Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's kf I AM six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
This is the five h five News with.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yes, it's Conway Thompson five thirty. Adam Crolls coming on.
He's got a big show and Bell Flower we'll talk
about that. But I heard Michael Monks come on and
he said that the brothers were they Lyell and Eric Yea,
that they were definitely going to be re sentence spot.
We got that news from a source that I think
(00:37):
jumped the gun. After hearing testimony from all witnesses today Tuesday,
the decision is expected soon. Oh, according to reports from
inside the courtroom. Previous version of this update indicated resentency
resentencing was moving forward, but NBCLA is working to obtain information,
more information from investigative reporter Eric Leonard here.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Sure, and he's inside the courtroom.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Well he's dependable. But that's so nbc LA is who
was reporting it originally.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Yeah, we had when we have Monks on it at
the top. He had just got the information that said
that there was a re sentencing, that that the judge
had approved to re sentence it. But almost immediately afterward.
That's why when we went to the top there, all
of a sudden there was this kind of disclaim. It says,
all right, hold on a second, but we are hearing
more and more that the judges leaning toward resentencing Lyle
and Eric. That's according from two reports inside that court room.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Locked the doors, two idiots are getting out. Do you
think they'll kill again?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I think it unlikely? Really, yeah, but I I you
know how I feel about this. I think if you
go back out to the car, reload and then blow
your mom away as she crawls away, you know she's
already been hit once, it's pretty brutal.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I don't I don't see.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, letting them out it seems ond Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
If it's about well they kill again, I think they're
killing is done, but maybe not.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Never k know.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
All right, it it's time for the news whip, and
let's start with our guest today who stayed late from
the Gary and Shannon Show, Kik e D How.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You I'm good? What's going on in the world?
Speaker 7 (02:07):
So AIRB and B is evolving. They won't just be
booking overnight stays in people's homes now, they are going
to users can now book special services that can be
delivered right to their door. Private chefs, pre made meals,
makeup artists, photographers, massages.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Personal trainers.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
They can all be booked.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Through the app. What about a bachelor party maybe, yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Yeah, hire a bunch of friends.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
That's right, yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Yeah, so they're not just limited to Airbnb guests. Even
locals like you and your own home can use the
app to book these services as well. And it's going
to start with two hundred and sixty cities.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Wow, all right, that's pretty cool. All right, Crozier, what's
going on, dude?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well, humans had learned to make goals. What alchemists, you know,
from medieval times they would always dream of turning lead
into gold, But modern scientists have apparently done just that.
So the basic difference between lead and gold is that
an atom of lead has exactly three more protons than
gold does. Soists physicists working at that large hadron collider
(03:19):
in Switzerland, they were smashing lead atoms together, you know,
at near light speed like they do when they ended
up producing gold. Turns out the atoms didn't smash into
each other, they would just miss each other, and that
would create an electrical field, and that caused the atoms
to kick three protons off of the lead, turning it
into small amounts of gold.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Is it.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Cost effective?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well, the amount of gold is very small, like twenty
nine trillions of a gram.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, and how much does that go?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
For three million dollars? I think the gold market's safe
for now. That's great, all.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Right, Bellia.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
What's going on in the world that we don't know about?
Speaker 8 (04:01):
San Clement is launching a search for just right sand
offshore from Data Point to Camp Penalton to replenish its
shrinking beaches and protect its reputation as a beach town.
Coastal erosion has left some beaches dangerously narrow, limiting public
access and threatening the Beachfront train line that links La
to San Diego. City leaders approved Coastal Frontiers Corporation to
(04:21):
use a dredging tool. It's like an underwater lawnmower to
scout for goldilock sand not too fine, not too coarse,
and it will actually stay in place once it's put
in there. Now, good sand is hard to find. A
previous attempt using ocean side sand failed due to its rockingness.
Northern sources were better, but costly a local match would
(04:43):
save money and reduce environmental impact data points. Seafloor is
largely unmapped, so there's a chance the sand is not usable,
but if it works, it could be a gold mine.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Wown.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They got a lot of money down in Orange County.
They're now debating on what type of sand? Right, Yeah,
all right, Angel, what's going on in the world that
we should know about?
Speaker 9 (05:04):
Well, an MIT led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone
hole is healing and on track to recover completely by
twenty sixty six.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Wow, we start using spraydy odor and again.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Well, now that you're using the sticks and the roll ons,
that's what's contributing to the rapid recovery.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, good recovery.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Yeah, and that's part of the nineteen eighty seven Montreal Protocol.
It's a global agreement that significantly reduced the production and
use of chloral floral carbon CFCs. Now, both NASA and
NOAH agree that if current regulations continue to be enforced,
the ozone layer over Antarctica is on track to fully
(05:50):
recover by twenty sixty six. So save the dates.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Ah, that's great, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Fire up those gas cards again, all right, steps. What's happening?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So I think you like In and Out? Don't you
love it too?
Speaker 10 (06:06):
The California based chain switched to natural food coloring and
beverages and syrups and will soon revamp its ketchup. The
Irvine based burger chain announced on Monday on social media
that the company is making several changes to its ingredients
sourcing policies, including the removal of artificial food coloring from
its pink lemonade and strawberry syrup and swapping out ketchup
(06:28):
that contains high fruit toast corn syrup. They plan to
phase out artificial food dives by the end of twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Thought that In and Out it's getting better. Yeah, more
cars in the line, that's Mark. We didn't have time
for you today. And so oh I had a story rallied.
Were you guys like thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
H Squirrels threatening to overrun a Santa Monica park. It's
pretty good. What's happening? The squirrels were gotten used to
the people. People got used to the squirrels. They're overfeeding them.
And of course because there are so many of them,
there are you know, there's they carry parasites and bubonic
play rabies and lime disease and all this stuff. While
feeding them, you could get all of these things. So
it's a problem in Santa Monica. Where's that happening in
(07:07):
Santa Monica. The it's there's a park in Santa Monica,
twenty six.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Acre park and the squirrels. It's at the top of
the bluffs. Here's a lot of squirrels.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's beautiful there.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
There are apparently tons of squirrels and they're more and
more because they're being fed by you know, tourists and pastors.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Are there's signs saying don't feed the squirrels.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I think there are a few signs, and they've This
has been a problem for a long time in Santa Monica.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But since yesterday.
Speaker 11 (07:36):
All right, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
All right, Okay, way.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Back, So they made some changes at Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
They did.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Let's find out what they are.
Speaker 12 (07:49):
One of Disneyland's most popular rides reopening today with some
new editions the parks.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It's a Small World ride.
Speaker 12 (07:57):
It's going to resume operations following an extended refurbishment during
the Mexico section of the ride.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Guess we'll be able to spot me.
Speaker 12 (08:04):
Gail and is Alaby Dante from the Pixar movie Coco Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I bet, I bet, Keiky, you're into that, right? Oh
all right, put your headsets on. I think you're the one.
You're the person we got. They're directing this to you.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Hello, hello, Hello, Yeah, we can hear.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You, We can hear you. I'm glad you didn't do
this before the show.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Glad you stayed. I really want to hear yeah, Kiky, listen.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
This is hello, hello, hello again.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
This is directed. This is directed towards you.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, listen to this.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Breaking news. Oh my god, I'm talking about breaking news.
Speaker 13 (08:51):
Oh hey, hey, you got monks. It's the Menindez brothers.
They have According to our friends at NBC four, they
have been re sentenced to fifty years to life, wish
would make them eligible for parole when well, now they
will have to go before the parole board. Oh okay,
(09:13):
so they're not getting out. Okay, day, thank god, or
tomorrow was gonna split. So they already have parole board
hearings scheduled when in June. Okay, so we'll have to
see what additional this just came down. Okay, apologize for
my breathing. I got excited. Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
And I'm also worried for you.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, so thank you. Anyway, that's the update. Okay, so
it just came out. Eric Leonard has taught. Let's put
Eric Leonard on with an NBC.
Speaker 14 (09:44):
He was in court deep reflection on everything that's accountability there. Absolutely,
I mean, this is one of the things that the
DA's office said that they.
Speaker 15 (09:52):
Were looking for.
Speaker 14 (09:53):
Although the judge pointed out repeatedly today it's not really
part of what the judge is considering other than their
ability to look back and see what they did in
a different light and one that's far more rational today.
Speaker 15 (10:05):
So they both talked at length about this.
Speaker 14 (10:07):
After the judge had made his initial finding that the
case was suitable for resentencing, he was going to recall
the sentence he was or recall the case and resentence.
Speaker 15 (10:17):
What we didn't know until ten.
Speaker 14 (10:19):
Minutes ago was whether or not the judge was going
to make that decision today or take all of the information,
the testimony we heard today, the evidence presented from both sides,
and the statements from the brothers, and then sit on
it and stew on it and think about what the
appropriate resolution was. But the judge said, I've thought about it.
Let me just go through what the judge said here
(10:39):
at the end of court, and if I looked this up, Eric,
what was the reaction in court when the judge made
this ruling that those brothers have been waiting, Well, it
was silent.
Speaker 15 (10:48):
There was no reaction in court.
Speaker 14 (10:49):
But the reason for that was because there was a
lot of emotion in the half hour prior to that.
As Eric and Lyle were both speaking by video link
to the court and to the judge, the family began
to tear up. Members of the family that we've seen
Anne Marie Barrault were sniveling. They were bringing kleenexes to
(11:09):
their face. You could hear them sobbing very softly. As
they heard the voices of Eric and Lylemanendez cut through
very clearly from the prison in San Diego, and they began.
Speaker 15 (11:19):
To address all of these issues.
Speaker 14 (11:21):
So, as this has finally wrapped up here today, the
judge said, I've given long thought if I were to resentence,
what would it be Because remember there were two questions here.
Speaker 15 (11:30):
First, is the case suitable for it?
Speaker 14 (11:32):
Are they deserving of resentencing and then secondly, what would
be the outcome. This wasn't I'm reading from the judge,
Michael Jessic, this was an absolutely horrific crime and there's
no way around it. But I'm equally shocked by the letters,
mostly from the prisons, that I've received. And he's referring
to letters from various corrections officers who have spent time
(11:54):
with Eric and Lylemanendez in prison over the years, who
wrote letters on their behalf support their resentencing that the
defense submitted to the court today in an exhibit. He says,
I'm equally shocked mostly for the letters from prison. I
don't expect letters from prison officials. One of them was
from a twenty five year prison lieutenant and he said
it was the only time he's ever advocated for an
(12:17):
inmate being resentenced or released or having their penalty reduced.
Speaker 15 (12:21):
It's pretty remarkable what they have done.
Speaker 14 (12:24):
This is the judge saying that about Eric and Lylemanendez,
life without parole or ELWOP as they call it in court,
gives an inmate no hope, no reason to do anything good.
And I give them a lot of credit. It's remarkable
what they did when they had no hope of ever
getting out, And he's referring to all the things we've
covered that have gone on in prison, from creating a
(12:45):
hospice care program for older inmates and gardening and art
projects and counseling other inmates.
Speaker 15 (12:51):
One of them.
Speaker 14 (12:51):
Testified today about how to come to a new understanding
of their offenses and their life after the offense. Judge
bring up the CRA reports and the violations that they
have not in this context because and it's a little
nuanced here, but the CRA issues aren't really what the
judge was considering. The law has some very narrow conditions
(13:13):
and criteria about resentencing in particular. That's what this was
focused on. The stuff in those risk reports is really
for a parole board in the future to consider, which
is what's going to happen. The judge said, they killed
two people, their parents, life without parole was an absolutely
justifiable sentence. And then the judge gave the ruling that
(13:36):
everyone was waiting for, I am going to strike the
special circumstances. This was the judge's decision that reduced the
crime now from a capital case, whether a potential death
sentence or life without parole, to a murder case, one
that carries a twenty five year to life sentence. So
for each of them, I'm going to impose sentence of
(13:57):
fifty years to life. They will be eligible parole and
their release is not up to me to decide they
he referred back the judge in his comments referred back
to Nathan Hoffman saying when he came into court that
there might be a time for resentencing Eric and Lylman
and this, but that time wasn't now. They weren't ready
(14:17):
for it, And the judge said, that's not happening today.
It is now up to the parole board and the governor.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, so that's where we stand now. They're going to
go in front of the parole board. As soon as
the press conferences start with the defense attorneys and also
the prosecution and any of the crazy family that come
out of there. We will have that for you live
plus Adam Carolla, what a big hour, Mark Big.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm looking forward to it. I'm going nowhere, Tim big, big.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Big ay ours and a small world has gotten better.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh yeah, that's right. I'm excited about that as well.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on Demya from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
We're going to take you live now to the Van
Nuys court room outside where Mark Garret and the defense
attorneys for the Menendez brothers are speaking.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
There were you.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Come here, he's Mark Rags is gathering the whole team.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
When Cliff gets.
Speaker 15 (15:12):
Up there, he might.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Taking your line.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Hey, guys, Cliff Gardner.
Speaker 16 (15:19):
Two years ago, Cliff and I were talking about another
case and he mentioned the Menendez brothers, and it was
a case that I obviously had followed, and he said
he was about to he had prepared and he was
about to file a pro per believe it or not,
rid of habeas corpus two years ago. I said, well,
(15:42):
you know what, Cliff, we talked about it. We enjoy
working together, now, have an undefeated record, continue to have
and we decided let's do it. I don't think he
who does nothing but post conviction work, or me, who
I hate doing post conviction worker, ever thought two years
(16:04):
later we'd be standing here after thirty five years, with
this wonderful family who I've grown to love like my
own family, and now we see the pot at the
end of the rainbow, so to speak, or their freedom.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I want to do a.
Speaker 16 (16:22):
Hat tip to Judge Jessic who was able to cancel
out all the noise surrounding this, all of the grand standing,
all of the political back and forth, and he did
what the code section said he should do. He did
what Justice said should happen, and he struck the special
(16:44):
circumstance and he sentenced them to fifty life, which means
they're immediately eligible. There's a for those who don't know,
in a couple of weeks there is already a clemency
hearing set. There's also a response to in the habeas
next month, Yes, next month, and so all bets are
(17:08):
still on. The resentencing has happened. I actually made a call.
First call I made was to Leslie Abramson. I couldn't
get a hold of Leslie. It went straight to voicemail.
I have long admired Leslie. I think about her often
in this courthouse, actually, because one of the last trials
(17:30):
she did was in this courthouse.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
She did say something.
Speaker 16 (17:35):
A number of years ago that no amount of TikTokers
was going to ever change anything, and so I was
calling to tease her, and so Leslie, I will tell you,
it's a whole different world we live in now, and
it's one of the things that I think is important
is to recognize that, like the legislature has done, we
(17:58):
have evolved. This is not the nineties anymore. We have
a more robust understanding of a lot of things. And
I hat tip to the family and I'll let them,
after we answer a couple of questions, speak about what
this means to them. I just know that on a
day like today, that redemption is possible. And to those
(18:23):
you saw X rated talk today, you saw kind of
the ridiculous nature of the cross examination.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
You can turn anything on its head.
Speaker 16 (18:33):
The fact is the Menendez brothers have done remarkable work.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
And today is a great day after thirty five years.
Speaker 16 (18:43):
After this just a reaction.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I told them to call me on their burner phone.
Speaker 16 (18:52):
Oregans walking ninety I want, I argued, and I still
believe that they should out. I I Mark Garretts, how
are you right?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
So they.
Speaker 16 (19:10):
They yeah, no, that's I understand what's happening. The governor
would only have that ability constitutionally if the.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Parole Board does it right now.
Speaker 16 (19:21):
What is pending is because it's fifty to life, they're
immediately eligible. The first thing that is set is the
clemency hearing, which is I believe on June thirteenth. So
the clemency Board, and this is something new, will make
a recommendation to the governor and then the governor will
take action either before or after.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
So yestion ron Thanksgiving he said, Aleman to be held
by then, and people said it's never going to happen.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
He said, they will be present.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
This is a huge victory for you and for the family.
Speaker 17 (19:55):
Clearly, what do you think the realistic talk on is
now finally.
Speaker 16 (19:59):
See I've said ever since my failed prediction of Thanksgiving
dinner that twenty twenty five would be their year.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I mean, they got caught.
Speaker 16 (20:10):
Ironically, they've been caught in politics thirty years ago in
a DA's race. They got caught in politics now in
twenty twenty four. And I'm hopeful now that Judge Jessic
did what he was supposed to do, and I'm hopeful
that now they that the right thing will be done
(20:32):
and they walk out. You know, they've got a family,
and I think what I think the takeaway for me
today was that the family this has become their trauma,
has become kind of the subject of puri and interest.
But they are a real family, real people who have
(20:52):
lived through unimaginable whores and I'm hopeful and glad that
we're one huge step closer to bringing the boys home.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Thanks. Yes, No, I'm not concerned with that.
Speaker 16 (21:12):
I think at this point, at this point, the record
is such that the that the Code section calls for this.
This was a from my mind, this was the minimum
that they should get it. Also, somebody mentioned this to
me in the courtroom just now. This is a this
(21:34):
is a decision that I think will reverberate in the
criminal justice system. One of the things that we have
argued all along, and what the judge said today, the
judge comment and today this is one of the most
remarkable and he used that term remarkable transformations, and he said,
(21:54):
while the crime was truly horrific and remarkable, the thirty
five years since what they have accomplished is remarkable and
with no hope, and we've said that since day one,
and so with no hope. This encourages people who are
incarcerated to take to make the right decisions, to take
(22:15):
the right path. So I couldn't be It's just a
win win on so many levels. And I will let
the family talk.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I could not. Yes, I have not.
Speaker 16 (22:29):
I have not talked yet to Joan, but I'm hoping
I'll let.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
The family say that. I'll let the family say that.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
This is a good day.
Speaker 16 (22:46):
It's mister, it's mister Hawkman's pr person.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Can you do me a favor? No, I don't know
you're mister Hawkman does.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
All right, that's uh, that's the press conference today.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
That's in the family.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Mark, let me hear what this.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (23:15):
You have brought hope to this family that we didn't
see com.
Speaker 16 (23:21):
You know, we would be remiss if I didn't think
Alexandra Kazarian, my partner who's here by main, if I
didn't think Melaina Blake and Mike Romano.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Okay, he's just gonna thank everybody, all right. When we
come back, it's Conway and Thompson. When we come back,
let's bring that audio down bulldoze.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
By way, can we bring it down?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
When we come back, Adam Carolla is coming on with us,
and he's very instrumental in this thing happening.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I didn't realize his relevance to this.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Hulta, he's the guy he went on with Adam Carola.
I had Mark Arragos on the show. On the show
and he said that these two kids have been over
for punished and two or three years ago, Mark Ergos said,
I'll look into it, and he's and Mark Ergos said
the reason why he took this case is because of
Adam Carolla. Wild and when we come back, we'll talk
to Adam Carolla about it.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Wow, what a connection, what timing.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, I'll be interested to see you in Corolla kind
of go back and.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Sie, I never knew that there was a Corolla connection
to this.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Never, no, nor did I.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Show Conways Show. Thompson's here and the Menendez brothers are
going to be getting out of jail soon. And Adam
Carolla had a huge part to play in it and
he's with us.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Adam Carolla, welcome to KFI.
Speaker 15 (24:40):
How you Bob, I'm good?
Speaker 17 (24:43):
How are you, buddy?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I can't I never heard the connection you had with
a Menda's brothers until today.
Speaker 17 (24:51):
Well, Mark Erragos is a is a good friend, okay,
and a neighbor. And I did a podcast with him
and I think he I thought I was Armenian because
I wear a lot of cologne and I have a
cat back exhausted stem on my BMW, so i'd have
the heart to tell him I'm Italian. So they don't
(25:13):
say anything that you see him. But I said to
him several years ago, I just said, I didn't know
what the Menenda's brothers are still doing rotten in prison.
They don't pose a threat to society. I've always said,
I don't really care about the domestic stuff. It's the
(25:34):
randos who push people onto the subway track or the
homeless people that bonk people over the head with a sledgehammer.
Those are the people I worry about that, you know,
the sort of domestic stuff. They should be punished, but
they're not a threat to society. And I just said,
he's very close with my two twins at eighteen now.
(25:56):
And I just said, Mark, if my daughter walked into
my son's bedroom one day and said, I'm thinking about
blown away, dad, mom of the shotgun? Are you in
and my daughter my son said what day? He said
Sunday And my son said this Sunday or the following Sunday.
(26:19):
We did something bad as a parent when we failed
as a parent.
Speaker 15 (26:23):
Both of us.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Right, I got it.
Speaker 17 (26:25):
I go. When I told that to Mark, it somehow
sparked something like he thought it was funny. But it
also sort of sparked something, and he'll tell that story
in interviews and stuff. But he didn't take it to heed,
and eventually he just started looking into the case. And
here we are today.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You know, I'm carolers with us. I ran into somebody
connected with the case. I don't want to say who,
because I've too many people who are already think I'm
a huge a hole. But I was at Santa Nita
and maybe you could put this together. And one of
the people associated with this case. I ran into him
at Santa Nita and I said, hey, you know, once
these kids get out, what are they going to do?
(27:07):
And he said, I don't know, maybe write a book
or a podcast or something. And I said, I got
a great job for them. He goes, oh, well, you
got a job at KFI. Said no, no, no, not
a KFI. But when a horse does a cartwheel on
the backstretch, they put a tent around them, and they put.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
A they got a shotgun.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
They put a.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Bullet right in that and that horse's head and kill
it and then haul it off to make dog food.
I think these kids would be perfect for that job.
He called me an a hole and walked away.
Speaker 17 (27:37):
Well, you've got to.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Know your room man, garages might not have been the right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I never said it was garatgo Oh you didn't, Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I just assumed it was.
Speaker 17 (27:46):
They're going to need to do something because initially when
they went in in the very early nineties, they took
as a trade in prison VCR player. That was first
(28:07):
somehow co would make money for keys.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yeah, their first stop is a blockbuster.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So adam.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
But I mean, the the whole thing is pretty nasty, right,
The whole scene is pretty nasty, and it's it's hard.
And those who say, you know, these guys should go
away forever and they should never get parole, it's you
take on water quickly trying to argue, no, they're they're
no threat. And even though they went outside reloaded as
(28:40):
the you know, their mom crawls away, they blow her
away again. It's hard to argue, you know, righteously for
their release. You know what I'm saying. It just because
of the nature of things, that's all.
Speaker 17 (28:51):
Yeah, I don't think you can I think what you
can do and maybe we should do this. You go
punishment versus threat to society, So we all go, if
somebody does something heinous, we want them punish. But I
also would like to weigh in threat to society, you know,
(29:15):
and I think the threat to society is about a
zero for them. So that worked for them, and then
you get to the punishment part. And if they've been
incarcerated for more than thirty years, then for me, I've
checked both boxes. Okay, But Adam, they were in prison
for eight years and or pose a threat, I would
(29:38):
think differently.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Okay, let me.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Expand on that just a little bit and make it
a little personal. When Leslie Abramson had that final press
conference after these two were convicted, she said in the
press conference, you can't get a fair trial in this
town because of idiots like Conway and Steckler, because we
used to beat up on the Menendez brothers all the time.
So when these two get out, I'm gonna have to
either move or hire somebody to sit in front of
(30:03):
the yard and let me know when these chaps show up.
Speaker 17 (30:08):
Well, I'm your man, number one. You could benefit from
my latest invention. Conway which is fake Korean on the roof.
You live in a high crime area. I gotta plastic
(30:28):
Korean with a hunting gun that'll fit nicely on your
roof and it really keeps the bad guy in the way.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
But I really do like your angle though of this
will make parents straighten up around their kids.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
If this is going to be legal.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Now it's pretty legal.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah, you gotta, you gotta not your thirty years, is
what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Right, But Adam, you got a good point, you know when,
Like if when my when I was younger, my brother said, Hey,
we're gonna knock mom off, that would have been a
no brainer.
Speaker 17 (31:05):
Yeah. I mean, I maybe it's selfish, but as a
taxpayer at a certain point, I don't want to flip
the bill for people just to die in prison as
a tax payer, like I would like to make room
for one of these guys who's been arrested eighty one
times and took a hammer to someone on the subway
(31:28):
like that.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
Right, that's right, that's.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
My speaking of.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
One of my favorite things to watch online is when
you go into Malibu or Pacific Palisades and you talk
to the guys either the Army Corps of engineers, or
this guy Glenn who is clearing three lots in Malibu. Man,
I can't stop watching those, and I've noticed that the
views on those go through the roof. I love those things.
(31:54):
I hope you do a bunch more of those.
Speaker 17 (31:58):
Oh thanks, Yeah, that's my vow. And it just sort
of happened organically because I was in Malibu and I've
been displaced, and I was just sitting around my shop
on a Friday, and my guy with the video camera said, well,
why don't we just go to your old place and
I'll bring the video camera and we'll just see what
we find. So I just sort of organically did themand
(32:21):
on the street kind of thing we have. How they
have another one dropping this Thursday, and we'll have one
or two dropping a week and we'll keep everyone updated
on the palisades in Malibu. And it's very interesting and
we get access to places that you wouldn't get access to,
and I find it interesting myself, So thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
One of my favorite things is when you were doing
the show where you went in and renovated your house
with a crew that you were mostly friends with. They
were okay at what they did, but you know, they
got the job because you've known them for a long time.
And they cut one of those lamb beams. They cut
the wrong one, and I still remember where I was
watching that thing and how pissed off you got.
Speaker 17 (33:04):
Well, all right, not to bore you with specs, but
you ordered glue lamb beams per foot, right, So if
you had a span at your house, tim that was
fifteen and a half feet, you would order a sixteen
foot glue lamb beam and just cut six inches off.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
That's how it works, right, right.
Speaker 17 (33:23):
So I had like one twenty two footer and one
fourteen footer and I told Gary, yeah, just go cut
me one at thirteen feet, meaning choose the short one
is why are you cutting nine feet off of something
that costs two hundred dollars a foot when you order it?
See my promise is I was. I was never dumb
(33:46):
enough to try to explain things to them that were
soently obvious that I didn't think I had to.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
You know, this is one of the greatest Your look
when they put you on camera and you're looking where
you've been. Wait a minute, is got to be the shorter
when they cut and then you see that not because
it's A.
Speaker 17 (34:04):
It's a it's a you know, it's a six week
lead time and the stuff two hundred bucks.
Speaker 15 (34:09):
A foot, So.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Buddy, what's greater?
Speaker 17 (34:16):
Lucky? He's lucky. I didn't have a shotgun and he
wasn't holding in the ice.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I like the way Adam brought buttons it out for us. Yeah, uh,
that's right.
Speaker 17 (34:29):
That's what a p.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Bellflower. The twenty fourth of May, that's where.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
You're gonna be.

the night animal after my anniversary. So I'm going to
try to slide down there and make that my anniversary
gift to my wife, which is just uh, which is
better than where I took her in Vegas. I went
to I bought tickets for Surreal Neil, which is the
Neil Diamond knockoff, and I tried to get her drunk
enough where she was in the audience and I believe
(35:09):
that that was actually Neil Diamond.
Speaker 17 (35:11):
H Yeah, yeah, you know, Kimmel came up with the
greatest Neil Diamond impersonator band name, which would be Neil
Cubic Zirconia.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That's good.
Speaker 17 (35:28):
It might not fit on the marquee, but it's.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
A great Adam, thanks for coming on with us, man,
I always have a great laugh.

I appreciate it. And that flog is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
You're the only guy out there giving those guy guys
the real time that they deserve and cleaning up all
this crap.
Speaker 17 (35:44):
Well, I'm flattered you like it and it's freeing you.
Just go atcrol dot com and look at the blog,
and I enjoy it, so we'll.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Keep them coming, all right, thanks man, appreciate it. Stuff man,
all right, Adam Krolla. Everybody go to adamcroller dot com.
Check out the podcast Bellflower. Two shows. It is Sunday.
The earlier show is sold out. Later show tickets left.
We can back. I'll tell you the theater.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
It's literally your anniversary this weekend.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
No, I'm sorry, the next weekend, twenty third is my
anniversary and his show's on the twenty fourth, So.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Maybe yeah, slide down there. Why not at the anniversary?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Fun yet they dog some laughs?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Yeah exactly, all right, I know we gotta take a break.
We're live on KFI. Lot's going on in this hour, Man,
This I think was our best hour we've ever done.
I got the Menendez Brothers, a little bit on the
Small World, and Adam Kroller Big Dong.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
We're live on KFIM six forty.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on kfi AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's kf I AM six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
This is the five h five News with.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yes, it's Conway Thompson five thirty. Adam Crolls coming on.
He's got a big show and Bell Flower we'll talk
about that. But I heard Michael Monks come on and
he said that the brothers were they Lyell and Eric Yea,
that they were definitely going to be re sentence spot.
We got that news from a source that I think
(00:37):
jumped the gun. After hearing testimony from all witnesses today Tuesday,
the decision is expected soon. Oh, according to reports from
inside the courtroom. Previous version of this update indicated resentency
resentencing was moving forward, but NBCLA is working to obtain information,
more information from investigative reporter Eric Leonard here.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Sure, and he's inside the courtroom.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Well he's dependable. But that's so nbc LA is who
was reporting it originally.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Yeah, we had when we have Monks on it at
the top. He had just got the information that said
that there was a re sentencing, that that the judge
had approved to re sentence it. But almost immediately afterward.
That's why when we went to the top there, all
of a sudden there was this kind of disclaim. It says,
all right, hold on a second, but we are hearing
more and more that the judges leaning toward resentencing Lyle
and Eric. That's according from two reports inside that court room.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Locked the doors, two idiots are getting out. Do you
think they'll kill again?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I think it unlikely? Really, yeah, but I I you
know how I feel about this. I think if you
go back out to the car, reload and then blow
your mom away as she crawls away, you know she's
already been hit once, it's pretty brutal.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I don't I don't see.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, letting them out it seems ond Yeah, but.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
If it's about well they kill again, I think they're
killing is done, but maybe not.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
Never k know.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
All right, it it's time for the news whip, and
let's start with our guest today who stayed late from
the Gary and Shannon Show, Kik e D How.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You I'm good? What's going on in the world?
Speaker 7 (02:07):
So AIRB and B is evolving. They won't just be
booking overnight stays in people's homes now, they are going
to users can now book special services that can be
delivered right to their door. Private chefs, pre made meals,
makeup artists, photographers, massages.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Personal trainers.
Speaker 7 (02:28):
They can all be booked.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Through the app. What about a bachelor party maybe, yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Yeah, hire a bunch of friends.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
That's right, yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Yeah, so they're not just limited to Airbnb guests. Even
locals like you and your own home can use the
app to book these services as well. And it's going
to start with two hundred and sixty cities.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Wow, all right, that's pretty cool. All right, Crozier, what's
going on, dude?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well, humans had learned to make goals. What alchemists, you know,
from medieval times they would always dream of turning lead
into gold, But modern scientists have apparently done just that.
So the basic difference between lead and gold is that
an atom of lead has exactly three more protons than
gold does. Soists physicists working at that large hadron collider
(03:19):
in Switzerland, they were smashing lead atoms together, you know,
at near light speed like they do when they ended
up producing gold. Turns out the atoms didn't smash into
each other, they would just miss each other, and that
would create an electrical field, and that caused the atoms
to kick three protons off of the lead, turning it
into small amounts of gold.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Is it.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Cost effective?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well, the amount of gold is very small, like twenty
nine trillions of a gram.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, and how much does that go?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
For three million dollars? I think the gold market's safe
for now. That's great, all.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Right, Bellia.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
What's going on in the world that we don't know about?
Speaker 8 (04:01):
San Clement is launching a search for just right sand
offshore from Data Point to Camp Penalton to replenish its
shrinking beaches and protect its reputation as a beach town.
Coastal erosion has left some beaches dangerously narrow, limiting public
access and threatening the Beachfront train line that links La
to San Diego. City leaders approved Coastal Frontiers Corporation to
(04:21):
use a dredging tool. It's like an underwater lawnmower to
scout for goldilock sand not too fine, not too coarse,
and it will actually stay in place once it's put
in there. Now, good sand is hard to find. A
previous attempt using ocean side sand failed due to its rockingness.
Northern sources were better, but costly a local match would
(04:43):
save money and reduce environmental impact data points. Seafloor is
largely unmapped, so there's a chance the sand is not usable,
but if it works, it could be a gold mine.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Wown.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
They got a lot of money down in Orange County.
They're now debating on what type of sand? Right, Yeah,
all right, Angel, what's going on in the world that
we should know about?
Speaker 9 (05:04):
Well, an MIT led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone
hole is healing and on track to recover completely by
twenty sixty six.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Wow, we start using spraydy odor and again.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
Well, now that you're using the sticks and the roll ons,
that's what's contributing to the rapid recovery.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, good recovery.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Yeah, and that's part of the nineteen eighty seven Montreal Protocol.
It's a global agreement that significantly reduced the production and
use of chloral floral carbon CFCs. Now, both NASA and
NOAH agree that if current regulations continue to be enforced,
the ozone layer over Antarctica is on track to fully
(05:50):
recover by twenty sixty six. So save the dates.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Ah, that's great, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Fire up those gas cards again, all right, steps. What's happening?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
So I think you like In and Out? Don't you
love it too?
Speaker 10 (06:06):
The California based chain switched to natural food coloring and
beverages and syrups and will soon revamp its ketchup. The
Irvine based burger chain announced on Monday on social media
that the company is making several changes to its ingredients
sourcing policies, including the removal of artificial food coloring from
its pink lemonade and strawberry syrup and swapping out ketchup
(06:28):
that contains high fruit toast corn syrup. They plan to
phase out artificial food dives by the end of twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Thought that In and Out it's getting better. Yeah, more
cars in the line, that's Mark. We didn't have time
for you today. And so oh I had a story rallied.
Were you guys like thirty seconds.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
H Squirrels threatening to overrun a Santa Monica park. It's
pretty good. What's happening? The squirrels were gotten used to
the people. People got used to the squirrels. They're overfeeding them.
And of course because there are so many of them,
there are you know, there's they carry parasites and bubonic
play rabies and lime disease and all this stuff. While
feeding them, you could get all of these things. So
it's a problem in Santa Monica. Where's that happening in
(07:07):
Santa Monica. The it's there's a park in Santa Monica,
twenty six.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Acre park and the squirrels. It's at the top of
the bluffs. Here's a lot of squirrels.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's beautiful there.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
There are apparently tons of squirrels and they're more and
more because they're being fed by you know, tourists and pastors.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Are there's signs saying don't feed the squirrels.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I think there are a few signs, and they've This
has been a problem for a long time in Santa Monica.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
But since yesterday.
Speaker 11 (07:36):
All right, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
All right, Okay, way.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Back, So they made some changes at Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
They did.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Let's find out what they are.
Speaker 12 (07:49):
One of Disneyland's most popular rides reopening today with some
new editions the parks.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It's a Small World ride.
Speaker 12 (07:57):
It's going to resume operations following an extended refurbishment during
the Mexico section of the ride.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Guess we'll be able to spot me.
Speaker 12 (08:04):
Gail and is Alaby Dante from the Pixar movie Coco Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I bet, I bet, Keiky, you're into that, right? Oh
all right, put your headsets on. I think you're the one.
You're the person we got. They're directing this to you.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Hello, hello, Hello, Yeah, we can hear.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You, We can hear you. I'm glad you didn't do
this before the show.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Glad you stayed. I really want to hear yeah, Kiky, listen.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
This is hello, hello, hello again.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
This is directed. This is directed towards you.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, listen to this.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Breaking news. Oh my god, I'm talking about breaking news.
Speaker 13 (08:51):
Oh hey, hey, you got monks. It's the Menindez brothers.
They have According to our friends at NBC four, they
have been re sentenced to fifty years to life, wish
would make them eligible for parole when well, now they
will have to go before the parole board. Oh okay,
(09:13):
so they're not getting out. Okay, day, thank god, or
tomorrow was gonna split. So they already have parole board
hearings scheduled when in June. Okay, so we'll have to
see what additional this just came down. Okay, apologize for
my breathing. I got excited. Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
And I'm also worried for you.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, so thank you. Anyway, that's the update. Okay, so
it just came out. Eric Leonard has taught. Let's put
Eric Leonard on with an NBC.
Speaker 14 (09:44):
He was in court deep reflection on everything that's accountability there. Absolutely,
I mean, this is one of the things that the
DA's office said that they.
Speaker 15 (09:52):
Were looking for.
Speaker 14 (09:53):
Although the judge pointed out repeatedly today it's not really
part of what the judge is considering other than their
ability to look back and see what they did in
a different light and one that's far more rational today.
Speaker 15 (10:05):
So they both talked at length about this.
Speaker 14 (10:07):
After the judge had made his initial finding that the
case was suitable for resentencing, he was going to recall
the sentence he was or recall the case and resentence.
Speaker 15 (10:17):
What we didn't know until ten.
Speaker 14 (10:19):
Minutes ago was whether or not the judge was going
to make that decision today or take all of the information,
the testimony we heard today, the evidence presented from both sides,
and the statements from the brothers, and then sit on
it and stew on it and think about what the
appropriate resolution was. But the judge said, I've thought about it.
Let me just go through what the judge said here
(10:39):
at the end of court, and if I looked this up, Eric,
what was the reaction in court when the judge made
this ruling that those brothers have been waiting, Well, it
was silent.
Speaker 15 (10:48):
There was no reaction in court.
Speaker 14 (10:49):
But the reason for that was because there was a
lot of emotion in the half hour prior to that.
As Eric and Lyle were both speaking by video link
to the court and to the judge, the family began
to tear up. Members of the family that we've seen
Anne Marie Barrault were sniveling. They were bringing kleenexes to
(11:09):
their face. You could hear them sobbing very softly. As
they heard the voices of Eric and Lylemanendez cut through
very clearly from the prison in San Diego, and they began.
Speaker 15 (11:19):
To address all of these issues.
Speaker 14 (11:21):
So, as this has finally wrapped up here today, the
judge said, I've given long thought if I were to resentence,
what would it be Because remember there were two questions here.
Speaker 15 (11:30):
First, is the case suitable for it?
Speaker 14 (11:32):
Are they deserving of resentencing and then secondly, what would
be the outcome. This wasn't I'm reading from the judge,
Michael Jessic, this was an absolutely horrific crime and there's
no way around it. But I'm equally shocked by the letters,
mostly from the prisons, that I've received. And he's referring
to letters from various corrections officers who have spent time
(11:54):
with Eric and Lylemanendez in prison over the years, who
wrote letters on their behalf support their resentencing that the
defense submitted to the court today in an exhibit. He says,
I'm equally shocked mostly for the letters from prison. I
don't expect letters from prison officials. One of them was
from a twenty five year prison lieutenant and he said
it was the only time he's ever advocated for an
(12:17):
inmate being resentenced or released or having their penalty reduced.
Speaker 15 (12:21):
It's pretty remarkable what they have done.
Speaker 14 (12:24):
This is the judge saying that about Eric and Lylemanendez,
life without parole or ELWOP as they call it in court,
gives an inmate no hope, no reason to do anything good.
And I give them a lot of credit. It's remarkable
what they did when they had no hope of ever
getting out, And he's referring to all the things we've
covered that have gone on in prison, from creating a
(12:45):
hospice care program for older inmates and gardening and art
projects and counseling other inmates.
Speaker 15 (12:51):
One of them.
Speaker 14 (12:51):
Testified today about how to come to a new understanding
of their offenses and their life after the offense. Judge
bring up the CRA reports and the violations that they
have not in this context because and it's a little
nuanced here, but the CRA issues aren't really what the
judge was considering. The law has some very narrow conditions
(13:13):
and criteria about resentencing in particular. That's what this was
focused on. The stuff in those risk reports is really
for a parole board in the future to consider, which
is what's going to happen. The judge said, they killed
two people, their parents, life without parole was an absolutely
justifiable sentence. And then the judge gave the ruling that
(13:36):
everyone was waiting for, I am going to strike the
special circumstances. This was the judge's decision that reduced the
crime now from a capital case, whether a potential death
sentence or life without parole, to a murder case, one
that carries a twenty five year to life sentence. So
for each of them, I'm going to impose sentence of
(13:57):
fifty years to life. They will be eligible parole and
their release is not up to me to decide they
he referred back the judge in his comments referred back
to Nathan Hoffman saying when he came into court that
there might be a time for resentencing Eric and Lylman
and this, but that time wasn't now. They weren't ready
(14:17):
for it, And the judge said, that's not happening today.
It is now up to the parole board and the governor.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, so that's where we stand now. They're going to
go in front of the parole board. As soon as
the press conferences start with the defense attorneys and also
the prosecution and any of the crazy family that come
out of there. We will have that for you live
plus Adam Carolla, what a big hour, Mark Big.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm looking forward to it. I'm going nowhere, Tim big, big.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Big ay ours and a small world has gotten better.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh yeah, that's right. I'm excited about that as well.
Speaker 11 (14:50):
You're listening to Tim conwaytun You're on Demya from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
We're going to take you live now to the Van
Nuys court room outside where Mark Garret and the defense
attorneys for the Menendez brothers are speaking.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
There were you.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Come here, he's Mark Rags is gathering the whole team.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
When Cliff gets.
Speaker 15 (15:12):
Up there, he might.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Taking your line.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Hey, guys, Cliff Gardner.
Speaker 16 (15:19):
Two years ago, Cliff and I were talking about another
case and he mentioned the Menendez brothers, and it was
a case that I obviously had followed, and he said
he was about to he had prepared and he was
about to file a pro per believe it or not,
rid of habeas corpus two years ago. I said, well,
(15:42):
you know what, Cliff, we talked about it. We enjoy
working together, now, have an undefeated record, continue to have
and we decided let's do it. I don't think he
who does nothing but post conviction work, or me, who
I hate doing post conviction worker, ever thought two years
(16:04):
later we'd be standing here after thirty five years, with
this wonderful family who I've grown to love like my
own family, and now we see the pot at the
end of the rainbow, so to speak, or their freedom.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I want to do a.
Speaker 16 (16:22):
Hat tip to Judge Jessic who was able to cancel
out all the noise surrounding this, all of the grand standing,
all of the political back and forth, and he did
what the code section said he should do. He did
what Justice said should happen, and he struck the special
(16:44):
circumstance and he sentenced them to fifty life, which means
they're immediately eligible. There's a for those who don't know,
in a couple of weeks there is already a clemency
hearing set. There's also a response to in the habeas
next month, Yes, next month, and so all bets are
(17:08):
still on. The resentencing has happened. I actually made a call.
First call I made was to Leslie Abramson. I couldn't
get a hold of Leslie. It went straight to voicemail.
I have long admired Leslie. I think about her often
in this courthouse, actually, because one of the last trials
(17:30):
she did was in this courthouse.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
She did say something.
Speaker 16 (17:35):
A number of years ago that no amount of TikTokers
was going to ever change anything, and so I was
calling to tease her, and so Leslie, I will tell you,
it's a whole different world we live in now, and
it's one of the things that I think is important
is to recognize that, like the legislature has done, we
(17:58):
have evolved. This is not the nineties anymore. We have
a more robust understanding of a lot of things. And
I hat tip to the family and I'll let them,
after we answer a couple of questions, speak about what
this means to them. I just know that on a
day like today, that redemption is possible. And to those
(18:23):
you saw X rated talk today, you saw kind of
the ridiculous nature of the cross examination.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
You can turn anything on its head.
Speaker 16 (18:33):
The fact is the Menendez brothers have done remarkable work.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
And today is a great day after thirty five years.
Speaker 16 (18:43):
After this just a reaction.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I told them to call me on their burner phone.
Speaker 16 (18:52):
Oregans walking ninety I want, I argued, and I still
believe that they should out. I I Mark Garretts, how
are you right?
Speaker 6 (19:07):
So they.
Speaker 16 (19:10):
They yeah, no, that's I understand what's happening. The governor
would only have that ability constitutionally if the.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Parole Board does it right now.
Speaker 16 (19:21):
What is pending is because it's fifty to life, they're
immediately eligible. The first thing that is set is the
clemency hearing, which is I believe on June thirteenth. So
the clemency Board, and this is something new, will make
a recommendation to the governor and then the governor will
take action either before or after.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
So yestion ron Thanksgiving he said, Aleman to be held
by then, and people said it's never going to happen.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
He said, they will be present.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
This is a huge victory for you and for the family.
Speaker 17 (19:55):
Clearly, what do you think the realistic talk on is
now finally.
Speaker 16 (19:59):
See I've said ever since my failed prediction of Thanksgiving
dinner that twenty twenty five would be their year.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I mean, they got caught.
Speaker 16 (20:10):
Ironically, they've been caught in politics thirty years ago in
a DA's race. They got caught in politics now in
twenty twenty four. And I'm hopeful now that Judge Jessic
did what he was supposed to do, and I'm hopeful
that now they that the right thing will be done
(20:32):
and they walk out. You know, they've got a family,
and I think what I think the takeaway for me
today was that the family this has become their trauma,
has become kind of the subject of puri and interest.
But they are a real family, real people who have
(20:52):
lived through unimaginable whores and I'm hopeful and glad that
we're one huge step closer to bringing the boys home.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Thanks. Yes, No, I'm not concerned with that.
Speaker 16 (21:12):
I think at this point, at this point, the record
is such that the that the Code section calls for this.
This was a from my mind, this was the minimum
that they should get it. Also, somebody mentioned this to
me in the courtroom just now. This is a this
(21:34):
is a decision that I think will reverberate in the
criminal justice system. One of the things that we have
argued all along, and what the judge said today, the
judge comment and today this is one of the most
remarkable and he used that term remarkable transformations, and he said,
(21:54):
while the crime was truly horrific and remarkable, the thirty
five years since what they have accomplished is remarkable and
with no hope, and we've said that since day one,
and so with no hope. This encourages people who are
incarcerated to take to make the right decisions, to take
(22:15):
the right path. So I couldn't be It's just a
win win on so many levels. And I will let
the family talk.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
I could not. Yes, I have not.
Speaker 16 (22:29):
I have not talked yet to Joan, but I'm hoping
I'll let.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
The family say that. I'll let the family say that.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
This is a good day.
Speaker 16 (22:46):
It's mister, it's mister Hawkman's pr person.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Can you do me a favor? No, I don't know
you're mister Hawkman does.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
All right, that's uh, that's the press conference today.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
That's in the family.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Mark, let me hear what this.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (23:15):
You have brought hope to this family that we didn't
see com.
Speaker 16 (23:21):
You know, we would be remiss if I didn't think
Alexandra Kazarian, my partner who's here by main, if I
didn't think Melaina Blake and Mike Romano.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Okay, he's just gonna thank everybody, all right. When we
come back, it's Conway and Thompson. When we come back,
let's bring that audio down bulldoze.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
By way, can we bring it down?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
When we come back, Adam Carolla is coming on with us,
and he's very instrumental in this thing happening.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I didn't realize his relevance to this.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Hulta, he's the guy he went on with Adam Carola.
I had Mark Arragos on the show. On the show
and he said that these two kids have been over
for punished and two or three years ago, Mark Ergos said,
I'll look into it, and he's and Mark Ergos said
the reason why he took this case is because of
Adam Carolla. Wild and when we come back, we'll talk
to Adam Carolla about it.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Wow, what a connection, what timing.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, I'll be interested to see you in Corolla kind
of go back and.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Sie, I never knew that there was a Corolla connection
to this.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Never, no, nor did I.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Show Conways Show. Thompson's here and the Menendez brothers are
going to be getting out of jail soon. And Adam
Carolla had a huge part to play in it and
he's with us.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Adam Carolla, welcome to KFI.
Speaker 15 (24:40):
How you Bob, I'm good?
Speaker 17 (24:43):
How are you, buddy?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
I can't I never heard the connection you had with
a Menda's brothers until today.
Speaker 17 (24:51):
Well, Mark Erragos is a is a good friend, okay,
and a neighbor. And I did a podcast with him
and I think he I thought I was Armenian because
I wear a lot of cologne and I have a
cat back exhausted stem on my BMW, so i'd have
the heart to tell him I'm Italian. So they don't
(25:13):
say anything that you see him. But I said to
him several years ago, I just said, I didn't know
what the Menenda's brothers are still doing rotten in prison.
They don't pose a threat to society. I've always said,
I don't really care about the domestic stuff. It's the
(25:34):
randos who push people onto the subway track or the
homeless people that bonk people over the head with a sledgehammer.
Those are the people I worry about that, you know,
the sort of domestic stuff. They should be punished, but
they're not a threat to society. And I just said,
he's very close with my two twins at eighteen now.
(25:56):
And I just said, Mark, if my daughter walked into
my son's bedroom one day and said, I'm thinking about
blown away, dad, mom of the shotgun? Are you in
and my daughter my son said what day? He said
Sunday And my son said this Sunday or the following Sunday.
(26:19):
We did something bad as a parent when we failed
as a parent.
Speaker 15 (26:23):
Both of us.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Right, I got it.
Speaker 17 (26:25):
I go. When I told that to Mark, it somehow
sparked something like he thought it was funny. But it
also sort of sparked something, and he'll tell that story
in interviews and stuff. But he didn't take it to heed,
and eventually he just started looking into the case. And
here we are today.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You know, I'm carolers with us. I ran into somebody
connected with the case. I don't want to say who,
because I've too many people who are already think I'm
a huge a hole. But I was at Santa Nita
and maybe you could put this together. And one of
the people associated with this case. I ran into him
at Santa Nita and I said, hey, you know, once
these kids get out, what are they going to do?
(27:07):
And he said, I don't know, maybe write a book
or a podcast or something. And I said, I got
a great job for them. He goes, oh, well, you
got a job at KFI. Said no, no, no, not
a KFI. But when a horse does a cartwheel on
the backstretch, they put a tent around them, and they put.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
A they got a shotgun.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
They put a.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Bullet right in that and that horse's head and kill
it and then haul it off to make dog food.
I think these kids would be perfect for that job.
He called me an a hole and walked away.
Speaker 17 (27:37):
Well, you've got to.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Know your room man, garages might not have been the right. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I never said it was garatgo Oh you didn't, Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I just assumed it was.
Speaker 17 (27:46):
They're going to need to do something because initially when
they went in in the very early nineties, they took
as a trade in prison VCR player. That was first
(28:07):
somehow co would make money for keys.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Yeah, their first stop is a blockbuster.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
So adam.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
But I mean, the the whole thing is pretty nasty, right,
The whole scene is pretty nasty, and it's it's hard.
And those who say, you know, these guys should go
away forever and they should never get parole, it's you
take on water quickly trying to argue, no, they're they're
no threat. And even though they went outside reloaded as
(28:40):
the you know, their mom crawls away, they blow her
away again. It's hard to argue, you know, righteously for
their release. You know what I'm saying. It just because
of the nature of things, that's all.
Speaker 17 (28:51):
Yeah, I don't think you can I think what you
can do and maybe we should do this. You go
punishment versus threat to society, So we all go, if
somebody does something heinous, we want them punish. But I
also would like to weigh in threat to society, you know,
(29:15):
and I think the threat to society is about a
zero for them. So that worked for them, and then
you get to the punishment part. And if they've been
incarcerated for more than thirty years, then for me, I've
checked both boxes. Okay, But Adam, they were in prison
for eight years and or pose a threat, I would
(29:38):
think differently.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Okay, let me.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Expand on that just a little bit and make it
a little personal. When Leslie Abramson had that final press
conference after these two were convicted, she said in the
press conference, you can't get a fair trial in this
town because of idiots like Conway and Steckler, because we
used to beat up on the Menendez brothers all the time.
So when these two get out, I'm gonna have to
either move or hire somebody to sit in front of
(30:03):
the yard and let me know when these chaps show up.
Speaker 17 (30:08):
Well, I'm your man, number one. You could benefit from
my latest invention. Conway which is fake Korean on the roof.
You live in a high crime area. I gotta plastic
(30:28):
Korean with a hunting gun that'll fit nicely on your
roof and it really keeps the bad guy in the way.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
But I really do like your angle though of this
will make parents straighten up around their kids.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
If this is going to be legal.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Now it's pretty legal.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah, you gotta, you gotta not your thirty years, is
what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Right, But Adam, you got a good point, you know when,
Like if when my when I was younger, my brother said, Hey,
we're gonna knock mom off, that would have been a
no brainer.
Speaker 17 (31:05):
Yeah. I mean, I maybe it's selfish, but as a
taxpayer at a certain point, I don't want to flip
the bill for people just to die in prison as
a tax payer, like I would like to make room
for one of these guys who's been arrested eighty one
times and took a hammer to someone on the subway
(31:28):
like that.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
Right, that's right, that's.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
My speaking of.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
One of my favorite things to watch online is when
you go into Malibu or Pacific Palisades and you talk
to the guys either the Army Corps of engineers, or
this guy Glenn who is clearing three lots in Malibu. Man,
I can't stop watching those, and I've noticed that the
views on those go through the roof. I love those things.
(31:54):
I hope you do a bunch more of those.
Speaker 17 (31:58):
Oh thanks, Yeah, that's my vow. And it just sort
of happened organically because I was in Malibu and I've
been displaced, and I was just sitting around my shop
on a Friday, and my guy with the video camera said, well,
why don't we just go to your old place and
I'll bring the video camera and we'll just see what
we find. So I just sort of organically did themand
(32:21):
on the street kind of thing we have. How they
have another one dropping this Thursday, and we'll have one
or two dropping a week and we'll keep everyone updated
on the palisades in Malibu. And it's very interesting and
we get access to places that you wouldn't get access to,
and I find it interesting myself, So thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
One of my favorite things is when you were doing
the show where you went in and renovated your house
with a crew that you were mostly friends with. They
were okay at what they did, but you know, they
got the job because you've known them for a long time.
And they cut one of those lamb beams. They cut
the wrong one, and I still remember where I was
watching that thing and how pissed off you got.
Speaker 17 (33:04):
Well, all right, not to bore you with specs, but
you ordered glue lamb beams per foot, right, So if
you had a span at your house, tim that was
fifteen and a half feet, you would order a sixteen
foot glue lamb beam and just cut six inches off.
Speaker 6 (33:21):
That's how it works, right, right.
Speaker 17 (33:23):
So I had like one twenty two footer and one
fourteen footer and I told Gary, yeah, just go cut
me one at thirteen feet, meaning choose the short one
is why are you cutting nine feet off of something
that costs two hundred dollars a foot when you order it?
See my promise is I was. I was never dumb
(33:46):
enough to try to explain things to them that were
soently obvious that I didn't think I had to.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
You know, this is one of the greatest Your look
when they put you on camera and you're looking where
you've been. Wait a minute, is got to be the shorter
when they cut and then you see that not because
it's A.
Speaker 17 (34:04):
It's a it's a you know, it's a six week
lead time and the stuff two hundred bucks.
Speaker 15 (34:09):
A foot, So.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Buddy, what's greater?
Speaker 17 (34:16):
Lucky? He's lucky. I didn't have a shotgun and he
wasn't holding in the ice.
Speaker 6 (34:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I like the way Adam brought buttons it out for us. Yeah, uh,
that's right.
Speaker 17 (34:29):
That's what a p.

Neil Diamond knockoff, and I tried to get her drunk
enough where she was in the audience and I believe
(35:09):
that that was actually Neil Diamond.
Speaker 17 (35:11):
H Yeah, yeah, you know, Kimmel came up with the
greatest Neil Diamond impersonator band name, which would be Neil
Cubic Zirconia.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
That's good.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
