Oh wow, Yeah, it's true.

If I created MTV, every time I ran into anybody,
I'd say, like, you know, like number in and out,
number thirty eight, number thirty eight. Oh, thanks, thanks for
the burger. You know, by the way I created MTV,
you would lead with that. I would include that in
any conversation I have and being as they work it
in and they'd go what yeah, all right, yeah, Pete, Hey, Pete,

I went on like Fox Sports West. When I first started,
I thought the next thing for me to do was
go on MTV and like ride a jet ski during
spring break like like and be with chicks like that
was I thought that, Yeah, you know, I thought that
was my trajectory.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Was a spring Break was really good on MTV.

Actually the spring the spring Break House or the Summer House,
remember that. Yeah, that actually died at Marine Land no Way. Yeah,

there before they built teran AA. There was nothing there
for like twenty years after Marine Land closed, and they
tried to do a beach house there, which is you know,

thought that coming from Fox Sports West, I was going
to be doing a lot of those shows, right and.

Hooking up with chicks, And instead it was.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
An MTV spring break. Wasn't it spring break? Yeah?

USC to play a lot better.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
But remember, it reminds me of wait, I'm.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Sorry, I'm please wait. It reminds me of when I
turned twenty one. You know, it's not a lot of
my dad.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
My dad was like, We're going to go to Vegas,
and I was like, I've never been to Vegas, man,
what's it going to be like?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You know?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
My dad and I in tuxedos, walking around like James Bond,
Frank the guys in dolphin shorts with a tank top,
playing the slots at the Golden Nugget.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I'm on the elevator.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
There's a chick with an oxygen take smoking next to me.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I'm like, this is it really? Pappenings tever at.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
A tank top and then every every five minutes he
called the room, I'm up, and then he called back,
I'm down.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Oh what was to be?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Tank top and dolphin shorts? His dad's playing. That's just
two good nickel Slot said three of spades.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah, you have this sense of this romantic neon filled
one night that is Vegas. You know who we're going
to see. There was a place that Sammy, Dean and
Frank used to hang out, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And then yeah, as as.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I went to Las Vegas when my dad and I
was twenty five, so my dad had to be, you know,
fifty five or so. And my dad and I had
never gambled together. My dad was a big gambler. And
I enjoy it, you know, whenever I can get out there.
And so I said to my dad, we're at the
Las Vegas Hilton. I said, hey, Dad, we've never gambled together.
Let's gamble together. Let's go play. And he goes, oh, tee,
(04:33):
that's great, let's do it. I said, what about craps? Oh,
I love craps. So they're the crabs table and we're
we're betting, you know, nothing big, nothing big. And the
role comes around to me and I pick up the
dice and I see my dad put one hundred dollars
down on the don't, and that means he's betting against
me that I would roll a seven. Yeah, he thinks
(04:54):
you're going to clamp out if the number six, that
I'll roll the seven before I roll a six, I'm
gonna I'm going to crap out.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I think you're going to lose.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
He thinks I'm gonna lose. And I go, Dad, I said,
you know, when you put the money on the don't,
you're betting against me. And his response was, he goes, Tim,
I've known you for twenty five years. I'm going to
clean up on your role, and he did.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Twenty five years, you've been a loser. It's not going
to turn around right now.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Twenty five years you have done. Everything you've touched has
turned to.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Oh that's really funny, and you're very going to make
me a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's a father's love. And he did. I made him
a ton of money. But that's you know, that's just
one of many instances where my dad was very honest
with me when I was I know, this baseball season,
we're about to go to the World Series. So I'll
tell you a pretty decent little league story. When I
was in the little league, I was probably about ten
or eleven years old, and I played in West Valley
(05:55):
Little League. I was on the Boston Red Sox and
I was a pitcher, and I pitched a no hitter,
six innings, no runs, no hits. Nowhere is nothing a
perfect game. And they, you know, kids put me on
their shoulders and I ran off the field and people
are cheering for both teams. They couldn't believe, you know,
they saw this twelve year old pitch no hitter. So
I go home. It's about four o'clock. My dad gets
(06:15):
home at seven. I said, Dad, I just pitched a
perfect game in literaly. He goes, oh, tea, I got.
I wish I was there. I'd love to see that.
I hope that somebody has pictures of it. I said,
I think I got something here. I'd like to, you know,
pursue this. And he sits me down and he has
tim You're not that great, he said, You're pitching against
(06:35):
kids who are all wearing glasses. These are these fat
kids are never going to play high school, let alone
college or the pros. You're pitching to guys who can
barely see. And I said, oh, okay, wow, And you
know what, he saved me, even though it kind of hurt.
(06:57):
He saved me from a life of failure because I'm
not built for to be a picture.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
I'm just not.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
He's like, you peaked, that's right.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
He wanted you to recalibrate.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
But that might have been an awkward moment to make
the point and let me have the day.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Guy saved me. Guy saved me. At the time, it
was like a little shocking, you know. I went to
the school the next day and told that story and
they're like, maybe what he said?
Speaker 6 (07:20):
What?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
But ultimately he was honest and he saved me a
boatload of depression.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Yeah, and disappointment, yeah, and failure. You turned your disappointment
and failure into other endeavors.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's right, into other failures. All right, we're live. We're
keeping one on that accident. Man, I've seen the carnage
from the accident. Angel Martinez. Have you seen the amount
of damage that that truck has done?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Oh my gosh, yes, I mean some of the cars
that involved. They look like crushed aluminum cans.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, you gotta you gotta watch the news tonight and
see this or look it up on you know, Facebook
or Twitter or whatever. But it looks like one car.
You can't tell that it was even a car. It
just looks like a little tiny, you know, like a
lunch box. And you know what they're saying is on
the road, the bigger lud nuts always win. And it's
(08:15):
totally true here. This car is so mangled on this freeway.
I don't know how anybody got out of their live.
I guess three people have been killed. It's the ten
west of the fifteen. You've got to avoid that area.
It's going to be closed. I imagine it probably midnight. There's
still bodies there. There's still a lot of investigating to do.
Are they giving you any timeline on this angel?
Speaker 6 (08:37):
No, they usually do, And all the High Repatrol said
is we will advise when open. They usually give like
a timeframe like, okay, you know, we'll aim for eight o'clock. Sure,
but they haven't even done that.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I would not be surprised if tomorrow morning they're still
cleaning that up.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Well, you know, I mean, this sounds kind of gruesome,
but they need to, you know, remove bodies.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Right now, there's three bodies. Stocks they've not extricated all
the bodies that it's horrible. All right, we'll keep an
eye on that for you. Ten westbound at the fifteen.
A horrific accident. A big wheel I'm sorry, a big
rig eighteen wheeler going probably sixty seventy miles an hour.
Doesn't look like it ever breaked, ever used the brakes
(09:24):
and slammed into cars and trucks. And three people have died.
And that's right here in southern California. It's right here
in our backyard. Three people who have just going about
their lives, coming home from school, going home to their family,
coming to work, going to work, whatever. Maybe out for lunch.
Maybe somebody just got engaged, maybe somebody just got married.
Somebody just told their you know, their loved one, they're
pregnant and their life is over. And so if you're
(09:46):
stuck in traffic, at least you are alive, you know,
So don't be really pissed. Their three people lost their
lives and you'll get by. They didn't. It's Conway and

bought the NBA rights for twenty seven trillion dollars stuff
(13:25):
like that, and they expect a major loss initially, so
somebody may have goofed on buying the NBA rights. Let's
find out what's going on here. Look, I think whenever
you buy sports rights, I think you always make money.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I think eventually you do.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And it's great for the network too, you know, to
be associated with the NBA or NFL or baseball or hockey.
Let's find out what's going on with the NBA Universal.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
First of all, Warner Brothers Discovery confirming today what we've.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Been doing, the wrong one. I'm sorry. Let me play
the NBC Universal one.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Hear say that one? Guys, yeahing around with a lot
of stories.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Charles Nelson riling all right, ding dong with this Universal
NBC and the NBA rights.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
NBC Universal last year paid twenty seven billions.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You have the same guy, that same guy? Yeah, okay,
and Joanne Whirli.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
NBC Universal last year paid twenty seven billion dollars for
rights to NBA games.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But wait, how much did they pay?
Speaker 7 (14:22):
NBC Universal last year paid twenty seven billion dollars for
rights to NBA games.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Twenty seven billion dollars goes to all the owners. Twenty
seven billion dollars. Now, how does NBC what do they do?
Just write that check?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I guess that's that's a wow.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
The company now says they're anticipating massive losses as a
result of that deal, how much, Well, apparently they're looking
at annual losses from anywhere from five hundred million dollars
to one point four billion dollars over the long tall
NBC Universal still says they expect this deal to be
profitable because it'll bring in a young audience, and certainly
(15:01):
that's what sponsors want to see. Nevertheless, anytime you're looking
at billions of dollars in losses before your deal suddenly
becomes profitable, that's a real roll of the dice because
you got to ride that storm out. So when you
look at deals like this, someone's.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Spading gonna say ride the White Pony dice because.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
You got to ride that storm.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Out, Ride that storm out. You got to remember that song.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
You gotta ride, Ride the wide Horse. Oh yeah, I
do remember that.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That's about cocaine.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Crozer'd you play that when you were a DJ? Cocaine
or heroin or heroin?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I think it's a little both. But did you play
that when you were DJ?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
No, it's a little little modeling. Can't doesn't really have much.
You can ride the horse, yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Ride that storm out.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
So when you look at deals like that, someone storm out,
Ride that storm.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Outride that storm out. You gotta ride.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
You're going to right ride that storm out right, ride
that White Pony.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
Why that storm out?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Rye that storm out?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's actually a great video, you know, a parody of
that song, Rye that storm out? Yeah, with that song,
with that audio in the background, sam.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Why that storm out? Why that storm you.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Could usually create a whole Yeah, it's gonna hit that music.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Again, right.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Right right, Rye that storm out right? Right right, ride
that storm out right.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I think it's a hit in the club. It's it's
it's a work in progress, but that sampling is strong.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
I agree with.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You, Sammy. We got to be partners, well, DJ together,
you can rock this together.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
That's right. Now.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We just need Charles Nelson and Riley to join us,
the three of us, that's right.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
So when you look at deals like this, someone spending
billions of dollars for Warner twenty seven billion dollars for
NBC rights or for NBA rights that then have to
be covered.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
Who pays for that? Well, you already know the answer
to that. You do.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
Consumers do, and they'll do that in the form of
higher prices for all this amazing entertainment content that's going
to be generated, and just drive that point home. Warner's
HBO Max wasted no time in announcing today that it's
raising its rates roughly ten percent for each one of
its monthly plans. Keep in mind the inflation rate now
(17:37):
runs about three percent.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Everything's always costing more. Whenever there's a problem, and you
know local government or you know a federal government, they're
all the response always is we need more money. Sure,
you know, like the lights have gone out in Hollywood,
there's no street lights. Everyone's stealing the copper wire. Guess
what their solution is, Let's raise the rates for the
DW and raise electric rates so we can fix that.
(18:02):
Always raising rates, always taking money from you to fix
what they screwed up. It's Conway and Tom's were live
on KFI.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well sur do you the duke there goes to do man.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Oh what a song.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Maybe the best song ever written history of the world.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
This is what lyrics are. Without no lyrics.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Sucks.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
It's about Duke Ellington, right, I don't know you call
it cares. Come on, it's the best song ever written.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Period. Oh is that right?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, nothing's even close.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Wow. Nothing didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
All right, let's get some news.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
That's a true story, man, it's a true story. That's right.
He really likes that song.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
We got to mention the Dodgers. They're starting in the
World Series on Friday.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
That's pretty cool. They are dynastic. They are like, they
seem like they're going to be around a long time.
They've got to be the favorite to win the series.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, all right, the NFL, NFL, NFL is in the news.
From NFL to nursing. What was this going on?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Stacked up and dropped on the play.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Patrick Hill always dreamt of playing professional football, and he
achieved that dream, spending two years with the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (19:33):
But ten years ago he decided it was time for
a new dream.
Speaker 10 (19:37):
You know, I had two miles to feed, and then
I had a wife that was depending on me. So
for me, it was kind of like, okay, let's call audible.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
The former fullback swapped his shoulder pads for scrubs. He's
now an inpatient psychiatric nurse at UCLA Medical Center.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
It's very tough because nursing is humbling. But sometimes I'll
get a good eye he's ticking.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That guy, still hyping yourself up.
Speaker 10 (20:01):
Before in my mind like I'm him, And you're like, oh,
I didn't feel that idea was like, yeah, I'm still him.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Patrick's colleagues say that enthusiasm from his playing days and
his drive to be great also makes him a great nurse.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
He knows how to tackle everything that that patient is
dealing with.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
Tackle no pun intended. But when we really need that
pick me up.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
As a team, he's there for us.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
And Patrick is just one example of the NFL to
nursing pipeline, several of them profiled by The New York Times.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
That is as well blog I've ever seen.
Speaker 9 (20:33):
To Brickashaw Ferguson was a three time pro bowler for
the New York Jets. He's now found his post retirement
calling as an oncology nurse in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
You know what these guys are, These NFL players that
go into nursing. They can not only be great nurses,
but they can be part of the lift team.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh I didn't think of that. Yeah, you mean the
one you when you got to lift a patient out.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's right, there's a there's a professional lift team at
most hospitals. It's you know, five or six guys who
are bodybuilders and they can come in and, you know,
take a patient who is five hundred and thirty pounds
and take them from a gurney and put them into bed.
They when I was, you know, a youngster, I never
even heard that term before, a lift team. Now we
(21:16):
have a lift team, a team to pick up the
tons of funds.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
And it was more of a kind of an informal
thing probably in the old days. Right, And now you're
saying there's a team and it's designated as the lift team.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Right, I don't think we had as many guys. Oh,
I see what you're saying looking in at five thirty.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Yeah, you're saying that the trend of society has been
toward the uh, we're going for it bulky or items.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
When I see a guy who is, you know, like
four hundred and fifty five, six hundred pounds, I respect
that me too.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
I think the boy, that's somebody who's enjoying life and
they're not they're not like me or oh, I can't
have a cocktail and I can't disk I want to
avoid that. I don't want to get dementia if I
have too many fried foods or whatever.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
No, man, they just inhale it all.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
They say, you know, I shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah exactly, Hey do you want another?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
No, I shouldn't. It's a blessing, yeah, and they they look,
there's a lot of depression that comes along with it.
But I think while they're eating, I think that's like
the real joy.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
It's one of the sensual delights. Yeah, I mean, it
really is.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
It's up there with all the sensual delights.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I follow on on YouTube this guy who's probably about
three hundred and fifty pounds, and he's a chef and
every almost every recipe is cheese and sour cream and
velveda and more cream and more cheese and everything can
wipe you out, you know, but he's cooking for guys
(22:43):
like him, who are you know, three fifty four pounds. Yeah,
those guys enjoy it.
Speaker 11 (22:48):
Well.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
You know, there was a Cajun chef called K Paul
and there's a very famous restaurant called K Paul's in
New Orleans, and I remember being there with a tea
crew and he made for us this incredible meal. And
when I'd never met him, he was a kind of
a legendary figure at the time.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
And he came out he was immense, like, you know,
moved from one side and the next way.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
He walked kind of like a wattle almost, And I thought, man,
the poor guy. I mean, he he seems so full
of life and so much. And then the next time
I saw him he was in one of those motorized scooters,
like he couldn't even walk. But then the next time
I saw him or it looked like you and me
really had one of those bypass things, and he was
(23:34):
wild to see him so thin.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And then the next time I saw him, it was
for us lawn. Oh really, I think he was.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
I mean, I think it improved his life to lose
all that weight, but it might have been too much
of a shock to the system.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, but I do respect a guy going for a
touchdown on every meal.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
And then his stuff was super rich and yeah, and
those rich delicious foods, the butter, the cheese, the great
I mean, you just want to fill a bathtub with it.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And just eat it up. Gosh, it's great.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
And I wish I loved food as much as those guys.
I eat now just because I have to. I don't really,
you know, enjoy eating. I'm like, I'll have more of
that because I have to eat or else I'll die.
But I don't really like I would never go like
forty miles because I heard of a great restaurant. O. Sure,
you know, I'd rather just go to Olive Garden and
(24:25):
you know, get my get my pushups in, get my sticks,
and you know, my breadsticks.
Speaker 9 (24:30):
And chiefs running back. Clyde Edwards Hilaire, a two time
Super Bowl champion, has been studying to eventually become a
nurse while he's still playing.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
This guy went from NFL to nursing, back to school
for nursing.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
But I can handle any medical emergencies.
Speaker 9 (24:45):
And Patrick says he's well aware he doesn't fit the
stereotype of what some people expect from a nurse, but
he's happy to help lead the charge.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
Occasionally a patient and be like, also, who's my nurse?
They can't really see past the stature, and it's definitely
time to deep that stereotype and to be like, hey,
you know what guys are driving in nursing.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Are the victories in your line of work now as
satisfying as a win would have been in football?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I think it is.
Speaker 10 (25:10):
Yeah, definitely. Our first down has come in the terms
of like, okay, you know, the family came and visit,
the mom or dad or husband or wife remembered who
their loved one was today.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
That was a victory.
Speaker 9 (25:20):
And Patrick says he thinks he's even better at nursing
than he was a football because of father time is
on his side.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That's kind of a cool story.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Guy leaves the NFL to go into a nursing I
think that's what I'm gonna do once I leave radio,
get into nursing.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
Yeah, I don't see you necessarily. Maybe in the nursing,
you know, maybe we share a conversation about.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
The better bedside manner than just like oh by bo,
you know, get out of here right.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
At minimum bedside mattered. It would be an obstacle, all.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Right, Real Live onf IM six forty, it's Conway Thompson
ca if I am at six forty, it's cond of
my show. Mark Thompson is with us. There's a horrible
crash today on the ten Freeway westbound of the fifteen Angel.
It's sound like they might be opening up the freeway soon.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Yeah, it does. Ay're working on it. I'm still The
last message that I received from the HP was opening
lanes shortly, and that was aut five forty five, so
just ten minutes ago.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
And I'm looking at the cow Trans camera right now,
which is pointing right at the scene of this horrific crash,
and still no lanes are getting through on the westbound side.
Eastbound travels open, nothing westbound yet.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
All right, well, we'll see. You'll let us know as
soon as it opens.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
Absolutely, I will let me you know what, let me
just yep, still nothing, I will. I'll let you know
as soon as I see cars trickling through rut on.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Okay, all right, thank you, I appreciate it. All right,
Low Salamados, if you live out at Low Soal, they're
making millions of dollars off of traffic tickets out at
Low Salamados out there, so you gotta be it's like
a speed trap. Well, i'll tell you here in the
in the body of that. Yeah, my curios, thank you,
(27:03):
thank you, thank you very much, thank you. But yeah,
I don't know what's you know what their theory is behind,
you know, TICKI tac tickets out there at low South and.
Speaker 11 (27:13):
Ten years of ticket data and saw just how much
money each city makes compared to their overall city revenue.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Then take a look at this.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
We mapped it out for you.
Speaker 11 (27:22):
This is actually just a small sample of the one
hundred and eighty four southern California cities we tracked. And surprisingly,
the city that came in at number one is right here.
It is Los Alaminos, just two square miles all around
that city, a small town, but making the biggest portion
of ticket money.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm surprised I've never gotten a ticket then, because I
got a low sal I go to the racetrack all
the time.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, you really must watch yourself when you're down here.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, I don't speed anymore. You know, once you get older,
and you know, I'm not ninety, but as you get older,
you know, you sort of just you'll get there when
you get there.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, you're not in a hurry. I think that's very true.
And you get older, you're not in a hurry.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
What are you in a hurry for? You know, I
mean when you're younger, you want to get somewhere because
you know you just met somebody. Yay, you got to
get to the party. Yeah, you got to get it going.
But as you get older, you're like, you know what,
I'll get there, and if I don't, who cares.
Speaker 8 (28:15):
Nobody likes getting the ticket. Nobody's getting in an.
Speaker 11 (28:17):
Accident from Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Typically they don't want to see me two lose elemidos.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
Hundreds of officers, millions of tickets wow, written and ripped
and reeling in two point four billion dollars across southern California.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Officers say it's just about safety.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
It's always about safety, and that is our mission.
Speaker 11 (28:38):
But some suspect it's really about racing up revenue that
it's disappointing.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah sucks. I don't know if the city makes a
lot of that revenue. I think a lot of it
goes to the state. I don't know how much the
actual you know, city makes when they give a ticket.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Oh is that right? That's why wouldn't the city keep
the revenue?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I think that the state keeps a lot of it.
I think if if you get a four hundred dollar ticket,
I think this city maybe makes you know, twenty or
thirty bucks. Really, yeah, I really do. That's why I've heard.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
Ultimately, this isn't my calling and this is my purpose.
Speaker 11 (29:12):
In Los al Amidos, there is one man reflecting the
traffic concerns of an entire city who's sole purpose in
this tiny two square mile town.
Speaker 8 (29:22):
Currently uncovering control right now is.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Patrolling and overseeing safety.
Speaker 8 (29:27):
Looking for people running red lights on safe speed.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, unsafe speed. You know Los Salamados. The racetrack is
on Kotella and people that's that's a real sort of
a highway. When people are on Kotella, they're going sixty
seventy miles an hour. I shoe him fly by all
the time. So I do get it that they want
to keep people safety concerns. A lot of families that
live in losal there's a new costco there that's been built,
(29:51):
another shopping center, and they do want to keep people alive.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
I get that strike and driving and Officer Christian Cruiz finds.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
That guy, hitter, I'm citing you for failure to obey
any signed signal or trapped control device.
Speaker 11 (30:06):
During his four years of service, citations have come, he says,
on average, at least one every hour, during every.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
Twelve hour shit, I make anywhere from fifteen to twenty trapic.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So how many tickets do you think you write?
Speaker 8 (30:19):
Then anywhere from ten to fifteen.
Speaker 11 (30:22):
And then there are the red light camera tickets those are.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
In place for typically because so we don't have to
be there.
Speaker 11 (30:29):
And the parking tickets that all together send some tempers
and little los alamados into outsized overdrive.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
You've gotten a lot of tickets here, Yeah.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
On this corner in front of this home. Randy Dison says,
tickets just keep racing in.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
How much is that ticket right now? This is a
forty dollars ticket year over year.
Speaker 9 (30:50):
Lot from tickets and all the other kind of tickets,
maybe like three thousand dollars you're thousands.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Yeah, that's crazy, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
But forty dollars for parking tickets cheap and it's sixty years.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
That's what bargain. Absolutely, that's a bargain. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
We went to Burbank last night. We ated my wife
and I went to Don Kucko's. I love Don and
you know, Don Cucko's great. But it used to be
free parking on the streets of Burbank, and now they
charge everybody.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Wow, I did that. We used to be one of
the big that was.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Right, that was a big attraction. Yeah, you're the one
who first told me that. You said, I have Burmank.
You don't have any parking meters at all.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I had a beef enchilada, rice and beans. I ate
everything on that plate for the first time in my life, Margarite,
don Kucko's is the best. Conray Thomas, We're live on
