The Powerball jackpot has surged to a staggering $1.7 billion after yet another drawing produced no winner. Odds of winning sit at an astronomical 1 in 292 million, but that isnât stopping the frenzy. The last jackpot winner was all the way back on May 31, allowing the pot to snowball into near-record territory. While the current prize isnât the all-time high (a $2.04 billion jackpot in 2022 still holds the crown), itâs still enough to make history for whoever holds the winning ticket.Â
If someone strikes it lucky, theyâll have the choice between a lump sum of roughly $770 million before taxes or 29 annual payouts that total the full $1.7 billion. Itâs the kind of life-changing money that sparks endless imaginationâdream homes, sports teams, private islands, or never working another day in your life.Â
So, the question remains: how would you spend $1.7 billion?Â

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camf I AM six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Camf I AM six forty. It is the Conway Show.
It's Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
That means the National Football League begins to night tonight
and it doesn't end until February. So if you hate
the NFL, if you hate the in fact, your husband
watches these games every Thursday, Friday, College on Saturday, NFL
on Sunday and Monday, too bad. Too bad, You have
to live with it from now until late January early February.
(00:36):
This is our season and it starts tonight with Philadelphia
and Krozer's Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
All right, let's get into the lottery.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Nobody won last night, and so now the jackpot is
one point seven might even be one point eight million
dollars by Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And Alex Stone with ABC News is with us.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hi you bob, Yeah, bill billion dollars, yeah, million, seven billion?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I always say million.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I can't more than one. Put my head out of
a billion. It's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Billion dollars, one point seven a billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Did you buy tickets?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Not this go around yet, but I still have two
more days. It's not until Saturday.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Last night I had my ticket.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It didn't do anything that the time before that, I
won four dollars, so I'm a winner on that one.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Now let me let me give you a suggestion and
tell me what you think. I know there might be
lawsuits over it, but once it hits a billion, I
think they should cut it off and start using the
money that they raise for that billion to another pot,
to the second pot, and then that way the second
pot will grow up to a billion much faster. Okay,
that's one. That's one solution. The other one is once
(01:47):
it reaches a billion, sell tickets for a quarter so
guys that can't afford two bucks can get in on.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It to make it even cheaper. But this is a business.
They want the numbers to go up. That's why Mega
Millions went up to what five dollars a ticket, because
they want the pot to grow quicker. That This is
all about what is the record getting people to play?
People are playing like crazy right now Mega Millions that
they want to be over this amount so that you're
playing that game, not Powerball. The record for Powerball is
(02:14):
two point oh four billion, so they would love to
get over that. So then they say, now this is
the record and everybody's playing into it and money's being made,
so it's all about getting the the numbers bigger. I mean,
this is kind of like dumb money now, like it's
gonna mess up your life if you're not murdered for
it because all of a sudden you got a target
on your back.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Then that it gets to be so much money, it's
just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
But look, everybody that calls the Alex Stone phone number.
If you let's say you win on Saturday and you're
worth one point seven million dout of everywhere. Ye, but
doesn't everybody that call you, even like friends that say hey, congratulations,
don't they have a.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Dollar sign in their eyes?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh sure, yeah, and you wish that that nobody knew.
But California is one where you gotta your name is
going to go public because it's public records.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Okay, yeah, so so it's gonna be out.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Let me let me just tell you, if you do
win Saturday, I'm gonna call you to congratulate you, but
I don't want much money.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Well you know what, my fault number is not going
to work at that point, so good luck. I know
where you live, though, I'm gonna pop by with a
bunt cake. But that has nothing to do with money
I need. I just want to celebrate your win. You
just want to stop it, that's right, Yeah, like I
always do on you know, on Sundays.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Absolutely, But this.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Is this is crazy money and and I you know,
there's a breakdown on it with how much taxes you're
gonna have to pay. If you take the lump sum,
you're gonna walk away with about three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, and some states better than others.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Actually, California is a good one without paying taxes on
lottery winnings. Other states you gotta pay it. But yeah,
the lump sum would be around Wait but say that again.
I was unaware of that.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
What was that.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, California is one of the states where you don't
pay state income state tax.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
All those you buy it in California.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, if you buy it in California, O compared to
others where you're gonna have the federal tax and the
state tax on top of it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So if you lived in Arizona, Nevada, or or Oregon,
it'd be and as you live close, it makes sense
to jump over the border.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, and in Nevada, at least in the Vegas area,
they can't play it, so they have.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
To come over the border anyway. Oh really, you can't
play in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
That's why they've got the long lines always at the
border location there that that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Can dumb rules you have for this country, you know,
just so stupid.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Because they would compete with everything that they do there.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
But yeah, lump sum is would be around seven hundred
and seventy million, and then if you want the full
one point seven billion would you'd get the twenty nine
annual payments and it would be about fifty eight million
dollars a year for twenty nine years. But you know,
and all the experts say, no, take the lump sum
because then you can invest it and make more. You
also have the question of in twenty nine years, you
don't know what's going to go on in life. Maybe
(04:40):
you're not going to be alive any longer, so you
might as well take the money when you can enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But yeah, but it's but it's a million a week
if you take the check, you know, if you take
the payments.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah you can mad, you're right, Yeah, that'd be about
right about a million bucks a week. You know, there's
that seven eleven out in Chino Hills. We're in twenty sixteen.
Sebody won one point point six billion, and this has
become now the it's a haven Filado players to go there,
even to come from out of state. Oh, it's so
stupid because it's known as the lucky at seven eleven
in the world. And now my take on this is
(05:12):
if somebody won one point six billion dollars there, you're
not then going to turn around and win one point
seven billion dollars. It doesn't strike fud no, not at
that's seven eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But the reason why these like you know, the the
Bluebird liquor, the reason why they do well is because
they sell so many tickets.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Course it's a numbers game.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But typically most places it's going to be like, you know,
they've had a ten thousand, twenty five thousand, not a
one point six billion and then a one point seven billion.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
But here this lady, she's at that seven eleven.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I guess we've heard the hype about, you know, just
how lucky the story is.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
So we were driving by and I told her make
a U turn.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Let's go try our luck.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And it's been super busy. I covered that back in
twenty sixteen where they put us kind of inside the
story here. They put us on a jet that we
were going to cover anywhere in the US, wherever the
winner was, because that was the biggest effort that tack
that we were going to fly anywhere. Were Bank Airport
literally sitting on the jet way, and then the winter
(06:05):
came in and Chino Hills, Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
We had to get off the jet, get into our
own cars.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
We've been waiting at the private terminals and then that
was gonna be our only time ever flying private, and
got in our cars and drove to Chino Hills and
then had all night covering it in Gino.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You should haven't at least have flown you to you know,
I don't know, Palm Springs and driven from there as.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
We had ideas of like, oh, this is gonna be great.
We're gonna go to Hawaii, We're going yeah, we're gonna
be in New Orleans tonight. And they went, oh, there's
a winner, and we were okay, we're ready to go.
Where we got Chino Hills. That's so good. Screwed out
of a private plane trip because they thought, this is
the only way we're going to get you guys there
overnight is to go.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
We ended up in Chino Hills.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
How many were you on the plane?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
A bunch of five or six of us from different
stations from ABC. Yeah, for producers and camera crew and
everything else, and everybody was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
The only a happy one about that is probably like
Bob Iger, you know, it's like, oh, thank god, I
have to pay for that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
His plane was there as well. It was a little
bigger than our plane.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But buddy, I hope you win, and if you do,
I'll going to Santa Nita, right, That's right.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
We'll double it. It's Santa Anita, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But I appreciate you phoning, and let's let's try to
win this thing on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You got it, all right, thanks?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
One point seven billion dollars up for grabs this Saturday.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Crozier, are you gonna play? You're not a big lottery guy, right.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
I stopped last night on the way home, and you know,
I was a dastic and we saw how that worked
out because I'm here.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, all right, Robin, do you play?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Do you play the lottery or do you know what
that is the power ball I.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Do every once in a while, but yeah, when it's
like five bucks, you can cut me out.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Belly.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh, I know you're a player, and Bellio was constantly
banging on me to get these tickets.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You know, like, hey, am I part of your pool?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I know you have four guys you play in Burbank
and I what's percentage of that?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Tell you? I'm going to do you a solid if
I win.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm going to send a private jet to Denver, Colorado
to pick up your mom, your brothers, your aunts, your uncles,
your cousins, and they're all coming out here and living
with you in that in that town.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
They're in that home you have in Irvine.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Not need to do that, That's right, It is quite
all right.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I'm doing. That's what I'm doing. Carbal tickets, by the way,
are two dollars apiece.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know Robinson on the I mean, look,
we just did a whole story in it. You know,
she should come from the gym. She had a towel
around her neck when I when I started the gym.
Three house of casualness around here, you know what, I
(08:51):
just came from the gym okay, all right, Look it
doesn't look you're sporting that look with the towel around.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, got the look going angel. Angel.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
If if I win, I'm gonna I'm gonna buy three
pair of those sandals.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
WHOA, wow, you're so channering.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, but I'm looking for the little something something at
the checkout counter like ding dong and ten percent off
or something like that.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
You got it?
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Anything for you?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Still using my code? All right? There it is a
lottery talk.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
I hope you enjoyed that You're listening to Tim Conway
Junior on demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Michael Monks is with us. How you Bob, I'm good,
good afternoon to you. Tim.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Did you hit the Panda Express last night? I know
that you're standing a night out.
Speaker 10 (09:40):
We do typically have a Wednesday date night at the
Panda Express there in Westlake. But I told you yesterday
I'm a new man as of September one.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I needed to know. I'm exercising.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
I'm doing a lot more good stuff and so Panda's
not on the menu for that, right. They have some
good healthy options there, but we're cooking at home, right.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I've noticed just a about Panda I love it, but
they do try to upsell.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You at the end. They're relentless.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, and also stingy with the soy sauce though. You know,
if you, hey, can I get a soy sauce, They'll
give you one. How much do you need? I need
two or three packets. But also I noticed that halfway
through my panda meal, I sort of have to loosen
and retie my shoes because I'm getting a little swelling
down there. It's the salt. What's the salt delivery system?
I mean, that's all you're doing there is you're trying
(10:26):
to get enough salt in your body.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Have you been asked to leave for removing your shoes?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I no, I don't remove them. I on time and
time again. I'm not a My wife has never seen
my feet in my life. I wear my shoes by
the time from the time I get up until I
go to bed. I'm a shoes guy. That sounds romantic.
I don't do these socks in the house.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I don't know. I'm not that guy.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Shoes on the couch on the coffee table. Yes, really, yeah,
discuss they live up there. Bang bang, you know, just
cross them up. That's where they live all right. Before
we get to that, though, one more question about pandem.
I find that a Panda express there's about a five
degree difference between dishes, So I only want what's fresh,
(11:05):
because everything sort of tastes the same within about four
or five degrees.
Speaker 10 (11:08):
You're right, you know they had that fancy spicy orange
chicken that they were pushing recently.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Ye taste to me a lot like the classic orange chicken.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Right You can't. Well, that's when you know you've burned
out your taste.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Buzz. It's true. You know, you know what I mean.
It's true.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
You know my spouse is Latinos, so you know it's
quite possible that some poblano has gone a little too deep.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Okay, I don't know what that means, but i'll tell
you last during the break. Okay, So we got a
lawsuit here, but it's not with the Southern California Edison customers.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's with Southern California Edison themselves.
Speaker 10 (11:43):
Quite an announcement today from US Acting Attorney here in
the Central District of California, Bill a Sale two separate
lawsuits for the same reason starting massive wildfires, including the
Eaten fire that burned Alta, Dina, and part of Pasadena.
Earlier this year in January, we were anticipating perhaps he
might say something about the Palisades fire. No lawsuit about
(12:06):
the Palisades fire yet. I'll tell you a bit more
about that in a moment. This other lawsuit is related
to the Fairview fire. Do you remember that one? I
know they come and go so quickly, but this was
a big one. Back in twenty twenty two, Riverside County
burned about fourteen thousand acres in the San Bernardino National Forest,
killed a couple of people, also injured some firefighters. In
(12:28):
both of these cases, the Eton and the Fairview from
a few years ago, Bill Sale says that so Cal
Edison was negligent. They were not on top of their infrastructure,
and he believes it was this utility that sparked both
of those massive fires.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know, I think the Fairview fire was the one
that was threatening big Bear but never got there. I
think that was the fair I feel like big Bears
threatened a lot these fires. Yeah, and there's some pretty
massive ones, and it's the wildfires that we experience here
in southern California are often in areas like that they're big,
they're scary, and certainly people can be killed, people can
be threatened daring to evacuate, But very seldom over the
(13:07):
past hundred years have you seen fires come into major,
densely populated areas like we saw twice in January with
Eating fire in the Palisades fire.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, I mean that's true.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You know, it's normally up on the hills where nobody lives,
and you know, it was the craziest thing. And the
one thing I do remember about the fires on January
seventh is that we never got really a feel for
how bad it was because the President was in town
and we didn't have any coverage from the air. For
two reasons, the President was in town, Biden was in town,
(13:38):
and also it was windy as hell and a lot
of the helicopters couldn't fly, so we never got an
aerial view of what was going on.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
It was significant wind leading up to that. We're talking
about it for days. The other key component here, especially
related to the Eating fire and also the Palisades fire,
these are still very fresh. This was eight months ago.
You know, this was not that long ago. Eight months ago,
and people are wondering where the accountability is because when
you have that type of devastation and to see no
(14:08):
real consequences for anyone. The only person who's lost their
job was the fire chief in LA and some have
criticized that as being politically motivated. Sure, so this looks
like at least an effort by someone to bring some
semblance of accountability, at least for the Eaten Fire as
well as this fire from a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Well, I think California means in Spanish it translates to
no accountability. There wasn't any for the fire. There was
none for the thirty billion dollars was ripped off for
the unemployment department during COVID, the two billion dollars locally
here missing for homeless, the twenty five billion dollars state wise,
and nobody is ever accountable for anything in this state.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Well, this is what biliically says. Southern California. Edison will
be held accountable if the US government succeeds in court
for the Eaten fire alone, the US is seeking forty
million dollars in damages, and also for that fair fire
from a few years ago. The USC can recover approximately
thirty seven million dollars in damages, including twenty million dollars
(15:08):
in fire suppression costs. The main peace to those two fires.
It's not necessarily that the town of Altadena burned as
badly as it did. It's that the Angelus National Forest
was severely scorched and the San Bernino San Bernardino National
Forest was severely scorched, and those are owned by the
federal government.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I've lived in Ohio, Toronto, San Diego. I've been to
every state in the United States, by the way, I've
driven to across country several times, been every state. I
have never ever once seen heard are read of a
power company that causes so much damage and so much
fire as.
Speaker 10 (15:45):
S well, the one the challenge in California is the
conditions that we have here, the dry conditions, the type
of fuel you know, the word fuel as it applies
to what might be on the ground, and the way
it can burn. And when you have those, Santa Ana
wins come in. Not every state has those conditions to
where a wildfire can burn the way that they do here.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, I think we have to make those changes then,
you know, I mean, you know, they build homes in
Florida with stand hurricanes because they get hurricanes, we get
fires out here, and I don't think we've done We've
done great job with earthquake to earthquake proof homes, but
not fireproof.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
US Senator Adam Schiff told me recently about a piece
of legislation he has pushed forward where folks can get
federal tax rebates if this thing is a past and
adopted into law, if they agree to rebuild with more
materials that are resistant to fire.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I think it's still too late, though. I think we
should have done that forty years ago. Where were you then?
Forty years ago? What you were taking your shoes off
at the Panda spreads in nineteen eighty five? Was that
forty years ago?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Was it really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So in nineteen eighty five, I was driving limousine and
just coming off the Olympics in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
Four, and I was in missus Wattons Watson's kindergarten class
at Holy Named School in Louisville.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I would have been no help either. No, we wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
We're not the guys, No, not us, All right, monks,
Saturday seven to nine pm.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, sir, we'll talk about this and the rest.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, and then you and I will be want listening
to the Chargers Kansas City game tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
Yeah, you will, because you've got the day off. I
guess because of this, it's preempting your show tomorrow. I'm
going to it Chargers coverage starting right here on the
big KFI.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That's right, you're Home of the Chargers.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty belly.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Let me ask you something and Crozier Angel. Maybe you
guys have an opinion of this. I was a little
bit not stunned, but baffled. I rode up the elevator
today and there was a very nice Hispanic guy who
also rode the elevator with me. We're at elevator buddies
(17:53):
for a little while, and he got off before I did.
He got off on a floor before I did, and
I said a nice weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
He said, ah, you too.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I said, ah, thanks, And then he turned around and
looked me straight in the eye and did the double
up eyebrows like bing bang. You know, we raise your
eyebout broke both eyebrows twice. Maybe you can do that
in your car, and you know, if you're looking in
the rear of your mirror. That's what I saw and
bing bang. Oh yeah, Now I don't know what that means.
Here's what I here's what I think it means. I
(18:25):
think that he recognized my voice and that that meant
ding dong.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You have a new boyfriend. That's what that means. Is
that right?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Well, I mean it's my experience usually is when I
see those eyebrows do that in my head, I hear mm.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Hmm, really that's what I did that. But he was
a younger guy. I don't think that you.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Know, well, you know, you're very attractive.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Really all right, Well, maybe it's my shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
This shirt looks like I'm a an usher at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Maybe that's it.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I'm just scream at Ferals yeah right, or Ferreal's.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But I think I'm one straw hat away from an
ushert at Dodger Stadium. Okay, so I thought it meant
ding dong. But you think it's your hot like bang
bang yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Or maybe fu.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That could be with thing just different tone or see
you you know, see you man in my dream. Double
eyebrows up is a sign. I mean, look at it
was very purposeful. It wasn't casual. He turned around looked
me right now and bing bing?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
What did you do?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Back to the bing bing?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I gave him that heart you know where you do
your hands you make this heart shape. Yeah, I gave
him up. I get one of those, and I launched
it him twice. But wow, wow, I don't. I hope
I don't see him again.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
You will?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It was odd, all right?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
One point seven billion dollars is available this Saturday. Bellio
once it gets over a billion bangs on me all
the time. She texts me, Hey, I'm in on your tickets.
Are you going to get to is me?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And then I what do I say to you?
Speaker 5 (20:03):
You say to me?
Speaker 11 (20:04):
And I actually will read this because it's so rude.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
It's just like incredibly rude.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
I try to be so sweet to this man and
this is honestly everyone, it's it's worse than you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Let me go here.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'll tell you what it is. You have to look
for it. The more you text me, the less you get.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
And I said, oh really yeah, and you said really
And I said how you will? You use the word greatly?
And I said how greatly are we talking? And you
said it keeps going down with every text down, down,
And then I said I can't afford to keep texting,
and he wrote down.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Down again.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
And then today because we put a poll out on
X that asked, you know, if you're going to buy
a lottery ticket, if you do, or are you gonna
get the lumps or the annuity?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Would you give Uncle t Bones a taste?
Speaker 11 (21:03):
And he got like a huge percentage, And I asked,
would I get a percentage of that percentage?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You said no. You said, let's let's be factual here.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
If eleven percent would give you a taste, what is
my percent of your taste?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Asking for a friend? Is that what you wrote?
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Can I enter this into the into the file? Okay, yes,
exhibit A Okay, Then what did I send back to you?
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Then he takes a snapshot of previous conversation and circles.
It keeps going down with every text, and he says,
let's review.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
So it is kind of odd, odd behavior. I'll tell
you that. Let's do a whip around, quick whip around.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Since we don't have much time here to get into
some crazy news story. I counted every shirt that I
own for some reason, did a little inventory without t shirts.
I'm talking pullovers, you know, button downs, long sleeve, shorts, sleeve.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
How many shirts do you think I own? Robin? How
many shirts you think I own? Five? Five?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Not just the rotation one?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
No, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
No, she's actually pretty close Krozier. I'm gonna go a
dozen dozen, all right, belly.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
O, I think you have forty five.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Forty five Angel twenty seven, twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, Wow, man, that insult, Thank God almighty. I have
one hundred and fifty eight shirts.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
What WHOA?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I was so close?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah? Wow, closest one wrote by fifteen times, I have
a what happened? Then?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I know what you're asking. Why don't I wear any
other shirts? But exactly, I just don't. I don't like
to wear dark shirts. It makes me look pale. And
I've got a lot of dark shirts.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I have one hundred and fifty eight shirts, so I
gotta get rid of them and do I give them
to charity?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But I think you should wash them beef and GENC.
You kind of go, what the hell are you doing?
Yeah she did?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, Well, you know what I do is I space
my littlew CD with my shirts in my closet, I
put two fingers, then move a hanger over. Then two
fingers move a hangover, So every one of my shirts
is space by two fingers.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
How big is your closet? It's not that big.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
A lot of more folded well, I got, I got
it looks like a cleaner's. I got a button. They
go around rotation, but I got a lot of them
are folded up.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But I gotta get rid of them. You know, I
think you know in Europe.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I don't know if you Americans do this, but in
but Europeans you know what they do as they get older.
And I think this is very smart. And I don't
think we do it as Americans. But when you get
into your eighties or nineties in Europe and you feel
like your body's starting to fall apart, a lot of
the parents, a lot of the older people will get
rid of almost everything they own so the kids don't
(23:57):
have to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
And I think that's a great service. I've been doing that. Yeah,
I'm a great I agree with you crows, you know,
and I don't.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I don't mean I don't want to have a yard
sale or sell it on eb I just want to
get rid of it, so if anything happens to me
and my wife and daughter have to deal with it.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
I had a relative that did that and distributed a
lot of her jewelry and her real so she could
give them to the people she wanted to give them to.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Oh that's great, Yeah, that's really cool. I don't have
much jewelry. I don't know if I have any.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Well, I have that.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Well, what about your what about your waist chain?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I got my waist chain.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I got two of those ones, an S chain and
the other one's pooka. But you know what, the my
belly hair gets stuck in my puoka waist chain.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
H Sorry, what was that belly?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I just yeah, I got two waist chains and an
anklet and that's it. I don't have any rings or
you know, nose rings. I don't have any watches or anything.
But I got to I think getting rid of a
lot of stuff in life is healthy for you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think I'm going to do that this weekend. I'm
gonna get rid of five shirts. Go down to one
fifty three heavy. That's a good number.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Hey, there's a crash, a radical accident down in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Angel.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I'm sure you're on top of this in San Diago Canyon.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Is that the seventy four?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
No, No, the seventy four is here? Take a highway.
This is Santiago Canyon.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Remember when you.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Did the boy Scout jamboree thing out near Lake Airline.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Yes, yes, that's where Santiago Canyon.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Okay, all right, so that's closed thing because of a
radical accident.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Huh oh, it's terrible. It's just absolutely terrible.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
They've got both directions of Santiago Canyon closed as a
result of this wreck.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
We know.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
We just saw this live shot as well, and they've
extended the closure, so it's going to be off limits
for a little while. Let me see if the Highway
Patrol has updated anything here. It was a fatal wreck,
so there is an ongoing investigation. And at four fifteen
this afternoon, that's when they extended the closure for an
(26:08):
additional hour. So it might be close to my fifteen,
it might be a little longer. They may need a
little more time, but they'll let us know if they're
able to reopen Santiago Canyon or if it will remain
closed for the next while.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
All right, let us know, all right, thank you, Angel Martinez.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
You've got it.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I think going with her, all.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Right, I was.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I'm a news junkie. I watched two, four, five, seven,
nine eleven. All I do is record news, and it's
it's starting to wear on me, you know, because I
just see the same stories, you know, by different reporters.
But I can't. I'm addicted to local news. I know
all these people. I text some of them like a lunatic.
(26:49):
It's just I'm crazy, I am. And let's let me
let me play this real quickly for you, because I
don we have a big audience in Orange County and
that San Diago crash San Diego Canyon is a big deal.
Let me see if there's I know, Angel, just give
us some information. Let's see there's any more details from
(27:09):
high above it on Channel five, I believe.
Speaker 13 (27:11):
Yeah, this happened about one point fifteen this afternoon. Orange
County Fire got the call of a multi car accident
here on Santiago Canyon Road, just very close to Silverado
Canyon Road. As I zoom in, you'll see a tow
truck pulling away one of the vehicles. Here the vehicles
caught fire. In fact, that's the second vehicle right in
the center of your screen. You can't even tell it's
a vehicle there. And then a landscaping truck. That can
(27:33):
tell you that Orange County Fire Authority transported three people,
two adults in one minor to local hospital. Unfortunately, the
fourth person, an adult, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Now I could tell you that a siga ALRT has
been extended for at least another hour here on Santiago
Canyon Road as the investigation and cleanup is underway right now,
(27:54):
and it's likely it might take a little bit longer
than that. No traffic coming in either direction at this point,
you're gonna want to avoid Santiago Canyon at least for
the next two hours. That's the latest overhead up.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
All right, that's KTLA Channel five. But I think everybody
is probably like me. I think we're all in the
same group where if you're driving to Arizona or Nevada, Oregon,
and you're on one of these rural roads that are
two lanes, you know, one lane going north, the other
one going south or east west, and a truck is
coming towards you. I think you gripped the wheel extra
(28:27):
hard and you and you fade to the right to
give the truck some room. And then you think to yourself,
all you have to do is sneeze and you know,
and plow into that truck head on, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's a wrap on you.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
And I think a lot of people think the same
way when you're driving on you know, especially in Arizona,
where you can go one hundred miles on one of
these streets or one of these roads. They're just two lanes,
one going west, one going east or north south, and
and you think, to yourself, God, if that guy ever
(29:02):
came into my lane, it would be instantly over. And
I think that's what happened today on San Diego Canyon.
You know, somebody drifted into somebody's lane and it's over.
It can happen so quickly, especially with these trucks you
know that are going seventy seventy five miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know, they're long haulers. They want to get home
to their family. They've been driving truck for thirty years.
They're very safe at what they do. They know how
they can handle their truck. But all it takes is,
you know, like one one muscle cramp, you know, like ah,
or one sneeze or or you know, or one you know,
looking your at your phone for a second, and all
(29:42):
of a sudden you're in somebody else's lane and then
bang that head on collision with you going seventy five
miles an hour. They're going seventy five miles an hour.
That's like driving into a brick wall going at one
hundred and fifty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
You can't survive that. It's almost impossible to survive that.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
And that's what happened today on San Diego Canyon and
people that drive that road. There's a lot of turns,
a lot of blind curves on that road. Man, I
I it's just it's it's nerve wrecking, absolutely nerve wrecking.
All right, we got to take a break when we
come back. I was talking about local news. I got
a story here for you. Only one station got this
story right out of all the news stations. And I
(30:19):
thought that was odd, and I'm monitor I'm monitorting home.
I got a couple of TV set up. I tape two, four, seven,
five nine, eleven. I tape them all. I watch them
all night long. And that's all I do. All I
do is watch news, news and sports. That's the only
thing on my TV. I rarely watch anything else. There's
no movies, no TV shows. I don't watch friends, I
(30:40):
don't watch a Golmer pile. I don't watch any of
that stuff. I just watch news. And one station, Channel
four got this story right, and all the other stations
they didn't come back.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI Am six four
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's camf I AM six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Camf I AM six forty. It is the Conway Show.
It's Thursday.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
That means the National Football League begins to night tonight
and it doesn't end until February. So if you hate
the NFL, if you hate the in fact, your husband
watches these games every Thursday, Friday, College on Saturday, NFL
on Sunday and Monday, too bad. Too bad, You have
to live with it from now until late January early February.
(00:36):
This is our season and it starts tonight with Philadelphia
and Krozer's Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
All right, let's get into the lottery.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Nobody won last night, and so now the jackpot is
one point seven might even be one point eight million
dollars by Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And Alex Stone with ABC News is with us.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Hi you bob, Yeah, bill billion dollars, yeah, million, seven billion?
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I always say million.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I can't more than one. Put my head out of
a billion. It's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Billion dollars, one point seven a billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Did you buy tickets?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Not this go around yet, but I still have two
more days. It's not until Saturday.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Last night I had my ticket.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It didn't do anything that the time before that, I
won four dollars, so I'm a winner on that one.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Now let me let me give you a suggestion and
tell me what you think. I know there might be
lawsuits over it, but once it hits a billion, I
think they should cut it off and start using the
money that they raise for that billion to another pot,
to the second pot, and then that way the second
pot will grow up to a billion much faster. Okay,
that's one. That's one solution. The other one is once
(01:47):
it reaches a billion, sell tickets for a quarter so
guys that can't afford two bucks can get in on.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It to make it even cheaper. But this is a business.
They want the numbers to go up. That's why Mega
Millions went up to what five dollars a ticket, because
they want the pot to grow quicker. That This is
all about what is the record getting people to play?
People are playing like crazy right now Mega Millions that
they want to be over this amount so that you're
playing that game, not Powerball. The record for Powerball is
(02:14):
two point oh four billion, so they would love to
get over that. So then they say, now this is
the record and everybody's playing into it and money's being made,
so it's all about getting the the numbers bigger. I mean,
this is kind of like dumb money now, like it's
gonna mess up your life if you're not murdered for
it because all of a sudden you got a target
on your back.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Then that it gets to be so much money, it's
just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
But look, everybody that calls the Alex Stone phone number.
If you let's say you win on Saturday and you're
worth one point seven million dout of everywhere. Ye, but
doesn't everybody that call you, even like friends that say hey, congratulations,
don't they have a.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Dollar sign in their eyes?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh sure, yeah, and you wish that that nobody knew.
But California is one where you gotta your name is
going to go public because it's public records.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Okay, yeah, so so it's gonna be out.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Let me let me just tell you, if you do
win Saturday, I'm gonna call you to congratulate you, but
I don't want much money.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Well you know what, my fault number is not going
to work at that point, so good luck. I know
where you live, though, I'm gonna pop by with a
bunt cake. But that has nothing to do with money
I need. I just want to celebrate your win. You
just want to stop it, that's right, Yeah, like I
always do on you know, on Sundays.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Absolutely, But this.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Is this is crazy money and and I you know,
there's a breakdown on it with how much taxes you're
gonna have to pay. If you take the lump sum,
you're gonna walk away with about three hundred million dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, and some states better than others.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Actually, California is a good one without paying taxes on
lottery winnings. Other states you gotta pay it. But yeah,
the lump sum would be around Wait but say that again.
I was unaware of that.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
What was that.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, California is one of the states where you don't
pay state income state tax.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
All those you buy it in California.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, if you buy it in California, O compared to
others where you're gonna have the federal tax and the
state tax on top of it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So if you lived in Arizona, Nevada, or or Oregon,
it'd be and as you live close, it makes sense
to jump over the border.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, and in Nevada, at least in the Vegas area,
they can't play it, so they have.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
To come over the border anyway. Oh really, you can't
play in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
That's why they've got the long lines always at the
border location there that that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Can dumb rules you have for this country, you know,
just so stupid.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Because they would compete with everything that they do there.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
But yeah, lump sum is would be around seven hundred
and seventy million, and then if you want the full
one point seven billion would you'd get the twenty nine
annual payments and it would be about fifty eight million
dollars a year for twenty nine years. But you know,
and all the experts say, no, take the lump sum
because then you can invest it and make more. You
also have the question of in twenty nine years, you
don't know what's going to go on in life. Maybe
(04:40):
you're not going to be alive any longer, so you
might as well take the money when you can enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
But yeah, but it's but it's a million a week
if you take the check, you know, if you take
the payments.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Yeah you can mad, you're right, Yeah, that'd be about
right about a million bucks a week. You know, there's
that seven eleven out in Chino Hills. We're in twenty sixteen.
Sebody won one point point six billion, and this has
become now the it's a haven Filado players to go there,
even to come from out of state. Oh, it's so
stupid because it's known as the lucky at seven eleven
in the world. And now my take on this is
(05:12):
if somebody won one point six billion dollars there, you're
not then going to turn around and win one point
seven billion dollars. It doesn't strike fud no, not at
that's seven eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But the reason why these like you know, the the
Bluebird liquor, the reason why they do well is because
they sell so many tickets.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Course it's a numbers game.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
That is true.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But typically most places it's going to be like, you know,
they've had a ten thousand, twenty five thousand, not a
one point six billion and then a one point seven billion.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
But here this lady, she's at that seven eleven.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I guess we've heard the hype about, you know, just
how lucky the story is.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
So we were driving by and I told her make
a U turn.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Let's go try our luck.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And it's been super busy. I covered that back in
twenty sixteen where they put us kind of inside the
story here. They put us on a jet that we
were going to cover anywhere in the US, wherever the
winner was, because that was the biggest effort that tack
that we were going to fly anywhere. Were Bank Airport
literally sitting on the jet way, and then the winter
(06:05):
came in and Chino Hills, Are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (06:09):
We had to get off the jet, get into our
own cars.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
We've been waiting at the private terminals and then that
was gonna be our only time ever flying private, and
got in our cars and drove to Chino Hills and
then had all night covering it in Gino.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You should haven't at least have flown you to you know,
I don't know, Palm Springs and driven from there as.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
We had ideas of like, oh, this is gonna be great.
We're gonna go to Hawaii, We're going yeah, we're gonna
be in New Orleans tonight. And they went, oh, there's
a winner, and we were okay, we're ready to go.
Where we got Chino Hills. That's so good. Screwed out
of a private plane trip because they thought, this is
the only way we're going to get you guys there
overnight is to go.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
We ended up in Chino Hills.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
How many were you on the plane?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
A bunch of five or six of us from different
stations from ABC. Yeah, for producers and camera crew and
everything else, and everybody was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
The only a happy one about that is probably like
Bob Iger, you know, it's like, oh, thank god, I
have to pay for that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
His plane was there as well. It was a little
bigger than our plane.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But buddy, I hope you win, and if you do,
I'll going to Santa Nita, right, That's right.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
We'll double it. It's Santa Anita, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But I appreciate you phoning, and let's let's try to
win this thing on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You got it, all right, thanks?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
One point seven billion dollars up for grabs this Saturday.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Crozier, are you gonna play? You're not a big lottery guy, right.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
I stopped last night on the way home, and you know,
I was a dastic and we saw how that worked
out because I'm here.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, all right, Robin, do you play?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Do you play the lottery or do you know what
that is the power ball I.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Do every once in a while, but yeah, when it's
like five bucks, you can cut me out.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Belly.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh, I know you're a player, and Bellio was constantly
banging on me to get these tickets.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
You know, like, hey, am I part of your pool?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I know you have four guys you play in Burbank
and I what's percentage of that?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Tell you? I'm going to do you a solid if
I win.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm going to send a private jet to Denver, Colorado
to pick up your mom, your brothers, your aunts, your uncles,
your cousins, and they're all coming out here and living
with you in that in that town.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
They're in that home you have in Irvine.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Not need to do that, That's right, It is quite
all right.
Speaker 2 (08:26):

are two dollars apiece.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know Robinson on the I mean, look,
we just did a whole story in it. You know,
she should come from the gym. She had a towel
around her neck when I when I started the gym.
Three house of casualness around here, you know what, I
(08:51):
just came from the gym okay, all right, Look it

Anything for you?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Still using my code? All right? There it is a
lottery talk.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
I hope you enjoyed that You're listening to Tim Conway
Junior on demand from KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Michael Monks is with us. How you Bob, I'm good,
good afternoon to you. Tim.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Did you hit the Panda Express last night? I know
that you're standing a night out.
Speaker 10 (09:40):
We do typically have a Wednesday date night at the
Panda Express there in Westlake. But I told you yesterday
I'm a new man as of September one.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I needed to know. I'm exercising.
Speaker 10 (09:51):
I'm doing a lot more good stuff and so Panda's
not on the menu for that, right. They have some
good healthy options there, but we're cooking at home, right.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I've noticed just a about Panda I love it, but
they do try to upsell.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You at the end. They're relentless.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, and also stingy with the soy sauce though. You know,
if you, hey, can I get a soy sauce, They'll
give you one. How much do you need? I need
two or three packets. But also I noticed that halfway
through my panda meal, I sort of have to loosen
and retie my shoes because I'm getting a little swelling
down there. It's the salt. What's the salt delivery system?
I mean, that's all you're doing there is you're trying
(10:26):
to get enough salt in your body.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Have you been asked to leave for removing your shoes?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I no, I don't remove them. I on time and
time again. I'm not a My wife has never seen
my feet in my life. I wear my shoes by
the time from the time I get up until I
go to bed. I'm a shoes guy. That sounds romantic.
I don't do these socks in the house.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I don't know. I'm not that guy.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Shoes on the couch on the coffee table. Yes, really, yeah,
discuss they live up there. Bang bang, you know, just
cross them up. That's where they live all right. Before
we get to that, though, one more question about pandem.
I find that a Panda express there's about a five
degree difference between dishes, So I only want what's fresh,
(11:05):
because everything sort of tastes the same within about four
or five degrees.
Speaker 10 (11:08):
You're right, you know they had that fancy spicy orange
chicken that they were pushing recently.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Ye taste to me a lot like the classic orange chicken.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Right You can't. Well, that's when you know you've burned
out your taste.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Buzz. It's true. You know, you know what I mean.
It's true.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
You know my spouse is Latinos, so you know it's
quite possible that some poblano has gone a little too deep.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Okay, I don't know what that means, but i'll tell
you last during the break. Okay, So we got a
lawsuit here, but it's not with the Southern California Edison customers.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's with Southern California Edison themselves.
Speaker 10 (11:43):
Quite an announcement today from US Acting Attorney here in
the Central District of California, Bill a Sale two separate
lawsuits for the same reason starting massive wildfires, including the
Eaten fire that burned Alta, Dina, and part of Pasadena.
Earlier this year in January, we were anticipating perhaps he
might say something about the Palisades fire. No lawsuit about
(12:06):
the Palisades fire yet. I'll tell you a bit more
about that in a moment. This other lawsuit is related
to the Fairview fire. Do you remember that one? I
know they come and go so quickly, but this was
a big one. Back in twenty twenty two, Riverside County
burned about fourteen thousand acres in the San Bernardino National Forest,
killed a couple of people, also injured some firefighters. In
(12:28):
both of these cases, the Eton and the Fairview from
a few years ago, Bill Sale says that so Cal
Edison was negligent. They were not on top of their infrastructure,
and he believes it was this utility that sparked both
of those massive fires.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know, I think the Fairview fire was the one
that was threatening big Bear but never got there. I
think that was the fair I feel like big Bears
threatened a lot these fires. Yeah, and there's some pretty
massive ones, and it's the wildfires that we experience here
in southern California are often in areas like that they're big,
they're scary, and certainly people can be killed, people can
be threatened daring to evacuate, But very seldom over the
(13:07):
past hundred years have you seen fires come into major,
densely populated areas like we saw twice in January with
Eating fire in the Palisades fire.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, I mean that's true.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
You know, it's normally up on the hills where nobody lives,
and you know, it was the craziest thing. And the
one thing I do remember about the fires on January
seventh is that we never got really a feel for
how bad it was because the President was in town
and we didn't have any coverage from the air. For
two reasons, the President was in town, Biden was in town,
(13:38):
and also it was windy as hell and a lot
of the helicopters couldn't fly, so we never got an
aerial view of what was going on.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
It was significant wind leading up to that. We're talking
about it for days. The other key component here, especially
related to the Eating fire and also the Palisades fire,
these are still very fresh. This was eight months ago.
You know, this was not that long ago. Eight months ago,
and people are wondering where the accountability is because when
you have that type of devastation and to see no
(14:08):
real consequences for anyone. The only person who's lost their
job was the fire chief in LA and some have
criticized that as being politically motivated. Sure, so this looks
like at least an effort by someone to bring some
semblance of accountability, at least for the Eaten Fire as
well as this fire from a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Well, I think California means in Spanish it translates to
no accountability. There wasn't any for the fire. There was
none for the thirty billion dollars was ripped off for
the unemployment department during COVID, the two billion dollars locally
here missing for homeless, the twenty five billion dollars state wise,
and nobody is ever accountable for anything in this state.
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Well, this is what biliically says. Southern California. Edison will
be held accountable if the US government succeeds in court
for the Eaten fire alone, the US is seeking forty
million dollars in damages, and also for that fair fire
from a few years ago. The USC can recover approximately
thirty seven million dollars in damages, including twenty million dollars
(15:08):
in fire suppression costs. The main peace to those two fires.
It's not necessarily that the town of Altadena burned as
badly as it did. It's that the Angelus National Forest
was severely scorched and the San Bernino San Bernardino National
Forest was severely scorched, and those are owned by the
federal government.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I've lived in Ohio, Toronto, San Diego. I've been to
every state in the United States, by the way, I've
driven to across country several times, been every state. I
have never ever once seen heard are read of a
power company that causes so much damage and so much
fire as.
Speaker 10 (15:45):
S well, the one the challenge in California is the
conditions that we have here, the dry conditions, the type
of fuel you know, the word fuel as it applies
to what might be on the ground, and the way
it can burn. And when you have those, Santa Ana
wins come in. Not every state has those conditions to
where a wildfire can burn the way that they do here.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Well, I think we have to make those changes then,
you know, I mean, you know, they build homes in
Florida with stand hurricanes because they get hurricanes, we get
fires out here, and I don't think we've done We've
done great job with earthquake to earthquake proof homes, but
not fireproof.
Speaker 10 (16:20):
US Senator Adam Schiff told me recently about a piece
of legislation he has pushed forward where folks can get
federal tax rebates if this thing is a past and
adopted into law, if they agree to rebuild with more
materials that are resistant to fire.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I think it's still too late, though. I think we
should have done that forty years ago. Where were you then?
Forty years ago? What you were taking your shoes off
at the Panda spreads in nineteen eighty five? Was that
forty years ago?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Was it really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
So in nineteen eighty five, I was driving limousine and
just coming off the Olympics in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
Four, and I was in missus Wattons Watson's kindergarten class
at Holy Named School in Louisville.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I would have been no help either. No, we wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
We're not the guys, No, not us, All right, monks,
Saturday seven to nine pm.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, sir, we'll talk about this and the rest.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, and then you and I will be want listening
to the Chargers Kansas City game tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
Yeah, you will, because you've got the day off. I
guess because of this, it's preempting your show tomorrow. I'm
going to it Chargers coverage starting right here on the
big KFI.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
That's right, you're Home of the Chargers.
Speaker 9 (17:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty belly.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Let me ask you something and Crozier Angel. Maybe you
guys have an opinion of this. I was a little
bit not stunned, but baffled. I rode up the elevator
today and there was a very nice Hispanic guy who
also rode the elevator with me. We're at elevator buddies
(17:53):
for a little while, and he got off before I did.
He got off on a floor before I did, and
I said a nice weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
He said, ah, you too.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I said, ah, thanks, And then he turned around and
looked me straight in the eye and did the double
up eyebrows like bing bang. You know, we raise your
eyebout broke both eyebrows twice. Maybe you can do that
in your car, and you know, if you're looking in
the rear of your mirror. That's what I saw and
bing bang. Oh yeah, Now I don't know what that means.
Here's what I here's what I think it means. I
(18:25):
think that he recognized my voice and that that meant
ding dong.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You have a new boyfriend. That's what that means. Is
that right?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Well, I mean it's my experience usually is when I
see those eyebrows do that in my head, I hear mm.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Hmm, really that's what I did that. But he was
a younger guy. I don't think that you.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Know, well, you know, you're very attractive.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Really all right, Well, maybe it's my shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
This shirt looks like I'm a an usher at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Maybe that's it.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
I'm just scream at Ferals yeah right, or Ferreal's.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
But I think I'm one straw hat away from an
ushert at Dodger Stadium. Okay, so I thought it meant
ding dong. But you think it's your hot like bang
bang yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Or maybe fu.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That could be with thing just different tone or see
you you know, see you man in my dream. Double
eyebrows up is a sign. I mean, look at it
was very purposeful. It wasn't casual. He turned around looked
me right now and bing bing?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
What did you do?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Back to the bing bing?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I gave him that heart you know where you do
your hands you make this heart shape. Yeah, I gave
him up. I get one of those, and I launched
it him twice. But wow, wow, I don't. I hope
I don't see him again.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
You will?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
It was odd, all right?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
One point seven billion dollars is available this Saturday. Bellio
once it gets over a billion bangs on me all
the time. She texts me, Hey, I'm in on your tickets.
Are you going to get to is me?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
And then I what do I say to you?
Speaker 5 (20:03):
You say to me?
Speaker 11 (20:04):
And I actually will read this because it's so rude.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
It's just like incredibly rude.
Speaker 11 (20:12):
I try to be so sweet to this man and
this is honestly everyone, it's it's worse than you can imagine.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Let me go here.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'll tell you what it is. You have to look
for it. The more you text me, the less you get.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
And I said, oh really yeah, and you said really
And I said how you will? You use the word greatly?
And I said how greatly are we talking? And you
said it keeps going down with every text down, down,
And then I said I can't afford to keep texting,
and he wrote down.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Down again.
Speaker 12 (20:50):
And then today because we put a poll out on
X that asked, you know, if you're going to buy
a lottery ticket, if you do, or are you gonna
get the lumps or the annuity?
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Would you give Uncle t Bones a taste?
Speaker 11 (21:03):
And he got like a huge percentage, And I asked,
would I get a percentage of that percentage?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
No?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You said no. You said, let's let's be factual here.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
If eleven percent would give you a taste, what is
my percent of your taste?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Asking for a friend? Is that what you wrote?
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Can I enter this into the into the file? Okay, yes,
exhibit A Okay, Then what did I send back to you?
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Then he takes a snapshot of previous conversation and circles.
It keeps going down with every text, and he says,
let's review.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
So it is kind of odd, odd behavior. I'll tell
you that. Let's do a whip around, quick whip around.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Since we don't have much time here to get into
some crazy news story. I counted every shirt that I
own for some reason, did a little inventory without t shirts.
I'm talking pullovers, you know, button downs, long sleeve, shorts, sleeve.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
How many shirts do you think I own? Robin? How
many shirts you think I own? Five? Five?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Not just the rotation one?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
No, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
No, she's actually pretty close Krozier. I'm gonna go a
dozen dozen, all right, belly.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
O, I think you have forty five.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Forty five Angel twenty seven, twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, Wow, man, that insult, Thank God almighty. I have
one hundred and fifty eight shirts.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
What WHOA?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I was so close?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah? Wow, closest one wrote by fifteen times, I have
a what happened? Then?
Speaker 4 (22:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I know what you're asking. Why don't I wear any
other shirts? But exactly, I just don't. I don't like
to wear dark shirts. It makes me look pale. And
I've got a lot of dark shirts.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I have one hundred and fifty eight shirts, so I
gotta get rid of them and do I give them
to charity?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But I think you should wash them beef and GENC.
You kind of go, what the hell are you doing?
Yeah she did?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, Well, you know what I do is I space
my littlew CD with my shirts in my closet, I
put two fingers, then move a hanger over. Then two
fingers move a hangover, So every one of my shirts
is space by two fingers.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
How big is your closet? It's not that big.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
A lot of more folded well, I got, I got
it looks like a cleaner's. I got a button. They
go around rotation, but I got a lot of them
are folded up.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But I gotta get rid of them. You know, I
think you know in Europe.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I don't know if you Americans do this, but in
but Europeans you know what they do as they get older.
And I think this is very smart. And I don't
think we do it as Americans. But when you get
into your eighties or nineties in Europe and you feel
like your body's starting to fall apart, a lot of
the parents, a lot of the older people will get
rid of almost everything they own so the kids don't
(23:57):
have to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
And I think that's a great service. I've been doing that. Yeah,
I'm a great I agree with you crows, you know,
and I don't.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I don't mean I don't want to have a yard
sale or sell it on eb I just want to
get rid of it, so if anything happens to me
and my wife and daughter have to deal with it.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
I had a relative that did that and distributed a
lot of her jewelry and her real so she could
give them to the people she wanted to give them to.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Oh that's great, Yeah, that's really cool. I don't have
much jewelry. I don't know if I have any.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Well, I have that.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Well, what about your what about your waist chain?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I got my waist chain.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I got two of those ones, an S chain and
the other one's pooka. But you know what, the my
belly hair gets stuck in my puoka waist chain.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
H Sorry, what was that belly?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I just yeah, I got two waist chains and an
anklet and that's it. I don't have any rings or
you know, nose rings. I don't have any watches or anything.
But I got to I think getting rid of a
lot of stuff in life is healthy for you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I think I'm going to do that this weekend. I'm
gonna get rid of five shirts. Go down to one
fifty three heavy. That's a good number.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Hey, there's a crash, a radical accident down in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Angel.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I'm sure you're on top of this in San Diago Canyon.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Is that the seventy four?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
No, No, the seventy four is here? Take a highway.
This is Santiago Canyon.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Remember when you.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Did the boy Scout jamboree thing out near Lake Airline.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Yes, yes, that's where Santiago Canyon.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Okay, all right, so that's closed thing because of a
radical accident.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Huh oh, it's terrible. It's just absolutely terrible.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
They've got both directions of Santiago Canyon closed as a
result of this wreck.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
We know.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
We just saw this live shot as well, and they've
extended the closure, so it's going to be off limits
for a little while. Let me see if the Highway
Patrol has updated anything here. It was a fatal wreck,
so there is an ongoing investigation. And at four fifteen
this afternoon, that's when they extended the closure for an
(26:08):
additional hour. So it might be close to my fifteen,
it might be a little longer. They may need a
little more time, but they'll let us know if they're
able to reopen Santiago Canyon or if it will remain
closed for the next while.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
All right, let us know, all right, thank you, Angel Martinez.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
You've got it.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I think going with her, all.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Right, I was.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I'm a news junkie. I watched two, four, five, seven,
nine eleven. All I do is record news, and it's
it's starting to wear on me, you know, because I
just see the same stories, you know, by different reporters.
But I can't. I'm addicted to local news. I know
all these people. I text some of them like a lunatic.
(26:49):
It's just I'm crazy, I am. And let's let me
let me play this real quickly for you, because I
don we have a big audience in Orange County and
that San Diago crash San Diego Canyon is a big deal.
Let me see if there's I know, Angel, just give
us some information. Let's see there's any more details from
(27:09):
high above it on Channel five, I believe.
Speaker 13 (27:11):
Yeah, this happened about one point fifteen this afternoon. Orange
County Fire got the call of a multi car accident
here on Santiago Canyon Road, just very close to Silverado
Canyon Road. As I zoom in, you'll see a tow
truck pulling away one of the vehicles. Here the vehicles
caught fire. In fact, that's the second vehicle right in
the center of your screen. You can't even tell it's
a vehicle there. And then a landscaping truck. That can
(27:33):
tell you that Orange County Fire Authority transported three people,
two adults in one minor to local hospital. Unfortunately, the
fourth person, an adult, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Now I could tell you that a siga ALRT has
been extended for at least another hour here on Santiago
Canyon Road as the investigation and cleanup is underway right now,
(27:54):
and it's likely it might take a little bit longer
than that. No traffic coming in either direction at this point,
you're gonna want to avoid Santiago Canyon at least for
the next two hours. That's the latest overhead up.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
All right, that's KTLA Channel five. But I think everybody
is probably like me. I think we're all in the
same group where if you're driving to Arizona or Nevada, Oregon,
and you're on one of these rural roads that are
two lanes, you know, one lane going north, the other
one going south or east west, and a truck is
coming towards you. I think you gripped the wheel extra
(28:27):
hard and you and you fade to the right to
give the truck some room. And then you think to yourself,
all you have to do is sneeze and you know,
and plow into that truck head on, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
That's a wrap on you.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
And I think a lot of people think the same
way when you're driving on you know, especially in Arizona,
where you can go one hundred miles on one of
these streets or one of these roads. They're just two lanes,
one going west, one going east or north south, and
and you think, to yourself, God, if that guy ever
(29:02):
came into my lane, it would be instantly over. And
I think that's what happened today on San Diego Canyon.
You know, somebody drifted into somebody's lane and it's over.
It can happen so quickly, especially with these trucks you
know that are going seventy seventy five miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
You know, they're long haulers. They want to get home
to their family. They've been driving truck for thirty years.
They're very safe at what they do. They know how
they can handle their truck. But all it takes is,
you know, like one one muscle cramp, you know, like ah,
or one sneeze or or you know, or one you know,
looking your at your phone for a second, and all
(29:42):
of a sudden you're in somebody else's lane and then
bang that head on collision with you going seventy five
miles an hour. They're going seventy five miles an hour.
That's like driving into a brick wall going at one
hundred and fifty miles an hour.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
And that's what happened today on San Diego Canyon and
people that drive that road. There's a lot of turns,
a lot of blind curves on that road. Man, I
I it's just it's it's nerve wrecking, absolutely nerve wrecking.
All right, we got to take a break when we
come back. I was talking about local news. I got
a story here for you. Only one station got this
story right out of all the news stations. And I
(30:19):
thought that was odd, and I'm monitor I'm monitorting home.
I got a couple of TV set up. I tape two, four, seven,
five nine, eleven. I tape them all. I watch them
all night long. And that's all I do. All I
do is watch news, news and sports. That's the only
thing on my TV. I rarely watch anything else. There's
no movies, no TV shows. I don't watch friends, I
(30:40):
don't watch a Golmer pile. I don't watch any of
that stuff. I just watch news. And one station, Channel
four got this story right, and all the other stations
they didn't come back.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I'll tell you what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
