Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demayo from KFI
AM sixty.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
KIM six forty Conway Show. There are some areas that
are still getting rain even at five o seven in
the afternoon. Catalina is still getting a lot of rain.
They got a ton of it out there as well. Well,
we'll stay on top of that. If if we have
any real radical news about mud slides or craziness, we

(00:31):
will bring that to you immediately. All right. Katie Porter
was in the news. Remember she had her melt down
with the reporter where she said she doesn't want to
keep doing this. I think the exact quote was.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Well, here it is, I don't want to keep doing this.
I'm gonna call it thank you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I don't want to keep doing this. I'm gonna call
it yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
I don't want to keep doing this. I'm gonna call
it thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
All right? Then the other video. Then another video popped
up with her yelling at his staff or you're in
my effing shot, you're in my video. Get the f
And I guess she talks like that to her staff
with some regularity. And these staffers. You know, when you
have a staff and you're a politician, you probably have

(01:12):
I don't know, maybe thirty or forty people working for
you or around you, especially when you're running for governor.
That's a big, huge, monumental task. In California, it's not
like any other state. You've got to you know, You've
got so much diversity in this state, not race wise
or religion, but politically. Man, you have everything from the

(01:34):
most liberal people in the world in parts of San
Francisco and Los Angeles and Santa Barbara to some of
the most conservative people in the world along the Nevada border.
And there's almost no other state like that. You know,
that's not true. Organs like that. Oregon is like that.
The East coast of Oregon is very liberal around Portland

(01:58):
and around the coast and the east when you get
into the desert part of Oregon, that is all Trump
gun country religion, and they do not get along those
two factions. They're constantly fighting East Eastern Oregon and Western Oregon.

(02:19):
It is a huge battle up there all the time.
So Katie Porter has been asked, can people trust that
there aren't more videos coming out of you yelling at
your staff? And I heard a stat that sixty five
percent I don't know if it's true or not. I
read this online, so it must be. But sixty five
percent of her staff as either quit or I, you know,

(02:41):
I left the building somehow, either fired or quit. But
there's a there's a real heavy handedness to carry to
Katie Porter and the way she handles her staff, and
I don't think that that works anymore. I think that's
sort of a nineteen seventy ease management style where you

(03:03):
yell at people all the time and they're scared to
death of you. I don't think that that works anymore.
And the reason why there's too much video. Before, when
there's no video, you could do that. You could yell
at people all day long and you know, be your
word against theirs. Now there's video of everything, and you
start yelling at people and somebody's gonna catch it on
video and someone's gonna release it. And that's what happened

(03:25):
so far. Too videos the one where she's talking to
reporter and then the other one where she's yelling at
a staff, and I think there's a lot more coming out.
Here's Katie Porter addressing both those situations and her temperament.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
So this is your first time speaking publicly since the
now two viral videos. What do you want people to
know about you? And do you have the temperament to
be the next governor of California?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, do you have the temperant to be the next
governor of California? And I think she's an answer like this.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
I don't want to keep doing it because I'm gonna
call it. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Just get pissed at everybody.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
When I look at those videos. I want people to
know that I understand that I could have handled things better.
I think I'm known as someone who's able to handle
tough questions, who's willing to answer questions.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, that's not what we saw on the drag on
you is not can you answer the tough questions? It's
how big of an a hole are you? To people
who work near you?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
And I want people to know that I really value
the incredible work that my stuff can do. I think
people who know me know I can be tough, but
I need to do a better job expressing appreciation for
the amazing work that my team does.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, there's got to be a reason she's so pissed.
I don't know what it is. I have no idea.
I don't know Katie Perrott about Katie Porter that well,
but I do know that she blew up. I guess
I think her husband or ex husband was arrested by
Irvine cops and she said she hated Irvine cops and
the Irvine chief. I think it was Irvine and blew

(04:55):
up at them. And so I think she's really angry.
And I don't know what where the anger comes from.
But she's hot, she runs really hot.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Should California voters feel confident that there aren't any more
Katie Porter videos out there?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
All right? And here the answer should be, I don't
want to keep doing this.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm going to call it thank you, all right?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Are there any more Katie Porter videos coming out?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well? What I know is that I could have done
better in those moments, Right.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's not the question. Are there any more Katie Porter
of you yelling at staff coming out?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, what I know is that I could have done
better in those moments. I'm going to be focused on
earning their votes and earning their trust. That's true in
every election. I've only ever had tough elections, So I'm
absolutely aware that I'm going to have to continue to
show them I'm going to have to answer every question.
I'm glad I got to continue that interview and finish
that interview and answer all her questions. And that's what
I'm going to continue to do to show Californians not

(05:47):
only that I understand their problems, but that I have
the will and the strength of character to actually get
something done about them.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Wouldn't it be a huge relief to everybody and a
huge sort of you know, when everybody zigs. She should
have zagged there and said, look, here's why I'm pissed,
and then drag up whatever childhood problem she had and
blame it on mom or dad, or blame it on somebody.
But you got to tell us why you're pissed, and

(06:15):
then we forgive you for it, But we want to
know why you're so angry? What's going on with you?

Speaker 4 (06:20):
But not just the CBS interview, the interview with the staffer.
Can voters be confident that there won't be another one
of those videos that's going to come to light.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I don't want to keep doing it because I'm.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Going to call it thank you the angry. I sort
of like the anger minds my mom My mom used
to run hot and so I grew up with that.
You know, the first sixteen years of my life, we
were walking on eggshells every day to see when the
big Mac the redbird was going to blow.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
What I do know is that I could have done
better on that situation. That's on a no.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
So is there potentially another video that we're going to see?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yes, there are going to be more videos of Katie
Porter yelling at people.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Nikki. I'm going to be honest with you. I know
that that video, and that video was several years ago,
as you know, and I apologize to the staffer that's
super important to me, and will continue to try to
hold myself to do better. That's that's what I can promise.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
But not that there's not going to be any more videos,
because that's that's what people are wondering. Are we going
to see something else like that?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yes, yes, you're going to.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I can tell you what I've told you, which is
that I am taking responsibility for this situation.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, that's not a no, it's yes.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
And I'm also not going to back down from from
fighting back for California, from being tough. I don't I
don't think this is a moment where the same old
same old is going to cut it. But that doesn't
change the fact that what I did to that stuffer
was wrong. I've acknowledged it to her in that moment,
and I'm acknowledging it now.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Have you heard from any other Democrats so they reached
out to you? Yes, of course, who has reached out
to you?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Oh, I couldn't tell you at the top of my
at the top of my top of my head, because
I've gotten lots of text messages in the last as
you might expect.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
What did they say with words of support? Can you
give me anything specific?

Speaker 3 (08:04):
You know, I mean as you've seen.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, they said, why are you such an a whole?
Most of them?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, Well, I mean as you've seen publicly, many of
the groups that support me, groups like the Teamsters, have
said that they're proud to stand with me because they
know I'm going to fight for California, that they know
I'm going to be tough, that they think what's needed
is a level of strength of character in this moment.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
So, you know, Katie Port is a perfect example of this,
where you know there are people like that that yell
and you know, threaten people and all that crap, and
and again that's a nineteen seventies management style that really
doesn't work anymore. But the problem is, and we have
it here at you know, every every business has this problem.

(08:44):
When when I first started working in corporate America, the
top management had all the power, all of it.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
It.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Now it's the kids. It's the young people that are
in their late teens early twenties that come into corporate
America and they have all the power because all they
have to do is go to HR and start yapping
and there is going to be a huge investigation over
what they what their accusations are against another employee, and

(09:19):
it rattles a lot of people. The power switch in
corporate America has changed from the upper echelon to the
new kids coming in because they know it.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
They know it.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
All they have to do is say, hey, I'm going
to HR and bang you are in a great deal
of trouble. And I don't know how when it changed,
but it did, and it's every every company that I know.
Now the power is with the young people who threaten
to go to HR and and and rat you out.

(09:51):
And then it doesn't matter how what kind of seniority
you have there. Maybe maybe it was all the whole
me too thing that that that sort of was, you know,
created around that's possible, all right. But there's a dog
rescue rescued today from a wash in the ox Nard
area and it looks like that doalgy Is has made

(10:12):
it and he survived. So that's a good story. You know,
we always see a dog falling into the wash, you know,
we've never seen that before, but now every time it
rains there, some dog finds it into the La River
and then we spend you know, three hours trying to
get his ass out, and we did look at that guy.
Dog got out and they pulled that dog out. Then
they made him post for pictures in the rain, dog

(10:35):
soaking wet. They made him of host boats for photos.
All right. Rain is a big story. Dodger is a
big story covering Oliver right here on KFI. I'm sick forty.
He's doing a whole show. KFI am sick forty. It's
Conway Show. There is a forecast. We're all concerned about
this weather. Is it going to continue? Are we going
to get flooded out? Are there gonna be mud slides?

(10:56):
Nobody better than Dallas rains out with ABC's Dallas Rains
has to say the I would say, the top guy
in town when it comes to weather, top guy, and
he's been that way for a while. Top dude. Now
leg well, I was.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Very happy the storm came in as scheduled. But we
did very very well considering the amount of rainfall that
occurred out there in the San Gabriel Mountain areas. We
saw up to four and five inches of rain and
down around the Altadena area between two and three, So
we did very well, but I think a lot of
that everybody was kind of prepared for this early season storm.
Now late afternoon, sunshine is coming through because the weather

(11:36):
is changing dramatically.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
What's left of that.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Squall line shows up beautifully on the Live Meganoppolos seven
thousand HD. It has passed San Diego, now moving into
the desert and dissipating. But for us only scattered light
showers remained this afternoon.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
But that is all.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
I'm forecasting, no more heavy rain, a little light snow
in the mountain area. So drive very carefully tonight. If
you're going up into Big Beer are coming down out
of Big Beer, the snow level will drop you around
five or fifty five hundred feet.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
But it will not be heavy.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
We do not anticipate change.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
At this time.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Orange County had some gusty winds. We also had several
rotating cells down along the coast.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
All right, let's see what's going to be this weekend.
It's gonna be spectacular. Whenever there's a rain. The hills
you know, turned green and it's a really cool five.
And then this Saturday, maybe got plans for Saturday. Maybe
go to the track. I don't know what's going on
with you. The high in the San Fernando Valley is
eighty one degrees, So currently in the San Fernando Valley

(12:36):
it's fifty seven degrees. It's gonna be eighty one on Saturday.
That's a cool deal. Huntington Beach this weekend, seventy six
degrees on Saturday, beautiful sunny day, no clouds, fifty eighth
to low. Seventy six is the high and there's no
rain in the future. Let's go to a Big Bear,

(12:56):
all right. Big Bear is going to be thirty two
degrees tonight. It's going down to thirty two degrees. Seventy
percent chance of snow in Big Bear. This is October.
October seventy percent chance of snow today in Big Bear.
And let me tell you when it's gonna come, and
or maybe it's already here. Uh Okay, it's already snowed

(13:18):
between noon and four pm, and it's gonna continue from
six pm. All right, So it's gonna it's snowing there
right now, and it'll continual seven pm and then it's
gonna taper off and you're gonna get a little snow
between ten and eleven pm tonight. That's the latest. And
so it's gonna it's freezing up there, freezing, actually freezing

(13:40):
in Let's go to Lancaster. We've got a lot of
people listening to Lancaster and the Annelo Valley. It is
fifty four is gonna be the high temperature today. Fifty
four is the high. Remember two weeks ago or a
week and a half ago, who was like one hundred
and two degrees out there? The fifth to fifty four
is gonna be the high this weekend in the Annelo Valley.
Beautiful sunny skies seventy five seventy six degrees in the

(14:03):
Anelov Valley Inland Empire. A lot of listeners in the
Inland Empire. It's going to be eighty two on Saturday,
eighty three on Sunday in the Inland Empire. So that's
gonna be absolutely spectacular weather. Maybe going up to Mammoth,
you know you enjoy skiing. Mammoth has a seventy five
percent chance of rain slash snow, and then it's going

(14:27):
to be forty percent chance of snow tomorrow in Mammoth
and a low of twenty degrees. Twenty degrees in Mammoth.
That's spectacular for October. It's unheard of. All right, one
last check Malibu. Let's see what's going out in Malibu
this Saturday seventy seven degrees, Sunday seventy six degrees. So

(14:51):
we just got to get through today. It's going to
be cold. The extra blankets come out, maybe the electric blanket,
maybe the flannel sheets come out, and then it's going
to be unbelieved this weekend. Clear skies, green mountains and
hillsides because of this rain and eighty eighty one, eighty
two degrees in the San Fernando Valley and the surrounding areas.

(15:12):
Great great weather this weekend. Got to get outside and
enjoy it. This is gonna be one of the great
weekends of the year. Bright relyve on KFI AM six
forty more.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
KFI AM six forty. It's Conways show a right. Rain's
the big story around here. We'll keep an eye on that.
According to Dallas Rains, the rain is left the building,
scattered rain, but no heavy downfalls like we experienced all
morning long. The snow is coming down to five thousand,

(15:51):
fifty five hundred feet five thousand somewhere around there. So
if you live in Big Bear or Arrowhead, you're gonna
get snow. And that's a cool deal. Mid October. We're
not even halfway through October and you got snow. This
might be a great season ski season this year. Oh,
wouldn't that be classic. I pack them up with snow,
have all these snow birds come up there and enjoy

(16:13):
the cabins and the restaurants and the slopes. Get all
those snowboarders and skiers up there, and sledters and I
don't know, skaters whatever they do in the winter, but
hopefully it's a great, great ass winter. A lot of people,
my wife does this when I go into where she's

(16:33):
watching TV, either in the living room or sometimes in
her bedroom. She constantly has the subtitles on, and I
thought that was odd, But I guess a lot of
people are doing that now, watching TV with the subtitles on.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
I've been doing that a lot more recently. You have
no idea how many lines I misheard in films and TV. Well,
and when I see the actual line, I'm like, oh,
that changes a little bit, that adds a little more context.
But when you have kids, especially when you have babies,
the close captioning is brilliant because you can watch all

(17:09):
the movies, turn the volume way down and let the
baby sleep.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
But sometimes the subtitles are wrong. Yeah. Yo, I've seen
a couple of good ones.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I saw one the other day where there was a
woman doing a hockey game. She was doing a Kings game.
She was doing color and there was a guy doing
play by play, and she said, you don't see the
shady hockey during the season like you did during the summer.
And they didn't right shady, They put.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Like the.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Whole s word, different, different vowel. Yes, And I think
it's more interesting with the vowel that they used. But
I constantly see it though people. It distracts me because
then I don't watch the show. I'm just reading it.

Speaker 8 (17:56):
There was a basketball player named Nick Stauskis, and his
nickname came from when people saw him playing that they
saw his name. His nickname is sas Castillo. That's great,
they just butchered his name. Yeah, so is now known
as sas Castillo.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
All right, let's find out why you people out there
are listening or watching these subtitles.

Speaker 9 (18:18):
The new pole finds forty percent of adults age eighteen
to forty four you subtitles always or often. That number
drops to twenty eight percent for those forty five and older.
Those stats came to life.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
All of them were like, why don't you have the
captions on.

Speaker 9 (18:34):
His fifty seven year old Kelly Gibson watched a movie
with her daughters, including thirty year old Hollie.

Speaker 7 (18:40):
And it's at a point I would say where it's
it's jarring if the subtitles aren't on.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Mom is now on board? Would that's not like Krozier Mom, Dad,
Crozier Mom, man oh man? That is one hundred percent
crow Mom is now on board I.

Speaker 10 (18:58):
Was fascinated and loved the idea that younger generations saw
this as something that was for everybody.

Speaker 9 (19:06):
Though not everyone's on the same page.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
God, does that sound like Crozier man? Oh man, that's
exactly crowds, everyone's on the same page. When you guys
watch movies in English, do you guys tell me you
have the subtitles on it all time?

Speaker 3 (19:19):
No?

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Never?

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Absolutely not no, never in English? Why do you use
the subtitles? You speak English.

Speaker 9 (19:25):
Sometimes you just make sure you catch everything else. And
that's the main reason viewers are flipping on the subtitles
to catch every word. Something we discussed on today.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
You guys subtitles.

Speaker 11 (19:36):
Yes, no, I'm huge on the subtitles, but I find
it hard to make out the dialogue a lot of times. Yeah,
well a session, the dialogue is so fast. I don't
want to miss it, so I've got the subtitles on it.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Serious people.

Speaker 9 (19:56):
Of course, we're also using subtitles for foreign films and
shows Uber records.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Wait for what titles for foreign films? I thought they
said for porn.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
That's what.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
We need subtitles for him, don't we imagine? Hey, honey,
roll it back. I missed it when they're doing that
girl on girl thing. Roll that back, will you baby?

Speaker 9 (20:16):
Titles for foreign films and shows uber record keep and
to understand accents apologies.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
I have a flea bottom accent.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
I know, you know.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
The one time I do use subtitles is the British
version of the Office because that I can't I mean,
those guys are talking a different language. I can't understand
any of it. So that's the only time I use subtitles.

Speaker 7 (20:41):
Game of Thrones started it because I watched it the
first time without and I rewatched it with Game Changer.

Speaker 9 (20:48):
But the pole shows. Younger viewers may have different reasons
for turning on the captures, like watching in a noisy
environment or multitasking rapidly bouncing between multiple screens.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I've been well working, okay, well, then stop doing that.
You know you're not you're not you're you're not you're
watching TV. You should be sitting down enjoying it, not
on the screens. You're not observing the TV. You know
you're you're you're enjoying it. You should be sitting down
this distracted, free with no distractions, just watching your shower.
That is another issue with today and watching things no, I.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Know, I know.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It drives me. Crones man, it drives me. It absolutely
drives me crazy. I've been I've been doing subtitles for years.
I occasionally I'm watching a sporting event and or I
don't know, like sn L or something, and my wife
and daughter will have a conversation while I'm watching the game,

(21:44):
and I start turning up the volume. I start turning
it up, turning it up. It I wait till the conversation.
I'll wait, Yeah, Oz, I have it. Sometimes I hit
one hundred, you know, and they're still like they don't
get it.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
You can read the subtype faster than they're usually delivered
by the actors, and so that usually means that you
can pick up what's needed and then hear it as
you were continuing on your work.

Speaker 9 (22:09):
Subtitles are far from new. They date back to the
early nineteen hundreds when they were called inner titles, those
title cards you saw between scenes and silent movies. After
the transition to talkies, subtitles were born, growing more complex
over the decades. These days, captions are quite common in
social media videos, and that, more than anything, just might

(22:31):
explain the youngest generations are perfectly happy reading what they're watching.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, they love reading what they're watching, that crazy young generation.
All right, keeping on the rain, the Dodgers and subtitles.
We're live on CAF I am six fur did Conway show.
You may be wondering where Mark Thompson is. Well, he's
coming in and he's going to start at seven o'clock.
He's going seven. Yeah, seven to ten tonight. I was

(22:57):
unaware of that, but I guess somebody told me, and
I just forgot. What the hell can you do? You know,
you forget things in life as you get older. Dodgers
are winning two to one in the top of the
third inning in Milwaukee. If they win that one, they're
up to nothing in the best of seven game series
and they'll be coming back to Los Angeles for Game three.

(23:18):
All right, JPL, NASA more layoffs, and man, these are
hard jobs to fined. You know, you're working for NASA
Jet Propulsion Laboratory and you get let go. Where do
you find another rocket to work on or another I
don't know, lunar module, or I don't know what you do.

(23:39):
I don't know how many rocket companies are out there,
but man, it's a sad day over JPL sad Times the.

Speaker 10 (23:46):
Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena is set to layoff about
five hundred and fifty employees today. Those layoffs will spand technical,
business and support areas. This is the third round of
layoffs in the past two years. JPL's director says the
layoffs are part of a reorganization that started in July
and are not part of the current government shutdown.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
All right, So hopefully those cats land on their feet.
That's a big deal. When you work for NASA and
JPL your whole life, then you get let go. It's
it's difficult find another job in that area, very difficult,
all right. United Airlines is in the news for their
Wi Fi, their starlink and everybody on board can be

(24:27):
can download a movie, a different movie on their computer
and there's there's no you know, there's no you know,
drag time or lag time on any of the video.
I don't know how the hell they do this, but
they literally you could have one hundred and seventy five
people on board on a United airliner that has this

(24:49):
new Starlink service and everybody on board can be watching
or texting or you know, a different movie or texting
a body or whatever sending videos and there's no lag time.
This is unbelievable technology.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
Takeoff on a United seven thirty seven and just in
time for the holiday season, a dramatic Wi Fi upgrade
connected to eight thousand Starling satellites orbiting the Earth and
providing lightning fast internet, live TV streaming, shopping, gaming, emails,
and document downloads. So it is super fast. Really is

(25:25):
just as fast as if you're at home on the
Wi Fi. As every airline knows, customers are fed up
with paying for crashing Wi Fi.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I need good internet access to be productive.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
She's very busy, very busy woman.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
I need good internet access to be productive.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, she's flying to Vegas and can't take forty five
minutes to just you know, kick back. And that has
to do. Man, Yeah, can't got it. Can't just have
a coc and Peanut's gotta make deals. Gotta make deals.
I'm in the air and I don't usually have it,
so you just you can't rely on it.

Speaker 9 (25:58):
Can't rely on it.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Sometimes have a hard time connecting to it and staying connected.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
United Starlink Wi Fi is freet.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
What a first world problem this is? You know, people
starving around the world, and you're like, ah, between San
Diego and Los Angeles, I fly there every day and
I can't get the you know, for the twenty eight
minutes I'm up in the air, I can't download any movies.
Think to it, it's staying connected.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
United Starlink Wi Fi is free gate to gate, but
you gotta have a mileage plus account. From the time
you're on the ground throughout your journey to the time
you land and arrive at your gates. You have connectivity
the entire time.

Speaker 9 (26:36):
You don't have to wait till you're ten thousand feet
to get a signal.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Hawaiian airlines also offer Starlink Alaska plans to start next year.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Some international carriers are also on board.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Pretty cool, right, We're about thirty thousand feet or so,
and look at the streaming connection, absolutely solid. In order
to make sure it is solid for all one hundred
and sixty people on this plane, all streaming at once,
they've got two satellite antenna on the root. But what
happens when you've got a plane full of people.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
You know, it does make me a little nervous that
they're cutting into the top of these planes to put
the Wi Fi service on. I don't know. There's just
something odd about cutting holes into the fuel soldge and
just to set up a guy so you can watch Netflix.
It's it. It's strange.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
But what happens when you've got a plane full of people?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Yeah, what happens? Well, I think they've solved that problem too.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Well, we're ready for it.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
You will see no degradation of service at all.

Speaker 11 (27:34):
Wow, Tom, I mean that's an incredible signal you've got there.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
So what happens when.

Speaker 11 (27:39):
People start making calls and facetiming on the plane?

Speaker 7 (27:42):
No quiet car in the airplane.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Everybody's worried about this, right, You're you're sitting next to
somebody who decides that they're going to talk to somebody
else on the phone in a very long conversation.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
By the way, when I think this is the Today
Show that this is on, the guy who's talking to
them is on an airplane. I think it was going
from Boston to a Detroit or Chicago, and he was
on the plane doing the report and it looked like
he was in a studio next door. He was over
Wisconsin at the time, Is that right? Yeah, it's unbelievable

(28:16):
the technology that they have.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Now everybody's worried about this. Right, you're sitting next to
somebody who decides that they're going to talk to somebody
else on the phone in a very long conversation that
is against gederal regulation. You can listen to a phone
call or a team's call or zoom call, you cannot participate,
and it's going to be on the honor system. Really,

(28:38):
so even if you're streaming a movie or whatever you can,
you have to have hopefully your ears in. You should
not be participating. It's going to be up to fly
to Tennis to police that. So everybody's a little worried
about how well that's going to go.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I'm not that worried about it. I'd like to get
the plane there in one piece. I'm not worried about
the guy next to me participating in a zoom call.
Who cares. Yeah, if they're sitting there talking, and yeah,
if it like he's loud as hell. But I mean
I think most people are, you know, they're aware of
their surroundings, and I don't think it's a big deal.
And if you're not, then you shouldn't be flying anyway,

(29:13):
you know, just stay the f at home, all right,
We're watching the Dodgers. They are still up. I believe
two to one. Let me check the score for you
here before I go to a break, and it looks
like Dodgers two Milwaukee one and to three and to three.
All right, excellent, all right, We're one third of the
way home. We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can

(29:36):
always hear us live on KFI AM six forty four
to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand
