Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
A lot to a lot to cover here, we'll also
follow the All Star Game for you, so in case
you're not watching it like a lot of people. The
National League is being no hit in the third inning.
So I don't know if that's ever happened in an
All Star Game. If if at one side or the
(00:29):
other pitch to no hitter, maybe, but it seems improbable.
You know, you have on each team that the twenty
five best hitters in baseball, who would seem really sort
of odd. Plus, you don't get great pitchers in the
All Star Game anymore. All the great pitchers say no,
they don't want to burn their arm out for no reason.
(00:50):
So winning the World Series is important to a player.
Winning the World Series is not I mean, I'm sorry,
winning the All Star Game is not. Winning the World
Series extremely important. You know, you can't really at the
end of your career unless you won the final game
of the season. You don't feel like it's it's up
(01:13):
there with the greats. Like there are a couple of
guys who are some of the greatest basketball players in
the history of the NBA who don't have a ring,
and I think that bothers them, and I think that
that they you know, they obviously they wish they had one,
(01:34):
but it just never came together.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Charles Barkley is one of them who never got a ring.
As great as he was, he never got a ring
and one of the great basketball players of all time.
And I think he lives locally here. Reggie Miller didn't
have doesn't have a ring either. I think I'm pretty
sure that's that's correct. And I think they they think
that there's a piece missing in their career. If you
(01:59):
don't have, uh, you know, an NBA championship ring or
in hockey Stanley Cup or World Series or Super Bowl.
You know, I think you have to win the last
game of the season. And the only way you get
one of those championships is you have to win the
last game of the season. You have to be on
the winning team of the last game of the season,
(02:21):
and then you get a ring. And and if and
if you don't have one, I do think there's uh
they consider that to be something missing, something missing, all right,
Burbank Airport, there's a lot going on. There's not a
lot of heavy traffic, not a lot of you know, heavy,
heavy breaking news. I think we sort of, you know,
(02:43):
news comes in a pattern, and I think we sort
of burned out on on the news with the the
World Cup here. Uh, then you had the Boile Heights
building catch on fire, and then before that you had
the Garden Grove building about to explode. And now the
(03:03):
big story is Warner Brothers and Paramount Writers Guild is
suing to block the Paramount merger deal. And so we'll
get into that in a little bit. There are there's
a little development in boil Heights. The warehouse was sighted
for odors. Not nothing new, nothing shocking there coming from
the rotting food. And and then there's one one person
(03:28):
died too, missing after a boat sinks near the near Alcatraz.
So while those are you know, somewhat major stories, they're
not Boyle Heights level, you know, where everybody in the
city is choking to death because of fire that lasted
for eight days, eight days, And so lighter news, lighter news,
(03:51):
all right. Burbank Airport. I flew to Burbank on Sunday
coming back from Portland, Oregon, and I was not happy
with that landing. Man, I know the speed coming into Burbank,
and I know when that plane's going too fast. I
just sort of had that feeling. I've been flying in
at airport for sixty years, and I know when you're
(04:14):
coming in too fast. I'm one hundred percent sure that
that plane was coming in way too fast. And when
it did come in, it missed the first about twenty
five percent of that runway. And when you come into
Burbank Airport, that's a very very short runway and you
can't afford to miss much of that runway. And so
he slammed that plane down and came to a halt
(04:37):
at the end with I don't know how much room
to spare, but it didn't seem like a lot. Didn't
seem like much. And that's the first time in my
life that I nearly got emotional over becuse I was
sitting next to my daughter, and look, if I'm alone flying,
I could care less. You know, whatever happens that plane,
you know, it goes into the toilet, it goes into
(04:59):
a mountain, goes into the ocean. I got no control
over it, and I don't worry. But when I'm with
my daughter. I sort of panic, you know, for her,
because she's got a big, huge, hopefully great life in
front of her herself. But so the airport is under construction.
They're gonna have a new terminal one point three billion dollars.
(05:20):
It is going to be the premier airport in Los
Angeles perhaps for I don't know, five, ten, fifteen years.
I know a buddy of mine in Burbank, a guy
named Sean Murphy, hates when I talk about the Burbank Airport.
He wants to keep it our little secret and how
great it is. But it also raises the property value
(05:44):
in Burbank. When you have a state of the art, beautiful,
brand new airport within five minutes of your house, that's
a huge plus, especially if you do a lot of traveling.
You know, you're traveling businessman. I don't know if those
still exist.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
So they're gonna they're doing.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
They're gonna do like they did with Ontario, where the
old terminals just not going to exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They'll tear it down.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
They're just going to move it completely.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, I like that they're still having They're gonna still
going to have you walk on the tarmac to the
planes at Burbank.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, that was one of the that was one of
the things that the residents wanted to, you know, to
keep that sort of little nostalgia to it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah. I wish Ontario had done that. That would have been cool.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, I like that. I do like that. I like
going out of the runway. One of the reasons I
like going out of the runway is you get a
sense of how big and powerful those planes are you're
getting on. Yeah, yeah, it's something comforting sort of respect.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
That you get for what you're about to do.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And you can eyeball the guys putting the luggage in
so they're not half passing it right because you're next
to them, little head nod, Hey, yeah, you're standing here,
you're there.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
That's my bag, my bag. See those letters, that's my letters.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And then you also get a sense of how powerful
those jet engines are when when a plane comes in
while you're standing out there boarding yours. And I think
it's comforting to get a sense of how powerful and
how beautiful and how you know, all the redundancies on
safety on these Boeing planes. You know, to die in
a plane crash is really really rare. You have a
(07:14):
much better chance of dying about a million different ways.
You know, you have a much chance but much higher
like astronomically higher chance of dying. If you are elected
President of the United States, then you are flying in
an airplane like beyond belief, hundreds of times more if
you're elected President of the United States as opposed to
(07:38):
just flying around. But anyway, Burbank Airport's going to be
done soon, and man, is that beautiful. If you've ever
been to Portland, ortle On Portland or San Jose, it's
going to have that sort of vibe to it, sort
of a new age vibe by really spectacular, and it
is going to be It's going to also lure a
(07:58):
lot of people in to move to bank because you know,
when when we have a flight, you know, if we
were five seven minutes from the airport max and so
if I have a one o'clock flight, I'll sometimes leave
at twelve twelve fifteen if I'm not having if I
be luggage twelve fifteen and I get there and plenty
of time, I'm at the gate for ten to fifteen
(08:20):
minutes before board, sometimes twenty minutes. Oh here's a This
is a great example of how a Burbank Airport, and
how convenient is I was flying last week to Portland
with my daughter and we're going through TSA and I realized,
I just have my license, but I don't have the
(08:41):
forever license or the what is that called the where
you have that mark on your license, the real idea.
I don't have the real ID. I have a passport,
but I forgot it at home. So I jumped in
a cab, went home, came back and still had plenty
of time to go through TSA and set the gate
(09:03):
and wait for the plane to leave. That's how convenient
this airport is. A right let me, I think we
can do this here. We got down about a minute here.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
A few months, the Burbank Airport will reveal its new
one point three very millar terminal. The airport released a
couple of pictures showing the construction process progress. I should
say this was yesterday they showed these pictures. New terminal
will replace the two smaller concourses that have been used
for decades. This is the grand hall of the new
terminal that will feature fourteen food options, including a bar
(09:33):
with a big picture window view of the runways and
Verdugo Mountains. The new terminal will be about fifty percent
larger than the current two terminals. The new design cuts
the distance from the terminal's entrance to the farthest gate
by more than three hundred feet. It also increases the
distance between the terminal and nearest runway to about eight
hundred and eighty feet, which brings it into compliance with
(09:55):
FAA standards. The new terminal is set to open.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
October perfect October. What October thirteenth? And I phill oh,
she said, Cober October fifth. That's my daughter's birthday, thirteenth night,
and thirteenth is mine. How odd is that that she
goofed on those numbers. And one's my daughter's birthday and
one's mine. And this is our own Burbank Airport, Strange.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Strange is set to open October thirteenth. And I feel
like that happened quickly.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah right, yeah, much work. We've been a lot of things.
We do things. That is right, brand new, big ass
beautiful Burbank airport months away. So let's go Burbank Airport.
The only way to fly was that Western Airlines. I
think it was Western Airlines.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Culver City's been in the news lately. They don't want
the in and out there, and in and Out is
trying to fight that. There's a lot of customers, a
lot of people live in Culver City who enjoy those burgers, fries, milkshakes,
open late. They love in and out and Culver City
has a stick up there. Took us over that, So
they're fighting that, and that's the residence. Some residents are
(11:19):
fighting that, but there are more than some residents fighting
a new proposal for a bike lane in Culver City.
Culver City is a pretty bike friendly place. You know.
You've got Venice, that's another proposed bike lane they're going
to have there, but it's not Venice is so wide
(11:41):
that it's not going to bother a lot of people there.
And then you have the Bologna Creek that's not going
to bother anybody because there's no cars there. Just runs
like along the La River like we do in the
San Fernando Valley and that it only gets wiped out
when it rains and then you float out to Long Beach.
But there there's going to be there's a proposal that
(12:01):
everybody or a lot of people in Culver City can't
stand and they want this thing overturned. And it's on
Overland And when I read this last night, I thought
they meant Overlin at the ten Freeway, and I thought, well,
that's dumb, because you have to have an electric bike
to get up that hill. There's an awfully steep hill
(12:22):
when you're going northbound on Overland up towards the ten Freeway.
But I was mistaken. It's not. It's much further south.
It's from Culver Boulevard to the Bologna Creek bike path
and it runs right along the road there. And one
of the reasons they don't want it there they don't
want the bike path there is because you do have
(12:46):
a lot of businesses and you also have I believe
the plunges there and I have to look up where
the plunge is, but I think it's it would be
involved here. Let me look at it, MA, Yes, yeah,
the Plunge, which is their big public pool, Culver City's
(13:08):
public pool. I think it's a public A city pool
is there called the Plunge, and it's operated by the city,
Culver City, Parks, Recreation, Community Services Development and it opened
back way back way way way back in nineteen forty nine,
and they have swim lessons, adult exercise, lap swimming, recreational swim.
(13:31):
They got the whole deal there, and they're going to
eliminate a lot of parking spots for this bike path.
And the people in Culver City, they're not opposed to
a bike path going in the area, they just don't
want it on overland because of all the spots that
they'll be losing parking spots. So there's a fight in
(13:53):
city hall over this bike path.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
We support bicycle safety, but not at the expense of accessibility.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Culver City neighbors put on a dramatic show at Monday's
city council meeting.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Okay, now, see this fight is this is an odd
time for Culver City because the people fighting the bike
path are are longtime residents and people that go to
the pool and people use you know, the businesses there
and business owners there, and that's a different group that
are fighting the in and out burger. So there's two
(14:25):
separate groups of people there fighting city hall. One of
them don't want the bike path, that's one group, and
the other one doesn't want in and out. And that's
an entirely different group. There might be some crossover there,
but not much.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
These signatures demonstrate that this pro project does not have
the broad support from the community.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
The group Save Overland rolled out a scroll of signatures
from neighbors demanding cancel. Put appalls on this and one of.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The reasons why they don't want that bike path on
Culver between I'm sorry on Overland between Culver and then
south to Bologna Creek. There's also a lot of homes
and apartment buildings there and when you are an apartment building,
you know this, you can't have anybody over. Ever, if
you have an apartment in La because there's nowhere to park.
(15:12):
You know, you have a party of twenty people over
your apartment, half of them marking the show because they
can't find you parking, or they park like three miles away,
and they sort of, you know, blame that on you,
and you feel the sting of that. You know, they're like, oh,
we gotta get out of here. We park near lax
And and so there's a lot of reasons why they
don't want this.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
This bike path a two point five mile bicycle, pedestrian
sidewalk traffic project along Overland Avenue going south toward Fox Hills.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Overland is a major thoroughfare.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's right. She's right. She's not lying this woman. When
I used to drive limousine Overland every day when I
was on the West Side, I used Overland a lot,
and then when I worked at at MGM, I used it.
I used it when I worked over at in Beverly Hills,
when I worked for Paul Mazerski, I use Overland a lot,
(16:03):
especially if you're an uber driver, taxi driver, or limo driver.
That's the next great parallel to the four h five
when that's jammed. So she's right, she's right.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
Overland is a major thoroughfare, that's right.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
And they're going to be taking away all of the
parking on the left hand side at the west side
of the street, which means that's going to be in
front of the plot ex auditorium, that'll be in front
of the plants.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
Right.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Those are used, Those parking spots are used all of
the time.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
The city says impacted parking spots will be reallocated to
a connecting street less than a one minute walk away,
but the group doesn't buy that and has been protesting
the project at every council meeting since the start of
the new year. Around the same time, the first phase
of the one point two million dollar construction project was
approved by council.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
We're serious, We're not going away.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
In response, the city says it has conducted extensive community
outreach and input on the Better Overland project beginning back
in twenty twenty four. We appreciate the ongoing.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I like how they called that, they called the Better
Overland project. So it's harder to fight that, harder to
show up for that. We don't want it better. We
don't want better Overland. Oh no, what we do, but
it scro and I'm out of here, going to the plunge.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
We appreciate axiom that any political anything that's politically named,
whatever is named.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Just expected to do these cops.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's exactly right. Yeah, the lower tax propositions are always
a higher tax.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
We appreciate the ongoing engagement and continue to listen to
our community's thoughts. That includes neighbors who support the project.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, you know what, Culver City, The loud person wins
on that one. So keep showing up at those la
city meetings and loud. You gotta be loud. The one
thing you got going for yourself is that all the
people who work in La City Council, all the city
council members, they're all your neighbors, and your neighbors don't
(17:56):
want you to hate them, so you have some sway there,
So keep up the fight, if you know. Look, I
could care less about this, but I know you people
live in Culver City care and you got to be loud.
You got to be loud, and you got to be consistent.
You know, you got to show up at these meetings,
because we've did that. We've done that in Burbank where
we showed up about a cell tower that was going
(18:17):
to go up right across the street from a church
in the school, and we got one of these big,
you know, cell companies to change their mind and not
put that cell tower up, which I thought was great
idea at the time. You know, we won, and now
I can't get any cell service anywhere around my house.
So in the in the long term, I lost.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Major League Baseball All Star Game in Philadelphia is on
five seventy a m. Sports stock up for your memorial
Dave Barbecue with packs of Hoffey Premium beef francs and
bacon wrapped hot dogs for eight dollars and ninety nine
cents each with digital coupons at Smart and Final. So
(19:07):
go get sell some dogs, really good hot dogs. All right,
Let's talk about other food vegetables, fruit. A lot of
people say, a lot of people are running to the
can after they've consumed vegetables and fruit. I think it
all started in Michigan. Michigan has the biggest numbers. But
(19:29):
this is not good. This could wipe you out if
you're older, and be very uncomfortable if you're younger. But
no good, no good. And if you're eating dinner right now,
I apologize because there will be some graphic audio here
if that's possible.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
It could be a nasty bug. This infection which comes
from a microscopic parasite called cyclospora that infects humans through
contaminated produce, and it can those weeks of watery diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Sorry, sure, if you're eating what are you eating? Angel
nothing now? I did say, I apologize, sorry.
Speaker 12 (20:17):
And it can cause weeks of watery diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Sorry.
Speaker 12 (20:21):
The symptoms can be severe, but officials have not reported
any deaths. Still, there are things you can do to
protect yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now, look, weeks. I understand, you know, a twenty minute spell,
but weeks weeks of diarrhea, and diarrhea is hereditary. I
think a lot of people know that.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, it's you got it from your mom or dad.
It's generational her hereditary. Yeah, runs in your runs in
your jeans. I don't know why I bother.
Speaker 12 (20:54):
The nation's largest cyclosporiasis outbreak has reached California.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yay, you know what. I saw it a couple of
days ago, and they had the estates that were colored
in and where it affected the United States, and California
was not colored in, so we had zero cases. The
closest was Arizona. And I said to my wife, I
go watch watch this. In a day or two, California
will be consumed by this thing.
Speaker 12 (21:21):
The nation's largest scle.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Color did they use to color in the states that
had it?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
It was like a like a red, like a blood
redish brownish you know. It was you know, like a
fall brownish red leaf from a tree. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
The nation's largest cyclosporiasis outbreak has reached California.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
There we go. We're in kids.
Speaker 12 (21:43):
Health officials are reporting sporadic cases, possibly up to ten,
but it's difficult to track. The CDC is reporting about
eight hundred and forty cases nationwide, but Michigan's health department
is now reporting twenty six hundred cases and forty four hospitalizations.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Wait a minute, Wait minute, the numbers aren't not adding
up here. Kids, Let's go back and listen again. Let's
listen to this.
Speaker 12 (22:06):
The CDC is reporting about eight hundred and forty cases nationwide.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, eight hundred and forty cases nationwide. Well, I get
a pen out here. We're going to do some math
on the show. Which you say eight forty eight forty nationwide? Okay?
I think that's the number that they used.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
The CDC is reporting about eight hundred and forty cases nationwide.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Okay, eight forty nationwide. Let's move on.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
But Michigan's health department is now reporting twenty six hundred cases.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Twenty six hundred. Wow, so how isn't last I checked,
Michigan was part of the United States? So odd twenty
six hundred in Michigan and eight hundred and forty nationwide.
Somebody googed somebody goofed.
Speaker 12 (22:50):
But Michigan's Health Department is now reporting twenty six hundred
cases and forty four hospitalizations. Well, certain produce that grows
in the ground are usual cult where it's it's easy
for this parasite to thrive and stick. The lettuce, cilantro, raspberries,
and green onions.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Do you hear that? Those are the highest volume of
cases come from these fruits and vegetables thrive.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
And stick the lettuce cilantros.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
Were those tomatoes that Steckler, Oh.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, those were what did he call those things?
Black tomatoes? I think now there's a term for it
that he used. But we were we were in Venice
Beach also with Steckler, my old partner in Venice Beach.
Brown soiled tomatoes, I think what they were called. And
there were tomatoes growing wildly near a trash can, and
(23:43):
there was it was an alley, and they ripened and
they looked beautiful, and so I grabbed one. I said, oh,
I'm gonna take this home. This is a you know,
uh oh night soil tomatoes that's what it was. Oh yeah,
And I grabbed the tomato and Steckla said, no, no, no, Tim,
that's a night soil tomato. You don't want that. And
I'd never heard that term before him. I said, what's
a night soil tomato? And he said, well, the tomato
(24:06):
seed is one of the I think the only seed
or one of very few that survive the digestive track
of a human being. So somebody eats a tomato, then
they finish the tomato. Tomato runs through his system and it's,
(24:26):
you know, as it's the cans, time to you know,
get rid of the seeds. And if a homeless guy
does it near a trash can those seeds survive that
and they could grow again? And so they're called night
soil tomatoes. So if you see wild tomatoes rolling out there,
don't touch them.
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Then stick the lettuce, cilantro, raspberries, and green onions.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That's where the biggest one. Lettuce is a big culprit too. Lettuce.
Speaker 12 (24:49):
Doctor say, this parasite is resistant to chemicals, so vegetable
cleaning sprays won't work. What doctor say, This parasite is
resistant to chemicals, so vegetab cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
So because I cleaned lettuce today thinking I got all
of this off, and now they're telling me how it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 12 (25:08):
The advice is to rinse and scrub down your fruits
and veggies.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Okay, that's what I did. Good.
Speaker 12 (25:13):
You can also use soapy water and a vinegar water mix.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Okay, you have to do this. All you vegans out there,
all you vegetable freaks, you know, you people with the
berries buying a costco putting your own you know, you
know smoothies together. You have got to really wash your vegetables.
You don't want two weeks of radical diarrhea. It could
(25:38):
wipe you out. So I'm trying to save all of
our listeners past the word realm.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So a little clearer and clearing up This night soil
tomatoes we discovered during the break that night soil is
just a reference to human s and night. Yeah, so
night soil tomatoes are tomato seeds do survive the digestive
track of a human being. So do blackberries, raspberries and
(26:13):
papayas and but and and so. Human beings kill most
all other seeds when they eat them because of how
well we chew our food. One thing that separates us
from uh, you know fish and animals, because we really
do chew our food.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Well that's how so that's how so many foods produce
in general make it from geographic region to another because
they aren't digested by birds.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah right, yeah, right exactly. But you know, like whales,
they'll eat fish whole, you know, they're still alive. You
see alligators eat you know, other alligators alive or turtles whatever.
But we chew our food pretty well in this country
and around the world, and so a lot of the
seeds do not make it through. But look, you know,
(27:04):
we we have. We try to have a lot of
fun on the show. And and one of the reasons
I wanted to move back to evenings because I do
like the lighter side of news, not heavy politics and
you know, screaming all the time about life in la
I do enjoy listening to that, I just don't enjoy
doing it. But one of the one. But we occasionally
(27:26):
come across a story that's as important as if we're
doing morning drive or afternoon drive or middays, and this
is one of them. This is one of those stories
where you know, the food safety in this country is
is severely compromised, right, now, and it's in fruits and vegetables,
(27:47):
So it's affecting the people who are the healthiest amongst us.
You know, people are vegans or vegetarians or you know,
try not to eat a lot of meat. You're the
one that's going to be affected by this. And now,
I don't know how far you're going to take it.
You're going to ask them not to put lettuce on
your burger, or you know, maybe you're not going to
get the caesar salad.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I don't know. When you go to a restaurant, it's
it's going to be on your mind because this is
a severe ailment. It's two weeks of heavy duty duty.
Two weeks. Unless you go to a doctor and you
get a prescription, they could wipe that out a little quicker,
(28:28):
but you don't want that, and so you got to
be very careful until they get a handle on this.
You got to be very careful eating your fruits and vegetables.
All right, let's get back to this story here and
find out a little more information on how we can
all survive.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
You can also use soapy water and a vinegar water mix.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
There you go, Okay, that's a good tip, good tip.
Let me go back a little further and talk about
how we can clean vegetables better and we all can
survive this.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Doctor.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
One of the great things, Krozer. I don't know if
you read this about it, but I did a deep
dive on this last night. That it's not transmittable human
to human. Ah, So no masks, you know, no gloves,
no six feet We're not doing that again. Yeah, it's
not human to human at least they don't think it
(29:14):
is yet, right, but we still got ways to go.
Speaker 12 (29:17):
Doctor, say, this parasite is resistant to chemicals.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, resistant to chemicals. You cannot fight it with you know,
anti fungus or anti you know, virus or whatever. The
spray is.
Speaker 12 (29:29):
So vegetable cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Okay, I thought vegetable cleaning sprays were kind of weird anyway,
you know, just soap and water. I don't know why
people are getting vegetable cleaning sprays.
Speaker 12 (29:41):
So vegetable cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
They're not working on this thing.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
The advice is to rinse and scrub down your fruits
and veggies. You can also use soapy water and a
vinegar water mix. If you happen to get sick, it's
important to seek medical treatment because cyclospora is treated with
a specific antibiotic.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Okay, that is a great tip. Slide into your doctor
or urgent care. You know at first, you know, don't
go first sign. You know, if you had a crazy
meal and you're susceptible to the big D anyway, I
wouldn't wander in there on the first shot. I would
take a pause, and then you know, maybe it's day one,
(30:20):
day two, maybe day three, you slide in there. You know,
it's like I'm the outside wrapper of viagra. They said,
if you have the big E like in like it
sounds like election. If you have one of those for
four hours to go to the emergency room, I think
a lot of guys fudge that. I think you're looking
(30:42):
at some six hour guys, seven hours, seven days, seven years,
because that's not something you want to go in and
tell the er doctor. You know, by the way, quite
a brag, Quite a brag, you know.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
Now seven years.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh, you go in there, you go, hey, this has
been going on for seven days, and all the nurses
are like, whoa hello, And then you hear the nurses
in the background ding on. Oh yeah, yeah, thanks, thanks,
I appreciate.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
If you developed severe abdominal pain diarrhea, which many times
can be explosive.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Why do they have to get there? You know the
guy that sounds like he's on a coffee commercial from
the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Times can be explosive, or.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
He sounds like the guy running Fantasy Island, which is
the opposite of this. What's the guy montvan Riccardo? Yeah,
here's the Riccardo Montaban talking to you about diarrhea.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
Severe abdominal pain diarrhea, which many times can be explosive,
no vomiting fever, and.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It could also stain your corinthium leather.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
If you developed severe.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, the pain, the pain. Pain, Hey, the pain, the.
Speaker 13 (32:01):
Pain, severe abdominal pain diarrhea, yeah, smiles.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Pain, Yeah, hey boss, pain the pain, the pain, the pain,
the pain.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Diarrhea, which many times can be explosive, Oh my god,
no chavomiting fever. Seek medical attention. Typically this happens about
the week after ingesting.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Oh, oh my god. Oh so you don't know what
it is. It's a week after you had that Caesar salad,
and then back after the races.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Typically this happens about the week after ingesting. Oh no,
that's horrible the parasite. But it can happen somewhere between
three and ten days.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
The good news is that cyclosprises can't spread from person
to person.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Oh, they're okay. I was right, ding dong, ding dong.
I read that last time on one thirty in the morning,
and I did sort of the happy dance. I love that.
Not transmittable from human to human, So don't panic. No gloves, masks,
shields six feet apart, none to that.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
The good news is that cyclosporiasis can't spread from person
to person. At least there aren't any documented cases this outbreak.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I don't like that tag.
Speaker 12 (33:28):
At least there aren't any documented cases.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
What so it could we just haven't heard of it yet.
Speaker 12 (33:34):
At least there aren't any documented cases. This outbreak serves
as a reminder to practice good hygiene. Wash your hands
with soap and water. Alcohol cannot kill cyclospora. Again, the
best you can do is to scrub down your produce.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I wonder if you can see it. I wonder if
it looks like a worm.
Speaker 12 (33:51):
But don't panic. While this is the largest nationwide outbreak
we've had in years, these infections are very rare. Doctors
say you shouldn't avoid eating somemer because the health benefits
outweigh the wrists. Just be aware.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I don't like that.
Speaker 12 (34:06):
Just be aware.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Just be aware.
Speaker 12 (34:09):
Oh no, so vegetable cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
There, you go, all right. So, I don't know, I
don't know. I don't know what to tell you, you know,
sort of a stumped on this one. I washed I
bought lettuce today at the store, went home and washed
it to death, you know. I washed everything out of it,
the new tree and so everything. It was nothing left.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Bacon soda, Bacon soda, bacon soda.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Yeah, everything and everything with bagan so all produce and
even meat. I just soak it in in baking soda
and water and it revives all the produce, makes them
crunchy again.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Anything it's got, like like lettuce and stuff that's limp
kills everything revives it. Bacon soda is the savior.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You know what. My my wife's a big fan of
that time is it called under deck or deck below
or under below night soil, the night soil below deck,
all right, below deck. And she gave me a great
tip because we buy celery and it sits there for
a week and it goes limp. And so if you
cut off the bottom of it, you know, the bottom
(35:11):
of the stalk that big, you know, sort of half
baseball in the bottom, and then you stick it in
a mason jar or any kind of jar of water
and put it in the fridge. Man, you get fresh
celery every time.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
That's what I'm telling you is what Baconson does, the
exact same thing, and it's a hell of a lot
cheaper than any of those products.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I'm taking a pen out because I got to survive. Man,
I don't know. I don't know the diet. I don't
know the diet or the workout schedule where I can
handle this, you know this worm, I just don't. I'm
on the edge anyway. This is KFI.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
This has been the Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. There is live Join us on KFI AM
six forty weeknight six to ten pm Monday through Friday.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Dinged Wong with this app
It's k IF I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
A lot to a lot to cover here, we'll also
follow the All Star Game for you, so in case
you're not watching it like a lot of people. The
National League is being no hit in the third inning.
So I don't know if that's ever happened in an
All Star Game. If if at one side or the
(00:29):
other pitch to no hitter, maybe, but it seems improbable.
You know, you have on each team that the twenty
five best hitters in baseball, who would seem really sort
of odd. Plus, you don't get great pitchers in the
All Star Game anymore. All the great pitchers say no,
they don't want to burn their arm out for no reason.
(00:50):
So winning the World Series is important to a player.
Winning the World Series is not I mean, I'm sorry,
winning the All Star Game is not. Winning the World
Series extremely important. You know, you can't really at the
end of your career unless you won the final game
of the season. You don't feel like it's it's up
(01:13):
there with the greats. Like there are a couple of
guys who are some of the greatest basketball players in
the history of the NBA who don't have a ring,
and I think that bothers them, and I think that
that they you know, they obviously they wish they had one,
(01:34):
but it just never came together.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Charles Barkley is one of them who never got a ring.
As great as he was, he never got a ring
and one of the great basketball players of all time.
And I think he lives locally here. Reggie Miller didn't
have doesn't have a ring either. I think I'm pretty
sure that's that's correct. And I think they they think
that there's a piece missing in their career. If you
(01:59):
don't have, uh, you know, an NBA championship ring or
in hockey Stanley Cup or World Series or Super Bowl.
You know, I think you have to win the last
game of the season. And the only way you get
one of those championships is you have to win the
last game of the season. You have to be on
the winning team of the last game of the season,
(02:21):
and then you get a ring. And and if and
if you don't have one, I do think there's uh
they consider that to be something missing, something missing, all right,
Burbank Airport, there's a lot going on. There's not a
lot of heavy traffic, not a lot of you know, heavy,
heavy breaking news. I think we sort of, you know,
(02:43):
news comes in a pattern, and I think we sort
of burned out on on the news with the the
World Cup here. Uh, then you had the Boile Heights
building catch on fire, and then before that you had
the Garden Grove building about to explode. And now the
(03:03):
big story is Warner Brothers and Paramount Writers Guild is
suing to block the Paramount merger deal. And so we'll
get into that in a little bit. There are there's
a little development in boil Heights. The warehouse was sighted
for odors. Not nothing new, nothing shocking there coming from
the rotting food. And and then there's one one person
(03:28):
died too, missing after a boat sinks near the near Alcatraz.
So while those are you know, somewhat major stories, they're
not Boyle Heights level, you know, where everybody in the
city is choking to death because of fire that lasted
for eight days, eight days, And so lighter news, lighter news,
(03:51):
all right. Burbank Airport. I flew to Burbank on Sunday
coming back from Portland, Oregon, and I was not happy
with that landing. Man, I know the speed coming into Burbank,
and I know when that plane's going too fast. I
just sort of had that feeling. I've been flying in
at airport for sixty years, and I know when you're
(04:14):
coming in too fast. I'm one hundred percent sure that
that plane was coming in way too fast. And when
it did come in, it missed the first about twenty
five percent of that runway. And when you come into
Burbank Airport, that's a very very short runway and you
can't afford to miss much of that runway. And so
he slammed that plane down and came to a halt
(04:37):
at the end with I don't know how much room
to spare, but it didn't seem like a lot. Didn't
seem like much. And that's the first time in my
life that I nearly got emotional over becuse I was
sitting next to my daughter, and look, if I'm alone flying,
I could care less. You know, whatever happens that plane,
you know, it goes into the toilet, it goes into
(04:59):
a mountain, goes into the ocean. I got no control
over it, and I don't worry. But when I'm with
my daughter. I sort of panic, you know, for her,
because she's got a big, huge, hopefully great life in
front of her herself. But so the airport is under construction.
They're gonna have a new terminal one point three billion dollars.
(05:20):
It is going to be the premier airport in Los
Angeles perhaps for I don't know, five, ten, fifteen years.
I know a buddy of mine in Burbank, a guy
named Sean Murphy, hates when I talk about the Burbank Airport.
He wants to keep it our little secret and how
great it is. But it also raises the property value
(05:44):
in Burbank. When you have a state of the art, beautiful,
brand new airport within five minutes of your house, that's
a huge plus, especially if you do a lot of traveling.
You know, you're traveling businessman. I don't know if those
still exist.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
So they're gonna they're doing.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
They're gonna do like they did with Ontario, where the
old terminals just not going to exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They'll tear it down.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
They're just going to move it completely.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, I like that they're still having They're gonna still
going to have you walk on the tarmac to the
planes at Burbank.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, that was one of the that was one of
the things that the residents wanted to, you know, to
keep that sort of little nostalgia to it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah. I wish Ontario had done that. That would have been cool.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, I like that. I do like that. I like
going out of the runway. One of the reasons I
like going out of the runway is you get a
sense of how big and powerful those planes are you're
getting on. Yeah, yeah, it's something comforting sort of respect.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
That you get for what you're about to do.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And you can eyeball the guys putting the luggage in
so they're not half passing it right because you're next
to them, little head nod, Hey, yeah, you're standing here,
you're there.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
That's my bag, my bag. See those letters, that's my letters.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And then you also get a sense of how powerful
those jet engines are when when a plane comes in
while you're standing out there boarding yours. And I think
it's comforting to get a sense of how powerful and
how beautiful and how you know, all the redundancies on
safety on these Boeing planes. You know, to die in
a plane crash is really really rare. You have a
(07:14):
much better chance of dying about a million different ways.
You know, you have a much chance but much higher
like astronomically higher chance of dying. If you are elected
President of the United States, then you are flying in
an airplane like beyond belief, hundreds of times more if
you're elected President of the United States as opposed to
(07:38):
just flying around. But anyway, Burbank Airport's going to be
done soon, and man, is that beautiful. If you've ever
been to Portland, ortle On Portland or San Jose, it's
going to have that sort of vibe to it, sort
of a new age vibe by really spectacular, and it
is going to be It's going to also lure a
(07:58):
lot of people in to move to bank because you know,
when when we have a flight, you know, if we
were five seven minutes from the airport max and so
if I have a one o'clock flight, I'll sometimes leave
at twelve twelve fifteen if I'm not having if I
be luggage twelve fifteen and I get there and plenty
of time, I'm at the gate for ten to fifteen
(08:20):
minutes before board, sometimes twenty minutes. Oh here's a This
is a great example of how a Burbank Airport, and
how convenient is I was flying last week to Portland
with my daughter and we're going through TSA and I realized,
I just have my license, but I don't have the
(08:41):
forever license or the what is that called the where
you have that mark on your license, the real idea.
I don't have the real ID. I have a passport,
but I forgot it at home. So I jumped in
a cab, went home, came back and still had plenty
of time to go through TSA and set the gate
(09:03):
and wait for the plane to leave. That's how convenient
this airport is. A right let me, I think we
can do this here. We got down about a minute here.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
A few months, the Burbank Airport will reveal its new
one point three very millar terminal. The airport released a
couple of pictures showing the construction process progress. I should
say this was yesterday they showed these pictures. New terminal
will replace the two smaller concourses that have been used
for decades. This is the grand hall of the new
terminal that will feature fourteen food options, including a bar
(09:33):
with a big picture window view of the runways and
Verdugo Mountains. The new terminal will be about fifty percent
larger than the current two terminals. The new design cuts
the distance from the terminal's entrance to the farthest gate
by more than three hundred feet. It also increases the
distance between the terminal and nearest runway to about eight
hundred and eighty feet, which brings it into compliance with
(09:55):
FAA standards. The new terminal is set to open.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
October perfect October. What October thirteenth? And I phill oh,
she said, Cober October fifth. That's my daughter's birthday, thirteenth night,
and thirteenth is mine. How odd is that that she
goofed on those numbers. And one's my daughter's birthday and
one's mine. And this is our own Burbank Airport, Strange.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Strange is set to open October thirteenth. And I feel
like that happened quickly.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah right, yeah, much work. We've been a lot of things.
We do things. That is right, brand new, big ass
beautiful Burbank airport months away. So let's go Burbank Airport.
The only way to fly was that Western Airlines. I
think it was Western Airlines.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Culver City's been in the news lately. They don't want
the in and out there, and in and Out is
trying to fight that. There's a lot of customers, a
lot of people live in Culver City who enjoy those burgers, fries, milkshakes,
open late. They love in and out and Culver City
has a stick up there. Took us over that, So
they're fighting that, and that's the residence. Some residents are
(11:19):
fighting that, but there are more than some residents fighting
a new proposal for a bike lane in Culver City.
Culver City is a pretty bike friendly place. You know.
You've got Venice, that's another proposed bike lane they're going
to have there, but it's not Venice is so wide
(11:41):
that it's not going to bother a lot of people there.
And then you have the Bologna Creek that's not going
to bother anybody because there's no cars there. Just runs
like along the La River like we do in the
San Fernando Valley and that it only gets wiped out
when it rains and then you float out to Long Beach.
But there there's going to be there's a proposal that
(12:01):
everybody or a lot of people in Culver City can't
stand and they want this thing overturned. And it's on
Overland And when I read this last night, I thought
they meant Overlin at the ten Freeway, and I thought, well,
that's dumb, because you have to have an electric bike
to get up that hill. There's an awfully steep hill
(12:22):
when you're going northbound on Overland up towards the ten Freeway.
But I was mistaken. It's not. It's much further south.
It's from Culver Boulevard to the Bologna Creek bike path
and it runs right along the road there. And one
of the reasons they don't want it there they don't
want the bike path there is because you do have
(12:46):
a lot of businesses and you also have I believe
the plunges there and I have to look up where
the plunge is, but I think it's it would be
involved here. Let me look at it, MA, Yes, yeah,
the Plunge, which is their big public pool, Culver City's
(13:08):
public pool. I think it's a public A city pool
is there called the Plunge, and it's operated by the city,
Culver City, Parks, Recreation, Community Services Development and it opened
back way back way way way back in nineteen forty nine,
and they have swim lessons, adult exercise, lap swimming, recreational swim.
(13:31):
They got the whole deal there, and they're going to
eliminate a lot of parking spots for this bike path.
And the people in Culver City, they're not opposed to
a bike path going in the area, they just don't
want it on overland because of all the spots that
they'll be losing parking spots. So there's a fight in
(13:53):
city hall over this bike path.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
We support bicycle safety, but not at the expense of accessibility.
Speaker 9 (13:59):
Culver City neighbors put on a dramatic show at Monday's
city council meeting.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Okay, now, see this fight is this is an odd
time for Culver City because the people fighting the bike
path are are longtime residents and people that go to
the pool and people use you know, the businesses there
and business owners there, and that's a different group that
are fighting the in and out burger. So there's two
(14:25):
separate groups of people there fighting city hall. One of
them don't want the bike path, that's one group, and
the other one doesn't want in and out. And that's
an entirely different group. There might be some crossover there,
but not much.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
These signatures demonstrate that this pro project does not have
the broad support from the community.
Speaker 9 (14:44):
The group Save Overland rolled out a scroll of signatures
from neighbors demanding cancel. Put appalls on this and one of.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The reasons why they don't want that bike path on
Culver between I'm sorry on Overland between Culver and then
south to Bologna Creek. There's also a lot of homes
and apartment buildings there and when you are an apartment building,
you know this, you can't have anybody over. Ever, if
you have an apartment in La because there's nowhere to park.
(15:12):
You know, you have a party of twenty people over
your apartment, half of them marking the show because they
can't find you parking, or they park like three miles away,
and they sort of, you know, blame that on you,
and you feel the sting of that. You know, they're like, oh,
we gotta get out of here. We park near lax
And and so there's a lot of reasons why they
don't want this.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
This bike path a two point five mile bicycle, pedestrian
sidewalk traffic project along Overland Avenue going south toward Fox Hills.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Overland is a major thoroughfare.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That's right. She's right. She's not lying this woman. When
I used to drive limousine Overland every day when I
was on the West Side, I used Overland a lot,
and then when I worked at at MGM, I used it.
I used it when I worked over at in Beverly Hills,
when I worked for Paul Mazerski, I use Overland a lot,
(16:03):
especially if you're an uber driver, taxi driver, or limo driver.
That's the next great parallel to the four h five
when that's jammed. So she's right, she's right.
Speaker 10 (16:14):
Overland is a major thoroughfare, that's right.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
And they're going to be taking away all of the
parking on the left hand side at the west side
of the street, which means that's going to be in
front of the plot ex auditorium, that'll be in front
of the plants.
Speaker 7 (16:27):
Right.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Those are used, Those parking spots are used all of
the time.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
The city says impacted parking spots will be reallocated to
a connecting street less than a one minute walk away,
but the group doesn't buy that and has been protesting
the project at every council meeting since the start of
the new year. Around the same time, the first phase
of the one point two million dollar construction project was
approved by council.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
We're serious, We're not going away.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
In response, the city says it has conducted extensive community
outreach and input on the Better Overland project beginning back
in twenty twenty four. We appreciate the ongoing.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I like how they called that, they called the Better
Overland project. So it's harder to fight that, harder to
show up for that. We don't want it better. We
don't want better Overland. Oh no, what we do, but
it scro and I'm out of here, going to the plunge.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
We appreciate axiom that any political anything that's politically named,
whatever is named.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Just expected to do these cops.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's exactly right. Yeah, the lower tax propositions are always
a higher tax.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
We appreciate the ongoing engagement and continue to listen to
our community's thoughts. That includes neighbors who support the project.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Yeah, you know what, Culver City, The loud person wins
on that one. So keep showing up at those la
city meetings and loud. You gotta be loud. The one
thing you got going for yourself is that all the
people who work in La City Council, all the city
council members, they're all your neighbors, and your neighbors don't
(17:56):
want you to hate them, so you have some sway there,
So keep up the fight, if you know. Look, I
could care less about this, but I know you people
live in Culver City care and you got to be loud.
You got to be loud, and you got to be consistent.
You know, you got to show up at these meetings,
because we've did that. We've done that in Burbank where
we showed up about a cell tower that was going
(18:17):
to go up right across the street from a church
in the school, and we got one of these big,
you know, cell companies to change their mind and not
put that cell tower up, which I thought was great
idea at the time. You know, we won, and now
I can't get any cell service anywhere around my house.
So in the in the long term, I lost.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Major League Baseball All Star Game in Philadelphia is on
five seventy a m. Sports stock up for your memorial
Dave Barbecue with packs of Hoffey Premium beef francs and
bacon wrapped hot dogs for eight dollars and ninety nine
cents each with digital coupons at Smart and Final. So
(19:07):
go get sell some dogs, really good hot dogs. All right,
Let's talk about other food vegetables, fruit. A lot of
people say, a lot of people are running to the
can after they've consumed vegetables and fruit. I think it
all started in Michigan. Michigan has the biggest numbers. But
(19:29):
this is not good. This could wipe you out if
you're older, and be very uncomfortable if you're younger. But
no good, no good. And if you're eating dinner right now,
I apologize because there will be some graphic audio here
if that's possible.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
It could be a nasty bug. This infection which comes
from a microscopic parasite called cyclospora that infects humans through
contaminated produce, and it can those weeks of watery diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Sorry, sure, if you're eating what are you eating? Angel
nothing now? I did say, I apologize, sorry.
Speaker 12 (20:17):
And it can cause weeks of watery diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Sorry.
Speaker 12 (20:21):
The symptoms can be severe, but officials have not reported
any deaths. Still, there are things you can do to
protect yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Now, look, weeks. I understand, you know, a twenty minute spell,
but weeks weeks of diarrhea, and diarrhea is hereditary. I
think a lot of people know that.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, it's you got it from your mom or dad.
It's generational her hereditary. Yeah, runs in your runs in
your jeans. I don't know why I bother.
Speaker 12 (20:54):
The nation's largest cyclosporiasis outbreak has reached California.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yay, you know what. I saw it a couple of
days ago, and they had the estates that were colored
in and where it affected the United States, and California
was not colored in, so we had zero cases. The
closest was Arizona. And I said to my wife, I
go watch watch this. In a day or two, California
will be consumed by this thing.
Speaker 12 (21:21):
The nation's largest scle.
Speaker 10 (21:23):
Color did they use to color in the states that
had it?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
It was like a like a red, like a blood
redish brownish you know. It was you know, like a
fall brownish red leaf from a tree. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
The nation's largest cyclosporiasis outbreak has reached California.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
There we go. We're in kids.
Speaker 12 (21:43):
Health officials are reporting sporadic cases, possibly up to ten,
but it's difficult to track. The CDC is reporting about
eight hundred and forty cases nationwide, but Michigan's health department
is now reporting twenty six hundred cases and forty four hospitalizations.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Wait a minute, Wait minute, the numbers aren't not adding
up here. Kids, Let's go back and listen again. Let's
listen to this.
Speaker 12 (22:06):
The CDC is reporting about eight hundred and forty cases nationwide.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, eight hundred and forty cases nationwide. Well, I get
a pen out here. We're going to do some math
on the show. Which you say eight forty eight forty nationwide? Okay?
I think that's the number that they used.
Speaker 12 (22:23):
The CDC is reporting about eight hundred and forty cases nationwide.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Okay, eight forty nationwide. Let's move on.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
But Michigan's health department is now reporting twenty six hundred cases.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Twenty six hundred. Wow, so how isn't last I checked,
Michigan was part of the United States? So odd twenty
six hundred in Michigan and eight hundred and forty nationwide.
Somebody googed somebody goofed.
Speaker 12 (22:50):
But Michigan's Health Department is now reporting twenty six hundred
cases and forty four hospitalizations. Well, certain produce that grows
in the ground are usual cult where it's it's easy
for this parasite to thrive and stick. The lettuce, cilantro, raspberries,
and green onions.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Do you hear that? Those are the highest volume of
cases come from these fruits and vegetables thrive.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
And stick the lettuce cilantros.
Speaker 10 (23:15):
Were those tomatoes that Steckler, Oh.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, those were what did he call those things?
Black tomatoes? I think now there's a term for it
that he used. But we were we were in Venice
Beach also with Steckler, my old partner in Venice Beach.
Brown soiled tomatoes, I think what they were called. And
there were tomatoes growing wildly near a trash can, and
(23:43):
there was it was an alley, and they ripened and
they looked beautiful, and so I grabbed one. I said, oh,
I'm gonna take this home. This is a you know,
uh oh night soil tomatoes that's what it was. Oh yeah,
And I grabbed the tomato and Steckla said, no, no, no, Tim,
that's a night soil tomato. You don't want that. And
I'd never heard that term before him. I said, what's
a night soil tomato? And he said, well, the tomato
(24:06):
seed is one of the I think the only seed
or one of very few that survive the digestive track
of a human being. So somebody eats a tomato, then
they finish the tomato. Tomato runs through his system and it's,
(24:26):
you know, as it's the cans, time to you know,
get rid of the seeds. And if a homeless guy
does it near a trash can those seeds survive that
and they could grow again? And so they're called night
soil tomatoes. So if you see wild tomatoes rolling out there,
don't touch them.
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Then stick the lettuce, cilantro, raspberries, and green onions.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
That's where the biggest one. Lettuce is a big culprit too. Lettuce.
Speaker 12 (24:49):
Doctor say, this parasite is resistant to chemicals, so vegetable
cleaning sprays won't work. What doctor say, This parasite is
resistant to chemicals, so vegetab cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
So because I cleaned lettuce today thinking I got all
of this off, and now they're telling me how it
doesn't matter.
Speaker 12 (25:08):
The advice is to rinse and scrub down your fruits
and veggies.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Okay, that's what I did. Good.
Speaker 12 (25:13):
You can also use soapy water and a vinegar water mix.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Okay, you have to do this. All you vegans out there,
all you vegetable freaks, you know, you people with the
berries buying a costco putting your own you know, you
know smoothies together. You have got to really wash your vegetables.
You don't want two weeks of radical diarrhea. It could
(25:38):
wipe you out. So I'm trying to save all of
our listeners past the word realm.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So a little clearer and clearing up This night soil
tomatoes we discovered during the break that night soil is
just a reference to human s and night. Yeah, so
night soil tomatoes are tomato seeds do survive the digestive
track of a human being. So do blackberries, raspberries and
(26:13):
papayas and but and and so. Human beings kill most
all other seeds when they eat them because of how
well we chew our food. One thing that separates us
from uh, you know fish and animals, because we really
do chew our food.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Well that's how so that's how so many foods produce
in general make it from geographic region to another because
they aren't digested by birds.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah right, yeah, right exactly. But you know, like whales,
they'll eat fish whole, you know, they're still alive. You
see alligators eat you know, other alligators alive or turtles whatever.
But we chew our food pretty well in this country
and around the world, and so a lot of the
seeds do not make it through. But look, you know,
(27:04):
we we have. We try to have a lot of
fun on the show. And and one of the reasons
I wanted to move back to evenings because I do
like the lighter side of news, not heavy politics and
you know, screaming all the time about life in la
I do enjoy listening to that, I just don't enjoy
doing it. But one of the one. But we occasionally
(27:26):
come across a story that's as important as if we're
doing morning drive or afternoon drive or middays, and this
is one of them. This is one of those stories
where you know, the food safety in this country is
is severely compromised, right, now, and it's in fruits and vegetables,
(27:47):
So it's affecting the people who are the healthiest amongst us.
You know, people are vegans or vegetarians or you know,
try not to eat a lot of meat. You're the
one that's going to be affected by this. And now,
I don't know how far you're going to take it.
You're going to ask them not to put lettuce on
your burger, or you know, maybe you're not going to
get the caesar salad.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I don't know. When you go to a restaurant, it's
it's going to be on your mind because this is
a severe ailment. It's two weeks of heavy duty duty.
Two weeks. Unless you go to a doctor and you
get a prescription, they could wipe that out a little quicker,
(28:28):
but you don't want that, and so you got to
be very careful until they get a handle on this.
You got to be very careful eating your fruits and vegetables.
All right, let's get back to this story here and
find out a little more information on how we can
all survive.
Speaker 12 (28:41):
You can also use soapy water and a vinegar water mix.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
There you go, Okay, that's a good tip, good tip.
Let me go back a little further and talk about
how we can clean vegetables better and we all can
survive this.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Doctor.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
One of the great things, Krozer. I don't know if
you read this about it, but I did a deep
dive on this last night. That it's not transmittable human
to human. Ah, So no masks, you know, no gloves,
no six feet We're not doing that again. Yeah, it's
not human to human at least they don't think it
(29:14):
is yet, right, but we still got ways to go.
Speaker 12 (29:17):
Doctor, say, this parasite is resistant to chemicals.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, resistant to chemicals. You cannot fight it with you know,
anti fungus or anti you know, virus or whatever. The
spray is.
Speaker 12 (29:29):
So vegetable cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Okay, I thought vegetable cleaning sprays were kind of weird anyway,
you know, just soap and water. I don't know why
people are getting vegetable cleaning sprays.
Speaker 12 (29:41):
So vegetable cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
They're not working on this thing.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
The advice is to rinse and scrub down your fruits
and veggies. You can also use soapy water and a
vinegar water mix. If you happen to get sick, it's
important to seek medical treatment because cyclospora is treated with
a specific antibiotic.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Okay, that is a great tip. Slide into your doctor
or urgent care. You know at first, you know, don't
go first sign. You know, if you had a crazy
meal and you're susceptible to the big D anyway, I
wouldn't wander in there on the first shot. I would
take a pause, and then you know, maybe it's day one,
(30:20):
day two, maybe day three, you slide in there. You know,
it's like I'm the outside wrapper of viagra. They said,
if you have the big E like in like it
sounds like election. If you have one of those for
four hours to go to the emergency room, I think
a lot of guys fudge that. I think you're looking
(30:42):
at some six hour guys, seven hours, seven days, seven years,
because that's not something you want to go in and
tell the er doctor. You know, by the way, quite
a brag, Quite a brag, you know.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
Now seven years.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh, you go in there, you go, hey, this has
been going on for seven days, and all the nurses
are like, whoa hello, And then you hear the nurses
in the background ding on. Oh yeah, yeah, thanks, thanks,
I appreciate.
Speaker 13 (31:11):
If you developed severe abdominal pain diarrhea, which many times
can be explosive.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Why do they have to get there? You know the
guy that sounds like he's on a coffee commercial from
the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Times can be explosive, or.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
He sounds like the guy running Fantasy Island, which is
the opposite of this. What's the guy montvan Riccardo? Yeah,
here's the Riccardo Montaban talking to you about diarrhea.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
Severe abdominal pain diarrhea, which many times can be explosive,
no vomiting fever, and.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It could also stain your corinthium leather.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
If you developed severe.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, the pain, the pain. Pain, Hey, the pain, the.
Speaker 13 (32:01):
Pain, severe abdominal pain diarrhea, yeah, smiles.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Pain, Yeah, hey boss, pain the pain, the pain, the pain,
the pain.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Diarrhea, which many times can be explosive, Oh my god,
no chavomiting fever. Seek medical attention. Typically this happens about
the week after ingesting.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Oh, oh my god. Oh so you don't know what
it is. It's a week after you had that Caesar salad,
and then back after the races.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Typically this happens about the week after ingesting. Oh no,
that's horrible the parasite. But it can happen somewhere between
three and ten days.
Speaker 12 (32:55):
The good news is that cyclosprises can't spread from person
to person.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Oh, they're okay. I was right, ding dong, ding dong.
I read that last time on one thirty in the morning,
and I did sort of the happy dance. I love that.
Not transmittable from human to human, So don't panic. No gloves, masks,
shields six feet apart, none to that.
Speaker 12 (33:19):
The good news is that cyclosporiasis can't spread from person
to person. At least there aren't any documented cases this outbreak.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
I don't like that tag.
Speaker 12 (33:28):
At least there aren't any documented cases.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
What so it could we just haven't heard of it yet.
Speaker 12 (33:34):
At least there aren't any documented cases. This outbreak serves
as a reminder to practice good hygiene. Wash your hands
with soap and water. Alcohol cannot kill cyclospora. Again, the
best you can do is to scrub down your produce.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
I wonder if you can see it. I wonder if
it looks like a worm.
Speaker 12 (33:51):
But don't panic. While this is the largest nationwide outbreak
we've had in years, these infections are very rare. Doctors
say you shouldn't avoid eating somemer because the health benefits
outweigh the wrists. Just be aware.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I don't like that.
Speaker 12 (34:06):
Just be aware.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Just be aware.
Speaker 12 (34:09):
Oh no, so vegetable cleaning sprays won't work.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
There, you go, all right. So, I don't know, I
don't know. I don't know what to tell you, you know,
sort of a stumped on this one. I washed I
bought lettuce today at the store, went home and washed
it to death, you know. I washed everything out of it,
the new tree and so everything. It was nothing left.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Bacon soda, Bacon soda, bacon soda.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Yeah, everything and everything with bagan so all produce and
even meat. I just soak it in in baking soda
and water and it revives all the produce, makes them
crunchy again.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Anything it's got, like like lettuce and stuff that's limp
kills everything revives it. Bacon soda is the savior.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You know what. My my wife's a big fan of
that time is it called under deck or deck below
or under below night soil, the night soil below deck,
all right, below deck. And she gave me a great
tip because we buy celery and it sits there for
a week and it goes limp. And so if you
cut off the bottom of it, you know, the bottom
(35:11):
of the stalk that big, you know, sort of half
baseball in the bottom, and then you stick it in
a mason jar or any kind of jar of water
and put it in the fridge. Man, you get fresh
celery every time.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
That's what I'm telling you is what Baconson does, the
exact same thing, and it's a hell of a lot
cheaper than any of those products.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I'm taking a pen out because I got to survive. Man,
I don't know. I don't know the diet. I don't
know the diet or the workout schedule where I can
handle this, you know this worm, I just don't. I'm
on the edge anyway. This is KFI.
