Speaker 1 (00:56):
One of the funniest things he said that I remember
on TV he was doing weather. He's a jack of
all trades over there. He'll do any entertainment, weather, whatever
he's going to do. Right and that's how you get
ahead in life. They say, can you do weather? Yep, yep,
I got a jack of all. So he was doing
the weather and they had the weather map up there
and in Blythe is that Arizona, California. Blythe California. Arizona's
(01:21):
right near the border. So in Blythe was it was
one hundred degrees and it said Blythe one hundred degrees California. Oh, California, okay,
and then it said Blythe one hundred degrees. And then
right above Blythe it's at one hundred degrees right, so
it said it said one hundred degrees Blythe and one
hundred degrees and somebody said, what's going on in Blythe.
(01:43):
He goes, oh, it's one hundred and north Blythe and
it's one hundred in southlyth. Blythe is about eight people.
That's very funny. I remember that.

He'll be on at seven o'clock. When does his regular

I know, But did it start this Sunday? Or was
it been on for four years?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
If it happened, say week or two now?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, last Sunday? Okay, all right, okay. Hurricane Katrina twenty
years ago, Kroz. Did you remember where you were right
here reporting on it? Really, yes, sir, I tell you
where I was.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I'm a big fan of hazarding, part of my wages
on the outcome of events or certain machines. And I
was up at Chumash Casino with my lovely wife, she
was pregnant at the time, and we get to the hotel.
We throw all our stuff down. I had a couple
of beers, maybe a couple of shots. They'd be both,
I don't know. And she said, Okay, let's go. We're
(02:56):
going to get We're going downstairs to gamble. And I'm like,
I think I'm gonna watch TV here. I've never seen
a storm like this coming into our New Orleans and
I know New Orleans is below sea level. Let me
get give me ten minutes here, I'll meet you down there.
I never made it downstairs. I sat there in the
hotel room probably till about five am watching what I
(03:20):
could not believe what was going on, the floods. I mean,
just the amount of water that came into that city
was unbelievable. Krozier, when you went there, and you went
there last year, and you've been there, I think a
couple of times.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Last time I was there when was when Jen and
I got married there? Okay, is there still any remnants
of that? Really? Yeah? Absolutely? Wow, twenty years later.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
I had never been there prior to Katrina and I
It resonates with me because that when August twenty thirty,
two thousand and five, that was basically the beginning of
the most tumultuous year period of my life, because it
was like a few months late, like three or four
months later, my dad died from an overdose in Florida,
(04:04):
and I lost lost the job I was working at here,
and my wife filed for divorce and I had to
move out of my house. And it was like all
within a one year period, basically starting with October twenty third,
and then I found out a couple of years later
when I was driving the last of my dad stuff
from Florida here that New Orleans was his favorite city,
and I never knew that. Oh my god, so I ended.
(04:25):
So I stopped there on my way back here. And
that was two thousand and seven, in like April or May.
And it took that two hour stop for me to
absolutely fall in love at that place and call it
my second home. But you then and even now you
can you can find a lot of neighborhoods, especially in
the lower ninth ward, that no fixes had been done.
(04:49):
Steps that are just sitting there with no house in
front of them, nothing. It's there, definitely, it's there. Are
areas that have still not been touched. So when you
went there, it was still very fresh. It was two
years after it happened. Still saw piles of the house
debris all over the place on the streets.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Absolutely, man, twenty years ago. I cannot believe that's already
been twenty years. There's some information on this what's going
on here?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
A solemn day in the Big Easy, which.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
As Young was twenty eight years ago.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
New Orleans, marking the twentieth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, when
more than one three hundred people died. Today honoring victims
and survivors with a traditional second line, the music and
the people marching on. Twenty years to the day after
the Category three storm overtook the levees, eighty percent of
(05:44):
the city was flooded.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So, you know, Krozer, when you go to New Orleans,
how many times a day do you hear the Saints
come marching in?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Is that? Is that just the theme that? No, you
hear it?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I mean there are roving bands of brass all over
the place, and at some point they'll play it just
you know, especially in the touristy sections, but yes, almost
everywhere you go.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I don't think I can ever get tired of that. No,
I actually enjoyed that. You don't. People get up or
dance no matter what.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yah's unforgettable images of water up to rooftops, a day's
long rescue operation, residents seeking refuge at the Convention Center
and the super Dome.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It was horribly More.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Than one million people across the Gulf coasts were displaced.
Two decades later, tourism has rebounded. The city even hosted
the Super Bowl earlier this year, and some neighborhoods have
emerged stronger than before. But outside of the tourist areas,
scars from the flood lay bare. This is what the
(06:44):
hardest hit Lower ninth Ward looks like today. Army General
Russell Honore commanded the relief effort. Here all those years ago,
doorsteps still there, Yeah, but no house.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Ye.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Symbolic.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
It gives a marca that there's somebody in this property.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You go to come back.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
M That's what you see when you see that somebody's coming.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Back, coming back?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
When are they coming back? It's been twenty years, I
mean got almighty.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Criticism over the federal response led to a strengthening of
the Federal Emergency Management Agency, though recent budget cuts prompted
nearly two hundred FEMA employees to release an open letter
warning of the potential for another Katrina like disaster. This month,
a mural unveiled honoring the community where the levee and
the Lower Ninth broke.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
What do you see when you look around here?
Speaker 7 (07:33):
I see opportunity come in, get you a lot, bill hows,
love your neighbors and come back home.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
You know went Krozier.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
When you're there, O never in New Orleans, you get
a sense that that that that most of that city
is under sea level.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
There is a field to it.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I mean one, it's definitely very humid and it's kind
of it can get that swampy field to it. So
but yeah, you get a sen you do. You did
get a sense of it yet.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
But you also get a sense that that the gates
that they up to keep that water out are going
to work this time or next time.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I mean more than they did last time. But you
never know because it just it. It definitely feels like
and when you go there, you get that feeling like
it has not gotten the support that it should have
to rebound like it should.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And what lake was it? Lake Ponta Train? Is that
what overflow overflew.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
North of uh yeah, north of New Orleans? Yeah, okay,
right right into the ninth ward and into the Tremae
And if anybody ever wants to see a great snapshot
of what New Orleans is like, uh, the show Tremee
on HBO. There's four seasons of it, and it is
one of the most tremendous shows I've ever seen, and
I've watched it three times through and it is it
is about tons of people that uh them recovering right
(08:42):
after Katrina.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And what's the name of it again, tremay, Hey you
spell that t r E m E.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
That's the neighborhood just above the French Quarter that got
hit probably the hardest from Katrina. So it's all families
and people have all kind of walks of life that
lived there. And I'm recovering from Katrina. What streamer is that?
Speaker 2 (08:58):
An hbo? Hbo? I'm gonna look at that.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I mean, it's it's a perfect encapsulation of what makes
New Orleans great, which is three things. I always say, music, food,
and the people.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, that's what they say, the people.
Speaker 7 (09:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
A M six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
There are a lot of people who live in Encino,
not in the hills.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You know, those people are worried about crime.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
But the people live around the Supulvita Basin that's still
in Sino up until you get to.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Victory, I believe is where they cut that off.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
So from Maulholland to Victory is Encino, and then I
think it's from Lindley to the four or five or thereabouts.
So there's where you have that box. And the people
that are who live in Sino, who are worried about fires.
Are people who live near Suppulvan, the Supulvita Pass, the
Supulvita Basin, I should say, that's where you get a
(09:54):
lot of fied homeless cats uh living in the weeds
and the bushes in the Spulvata basin, the Spulvata Dam area,
and there are fires there almost every day. I think
they were over three hundred and sixty five fires there
last year alone. So the people live in that area
are worried about fires popping up while a Santa Ana
(10:17):
kicks up as well, and that could be absolutely devastating
for that area.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Even today we saw smoke rising from the brushy part
of the basin. Residents at this point it is a
daily occurrence and they worry it's only a matter of
time before a fire were to spread to one of
their Ennsino neighborhood. Fires fueled by trash and debris popping
up almost on a daily basis within a six hundred
acre swath of the Subpulvata Basin.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I wonder what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I wonder what the attraction is with homeless and fires.
Are these guys that are, you know, burning logs and
trying to cook or are these fire bugs who just
like to see the whole neighborhood go up in flames,
or are they guys who have a propane stove.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's not really I brand new.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
They didn't get it yesterday from Walmart or you know,
home depot or lows. It's had its share of burgers
on it already, and the hoses leak and then it's
just a disaster. I don't know, but there seems to
be a lot of fire when it comes to homeless guys,
and it's become a public safety concern due to heavy vegetation,
(11:31):
the encampments and illegal dumping in the area.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
And if it takes three and a half weeks per acre.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
And six hundred acres, we are going to take about
forty and one a half years to clear the basic.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
At that place.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
And seen a residents expressing their concern with the slow
pace at which the city seems to be moving to
clear the camp.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, forty years to clear the camp seems high in
my opinion, my untrutored opinion.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
So far, it's cleared one acre.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, one acre.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
So far, it's cleared one acre.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
But fire officials say they also have to take into
account health hazards, booby traps and the very thick vegetation,
not to mention the need for more man power.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
Wait a minute, booby traps.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
The homeless guys are into booby traps. They're sophisticated enough
to put together booby traps.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Plus, I think.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
That that title or that name needs to be reworked.
I don't know where booby trap came from, but it
seems archaic in my opinion.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Booby traps and the very thick vegetation, not to mention
the need for more man power.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They have done clean outs of the Bamboos area along Burbic.
They have cleared that out, but typically within six months
they'll be its back.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
You'll be able to see people are back. That's right.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
A year ago, Governor Newsom issued an executive order directing
cities to do encampment cleanups.
Speaker 8 (12:59):
Now is part of cracked down on crime. He says
he's creating.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
A task force to remove dangerous encampments and bring services
to those people living in them.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, how's that going.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
It's the billion attempt and trying to clean up homelessness
in California, and it's gonna fail like all the other ones.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Bonnie Malani and her husband Matthew.
Speaker 9 (13:18):
What a name, What a name, Bonnie Mlanie, Bonnie Mulani, Bonnie.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Malani and her husband Matthew have lived within.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Bonnie Malaney seems like a seventy five year old stripper
who's on the Coupe Deville tour. Ladies and gentlemen, put
your hands together for Bonnie Malanie digdong with her.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Bonnie Malani and her husband Matthew have lived within a
half a mile of the basin for forty years.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
That catchius and the winds come up, this whole area
is going to go.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
She says.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
The situation is a dire one, with people's homes and
potentially lives at risk.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Look, it's just need one spark during the Santa Anna's
and it's off to the races.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I think the city really needs to pay attention to
the fact that it needs to get these people out
of homeless encampments into facilities where they can be properly treated.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
They look.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I am so tired of saying this that my head spins.
Homeless people do not want to be inside. They are
the great, the last great outdoorsman of our of our society.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And you can get them a home.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
You can give them a house, a condo, a townhouse,
an apartment, a camper. They don't want to be subjected
to rules and regulations and that comes along with housing.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They don't want it. I know that for a fact.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I know a guy who has been homeless for a long,
long time and he's been offered help for forty or
fifty years and still doesn't want help.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
And people tell us they are hopeful. This is now
on the city's radar. The timeline, though, how long it's
going to take to clear six hundred acres of encampment
and brush isn't clear. We do have calls into the
mayor's office and are awaiting their response.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, she'll be uh, they'll be right on it, all right,
But it's there. It's another attempt to try to get
the homeless issues solved, and it I don't know, it's
just not going to happen.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I think we're all we all understand, we're all on
the same page. The homeless problem is never going to
go away. There's too many people making money on it,
there's too many people relying on it, and it just
feeds this big, huge beast and people are making paychecks.
You know, people are getting paychecks and surviving off it.
(15:39):
So it's not going to go away now. We just
have to all realize that that that's the fact. Homelessness
will always be part of our lives period. And as
soon as we can learn to live with that, maybe
we can get some sleep. I don't know, but they're
gonna be around forever and until somebody really cracks down
and cleans it out. And that's going to take, you know, legislation.
(16:03):
It's going to take the Supreme Court to get all
these people and make homelessness illegal. That's the only way,
and then pull them off the streets physically. That's the
only way it's going to shake down. And that is
decades away, maybe at best.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
We're here live on a Friday. Everyone's getting out for
Labor Day weekend. I will be buzzing out here at
seven o'clock trying to get to Delmar this weekend. I
was enjoyed sliding down there and pasiting part of my
wages on the outcome of some of those races, and
I Moe Kelly is in Italy and I can't afford
(16:46):
a weekend in Palm Springs.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I don't know how he has Italian money.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
He's he started in Italy, I believe, But then he
went on a seven day cruise.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
So he's been doing Greece, Turkey. He's done a whole thing.
That's great. I said to him one day, I said, hey.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
How sorry I got shut out.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Maybe that's why I not not in Italy.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, I beat it the wire, the six horse beat
the nine horse.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I had the nine.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's not a mystery why I'm not in Italy. I
guess working and betting del Mar at the same time. Sorry,
that's just how it's going down. That's outshaking down. I
had the nine horse. Nine horse was coming up in
the late late stretch there, and then got wired out,
got beat by the six horse.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And what was the name of that six horse? Here
to beat me? Let's see here, Diablo Rojo. I believe.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The red Devil got me right as we were talking
about New Orleans, Right.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
The red devil got you, Red devil, not the red bird.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it. We'll get
him again next time. I wonder fine, the.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Cruise is coming. Yeah, keep it positive.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Very rarely do you run into a really really good
guy who has a really really good company. And I
think and I know that American Vision Windows is one
of those companies. Great people that run it, Bill and Kathleen,
and you know, we get pot. We had tons of
positive feedback from people who get windows from American Vision Windows.
(18:25):
People send me emails all the time and they show
the truck, the American Vision Windows truck in the yard
and they into installation and every single person who has
emailed me, nobody has said anything negative. They always say
positive things, which is great. But another one is Roof Buddy.
I know Levi, who owns and runs the place, man
(18:46):
one of the best guys in the world, a really
solid guy with a great product and great people that
work for him. And that's very difficult to do nowadays,
you know, to put together a great team of twenty
thirty or forty people that work for you that are
very good at what they do.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I have my roof done a little over about a
year and a half ago now, and I love the
guys that did it, TG Roof and Mountain Upland. But
in five minutes of talking to those roof buddy guy,
I would have I would have signed a contract with
real fast.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah. He's a really solid guy.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
He's originally from just outside of Toronto, where a lot
of my family and he knows where like my family
grew up up in Mississauga. It was there was a
great bar up there called the Mississauga Tavern that that
we both knew of. I think I knew it, probably
more than he did. That's crazy, yeah, but but it
really is a It was a cool hang five.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Minutes with him and you feel comfortable and another guy
knows this stuff and it's going to treat you right.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, exactly, isn't that we're we're talking to in the hallway.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
He was here a couple of weeks ago and everybody
had that same opinion.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
It's a rare thing to meet somebody like that, Yeah,
especially business man.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So if you need a new roof for you know,
just need your roof repaired, roof body, that's this Levi
is a solid, solid guy and I love turning listeners
onto a great person.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And a great company. That's what we do.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
We try to do here at KFI so eight six
six ninety five. Buddy is his number or roofbuddy dot com,
and I think you'll be thrilled with the service you
get from Roofbuddy and roofbuddy dot com.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Roofbuddy dot com. All right, let's talk.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
About the the powerball. Everybody's gonna try to get a
piece of that.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Tomorrow night. Is it tomorrow night? I think it's Saturday, Yes, sir,
tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It's a billion dollars with a b BA maybe a
billion dollars power ball.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Hitting one billion dollars.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
People here they're feeling both lucky and excited ahead of
tomorrow night's drawing. The powerball jackpot has soared past the
billion dollar mark, and history shows California might be the
lucky state to buy in.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
You know, then this would be the good time, good
time to go into a seven to eleven with a
suitcase full of cash, you know, two hundred and ninety
two million, and say give me all of them, every number,
give me every combination. And then the guy behind him
is wanting like a Snickers and a coffee.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I just want to quit. Yeah, yeah, how long are
you going to be here?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
At least nineteen hours at least. I don't think you
have enough time to print out all those tickets. That's
probably true. I think you would have to go to
you know, one hundred different seven elevens and work the
register for twenty four hours or more. Buy the machine, Yeah,
buy the machine. Buy twenty of those machines and just
prank them out at home. But if you bought every
combination for two hundred ninety two million dollars your set?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Would you? At that point?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
You just get one ticket that says you won, because
it doesn't matter what the number is, you.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Win or what if you would you do this? What
kind of gambler are you? Would you?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
For two hundred ninety two million dollars you could buy
every combo, or for two hundred and eighty million you
could leave one number out. You could save some money.
So two hundred ninety two million, you buy every comedy.
But if you want to just leave thirteen as the
powerball out, then you could save yourself twelve million dollars
or seven million dollars? Would you want to save that
(22:04):
seven million? But if the thirteen pops up, you're done?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
How much do you get if you don't get the
power ball? If you don't, oh, it's like twenty five grand. Oh,
well then that do's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Then, right, But if you want to leave one number
out anywhere in the in the combination, you could save
yourself six or seven million dollars if you'll leave one
number out and then the odds of you hitting that
number are very slim. But if you add every combination
and nobody else won you get a billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
That's the other thing that's the problem with with that
logic is if two people or if four.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
People win, yeah you're done. You you don't even break even. Yeah, exactly,
But that's the gambling. And that's also why you don't
do the cash payout.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, they are exactly right, But if you had, you know,
this is going to be over a billion dollars. So
if you're you know, struggling and you want to, you know,
try to turn your life around, at least monetarily, tomorrow night,
you could be a billionaire.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You know.

I said, hey, give me forty dollars on pump number five.
And the guy behind me says, hey, give me four
dollars on pump number nine. That's not even a gallon,
but that's all he had. He's busted out, and so

Speaker 7 (28:41):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de mayl from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Big weekend coming up, Labor Day weekend. People are gonna
spend some time in Vegas, Morongo and the desert, and
it's the last weekend.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
When we were a kid, kids, school never started until
after Labor Day. Never Ever, when I went to school
in the San Fernana Valley in Sino Elementary, Portolo Junior
High than Birmingham High School, never started before Labor Day.
And now these kids start like, I don't know, like
August tenth, August eleventh, which sucks. That's that summertime. That's
(29:19):
not school time.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Yeah, and it's also hot in those those buildings to
the summer y. And we didn't ever conditioning when I
was growing up going to school. You know, Miss Palmer
would turn the fan on that just moves the hodder around. Yeah,
so it was just like preheating the oven. You know
what do they call that? When you preheat the oven
I with the fan. That's a convection, of convection of you.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
That's what it was.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah, this is Palmer's ninth sixth grade class was just
one big convection.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
So instead of sitting on it and now the hot
wind hits you in the face.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That's right. It was bad. It was bad.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
You know, you can't learn when it's one hundred and
four inside. But I did enjoy school. I didn't get
in trouble as much as I probably should have, you know,
just an antsy kid. I was very shy when I
was a kid up until about eighth grade, and I
wouldn't talk to anybody. I was very shy withdrawing. I
(30:17):
had my friends, group of friends, but I never ever
had the confidence to talk to it like a girl
in class ever ever, And that sort of continues today.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I don't know, but I do.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Remember we were I was, I was, you know, the
acorns that come off these big eucalyptus trees. My buddies
and I would just throw them at each other, you know,
because we're we're idiots. We were in third or fourth
grade and we just get a bag of these things
and throw them at each other. And it was, you know,
very I'm just sort of stupid fun to have. You know,
(30:53):
you'd hit a guy for once in a while, But
I remember throwing it. I threw it a an acorn.
I think it hit a guy named Kenny Stickley in
the eye, or maybe it was Steve Simmons that was
one of these two guys. It hit him right in
the eye and he had to go to the nurse
because I threw an acorn and hit him in the
eye and it scratched his eye and his mom had
(31:14):
to come pick him up.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
It was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So my punishment was missus Bernstein gave me a big, huge,
like grocery bag, like a Ralph sor Von's grocery bag.
And my punishment was I had to go out to
the playground. Well, everybody was inside eating lunch, and I
had to fill up an entire bag of acorns before
I got back in class. So I'm out there filling
(31:38):
up these acorns, you know, filling up this bag with acorns,
and I see my mom coming to school to drop
something off from my brother, I think his lunch or something,
and she sees me in the yard.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Oh, she sees you. Yeah, she spots me in the
yard and she just why what are you doing? What
are you doing? What is this? Yeah? What's going on?
Why are you the only one in the yard?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
And she always instantly accused me of, you know, murder,
And so as I'm I'm walking towards her, it's about
a fifty yard walk, I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
How the f do I get out of this. How
do I get out of this?
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Because if my mom knew I threw an acorn at
a kid, even though he was a buddy, and that
person's that kid's mom had to come and pick him
up from school, my mom would have kicked me so
hard in the ass and then in the head when
I was down that I would have been paralyzed. So
as I'm walking towards her, I have a half bag
full of acorns, and I'm walking towards her, and I'm thinking,
(32:39):
you gotta go into overdrive here, buddy, you're in third grade,
fourth grade, but you got to kick it in. You
got to come up with something before you get to
the redbird with the Redbirds my mom's nickname because she had,
you know, super super red hair. And so I get
to my mom and she's on the other side of
the gate, gates closed.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Just what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (33:00):
And I said, well, I said, we're doing an art
project in school. And missus Burnstein asked, if i'd go
out in the yard and pick up acorns, We're going
to glue them to paper and make, you know, make
artwork for Thanksgiving gifts for our parents.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
And she looks at me and she goes, that's my boy,
that's my boy.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I'm glad you're doing that, all right, continue on, I'll
see after school.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
And I walked away. And that's when I discovered.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Extreme lying to your parents works.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Lying to your parents happens to work.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
And I remember filling up that acorn bag and dancing
back to missus Bernstein's class the whole bag, and she goes,
if you learned your lesson?
Speaker 2 (33:54):
I said, yeah, Missus Burnstein, I have, I have.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
But what she didn't know was I impressed my mom
as the go getter, as the guy that will sacrifice
his lunch to go out and pick up acorns for
art projects. And she never knew the real story. She
died in two thousand and five, and I never told
(34:18):
her the truth. Never because even on her deathbed, if
I said, hey, mom, do you remember when me collecting
acorns when I was in third grade, she probably would
I said, yeah, I got punished because I hit a
kid in the eye, and she would try to get me.
She would try to lunge at me, even at the
end she had one burst of energy left and try
to choke me out, try to put her hands around
(34:40):
my neck and just.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Choke me out.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
She never knew, ever ever knew, went to her grave
not knowing that I was punished. I wasn't the art guy.
I was the guy punished, and I discovered that day.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Lying to your parents happens to work. I'm I'm just
imagining you at that age and your voice, well the
good We had a thing.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
No, I had a list in a and I think you.
I had a list, a radical list, and I couldn't
say my rs.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Oh, I'm trying to playground, to collect the acorns, you know,
let's collect the aircorns from Missus Burnstein. She's like, got
them mighty? How did this fuzzy one get out?
