Duke of Sports Eric Sklar reported that Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis L. Ortiz were indicted for allegedly rigging pitches in an MLB betting scheme. Michael Monks discussed the LAPD exceeding its hiring budget due to the number of new recruits. Later, a bizarre pursuit involved a woman who fled in a minivan to Mexico and another suspect who ended up naked after a port-a-potty chase, finishing with a skinny-dip in the ocean. Meanwhile, the Broncos and Patriots are on fire, and nationwide travel chaos continues as the FAA reduces flights to ease stress on air traffic controllers.

I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It is Monday, Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
And tomorrow is Veterans Day.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
We'll remember all the veterans, so I'll probably take off.
I consider myself a veteran, so yeah, yeah, I didn't
really serve, but I respect the guys enough that they
would probably want me to take the day off.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Which branch would you have served in if you would have?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Probably Marines? Yeah, we bet you're ass You want me
to come in there right now. You want a piece
of this right now? Get yeah, boom right, take a
night's stick out, move you around a little bit, and
that booth of yours. But anyway, this is Monday, it's
not yet Veterans Day.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And we have the Duke of Sports. Nice to see him. Man,
your birthday to the Marines. Yeah that's right, two hundred
and fifty years. Yeah, taking dong with them.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
All right, let's get into before we get into the
Major League Baseball story. You and I are big RAMS fans.
A lot of people listening to the station, huge Rams fans.
That was a statement game against these forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Oh yeah, I mean laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, especially with the way the game against the forty
nine ers earlier in the season went, they should have
won that game too. Rams definitely should have won, but
they ended up slipping up and losing in overtime. But
they take care of business forty two to twenty six yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
A little nervous in the beginning of the third quarter
when San Francisco gets the ball marches all the way
down in scores.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
That was a little too tight for me. But man,
that Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Tom Brady, who was the who was doing color yesterday
on the on the broadcast, couldn't compliment him more. No,
he said, this guy is better now than he's ever been,
and he's the top quarterback in the league when it
comes to touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
As the kids say these days.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Tom Brady was glazing Matthew Stafford all game.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Oh is that what the term they use? Glazing? Write
that down? Glazing?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But that was that was a great, great victory. The
Rams look like they're Super Bowl bout. I mean, Matthew
Stafford's playing like an MVP. He's got twenty five touchdowns
and only two interceptions and We're ten games, nine games
into the season.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
He has more touchdown passes this year than he had
all of last year.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Did you know that Yesterday's win for the Rams put
Matthew Stafford's career record at an even five hundred one
fifteen one fifteen and he's got one tie. He's got
one tie on his record.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's wild. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
A lot of those losses came from Detroit. Yes, yes,
his fortunes definitely switched when he came out.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
To La Right, but Gooss not doing bad either. No.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I mean, listen, Detroit's a very well positioned team. They're
well coached. They got a lot of stars. Jared Goff,
the quarterback on Monroe, Saint Brown, they got Sonic and Knuckles,
Jamier Gibbs.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And you know the guy in Montgomery, you know Maddie
who works here as the producer, right, yeah, Dolphins fan. Yeah,
he bet the Dolphins yesterday. Oh guy, score, he's riding
high scored. They beat the Bills. They were minus not
they were plus nine.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Did Miami?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Did you see the Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel after the game, he.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Got another look? Huh?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well no, so the there's a bar down in South
Florida called the Elbow Room. That's a huge Bills bar.
Apparently whenever the Bills come into town. After the game,
there was a video of Mike McDaniel because apparently he
lives in the area, he drove past the bar to
taunt the Bills fans after the It's like, this guy's
been on the hot seat all season because the Dolphins
(03:30):
have sucked. You know, here he is taking a victory
lab first opportunity to do that. Yeah, oh year long.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Okay, let's get into major League baseball. The reason you're here,
this story just keeps giving. Let me play the story,
then we'll talk about it here. But this is an
incredible story coming out of Major League Baseball, and it's
very damning for a couple of pictures coming out of Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Federal prosecutors say two star pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians
betrayed America's pastime. What Emmanuel Clause and Luis Ortiz allegedly
agreed in advance to throw specific types and speeds of
pitches so sports betters could make hundreds of thousands of
dollars by placing wagers on whether the pitch would be
a ball or a strike.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Two right back.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
At In a June twenty twenty three game, Clause, known
as Cleveland's lockdown closer allegedly tipped off a better about
a pitch he intended to throw against the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The betters won fifty eight.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Thousand dollars by wagering it would be a ball under
ninety five miles an hour. An image of the pitch
that ended up low and into the dirt seen here
included in the indictment, struck him out in the middle
of a May twenty twenty five game against the Reds.
The indictment says Clause texted a better, asking if the
better was ready. Better responded, but of course, ten minutes later,
(04:42):
the better won ten thousand dollars by wagering Klase's pitch
would be a ball slower than ninety eight miles per hour.
That pitch was off speed and in the dirt. Prosecutors
say Clause recruited or teased the scheme this year. Before
June start against the Maritors or Tees, allegedly agreed to
throw a ball for his first pitch in the second inning.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
First pitch missing low ball won.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Two weeks later, Ortiz allegedly agreed to throw a ball
in the third inning of the game against the Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's just a little bit outside.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Prosecutors say Ortiz and Classe took a cut of the
winning bets. Major League Baseball put both players on leave
in July. An attorney for Ortiz told us he has
never and would never improperly influence a game. Class's attorney
killing ABC News e Manual is innocent of all charges
and looks forward to clearing his name in court.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Okay, so, how the hell to the do these two
guys not understand with the internet texting and video, they're
going to get caught.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I mean, we just had the scandal in the NBA
with Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, h Terry Rozier getting caught
and the FBI getting involved. The mob was involved in
all of that. These two pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians.
I mean Emmanuel class A, he signed a five year,
twenty million dollar deal with the Guardians a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Finally twenty million a year. No no, no, it's okay, right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But he's making millions of dollars and these bets are
for He's getting like four or five grand.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Off of him.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You know what, I will defend him in this area.
It's hard once you you like, once you know that
action of making a bet and winning, it's hard to stop.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Well, yeah, that's why they call it an addiction. You
can get out of here, the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Who booked this guy? Who booked this guy? But Bellio
drag him out of here? How dare you? But funny enough? Well,
not funny enough.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Today, after all of this came out over the last
couple of days, Major League Baseball announced that they've entered
an agreement with some major sports books where they are
going to limit the amount of money that you can
bet on like these player props. And I thought they
already had that in order. Not apparently not. So they
put the limit at two hundred dollars. Now, oh I see, okay,
(06:52):
So that'll eliminate a lot of this crap, you would think,
But did you see that there's a lot of these
you know, a lot of these big brand names like
esp who sold out and now at ESPN bet. I
believe they just shuttered that they're all shutting them down. Yeah,
you know, they can't stay afloat. There's too many of them. Yeah,
it's I mean, the gambling space right now is the
(07:13):
wild West. It is brands making new in terms of
being federally legal and left up to the states to
determine if they want to legalize it individually or not.
Obviously we don't have it technically legal here in California, right,
But it's it's interesting to see how many more of
these cases are going to pop up because we knew
that in the dark underbellies that this was probably happening
(07:36):
before sports gambling was legalized. Sure, but now that it's
legalized and the government has a take on the action
in terms of taxes and regulation and all of that,
it's it's much easier for the sports books to identify
when these bets are being placed, who's placed, hundred percent,
and they have to all make that information known to
(07:57):
the government.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Right, or they get in trouble. Yeah, big time, big time,
because you know, you can't have on every pitch one
hundred dollars on this pitch, one hundred and fifty on
this one, two hundred on this pitch, fifty eight thousand
on this one, right, big red flag.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, And I mean these bets were literally like, hey,
this pitcher will throw a ball for the first pitch
of the third inning type situation.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Also, big news, Chargers over Pittsburgh, and that place was
filled with Pittsburgh fans that were really quietly a lot
of sad Pittsburgh fans leaving SOFI Stadium last night.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But that's also a real team.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah yeah, I mean the Chargers despite all of their injuries.
I mean, Justin Herbert's a hell of a young talent
as a quarterback. He's been dealing with a lot of
offensive line issues, but he still finds a way to
win them some games.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And the nice thing about the Chargers is I never
have to search the dial for the game.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I always know it's here.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, no, here in Camfine, yep, every Sunday or Monday
or Thursday if they're playing prime time.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
How many times have you watched the Game seven of
the World Series? This definitely at least twice already. Okay,
watch it again over the weekend. I think I'm up
to six or seven times. You're getting close to those
NFC championship numbers from a couple of years ago. I
start from the beginning and just fast forward through the commercials.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I go the whole game. I don't blame it.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I go the whole game, man, And it's unbelievable, every
single piece of luck that Rojas who hit the home
run to tie the game. That was his very first
home run this year off a righty. Yeah, his first
home runs in September nineteenth. And the pitcher Hoffman, I
was gonna be on the Braves. They was traded to
the Braves. But the Braves, you know, the medical report
(09:32):
came back and said, we've got some issues with his
shoulder and his elbow and they didn't want him.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Wow, he wouldn't have been on the mound.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Did you hear about what happened with Hoffman during the
game with the fight, Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when Robleski hit,
he hit Jimenez right. Hoffman comes running out from the
bullpen with the rest of the pitchers, and Hoffman was
talking all this junk to the Dodgers, and the Dodgers
are like, hey, you better not come into this game
if you're talking like that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
He ends up screwing his team into.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The game, gives up the game tying home run to
Miguel Roha.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, the Dodgers were yelling at him. You don't want
a piece of this game. You don't want to end
this game, you don't want any you want to. I
love watching the Toronto fans watching the whole game live
and getting depressed and angry as hell.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I've been there before. I've been there before, and I'll
be there again, buddy.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Thanks for coming in on social media, the Duke of Sports. Yes,
and we got to get you some followers, So follow
the Duke of Sports.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
On social media. Nice to see him. I'm going to
see you too, Tim Eric Slar.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
He's also the producer and born out for the John
Colebelt show, Ding Dong with You and go Rams.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
Yes, sir, all right, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior
on demand from kf I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
We introduced Michael Monks. Everybody, how you both.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I'm greg glad to be with you on this beautiful
Monday in Burbank.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I was coming home from Low sal Or, Yeah, coming
home from losal and heard the show on Saturday. Great
program with the Brady kids. I enjoyed it at that. Yeah,
I didn't do LOSU. It was you know, in like
a stechleicus to say in like a snake out like
a pig.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
What does that mean? Though?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That means you feel like you're the king of the
world as a snake. Everyone's afraid of you, and you're
the top, you know, dog, and then you leave just
like a big fat pig.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Did you lose early and just thought you'd win it back?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I lost early and I chased and I went through
a couple of stop signs. You know, you set up
stop signs at a certain amount and like, Okay, I'm
not going to go past this amount. Well, okay, now
I have to get this money back.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
And I think I've asked you this before, But how
close do you think you are to divorce?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
For me, I'm a million miles away.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You have to ask my wife though I don't know
how oh she's going to tolerate, and especially if I retire.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But let's talk about LAPD. That's a big story going on.
They're either they're over budget or going over budget.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Yeah, it's a little bit like what you were saying
with setting up stop signs.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Right.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
The city puts together a budget every year, and this
was a particularly child lunching budget.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
We spent a lot of time talking about that. Several
months ago.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
They were a billion dollars in the hull needed to
close that, but at the same time, we need more
police officers in Los Angeles. Most people would concede that
as a fact. What they agreed to in the budget
that was crafted was we will have money for two
hundred and forty new police officers. After the budget was adopted,
the mayor came out with a statement that said, we've
(12:23):
closed the budget deficit. We've got some police coming. Nobody
got laid off. Additionally, we're going to hire two hundred
and forty more police officers on top of that, so
total of four hundred and eighty. Wow, if after ninety
days of this message, city Hall finds the money.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
To do so.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
So what has happened is the LAPD has moved forward
with its hiring plan and it's already well over the
two hundred and forty Over four hundred officers are being
brought in by the end of this fiscal year without
that additional funding being found. So they need another three
and a half million dollars on top of the many
(13:01):
millions they need for overtime. In other words, that department
is about twenty seven million dollars over budget already, right,
and the city as a whole is overspending at a
rate of about eighty million dollars at this point in
the fiscal year. So we're going to have another, another
big hole coming, another crisis.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So what's the headline here?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
The headline is the LAPD has hired more officers or
is hiring more officers than it has been budgeted for.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
You you've lived in other cities, do they go through
the crises that we do here in La Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Other cities face financial challenges and police tend to be
the most expensive by far, expenditure for municipalities, more than
half of the budget often and at the same time,
people want more of them because you know, if there's
any type of crime wave that starts to break out,
we need more police. And instead of investigating additional strategies,
(13:57):
where are.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They going to get that money from. Nobody knows.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
Well, the interesting thing is you're right, nobody knows. This
was brought up at a city council budget committee just
last week where the city administrator was giving an update
on the city's financials and by the way, not good,
not good overall, it's really bad, and a few of
the departments were brought in to talk about why they're
(14:20):
over budget, including the fire department, including the city Attorney's office, which.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I guess why.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I mean, what is putting a big hole in the ship.
I think it's lawsuits that they've either settled or lost.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Yes, the city puts together a certain amount of money
expecting to be sued every year, and this is how
much that we will budget.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Last time around last fiscal year.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
That was one of the main corporates was lawsuits, which,
by the way, a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Of these involve the police department. All right, is that right?
That's right?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Okay, so showing the cops the copying sued for the
actions that they have done, and a court of law
or a settlement has determined that the city was in
the wrong. It's amazing, though, how infrequently the City of
La fights these lawsuits in court.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
They just settle with everybody. I think.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
I'm not a lawyer. Maybe we could ask candle, right,
but I think you settle when you think not necessarily
even admitting guilt here, but if we go any further
or to a jury, this will cost us more, not
just in litigating but with the financial outcome. So let's
just settle this now. Occasionally, because they do have to
(15:29):
approve these in public. Sure, occasionally you will hear the
city Council's the city attorney's recommendation is to reject the
settlement offer. But more often than not, it's a we
agree to a million here, two million here, five hundred
thousand here, And that all adds up because it's multiple
days a week at they're announcing these settlements.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And you've been there in City Hall when they go
through those, Oh yeah, yeah, it's just and they vote
on it quickly. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars going
to you know, Gary Hoffman, you'll.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Have nine of them.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
I don't know what Gary, what trouble Gary Hoffin's gotten in,
but he's probably deserve this money.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's exactly. Yeah, it adds up fast every single meeting. Buddy.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Nobody keeps an eye on City Hall and the budgets
like you do, and they all should. All these TV
news stations are very rarely down there. I almost never
see anything.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
This city's in so much trouble financially and by the way,
the financial condition that it's in. You know, we talked
about the convention Center, and this is going to stick
in Microw for a long time. They haven't even taken
out the debt on that yet, and that's going to
be an additional two hundred million dollars a year that
they have to find. They can't find three and a
half million dollars for these new cups. Where are they
going to find two hundred million for the convention center debt?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Okay, that's what pisses off a lot of my conservative
friends because I I'm trying to convince them to vote
for Newsome when you become and push him over the line.
Haven't become president A. He'll bring money back to California.
You're like, we need and b let the nation live
like we have for the.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Last eight years.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Yeah, get a little taste account yes, yes, yes, and
at least we'll still have the beaches.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
But if you make the whole country like California, then
then fewer people come out here.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You think, yes, right, if you give.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Enough benefits and you have you know, you the homeless
can enjoy whatever they want. The homeless come here because
they're tortured in almost every city outside of California. Traffic
could be better, that's right, it could be the best.
So Newsome for president in twenty twenty eight, I could
get behind this dig talk.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I don't know if you saw the pursuit today. I
got the first people that text me or Steve Krieger,
ex La County Fire captain. He's cool, he came out
to the Marongo party. And also David Mosekiin he was second.
So ding dong. First two guys, get a ding dong
(17:49):
that send me the.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Information.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And then I blasted out, you know, Chase on seven,
and I even though I've said this a million times
on there, I guess people don't listen.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I get them.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
But when somebody gets when I text somebody Chase on seven,
the only proper response is either nothing or thanks. It's
not hey, so can we get together sometime? Like ooh,
you've just been taken off that list.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So close.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So these are people that think that you texted just
them when you said Chase.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I guess, so you know, I guess. So I don't
text a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I only text the group that I grew up with
because they watched these stupid things. And then the Burbank
dads that I was that I'm close to through my
daughter's friends dads. There's a group of like five of us,
and so I just bang those two out and occasionally
most seeking and me sock. But I don't get the
(18:56):
whole list going. Again, I'm just too tired.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Plus Krozer, I don't know what it is about chases there?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Who cares anymore? You know?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I mean, there are so many of them, and so
many of them and uneventfully that I don't remember. Believe
I stopped watching this one. I walked away from it. Really, Yeah,
I think the first chase I just watched. I just
did something else. You're talking about the minivan. Yeah, the
minivan went to Mexico from Thousand Oaks or the San
Fernanno Valley to Mexico.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I had my eye on it while I was doing
some other work, and not even thirty seconds went by
and it was done. And I never saw, like I
heard that she made it into Mexico, went through the
went through the border or something, but I didn't see it,
and they didn't replay it at all. And I'm like,
what so that you're seeing overhead shots from the helicopters.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Of of the border and cars just going in and out.
I'm like, what is this?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
You know, I guess there was a precedent set years
ago when there was a chase that went to the
border and either the Highway Patrol or some other you know,
state patrol went into Mexico chasing these and they arrested
the cops and they kept the equipment, they kept the cars,
and then it took a week or two to get
the cops back.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, so they don't do that anymore because they'd learned that.
But the pursuit started right here in the San Fernando Valley,
probably within eyeshot or earshot of where we're sitting right now,
and went all the way to Mexico.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Female driver of a minivan led the chp on an
hour's long pursuit that ended when the van was able
to enter Mexico.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
How about that a woman drives all the way to
Mexico without stopping for magazines or drink or mote or
to hang out with a friend or get her hair done.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
All the way to Mexico.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
The van was reported stolen from Thousand Oaks around ten
thirty this morning. Police in more Park then spotted it
and attempted a traffic stop. The driver fled, weaving from
the one to eighteen to the four or five to
the five freeway, avoiding spike strips once in ocean side
as it continued to head south. At around one thirty,
the drive I've reached the border and CHP canceled the pursuit.
(21:03):
There are reports the driver was suffering a mental health crisis.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I guess so, I guess so. But there was another pursuit.
A suspected carjacker a truck hauling porta potties. Porta potties
runs into the ocean completely naked.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's the new thing.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
People are taking off all their clothes and banging on
doors and stealing cars.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
He's got to get used to it. That's where we are.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
A suspect's wild ride started with stolen porta potties and
ended with him skinny dipping in the Pacific Ocean. Wow,
where shall we begin?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah? Where shall we begin?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well?
Speaker 9 (21:40):
According to KSECBS, police in Los Angeles say, the suspect,
who hasn't been identified, allegedly carjacked a truck hauling portable
toilets while simulating holding a weapon in downtown Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
There's a good idea, steal toilets and pretend that you
have a weapon on you and the cops will lay off.
Let's find out how this ends.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
The manner reportedly took off on the Pacific Ghost Highway,
where he was followed by California Highway Patrol units.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
It's tough to get away.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Look, if you're on a motorcycle and it's night, you
can go into downtown LA and slide into a parking lot.
Maybe you got a you know, fifteen twenty percent shot
of getting away by the middle of the day. When
you're stealing a car with nineteen porta potties behind it,
a big truck with porta potties, very very difficult to
get away from the cops.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
The chase came to an end when authorities say the
vehicle crashed in Malibu near Big Rock Beach. That's when
the suspect reportedly made an unusual getaway, stripping naked and
running onto some rocks in the ocean. That's where he
sat until authorities armed with a towel went to arrest him.
Cops reportedly said.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They did not find a weapon on the man.
Speaker 9 (22:51):
Who was taken away in an ambulance. No injuries were
reported during the unusual incident.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, he had. He was in the ocean for about
ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I got four infections and begged the cops to arrest him,
begged him to get him the hell out of there.
All right, Well, that's the craziness. That's Los Angeles. We
are numb, too. Crazy out in Los Angeles numb. We
see it every day. We experience crazy homeless people every day,
crazy drivers every day, crazy neighbors, crazy workers, crazy employees.
(23:25):
It's crazy Ville. It seems like a lot of people
are crazy. In the San Fernano Valley. It's double that.
I see crazies every day every day. You run into
crazy people. When I was a kid, you'd run into
one crazy guy. I don't know, maybe twice or three
times a year. Now everywhere you go, Ah, crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That guy's crazy. I bet that guy. Yeah, look at
him over there, he looks crazy. He's crazy.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I know a lot of people don't like that term,
but it's an old school term and I think we
should bring it back.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
He's cheese crazy, he's crazy. Nobody's questioning when you use
those words. Yeah, what do you mean crazy? That's what
they are. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Hey, By the way, I didn't follow football that closely yesterday.
How did your Cowboys do?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
They are yeah, dig dong with those Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What about you, belly? Oh the Broncos beat I believe
the Raiders. Was that the last time they played?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I think it was I think it was Thursday.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
They're on fire. You know who else is on fire?
New England? Well, the Dolphins are, you know, it's a
tiny fire that'll be put out next week. But the
New England Patriots are on fire. They do not lose,
and which which is so great because it really shows
what a fraud Belichick was where he was. You know,
(24:51):
Tom Brady got him all those championships that when Tom
wasn't around, that team went in the toilet, and then
now they got a good coach and now they're back.
That guy is a fraud, that Belichick. He is an
absolute fraud. And I can't believe more people don't talk
about that, about how inepty is that he goes to
North Carolina, that's stunk with his twenty two year old girlfriend.
(25:15):
He is the worst He's gotten by on nothing but
a reputation of being an a hole, and he's the
worst coach.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It sounds like you're really upset about the fact that
he was not that good of a coach when when
he was the Browns coach.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Well, he wasn't a good coach when he was with
the Browns. He wasn't a good coach when he was
with the Patriots until Tom Brady came along. Oh, then
he was a great coach. But it was all Tom
Bradley looked like it was all Tom Brady. Everything was
Tom Brady on that team. And Tom Brady is classy
enough not to say it, but he should write a
book on how this Belichick is a total fraud. All right, Well,
(25:48):
there's my sports section, just trying to make friends.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Air traffic delays. Hopefully it's going to get better now
that they've preliminarily voted to end this shutdown. Maybe maybe,
but let's find out because we have Thanksgiving coming up
and this is a big deal for a lot of family.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
Yesterday was the single worst day for travelers since the
shutdown began. It was the worst weekend for travelers since
the shutdown began. Today is going to have its own
share of headaches, or the FAA reduced those flights in
an effort to reduce the burden on controllers. It appears, though,
that the burden of working without pay for forty days
and countings maybe reaching a breaking point.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
A delayed and frustrating weekend for flyers more than twenty
five thousand delays and over fifty five hundred cancelations, and
that's after the FAA ordered airlines to cut flights at
forty of the nation's busiest airports to take pressure off
the system.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Our best case scenario is that we'll be able to
leave here in two hours.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh god. Oh it's sitting on that plane when you
hear that, right.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Is that we'll be able to leave here in two hours?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh god almighty.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
But it's only an hour flight to Vegas and we're
gonna sit down the tarmac for two hours.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Much of the issue due to a surge in air
traffic controller sick calls, hitting a shutdown high of at
least eighty one staffing short falls at FAA facilities Saturday,
according to the Transportation Secretary, with more on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We're delayed right off the get go. We hadn't even
left for the airport yet. So then we missed our
connecting flight in Minneapolis.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
In Atlanta, the world's busiest.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
About to sit next to her cross country, We're delayed
right off airport. Yeah, get some rest.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Here, if you could just give me second here, I'm
just trying to get some breast.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
We hadn't even left for the airport yet. Do you
want to send next to the window.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
I'm jumping out of the window here right off the
get go okay.
Speaker 11 (27:57):
Land or Apple in Atlanta, the world's busiest airports on
nearly five hundred cancelations Sunday, after just four of the
twenty two air traffic controllers scheduled.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You know what it's also it's always a weird thing, BELLYO.
You travel a lot, so you probably know this better
than anybody. It's always a weird thing when you get
on a plane. There's a weird dance you do where
you want to be kind to the person next to
you so they know you're kind and they know you
are no trouble and you know they are and you
want you want no trouble. Right, But there's a really
(28:32):
fine line there between we're going to talk all the
way to Denver as a stranger or we're just gonna
shut down.
Speaker 12 (28:40):
I had to put a stop to the kit chat
exact right.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I had to wow because John wouldn't stop. It's exactly right.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
No, when I travel solo to go home to Denver,
because you know, first of all, it hurts my neck because.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
People keep talking and you're turning, you know, to the
left of your right.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
So I have to put airport like immediately, okay, and
they get the.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
They get to shuffle off the buffalo. A friend of
mine who flies back and forth to Boston a lot
for work. He has a pretty good theory and a
pretty good move. He tells his seat mate, whoever sitting
next to him, a radically inappropriate joke.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Oh see, now I wouldn't like that.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Radically, I mean just off the charts, you know, like
to the point where you'll want to move away from
this guy. And he said, one of two things happens.
Either A he never the guy next to you never
says another word until he gets to New York, or
b he has about nine hundred of those jokes that
(29:48):
he can lay on you as well.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You think that was bad? How about yes? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And then it's a yuckfest drinking and laughing all the
way to New York. But it's not a bad way
to go. You do take chances, though, you do take chances.
I also like to see a priest or a nun
on the flight. I think that's comforting.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
What do you do when someone strikes up a conversation
with you? They don't really.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Often, you know, I will engage, I guess you know.
There was Oh here's a per example. My daughter and
I were flying back from Portland. She was only about
twelve or thirteen at the time, and her stupid dad
I didn't make reservations till late. So we were sitting
in the aisle. I was in the aisle seat, and
(30:35):
so was she. She was in the aisle across from me,
so you know, she was in fourteen A or fourteen B.
I was in fourteen C or whatever it was. We're
both in the aisle, so we weren't sitting next to
each other, but I was sitting across the aisle from her.
And then the guy next to me said, oh, is
that your daughter? I said yeah, and he goes, oh, no,
I'll have her sit here, and he moves seats. So
(30:56):
now I'm sitting next to my daughter. But now that
guy's in the aisle, I'm in the aisle and he
wants to talk. And the whole two hours back to Burbank.
He was talking across the aisle in a in a
voice of right around this level, right around this level,
for two hours, and I had to engage because he
(31:20):
was kind to my daughter. I couldn't shut him down.
I had I had to hook up with him. But
he was telling me radical stories, naming celebrities names, and
also how much cocaine he did with them.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
So that was kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
I was going to say it probably started out interesting.
Oh yeah, sort of drag honor. It's like, oh, who's next.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, it was pretty good. It was pretty good.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Some solid A listers on coke and and different, you know,
sexual experiences they had with others.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Because that's what the coke les. Yeah, he opened up
opened them up.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
But anyway, so we have air traffic delays and we
also have we know we have type of this, but
we we also of air traffic school. You can actually
go become one of the most important people in America.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We'll do that before the end of the program.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
It is Monday, Monday.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
And tomorrow is Veterans Day.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
We'll remember all the veterans, so I'll probably take off.
I consider myself a veteran, so yeah, yeah, I didn't
really serve, but I respect the guys enough that they
would probably want me to take the day off.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Which branch would you have served in if you would have?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Probably Marines? Yeah, we bet you're ass You want me
to come in there right now. You want a piece
of this right now? Get yeah, boom right, take a
night's stick out, move you around a little bit, and
that booth of yours. But anyway, this is Monday, it's
not yet Veterans Day.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And we have the Duke of Sports. Nice to see him. Man,
your birthday to the Marines. Yeah that's right, two hundred
and fifty years. Yeah, taking dong with them.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
All right, let's get into before we get into the
Major League Baseball story. You and I are big RAMS fans.
A lot of people listening to the station, huge Rams fans.
That was a statement game against these forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Oh yeah, I mean laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, especially with the way the game against the forty
nine ers earlier in the season went, they should have
won that game too. Rams definitely should have won, but
they ended up slipping up and losing in overtime. But
they take care of business forty two to twenty six yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
A little nervous in the beginning of the third quarter
when San Francisco gets the ball marches all the way
down in scores.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
That was a little too tight for me. But man,
that Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Tom Brady, who was the who was doing color yesterday
on the on the broadcast, couldn't compliment him more. No,
he said, this guy is better now than he's ever been,
and he's the top quarterback in the league when it
comes to touchdowns.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
As the kids say these days.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Tom Brady was glazing Matthew Stafford all game.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Oh is that what the term they use? Glazing? Write
that down? Glazing?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
But that was that was a great, great victory. The
Rams look like they're Super Bowl bout. I mean, Matthew
Stafford's playing like an MVP. He's got twenty five touchdowns
and only two interceptions and We're ten games, nine games
into the season.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
He has more touchdown passes this year than he had
all of last year.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Did you know that Yesterday's win for the Rams put
Matthew Stafford's career record at an even five hundred one
fifteen one fifteen and he's got one tie. He's got
one tie on his record.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's wild. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
A lot of those losses came from Detroit. Yes, yes,
his fortunes definitely switched when he came out.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
To La Right, but Gooss not doing bad either. No.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I mean, listen, Detroit's a very well positioned team. They're
well coached. They got a lot of stars. Jared Goff,
the quarterback on Monroe, Saint Brown, they got Sonic and Knuckles,
Jamier Gibbs.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And you know the guy in Montgomery, you know Maddie
who works here as the producer, right, yeah, Dolphins fan. Yeah,
he bet the Dolphins yesterday. Oh guy, score, he's riding
high scored. They beat the Bills. They were minus not
they were plus nine.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Did Miami?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Did you see the Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel after the game, he.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Got another look? Huh?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well no, so the there's a bar down in South
Florida called the Elbow Room. That's a huge Bills bar.
Apparently whenever the Bills come into town. After the game,
there was a video of Mike McDaniel because apparently he
lives in the area, he drove past the bar to
taunt the Bills fans after the It's like, this guy's
been on the hot seat all season because the Dolphins
(03:30):
have sucked. You know, here he is taking a victory
lab first opportunity to do that. Yeah, oh year long.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Okay, let's get into major League baseball. The reason you're here,
this story just keeps giving. Let me play the story,
then we'll talk about it here. But this is an
incredible story coming out of Major League Baseball, and it's
very damning for a couple of pictures coming out of Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Federal prosecutors say two star pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians
betrayed America's pastime. What Emmanuel Clause and Luis Ortiz allegedly
agreed in advance to throw specific types and speeds of
pitches so sports betters could make hundreds of thousands of
dollars by placing wagers on whether the pitch would be
a ball or a strike.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Two right back.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
At In a June twenty twenty three game, Clause, known
as Cleveland's lockdown closer allegedly tipped off a better about
a pitch he intended to throw against the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The betters won fifty eight.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Thousand dollars by wagering it would be a ball under
ninety five miles an hour. An image of the pitch
that ended up low and into the dirt seen here
included in the indictment, struck him out in the middle
of a May twenty twenty five game against the Reds.
The indictment says Clause texted a better, asking if the
better was ready. Better responded, but of course, ten minutes later,
(04:42):
the better won ten thousand dollars by wagering Klase's pitch
would be a ball slower than ninety eight miles per hour.
That pitch was off speed and in the dirt. Prosecutors
say Clause recruited or teased the scheme this year. Before
June start against the Maritors or Tees, allegedly agreed to
throw a ball for his first pitch in the second inning.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
First pitch missing low ball won.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Two weeks later, Ortiz allegedly agreed to throw a ball
in the third inning of the game against the Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's just a little bit outside.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Prosecutors say Ortiz and Classe took a cut of the
winning bets. Major League Baseball put both players on leave
in July. An attorney for Ortiz told us he has
never and would never improperly influence a game. Class's attorney
killing ABC News e Manual is innocent of all charges
and looks forward to clearing his name in court.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Okay, so, how the hell to the do these two
guys not understand with the internet texting and video, they're
going to get caught.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I mean, we just had the scandal in the NBA
with Chauncey Billups, Damon Jones, h Terry Rozier getting caught
and the FBI getting involved. The mob was involved in
all of that. These two pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians.
I mean Emmanuel class A, he signed a five year,
twenty million dollar deal with the Guardians a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Finally twenty million a year. No no, no, it's okay, right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But he's making millions of dollars and these bets are
for He's getting like four or five grand.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Off of him.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
You know what, I will defend him in this area.
It's hard once you you like, once you know that
action of making a bet and winning, it's hard to stop.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Well, yeah, that's why they call it an addiction. You
can get out of here, the hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Who booked this guy? Who booked this guy? But Bellio
drag him out of here? How dare you? But funny enough? Well,
not funny enough.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Today, after all of this came out over the last
couple of days, Major League Baseball announced that they've entered
an agreement with some major sports books where they are
going to limit the amount of money that you can
bet on like these player props. And I thought they
already had that in order. Not apparently not. So they
put the limit at two hundred dollars. Now, oh I see, okay,
(06:52):
So that'll eliminate a lot of this crap, you would think,
But did you see that there's a lot of these
you know, a lot of these big brand names like
esp who sold out and now at ESPN bet. I
believe they just shuttered that they're all shutting them down. Yeah,
you know, they can't stay afloat. There's too many of them. Yeah,
it's I mean, the gambling space right now is the
(07:13):
wild West. It is brands making new in terms of
being federally legal and left up to the states to
determine if they want to legalize it individually or not.
Obviously we don't have it technically legal here in California, right,
But it's it's interesting to see how many more of
these cases are going to pop up because we knew
that in the dark underbellies that this was probably happening
(07:36):
before sports gambling was legalized. Sure, but now that it's
legalized and the government has a take on the action
in terms of taxes and regulation and all of that,
it's it's much easier for the sports books to identify
when these bets are being placed, who's placed, hundred percent,
and they have to all make that information known to
(07:57):
the government.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Right, or they get in trouble. Yeah, big time, big time,
because you know, you can't have on every pitch one
hundred dollars on this pitch, one hundred and fifty on
this one, two hundred on this pitch, fifty eight thousand
on this one, right, big red flag.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, And I mean these bets were literally like, hey,
this pitcher will throw a ball for the first pitch
of the third inning type situation.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Also, big news, Chargers over Pittsburgh, and that place was
filled with Pittsburgh fans that were really quietly a lot
of sad Pittsburgh fans leaving SOFI Stadium last night.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But that's also a real team.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah yeah, I mean the Chargers despite all of their injuries.
I mean, Justin Herbert's a hell of a young talent
as a quarterback. He's been dealing with a lot of
offensive line issues, but he still finds a way to
win them some games.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And the nice thing about the Chargers is I never
have to search the dial for the game.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I always know it's here.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, no, here in Camfine, yep, every Sunday or Monday
or Thursday if they're playing prime time.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
How many times have you watched the Game seven of
the World Series? This definitely at least twice already. Okay,
watch it again over the weekend. I think I'm up
to six or seven times. You're getting close to those
NFC championship numbers from a couple of years ago. I
start from the beginning and just fast forward through the commercials.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
I go the whole game. I don't blame it.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I go the whole game, man, And it's unbelievable, every
single piece of luck that Rojas who hit the home
run to tie the game. That was his very first
home run this year off a righty. Yeah, his first
home runs in September nineteenth. And the pitcher Hoffman, I
was gonna be on the Braves. They was traded to
the Braves. But the Braves, you know, the medical report
(09:32):
came back and said, we've got some issues with his
shoulder and his elbow and they didn't want him.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Wow, he wouldn't have been on the mound.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Did you hear about what happened with Hoffman during the
game with the fight, Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when Robleski hit,
he hit Jimenez right. Hoffman comes running out from the
bullpen with the rest of the pitchers, and Hoffman was
talking all this junk to the Dodgers, and the Dodgers
are like, hey, you better not come into this game
if you're talking like that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
He ends up screwing his team into.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The game, gives up the game tying home run to
Miguel Roha.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, the Dodgers were yelling at him. You don't want
a piece of this game. You don't want to end
this game, you don't want any you want to. I
love watching the Toronto fans watching the whole game live
and getting depressed and angry as hell.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I've been there before. I've been there before, and I'll
be there again, buddy.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Thanks for coming in on social media, the Duke of Sports. Yes,
and we got to get you some followers, So follow
the Duke of Sports.
Speaker 1 (10:26):

He's also the producer and born out for the John
Colebelt show, Ding Dong with You and go Rams.

We introduced Michael Monks. Everybody, how you both.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I'm greg glad to be with you on this beautiful
Monday in Burbank.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I was coming home from Low sal Or, Yeah, coming
home from losal and heard the show on Saturday. Great
program with the Brady kids. I enjoyed it at that. Yeah,
I didn't do LOSU. It was you know, in like
a stechleicus to say in like a snake out like
a pig.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
What does that mean? Though?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That means you feel like you're the king of the
world as a snake. Everyone's afraid of you, and you're
the top, you know, dog, and then you leave just
like a big fat pig.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Did you lose early and just thought you'd win it back?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I lost early and I chased and I went through
a couple of stop signs. You know, you set up
stop signs at a certain amount and like, Okay, I'm
not going to go past this amount. Well, okay, now
I have to get this money back.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
And I think I've asked you this before, But how
close do you think you are to divorce?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
For me, I'm a million miles away.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
You have to ask my wife though I don't know
how oh she's going to tolerate, and especially if I retire.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But let's talk about LAPD. That's a big story going on.
They're either they're over budget or going over budget.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Yeah, it's a little bit like what you were saying
with setting up stop signs.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Right.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
The city puts together a budget every year, and this
was a particularly child lunching budget.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
We spent a lot of time talking about that. Several
months ago.
Speaker 7 (12:02):
They were a billion dollars in the hull needed to
close that, but at the same time, we need more
police officers in Los Angeles. Most people would concede that
as a fact. What they agreed to in the budget
that was crafted was we will have money for two
hundred and forty new police officers. After the budget was adopted,
the mayor came out with a statement that said, we've
(12:23):
closed the budget deficit. We've got some police coming. Nobody
got laid off. Additionally, we're going to hire two hundred
and forty more police officers on top of that, so
total of four hundred and eighty. Wow, if after ninety
days of this message, city Hall finds the money.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
To do so.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
So what has happened is the LAPD has moved forward
with its hiring plan and it's already well over the
two hundred and forty Over four hundred officers are being
brought in by the end of this fiscal year without
that additional funding being found. So they need another three
and a half million dollars on top of the many
(13:01):
millions they need for overtime. In other words, that department
is about twenty seven million dollars over budget already, right,
and the city as a whole is overspending at a
rate of about eighty million dollars at this point in
the fiscal year. So we're going to have another, another
big hole coming, another crisis.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
So what's the headline here?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
The headline is the LAPD has hired more officers or
is hiring more officers than it has been budgeted for.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
You you've lived in other cities, do they go through
the crises that we do here in La Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Other cities face financial challenges and police tend to be
the most expensive by far, expenditure for municipalities, more than
half of the budget often and at the same time,
people want more of them because you know, if there's
any type of crime wave that starts to break out,
we need more police. And instead of investigating additional strategies,
(13:57):
where are.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
They going to get that money from. Nobody knows.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
Well, the interesting thing is you're right, nobody knows. This
was brought up at a city council budget committee just
last week where the city administrator was giving an update
on the city's financials and by the way, not good,
not good overall, it's really bad, and a few of
the departments were brought in to talk about why they're
(14:20):
over budget, including the fire department, including the city Attorney's office, which.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I guess why.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
I mean, what is putting a big hole in the ship.
I think it's lawsuits that they've either settled or lost.
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Yes, the city puts together a certain amount of money
expecting to be sued every year, and this is how
much that we will budget.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Last time around last fiscal year.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
That was one of the main corporates was lawsuits, which,
by the way, a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Of these involve the police department. All right, is that right?
That's right?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Okay, so showing the cops the copying sued for the
actions that they have done, and a court of law
or a settlement has determined that the city was in
the wrong. It's amazing, though, how infrequently the City of
La fights these lawsuits in court.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
They just settle with everybody. I think.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
I'm not a lawyer. Maybe we could ask candle, right,
but I think you settle when you think not necessarily
even admitting guilt here, but if we go any further
or to a jury, this will cost us more, not
just in litigating but with the financial outcome. So let's
just settle this now. Occasionally, because they do have to
(15:29):
approve these in public. Sure, occasionally you will hear the
city Council's the city attorney's recommendation is to reject the
settlement offer. But more often than not, it's a we
agree to a million here, two million here, five hundred
thousand here, And that all adds up because it's multiple
days a week at they're announcing these settlements.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
And you've been there in City Hall when they go
through those, Oh yeah, yeah, it's just and they vote
on it quickly. One hundred and twenty thousand dollars going
to you know, Gary Hoffman, you'll.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Have nine of them.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
I don't know what Gary, what trouble Gary Hoffin's gotten in,
but he's probably deserve this money.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's exactly. Yeah, it adds up fast every single meeting. Buddy.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Nobody keeps an eye on City Hall and the budgets
like you do, and they all should. All these TV
news stations are very rarely down there. I almost never
see anything.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
This city's in so much trouble financially and by the way,
the financial condition that it's in. You know, we talked
about the convention Center, and this is going to stick
in Microw for a long time. They haven't even taken
out the debt on that yet, and that's going to
be an additional two hundred million dollars a year that
they have to find. They can't find three and a
half million dollars for these new cups. Where are they
going to find two hundred million for the convention center debt?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Okay, that's what pisses off a lot of my conservative
friends because I I'm trying to convince them to vote
for Newsome when you become and push him over the line.
Haven't become president A. He'll bring money back to California.
You're like, we need and b let the nation live
like we have for the.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Last eight years.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Yeah, get a little taste account yes, yes, yes, and
at least we'll still have the beaches.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
But if you make the whole country like California, then
then fewer people come out here.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You think, yes, right, if you give.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Enough benefits and you have you know, you the homeless
can enjoy whatever they want. The homeless come here because
they're tortured in almost every city outside of California. Traffic
could be better, that's right, it could be the best.
So Newsome for president in twenty twenty eight, I could
get behind this dig talk.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I don't know if you saw the pursuit today. I
got the first people that text me or Steve Krieger,
ex La County Fire captain. He's cool, he came out
to the Marongo party. And also David Mosekiin he was second.
So ding dong. First two guys, get a ding dong
(17:49):
that send me the.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Information.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
And then I blasted out, you know, Chase on seven,
and I even though I've said this a million times
on there, I guess people don't listen.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I get them.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
But when somebody gets when I text somebody Chase on seven,
the only proper response is either nothing or thanks. It's
not hey, so can we get together sometime? Like ooh,
you've just been taken off that list.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So close.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So these are people that think that you texted just
them when you said Chase.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I guess, so you know, I guess. So I don't
text a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
I only text the group that I grew up with
because they watched these stupid things. And then the Burbank
dads that I was that I'm close to through my
daughter's friends dads. There's a group of like five of us,
and so I just bang those two out and occasionally
most seeking and me sock. But I don't get the
(18:56):
whole list going. Again, I'm just too tired.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Plus Krozer, I don't know what it is about chases there?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Who cares anymore? You know?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
I mean, there are so many of them, and so
many of them and uneventfully that I don't remember. Believe
I stopped watching this one. I walked away from it. Really, Yeah,
I think the first chase I just watched. I just
did something else. You're talking about the minivan. Yeah, the
minivan went to Mexico from Thousand Oaks or the San
Fernanno Valley to Mexico.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I had my eye on it while I was doing
some other work, and not even thirty seconds went by
and it was done. And I never saw, like I
heard that she made it into Mexico, went through the
went through the border or something, but I didn't see it,
and they didn't replay it at all. And I'm like,
what so that you're seeing overhead shots from the helicopters.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Of of the border and cars just going in and out.
I'm like, what is this?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
You know, I guess there was a precedent set years
ago when there was a chase that went to the
border and either the Highway Patrol or some other you know,
state patrol went into Mexico chasing these and they arrested
the cops and they kept the equipment, they kept the cars,
and then it took a week or two to get
the cops back.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah, so they don't do that anymore because they'd learned that.
But the pursuit started right here in the San Fernando Valley,
probably within eyeshot or earshot of where we're sitting right now,
and went all the way to Mexico.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Female driver of a minivan led the chp on an
hour's long pursuit that ended when the van was able
to enter Mexico.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
How about that a woman drives all the way to
Mexico without stopping for magazines or drink or mote or
to hang out with a friend or get her hair done.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
All the way to Mexico.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
The van was reported stolen from Thousand Oaks around ten
thirty this morning. Police in more Park then spotted it
and attempted a traffic stop. The driver fled, weaving from
the one to eighteen to the four or five to
the five freeway, avoiding spike strips once in ocean side
as it continued to head south. At around one thirty,
the drive I've reached the border and CHP canceled the pursuit.
(21:03):
There are reports the driver was suffering a mental health crisis.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I guess so, I guess so. But there was another pursuit.
A suspected carjacker a truck hauling porta potties. Porta potties
runs into the ocean completely naked.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's the new thing.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
People are taking off all their clothes and banging on
doors and stealing cars.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
He's got to get used to it. That's where we are.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
A suspect's wild ride started with stolen porta potties and
ended with him skinny dipping in the Pacific Ocean. Wow,
where shall we begin?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah? Where shall we begin?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well?
Speaker 9 (21:40):
According to KSECBS, police in Los Angeles say, the suspect,
who hasn't been identified, allegedly carjacked a truck hauling portable
toilets while simulating holding a weapon in downtown Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
There's a good idea, steal toilets and pretend that you
have a weapon on you and the cops will lay off.
Let's find out how this ends.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
The manner reportedly took off on the Pacific Ghost Highway,
where he was followed by California Highway Patrol units.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
It's tough to get away.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Look, if you're on a motorcycle and it's night, you
can go into downtown LA and slide into a parking lot.
Maybe you got a you know, fifteen twenty percent shot
of getting away by the middle of the day. When
you're stealing a car with nineteen porta potties behind it,
a big truck with porta potties, very very difficult to
get away from the cops.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
The chase came to an end when authorities say the
vehicle crashed in Malibu near Big Rock Beach. That's when
the suspect reportedly made an unusual getaway, stripping naked and
running onto some rocks in the ocean. That's where he
sat until authorities armed with a towel went to arrest him.
Cops reportedly said.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
They did not find a weapon on the man.
Speaker 9 (22:51):
Who was taken away in an ambulance. No injuries were
reported during the unusual incident.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, he had. He was in the ocean for about
ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I got four infections and begged the cops to arrest him,
begged him to get him the hell out of there.
All right, Well, that's the craziness. That's Los Angeles. We
are numb, too. Crazy out in Los Angeles numb. We
see it every day. We experience crazy homeless people every day,
crazy drivers every day, crazy neighbors, crazy workers, crazy employees.
(23:25):
It's crazy Ville. It seems like a lot of people
are crazy. In the San Fernano Valley. It's double that.
I see crazies every day every day. You run into
crazy people. When I was a kid, you'd run into
one crazy guy. I don't know, maybe twice or three
times a year. Now everywhere you go, Ah, crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That guy's crazy. I bet that guy. Yeah, look at
him over there, he looks crazy. He's crazy.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
I know a lot of people don't like that term,
but it's an old school term and I think we
should bring it back.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
He's cheese crazy, he's crazy. Nobody's questioning when you use
those words. Yeah, what do you mean crazy? That's what
they are. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Hey, By the way, I didn't follow football that closely yesterday.
How did your Cowboys do?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
They are yeah, dig dong with those Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What about you, belly? Oh the Broncos beat I believe
the Raiders. Was that the last time they played?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I think it was I think it was Thursday.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
They're on fire. You know who else is on fire?
New England? Well, the Dolphins are, you know, it's a
tiny fire that'll be put out next week. But the
New England Patriots are on fire. They do not lose,
and which which is so great because it really shows
what a fraud Belichick was where he was. You know,
(24:51):
Tom Brady got him all those championships that when Tom
wasn't around, that team went in the toilet, and then
now they got a good coach and now they're back.
That guy is a fraud, that Belichick. He is an
absolute fraud. And I can't believe more people don't talk
about that, about how inepty is that he goes to
North Carolina, that's stunk with his twenty two year old girlfriend.
(25:15):
He is the worst He's gotten by on nothing but
a reputation of being an a hole, and he's the
worst coach.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
It sounds like you're really upset about the fact that
he was not that good of a coach when when
he was the Browns coach.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Well, he wasn't a good coach when he was with
the Browns. He wasn't a good coach when he was
with the Patriots until Tom Brady came along. Oh, then
he was a great coach. But it was all Tom
Bradley looked like it was all Tom Brady. Everything was
Tom Brady on that team. And Tom Brady is classy
enough not to say it, but he should write a
book on how this Belichick is a total fraud. All right, Well,
(25:48):
there's my sports section, just trying to make friends.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Air traffic delays. Hopefully it's going to get better now
that they've preliminarily voted to end this shutdown. Maybe maybe,
but let's find out because we have Thanksgiving coming up
and this is a big deal for a lot of family.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
Yesterday was the single worst day for travelers since the
shutdown began. It was the worst weekend for travelers since
the shutdown began. Today is going to have its own
share of headaches, or the FAA reduced those flights in
an effort to reduce the burden on controllers. It appears, though,
that the burden of working without pay for forty days
and countings maybe reaching a breaking point.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
A delayed and frustrating weekend for flyers more than twenty
five thousand delays and over fifty five hundred cancelations, and
that's after the FAA ordered airlines to cut flights at
forty of the nation's busiest airports to take pressure off
the system.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Our best case scenario is that we'll be able to
leave here in two hours.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh god. Oh it's sitting on that plane when you
hear that, right.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Is that we'll be able to leave here in two hours?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh god almighty.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
But it's only an hour flight to Vegas and we're
gonna sit down the tarmac for two hours.
Speaker 11 (27:19):
Much of the issue due to a surge in air
traffic controller sick calls, hitting a shutdown high of at
least eighty one staffing short falls at FAA facilities Saturday,
according to the Transportation Secretary, with more on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We're delayed right off the get go. We hadn't even
left for the airport yet. So then we missed our
connecting flight in Minneapolis.
Speaker 11 (27:37):
In Atlanta, the world's busiest.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
About to sit next to her cross country, We're delayed
right off airport. Yeah, get some rest.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Here, if you could just give me second here, I'm
just trying to get some breast.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
We hadn't even left for the airport yet. Do you
want to send next to the window.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
I'm jumping out of the window here right off the
get go okay.
Speaker 11 (27:57):
Land or Apple in Atlanta, the world's busiest airports on
nearly five hundred cancelations Sunday, after just four of the
twenty two air traffic controllers scheduled.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You know what it's also it's always a weird thing, BELLYO.
You travel a lot, so you probably know this better
than anybody. It's always a weird thing when you get
on a plane. There's a weird dance you do where
you want to be kind to the person next to
you so they know you're kind and they know you
are no trouble and you know they are and you
want you want no trouble. Right, But there's a really
(28:32):
fine line there between we're going to talk all the
way to Denver as a stranger or we're just gonna
shut down.
Speaker 12 (28:40):
I had to put a stop to the kit chat
exact right.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I had to wow because John wouldn't stop. It's exactly right.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
No, when I travel solo to go home to Denver,
because you know, first of all, it hurts my neck because.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
People keep talking and you're turning, you know, to the
left of your right.
Speaker 12 (28:58):
So I have to put airport like immediately, okay, and
they get the.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
They get to shuffle off the buffalo. A friend of
mine who flies back and forth to Boston a lot
for work. He has a pretty good theory and a
pretty good move. He tells his seat mate, whoever sitting
next to him, a radically inappropriate joke.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Oh see, now I wouldn't like that.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Radically, I mean just off the charts, you know, like
to the point where you'll want to move away from
this guy. And he said, one of two things happens.
Either A he never the guy next to you never
says another word until he gets to New York, or
b he has about nine hundred of those jokes that
(29:48):
he can lay on you as well.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
You think that was bad? How about yes? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And then it's a yuckfest drinking and laughing all the
way to New York. But it's not a bad way
to go. You do take chances, though, you do take chances.
I also like to see a priest or a nun
on the flight. I think that's comforting.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
What do you do when someone strikes up a conversation
with you? They don't really.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Often, you know, I will engage, I guess you know.
There was Oh here's a per example. My daughter and
I were flying back from Portland. She was only about
twelve or thirteen at the time, and her stupid dad
I didn't make reservations till late. So we were sitting
in the aisle. I was in the aisle seat, and
(30:35):
so was she. She was in the aisle across from me,
so you know, she was in fourteen A or fourteen B.
I was in fourteen C or whatever it was. We're
both in the aisle, so we weren't sitting next to
each other, but I was sitting across the aisle from her.
And then the guy next to me said, oh, is
that your daughter? I said yeah, and he goes, oh, no,
I'll have her sit here, and he moves seats. So
(30:56):
now I'm sitting next to my daughter. But now that
guy's in the aisle, I'm in the aisle and he
wants to talk. And the whole two hours back to Burbank.
He was talking across the aisle in a in a
voice of right around this level, right around this level,
for two hours, and I had to engage because he
(31:20):
was kind to my daughter. I couldn't shut him down.
I had I had to hook up with him. But
he was telling me radical stories, naming celebrities names, and
also how much cocaine he did with them.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
So that was kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
I was going to say it probably started out interesting.
Oh yeah, sort of drag honor. It's like, oh, who's next.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yeah, it was pretty good. It was pretty good.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Some solid A listers on coke and and different, you know,
sexual experiences they had with others.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Because that's what the coke les. Yeah, he opened up
opened them up.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
But anyway, so we have air traffic delays and we
also have we know we have type of this, but
we we also of air traffic school. You can actually
go become one of the most important people in America.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We'll do that before the end of the program.
