Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am six and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air yesterday. From what
I understand, and I've done some pretty deep, a pretty
deep dive here on what happened. He was called yesterday
while they were rehearsing the show and said, hey, you
(00:23):
stepped off the curb. You accused the Maga crowd of
killing Charlie Kirk on Monday show. Could you please apologize
for that so we can pass that along to our
affiliates and put this, you know, speed bump aside and
(00:43):
put this to rest and get back on the show.
And he said, no, I'm not going to apologize. I'm
going to make it even bigger and make more fun
of the president and the Maga crowd. And Disney said okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
And then they said, okay, we're not We're not doing
the show anymore, at least for now. And look here
(01:06):
here's my problem with this and everybody you're on one
side of the other. It has everything to do with
your politics, has nothing to do with the suspension. You know,
the people who are happy about the suspension were pissed
about the cancel culture during the Biden administration, and the
(01:26):
exact opposite, the people that were pleasantly happy during the
Biden administration and people getting canceled are pissed that Jimmy
Kimmel is getting canceled.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
So it just goes back and forth. Every four years
or so.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Whenever there's a change administration, you're going to get people
pissed and there's gonna be little nuances, but it's basically
the same thing. And the Internet social media is filled
with people who were really pissed during the Biden administration
that people are canceled, and they're thrilled that Jimmy Kimmel
is canceled, and the exact opposite, there are people that
(02:01):
were elated that there were people canceled during the by
administration and now they're really pissed that Jimmy Kimmel has
been thrown off the air. And so whatever side you're on,
that's going to reflect your position on this. Okay, that
is probably true, but here's the problem. In my opinion,
what Jimmy Kimmel should have done is read the on
(02:24):
air apology because A. It's easy to do. B. It
keeps a lot of people's jobs going. And see, everybody
knows that you don't mean the apology anyway, She not
really losing much. Remember when Kobe Bryant called the referee
(02:46):
an fing F word, the F word that is a
gay slang. Remember that he called the referee he said,
you fing f word? And then he was told to
apologize that next day and he did You think he
changed overnight? No, of course he did. And Jimmy Kimmel
(03:08):
could have simply read the apology, gone on with his show,
and saved the two hundred jobs that are on that show.
And I think it's selfish of Jimmy Kimmel not to
do that. I know, I know, it's First Amendment freedom
of speech, all you absolutists out there, But what about
the two hundred people that lost their job? And don't
(03:30):
you think they're nervous they're going to put kids through school.
Maybe their elderly mom or dad is living with them,
or they're supporting their elderly mom and dad in a
nursing home and now they don't know how they're going
to pay for that. Maybe they have a mortgage that
they might lose their home and they don't know how
they're going to pay for the mortgage. You know, a
(03:51):
lot of people, even in show business, live paycheck to paycheck.
And I guarantee you there are people that work for
Jimmy Kimmel in the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show that are
living paycheck to paycheck. Maybe have a couple thousand dollars
saved up, but there is no There are very few
people on that show that are set for retirement because
(04:13):
show business pays a lot of money to the the
A list talent, and they don't pay a lot to
the guys coming in and doing props or lighting, makeup, wardrobe, electric,
audience coordination, guest bookings. Those people don't make a ton
(04:34):
of money. They're not making hundreds of thousands of dollars
a year. They're probably making seventy eighty ninety thousand dollars
a year. I know it seems like a lot, but
it's not. In la and all of a sudden, they
could have kept their job if Jimmy Kimmel just said, hey,
I made a mistake, sorry to Charlie Kirk's family and
then went on his show and continue the show but
(04:56):
he decided not to do that, and now all these people,
at least two hundred people or out of a job
and out of a paycheck.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And that is rude.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's it's it's not being thoughtful of the people that
you call family. When you work on a show that
long the show, the people on the show become family.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
When Jay Leno was when the.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Writers' strike happened and Jay Leno stopped doing his show
for six months. Get who paid the Jay Leno staff
for six months while they weren't working.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Jay Leno did.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
He wrote checks for every one of those people and
kept them, kept money going, going through their accounts and
into their pocket for six months. And the reason I
know that, and we've had Jay Leno on the show
and he's never told me that. But the reason why
I know that is because the head electrician for the
Jay Leno show goes to Tally Ran, one of my
(05:57):
favorite restaurants in Burbank, and he told me that, and
the guy sitting next to him also worked for Leno.
And he told me that, and the guy sitting next
to him also work for Leno.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And he told me that. I heard it from three
sources at.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
One lunch at Tali Rand and so it's got to
be true. Why would all those guys say that if
it wasn't true. So Jimmy Kimmel could have saved all
those jobs. And with the two hundred people that are
getting paid on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, I'll bet there
are one thousand people who are depending on those checks.
Let's say the dad, let's just you know, the or
(06:31):
the mom. All right, I know it's twenty twenty five.
Let's say the mom is the head electrician on the
Jimmy Kimmel Show, and she has four kids and a
husband and she's the breadwinner. Then there's five people right
there who rely on that check. And maybe they're putting
money aside for a nephew or a niece that needs
(06:55):
you know, college money or braces or whatever, I don't
know what it is. Or maybe mom and dad needs
some money. You know, they're broke and they're old and
they want to and they want to put him in
nursing home. That check also helps them out as well.
So every check, every paycheck that comes out of Jimmy
Kimmel Live, probably helps ten people. Also helps the local store,
the local restaurants. A lot of people are helped by that,
(07:17):
the people book talent, the people who do the advertising
for the show. There's probably five hundred people that work
on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, five hundred people indirectly, maybe
two hundred directly and five hundred indirectly. And now they're
all out because he wouldn't apologize. I've been suspended three
times in radio. I apologized all three times. I didn't
(07:39):
want to. I was just told I had to or
else the show would go away, and then you know, Belly,
it would be home crying. Crozier would be here because
you know, he's a news guy. Who'd you know, whatever
the next show is. You know, it'd be like Conway,
who slide into that next show. And I don't blame him.
I don't blame it at all.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Said the first day that he heard you on air,
that's funny. Oh I know.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Not only do I know that, but he also said
he goes, hey, what about the Michael Krozer Show, And
they're like, yeah, that's that sounds good.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I've always fought for that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Crozier, You know that, buddy, I always said that you
would be the greatest f ing host here your stories,
you know, from homeless to a you know, three fireplace
house in Claremont. It's a great story, you know. With
Ai it's easy to write a book. Now you should
do that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I have a book. You have a book, Nuts of
a Newsman. Oh you do? Yeah, I got to bring
it in. What does it come out? It's uh, well
it's out now in my home. Is it self published?
Are you gonna self publish it? I gotn't see what
if I can do anything with it? You got it?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We can sell it every night here. That's great, buddy,
got pizza. That's great. And it's all about your life.
Well it's an aibook okay. So and my wife did it.
She plugged in just a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh that's awesome. Yeah. So it doesn't have all the
stories necessarily that I would have. So I still have
to write my book. But you should roll it out
for the Conway party in Marongo and we could do
a book signing. Yes, that's a great, big, huge job. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Copy of the book behind you like seven feet tall.
But that's a great idea. And god, your wife did
that for you. Yeah, God almighty. It's tough to get
my wife to put the dish in the dishwa wash.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
She doesn't do that for me. Do you do the dishes?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I'll do everything. I'm gonna hear about that when I
get Yeah, so am, I, so am? I I was
vacuuming upstairs the other day. I do the dishes. I
feed the dog.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
She does the laundry. Okay, I do the laundry. Do
you well? She does it and I do it. She folds.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I do loads and put in the dryer, and then
she folds everything because I can't stand. I'm not good
at folding crap and I'm not I'm not good at that.
All all right, we gotta take right, all right, we'llcome back.
Jimmy Kimmel still suspended. Not gotta only knows if you'll
ever come back. When come back, we'll talk about there's
a new US citizenship test. Let's see if you can
pass that. And also Charlie Kirk Memorial has some information
(10:10):
on that as well.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty R.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Dean Sharp is with us. Do you know how you bob?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I'm good, I'm good, A right, all right, all right,
glad to be here.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, you know how it is, you know, I know,
you know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Fine, Hey, so you're on every Saturday six to eight
am right here on KFI, and Sunday nine am until noon.
Also Sunday you're on in San Diego. That is correct, sir.
It's a big deal. Yeah, people love the show. We're
having fun down there. Yeah, let's talk about landscaping and
defensible space around the house. Everyone always talks about fifty
feet or one hundred feet around the house.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But there's a new sort of zero zero rule. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Well it's not there yet, not there yet, but it's
it is poised to be a thing in California, and
I'm I'm a bit A lot of people are concerned
about it. I'm one of the reasons I'm concerned about
it is very few Californians have any idea what it
is at all, have heard zero about it. There have
been a couple of meetings. There's actually a public meeting
(11:13):
tonight over in Pasadena where this is being rolled out
for the LA area. But the thing is that there
there is a group a committee, the Zone zero Advisory Committee.
Zone zero, by the way, in terms of firefighting and
and all of that, the zone zero has been is
the name for the first five feet around your house,
(11:36):
okay from the wall of your house out right. And
zone zero is a problem. I mean it is a problem.
It's a problem for a lot of people. A lot
of people have got a lot of junk, a lot
of combustible stuff leaning up against their house. They got
you know, it's just where people keep a lot of
inappropriately combustible things, which I totally get. And as always,
you know, I can't come down hard on the the
(11:59):
you know, well wishing people behind some of the new regulations.
The problem I have is that I think these new
regulations go way way too far. They go into the
areas that aren't actually sustained by valid research, which is
the idea of like we're going to remove all combustible things,
(12:20):
including plants, well watered plants, any kind of plant. You know,
imagine what la looks like when everybody's home does not
have a single piece of green that can come within
five feet. Oh that's horrible the house. Yeah, Okay, that's dumb.
And that's the kind of stuff that's being pushed here.
And it's not that it isn't a good idea. In
(12:41):
some cases, it's just that this this in my opinion,
in my opinion as a home designer, as a home builder,
as somebody who's constantly pushing fire safety for homes, that
there are some parts of the new Advising Advisory Committee
regulations that they're trying to get past for next year
are smart things like ember proof bens on houses, you
(13:05):
know I'm talking about all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
There are other parts, though, about removing green verdant plant
areas from LA that will actually, if this passes, will
end up removing hundreds, maybe thousands of acres of foliage
from southern California, which is actually, in the long run,
heading us in the exact opposite direction, creating more heat islands,
(13:30):
less cooling effect, less coverage, and less shade, all of
these kinds of things. And of course this kind of
thing is going to disproportionately affect people who have lower
incomes because houses in older parts of LA, a lot
of them, much older houses have zero lot lines, so
you know, you may have a big tree growing between
(13:52):
you and the fence that's only five feet away. Well,
something like that. If it doesn't match up with the
regulation's going to have to go. That kind of stuff
and so you know, it's just it's something that I'm
not thrilled about. I am absolutely one and.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Fifty percent on the side of let's make California more
fire safe, let's make everybody's home more fire safe. But
again I've talked about this before. Eighty percent of the
homes that ignite during a wildfire, it happens because of
ember's flying through the air and getting into the attic. Okay,
and so dealing with that cuts down right there. Eight
(14:28):
out of ten homes that have burned in all the
fire events in the last few years are still standing
if we just take care of that. But this is like,
you know, this like having a leak in the boat
and a regulation comes along and says, okay. Instead of
actually just patching the leak in the boat, we're saying,
all right, here's the new rule, all water five feet
(14:48):
away from the boat. That doesn't make any sense, right, yeah,
get a boat.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So we need more and more oxygen, more greenery, not less,
now I understand. And what they're trying to do, they're
trying to get you know, a guy who has a
lawnmower and five gallons of gas next to the house
to move that away from the house.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I understand that. I get that absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But if I had to remove every tree that's five
feet from our house, and let's say we have twenty
of them, I'd have to remove seventeen of them.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Yeah, yeah, And that's my in. If you understand, like
where building codes are and the way that we deal
with building codes, I understand, you know, we learn things
and we adopt. In fact, I'm very proud of this.
I'm thrilled about this in twenty twenty six. As of
January first, all new homes and major remodels in the
state of California have to include ember proof vents.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Okay, okay, have to.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
That's if you're going to go and pull a permit
and do major work on your house. But here's the thing,
if you're not touching your house, it has always been
the tradition of the state to take it easy on you.
I can name eight out of ten homes right now
that have staircases built back in the seventy and sixties
in which the spindles on the staircase are too far
apart by today's safety codes.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay, kick, you can get his head stuck in it.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Exactly the code right now, is that you shouldn't be
able to pass a four inch ball through the stair ballusters. Okay,
one's back in the sixties and the seventies that are
still standing. You can pass up six inch or eight
inch ball through there. Okay, So you don't have the
Building and Safety department banging down your front door saying,
guess what, because a kid could get hurt, You've got
(16:32):
to change your staircase. Now, if you alter the staircase,
guess what, you got to change your staircase. But otherwise
it's grandfathered in. And I'm not saying that's right or wrong,
but I am saying this. That's how the code gets
dealt with in general, and it should be now grandfathering
in things that have been around in neighborhoods for one
hundred years.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Okay, all right, stay with us. Dean Sharps with us.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Will come back and talk about the zero zone, the
five feet defendable zone around homes, which I think is
a horrible idea and more.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
This dumb rule of zone zero taking everything that's five
feet or less away from your house, including plans including
gardening equipment. Is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's
another overreach by government. And Dean, I'm with you that
this can't possibly stand. Is there any way to fight this?
(17:29):
You know what, I have no idea because I'm sure
there is. I'm sure there is. But here's the thing.
It's already what you know, September, and this thing is
aiming to be passed and effective in twenty twenty six.
And this is the first that most people have even
heard of it. Yeah, and so I just I'm not
(17:49):
exactly sure where I would say, call your local representative,
get on the horn and have a conversation with him
about what's going on. If this is a concern to you,
because there's just a lot of there are a lot
of aspects to it.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
And again, again, well meaning, I'll give it whatever attribution necessary,
even though I'm pretty sure there's a lot of insurance
company money behind this pushing it. But but but there
was a there are well many meaning people who are
wanting to see this. And again I agree one hundred percent.
Zone zero, that first five feet around your house. It's
(18:25):
a very very very important space. Everybody from CalFire will
tell you. Everybody from your local fire department will tell you.
But you know the issue that starting in twenty twenty six,
this will apply instantly to all new building and three
years from now to everybody everywhere. Things like do you
(18:45):
have a wooden gate connecting our fence to the side
yard of your house, We can wave that goodbye because
somebody has a concern that a wooden gate could could
act like a fuse, like a like a little bridge
to bring fire up next to the house. Well, so
could a thousand other things, right, And so the point
(19:07):
is if we really look at the research and the
science again getting embers to make sure that they do
not make it inside the attic space of a house,
that's the case is the biggest, most important thing, and
everything else on this list, which is really being pushed
up front, is going to cost us dearly. And my
(19:27):
concern is that we're really talking about the minute instances
where these things are of concern. I'm not saying they
never happen. I'm just saying statistically, these are the small things,
instead of pushing the big thing. And so I am concerned. Yeah,
and this is ridiculous here. I've been reading it during
the commercial break. You can have non combustible containers that house,
(19:52):
you know, plants as long as that plant is not
eighteen inches or higher. Are they going to come out
and measure the roses that you have and planters around
your house?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It makes you question exactly. That's a whole other issue
behind this is which you know this thing gets on
the books, and then the question is how do you
enforce this right? Are there going to be fire marshals
going down every street doing inspections of every home. It's
just a very very very strange overreach and I think
(20:22):
over reaction. I understand. And but here's the thing too.
This thing first applies in what are called state responsibility areas.
That's got to be a pretty clear indicator. A state
responsibility area is a geographic area where how fire and
(20:43):
the state of California is financially and legally responsible for
suppressing wildfires.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Wow, unbelieve that's where.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's where it gets applied first, and then it just
rolls out to everybody else.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
And you'll be talking about this weekend. I will.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
We're also going to be talking about what I didn't
get to talk about last weekend because I was sick
with the VID. But we're gonna be talking about from
a design perspective, entry ways into certain areas of your
home and how important those are.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Just a personal question. How often have you had COVID?
I think I've had it. I think this was the
third time I've had Ooh, okay, knock on wood. I
hate to say this, knock on wood. I've not had it.
And my doctor who took my antibodies like two months ago,
I was sick with something else, he said, you know,
you know you don't have any COVID antibodies.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
You've never had COVID. And he thinks the reason I
don't have.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It is because I was addicted to nasal spray. When
the entire time that Afron I used to take Afron,
like through three, four or five hundred shots a day.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Oh, just that just locked the front door. That's right.
Afron just shuts you down, That's right. It also deprives
your brain of oxygen, I think.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But but yeah, he said, your blood pressure is gonna
kill you.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
But at least you didn't get COVID. I'll be listening
this week, Thanks man, Thanks Dian.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
All right, there he goes Dean Sharp this weekend eight
six to eight on Saturday, six to eight am on Saturday,
nine am to new one on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We'll come back. If you want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
To Hawaii, you can take a private plane at a
very cheap price as far as private planes go to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Come back and tell you about that.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Hey, if you're a big coffee fan, there's a new
chain coming to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
That's right, Dutch Brothers. Wake up La.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Dutch Brothers is bringing a brand new high energy specially coffee,
drinks and freezes and teas to Angelino's. It's gonna open
up his first shop at Exposition Park later this year
downtown La. So Dutch Brother's Coffee founded by two brothers
with one hundred pounds of coffee back in nineteen ninety
(22:57):
two in Grant's Pass, Oregon.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Kids love Dutch Brothers. So sounds like a live read?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, does sound like a live read? Maybe they'll be
an advertiser. That's possible. And then we have the ocean
water quality rain advisory issued for all La County beaches
because of the rain today and last night. La County
Public health officials are warning residents to avoid all water
contact near storm drains, creeks, and rivers at all county
(23:25):
beaches due to potentially elevated bacteria levels caused by recent rainfall.
So stand of the ocean, else you can get sick
and die. Then we have the fortieth annual Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies going to take place
live at five pm on November eighth at the Peacock
Theater in Los Angeles. Ceremony is honoring this year's incredible
(23:46):
inductees including Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outcast,
Sound Garden, The White Stripes, Salt and Peppa, and others.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Tickets are on sale.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Go to Rockhall dot com Rockhall dot com learn more
about purchasing tickets.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So go to that.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's in LA. It's not always in La. Mostly it's
in Cleveland where the Rock and Roll Hall of Famous.
And then finally, Semi Private Jet Company partners with the
Four Seasons Hotel in Hawaii. This is interesting. Got this
from our boy Ritchie, a company that offers luxury flights
aboard a private jet, has announced a new partnership with
(24:29):
an equally luxurious hotel brand, Arrow and Four Seasons Resort
in Maui at Wailea are teaming up to launch a
brand new semi private jet experience between Los Angeles and Maui,
creating the first weekly route of its kind to open
up to travelers between the mainland US and Hawaii. The
(24:50):
new service begins in November over Thanksgiving holiday and offers
a high end alternative to commercial flights aboard a twelve
passenger gulf Stream gulf Stream four jet. The route departs
from Vaney's Airport, so you don't have to deal with
lax at least on Saturday. Returns on Sunday, so you'll
(25:12):
be there for a week. Prices start at around fifty
five hundred dollars one way per person. And I think,
I think I'm not sure about this. I think you
have to stay at the Four Seasons in Maui and
here just a typical week of a very average room,
like the lowest end room the Four Seasons has will
(25:35):
cost you seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars for a week.
Seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars for a week. So if
two adults at seventeen thousand, five hundred, and then you've
got the ten thousand or eleven thousand dollars for the flight,
(25:55):
So you're looking at about a thirty thousand dollars week
just for the flight.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And the hotel. And I hope you enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
All Right, Tomorrow, we're gonna have We're gonna have more
on the Charlie Kirk memorial. Who's gonna speak, what the
lineup is. We'll have all that information for you tomorrow.
And don't forget tomorrow. Clayton Kershaw is pitching his last game,
last regular season game for the La Dodgers. You may
want to get out and see that against the dreaded
(26:26):
San Francisco Giants. He's retiring from baseball, so you may
want to go out and look at that as well.
All Right, got a lot going on tomorrow, a lot Today.
We had a Chase, we had Kershaw retiring, Copaitar retiring,
Jimmy Kimmel's in the news, and also Charlie Kirk memorial.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
We've covered it all. Now it's time for Mo Kelly
and his whole crew right here.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI Am six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's k IF I am six and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right,
Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air yesterday. From what
I understand, and I've done some pretty deep, a pretty
deep dive here on what happened. He was called yesterday
while they were rehearsing the show and said, hey, you
(00:23):
stepped off the curb. You accused the Maga crowd of
killing Charlie Kirk on Monday show. Could you please apologize
for that so we can pass that along to our
affiliates and put this, you know, speed bump aside and
(00:43):
put this to rest and get back on the show.
And he said, no, I'm not going to apologize. I'm
going to make it even bigger and make more fun
of the president and the Maga crowd. And Disney said okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
And then they said, okay, we're not We're not doing
the show anymore, at least for now. And look here
(01:06):
here's my problem with this and everybody you're on one
side of the other. It has everything to do with
your politics, has nothing to do with the suspension. You know,
the people who are happy about the suspension were pissed
about the cancel culture during the Biden administration, and the
(01:26):
exact opposite, the people that were pleasantly happy during the
Biden administration and people getting canceled are pissed that Jimmy
Kimmel is getting canceled.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
So it just goes back and forth. Every four years
or so.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Whenever there's a change administration, you're going to get people
pissed and there's gonna be little nuances, but it's basically
the same thing. And the Internet social media is filled
with people who were really pissed during the Biden administration
that people are canceled, and they're thrilled that Jimmy Kimmel
is canceled, and the exact opposite, there are people that
(02:01):
were elated that there were people canceled during the by
administration and now they're really pissed that Jimmy Kimmel has
been thrown off the air. And so whatever side you're on,
that's going to reflect your position on this. Okay, that
is probably true, but here's the problem. In my opinion,
what Jimmy Kimmel should have done is read the on
(02:24):
air apology because A. It's easy to do. B. It
keeps a lot of people's jobs going. And see, everybody
knows that you don't mean the apology anyway, She not
really losing much. Remember when Kobe Bryant called the referee
(02:46):
an fing F word, the F word that is a
gay slang. Remember that he called the referee he said,
you fing f word? And then he was told to
apologize that next day and he did You think he
changed overnight? No, of course he did. And Jimmy Kimmel
(03:08):
could have simply read the apology, gone on with his show,
and saved the two hundred jobs that are on that show.
And I think it's selfish of Jimmy Kimmel not to
do that. I know, I know, it's First Amendment freedom
of speech, all you absolutists out there, But what about
the two hundred people that lost their job? And don't
(03:30):
you think they're nervous they're going to put kids through school.
Maybe their elderly mom or dad is living with them,
or they're supporting their elderly mom and dad in a
nursing home and now they don't know how they're going
to pay for that. Maybe they have a mortgage that
they might lose their home and they don't know how
they're going to pay for the mortgage. You know, a
(03:51):
lot of people, even in show business, live paycheck to paycheck.
And I guarantee you there are people that work for
Jimmy Kimmel in the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show that are
living paycheck to paycheck. Maybe have a couple thousand dollars
saved up, but there is no There are very few
people on that show that are set for retirement because
(04:13):
show business pays a lot of money to the the
A list talent, and they don't pay a lot to
the guys coming in and doing props or lighting, makeup, wardrobe, electric,
audience coordination, guest bookings. Those people don't make a ton
(04:34):
of money. They're not making hundreds of thousands of dollars
a year. They're probably making seventy eighty ninety thousand dollars
a year. I know it seems like a lot, but
it's not. In la and all of a sudden, they
could have kept their job if Jimmy Kimmel just said, hey,
I made a mistake, sorry to Charlie Kirk's family and
then went on his show and continue the show but
(04:56):
he decided not to do that, and now all these people,
at least two hundred people or out of a job
and out of a paycheck.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And that is rude.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's it's it's not being thoughtful of the people that
you call family. When you work on a show that
long the show, the people on the show become family.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
When Jay Leno was when the.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Writers' strike happened and Jay Leno stopped doing his show
for six months. Get who paid the Jay Leno staff
for six months while they weren't working.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Jay Leno did.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
He wrote checks for every one of those people and
kept them, kept money going, going through their accounts and
into their pocket for six months. And the reason I
know that, and we've had Jay Leno on the show
and he's never told me that. But the reason why
I know that is because the head electrician for the
Jay Leno show goes to Tally Ran, one of my
(05:57):
favorite restaurants in Burbank, and he told me that, and
the guy sitting next to him also worked for Leno.
And he told me that, and the guy sitting next
to him also work for Leno.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And he told me that. I heard it from three
sources at.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
One lunch at Tali Rand and so it's got to
be true. Why would all those guys say that if
it wasn't true. So Jimmy Kimmel could have saved all
those jobs. And with the two hundred people that are
getting paid on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, I'll bet there
are one thousand people who are depending on those checks.
Let's say the dad, let's just you know, the or
(06:31):
the mom. All right, I know it's twenty twenty five.
Let's say the mom is the head electrician on the
Jimmy Kimmel Show, and she has four kids and a
husband and she's the breadwinner. Then there's five people right
there who rely on that check. And maybe they're putting
money aside for a nephew or a niece that needs
(06:55):
you know, college money or braces or whatever, I don't
know what it is. Or maybe mom and dad needs
some money. You know, they're broke and they're old and
they want to and they want to put him in
nursing home. That check also helps them out as well.
So every check, every paycheck that comes out of Jimmy
Kimmel Live, probably helps ten people. Also helps the local store,
the local restaurants. A lot of people are helped by that,
(07:17):
the people book talent, the people who do the advertising
for the show. There's probably five hundred people that work
on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, five hundred people indirectly, maybe
two hundred directly and five hundred indirectly. And now they're
all out because he wouldn't apologize. I've been suspended three
times in radio. I apologized all three times. I didn't
(07:39):
want to. I was just told I had to or
else the show would go away, and then you know, Belly,
it would be home crying. Crozier would be here because
you know, he's a news guy. Who'd you know, whatever
the next show is. You know, it'd be like Conway,
who slide into that next show. And I don't blame him.
I don't blame it at all.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Said the first day that he heard you on air,
that's funny. Oh I know.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Not only do I know that, but he also said
he goes, hey, what about the Michael Krozer Show, And
they're like, yeah, that's that sounds good.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I've always fought for that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Crozier, You know that, buddy, I always said that you
would be the greatest f ing host here your stories,
you know, from homeless to a you know, three fireplace
house in Claremont. It's a great story, you know. With
Ai it's easy to write a book. Now you should
do that.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I have a book. You have a book, Nuts of
a Newsman. Oh you do? Yeah, I got to bring
it in. What does it come out? It's uh, well
it's out now in my home. Is it self published?
Are you gonna self publish it? I gotn't see what
if I can do anything with it? You got it?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
We can sell it every night here. That's great, buddy,
got pizza. That's great. And it's all about your life.
Well it's an aibook okay. So and my wife did it.
She plugged in just a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh that's awesome. Yeah. So it doesn't have all the
stories necessarily that I would have. So I still have
to write my book. But you should roll it out
for the Conway party in Marongo and we could do
a book signing. Yes, that's a great, big, huge job. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Copy of the book behind you like seven feet tall.
But that's a great idea. And god, your wife did
that for you. Yeah, God almighty. It's tough to get
my wife to put the dish in the dishwa wash.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
She doesn't do that for me. Do you do the dishes?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I'll do everything. I'm gonna hear about that when I
get Yeah, so am, I, so am? I I was
vacuuming upstairs the other day. I do the dishes. I
feed the dog.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
She does the laundry. Okay, I do the laundry. Do
you well? She does it and I do it. She folds.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I do loads and put in the dryer, and then
she folds everything because I can't stand. I'm not good
at folding crap and I'm not I'm not good at that.
All all right, we gotta take right, all right, we'llcome back.
Jimmy Kimmel still suspended. Not gotta only knows if you'll
ever come back. When come back, we'll talk about there's
a new US citizenship test. Let's see if you can
pass that. And also Charlie Kirk Memorial has some information
(10:10):
on that as well.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty R.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Dean Sharp is with us. Do you know how you bob?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I'm good, I'm good, A right, all right, all right,
glad to be here.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well, you know how it is, you know, I know,
you know.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Fine, Hey, so you're on every Saturday six to eight
am right here on KFI, and Sunday nine am until noon.
Also Sunday you're on in San Diego. That is correct, sir.
It's a big deal. Yeah, people love the show. We're
having fun down there. Yeah, let's talk about landscaping and
defensible space around the house. Everyone always talks about fifty
feet or one hundred feet around the house.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
But there's a new sort of zero zero rule. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Well it's not there yet, not there yet, but it's
it is poised to be a thing in California, and
I'm I'm a bit A lot of people are concerned
about it. I'm one of the reasons I'm concerned about
it is very few Californians have any idea what it
is at all, have heard zero about it. There have
been a couple of meetings. There's actually a public meeting
(11:13):
tonight over in Pasadena where this is being rolled out
for the LA area. But the thing is that there
there is a group a committee, the Zone zero Advisory Committee.
Zone zero, by the way, in terms of firefighting and
and all of that, the zone zero has been is
the name for the first five feet around your house,
(11:36):
okay from the wall of your house out right. And
zone zero is a problem. I mean it is a problem.
It's a problem for a lot of people. A lot
of people have got a lot of junk, a lot
of combustible stuff leaning up against their house. They got
you know, it's just where people keep a lot of
inappropriately combustible things, which I totally get. And as always,
you know, I can't come down hard on the the
(11:59):
you know, well wishing people behind some of the new regulations.
The problem I have is that I think these new
regulations go way way too far. They go into the
areas that aren't actually sustained by valid research, which is
the idea of like we're going to remove all combustible things,
(12:20):
including plants, well watered plants, any kind of plant. You know,
imagine what la looks like when everybody's home does not
have a single piece of green that can come within
five feet. Oh that's horrible the house. Yeah, Okay, that's dumb.
And that's the kind of stuff that's being pushed here.
And it's not that it isn't a good idea. In
(12:41):
some cases, it's just that this this in my opinion,
in my opinion as a home designer, as a home builder,
as somebody who's constantly pushing fire safety for homes, that
there are some parts of the new Advising Advisory Committee
regulations that they're trying to get past for next year
are smart things like ember proof bens on houses, you
(13:05):
know I'm talking about all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
There are other parts, though, about removing green verdant plant
areas from LA that will actually, if this passes, will
end up removing hundreds, maybe thousands of acres of foliage
from southern California, which is actually, in the long run,
heading us in the exact opposite direction, creating more heat islands,
(13:30):
less cooling effect, less coverage, and less shade, all of
these kinds of things. And of course this kind of
thing is going to disproportionately affect people who have lower
incomes because houses in older parts of LA, a lot
of them, much older houses have zero lot lines, so
you know, you may have a big tree growing between
(13:52):
you and the fence that's only five feet away. Well,
something like that. If it doesn't match up with the
regulation's going to have to go. That kind of stuff
and so you know, it's just it's something that I'm
not thrilled about. I am absolutely one and.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Fifty percent on the side of let's make California more
fire safe, let's make everybody's home more fire safe. But
again I've talked about this before. Eighty percent of the
homes that ignite during a wildfire, it happens because of
ember's flying through the air and getting into the attic. Okay,
and so dealing with that cuts down right there. Eight
(14:28):
out of ten homes that have burned in all the
fire events in the last few years are still standing
if we just take care of that. But this is like,
you know, this like having a leak in the boat
and a regulation comes along and says, okay. Instead of
actually just patching the leak in the boat, we're saying,
all right, here's the new rule, all water five feet
(14:48):
away from the boat. That doesn't make any sense, right, yeah,
get a boat.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So we need more and more oxygen, more greenery, not less,
now I understand. And what they're trying to do, they're
trying to get you know, a guy who has a
lawnmower and five gallons of gas next to the house
to move that away from the house.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I understand that. I get that absolutely.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But if I had to remove every tree that's five
feet from our house, and let's say we have twenty
of them, I'd have to remove seventeen of them.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Yeah, yeah, And that's my in. If you understand, like
where building codes are and the way that we deal
with building codes, I understand, you know, we learn things
and we adopt. In fact, I'm very proud of this.
I'm thrilled about this in twenty twenty six. As of
January first, all new homes and major remodels in the
state of California have to include ember proof vents.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Okay, okay, have to.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
That's if you're going to go and pull a permit
and do major work on your house. But here's the thing,
if you're not touching your house, it has always been
the tradition of the state to take it easy on you.
I can name eight out of ten homes right now
that have staircases built back in the seventy and sixties
in which the spindles on the staircase are too far
apart by today's safety codes.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay, kick, you can get his head stuck in it.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Exactly the code right now, is that you shouldn't be
able to pass a four inch ball through the stair ballusters. Okay,
one's back in the sixties and the seventies that are
still standing. You can pass up six inch or eight
inch ball through there. Okay, So you don't have the
Building and Safety department banging down your front door saying,
guess what, because a kid could get hurt, You've got
(16:32):
to change your staircase. Now, if you alter the staircase,
guess what, you got to change your staircase. But otherwise
it's grandfathered in. And I'm not saying that's right or wrong,
but I am saying this. That's how the code gets
dealt with in general, and it should be now grandfathering
in things that have been around in neighborhoods for one
hundred years.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Okay, all right, stay with us. Dean Sharps with us.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Will come back and talk about the zero zone, the
five feet defendable zone around homes, which I think is
a horrible idea and more.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
This dumb rule of zone zero taking everything that's five
feet or less away from your house, including plans including
gardening equipment. Is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's
another overreach by government. And Dean, I'm with you that
this can't possibly stand. Is there any way to fight this?
(17:29):
You know what, I have no idea because I'm sure
there is. I'm sure there is. But here's the thing.
It's already what you know, September, and this thing is
aiming to be passed and effective in twenty twenty six.
And this is the first that most people have even
heard of it. Yeah, and so I just I'm not
(17:49):
exactly sure where I would say, call your local representative,
get on the horn and have a conversation with him
about what's going on. If this is a concern to you,
because there's just a lot of there are a lot
of aspects to it.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
And again, again, well meaning, I'll give it whatever attribution necessary,
even though I'm pretty sure there's a lot of insurance
company money behind this pushing it. But but but there
was a there are well many meaning people who are
wanting to see this. And again I agree one hundred percent.
Zone zero, that first five feet around your house. It's
(18:25):
a very very very important space. Everybody from CalFire will
tell you. Everybody from your local fire department will tell you.
But you know the issue that starting in twenty twenty six,
this will apply instantly to all new building and three
years from now to everybody everywhere. Things like do you
(18:45):
have a wooden gate connecting our fence to the side
yard of your house, We can wave that goodbye because
somebody has a concern that a wooden gate could could
act like a fuse, like a like a little bridge
to bring fire up next to the house. Well, so
could a thousand other things, right, And so the point
(19:07):
is if we really look at the research and the
science again getting embers to make sure that they do
not make it inside the attic space of a house,
that's the case is the biggest, most important thing, and
everything else on this list, which is really being pushed
up front, is going to cost us dearly. And my
(19:27):
concern is that we're really talking about the minute instances
where these things are of concern. I'm not saying they
never happen. I'm just saying statistically, these are the small things,
instead of pushing the big thing. And so I am concerned. Yeah,
and this is ridiculous here. I've been reading it during
the commercial break. You can have non combustible containers that house,
(19:52):
you know, plants as long as that plant is not
eighteen inches or higher. Are they going to come out
and measure the roses that you have and planters around
your house?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It makes you question exactly. That's a whole other issue
behind this is which you know this thing gets on
the books, and then the question is how do you
enforce this right? Are there going to be fire marshals
going down every street doing inspections of every home. It's
just a very very very strange overreach and I think
(20:22):
over reaction. I understand. And but here's the thing too.
This thing first applies in what are called state responsibility areas.
That's got to be a pretty clear indicator. A state
responsibility area is a geographic area where how fire and
(20:43):
the state of California is financially and legally responsible for
suppressing wildfires.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Wow, unbelieve that's where.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's where it gets applied first, and then it just
rolls out to everybody else.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
And you'll be talking about this weekend. I will.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
We're also going to be talking about what I didn't
get to talk about last weekend because I was sick
with the VID. But we're gonna be talking about from
a design perspective, entry ways into certain areas of your
home and how important those are.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Just a personal question. How often have you had COVID?
I think I've had it. I think this was the
third time I've had Ooh, okay, knock on wood. I
hate to say this, knock on wood. I've not had it.
And my doctor who took my antibodies like two months ago,
I was sick with something else, he said, you know,
you know you don't have any COVID antibodies.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
You've never had COVID. And he thinks the reason I
don't have.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It is because I was addicted to nasal spray. When
the entire time that Afron I used to take Afron,
like through three, four or five hundred shots a day.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Oh, just that just locked the front door. That's right.
Afron just shuts you down, That's right. It also deprives
your brain of oxygen, I think.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But but yeah, he said, your blood pressure is gonna
kill you.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
But at least you didn't get COVID. I'll be listening
this week, Thanks man, Thanks Dian.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
All right, there he goes Dean Sharp this weekend eight
six to eight on Saturday, six to eight am on Saturday,
nine am to new one on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
We'll come back. If you want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
To Hawaii, you can take a private plane at a
very cheap price as far as private planes go to Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Come back and tell you about that.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Hey, if you're a big coffee fan, there's a new
chain coming to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
That's right, Dutch Brothers. Wake up La.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Dutch Brothers is bringing a brand new high energy specially coffee,
drinks and freezes and teas to Angelino's. It's gonna open
up his first shop at Exposition Park later this year
downtown La. So Dutch Brother's Coffee founded by two brothers
with one hundred pounds of coffee back in nineteen ninety
(22:57):
two in Grant's Pass, Oregon.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Kids love Dutch Brothers. So sounds like a live read?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, does sound like a live read? Maybe they'll be
an advertiser. That's possible. And then we have the ocean
water quality rain advisory issued for all La County beaches
because of the rain today and last night. La County
Public health officials are warning residents to avoid all water
contact near storm drains, creeks, and rivers at all county
(23:25):
beaches due to potentially elevated bacteria levels caused by recent rainfall.
So stand of the ocean, else you can get sick
and die. Then we have the fortieth annual Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies going to take place
live at five pm on November eighth at the Peacock
Theater in Los Angeles. Ceremony is honoring this year's incredible
(23:46):
inductees including Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outcast,
Sound Garden, The White Stripes, Salt and Peppa, and others.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Tickets are on sale.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Go to Rockhall dot com Rockhall dot com learn more
about purchasing tickets.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So go to that.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's in LA. It's not always in La. Mostly it's
in Cleveland where the Rock and Roll Hall of Famous.
And then finally, Semi Private Jet Company partners with the
Four Seasons Hotel in Hawaii. This is interesting. Got this
from our boy Ritchie, a company that offers luxury flights
aboard a private jet, has announced a new partnership with
(24:29):
an equally luxurious hotel brand, Arrow and Four Seasons Resort
in Maui at Wailea are teaming up to launch a
brand new semi private jet experience between Los Angeles and Maui,
creating the first weekly route of its kind to open
up to travelers between the mainland US and Hawaii. The
(24:50):
new service begins in November over Thanksgiving holiday and offers
a high end alternative to commercial flights aboard a twelve
passenger gulf Stream gulf Stream four jet. The route departs
from Vaney's Airport, so you don't have to deal with
lax at least on Saturday. Returns on Sunday, so you'll
(25:12):
be there for a week. Prices start at around fifty
five hundred dollars one way per person. And I think,
I think I'm not sure about this. I think you
have to stay at the Four Seasons in Maui and
here just a typical week of a very average room,
like the lowest end room the Four Seasons has will
(25:35):
cost you seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars for a week.
Seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars for a week. So if
two adults at seventeen thousand, five hundred, and then you've
got the ten thousand or eleven thousand dollars for the flight,
(25:55):
So you're looking at about a thirty thousand dollars week
just for the flight.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And the hotel. And I hope you enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
All Right, Tomorrow, we're gonna have We're gonna have more
on the Charlie Kirk memorial. Who's gonna speak, what the
lineup is. We'll have all that information for you tomorrow.
And don't forget tomorrow. Clayton Kershaw is pitching his last game,
last regular season game for the La Dodgers. You may
want to get out and see that against the dreaded
(26:26):
San Francisco Giants. He's retiring from baseball, so you may
want to go out and look at that as well.
