'm in the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And if I if I, if I knew that you
were available, I would have invited you to be on
our horse drawn carriage.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh my god, invite me next year. I actually would go.
That sounds like a lot of fun. I love Estrato,
it's beautiful. I'm doing another charity event tomorrow called Cycle
for Survival that Equinox does. It's a bike ride. They've
raised four hundred million dollars for a rare cancers amazing
thing cycle no cycle cycling. So I'm doing that tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
But that sounds like an important charity. Let's not blow
it off. Where is it, what time and how can
people go.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
It's happening at the West La Equinox, the Sports Club
La Equinox, and then it's happening in the South Bay
Equinox on Sunday, So tomorrow's West La Sunday is the
South Bay. It's a day long thing where people are
going to be riding bikes. It's raising money. It's a
big party. You can come just sort of show up.
(09:53):
I think the first ride is that. I think it
goes from like eight eight am to two pm. I
think is when it's kind of it is when that's happening.
You can get more information at cyclefor Survival dot com
if people want to look into it, or if you
want to donate if you can't show up. The donations
are certainly appreciated, and they've made tremendous progress. Four hundred
million dollars is real money. Wow, And it's a really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Cause cycle for Survival dot Com. Are you a cyclist?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
No, but I do it every year and it's more
of a party, it's like it than it is for
maybe serious cyclists. Okay, So that that that makes me
feel better. Are you do you do you cycle on
the week? I don't see you doing that.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I used to have a bike and then somebody stole
it and I gave it up. I said, great, Okay, Bunnie,
appreciate coming on tonight ten thirty. The issue is on
Fox eleven.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I'm so excited for the people of San Juan Capistrano.
What an honor they have. Thank you have you And
they're parades all right?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, okay, let's let's not bust each other's balls here, buddy,
all right.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
A dig talk with Alex Michael said, man, there he goes.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty one.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
My favorite guys in the news business used to come
on with us all the time because he was a
night guy like us. Then he became he went for
the money, became a morning guy, and he's back with
us now.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Stu Mandel, who flies.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
The helicopter or shut, I should say, reports for Channel
eleven News in the morning.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Stu, Welcome to KFI. How you bub man?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I missed you, guys, Funny tell you the worst thing,
the worst thing you've ever done for our show is
to move to mornings.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
And uh, you know what, Yeah, I'm still waiting for
the money, but you know, yeah, I did, I did,
I did.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
I did.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I'm sorry, man, but you know I'm here now. I
can love.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I get it. But you know what, we were a
great team.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know, we'd put you on and then you had
You had all the energy of a night guy.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
And I still do I still do you know that energy?
And I just got no outlet anymore. Man, I'm just
a from I'm a frustrated news helicopter guy. That's what
I am now.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For people that don't know this, Uh, Steumandella is with us.
You used to be and and and I don't think
it's a negative term, a stringer.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I like the term.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And then you worked your way into becoming a reporter
for Channel eleven.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Isn't that true?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Well, I know it was. It was. Yeah, well there
was like a large gap between all that. But yeah, yeah, definitely,
I started out as a stringer. Stringers are awesome. They're
still out there. They are a definite Yeah, they're a
definite breed. And and you know, it's funny, it's like
we're all the same. We're like we're different people, but
we're cut from the same cloth. Like you can go
(12:51):
out there, I can go out there.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I grabbed my buddy Marcel, who also was a stringer
now is also in the aerial stuff, and we we
ride around sometimes at night, and you know, he has
a little bit more he has a little bit more
touch with him. But you know, you meet these guys
and it's like you know them all your lives, even
though I just kind of met him or I kind
of babe, we know him. Yeah, Stringing is a thing.
(13:14):
Scringing is definitely a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, And when you get stringing in your blood.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
For instance, you know, it was about a month ago
I was coming back from I went to a retirement
party in Ventura, and you know, we told everybody there
might be sprinkles, it might be a you know, a
light rain. And as I was coming back from Ventura
to Westlake, it was a downpour where I had to
slow down on the freeway and people were slowing down
(13:41):
to about twenty miles an hour. So I quickly whipped
out the camera, pulled over and got some video of that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And you can't take that out of a guy's blood.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
No, you can't. And you know it's funny. It's like
even to this day, when there's a rainy night, you
know that was just free money. That was money falls
from the guy. When you're a stringer, you know, you
go out, you get a couple of shots of rain,
you get a puddle, and you get a card, get
the plane, car crash, and everybody's gonna buy it. Everybody's
gonna buy it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
What was the amount of money you made from video
from a from being a stringer?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
What what video was it? And how much was it?
Do you remember?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
You know what? I don't I don't have the numbers.
I was actually working for somebody, but you know I was.
I was Ennis Cosbia. I was the uh was the
first guy. Yeah, it was the first guy that stumbled
on it. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know.
But but when we found out, yeah, they you know
they My boss at the time was was, let's just
(14:40):
say honest enough to tell me that. I basically, you know,
we made bank. We made that. We had we had
a suburban at the time. We had a new suburban
that had gotten not me. I didn't do it. One
of the other guys had rolled it, wrecked it, totaled it.
It was like a year old. And he told me,
He's like, yeah, we replaced the suburban, all the equipment,
(15:01):
your salary, that idiot's salary, and you know for the
next five years. Wow. That was just annas. So yeah,
you can make you can You can make money being
a stringer. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Buddy. I remember, I clearly remember that footage.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I remember the the hazard lights were on on the car.
It was a dark part of Maulholland And and I
don't remember if it was raining or not, but it
seemed like a cloudy or a foggy night.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It was a real eerie night.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
It was an eerie night. I don't think it was raining,
but we were the ones that had the mysterious woman
in a spur coat? Is it that was? That was
Ennison's girlfriend? Oh wow, I don't even know. I mean
they kind of they kind of just kind of, you know,
they asked the stations not to play it because they
were worried at the time. But but yeah, it was
somebody from a little house on the prairie. That's all
(15:51):
I vaguely remember. But yeah, everybody was like, hey, who's
that woman? Who's that woman? And I'm like, I don't know.
I just was, you know, I showed up at the scene.
We thought, if you want to stay with the Ennisty,
we thought that that was somebody changing a tire because
it came out as a call of a person down
next to a car, right and they were changing a tire,
and you know, people get killed that way, especially up
(16:13):
the four or five, and when you hear that call,
that's what I was expecting to roll up on. I
had no idea it was a shooting. I had no
idea it was Kennis Cosby. But you know, you show up,
you shoot. It was a slogan that they used to
stay there's any old stringers listening, they're going to start laughing,
shoot and submit yeah, shoot and submit, don't think about it,
just shoot it and turn it in. And that's what
(16:33):
we used to do.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Sevenella's with us.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
A fly is reporter for Channel eleven in the morning
and the helicopter Stu. I know you've seen this. I've
seen it as well. You know, we've had the radical
fires at the beginning of this year. But it seems
like a lot of landmarks, a lot of his old
historical buildings and landmarks have been burning down in Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Yeah. Yeah, you know the specific dining car, the one
that we just saw, and that was that. I'm sure
it's done. I mean, you know, you can save anything,
but you know, I don't think anybody's going to make
that investment. That's sad. And you know everything, you know,
life is changed. And I know you're a valley guy.
You know you're a valley guy, right and uh and
(17:18):
and I was thinking about this because Belly Oh, let
me in. She said, you know, this is what we're
going to talk about. You know what I missed Sherman
Way and Kester. There was a place there, a burger
place called buds Burgers and it was a free standing
brick building and it was next to a Wincheals and
oh my god, those burgers were amazing. And it was like,
(17:38):
you know, this was high school time for me going
over to Van Nuys High School and and uh and
and we used to go there all the time, gone.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What what you graduate from high school?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Well, if I would have graduated.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Okay, all right, I'm not judging, I'm not judging, they
would have been eight and six, they would have been.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I'm five years is in front of you.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So we used to go to Tommy's on Sherman Way right
near Balboa.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Yes, yep, that one, Yeah, yeah, that him away and Balboa.
There was a Tommy everywhere.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, it was a t O M M I E S.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Because now
it's now it's in right.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, right exactly yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But I remember, look, I I thought the valley, you know,
growing up, and again I was a couple of years
older than you, but I thought the Valley was a
really cool hang growing up Builders Emporium, you know, Poppin
Taco La Fiesta.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It was just a really cool hang growing up.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Towers Tower Records out there, the Sherman Oaks Gallery of
Oh my god, I remember watching Fat Times at Ridgemont
High and I was just like, this is the bible
for my high school, you know you.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And I go back to where you know, Sherman Oaks
Square Fashion where it used to be an outdoor mall.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Yes it was, and then they put then they close
it up, and I think they can probably make it
open again. But yeah, then that was the nice mall,
remember that, that was the nice one. That was the place. Yeah,
that was the that was where all the rich people
blowing out. And then there was the two of the
to Tanga and then Paul book those two down the
West End.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, I mean I go back to the Wiener Factory
on Kester and Ventura, which was a cool hang. You
could buy beer there at sixteen. The guy, the owner
didn't care. He didn't ever idea anybody. And then there
was Malibu Grand Prix. We spent a lot of nights
there as well.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yeah, yeah, Malibu Grant Trix and the Castle Game of
Golf is still there, but it's not the same we got.
I got a love for it to the still standing.
What about it? Wasn't there another Burger place besides Carnies.
There wasn't there like some other trains something or another
around Ventura.

they beat Memphis, which is a number five seed, and
they be in by eight points. They're gonna go on

then we get to the Midwest here, Houston Gonzaga will
(22:00):
be a game coming out of Midwest McNee see, I've
never heard of that college in my life playing Purdue.
And then UCLA will be playing Tennessee. Ucla one they
beat Utah State by don't thirty points or so twenty
some odd points, seventy two to forty seven, and then
Tennessee beat the Wolfford. So Tennessee and UCLA will be
(22:27):
will continue in the tournament.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
All right, here's a collection.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Of the worst news screw ups in the US history.
In news history, these are my top five. Here's one
I remember. I don't know if you remember this, but
there was a Paully Pavilion God got flooded. They have
(22:55):
been eight years ago where water main broke and flooded
the entire gymnasium. And I think they had eventually replaced
the floor at poly pavilion there. And so a guy
called up and pretended to be a fake DWP worker,
and the and the people at at the local news
(23:18):
I think this was ABC didn't catch on until much
later that this guy was a fake phony caller. So
this is a DWP guy calling into ABC News while
Ucla is getting flooded.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
We do have a.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
DWP spokespersonnel on the phone. Lewis slung Pew. I hope
I pronounced the last name correctly.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, So the reporter they they the guy on the phone,
he said his last name is slung Pooh, And that
wasn't a big enough tip to the news anchors that
this guy was a phony guy.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
His last name slung poo.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Elliot.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
What can you tell us about this or is it
something you've ever seen before? Left?
Speaker 7 (24:07):
It is that we have a water and the apparent
cause of the water main that broke was, uh, you
know it's coming in times from our from our from
our turn the ground. Basically that a couple of college
students might have sent down a cherry bombs down the toilet.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Wow, can you say that again?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
You think somebody sent a cherry bomb down to the toilet. Yeah, that,
but we we kind of put on seminars and know
yearly explaining how dangerous it is to send uh. And
he kind of explodes this down down a plummy drain.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
So he's talking about it.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
They set a cherry bomb down a toilet, and they
and their anchors like, what, of course, right now it's done.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
In the investigation, pase, it's your teams that ache that
the break might have come somewhere along the part pavilion
area in one of the locker rooms. It was either
any cherry bomb or someone took a really large dump,
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Okay, So he says there's a cherry bomb or somebody
talk a large dumb and they still are like, wait,
a large dump.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Excuse me, mister, can you say that again?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, sling poo, how big was the dump?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
All right?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Here's here's uh, I'll replace this again.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Here the billion area one of the locker rooms. There
was either a cherry bomb or someone took a really
large dump.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
You know that is an incredible So are you sure
about that?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Is that's a big call.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The other guy figured it out. I think it's a
fake call.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
His name is sling Pooh and he says it took
a big dump. I think we should move on. I
don't know who the anchor was, uh, the female like
that was great?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
All right?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I my top four when we come back.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Top four news busters when we come back, The foremost embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Moments in US news. When we come back, I'll play.
We have audio for all four of them, which is great.
We'll play when we come back.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
You're listening to Tim Kun Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
We have the top four worst news anchor fails.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Top four.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
We already went. We had the first one. We're doing

Jackson with Lawrence Fishburn. Yeah, remember that.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Here we go.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
I tell you, what are you working for? Marvel?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
The super Bowl commercial?
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Did you get a lot of reaction to that super
Bowl commercial?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
He's talking to Samuel Samuel L. Jackson and he thinks
it's Laurence Fishburn?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
What super Bowl commercial? Oh, you know what, my mistake.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
You know you're as crazy as the people on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's my fault.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I know that that was my fault.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
You know what.
Speaker 9 (27:00):
We don't all look alike, you're all black and famous.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
You are guilty. I am I I am guilty.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I am guilty. Thought you were Bob Dylan right. Entertainment report.
I know the entertainment report.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
For this blog, and you don't know the difference between.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I know my mistake, my mistake.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
I apologize, really, my big mistake.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Let's talk about this.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
Would be a very short line for your job.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
You probably would not be alred to get another person
to sit right here.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Let's talk about Robocow. Hell no, that's greatly, that's a great.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
We already get another person to sit right here.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Let's talk about roboco.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Hell, no, really, really, my I apologize.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
But I'm the other guy. But i'm the other guy,
the other one. Your wallet, right, that's right.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
More than one guy doing a commercial, no question about
that's in.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You're a wallet black guy. Okay, he's the car black guy.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Morgan Freeman is the other credit card. You only hear
his voice though, so he probably won't confuse.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Him with that. You're exactly you're out here one hundred
percent right, Uh to RoboCop, you headweight black guy.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
That's like putting cast down in the seat center in
the baseball stadium. But he's also the black guy that
turns off the house, the water and the lights when
his kid tells him the house was cool.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I'm not that guy either. Do we want to do
a list of all the people that you're not?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
And I've actually never done a McDonald's or a Kentucky practic.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I know that's surprising.
Speaker 9 (28:43):
Fair enough, man to the originally only black guy in
RoboCop that's not a criminal than Michael K.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Watt, that's great man, Miss Sam Rubin. Sam Roubin was
the best right this next one number three. It also
includes uh, Sam Rubin and it was well, Sam Rubin
was talking, there was a microphone that was on, and
the woman doing traffic didn't realize her microphone was on.
(29:15):
And I think this is where she calls Sam Rubin fat,
which is something that he used to be pretty offended by.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
My my wife calls it's like, since when did you
become the fat guy on that?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (29:29):
It's the same.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
That was Ginger that did that.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
She didn't know her mic was on, and she said
he's always been the fat guy.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Did you become the fat guy on that?
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (29:48):
The wow wow.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Ah, that is great, Sam Rubin, Man, I missed that, dude.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
All right. Number two local.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Newsperson confesses, Oh we gotta take a break, Okay, welcome back.
We'll play the top two. The local newsperson confesses about blindness.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
And then the number one.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
I think you'll all remember it is the local personality
fails when it comes to news here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I think you'll know the first one that we're gonna
do all.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Right's Conway Show. We're live 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 Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI AM six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
On the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
And Angel Martinez from what I understand on your last
traffic report that Laurel Canyon is closed.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
And what does it closed because of an accident? Is
there water main broken?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's a it's a crash, apparently a fatal wreck, and
it's yeah, it's on the backside of the hills. So
coming up from West Hollywood and it's right in between
me get the streets here, Donia Pagda and Donia Dureda,
So right in between those two streets it's off limits.
(00:42):
And where that is all right?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So it's on the valley side of Mulholland. What are
you eating?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
What?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
What are you eating?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I was swallowing a piece of keish ah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Nice, Yeah, it was delicious.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It's on the valley side and right in between West
Laurelwood and East Laurelwood. It's just on the inland side
of Mulholland Drive. So a lot of people jammed up
on Mulholland and that's really an alternate for a lot
of people that are stuck in the canyon right now,
coming out from West Hollywood. It is a nightmare. I mean,
(01:22):
DeLay's backing up all the way from Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's horrible.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
All right, back to the Keish. Thank you, Angel Martinez
speaking of Keish. God loves Keish. Alex Michaelson, how you.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Bob being done with you? I'm so hungry?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It did sound good, didn't it It does?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Keith sounds great, buddy, Laurel Canyon is closed.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And you know what that does to people. It makes
them crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I know, especially on a Friday night. You're trying to
relax and be in a good headspace and all that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It is the worst big news week again. We've got
the Department of Education closing down.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Well not technically closing down. Wow to do that, but
they're going to try to pull back on it quite
a bit and there's probably not going to be a
whole lot less there. It's interesting if you're a Trump
cabinet appointee, because some of them you get a lot
of power, and some of them you're the person who
is hired to get rid of the department. Imagine that's
(02:24):
your job, Like they did the same with Carrie Lake,
remember her, like the woman who ran the Arizona and
Center in Arizona. She's brought on to lead the Voice
of America and then immediately basically disbands Voice of America.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
You know it's Linda McMahon.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Congrats to got to be a cabinet secretary. Now destroy
the department.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
If it was any other administration, that would be the
big story of the year that they were trying to
shut down the Department of Education. It's not even the
top twenty.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
No, not even close. But it'll be interesting to see
what actually happens from it and how much it impacts. Frankly,
our area. You think of the Los Angeles Unified School
District and a lot of what the Department of Education
does is it really helps a lot of low income
students and does different subsidies and programs for them. And
(03:11):
that program that district, which the superintendent said again today,
eighty five percent of the district the kids are living
in poverty. So the federal poverty line for a family
of three or fours around twenty five thousand dollars a year.
To think about that their parents are making less than
twenty five thousand dollars a year living in southern California
(03:34):
on that and sending their kids to school eighty five
percent of that district. It shows you just the you know,
we live in two different worlds a lot of people.
And that's in perspective on how much poverty there is
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Right.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And by the way, I imagine the poverty line in
Los Angeles is more like sixty or seventy thousand. Anybody
below sixty grand is probably living in.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Poverty based off of the houses. Yeah, yeah, I mean
it's hard to especially if you have multiple kids and
all the rest of it. You know, it's really challenging.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
In downtown San Francisco, that number is one hundred and
ten thousand. If you make less than one hundred and
ten thousand, you're considered poverty in San Francisco.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Wow, it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Is that really actually? Is that actually true?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think it is. I'd have to look that number up.
That was last year's number, but I think it's closed.
I think it's closed.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
All right, Watching the Issue is last week was a
great show, and I think you have some special guests
tonight as well on ten thirty.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Yeah, so we're sitting down with Jane Fonda tonight, the
legendary actress, and we went out to Santa Barbara, where
there's this big fight over the future of oil. They
know there's a lot of oil in that area. This company, Sable,
wants to start up the pipeline there that ruptured in
twenty fifteen with the Refugio State Beach oil spill. A
(04:58):
lot of people remember that big fight going on right
now and whether that should continue and really what should
we do for oil in this state. So Jane Fonda,
Julia Luis Dreyfus are trying to stop this pipeline. We
talked to both of them. We talked to the guy
from Sable who's helping to leave this pipeline and his perspective,
and a lot of the workers there who say this
(05:18):
is going to help lower gas prices for people. And
we talked to Governor Newsom's guy on the environment, who's
who's overseeing all of this. So it's interesting to hear
perspectives from all of them in terms of where do
we go. But this is an issue that impacts all
of us every time we go to the gas station
every day, and and and sort of a larger kind
(05:39):
of question on where we are with the climate movement
at a time when the Trump administration's you know, motto
is drill Baby, Drill, drill baby.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
A lot a lot of.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
These projects, including this one, that may not have gotten
a lot of approval before. Now it's like, let's go baby.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Hey, I'm opening up my own pipeline. Everyone should have
their own pipeline.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
So and so the question is, you know, on this
sort of thing where there's all this money at stake,
is this something that Governor Newsom tries to get involved
with or stop her and you kind of let it,
let it go. And and Jane Fonda called out Governor
Newsom in our interviews saying are you are you Chamberlain
or are you Churchill? You know, which is pretty dramatic
(06:23):
in terms of what's happening here. And so she's she,
i think, is using our show as a way to
get at the governor and to try to put him
on the defensive.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
When you interviewed her, was she sitting in an anti
aircraft gun in Vietnam?
Speaker 4 (06:39):
You know, there are clearly a lot of people that
are not that will always remember that's the right reason.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And one of them is on the phone with you
right now.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
We talked about that a little bit and the Vietnam experience,
and she has said that that is the biggest regret
of her life. She has said that that was a
huge mistake that she can never bring it back. But
she also talked about how much she loves the troops
and what she's been doing for the troops and some
of the misconceptions about her and the troops, and that
(07:11):
was part of the conversation as well. But you know,
obviously there's a lot of people that still are never
going to forgive or forget that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Let me ask you a quick question.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Let's say you're a war correspondent during the Iraq War. Okay, Yeah,
you fly over to Iraq, you're in the Green Zone,
and you decide to get into an Iraqi anti aircraft
gun that shoots down American planes for an interview. Wouldn't
she be pretty sure that that's not the right move?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I would be, yes, Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Just wondering. All right, I got the number wrong for
San Francisco. I got it wrong. You ready for it?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Okay? What is it?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
A brand new twenty twenty three numbers classify an individual
making one hundred and four and a half thousand dollars
one hundred and four thousand, four hundred dollars annually as
low income in San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marine County.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
For a family of four in these three counties, one
hundred and forty nine one hundred dollars a year is
considered low income.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Wow, is that crazy?
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Low income is low income? Is different than the federal line. Okay, lower,
but but yes, close. That is crazy. It's crazy. It's
crazy with our state that we've now gotten to this
point and that and it's a huge reason why our
biggest issue continues to be housing and housing affordability and
people not being able to afford to live in this state.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's right, that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So the issue is tonight at ten thirty pm. Are
you going to the San Juan Compistrano Parade?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Have you ever been in it?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I have not?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Are you yes?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Are you tomorrow parade? This weekend?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'm in the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And if I if I, if I knew that you
were available, I would have invited you to be on
our horse drawn carriage.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh my god, invite me next year. I actually would go.
That sounds like a lot of fun. I love Estrato,
it's beautiful. I'm doing another charity event tomorrow called Cycle
for Survival that Equinox does. It's a bike ride. They've
raised four hundred million dollars for a rare cancers amazing
thing cycle no cycle cycling. So I'm doing that tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
But that sounds like an important charity. Let's not blow
it off. Where is it, what time and how can
people go.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
It's happening at the West La Equinox, the Sports Club
La Equinox, and then it's happening in the South Bay
Equinox on Sunday, So tomorrow's West La Sunday is the
South Bay. It's a day long thing where people are
going to be riding bikes. It's raising money. It's a
big party. You can come just sort of show up.
(09:53):
I think the first ride is that. I think it
goes from like eight eight am to two pm. I
think is when it's kind of it is when that's happening.
You can get more information at cyclefor Survival dot com
if people want to look into it, or if you
want to donate if you can't show up. The donations
are certainly appreciated, and they've made tremendous progress. Four hundred
million dollars is real money. Wow, And it's a really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Cause cycle for Survival dot Com. Are you a cyclist?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
No, but I do it every year and it's more
of a party, it's like it than it is for
maybe serious cyclists. Okay, So that that that makes me
feel better. Are you do you do you cycle on
the week? I don't see you doing that.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I used to have a bike and then somebody stole
it and I gave it up. I said, great, Okay, Bunnie,
appreciate coming on tonight ten thirty. The issue is on
Fox eleven.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I'm so excited for the people of San Juan Capistrano.
What an honor they have. Thank you have you And
they're parades all right?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, okay, let's let's not bust each other's balls here, buddy,
all right.
Speaker 4 (10:58):

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I'll steak to next week.
Speaker 7 (11:01):

Speaker 2 (11:01):
A dig talk with Alex Michael said, man, there he goes.
Speaker 8 (11:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty one.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
My favorite guys in the news business used to come
on with us all the time because he was a
night guy like us. Then he became he went for
the money, became a morning guy, and he's back with
us now.
Speaker 2 (11:22):

eleven News in the morning.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
And uh, you know what, Yeah, I'm still waiting for

Speaker 4 (11:50):
I did.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I'm sorry, man, but you know I'm here now. I

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I get it. But you know what, we were a
great team.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You know, we'd put you on and then you had
You had all the energy of a night guy.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
And I still do I still do you know that energy?
And I just got no outlet anymore. Man, I'm just
a from I'm a frustrated news helicopter guy. That's what
I am now.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For people that don't know this, Uh, Steumandella is with us.
You used to be and and and I don't think
it's a negative term, a stringer.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I like the term.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And then you worked your way into becoming a reporter
for Channel eleven.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Isn't that true?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Well, I know it was. It was. Yeah, well there
was like a large gap between all that. But yeah, yeah, definitely,
I started out as a stringer. Stringers are awesome. They're
still out there. They are a definite Yeah, they're a
definite breed. And and you know, it's funny, it's like
we're all the same. We're like we're different people, but
we're cut from the same cloth. Like you can go
(12:51):
out there, I can go out there.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
You know.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I grabbed my buddy Marcel, who also was a stringer
now is also in the aerial stuff, and we we
ride around sometimes at night, and you know, he has
a little bit more he has a little bit more
touch with him. But you know, you meet these guys
and it's like you know them all your lives, even
though I just kind of met him or I kind
of babe, we know him. Yeah, Stringing is a thing.
(13:14):
Scringing is definitely a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, And when you get stringing in your blood.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
For instance, you know, it was about a month ago
I was coming back from I went to a retirement
party in Ventura, and you know, we told everybody there
might be sprinkles, it might be a you know, a
light rain. And as I was coming back from Ventura
to Westlake, it was a downpour where I had to
slow down on the freeway and people were slowing down
(13:41):
to about twenty miles an hour. So I quickly whipped
out the camera, pulled over and got some video of that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And you can't take that out of a guy's blood.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
No, you can't. And you know it's funny. It's like
even to this day, when there's a rainy night, you
know that was just free money. That was money falls
from the guy. When you're a stringer, you know, you
go out, you get a couple of shots of rain,
you get a puddle, and you get a card, get
the plane, car crash, and everybody's gonna buy it. Everybody's
gonna buy it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
What was the amount of money you made from video
from a from being a stringer?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
What what video was it? And how much was it?
Do you remember?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
You know what? I don't I don't have the numbers.
I was actually working for somebody, but you know I was.
I was Ennis Cosbia. I was the uh was the
first guy. Yeah, it was the first guy that stumbled
on it. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know.
But but when we found out, yeah, they you know
they My boss at the time was was, let's just
(14:40):
say honest enough to tell me that. I basically, you know,
we made bank. We made that. We had we had
a suburban at the time. We had a new suburban
that had gotten not me. I didn't do it. One
of the other guys had rolled it, wrecked it, totaled it.
It was like a year old. And he told me,
He's like, yeah, we replaced the suburban, all the equipment,
(15:01):
your salary, that idiot's salary, and you know for the
next five years. Wow. That was just annas. So yeah,
you can make you can You can make money being
a stringer. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Buddy. I remember, I clearly remember that footage.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I remember the the hazard lights were on on the car.
It was a dark part of Maulholland And and I
don't remember if it was raining or not, but it
seemed like a cloudy or a foggy night.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It was a real eerie night.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
It was an eerie night. I don't think it was raining,
but we were the ones that had the mysterious woman
in a spur coat? Is it that was? That was
Ennison's girlfriend? Oh wow, I don't even know. I mean
they kind of they kind of just kind of, you know,
they asked the stations not to play it because they
were worried at the time. But but yeah, it was
somebody from a little house on the prairie. That's all
(15:51):
I vaguely remember. But yeah, everybody was like, hey, who's
that woman? Who's that woman? And I'm like, I don't know.
I just was, you know, I showed up at the scene.
We thought, if you want to stay with the Ennisty,
we thought that that was somebody changing a tire because
it came out as a call of a person down
next to a car, right and they were changing a tire,
and you know, people get killed that way, especially up
(16:13):
the four or five, and when you hear that call,
that's what I was expecting to roll up on. I
had no idea it was a shooting. I had no
idea it was Kennis Cosby. But you know, you show up,
you shoot. It was a slogan that they used to
stay there's any old stringers listening, they're going to start laughing,
shoot and submit yeah, shoot and submit, don't think about it,
just shoot it and turn it in. And that's what
(16:33):
we used to do.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Sevenella's with us.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
A fly is reporter for Channel eleven in the morning
and the helicopter Stu. I know you've seen this. I've
seen it as well. You know, we've had the radical
fires at the beginning of this year. But it seems
like a lot of landmarks, a lot of his old
historical buildings and landmarks have been burning down in Los Angeles.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Yeah. Yeah, you know the specific dining car, the one
that we just saw, and that was that. I'm sure
it's done. I mean, you know, you can save anything,
but you know, I don't think anybody's going to make
that investment. That's sad. And you know everything, you know,
life is changed. And I know you're a valley guy.
You know you're a valley guy, right and uh and
(17:18):
and I was thinking about this because Belly Oh, let
me in. She said, you know, this is what we're
going to talk about. You know what I missed Sherman
Way and Kester. There was a place there, a burger
place called buds Burgers and it was a free standing
brick building and it was next to a Wincheals and
oh my god, those burgers were amazing. And it was like,
(17:38):
you know, this was high school time for me going
over to Van Nuys High School and and uh and
and we used to go there all the time, gone.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
What what you graduate from high school?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Well, if I would have graduated.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Okay, all right, I'm not judging, I'm not judging, they
would have been eight and six, they would have been.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I'm five years is in front of you.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So we used to go to Tommy's on Sherman Way right
near Balboa.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Yes, yep, that one, Yeah, yeah, that him away and Balboa.
There was a Tommy everywhere.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, it was a t O M M I E S.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Because now
it's now it's in right.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, right exactly yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
But I remember, look, I I thought the valley, you know,
growing up, and again I was a couple of years
older than you, but I thought the Valley was a
really cool hang growing up Builders Emporium, you know, Poppin
Taco La Fiesta.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It was just a really cool hang growing up.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Towers Tower Records out there, the Sherman Oaks Gallery of
Oh my god, I remember watching Fat Times at Ridgemont
High and I was just like, this is the bible
for my high school, you know you.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And I go back to where you know, Sherman Oaks
Square Fashion where it used to be an outdoor mall.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Yes it was, and then they put then they close
it up, and I think they can probably make it
open again. But yeah, then that was the nice mall,
remember that, that was the nice one. That was the place. Yeah,
that was the that was where all the rich people
blowing out. And then there was the two of the
to Tanga and then Paul book those two down the
West End.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, I mean I go back to the Wiener Factory
on Kester and Ventura, which was a cool hang. You
could buy beer there at sixteen. The guy, the owner
didn't care. He didn't ever idea anybody. And then there
was Malibu Grand Prix. We spent a lot of nights
there as well.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yeah, yeah, Malibu Grant Trix and the Castle Game of
Golf is still there, but it's not the same we got.
I got a love for it to the still standing.
What about it? Wasn't there another Burger place besides Carnies.
There wasn't there like some other trains something or another
around Ventura.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I know you're taught.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I can't remember what it was, but uh, but you
got to come in one night, you know when we
have when you get some times. I know you're up
at Sparrow fart in the morning, but come in some time.
I love talking about the valley with you, and you
know we sort of have the same upbringing, the same location.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So please come in one.
Speaker 6 (20:11):

You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on De Mayo from
KFI AM six forty Tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'll be in San Juan Coppistrano watching the Swallows come back.
Big parade there tomorrow starting at eleven am. So we'll
see you down there in Orange County. South Orange County.
The teams that have survived March Madness, Auburn beat Alabama State,
so they're going to go on to play. Is it Creton,
(20:56):
I think it's Cretan Creighton and then Michigan Texas A
and that'll be another game that's in the South, I believe.
And then Old Miss will play Iowa State. Colorado State
beat Memphis. Colorado State was a number twelve seed and
they beat Memphis, which is a number five seed, and
they be in by eight points. They're gonna go on
(21:17):
to play Maryland. Maryland beat Grand Canyon University by thirty
some points. I think it's thirty two points. So Colorado
State will play Maryland. Drake will play Texas Tech. Arkansas
will play Saint John's. All right, that's the West and
the South. Let's look at the east here, Duke and
(21:38):
Baylor will play. I was watching Baylor earlier. They squeaked
by Mississippi State. Then you have BYU and Wisconsin. They
will be playing each other, Saint Mary's and Alabama. And
then we get to the Midwest here, Houston Gonzaga will
(22:00):
be a game coming out of Midwest McNee see, I've
never heard of that college in my life playing Purdue.
And then UCLA will be playing Tennessee. Ucla one they
beat Utah State by don't thirty points or so twenty
some odd points, seventy two to forty seven, and then
Tennessee beat the Wolfford. So Tennessee and UCLA will be
(22:27):
will continue in the tournament.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
All right, here's a collection.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Of the worst news screw ups in the US history.
In news history, these are my top five. Here's one
I remember. I don't know if you remember this, but
there was a Paully Pavilion God got flooded. They have
(22:55):
been eight years ago where water main broke and flooded
the entire gymnasium. And I think they had eventually replaced
the floor at poly pavilion there. And so a guy
called up and pretended to be a fake DWP worker,
and the and the people at at the local news
(23:18):
I think this was ABC didn't catch on until much
later that this guy was a fake phony caller. So
this is a DWP guy calling into ABC News while
Ucla is getting flooded.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
We do have a.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
DWP spokespersonnel on the phone. Lewis slung Pew. I hope
I pronounced the last name correctly.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, So the reporter they they the guy on the phone,
he said his last name is slung Pooh, And that
wasn't a big enough tip to the news anchors that
this guy was a phony guy.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
His last name slung poo.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Elliot.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Oh, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
What can you tell us about this or is it
something you've ever seen before? Left?
Speaker 7 (24:07):
It is that we have a water and the apparent
cause of the water main that broke was, uh, you
know it's coming in times from our from our from
our turn the ground. Basically that a couple of college
students might have sent down a cherry bombs down the toilet.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Wow, can you say that again?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
You think somebody sent a cherry bomb down to the toilet. Yeah, that,
but we we kind of put on seminars and know
yearly explaining how dangerous it is to send uh. And
he kind of explodes this down down a plummy drain.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
So he's talking about it.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
They set a cherry bomb down a toilet, and they
and their anchors like, what, of course, right now it's done.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
In the investigation, pase, it's your teams that ache that
the break might have come somewhere along the part pavilion
area in one of the locker rooms. It was either
any cherry bomb or someone took a really large dump,
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Okay, So he says there's a cherry bomb or somebody
talk a large dumb and they still are like, wait,
a large dump.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Excuse me, mister, can you say that again?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, sling poo, how big was the dump?
Speaker 7 (25:09):
All right?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Here's here's uh, I'll replace this again.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
Here the billion area one of the locker rooms. There
was either a cherry bomb or someone took a really
large dump.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
You know that is an incredible So are you sure
about that?
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Is that's a big call.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
The other guy figured it out. I think it's a
fake call.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
His name is sling Pooh and he says it took
a big dump. I think we should move on. I
don't know who the anchor was, uh, the female like
that was great?
Speaker 4 (25:41):

More than one guy doing a commercial, no question about
that's in.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You're a wallet black guy. Okay, he's the car black guy.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
Morgan Freeman is the other credit card. You only hear

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Him with that. You're exactly you're out here one hundred
percent right, Uh to RoboCop, you headweight black guy.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
That's like putting cast down in the seat center in
the baseball stadium. But he's also the black guy that
turns off the house, the water and the lights when
his kid tells him the house was cool.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I'm not that guy either. Do we want to do
a list of all the people that you're not?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
