Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI AM
six forty. It is The Conway Show, all right, Ding dong.
We've got the super Bowl coming up this Sunday. We'll
got plenty of news on the Super Bowl. Who's going
to win, who's going to be performing, Are there any
(00:23):
seats left?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
How much?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
You know, the whole sort of radio hack thing that
radio hacks do before the big Game.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But first we've.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Got the We've got a lot of fights going on
in the city of la and the County of Los Angeles,
and the biggest fight going on right now is where
do you put all of this hazardous waste from the
fires that we had in January? Where does it all go?
And they're trying to figure it out. We've never had
(00:53):
this much waste to dispose of, and we've got a
lot of people who are keeping their eye on where
it's going, and they don't want it in their backyard.
They're very sympathetic to the people who lost their homes.
There's an outpouring of money and emotion and assistance and
offers to help people out. But when it comes to
(01:17):
putting your waiste in their backyard. That's where they draw
the line. They're not going to let their kids near that,
or their elderly mom or dad. They don't want it
in their neighborhood. They don't want their property value to
go down because all of a sudden the water table
is contaminated. And so now we've got to figure out
(01:38):
what to do with all this crap. Where does it
all go?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I don't know of.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
La Mayor Karen Bass and EPA Administrator Lee zeld And
touring the Palisades fire zone today to assess the progress
on debris removal. The EPA is working to remove hazardous
materials from the burnside as part of phase one of
the debris removal process and cleaning up tons of hazard's
waste I'm not burn zone of the Palisades fire and
storing it is no easy task.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
And now a plan by the EPA to process the
waste that will Rogers State Beach is being blasted by
locals there.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, they're going to take all the waste to the beach,
and I thought, ooh, there's going to be some blowback
on putting all the waste onto the sand and possibly
into the ocean.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Eyewitnesses supporter Rob Hayes's line with reaction to that controversial.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Plan, dang don, This is one of the better reporters
in Los Angeles, Rob Hayes, Man, this guy gets done.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah, this is where the EPA is going to be
setting up that hazardous waste processing plant. The agency says
it's the best place I could find. A lot of
residents though not too happy about it. As the Palisades
recovery efforts grind forward with more rain headed toward the
Palisades burn zone, concerns about possible slides and debris flows
are once again rising, as well as contaminated rain runoff.
(02:54):
But long term concerns are also surfacing. At LA City Hall.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
We're going to be here through the thick of it
to celibate your recovery.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
This is the first meeting is the new ad hoc
Committee on LA Recovery, formed in the wake of last
month's fires. Its goal is to fast track relief and
rebuilding as well as here from frustrated residents.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, but where does it all go? We take it
out to the desert, and the people at Lancaster Palmdale
going to go uh huh, not out here. They take
an Apple valley and they said, nope, they take a
Nevada and they said, oh, that's a California problem, not
a Nevada problem. Where does it go? Do we put
on ships and send it over seas?
Speaker 7 (03:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
All of our systems need to be upgraded, our wires
need to be put underground, and we need to have
homes built that are fully fire resistant.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Much of the Palisades recovery, though, we'll have to come
after cleanup with thousands of burned out buildings littered across
the landscape here. Hazardous materials abound.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, it is everywhere. And you see that there's some
tractors out there. Some people have gotten a jump on
leaning up their their acreage or their lot and starting
the process of rebuilding. And so the people, the other
people on that block are like, oh man, they've already
got a tractor, they've already cleaned their lot. We got
to catch up. We got to catch up. And it's
(04:13):
and it's trying to, you know, keep up with the Jones.
What it was that term croziers and keeping up with
the Jones, keeping up with the you know, with the neighbor,
the Jones. Keeping up with the Jones is okay, yeah,
but people are gonna do that.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
A lot of what we're seeing is what was that bell.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Did Bellio say something?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
She gets pissed when I when she says something and
I don't respond to it, So I got.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
To start responding to it better. Fine, we can move on.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
You can move on, thank you.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
A lot of what we're seeing is lithium ion batteries,
aerosol cans, pesticides.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Paint, paint, and also the batteries from those electric cars.
Those are going to be difficult to get rid of.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
The list goes on. The EPA has about twelve hundred
workers split between the p estates and eaten fire zones.
Their job removed that hazardous waste. So the Army Corps
of Engineers moves in to clear out the debris and.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Ash, okay, all right, but where does it go? Where
is its final destination? It has to be put somewhere.
It's going to be put underground somewhere. I mean we
drill a hole in the side of one of these
mountains and stick it in there.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I don't know, but for the EPA to do its job,
a processing area is needed. When the agency intends to
set up here at will Rogers State Beach Parking Lot.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Oh, that's gonna not be a good look. That's not
going to be a good look when they put all
this hazardous waste right on the beach.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
At will Rogers State Beach Parking law.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh no, man, there's gonna be a lot of people
against that.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It's also really against it. The people whose homes are
burned down, they're probably against it too.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
The thought of placing hazardous waste so close to the
water is not sitting well with residents. City council Member
Tracy Park.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
This obviously poses major concerns about potential impacts on our
coastal environment.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Park wants the processing site set up in an area
that's already been burned, but the EPA says that won't
work because they need a large, flat site with easy
access to major roads. Concerns about new contamination along the coast,
the agency says, are unfhoned.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
This is material that will be double sometimes triplet.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Don't you feel like you know when they say it's
going to be double and triple wrapped and there's gonna
be no chance of anything seeping into the sand.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Or the ocean.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Don't you When you hear the government say that, doesn't
everybody have sort of the opposite reaction to that, like, Okay,
that's what you're telling us. But we've seen what's been
happening over the last one hundred, one hundred and fifty
two hundred years in this country.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We have seen this movie before.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
We've seen it bagged or containerized. We will be doing
air monitoring as well throughout the entire duration of the
staging area being stood up, and we'll also sample when
we're done.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
The UPA hopes to start constructing that processing site as
soon as possible. How long it'll be here though, still
up in the air.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, I mean, you can ask yourself once it's all done.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Let's say they do use that staging facility at the
beach for all the contaminated material, and it's been a
year or two, it's all gone, they've done testing and
it's over.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Would you feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Taking your three kids and letting them play on that
beach all day?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You wouldn't. You would not.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So it's going to be a huge problem, a major
problem for the next year, maybe year and a half,
maybe even two years. What to do with all of
this burnt out crap.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't know. I don't know where it goes.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All right, let's talk about the Malibu mud slides. There
were some mud slides. I think we dodged a bullet.
For the most part. It rained all night in Burbank,
all night in the valley. It didn't stop but for
maybe four or five minutes and they'd start again. And
you know what, And the nice thing about this, and
(08:20):
I know we have you know a lot of people
worried about mudslides, and that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I totally understand that.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
But when we get rain like this, you know, late
in in the in the winter, because we're almost in spring,
you know, spring starts later this month, early next month.
And when we get rain like this, if you drive
up to northern California, man, these mountains are going to
be spectacular. Everything's going to be green, everything's going to beautiful.
(08:48):
And you got to get out there with the kids,
with your wife, with your husband, your bed partner, whoever
you got rolling around in your life. You got to
get the pack, pack the car, slide out there and
see beautiful California the most beautiful state in the country
by far.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
By far, nothing's even close.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Florida doesn't compete, Texas doesn't compete. Washington and Oregon are
too cold in the winter. The East coast, a couple
of states are interesting on the east coast. North Carolina,
South Carolina are beautiful, New Jersey, New York. There's some
areas of the East coast that are beautiful. But there's
not a coastline in the world like we have here
(09:31):
in California. I mean, we have a thousand miles of coastline,
or nearly a thousand miles, you know, from South San
Diego all the way up to Way Rica, you know,
the border there between Oregon and California. It's beautiful. And
if you live in California and you've never taken the
one oh one north, you know, just take a week,
(09:53):
if you can take a week off and drive the
one oh one, go through all these beautiful towns, all
this coastline that is spectacular. Man, you'll have a brand
new appreciation for how beautiful this state is. It really is,
which makes it even harder to believe that we've screwed
it up. We have the most beautiful real estate in
the world. We have the most creative people in the
(10:14):
world right here in southern California. Showbiz has the most
creative people in the world. We have the best athletes
in the world in California. Just take a look Dodgers, Lakers, Kings,
you know, the Padres, the Giants, you know, we got
a lot of great athletes in California. We also have
the smartest people in the world up in the Silicon Valley,
(10:37):
the smartest people in the world. They've designed the tech world.
The smartest people in the world. Then we have the
greatest agriculture in the world in California. We have some
of the best mountains, some of the best skiing, some
of the best you know, golf courses, and restaurants and museums.
And we've got a lot in California. Yet we're broke.
(11:01):
We're broke. The streets in Los Angeles are a mess.
They continue to be. We've wasted the money that we've
raised in taxes and fees, and we've blown it. So
the city of Los Angeles is desperate for money, and
they're gonna start charging more fees, more taxes, and they're
(11:21):
going to fee and tax you to death.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
They put that mansion tax on where if you sell
a house more than five dollars, you get an extra
tax on that. And what happened the very expensive real
estate market dried up and now they're not. They're getting
very few dollars. There used to be two or three
hundred homes a year that's sold in that price range.
I think last year there were nine or maybe ten,
(11:47):
and so it backfired on.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Them, backfired.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
But again, the most beautiful state in the world. Now
we got to worry about our local communities like Malibu, Malibu, beautiful,
beautiful area in Malibu, but they got mud slides going on.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
It's bright and sunny now on PCH but however, there
were mud slides overnight last night. There's been so much
preparation for the rain this weekend with more on the horizon,
people are concerned about even more mud slides and debris flow.
This is Air seven over the Malibu and Topanga area
this afternoon, and check out this mess. You can see
all that mud on Cloudcroft and Sandy Cape Drive.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, for people who are listing on radio and can't
see this, which is most of you tons of mud
around that area.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Topega Canyon also closed because of the debris that came
down after the storm. It's been one month since the
Palisades fire burned almost twenty four thousand acres.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Can you believe that that it's already been a month
since that happened. This seems like that happened last week,
that those fires were raging last week, and yet it's
already been a month since then.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Displaced families have had to navigate this new normal while
the city works to recover and rebuild. But forecasted rain
poses a new set of challenges.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Oh, we got our rain coming in, or rain next week,
A lot more rain coming in. You know, last night
was just the beginning of it. We got more rain
coming in next week, and it's not gonna it's not
gonna be terrible, but it's gonna be, you know, at
least something to worry about. Thursday and Friday of next week.
Seventy five percent chance of rain on Thursday. Forty five
(13:19):
percent chance on Thursday and Friday. Let me see if
that was right. Let's see Thursday and Friday. Yeah, Thursday
and Friday of next week, a lot of rain coming in.
If you live up in the Antelope Valley, our friends,
we have a lot of listeners who live up there
in Palmdale, Lancaster. Then to the east of that Apple Valley,
fifty five percent chance of rain on Thursday, thirty five
(13:40):
percent chants of rain on Friday. Then in Malibu, the coast,
Santa Monica, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, the whole beach area.
You're looking at rain on Thursday and Friday. Seventy percent
chance on Thursday, fifty percent chance on Friday of next week.
Speaker 11 (13:58):
We face down the threat of rain and mud slides.
It never stops by securing and placing more than seven
thousand feet of concrete barriers and six thousand sandbags in
the communities and bluffs.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
There were minor mud slides in the Palisades Fire Burn
area that kept public works crews busy. PCH was closed
due to the risk of mud and debris flow and
Caltrans posted on x this morning posted PCH was closed
due to the risk of mud and debrisflow and Caltrans.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I like that pronunciation.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm going to go with that now onkel transl.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Trans like TikTok.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, TikTok like big Bear. You know I love Big Bear.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Tiktokl trans cal Trans posted on X this morning saying
PCCh remains closed in both directions.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's gonna happen a lot over the next two years.
PCH would be closed, you know, every month or so
for you know, a week or weekend. They're going to
close that PCH a.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
Lot between Chatauqua Boulevard and Los Angeles and Carbon Beach
Terrace in Malibu until further notice. Charles Unis, a public
insurance adjuster, is working with a few dozen clients in
the Palisades burn area, and he says, with more rain
on the horizon, concerns are heightened.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, they're worried about culture.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
You know, the wildfire essentially de stabilized the hillside. All this,
all the brush and the trees that had deep roots
in the hellside now completely eliminated or almost eliminated, are
basically caused good cause and erosion to the hillside.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, we've got to.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Get those The landscaping has to be done immediately. They've
got to start two weeks ago, but they've got to
start with.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The landscaping immediately.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Get these trees back up, get the flowers, get the grass,
get the you know, whatever you got to you got
to put up there. We've got to start receding and
get the flat, get the plants up there immediately to
prevent this from happening over the next couple of years.
All Right, lots to do here in southern California. Lots
going on, and we're covering it all right here on
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
A six.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Forty one more story here, which is a cool story
about the fire. It's not fire related or clean up
or the mud slides. It's it's a feel good, heartwarming
story about Disneyland and their connection to these horrible, horrible fires.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
The Disneyland Resort is honoring heroes of the LA wildfires
with free park tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
How about that free park tickets for the heroes of
the fire.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Eligible California firefighters and LA based law enforcement personnel can
get two free one day park hopper tickets. The Heroes
tickets will be valid from May fifth through August seventh,
Mondays through Thursdays. Disneyland Resort says details on how to
register for the tickets will be communicated directly to qualifying fire,
(16:50):
police and sheriff's departments in April.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So if you're a firefighter, you can slide in. Maybe
you qualify for the free one day two tickets.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think it's two tickets park hoppers.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So those are those are valuable tickets, the park opper,
and you deserve it, so take advantage of it.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Don't feel like you know, oh, you never asked for
anything free. You know, anything free, just doing your job.
Put that in your back pocket. Go get the tickets.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Take your kid, take your wife, take your husband, take
your bed partner, take your I don't know, take a stranger.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Take me the helm.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I'll go.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'll go with a firefighter the helm. You know, we'll
have a good time. Ride the tea cups together, all right,
we had times.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
I love the tea cups.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Do they still have the tea cups?
Speaker 13 (17:37):
They have to. If they don't, I'm never going back.
But I got that thing, spinning man. Everybody else sat
back and I whipped it around.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I like the tea cups. Right next to mister Toad's
Wild Ride.
Speaker 13 (17:49):
I like that right, Yes, that might be my second favorite.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Is it still there? Oh, that's great. I need that
to be there.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I love that ride, mister Toad's Wild Ride to Throw Act.
I mean, you know, that thing looks like I could
have created it. You know, it's an old.
Speaker 13 (18:06):
That, hey, let's get together and make a show in
this in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah at this point, right, But I hope they don't
get rid of it because that that's like, uh, you know,
it's like singing antique.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
I think that's one of those rides that, you know,
even like surpasses, you know, small World, where everybody's just
that's like their favorite classic ride because it's one of
the more obscure ones that people just go, yeah, that's
I dig that miss too.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I mean, when you go to the NFL Hall of Fame,
you want to see Roger Staubag's jersey, you know, you
want to yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. You want to go
see Nostalgia and you can see it and ride it.
The people that first went to Disneyland were riding that exact,
exact same ride without almost any improvements to that ride,
Mister Toad's Wild Ride. I it seems to me like
(18:52):
that ride may have been untouched since Disneyland opened, and
I hope they don't touch it. I hope they keep
it the same way forever. That's a great ride, man,
mister Toad's Wild Ride, and I think they could just
change it to Mister Toad's Ride. I don't remember anything
wild about it, that's true. I mean the one hurky
jerky movement where you think you're gonna run to the
mirror and then you go boh left and there. Oh right,
(19:16):
not so wild? Yeah, so very very right. Okay, TJ Max.
Everybody knows my favorite store, TJ Max, So I'm going
to try to do everything it can to keep TJ
Max around.
Speaker 14 (19:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It's my second go to when I'm looking for fall
fashion or spring or winter clothing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
My first one obviously CVS. Yes, yes, yes, yes, But.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
After CVS or CVS is sold out, which I quite
off an arm, I'll slide over to TJ Max and
throw some duds on old t bones.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Well.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
Many US retailers aren't concerned about the Trump Administration's tariff plans,
TJ Max may end up benefiting from them. Unlike most
of its competitors, TJ Max imports only a small fraction
of its merchandise from overseas.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That's why I go there, American American Man, American clothes.
Speaker 15 (20:03):
That's mostly because they make purchases of products that are
access from other designer brands after they have already arrived
here in the US.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, like fifteen years later. That's when they access.
Speaker 15 (20:15):
Them products that are access from other designer brands after
they have already arrived here in the US. Other retailers
say they will have to increase their prices to deal
with the impact of tariffs. President Donald Trump was set
to enact tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, but
put them on a month long pause.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh no, no tariffs on TJ eight ten percent tariff
on Chinese materials is now in effect.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
TJ Max is one of those stores where if you're
going to like a summer barbecue party that your friend
is having, like on the beach or something, and you
don't have any shorts or shirt for it, you'll slide
in TJ Max and look for something cheap to wear
to that party. Or if you're going to a Christmas
party and you have anything with Santa or Rootolph on it,
(21:00):
you'll go to TJ Max and they'll load you up.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They'll load you up, or if.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
I've ever stepped into a TJ Max?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Really what a snob?
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I was going to say the same thing California thing.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Right, I guess for California's scumbags.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Huh, I've never I've never seen one around me.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Wow, have you been in California eighty eight eighty eight years?
Never run into a TJ Max?
Speaker 13 (21:22):
I mean maybe maybe, like on the freeway, I see
the signs for him, but I definitely know how many
a year where I live?
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Sorry, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You're a different dude?
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, this is shocking. Yeah, you're banging you guys, the snobs,
not me.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You've been to Cole's sure, Yeah, I love Coles.
Speaker 13 (21:38):
Jen's one of those people that we walk in and
she's got the Coles cash thing and three hundred dollars
worth of stuff when it's forty bucks.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And obviously from what you're wearing, you've been to the
good Will? Smoke suh mo roasted smoked?
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Why are you knocking the good Will? Who's the stuck
up snob one?
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What about Mark?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
I was a snob?
Speaker 13 (21:58):
Oh, so I'm not just stop if.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Arm shot brood Will? Who's rod roasted?
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Snobbybstert has a thought.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
They get jacket back.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
It's kind of snobbing to be like, oh, I got
this a good will. I didn't say it, you know,
like going around telling like I have a friend like that.
Like you know, every time a guy like you see
the guy like a Laker game or something, he's like,
you know, I got here for five dollars. I didn't
even have to do it. It's hey, guys, you think
(22:35):
this is pretty nice good will? You're like those high
school chicks you used to go to ard Farks and Hermosa.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
To get the jeans.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, I'm really hip. I'm super hip. I buy everything
a good will. That's great, all right.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Why don't you be like every other kf I host
and just get all your clothes at.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Costo or CBS. But you don't use seeing.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Bill handling cargo shorts and a beautiful winter morning.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Hey, more importantly, did you get your jacket back? We
got a lot of people stole it. Where was it?
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Sharon Sharon's it's possible that Sharon misled us.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's no kidding.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Sharon and I were.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Sharing the mic like Bruce and Little Stevie, and then
she just tried to knock me out. Now things got
a little ugly. A lot of people were accused. I
accused Kate's who's like my closest friend here. Uh, I
accused Matt and then I couldn't but Matt wasn't here.
In the morning when it was returned.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It just appeared.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Well, I think it was a collaboration to embarrass me
between Michelle Cube and Sharon. I was looking wait, wait, wait,
that's my that's my I think that if there was
a nefarious if if there was foul play, I think
it was a Conway and Steckler like the kind of
tried to humiliate me and you'll get me off riled
(23:54):
up and show what an idiot I am. Like, let's
see how much we could push this. Idiots buttons, you know,
like my daughter and son.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I get it. I get it.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
And uh, if that happened, Okay, probably happened is that
I dropped the jacket and it was picked up by
Michelle Cube, put somewhere safe and then returned to me
this morning. Right, And but but steffuche was very much
accused because of his uh his eating of all the food.
And we said, well he eats all the food. You
(24:21):
know what would stop him from taking a jacket.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I had a jacket like that and I and I
took it to the one of these donation places after
the fire and they turned that down.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Well it's a jacket that Usually I get my things
online and they're ill fitting.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
But this jacket I bought.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
And I bought this jacket at a sale rock sale
rack in a sun Dance, the actual resort, not the
movie festival.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And uh, what is so funny? Wait minute, you bought
you went to the sun Dance Resort. No, the resort,
Redfords Resort. Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Yeah, talk about a snob. You guys don't know what
it's like at Redford. If you, nobody of Redford would
kick your ass out. He'd see your Costco clothes.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'll bet nobody at the at the at the Sundance
vessel has ever eaten that crap that Newman puts out
in the shelves.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Well it's a different Newman and red Light anyway.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
Uh, the point is this jacket is very much like
what John Rambo was wearing when he was a drifter.
And uh in First Blood, you know what I mean,
like going from place to place?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Why do you always have to have a story of
everything you wear? Why can't you just wear something? Why
is there always have to be background on it?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Well, I think it's important to tell a story. We
do radio, Okay, what else are we gonna do? All right, buddy,
you're the best. Can you come in or are you
just talking about I'm here right now? I know you're
floating around. Well, I'm actually on the air down the hall.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
All right, Well, give us a prediction for his Sunday
pain Rocky three.
Speaker 10 (25:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, we got a lock to get into.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
We have the super Bowl coming up, the Big Game, right,
the Big Game.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
It's gonna be on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I hope everybody's got their plans if you're baking or cooking,
ford or what else is going on. But it's gonna
be huge. It's gonna be huge. Weather it's gonna be
perfect for it. Here in southern California. I don't know
what's gonna be like in New Orleans. I'm not going
so I don't really care. But here in southern California,
the weather outside right now is spectacular there are very
(26:27):
few clouds in the sky. The sun is coming down.
It's gonna green up the entire area. It's gonna have it.
We're gonna have an unbelievable weekend, crisp, clean, cool air
that the rain was so fortunate to come into our
lives and clean it up for us. And so tomorrow
it's gonna be sixty five, sixty three to sixty five
(26:49):
for most of southern California Tomorrow, perfect perfect temperature, same
thing on Sunday. Just a spectacular weekend here in southern California.
For people out in the high Desert, it's gonna be
cold thirty eight on Saturday. That's low highs sixty on
Saturday and Sunday low is thirty four on Sunday. So
it's getting down to near freezing up in the Analee Valley,
(27:12):
and so you gotta be aware of that. But here
in southern California, a spectacular weekend. It's going to be
a great, fantastic and that's.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
What we need.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
We need a cool weekend where there's nothing going on.
You can hang at home, you can sort of clean.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Up the house it's been a while.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You don't have to do anything you have any to
do's and you can just enjoy yourself.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
All right.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Otani's interpreter is going to jail, going to prison for
quite some time for a mischief making And.
Speaker 14 (27:44):
Just after that sentencing came down, there was a press
conference right outside the courthouse here behind me, where prosecutors
made it clear show hey, Otani is a victim in
all of this. They said this case is linked to
a separate ongoing investigation, but they would not elaborate rate
on that. That sentencing though again four years nine months
in federal prison for sho Heyo, Tani's former interpreter, and
(28:08):
this sentencing again coming down just over an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Here, Krozer, do you think his interpreter days with a
Showtani or over with shoe Aotani or over.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
With any interpreter?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
No, with him?
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Oh yeah, I would tend to think so.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yet you don't think it'll be a show show aoton
what though?
Speaker 13 (28:26):
He's got a lot of time behind bars to get
that impersonation better.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, there was.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
There was audio of him calling up a bank and
moving money around to cover his debts.
Speaker 14 (28:36):
At the federal courthouse in downtown Santana. Along with his
prison time forty year old.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
It paid.
Speaker 14 (28:42):
Mitsuhara has to pay restitution.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Oh, no restitution.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
Nearly seventeen million dollars to the baseball start he was
hired to help, and just more than one point one
million to the irs.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Where is that guy going to get nineteen million dollars?
Speaker 7 (28:57):
He's actually got to pay back more than he stole.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, but how much money is in the interpreting game?
You know what, twenty bucks an hour?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And then how often you called like I was called
once last month for an hour.
Speaker 13 (29:11):
Look one of the bank recordings where she asked him,
so do we expect more of these withdrawals?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Probably guy went forward in life. Gotta give him that.
Gotta give him that man.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
Nearly seventeen million dollars to the baseball star he was
hired to help, and just more than one point one
million to the irs. The judge saying he doesn't know
whether Otani will ever see all this
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI AM
six forty. It is The Conway Show, all right, Ding dong.
We've got the super Bowl coming up this Sunday. We'll
got plenty of news on the Super Bowl. Who's going
to win, who's going to be performing, Are there any
(00:23):
seats left?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
How much?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
You know, the whole sort of radio hack thing that
radio hacks do before the big Game.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But first we've.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Got the We've got a lot of fights going on
in the city of la and the County of Los Angeles,
and the biggest fight going on right now is where
do you put all of this hazardous waste from the
fires that we had in January? Where does it all go?
And they're trying to figure it out. We've never had
(00:53):
this much waste to dispose of, and we've got a
lot of people who are keeping their eye on where
it's going, and they don't want it in their backyard.
They're very sympathetic to the people who lost their homes.
There's an outpouring of money and emotion and assistance and
offers to help people out. But when it comes to
(01:17):
putting your waiste in their backyard. That's where they draw
the line. They're not going to let their kids near that,
or their elderly mom or dad. They don't want it
in their neighborhood. They don't want their property value to
go down because all of a sudden the water table
is contaminated. And so now we've got to figure out
(01:38):
what to do with all this crap. Where does it
all go?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I don't know of.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
La Mayor Karen Bass and EPA Administrator Lee zeld And
touring the Palisades fire zone today to assess the progress
on debris removal. The EPA is working to remove hazardous
materials from the burnside as part of phase one of
the debris removal process and cleaning up tons of hazard's
waste I'm not burn zone of the Palisades fire and
storing it is no easy task.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
And now a plan by the EPA to process the
waste that will Rogers State Beach is being blasted by
locals there.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, they're going to take all the waste to the beach,
and I thought, ooh, there's going to be some blowback
on putting all the waste onto the sand and possibly
into the ocean.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Eyewitnesses supporter Rob Hayes's line with reaction to that controversial.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Plan, dang don, This is one of the better reporters
in Los Angeles, Rob Hayes, Man, this guy gets done.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah, this is where the EPA is going to be
setting up that hazardous waste processing plant. The agency says
it's the best place I could find. A lot of
residents though not too happy about it. As the Palisades
recovery efforts grind forward with more rain headed toward the
Palisades burn zone, concerns about possible slides and debris flows
are once again rising, as well as contaminated rain runoff.
(02:54):
But long term concerns are also surfacing. At LA City Hall.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
We're going to be here through the thick of it
to celibate your recovery.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
This is the first meeting is the new ad hoc
Committee on LA Recovery, formed in the wake of last
month's fires. Its goal is to fast track relief and
rebuilding as well as here from frustrated residents.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, but where does it all go? We take it
out to the desert, and the people at Lancaster Palmdale
going to go uh huh, not out here. They take
an Apple valley and they said, nope, they take a
Nevada and they said, oh, that's a California problem, not
a Nevada problem. Where does it go? Do we put
on ships and send it over seas?
Speaker 7 (03:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
All of our systems need to be upgraded, our wires
need to be put underground, and we need to have
homes built that are fully fire resistant.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Much of the Palisades recovery, though, we'll have to come
after cleanup with thousands of burned out buildings littered across
the landscape here. Hazardous materials abound.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, it is everywhere. And you see that there's some
tractors out there. Some people have gotten a jump on
leaning up their their acreage or their lot and starting
the process of rebuilding. And so the people, the other
people on that block are like, oh man, they've already
got a tractor, they've already cleaned their lot. We got
to catch up. We got to catch up. And it's
(04:13):
and it's trying to, you know, keep up with the Jones.
What it was that term croziers and keeping up with
the Jones, keeping up with the you know, with the neighbor,
the Jones. Keeping up with the Jones is okay, yeah,
but people are gonna do that.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
A lot of what we're seeing is what was that bell.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Did Bellio say something?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
She gets pissed when I when she says something and
I don't respond to it, So I got.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
To start responding to it better. Fine, we can move on.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
You can move on, thank you.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
A lot of what we're seeing is lithium ion batteries,
aerosol cans, pesticides.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Paint, paint, and also the batteries from those electric cars.
Those are going to be difficult to get rid of.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
The list goes on. The EPA has about twelve hundred
workers split between the p estates and eaten fire zones.
Their job removed that hazardous waste. So the Army Corps
of Engineers moves in to clear out the debris and.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Ash, okay, all right, but where does it go? Where
is its final destination? It has to be put somewhere.
It's going to be put underground somewhere. I mean we
drill a hole in the side of one of these
mountains and stick it in there.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I don't know, but for the EPA to do its job,
a processing area is needed. When the agency intends to
set up here at will Rogers State Beach Parking Lot.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Oh, that's gonna not be a good look. That's not
going to be a good look when they put all
this hazardous waste right on the beach.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
At will Rogers State Beach Parking law.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh no, man, there's gonna be a lot of people
against that.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It's also really against it. The people whose homes are
burned down, they're probably against it too.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
The thought of placing hazardous waste so close to the
water is not sitting well with residents. City council Member
Tracy Park.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
This obviously poses major concerns about potential impacts on our
coastal environment.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Park wants the processing site set up in an area
that's already been burned, but the EPA says that won't
work because they need a large, flat site with easy
access to major roads. Concerns about new contamination along the coast,
the agency says, are unfhoned.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
This is material that will be double sometimes triplet.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Don't you feel like you know when they say it's
going to be double and triple wrapped and there's gonna
be no chance of anything seeping into the sand.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Or the ocean.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Don't you When you hear the government say that, doesn't
everybody have sort of the opposite reaction to that, like, Okay,
that's what you're telling us. But we've seen what's been
happening over the last one hundred, one hundred and fifty
two hundred years in this country.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
We have seen this movie before.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
We've seen it bagged or containerized. We will be doing
air monitoring as well throughout the entire duration of the
staging area being stood up, and we'll also sample when
we're done.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
The UPA hopes to start constructing that processing site as
soon as possible. How long it'll be here though, still
up in the air.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Well, I mean, you can ask yourself once it's all done.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Let's say they do use that staging facility at the
beach for all the contaminated material, and it's been a
year or two, it's all gone, they've done testing and
it's over.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Would you feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Taking your three kids and letting them play on that
beach all day?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You wouldn't. You would not.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So it's going to be a huge problem, a major
problem for the next year, maybe year and a half,
maybe even two years. What to do with all of
this burnt out crap.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I don't know. I don't know where it goes.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All right, let's talk about the Malibu mud slides. There
were some mud slides. I think we dodged a bullet.
For the most part. It rained all night in Burbank,
all night in the valley. It didn't stop but for
maybe four or five minutes and they'd start again. And
you know what, And the nice thing about this, and
(08:20):
I know we have you know a lot of people
worried about mudslides, and that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I totally understand that.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
But when we get rain like this, you know, late
in in the in the winter, because we're almost in spring,
you know, spring starts later this month, early next month.
And when we get rain like this, if you drive
up to northern California, man, these mountains are going to
be spectacular. Everything's going to be green, everything's going to beautiful.
(08:48):
And you got to get out there with the kids,
with your wife, with your husband, your bed partner, whoever
you got rolling around in your life. You got to
get the pack, pack the car, slide out there and
see beautiful California the most beautiful state in the country
by far.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
By far, nothing's even close.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Florida doesn't compete, Texas doesn't compete. Washington and Oregon are
too cold in the winter. The East coast, a couple
of states are interesting on the east coast. North Carolina,
South Carolina are beautiful, New Jersey, New York. There's some
areas of the East coast that are beautiful. But there's
not a coastline in the world like we have here
(09:31):
in California. I mean, we have a thousand miles of coastline,
or nearly a thousand miles, you know, from South San
Diego all the way up to Way Rica, you know,
the border there between Oregon and California. It's beautiful. And
if you live in California and you've never taken the
one oh one north, you know, just take a week,
(09:53):
if you can take a week off and drive the
one oh one, go through all these beautiful towns, all
this coastline that is spectacular. Man, you'll have a brand
new appreciation for how beautiful this state is. It really is,
which makes it even harder to believe that we've screwed
it up. We have the most beautiful real estate in
the world. We have the most creative people in the
(10:14):
world right here in southern California. Showbiz has the most
creative people in the world. We have the best athletes
in the world in California. Just take a look Dodgers, Lakers, Kings,
you know, the Padres, the Giants, you know, we got
a lot of great athletes in California. We also have
the smartest people in the world up in the Silicon Valley,
(10:37):
the smartest people in the world. They've designed the tech world.
The smartest people in the world. Then we have the
greatest agriculture in the world in California. We have some
of the best mountains, some of the best skiing, some
of the best you know, golf courses, and restaurants and museums.
And we've got a lot in California. Yet we're broke.
(11:01):
We're broke. The streets in Los Angeles are a mess.
They continue to be. We've wasted the money that we've
raised in taxes and fees, and we've blown it. So
the city of Los Angeles is desperate for money, and
they're gonna start charging more fees, more taxes, and they're
(11:21):
going to fee and tax you to death.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
They put that mansion tax on where if you sell
a house more than five dollars, you get an extra
tax on that. And what happened the very expensive real
estate market dried up and now they're not. They're getting
very few dollars. There used to be two or three
hundred homes a year that's sold in that price range.
I think last year there were nine or maybe ten,
(11:47):
and so it backfired on.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Them, backfired.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
But again, the most beautiful state in the world. Now
we got to worry about our local communities like Malibu, Malibu, beautiful,
beautiful area in Malibu, but they got mud slides going on.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
It's bright and sunny now on PCH but however, there
were mud slides overnight last night. There's been so much
preparation for the rain this weekend with more on the horizon,
people are concerned about even more mud slides and debris flow.
This is Air seven over the Malibu and Topanga area
this afternoon, and check out this mess. You can see
all that mud on Cloudcroft and Sandy Cape Drive.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, for people who are listing on radio and can't
see this, which is most of you tons of mud
around that area.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
Topega Canyon also closed because of the debris that came
down after the storm. It's been one month since the
Palisades fire burned almost twenty four thousand acres.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Can you believe that that it's already been a month
since that happened. This seems like that happened last week,
that those fires were raging last week, and yet it's
already been a month since then.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Displaced families have had to navigate this new normal while
the city works to recover and rebuild. But forecasted rain
poses a new set of challenges.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Oh, we got our rain coming in, or rain next week,
A lot more rain coming in. You know, last night
was just the beginning of it. We got more rain
coming in next week, and it's not gonna it's not
gonna be terrible, but it's gonna be, you know, at
least something to worry about. Thursday and Friday of next week.
Seventy five percent chance of rain on Thursday. Forty five
(13:19):
percent chance on Thursday and Friday. Let me see if
that was right. Let's see Thursday and Friday. Yeah, Thursday
and Friday of next week, a lot of rain coming in.
If you live up in the Antelope Valley, our friends,
we have a lot of listeners who live up there
in Palmdale, Lancaster. Then to the east of that Apple Valley,
fifty five percent chance of rain on Thursday, thirty five
(13:40):
percent chants of rain on Friday. Then in Malibu, the coast,
Santa Monica, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, the whole beach area.
You're looking at rain on Thursday and Friday. Seventy percent
chance on Thursday, fifty percent chance on Friday of next week.
Speaker 11 (13:58):
We face down the threat of rain and mud slides.
It never stops by securing and placing more than seven
thousand feet of concrete barriers and six thousand sandbags in
the communities and bluffs.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
There were minor mud slides in the Palisades Fire Burn
area that kept public works crews busy. PCH was closed
due to the risk of mud and debris flow and
Caltrans posted on x this morning posted PCH was closed
due to the risk of mud and debrisflow and Caltrans.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I like that pronunciation.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm going to go with that now onkel transl.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Trans like TikTok.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, TikTok like big Bear. You know I love Big Bear.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Tiktokl trans cal Trans posted on X this morning saying
PCCh remains closed in both directions.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's gonna happen a lot over the next two years.
PCH would be closed, you know, every month or so
for you know, a week or weekend. They're going to
close that PCH a.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
Lot between Chatauqua Boulevard and Los Angeles and Carbon Beach
Terrace in Malibu until further notice. Charles Unis, a public
insurance adjuster, is working with a few dozen clients in
the Palisades burn area, and he says, with more rain
on the horizon, concerns are heightened.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, they're worried about culture.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
You know, the wildfire essentially de stabilized the hillside. All this,
all the brush and the trees that had deep roots
in the hellside now completely eliminated or almost eliminated, are
basically caused good cause and erosion to the hillside.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, we've got to.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Get those The landscaping has to be done immediately. They've
got to start two weeks ago, but they've got to
start with.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The landscaping immediately.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Get these trees back up, get the flowers, get the grass,
get the you know, whatever you got to you got
to put up there. We've got to start receding and
get the flat, get the plants up there immediately to
prevent this from happening over the next couple of years.
All Right, lots to do here in southern California. Lots
going on, and we're covering it all right here on
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
A six.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Forty one more story here, which is a cool story
about the fire. It's not fire related or clean up
or the mud slides. It's it's a feel good, heartwarming
story about Disneyland and their connection to these horrible, horrible fires.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
The Disneyland Resort is honoring heroes of the LA wildfires
with free park tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
How about that free park tickets for the heroes of
the fire.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Eligible California firefighters and LA based law enforcement personnel can
get two free one day park hopper tickets. The Heroes
tickets will be valid from May fifth through August seventh,
Mondays through Thursdays. Disneyland Resort says details on how to
register for the tickets will be communicated directly to qualifying fire,
(16:50):
police and sheriff's departments in April.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
So if you're a firefighter, you can slide in. Maybe
you qualify for the free one day two tickets.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I think it's two tickets park hoppers.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So those are those are valuable tickets, the park opper,
and you deserve it, so take advantage of it.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Don't feel like you know, oh, you never asked for
anything free. You know, anything free, just doing your job.
Put that in your back pocket. Go get the tickets.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Take your kid, take your wife, take your husband, take
your bed partner, take your I don't know, take a stranger.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Take me the helm.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
I'll go.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I'll go with a firefighter the helm. You know, we'll
have a good time. Ride the tea cups together, all right,
we had times.
Speaker 7 (17:34):
I love the tea cups.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Do they still have the tea cups?
Speaker 13 (17:37):
They have to. If they don't, I'm never going back.
But I got that thing, spinning man. Everybody else sat
back and I whipped it around.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Brother.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I like the tea cups. Right next to mister Toad's
Wild Ride.
Speaker 13 (17:49):
I like that right, Yes, that might be my second favorite.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Is it still there? Oh, that's great. I need that
to be there.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
I love that ride, mister Toad's Wild Ride to Throw Act.
I mean, you know, that thing looks like I could
have created it. You know, it's an old.
Speaker 13 (18:06):
That, hey, let's get together and make a show in
this in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah at this point, right, But I hope they don't
get rid of it because that that's like, uh, you know,
it's like singing antique.
Speaker 13 (18:17):
I think that's one of those rides that, you know,
even like surpasses, you know, small World, where everybody's just
that's like their favorite classic ride because it's one of
the more obscure ones that people just go, yeah, that's
I dig that miss too.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I mean, when you go to the NFL Hall of Fame,
you want to see Roger Staubag's jersey, you know, you
want to yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. You want to go
see Nostalgia and you can see it and ride it.
The people that first went to Disneyland were riding that exact,
exact same ride without almost any improvements to that ride,
Mister Toad's Wild Ride. I it seems to me like
(18:52):
that ride may have been untouched since Disneyland opened, and
I hope they don't touch it. I hope they keep
it the same way forever. That's a great ride, man,
mister Toad's Wild Ride, and I think they could just
change it to Mister Toad's Ride. I don't remember anything
wild about it, that's true. I mean the one hurky
jerky movement where you think you're gonna run to the
mirror and then you go boh left and there. Oh right,
(19:16):
not so wild? Yeah, so very very right. Okay, TJ Max.
Everybody knows my favorite store, TJ Max, So I'm going
to try to do everything it can to keep TJ
Max around.
Speaker 14 (19:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It's my second go to when I'm looking for fall
fashion or spring or winter clothing.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
My first one obviously CVS. Yes, yes, yes, yes, But.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
After CVS or CVS is sold out, which I quite
off an arm, I'll slide over to TJ Max and
throw some duds on old t bones.
Speaker 8 (19:47):
Well.
Speaker 15 (19:47):
Many US retailers aren't concerned about the Trump Administration's tariff plans,
TJ Max may end up benefiting from them. Unlike most
of its competitors, TJ Max imports only a small fraction
of its merchandise from overseas.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
That's why I go there, American American Man, American clothes.
Speaker 15 (20:03):
That's mostly because they make purchases of products that are
access from other designer brands after they have already arrived
here in the US.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, like fifteen years later. That's when they access.
Speaker 15 (20:15):
Them products that are access from other designer brands after
they have already arrived here in the US. Other retailers
say they will have to increase their prices to deal
with the impact of tariffs. President Donald Trump was set
to enact tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, but
put them on a month long pause.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh no, no tariffs on TJ eight ten percent tariff
on Chinese materials is now in effect.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
TJ Max is one of those stores where if you're
going to like a summer barbecue party that your friend
is having, like on the beach or something, and you
don't have any shorts or shirt for it, you'll slide
in TJ Max and look for something cheap to wear
to that party. Or if you're going to a Christmas
party and you have anything with Santa or Rootolph on it,
(21:00):
you'll go to TJ Max and they'll load you up.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They'll load you up, or if.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
I've ever stepped into a TJ Max?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Really what a snob?
Speaker 7 (21:07):
I was going to say the same thing California thing.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Right, I guess for California's scumbags.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Huh, I've never I've never seen one around me.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Wow, have you been in California eighty eight eighty eight years?
Never run into a TJ Max?
Speaker 13 (21:22):
I mean maybe maybe, like on the freeway, I see
the signs for him, but I definitely know how many
a year where I live?
Speaker 9 (21:26):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (21:27):
Sorry, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You're a different dude?
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, this is shocking. Yeah, you're banging you guys, the snobs,
not me.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You've been to Cole's sure, Yeah, I love Coles.
Speaker 13 (21:38):
Jen's one of those people that we walk in and
she's got the Coles cash thing and three hundred dollars
worth of stuff when it's forty bucks.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And obviously from what you're wearing, you've been to the
good Will? Smoke suh mo roasted smoked?
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Why are you knocking the good Will? Who's the stuck
up snob one?
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What about Mark?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
I was a snob?
Speaker 13 (21:58):
Oh, so I'm not just stop if.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Arm shot brood Will? Who's rod roasted?
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Snobbybstert has a thought.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
They get jacket back.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
It's kind of snobbing to be like, oh, I got
this a good will. I didn't say it, you know,
like going around telling like I have a friend like that.
Like you know, every time a guy like you see
the guy like a Laker game or something, he's like,
you know, I got here for five dollars. I didn't
even have to do it. It's hey, guys, you think
(22:35):
this is pretty nice good will? You're like those high
school chicks you used to go to ard Farks and Hermosa.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
To get the jeans.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, I'm really hip. I'm super hip. I buy everything
a good will. That's great, all right.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Why don't you be like every other kf I host
and just get all your clothes at.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Costo or CBS. But you don't use seeing.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Bill handling cargo shorts and a beautiful winter morning.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Hey, more importantly, did you get your jacket back? We
got a lot of people stole it. Where was it?
Speaker 8 (23:03):
Sharon Sharon's it's possible that Sharon misled us.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It's no kidding.
Speaker 7 (23:13):
Sharon and I were.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Sharing the mic like Bruce and Little Stevie, and then
she just tried to knock me out. Now things got
a little ugly. A lot of people were accused. I
accused Kate's who's like my closest friend here. Uh, I
accused Matt and then I couldn't but Matt wasn't here.
In the morning when it was returned.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It just appeared.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Well, I think it was a collaboration to embarrass me
between Michelle Cube and Sharon. I was looking wait, wait, wait,
that's my that's my I think that if there was
a nefarious if if there was foul play, I think
it was a Conway and Steckler like the kind of
tried to humiliate me and you'll get me off riled
(23:54):
up and show what an idiot I am. Like, let's
see how much we could push this. Idiots buttons, you know,
like my daughter and son.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I get it. I get it.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
And uh, if that happened, Okay, probably happened is that
I dropped the jacket and it was picked up by
Michelle Cube, put somewhere safe and then returned to me
this morning. Right, And but but steffuche was very much
accused because of his uh his eating of all the food.
And we said, well he eats all the food. You
(24:21):
know what would stop him from taking a jacket.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I had a jacket like that and I and I
took it to the one of these donation places after
the fire and they turned that down.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Well it's a jacket that Usually I get my things
online and they're ill fitting.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
But this jacket I bought.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
And I bought this jacket at a sale rock sale
rack in a sun Dance, the actual resort, not the
movie festival.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
And uh, what is so funny? Wait minute, you bought
you went to the sun Dance Resort. No, the resort,
Redfords Resort. Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Yeah, talk about a snob. You guys don't know what
it's like at Redford. If you, nobody of Redford would
kick your ass out. He'd see your Costco clothes.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I'll bet nobody at the at the at the Sundance
vessel has ever eaten that crap that Newman puts out
in the shelves.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Well it's a different Newman and red Light anyway.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
Uh, the point is this jacket is very much like
what John Rambo was wearing when he was a drifter.
And uh in First Blood, you know what I mean,
like going from place to place?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Why do you always have to have a story of
everything you wear? Why can't you just wear something? Why
is there always have to be background on it?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Well, I think it's important to tell a story. We
do radio, Okay, what else are we gonna do? All right, buddy,
you're the best. Can you come in or are you
just talking about I'm here right now? I know you're
floating around. Well, I'm actually on the air down the hall.

Otani's interpreter is going to jail, going to prison for
quite some time for a mischief making And.
Speaker 14 (27:44):
Just after that sentencing came down, there was a press
conference right outside the courthouse here behind me, where prosecutors
made it clear show hey, Otani is a victim in
all of this. They said this case is linked to
a separate ongoing investigation, but they would not elaborate rate
on that. That sentencing though again four years nine months
in federal prison for sho Heyo, Tani's former interpreter, and
