Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty, and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM
six forty. It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here, yes, sir,
and tomorrow at this time, almost exactly twenty four hours
from now, twenty four hours and two minutes for right now,
(00:20):
the Los Angeles Dodgers will be throwing the opening pitch
at Dodgers Stadium against the Philadelphia Phillies. Are up to nothing,
two games to zero, and they're going they could win,
they could sweep tomorrow. If they win tomorrow, they get
almost a week off. Parking meters are going up by
fifty percent. If you paid a dollar an hour, it's
(00:41):
going to a dollar fifty in Los Angeles. They're desperate
for money and they want yours.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
If you think parking in Los Angeles is expensive, be
prepared to pay a little bit more. Parking meter rates
they're going up by fifty percent, So for an hour,
instead of a dollar, it's.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Going to be a buck fifty. This is what bothers
me is you know when they're out there fishing and
trolling for money, that they stick it to the poorest
people first. Yeah, because you know, if you have a
you know, if you have let's say you have a
you know car that's worth I don't know, two three
hundred thousand dollars, which is a very expensive car. Then
(01:20):
you have a garage somewhere, or you work in a
building where it's in Like, we don't pay for parking here.
We're all parking underground. So we were not even bothered
by those meters. But if you're like a you know,
a delivery guy, or you know, you're you're working at
a shop or whatever and you got to go in
and get some material because you're a plumber or whatever,
that's going to affect that guy, you know, instead of
(01:42):
paying a dollar an hour and now it's a dollar
fifty and it adds up.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I mean, I get you that. I hate to see
the parking meter rates go up. I think they're I
think delivery people generally double park or whatever. I've seen
that I don't see that they use a lot of meters.
But I also think they're not a lot of meters
available in LA. If you find one, you kind of
feel lucky. But this is a scam. The scam is
that they only offer you an hour in a lot
of places. And when you're using parking meters for any meal, lunch, dinner, breakfast,
(02:11):
it's going to be more than an hour. You know
that that's biked in. You can't sit You don't sit
here and get a menu right away. Boom, I'm back
out at the parking meter four blocks from where the
restaurant is. So it's a scam. It's every parking meter
should be a minimum of ninety minutes. It should be.
And I'm telling you this is a way that you
think that they're raising money because they're raising the parking
(02:31):
meter rates. No, they're raising money because they're screwing you
on the amount of time that they allow you to
park there.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That's right. You know when you go to when you
park in a meter in most of the most of
the city of Los Angeles, you put in your quarters
or your credit card, whatever, and it gives you an
hour or an hour and a half, whatever it is,
and then the two green lights come on and they blink.
You know, blank blank blank blank. A friend of mine
who you know, used to work at when it was
(02:58):
a kid. He used to work his name is Kenny.
He used to work at Radio Shack and He's really
good at making little things. He made the first remote
control for his gait clicker all by himself. He made
little transistor radios by himself. He's a really nice kid.
And I saw on his Facebook page he had made
a little tiny thing that blinks green lights. It's battery powered,
(03:23):
and he sticks it on the meter, and all these
meter maids just keep driving by him and wow, and
he never pays for a meter.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
That's wildly illegal.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It could probably cost him thousands of dollars if he
got caught doing that. He gets caught in trouble, right,
but he's never gotten caught. I'd rather just pay the buck.
Buck fifty, yeah, bucks fifty. This is kind of crazy
because everything's going up.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Pull the price going up.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
See, this is the guy that's going to get stung,
of course, this guy, this guy.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
This is kinda crazy because everything's going up.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Pull the price going up in the city.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The last time those rates went up was back in
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Drivers tell us this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Is just another added expense that they're going to have
to account for.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Well, they're just finding another way to kind of uh
to stick it to us to collect taxes for you know,
on another another avenue or another stream of income for them.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Very well said, very well, welcome.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Under the new plan, meters will also run later. In
busy night life areas, they'll stay on until midnight.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh that's horrible, good time, that's horrible. We at least
they'll be off for Sunday and in.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Other parts of the city until eight pm. And for
the first time, most meters will also operate on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh jam banam banam bomb.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
But you've got them.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
If you're going to keep those meters running so late,
you've got to give people a reasonable amount of time
on that meter. You can't an hour is that's just
your stealing. You don't want setting them up for a
seventy five dollars ticket.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You're right. You don't want to rush at every hour
to throw money in the meter.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And they know you can't, so it is absolutely it's
scam worthy.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I got to take it for a meter violation that's
been about a year ago. Sixty dollars that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. Sixty seventy five bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, that's too much. So now they're not going to
give you a break on Sunday. You go to get
a pizza, you go to get shoes, whatever, you stop
and get something framed, go to your cleaners. You're gonna
if it's on Sunday. Now you got to use the meters.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And for the first time, most meters will also operate
on Sundays.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Oh that sucks and I should it Sundays.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know, we take you like a leader, break you
know from pay now. I called. You know they have
a better follution for Doth. This is the guy that's
gonna have to pay. This guy I called.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
You know, they have a betefollutionip for Doth.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
This poor guy is gonna have to you know, now
pay fifty percent more. City leaders say.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The move puts Los Angeles in line with neighboring cities
like Santa Monica and Pasadena, which already charged for parking
every day of the week.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Salaries are not going up, so it sucks to see
that it's gonna be harder for people to make a
simple trip, you know, to show up something or eat
or whatever, meet up with clients or Francis.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Los Angeles currently has more than thirty five thousand meter
spaces across eighty three parking zones, charging anywhere from a
dollar to eight dollars and fifty cents an hour, depending
on the location.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Wow, people are still gonna have to park. Yeah, I
mean we're him with that guy. People are still gonna
have to park.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That guy's that guy's you know, you may you know
think he's a man of a few words. He's brilliant.
To me, people are still gonna have to park. He's right.
What's wrong about that sentence? Nothing, it's he says it all.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
I mean we're here in Koreatown and like you can't
find parking, and so you're gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
This guy's classic. He says the same thing twice. I'm
gonna edit this just a little bit here. Okay, this
is what he's saying to every.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
People are still gonna have to park, and so you're
gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Wow, that guy. How about sitting next to that guy
driving across country? Huhm?
Speaker 7 (07:10):
And you know they've it's set up so that you're
gonna get a ticket if you don't.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
These changes could reportedly bring in more than fourteen million
dollars in extra revenue next year.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
You know why, because people are still gonna have to park,
and so you're gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The city's Department of Transportation will also start reviewing meter
rates every five years to keep up with inflation. It's
still unclear when the higher rates in the longer hours
will officially take effect, but of course, once we learn more,
we will let you know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
All right, once you learn more, this guy doesn't need
to learn more.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
People are still gonna have to park, and so you're
gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's not wrong, now, he's not. He's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Reporting in Koreatown. Gillian Smuckler, Keith TLA five news.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What was the last name, reporting in Kreatown. Yeah, that's right, Reporting.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
In Koreatown, Gillian Smuckler, Keith Hala Billian Smuckler.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
She must be new in town. I've not heard that
name before. And she interviewed this chat.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
People are still gonna have to park, and so you're
gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, for sure, if you drive a car, you gotta park. Yeah,
ro all right, it's Conway and Thompson AFI AM six forty.
It's Conway show. Mark Thompson is here.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
The Dodgers start playing again in less than twenty four hours,
so they want to get to the stadium. They want
to leave. Now. I wonder what, I wonder, how soon
before the game starts can you enter the stadium? It's
two hours, that's a good question. It's two hours, two
and a half hours. But there's gonna be fifty seven
thousand people, fifty six thousand people there tomorrow and a.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Lot of magic energy in the yeah stadium, right.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But there's really only I think there's five ways to
get into that stadium, if memory serves me right.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It doesn't feel well if you can find parking. You know,
parking is always tricky. Check you know some as you
haven't lined up ahead of time, whatever. But my point is,
once you find it, getting into Dodger Stadium is not
really problem. It's not the lines, aren't you know, onerous?
The process is not awful, that's right. Getting out of.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Dodderstated thea that can be really rough. I went with
my old boss, a guy named Jack Silver, and where
it was I think it was nineteen it must have
been two thousand and three or four. Whenever they're in
the playoffs, I'd have to look this up against Saint
Louis and we wanted to get down there. We wanted
to get a good parking spot, but we got held up,
(09:35):
we got delayed, and by the time we got down there,
all the good parking was gone. So I said, hey, Jack, Jack,
my buddy Jack Silver is driving. I said, Jack, roll up.
I'll give you a twenty dollars bill. Roll it up
in your hand and palm it. Put your finger down
on the bottom. And as you drive by that guy
in parking lot number five, which is the premier spot there,
(09:57):
I said, put your hand out like that, go to
shake his hand. He'll shake your hand. You drop the twenty,
and you say to him, Merry Christmas, and you keep driving.
They all know the rub. So he goes like, okay,
all right, alright, So he puts the twenty in his hand.
We come up on the parking attendant and he goes,
(10:20):
Merry Christmas. And the guy takes the twenty and he
pulls forward about five feet and he stops. He gets
out of the car. Oh, he thinks he's a valet
or something. No, he gets out of the car and
he says to him, he goes, is that enough?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And I go, buddy, his boss is standing twenty five
feet from him.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Are you kidding, Jack Silver?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, he seems so sophisticated, not in that at that
time he was.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I see, okay, this is part of his learning experience.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And I'm like, God almighty, this guy did not grow
up at a racetrack. There's no way this guy grew
up in a race track. But I don't think they
do that anymore. Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's harder.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
America's gone corporate, Yeah, exactly, even Las Vegas, you can't.
I mean, Las Vegas was built on that stuff. You know,
you give the guy the one hundred and he puts
you down front, or you give it, you know what
I mean that that whole deal. I think if you'll
check again, you might see my room and you slip
though whatever, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, yeah, I was with another parking story here. That's
with a buddy of mine, guy named Frankie Ronzuoli, and
we go to we went to Santa Anita to watch
the races. But they weren't running at Santanita. They're running
at del Mar, But we went to Santannito. You can
bet him off track, and you can bet del Mar
from Sannito. So we go to sant Anita and we
(11:44):
pull up and the guy says eight dollars for parking,
and I said, eight dollars. There's no racing here. This
is you know, we're not paid. So I drive past
him and he's he followed. He follows us in a
golf car, one of those cars. Yeah, and we're trying
to serpentine and get away from him. We can't. We
can't shake this guy. So we park and he finally
(12:06):
comes up and he goes. He goes, I'm he goes
eight dollars or I'm calling the cops. And Frankie goes, look,
we're the biggest losers in the world. We're gonna go
in there and probably each lose about three hundred dollars. Uh,
we're not paying eight dollars to park here. And the
guy says, well, I'm gonna call the cops. And Frankie says,
at what point is it not worth you pursuing us
(12:29):
for the eight dollars? And the guy says, what do
you mean? And Frankie says, well, what if I pull it?
What if I go in the trunk and pull a
tire iron out? Move you around a little bit. Oh
my god, the guy's' what but it's such a great visual.
What if I move you around a little bit with
the tire I.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That's a great comment. That's a great comment. It's like
a movie. Uh well, he's a movie dialogue. He wrote
all the great dialogue and the sopranus. Yeah, that sounds
very promms and all the authentic in the first three
seasons of I think of three or four seasons of
of of that show. He wrote all the authentic dialogue
(13:11):
in the sopranos. I mean he was you know, he
knew guys. You know that that you know, knew all
those terms, and but just a great I always remember
that saying, he goes, what if I move you around
a little bit with the tire iron? Because look, if
somebody is beating you with a tire iron, you're moving. Yeah,
but you're moving around. Yeah, yeah, I think we don't
(13:33):
endorse show. But the but but the vibe, that's right,
that's the part of that's the point of the story,
not the actual breakdown of the legalness of of of
the legality.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I love I love that he he was breaking out sopranos.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
That's right, that's right, that's right, all right. New Disney

on characters, and here you can see every character that'll
be available around this area.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Selfie time with Manbi.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
We also take advantage of all the free experiences that
are hiding in plain sight. And hey, the best trick
to save money is to minimize purchases.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Okay, you know we should do Crozier. This might be
you know two, I don't know, maybe micro casting here
instead of broadcasting. But we should do the wait times
every day for Disneyland, like right now, the Haunted Mansion
is forty five minutes. Pirates of the Caribbean is fifteen minutes.
That's a good short wave. Star Wars Galaxy Galaxy's Edge
(15:23):
is twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Let's see so now it would be a good time
to go.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, that's a great time. Indiana Adventured Indiana Jones forty
five minutes. Jungle Cruise twenty five minutes. That's not bad.

Twenty minutes, CROs Uh ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
That's exactly right, rh ten minutes. Krozer nailed it. Man,

riverboat fifteen minutes and Disneyland Railroad five minutes. There you go,
the disney wait times brought to you by the Conway Show.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
You can bring in snacks, you can bring water bottles,
there's no limit to that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I didn't know that you can bring water bottles and
snacks in the Disneyland on Oh.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
So they had these stations all over they do all
over throughout the parks.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And snacks.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Sure, she's in salami perfect and it's totally okay.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
To bring simes in.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
We do eat our meals in the park. But these
were the only purchases on the day. So at a
fifteen dollars lunch, at a fifteen dollars dinner, and then
the cost of my ticket.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's equidi teen dollars dinner at Disneyland. That's what it
costs me fifteen dollars at you know, subway and sandwich
today or no, I went to h what's it? MIC's
what's the micsy mikes? Jersey mic what Jersey Mike? Today
got a regular sub It was fourteen dollars and sixty
five cents.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I don't know if you're gonna do well, fifteen dollars,
got it, done it?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
That's that's what she just said.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
So I had a fifteen dollars lunch at a fifteen
dollars dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Fifteen dollars dinner. That's nothing. Well, that's cheap. And then
the cost of my ticket, that's it.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
And about the ticket prices differ day to day, like
I found one for one hundred and four dollars next month,
and even more savings pay for that ticket using a
discounted Disney gift card. Target Red card holders can get
five percent off of Disney gift cards, and wholesale clubs
have Disney cards discounted too, and to really maximize the ticket.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Nighttime, Disney is its own thing. It is.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
So my ticket cost one hundred and twenty six dollars
plus thirty bucks per food, and if you paid for
it with a discounted gift card, that would total forty
eight dollars for fourteen hours.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Of NonStop fun and joy. Okay, that's a good deal.
One hundred and forty eight dollars for the whole day.
That's a sweet deal.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
At Disneyland, Okay, a lightning round of Disney deals coming
up here through December nineteenth. At Disneyland, twenty percent off
of hotel stays of three nights or more for the
first half of twenty twenty six. At disney World, if
you're planning a four night or longer trip, you can
save up to two hundred and fifty bucks a night
on any Walt disney World hotel when you purchase a
fort day theme park ticket from the Walt Disney Travel Company.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh, that's a good deal, all right. Start early. That's
a good rule of thumb when you go to Disneyland
or disney World. Start early. It's Connray Thompson were live
on kfive. You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI AM six forty Hey by Am at six
forty is Conway Show. The Burbank airport is back open,
(18:53):
so if you're leaving out of Burbank or arriving in Burbank,
you'll have no trouble. And I know the guys walked
out last night on their behalf. I apologized to everybody
who got screwed up in that airport. Oh wow, friends
of mine did they It's made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
They they didn't. They walked out an act of momentary defiance.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
That's why they should have done that. But they feel
bad they did that. They won't do it again.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That's nice. It's very Unburbank of them to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I mean you always lawed the that's right aspects of
Burbank that you feed it correct.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, and that's not one of them. It's embarrassing. Yeah,
all right, let's talk. Oh here, it is interesting. This
has to do with airports too. This Colorado guy was
stunned by what they charged him for parking at the
Denver Airport. How about this bill when you get you know, whenever,
whenever you use parking at airport, it's always busy, it's
always expensive. But this guy got really hit over the head.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Grab your tickets, wipe your card, and head out.
Speaker 10 (19:49):
After dropping off, my wife went through the parking gates
as usual.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Didn't really think anything of it.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
It's the drill at DAA. There's nothing to think about
this was.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
The ticket that I got. It shows I entered the
West Garage. I arrived at one thirty four pm on
October the second, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Okay, let's let's keep this in mind, and I'm gonna
ask you how much you think this was?
Speaker 10 (20:12):
Okay, I'm PM on October this.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Okay, let's do it here.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
It is one thirty four pm on October the second,
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, October second of this year. He entered the gates. Sure,
when did you leave?
Speaker 11 (20:24):
But for Jim Boyd, that routine ended with the charge
that made him slam on the brakes.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
As the gate was opening, I heard the Okay, how
much do you think they charged him for the Sure? Well,
how I'm sure there for four hours? Oh four hours, I'm.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Gonna say, I'll say forty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh, very close.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
The Chase Bank notification that nineteen thousand, eight hundred and
twenty four dollars had been charged.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
That was gonna be my next guest. Nineteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Almost twenty grand for parking.
Speaker 10 (20:56):
That nineteen thousand, eight hundred and twenty four dollars had
been charged to Denver Parking. My immediate thought was, oh, no,
this is just like what I heard on nine News
a month ago.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
It was exactly that last month Steve on your Side
brought you a story of a woman who parked at
DIA for fourteen hours, but her ticket claimed she had
been there since June twenty fifth, and slapped her with
a twenty three hundred dollars charge.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
Wow, and now it's happened to me to the tune
of almost twenty thousand dollars. Something alerted the system.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now, just eat it. Twenty thousand dollars. Why is everyone
complaining all the time calling nine on your Side? Just
eat it?
Speaker 10 (21:34):
To the fact that I had arrived on June the
sixth at two forty four pm and they were charging
me for that entire time, one hundred and sixty nine
eight hundred and seventy seven minutes.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, when Steve on.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
Your Side first reached out to DIA, they told us
this wasn't a widespread issue. We reached out again, they
said there have been four of these incidents since June.
In this instance, DIA's working system thought Jim's car was
there on June sixth.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Weird because I was not at on June the sixth.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Turns out it was d I A's own system that
messed up getting gym's license plate confused with another cars
one character.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Hey Bellio, it's Bellio in there. I think she is
man Bellio. You've that airport has had its challenges.
Speaker 11 (22:21):
It has.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's had some issues over the years, but it's all good.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
They're working some stuff out, Okay, some things. And is
not airport way the hell out of town?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Is it? Ever? And it goes on forever, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
China, it's a bit of a drive, but once you
get used to it, it's not there isn't it? Also
is not airport haunted there?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yes, there is some apart from that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Apart from that, yeah, And how far is it from downtown?
I heard it's like nine hundred miles. It's not that fun.
It feels not twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
It's actually, well, what's.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
The reason that ever that it feels so far?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I lived in Denver for a short time because there
used to be the airport much closer to town. Yes,
they it was great. It was really close to town. Then
they moved it to the end of the earth and
it's expansive, but it is a long way.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Well, you will always defend. It's really not that far away.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Okay, well it's far than when Stapleton was.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Did they close Stapleton?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, oh I love staying.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
I think it became a training facility.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Stapleton was like five seconds from downtown. Actually really sure.
It literally touched the buildings when you're landing.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, not anymore.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
One character apart a be mistaken for an eight. That
mismatch stuck Jym with nearly twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
That's why that's a That's what everybody believes in aid.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I A man.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
This guy will not This guy will not be a
big AI supporter.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, is it DA or d I A d I A.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Thank goodness, we still had some credit available on our
credit card. Other people you know that might have totally
maxed them out and created all kinds of problems.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's a rich guy who has more than he has
over twenty thousand dollars, and then that's.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
What we could float it for a month or two.
We got we got worked out.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
He's at that kind of room on a card. Twenty grand. Yeah,
you can charge them for twenty grand, and nobody like
your bank just says Hey, you know you have that charge.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, no, sweat, We'll deal with it later.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
My bank would have said, you're not That gate's not
going up, You're not leaving there bub.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
Somehow, there's got to be some safeguards. They need to
figure out what's going on with their system.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Jim confirmed he's getting a refund, but that take a
drill at DIA won't feel like such a no brainer anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Unbelievable twenty thousand dollars for parking.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
That's a big hit.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And he complained like all those people did. All right,
we're live on KF I am six forty more tom
wwayn Thompson if I am sick forty Tomoys Show with
Mark Thompson and Krozier joins us.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Krozer gots a slide in.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Krozer was part of that big Leno garage tour that
we took today.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
That was great, so unbelievably amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I'm surprised you made it through the tour considering your
accident you had over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Oh my foot?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah yeah, can you tell Thompson what you did?
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Oh no, I dropped a like a fifty pound box
of floor tiles on my foot.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Oh my, oh my big toe, just the big toe.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Oh, it's it's nice and purple right now, that dark
nice all.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
The time, or just when you're standing on it, or
well just when you're walking.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Right now, it's the swelling's going down a little bit,
so I can I get the little pings of pain,
but otherwise I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And there's nothing that they can really do for you.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
No, that's the thing.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
That's why my wife was like, you're gonna go to
the mergency room, you go to gurage and cars them.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
What are they going to do if it's broken, they
can't cast it. Yeah, so it's all pain tolerance, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But but that's almost with anything, you know, if you
get you know, like a fingertip, you break anything from
like the last knuckle on, they can't really.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Do anyth Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Yeah, yeah, you're just kind of deal with it.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, even if it's smashed, that's you're just gonna have
to live with that.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It was the whole neighborhood heart.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Oh my god. But I love the fact that, you know,
you got a sweet deal at Low's and then it
came back and screw it.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Did Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Every time I get a good deal, Yeah, you'll.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Pay for this someway or the other. It's not financially, yeah,
physically and I did. I saved about three hundred bucks
on a floor tiling, and yeah, I paid for it
by the time I got home.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right, It's like yeah, And that's you know, it's always
a void. You always get hurt. And I've noticed this,
at least in my case at our house. Whenever I
avoid a delivery charge, it always knocks me up. If
I try to pick something up in my own car,
my own truck or.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Oh no, no, no, I'm not going to pay for that.
That's what fifty bucks, one hundred bucks I have delivered.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'll just do it myself. That's right. And that's where
you come back and it haunts you and you get
to work. But you know those tiles that you got,
you know because I've looked at it at home depot.
They're eighteen inches by eighteen inches, which is a standard
for outdoor.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
These are the like the eighty by like sixteen.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
They're like planks almost, and they're made a concrete waterproof.
They snap together so and I don't need to tear
up the tile floor. That's down. They're currently just put it.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Right on top.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
They're a little thinner, they're like, yeah, yeah, they're real thin. Yeah,
but they're fantastic.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
But the ones that are thicker, I can't get them
because they each weigh like ninety five pounds.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
Yeah, this was a box of the thinner ones and
it was good. Forty fifty pounds.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
And how do you put those down? Is there a
ceiling or they.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Just snap right together?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
No, just lay them down.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Yeah, they're like tongue in groove and yeah, they snap
over and it's it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, that's that's a good idea. Where's your loads? Which
one you go to?
Speaker 6 (27:25):
It's in Upland, it's on Benson and Foothill.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Everybody those are you know, our Low's is here an
empire and it's fairly small compared to the Disneyland of
lows out where you live.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
Yeah, well ours, Yeah, mine's a small one like that.
But there's that bigger one that you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, I mean you go to the the lows in
Highland and you can see the curvage of the earth.
I mean you you you need like a golf cart
to get around there. Yeah, you know, it's like I said,
where's plumbing. Oh it's way back on Aisle sixteen and
forty two.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Which is dangerous because when I got time and I
go to Low's and I know I've got time, I
don't have to be home.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I can be there easy, a good hour.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Or two hours, just easily, just strolling around looking at things.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I'm the same way, just vaping and looking sneak vaping.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
And you get and you get the people that will
like you, will that'll come up to you and you go, hey,
you know where you can get with?
Speaker 6 (28:18):
I know what they look like. I work here.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I will say that Lows has the better what do
they call it? The discount bin. You know we got everything? Yeah,
clearance right, yeah, seventy five percent off. It's great.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
Oh yeah, we always hit it every weekend. We go
to the clearance in the back. Yeah, by the bathrooms
I bought.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I went to the one not the loads here, but
the one up off the five and the one eighteen.
I don't know what city that's in, Silmar, I think,
and it's a huge loads. And I go back to
the clearance area and I see that there's a Tesla
charger kit. Yeah, you know, and it was one hundred
and thirty seven dollars. So I quickly do what you
(28:57):
probably do, and Jen, does you look up to see
how much it's selling for an eBay or Amazon whatever,
And they're selling for five hundred dollars. So I bought
it and Tesla for one hundred and thirty seven dollars.
I don't own a Tesla, and like, oh, I'm going
to make four hundred dollars on this thing. I open
it up. There's parts missing. Oh and and but Low's
(29:22):
was nice about it. Los was like, hey, we're going
to give you. We're going to make it right for you.
And they made it right for me. Ended up getting
it and they made it beautiful. And then I did
sell it for not you know, five hundred only like
one hundred and eighty dollars. Plus they was shipping and
they was, you know, having to go back and forth.
And I think I may have lost like ten bucks.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
So like you say, you will pay for this.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Right, I did pay for it. At the end. I
lost probably about ten dollars. And it took me about
two days. All the work and effort. And you're gonna
if I buy something and I sell it for ten
dollars less than I bought it. That's a home run
at my house. You know, if I only lose ten
dollars on that d.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
You say it's a home run in your house.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Do you mean?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh? We both do it. We both do it. We
both buy crap and try to sell for more. We
always get hosts, wow, always, And but it's fun to do,
you know, I don't really care what they hell. All right,

It's KFI AM six forty, and you're listening to the

six forty. It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here, yes, sir,
and tomorrow at this time, almost exactly twenty four hours
from now, twenty four hours and two minutes for right now,
(00:20):
the Los Angeles Dodgers will be throwing the opening pitch
at Dodgers Stadium against the Philadelphia Phillies. Are up to nothing,
two games to zero, and they're going they could win,
they could sweep tomorrow. If they win tomorrow, they get
almost a week off. Parking meters are going up by
fifty percent. If you paid a dollar an hour, it's
(00:41):
going to a dollar fifty in Los Angeles. They're desperate
for money and they want yours.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
If you think parking in Los Angeles is expensive, be
prepared to pay a little bit more. Parking meter rates
they're going up by fifty percent, So for an hour,
instead of a dollar, it's.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Going to be a buck fifty. This is what bothers
me is you know when they're out there fishing and
trolling for money, that they stick it to the poorest
people first. Yeah, because you know, if you have a
you know, if you have let's say you have a
you know car that's worth I don't know, two three
hundred thousand dollars, which is a very expensive car. Then
(01:20):
you have a garage somewhere, or you work in a
building where it's in Like, we don't pay for parking here.
We're all parking underground. So we were not even bothered
by those meters. But if you're like a you know,
a delivery guy, or you know, you're you're working at
a shop or whatever and you got to go in
and get some material because you're a plumber or whatever,
that's going to affect that guy, you know, instead of
(01:42):
paying a dollar an hour and now it's a dollar
fifty and it adds up.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I mean, I get you that. I hate to see
the parking meter rates go up. I think they're I
think delivery people generally double park or whatever. I've seen
that I don't see that they use a lot of meters.
But I also think they're not a lot of meters
available in LA. If you find one, you kind of
feel lucky. But this is a scam. The scam is
that they only offer you an hour in a lot
of places. And when you're using parking meters for any meal, lunch, dinner, breakfast,
(02:11):
it's going to be more than an hour. You know
that that's biked in. You can't sit You don't sit
here and get a menu right away. Boom, I'm back
out at the parking meter four blocks from where the
restaurant is. So it's a scam. It's every parking meter
should be a minimum of ninety minutes. It should be.
And I'm telling you this is a way that you
think that they're raising money because they're raising the parking
(02:31):
meter rates. No, they're raising money because they're screwing you
on the amount of time that they allow you to
park there.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That's right. You know when you go to when you
park in a meter in most of the most of
the city of Los Angeles, you put in your quarters
or your credit card, whatever, and it gives you an
hour or an hour and a half, whatever it is,
and then the two green lights come on and they blink.
You know, blank blank blank blank. A friend of mine
who you know, used to work at when it was
(02:58):
a kid. He used to work his name is Kenny.
He used to work at Radio Shack and He's really
good at making little things. He made the first remote
control for his gait clicker all by himself. He made
little transistor radios by himself. He's a really nice kid.
And I saw on his Facebook page he had made
a little tiny thing that blinks green lights. It's battery powered,
(03:23):
and he sticks it on the meter, and all these
meter maids just keep driving by him and wow, and
he never pays for a meter.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
That's wildly illegal.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It could probably cost him thousands of dollars if he
got caught doing that. He gets caught in trouble, right,
but he's never gotten caught. I'd rather just pay the buck.
Buck fifty, yeah, bucks fifty. This is kind of crazy
because everything's going up.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Pull the price going up.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
See, this is the guy that's going to get stung,
of course, this guy, this guy.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
This is kinda crazy because everything's going up.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Pull the price going up in the city.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The last time those rates went up was back in
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Drivers tell us this.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Is just another added expense that they're going to have
to account for.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Well, they're just finding another way to kind of uh
to stick it to us to collect taxes for you know,
on another another avenue or another stream of income for them.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Very well said, very well, welcome.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Under the new plan, meters will also run later. In
busy night life areas, they'll stay on until midnight.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh that's horrible, good time, that's horrible. We at least
they'll be off for Sunday and in.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Other parts of the city until eight pm. And for
the first time, most meters will also operate on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh jam banam banam bomb.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
But you've got them.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
If you're going to keep those meters running so late,
you've got to give people a reasonable amount of time
on that meter. You can't an hour is that's just
your stealing. You don't want setting them up for a
seventy five dollars ticket.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You're right. You don't want to rush at every hour
to throw money in the meter.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And they know you can't, so it is absolutely it's
scam worthy.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I got to take it for a meter violation that's
been about a year ago. Sixty dollars that's a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying. Sixty seventy five bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, that's too much. So now they're not going to
give you a break on Sunday. You go to get
a pizza, you go to get shoes, whatever, you stop
and get something framed, go to your cleaners. You're gonna
if it's on Sunday. Now you got to use the meters.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And for the first time, most meters will also operate
on Sundays.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Oh that sucks and I should it Sundays.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know, we take you like a leader, break you
know from pay now. I called. You know they have
a better follution for Doth. This is the guy that's
gonna have to pay. This guy I called.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
You know, they have a betefollutionip for Doth.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
This poor guy is gonna have to you know, now
pay fifty percent more. City leaders say.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The move puts Los Angeles in line with neighboring cities
like Santa Monica and Pasadena, which already charged for parking
every day of the week.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Salaries are not going up, so it sucks to see
that it's gonna be harder for people to make a
simple trip, you know, to show up something or eat
or whatever, meet up with clients or Francis.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Los Angeles currently has more than thirty five thousand meter
spaces across eighty three parking zones, charging anywhere from a
dollar to eight dollars and fifty cents an hour, depending
on the location.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
Wow, people are still gonna have to park. Yeah, I
mean we're him with that guy. People are still gonna
have to park.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That guy's that guy's you know, you may you know
think he's a man of a few words. He's brilliant.
To me, people are still gonna have to park. He's right.
What's wrong about that sentence? Nothing, it's he says it all.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
I mean we're here in Koreatown and like you can't
find parking, and so you're gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
This guy's classic. He says the same thing twice. I'm
gonna edit this just a little bit here. Okay, this
is what he's saying to every.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
People are still gonna have to park, and so you're
gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Wow, that guy. How about sitting next to that guy
driving across country? Huhm?
Speaker 7 (07:10):
And you know they've it's set up so that you're
gonna get a ticket if you don't.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
These changes could reportedly bring in more than fourteen million
dollars in extra revenue next year.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
You know why, because people are still gonna have to park,
and so you're gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The city's Department of Transportation will also start reviewing meter
rates every five years to keep up with inflation. It's
still unclear when the higher rates in the longer hours
will officially take effect, but of course, once we learn more,
we will let you know.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
All right, once you learn more, this guy doesn't need
to learn more.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
People are still gonna have to park, and so you're
gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's not wrong, now, he's not. He's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Reporting in Koreatown. Gillian Smuckler, Keith TLA five news.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
What was the last name, reporting in Kreatown. Yeah, that's right, Reporting.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
In Koreatown, Gillian Smuckler, Keith Hala Billian Smuckler.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
She must be new in town. I've not heard that
name before. And she interviewed this chat.
Speaker 7 (08:09):
People are still gonna have to park, and so you're
gonna you're gonna have to park.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, for sure, if you drive a car, you gotta park. Yeah,
ro all right, it's Conway and Thompson AFI AM six forty.
It's Conway show. Mark Thompson is here.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
The Dodgers start playing again in less than twenty four hours,
so they want to get to the stadium. They want
to leave. Now. I wonder what, I wonder, how soon
before the game starts can you enter the stadium? It's
two hours, that's a good question. It's two hours, two
and a half hours. But there's gonna be fifty seven
thousand people, fifty six thousand people there tomorrow and a.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Lot of magic energy in the yeah stadium, right.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But there's really only I think there's five ways to
get into that stadium, if memory serves me right.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It doesn't feel well if you can find parking. You know,
parking is always tricky. Check you know some as you
haven't lined up ahead of time, whatever. But my point is,
once you find it, getting into Dodger Stadium is not
really problem. It's not the lines, aren't you know, onerous?
The process is not awful, that's right. Getting out of.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Dodderstated thea that can be really rough. I went with
my old boss, a guy named Jack Silver, and where
it was I think it was nineteen it must have
been two thousand and three or four. Whenever they're in
the playoffs, I'd have to look this up against Saint
Louis and we wanted to get down there. We wanted
to get a good parking spot, but we got held up,
(09:35):
we got delayed, and by the time we got down there,
all the good parking was gone. So I said, hey, Jack, Jack,
my buddy Jack Silver is driving. I said, Jack, roll up.
I'll give you a twenty dollars bill. Roll it up
in your hand and palm it. Put your finger down
on the bottom. And as you drive by that guy
in parking lot number five, which is the premier spot there,
(09:57):
I said, put your hand out like that, go to
shake his hand. He'll shake your hand. You drop the twenty,
and you say to him, Merry Christmas, and you keep driving.
They all know the rub. So he goes like, okay,
all right, alright, So he puts the twenty in his hand.
We come up on the parking attendant and he goes,
(10:20):
Merry Christmas. And the guy takes the twenty and he
pulls forward about five feet and he stops. He gets
out of the car. Oh, he thinks he's a valet
or something. No, he gets out of the car and
he says to him, he goes, is that enough?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And I go, buddy, his boss is standing twenty five
feet from him.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Are you kidding, Jack Silver?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, he seems so sophisticated, not in that at that
time he was.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
I see, okay, this is part of his learning experience.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And I'm like, God almighty, this guy did not grow
up at a racetrack. There's no way this guy grew
up in a race track. But I don't think they
do that anymore. Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's harder.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
America's gone corporate, Yeah, exactly, even Las Vegas, you can't.
I mean, Las Vegas was built on that stuff. You know,
you give the guy the one hundred and he puts
you down front, or you give it, you know what
I mean that that whole deal. I think if you'll
check again, you might see my room and you slip
though whatever, you know.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, yeah, I was with another parking story here. That's
with a buddy of mine, guy named Frankie Ronzuoli, and
we go to we went to Santa Anita to watch
the races. But they weren't running at Santanita. They're running
at del Mar, But we went to Santannito. You can
bet him off track, and you can bet del Mar
from Sannito. So we go to sant Anita and we
(11:44):
pull up and the guy says eight dollars for parking,
and I said, eight dollars. There's no racing here. This
is you know, we're not paid. So I drive past
him and he's he followed. He follows us in a
golf car, one of those cars. Yeah, and we're trying
to serpentine and get away from him. We can't. We
can't shake this guy. So we park and he finally
(12:06):
comes up and he goes. He goes, I'm he goes
eight dollars or I'm calling the cops. And Frankie goes, look,
we're the biggest losers in the world. We're gonna go
in there and probably each lose about three hundred dollars. Uh,
we're not paying eight dollars to park here. And the
guy says, well, I'm gonna call the cops. And Frankie says,
at what point is it not worth you pursuing us
(12:29):
for the eight dollars? And the guy says, what do
you mean? And Frankie says, well, what if I pull it?
What if I go in the trunk and pull a
tire iron out? Move you around a little bit. Oh
my god, the guy's' what but it's such a great visual.
What if I move you around a little bit with
the tire I.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Don't know about that.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That's a great comment. That's a great comment. It's like
a movie. Uh well, he's a movie dialogue. He wrote
all the great dialogue and the sopranus. Yeah, that sounds
very promms and all the authentic in the first three
seasons of I think of three or four seasons of
of of that show. He wrote all the authentic dialogue
(13:11):
in the sopranos. I mean he was you know, he
knew guys. You know that that you know, knew all
those terms, and but just a great I always remember
that saying, he goes, what if I move you around
a little bit with the tire iron? Because look, if
somebody is beating you with a tire iron, you're moving. Yeah,
but you're moving around. Yeah, yeah, I think we don't
(13:33):
endorse show. But the but but the vibe, that's right,
that's the part of that's the point of the story,
not the actual breakdown of the legalness of of of
the legality.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I love I love that he he was breaking out sopranos.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
That's right, that's right, that's right, all right. New Disney
travel deals for the summer. Maybe you're gonna take the
kids on a Disney cruise or Disney travel. You'll need
to know this gang.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
You'll need to know spinning through Disney is a whirlwind.
But can you maximize your day at Disney while thank
you do a budget? First tip from my guide Carrie Hayner,
who's a member of the free consultation service called Plan Disney,
Start early, road drop. Are we ready?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Okay? Next up? It's a good tip. Start early, Okay,
next up?
Speaker 8 (14:25):
Instead of paying for faster line access.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
The Disneyland app is going to be your best friend
throughout the day. You're gonna be able to see wait
times five minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Great, not that, let's do it. And what about character meals?
Carrie says, no need to pay extra.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And you go into the app and the map clicked
on characters, and here you can see every character that'll
be available around this area.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Selfie time with Manbi.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
We also take advantage of all the free experiences that
are hiding in plain sight. And hey, the best trick
to save money is to minimize purchases.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Okay, you know we should do Crozier. This might be
you know two, I don't know, maybe micro casting here
instead of broadcasting. But we should do the wait times
every day for Disneyland, like right now, the Haunted Mansion
is forty five minutes. Pirates of the Caribbean is fifteen minutes.
That's a good short wave. Star Wars Galaxy Galaxy's Edge
(15:23):
is twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Let's see so now it would be a good time
to go.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, that's a great time. Indiana Adventured Indiana Jones forty
five minutes. Jungle Cruise twenty five minutes. That's not bad.
Let's see here the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
five minutes, five minutes.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Wild Ride Mister Toad's Wild Ride.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Is that in fantasy Land? No, it's in story Tomorrowland.
Let's see Mister Toad's Wild Rode fifteen minutes. Now, let's
see the Matta Horn forty minutes from Matta Horn, Mad
Tea Party five minutes, King Arthur Carousel, that's closed, Dumbo
Flying Elephants twenty minutes, Alice in Wonderland thirty minutes. It's
(16:06):
a small world. If they want to guess, they wait
for It's a small world. Twenty minutes.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Twenty minutes, CROs Uh ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
That's exactly right, rh ten minutes. Krozer nailed it. Man,
you don't need the app, you just have it in
your blog, ask Krozer. Let's talk. Let's see Mark Twain's
riverboat fifteen minutes and Disneyland Railroad five minutes. There you go,
the disney wait times brought to you by the Conway Show.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
You can bring in snacks, you can bring water bottles,
there's no limit to that.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I didn't know that you can bring water bottles and
snacks in the Disneyland on Oh.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
So they had these stations all over they do all
over throughout the parks.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
And snacks.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Sure, she's in salami perfect and it's totally okay.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
To bring simes in.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
We do eat our meals in the park. But these
were the only purchases on the day. So at a
fifteen dollars lunch, at a fifteen dollars dinner, and then
the cost of my ticket.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's equidi teen dollars dinner at Disneyland. That's what it
costs me fifteen dollars at you know, subway and sandwich
today or no, I went to h what's it? MIC's
what's the micsy mikes? Jersey mic what Jersey Mike? Today
got a regular sub It was fourteen dollars and sixty
five cents.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I don't know if you're gonna do well, fifteen dollars,
got it, done it?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
That's that's what she just said.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Listen.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
So I had a fifteen dollars lunch at a fifteen
dollars dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Fifteen dollars dinner. That's nothing. Well, that's cheap. And then
the cost of my ticket, that's it.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
And about the ticket prices differ day to day, like
I found one for one hundred and four dollars next month,
and even more savings pay for that ticket using a
discounted Disney gift card. Target Red card holders can get
five percent off of Disney gift cards, and wholesale clubs
have Disney cards discounted too, and to really maximize the ticket.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Nighttime, Disney is its own thing. It is.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
So my ticket cost one hundred and twenty six dollars
plus thirty bucks per food, and if you paid for
it with a discounted gift card, that would total forty
eight dollars for fourteen hours.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Of NonStop fun and joy. Okay, that's a good deal.
One hundred and forty eight dollars for the whole day.
That's a sweet deal.
Speaker 8 (18:11):
At Disneyland, Okay, a lightning round of Disney deals coming
up here through December nineteenth. At Disneyland, twenty percent off
of hotel stays of three nights or more for the
first half of twenty twenty six. At disney World, if
you're planning a four night or longer trip, you can
save up to two hundred and fifty bucks a night
on any Walt disney World hotel when you purchase a
fort day theme park ticket from the Walt Disney Travel Company.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh, that's a good deal, all right. Start early. That's
a good rule of thumb when you go to Disneyland
or disney World. Start early. It's Connray Thompson were live
on kfive. You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand
from KFI AM six forty Hey by Am at six
forty is Conway Show. The Burbank airport is back open,
(18:53):
so if you're leaving out of Burbank or arriving in Burbank,
you'll have no trouble. And I know the guys walked
out last night on their behalf. I apologized to everybody
who got screwed up in that airport. Oh wow, friends
of mine did they It's made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
They they didn't. They walked out an act of momentary defiance.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
That's why they should have done that. But they feel
bad they did that. They won't do it again.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That's nice. It's very Unburbank of them to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I mean you always lawed the that's right aspects of
Burbank that you feed it correct.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, and that's not one of them. It's embarrassing. Yeah,
all right, let's talk. Oh here, it is interesting. This
has to do with airports too. This Colorado guy was
stunned by what they charged him for parking at the
Denver Airport. How about this bill when you get you know, whenever,
whenever you use parking at airport, it's always busy, it's
always expensive. But this guy got really hit over the head.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Grab your tickets, wipe your card, and head out.
Speaker 10 (19:49):
After dropping off, my wife went through the parking gates
as usual.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Didn't really think anything of it.
Speaker 11 (19:56):
It's the drill at DAA. There's nothing to think about
this was.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
The ticket that I got. It shows I entered the
West Garage. I arrived at one thirty four pm on
October the second, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Okay, let's let's keep this in mind, and I'm gonna
ask you how much you think this was?
Speaker 10 (20:12):
Okay, I'm PM on October this.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Okay, let's do it here.
Speaker 10 (20:15):
It is one thirty four pm on October the second,
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, October second of this year. He entered the gates. Sure,
when did you leave?
Speaker 11 (20:24):
But for Jim Boyd, that routine ended with the charge
that made him slam on the brakes.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
As the gate was opening, I heard the Okay, how
much do you think they charged him for the Sure? Well,
how I'm sure there for four hours? Oh four hours, I'm.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Gonna say, I'll say forty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh, very close.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
The Chase Bank notification that nineteen thousand, eight hundred and
twenty four dollars had been charged.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
That was gonna be my next guest. Nineteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Almost twenty grand for parking.
Speaker 10 (20:56):
That nineteen thousand, eight hundred and twenty four dollars had
been charged to Denver Parking. My immediate thought was, oh, no,
this is just like what I heard on nine News
a month ago.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
It was exactly that last month Steve on your Side
brought you a story of a woman who parked at
DIA for fourteen hours, but her ticket claimed she had
been there since June twenty fifth, and slapped her with
a twenty three hundred dollars charge.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
Wow, and now it's happened to me to the tune
of almost twenty thousand dollars. Something alerted the system.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now, just eat it. Twenty thousand dollars. Why is everyone
complaining all the time calling nine on your Side? Just
eat it?
Speaker 10 (21:34):
To the fact that I had arrived on June the
sixth at two forty four pm and they were charging
me for that entire time, one hundred and sixty nine
eight hundred and seventy seven minutes.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Well, when Steve on.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
Your Side first reached out to DIA, they told us
this wasn't a widespread issue. We reached out again, they
said there have been four of these incidents since June.
In this instance, DIA's working system thought Jim's car was
there on June sixth.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Weird because I was not at on June the sixth.
Speaker 11 (22:07):
Turns out it was d I A's own system that
messed up getting gym's license plate confused with another cars
one character.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Hey Bellio, it's Bellio in there. I think she is
man Bellio. You've that airport has had its challenges.
Speaker 11 (22:21):
It has.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
It's had some issues over the years, but it's all good.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
They're working some stuff out, Okay, some things. And is
not airport way the hell out of town?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Is it? Ever? And it goes on forever, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
China, it's a bit of a drive, but once you
get used to it, it's not there isn't it? Also
is not airport haunted there?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yes, there is some apart from that.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Apart from that, yeah, And how far is it from downtown?
I heard it's like nine hundred miles. It's not that fun.
It feels not twenty minutes.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
It's actually, well, what's.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
The reason that ever that it feels so far?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I lived in Denver for a short time because there
used to be the airport much closer to town. Yes,
they it was great. It was really close to town. Then
they moved it to the end of the earth and
it's expansive, but it is a long way.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Well, you will always defend. It's really not that far away.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Okay, well it's far than when Stapleton was.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Did they close Stapleton?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, oh I love staying.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
I think it became a training facility.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Stapleton was like five seconds from downtown. Actually really sure.
It literally touched the buildings when you're landing.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, not anymore.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
One character apart a be mistaken for an eight. That
mismatch stuck Jym with nearly twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
That's why that's a That's what everybody believes in aid.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I A man.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
This guy will not This guy will not be a
big AI supporter.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, is it DA or d I A d I A.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Thank goodness, we still had some credit available on our
credit card. Other people you know that might have totally
maxed them out and created all kinds of problems.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's a rich guy who has more than he has
over twenty thousand dollars, and then that's.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
What we could float it for a month or two.
We got we got worked out.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
He's at that kind of room on a card. Twenty grand. Yeah,
you can charge them for twenty grand, and nobody like
your bank just says Hey, you know you have that charge.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, no, sweat, We'll deal with it later.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
My bank would have said, you're not That gate's not
going up, You're not leaving there bub.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
Somehow, there's got to be some safeguards. They need to
figure out what's going on with their system.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
Jim confirmed he's getting a refund, but that take a
drill at DIA won't feel like such a no brainer anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Unbelievable twenty thousand dollars for parking.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
That's a big hit.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And he complained like all those people did. All right,
we're live on KF I am six forty more tom
wwayn Thompson if I am sick forty Tomoys Show with
Mark Thompson and Krozier joins us.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Krozer gots a slide in.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Krozer was part of that big Leno garage tour that
we took today.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
That was great, so unbelievably amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I'm surprised you made it through the tour considering your
accident you had over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Oh my foot?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah yeah, can you tell Thompson what you did?
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Oh no, I dropped a like a fifty pound box
of floor tiles on my foot.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Oh my, oh my big toe, just the big toe.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Oh, it's it's nice and purple right now, that dark
nice all.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
The time, or just when you're standing on it, or
well just when you're walking.
Speaker 9 (25:17):
Right now, it's the swelling's going down a little bit,
so I can I get the little pings of pain,
but otherwise I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And there's nothing that they can really do for you.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
No, that's the thing.
Speaker 9 (25:26):
That's why my wife was like, you're gonna go to
the mergency room, you go to gurage and cars them.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
What are they going to do if it's broken, they
can't cast it. Yeah, so it's all pain tolerance, you know.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But but that's almost with anything, you know, if you
get you know, like a fingertip, you break anything from
like the last knuckle on, they can't really.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Do anyth Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Yeah, yeah, you're just kind of deal with it.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, even if it's smashed, that's you're just gonna have
to live with that.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It was the whole neighborhood heart.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Oh my god. But I love the fact that, you know,
you got a sweet deal at Low's and then it
came back and screw it.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Did Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Every time I get a good deal, Yeah, you'll.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
Pay for this someway or the other. It's not financially, yeah,
physically and I did. I saved about three hundred bucks
on a floor tiling, and yeah, I paid for it
by the time I got home.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Right, It's like yeah, And that's you know, it's always
a void. You always get hurt. And I've noticed this,
at least in my case at our house. Whenever I
avoid a delivery charge, it always knocks me up. If
I try to pick something up in my own car,
my own truck or.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Oh no, no, no, I'm not going to pay for that.
That's what fifty bucks, one hundred bucks I have delivered.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I'll just do it myself. That's right. And that's where
you come back and it haunts you and you get
to work. But you know those tiles that you got,
you know because I've looked at it at home depot.
They're eighteen inches by eighteen inches, which is a standard
for outdoor.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
These are the like the eighty by like sixteen.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
They're like planks almost, and they're made a concrete waterproof.
They snap together so and I don't need to tear
up the tile floor. That's down. They're currently just put it.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Right on top.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
They're a little thinner, they're like, yeah, yeah, they're real thin. Yeah,
but they're fantastic.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
But the ones that are thicker, I can't get them
because they each weigh like ninety five pounds.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
Yeah, this was a box of the thinner ones and
it was good. Forty fifty pounds.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
And how do you put those down? Is there a
ceiling or they.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Just snap right together?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
No, just lay them down.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Yeah, they're like tongue in groove and yeah, they snap
over and it's it's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, that's that's a good idea. Where's your loads? Which
one you go to?
Speaker 6 (27:25):
It's in Upland, it's on Benson and Foothill.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Everybody those are you know, our Low's is here an
empire and it's fairly small compared to the Disneyland of
lows out where you live.
Speaker 9 (27:36):
Yeah, well ours, Yeah, mine's a small one like that.
But there's that bigger one that you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, I mean you go to the the lows in
Highland and you can see the curvage of the earth.
I mean you you you need like a golf cart
to get around there. Yeah, you know, it's like I said,
where's plumbing. Oh it's way back on Aisle sixteen and
forty two.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Which is dangerous because when I got time and I
go to Low's and I know I've got time, I
don't have to be home.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
I can be there easy, a good hour.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Or two hours, just easily, just strolling around looking at things.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I'm the same way, just vaping and looking sneak vaping.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
And you get and you get the people that will
like you, will that'll come up to you and you go, hey,
you know where you can get with?
Speaker 6 (28:18):
I know what they look like. I work here.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I will say that Lows has the better what do
they call it? The discount bin. You know we got everything? Yeah,
clearance right, yeah, seventy five percent off. It's great.
Speaker 9 (28:31):
Oh yeah, we always hit it every weekend. We go
to the clearance in the back. Yeah, by the bathrooms
I bought.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I went to the one not the loads here, but
the one up off the five and the one eighteen.
I don't know what city that's in, Silmar, I think,
and it's a huge loads. And I go back to
the clearance area and I see that there's a Tesla
charger kit. Yeah, you know, and it was one hundred
and thirty seven dollars. So I quickly do what you
(28:57):
probably do, and Jen, does you look up to see
how much it's selling for an eBay or Amazon whatever,
And they're selling for five hundred dollars. So I bought
it and Tesla for one hundred and thirty seven dollars.
I don't own a Tesla, and like, oh, I'm going
to make four hundred dollars on this thing. I open
it up. There's parts missing. Oh and and but Low's
(29:22):
was nice about it. Los was like, hey, we're going
to give you. We're going to make it right for you.
