July fourth is around the corner. It's Friday. This is Tuesday.
July fourth is Wednesday. There's a fight three days away
big on July fourth weekend. We're just talking about dating
sites here and how people are getting scammed, and then
(00:22):
somebody sent me this from Business Insider, and it's all
the odd. But first of all, I can't believe this number.
Maybe it's right, but there are over fifteen hundred dating websites.
There's one called Farmers only for farmers and ranchers and
(00:43):
others in the agricultural community. Beautiful people dot com. They
only accept a small percentage of applicants, and you got
to be attractive to be on beautiful people dot com.
So I guess that's sort of a bad day when
they saydea on that one. Probably remember that for a while.
(01:04):
To Date for Love to the number two Date for Love.
It's a site created Oh, it's a site creative for
individuals who cannot have sex due to medical reasons. Wow,
gotta be a slim pickens. Scientific math. They use genetics
and chemical data to help find help find compatible matches,
(01:29):
scientific math. And then you have Trek passions. People are
into Star Trek. I don't know if you want to
base your whole relationship on another guy that's wildly into
Star Trek. But maybe here's another one pounced. It's for
furries and individuals interested in animal characters. Which is which

chick or one one dude. Sizzle connects you with bacon lovers.
(03:06):
Probably gotta be careful there, Like it's some tons of funds,
but Sizzle s I z z L and the one
thing that everybody has in common on that site they
love bacon. And again, I don't know if you want
to tie yourself up into a relationship for the rest
(03:26):
of your life with somebody who just loves bacon. It
seems rather light if you ask me. There's gluten Free
Singles glutenfre Singles dot com. If I was single, I'd
probably hit that one up. Although here's another one. Here's
a cool one for belly o an angel.

careful when she's online. You know you don't want to
be scammed by another dog, so as you go on
with her. Here's another one. Sugar Daddy dating site, Bellio's

This one of the Trek passions for Treki's out there.
Equestrian Cupid. It's like Okay Cupid for people who love
(05:32):
to ride horses.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Probably figure that out. But they're all out there.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
There's fifteen hundred websites out there for single people. Fifteen hundred.
All right, let's talk a little bit about Sam Rubin.
I saw him on TV the other day and I
turned the volume up real quickly. Sam Rubin was a
was a good friend of mine. He was on KTLA.
He was very kind enough to always invite me to
Hollywood things, because I'm not really a Hollywood guy, but
(05:59):
you always invite me to stuff. He was really a
very dear man. He say, he had more friends than
I think anybody I've ever met. Guy just do everybody.
And he had passed away unexpectedly. And now they set
up a scholarship for journalism in his name.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
It's a great idea.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
So as we all know, our Sam Rubin was a
champion for anyone who was interested in broadcast journalism, and
over the years he mentored, encouraged, and advised countless individuals
who went on to achieve great success in both television
news and the entertainment industry to continue doing the great
work that he started. We are announcing the Sam Ruben
(06:39):
Memorial Scholarship, which pays.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
How about that the Sam Ruben Memorial Scholarship.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
We are announcing the Sam Ruben Memorial Scholarship. It's a
great ideas tribute to that legacy of nurturing and fostering
young talent.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So it's got to be maybe, I don't know, maybe
they pay for college for somebody for four years, you know,
like two three hundred grand something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I bet that's what it is.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Students who are currently studying journalism and demonstrate a strong
interest in entertainment news are encouraged to apply. For information
on the application process and eligibility requirements, head on over
to KTLA dot com slash Sam Ruben Scholarship. The deadline
to apply for the five thousand dollars scholarship.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh five okay, well that's the start, right, Yeah. Five grand.
That could you know, pay off some student loans or
put somebody into college. You know, maybe your five thousand
dollars short of getting into UCLA usc that could put
you over the top.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Apply for the five thousand dollars scholarship is July thirty
first of this year. What a beautiful way to continue
his legacy.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
That is.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Great.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I mean, it's just another one of those things that
he would.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Have loved yeah, gosh, yeah, it's rectally beautiful.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I was trying to think of this today at Bellio.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I don't know anybody in Los Angeles, in TV or
radio that would have that if they unexpectedly died, that
they would have had five to eight straight days of
tributes to the guy. Do you remember when KTLA when
he died. KTLA announced that, I think like a ten
you know, I don't know, maybe ten eleven o'clock in
(08:19):
the morning. They got a Friday, a Thursday or Friday,
and then they did twenty four hour coverage on Sam's
life in for like five days.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Just shows you the impact they had on everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I kept tuning in. It was great.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, And they had everybody come in to talk about Sam, celebrities, athletes,
people live in LA. People are fans of KTLA and
fans of Sam Rubin and they But I don't know
anybody else that could get that kind of coverage.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Do you not?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Off the top of my head.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
No, nobody, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I mean, if I passed away, there would probably be
a mention of it, and then you know, Mark Thompson
would be sitting here, you know, I'm doing a topic
on how I got a speeding ticket. It was horrible.
I was going ninety, you know, and I got a ticket.
You know, f these CHP guys, you know, they're so
(09:13):
TICKI tack God Danger Market.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It's so sad about Tim, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, well we'll get back to that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But I'm going to pay five thousand dollars more in
insurance A lot, a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's my number that I can't even get my head around.
I don't know what am I going to do. I'm sorry
you said what belly O? Is that your name? Bello?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah? Yeah, Tim always called me Bellio.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Oh yeah, Okay, we don't seem to be broken up either,
a little bit, it seems. Yeah, it doesn't seem like
you do anyway. So I'm on the one oh one.
I'm in the diamond lane right and I'm doing ninety,
you know, because that's how fast I go in my
h my electric car.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I got a ticket. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Anyway, If you got a ticket, call us one eight
hundred five to one five three four, did.
Speaker 3 (09:55):

hundred five to one one.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Five insurance you forgot your sure is.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Going to go through the roof. I can't afford that.
I can't afford it at all. Is uh accent changes.
I don't know if you noticed that. It doesn't but
my impersonation.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
So you got a new couch. Okay, months.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
All right, the Diddy trial, and they've reached a verdict
on some of these charges. I haven't really been following
that trial much. I guess it's in New York. Maybe
it was in LA I would have followed it, but
didn't follow closely. But here's what they have reached so far.
(10:44):
P Diddy on trial in New York. Let's find out
what's going on with this guy.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
We are just getting this in right now in this
Sean Dittycombs trial. Like you said, it's a partial verdict.
So the jury has reached a verdict on counts two, three, four,
and five, so four out of the five counts. The
note says that they're unable to reach a verdict on
the racketeering conspiracy count, so a reminder for the other
ones that they are able to reach a decision on
(11:10):
count one. Was the racketeering conspiracy. So count two is
sex trafficking by force, fraud or corrosion. Count three is
transportation to engage in prostitution. Count four sex trafficking by
forced fraud corpersion. Okay, and count find transportation to engage
in prostitution. And this, as you know, is a maximum
sentence of the transportation to engage in prostitution up to
(11:31):
ten years. But did it can't face up to life
in prison. So the jury is telling the judge they
have a partial verdict. They can only reach a decision
on four of the five counts. We do not know
what that decision is on those four of the five counts.
The judge has instructed them to go back and to
keep deliberating and to do the job that they were
summoned to do. He wants them to go back and
(11:53):
reach a decision on all five of the charges.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
All right, So maybe they got to work over July
fourth weekend to get that final verdict on the first charge.
So here's how it is explained. The partial verdict explained
on ABC seven.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
They have made a decision on both counts of sex
trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. This is in relation
to his ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura and a witness who
testified under the pseudonym Jane. If convicted did he faces
a maximum sentence of life in prison for each count.
The jury also made a decision on both counts of
transportation to engage in prostitution, also relating to these past relationships.
(12:34):
If he's found guilty, he would face a maximum sentence
of ten years in prison for each Now Ditty has
pleaded not guilty to these charges, but an attorney we
spoke to, Trey Lovell, says the speed at which these
decisions have come in really makes a statement. He says
the case the prosecution made was either a slam dunk
or so bad that they didn't need much time to
think it over. In these two days, we know the
(12:56):
jury has sent multiple notes to the judge while deliberating,
but now we wait for them to make a decision
on racketeering level. Says, it's the most complicated charge to prove.
Speaker 8 (13:06):
That requires at least two predicate crimes, that requires a
criminal enterprise. And remember this is all emanating from things
that happen, you know, within Ditty's private life, within his
relations with his girlfriends and when you're trying to make
a racketeering case against somebody for acting within, you know,
(13:28):
the confines of their own bedroom, their relationships.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
It's tough.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
If Diddy is found guilty on that racketeering charge, he
faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. Again, the
jury will return for deliberations tomorrow that we'll start at
six am hour time.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, well, we'll see. They have counts two, three, four,
and five. They've decided pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
And I don't know. Maybe if that's maybe it's good
for him, maybe it's not. I don't know. Maybe it
was a slam dung and they voted guilty. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
But this, uh, the most difficult one is the first charge,
the racketeering charge, and they have not reached a decision
on that, so as soon as they do, you'll hear
it first here on k FI.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yes, all right, well we'll come back. We have.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
A retired police officer. He flies the helicopter for Huntington Beach.
His name is Mark Wershing, and we're gonna have one.
He's retiring after a very long, successful career as the
senior pilot for the air support for Huntington Beach Police Department,
and we'll see what's going on with that.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Dude.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Huntington Beach is going to have a major retirement. The
senior pilot for their helicopter and their air watch is
retiring after I don't know, three four to five decades,
and he is with us. Mark Worsh Mark you.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
There, Yes, sir, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Hey, congratulations.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
How many years has it been so as an officer,
just shy of thirty years, but I've been with the
department since nineteen ninety if you if you count cadet time,
I've worked every fourth of July since I was fifteen
years old with explorer times. So I'm excited to finally
have a fourth of July off.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You know, I know that Huntington Beach, I know the
a chief par and a couple of guys on the forest.
But there's a strict rule if you are a cop
in Huntington Beach, you do not get the fourth off.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
That is true. I've never had one off, and neither
has anybody that's ever worked there, and so.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You can't even have a vacation at that time. He
wants everybody on the streets.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
That's right. It's one of those dates that you just
plan around. If there's something exciting going on that day,
you just you're working, right.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But you know what, I imagine that ninety percent of
the cops or the you know, the officers that work
in Huntington Beach would want to be there anyway. It's
such a great party.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It is. It was a little different back when I
started in the late nineties. We had a lot of fun.
It's it's tame down and I think we've pushed everybody
next door to Newport Beach.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Okay, all right, but you know what I love about
Huntington Beach is they're really relaxed with with where you
can drink on your property during that parade. They say,
all you have to do is be behind a fence,
but that could be a string on a pencil.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
That's right. And what we like is that the citizens
of Huntington Beach. I've never seen a community support their
first responders like Huntington Beach. It's spectacular. You go out,
you know, during during the riots and the things that
were going on, and you've got citizens out there cheering
for the cops. So I've never seen anything like it anywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, And I noticed this because I was down there
during one of the mischief make when mischief makers came
in from I don't know, from out of town, and
I noticed that the Huntington Beach cops stepped you pretty
quick when that happens.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yes, they do. They don't. They don't. You know, they
enforce the law like every one should do. And they
don't put up with you know, people's businesses getting vandalized
or people assaulting people. You know, peacefully protest. That's fine,
but once you've crossed that line, it's not happening in
a ninth of beach.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'll tell you a quick story on how my car
was broken into in Huntington Beach. I went to we went,
we're doing the live remote and it was parked underground
and we did I think it was a BJ's or
one of those restauran restaurants down there. I went back
to my car. My window was gone and there was
glass everywhere on the outside. So I said to the
parking attendant, I said, hey, what happened here? And he goes,
(17:33):
oh my god, he goes, somebody must have broken your window.
I said, I don't think anything's stolen in the car.
I looked through the car. And so he says, you
want to call the cops. Says, yeah, I might as well,
you know, fill out a you know, a report. So
two cops show up there, very nice. And the guy's
looking at it and he says, you know what, he says,
I don't see a lot of the glass that should
still be there. I don't know what broke your window.
(17:54):
He says, can I borrow your keys? I said, yeah, yeah, sure,
So I get my keys. He starts the car up.
He puts the window up. The window wasn't broken. The
window was down. That glass was from somebody else's car.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Oh hey, it happens right, it was.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
How embarrassing though the guy, you know, he goes, window
goes up. Oh thanks, fellows, Sorry to bother you. Sorry
to bother you, fellas. Are you gonna be staying in
Huntington Beach or in southern California? Are you gonna do
what some cops do and take off to Arizona.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
No, we're staying here. My wife and I we spend
most of our time at the beach, and to me,
a lake or a river is not like the salt water.
So we are going nowhere, We're staying here.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I was just talking to my boss, Brian Long, and
we have the same opinion. There are two types of
people in the United States, people who left California and
people who can't wait to get back.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I couldn't agree more with that.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, hey, so, but.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You must have had the greatest job in maybe perhaps
in California. Flying a helicopter for Huntington Bach has got
to be one of the premier jobs.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I would not disagree with you. I feel I have
felt very blessed over the twenty plus years I've been flying.
The environment we fly at in Huntington Beach, the coastline
is beautiful. You know, I was born and raised in
Huntington Beach, and until I started flying, you don't really
you don't. You don't get an idea of just how
beautiful it is.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Right.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
There's still a lot of open space out there, the Bolsachica, wetlands,
and you know the beach, pristine white beaches. They combam
every night. So something to say about that.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
When are they I've heard talk of that. When are
they going to pave over the wetlands? And put that
mall in. Is that coming up?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yeah? I heard they're going to actually be doing it
next year.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
No, that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I'm not gonna happen. Snowy. The snowy plvers are, you know,
much more popular than the cement.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I guess so, Mark Wershing as well us retiring after
thirty plus years. I also heard that you got into
trouble as a kid with Huntington Beach cops. Is that true?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Oh you must have talked to Phil Wigley or somebody. Yes,
I did so when I was ten years old. You
want me to tell you the start? All right, I'm
just gonna throw myself on the out there. So ten
years old, I had a brand new spotlight, million candlepower.
I'm outside on the street and I see the helicopter
fly over, so of course I had to shine my
light about it. Well, within about five minutes, the whole
(20:23):
force was on my street. Ran inside. It was Mother's Day.
I remember that my mom was very happy and so
these you know, back in the mid eighties, the officers
at Huntington Beach were six' five. Plus these large men
at my door and they bussed, me WHICH i had
later found. Out they told me THAT i blinded the,
(20:43):
PILOTS i blew out the, infrared and that it was
a federal offense and that they were going to go
talk to the, pilots assess the damage and determine whether
or not they were going to come and arrest. Me
that so my mom told, me, well you're sleeping in your,
clothes and you know they may be coming and picking
up the next that, night and you know the next They,
YEAH i had to write an apology, letter go down
and deliver it to the chief and the next, day
(21:05):
and that was super. Exciting but that was the extent
of my. Mischief.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Buddy there's a very fine line between kids that get
into mischief and then go into law.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Enforce But i've, noticed.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Well that's very. True i've been told by the best
that your best officers are those that are either going
to go just left and start going the bad way
and just. Right you got to get that officer right
in the, middle and that's those are the ones that'll
have a, long successful. Career that's.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
RIGHT i didn't know this That Huntington beach was the
first to have air support In Orange county and the
fifth in the.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Nation that's, wild that's.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
It, yeah we started in nineteen sixty. Eight there's a
great story about. THAT i you know that the Gentleman
Bob morrison that started our. Unit it was there was
a battle Between Huntington beach And coasta mesaon who was
going to be. First and you, know he told some
he was a smooth, talker and he convinced our city

quadruple pane windows up on the hill there and they
just don't hear. Us but we're also sensitive to, it
and we know it's, loud and we try to fly
higher if we can at. Night but most of the.
Complaints you, know you do have your people that think

July fourth is around the corner. It's Friday. This is Tuesday.
July fourth is Wednesday. There's a fight three days away
big on July fourth weekend. We're just talking about dating
sites here and how people are getting scammed, and then
(00:22):
somebody sent me this from Business Insider, and it's all
the odd. But first of all, I can't believe this number.
Maybe it's right, but there are over fifteen hundred dating websites.
There's one called Farmers only for farmers and ranchers and
(00:43):
others in the agricultural community. Beautiful people dot com. They
only accept a small percentage of applicants, and you got
to be attractive to be on beautiful people dot com.
So I guess that's sort of a bad day when
they saydea on that one. Probably remember that for a while.
(01:04):
To Date for Love to the number two Date for Love.
It's a site created Oh, it's a site creative for
individuals who cannot have sex due to medical reasons. Wow,
gotta be a slim pickens. Scientific math. They use genetics
and chemical data to help find help find compatible matches,
(01:29):
scientific math. And then you have Trek passions. People are
into Star Trek. I don't know if you want to
base your whole relationship on another guy that's wildly into
Star Trek. But maybe here's another one pounced. It's for
furries and individuals interested in animal characters. Which is which
(01:51):
is the one that Angel always talks about? Angel, you're
still on there?
Speaker 2 (01:55):

a thrender and it's for people who want to have
threesomes and and not be tied down to just one
chick or one one dude. Sizzle connects you with bacon lovers.
(03:06):
Probably gotta be careful there, Like it's some tons of funds,

thing that everybody has in common on that site they
love bacon. And again, I don't know if you want
to tie yourself up into a relationship for the rest
(03:26):
of your life with somebody who just loves bacon. It
seems rather light if you ask me. There's gluten Free
Singles glutenfre Singles dot com. If I was single, I'd
probably hit that one up. Although here's another one. Here's
a cool one for belly o an angel.
Speaker 3 (03:46):

and lets your dog meet up in other areas with
other dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
So hey, it's kind.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Olive would love to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, t I N d Og. But you know, be
careful when she's online. You know you don't want to
be scammed by another dog, so as you go on
with her. Here's another one. Sugar Daddy dating site, Bellio's
favorite before she hooked up with John.

Sugar. Are you just waking up?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Probably figure that out. But they're all out there.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
There's fifteen hundred websites out there for single people. Fifteen hundred.
All right, let's talk a little bit about Sam Rubin.
I saw him on TV the other day and I
turned the volume up real quickly. Sam Rubin was a
was a good friend of mine. He was on KTLA.
He was very kind enough to always invite me to
Hollywood things, because I'm not really a Hollywood guy, but
(05:59):
you always invite me to stuff. He was really a
very dear man. He say, he had more friends than
I think anybody I've ever met. Guy just do everybody.
And he had passed away unexpectedly. And now they set
up a scholarship for journalism in his name.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
It's a great idea.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
So as we all know, our Sam Rubin was a
champion for anyone who was interested in broadcast journalism, and
over the years he mentored, encouraged, and advised countless individuals
who went on to achieve great success in both television
news and the entertainment industry to continue doing the great
work that he started. We are announcing the Sam Ruben
(06:39):
Memorial Scholarship, which pays.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
How about that the Sam Ruben Memorial Scholarship.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
We are announcing the Sam Ruben Memorial Scholarship. It's a
great ideas tribute to that legacy of nurturing and fostering
young talent.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
So it's got to be maybe, I don't know, maybe
they pay for college for somebody for four years, you know,
like two three hundred grand something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I bet that's what it is.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Students who are currently studying journalism and demonstrate a strong
interest in entertainment news are encouraged to apply. For information
on the application process and eligibility requirements, head on over
to KTLA dot com slash Sam Ruben Scholarship. The deadline
to apply for the five thousand dollars scholarship.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh five okay, well that's the start, right, Yeah. Five grand.
That could you know, pay off some student loans or
put somebody into college. You know, maybe your five thousand
dollars short of getting into UCLA usc that could put
you over the top.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
Apply for the five thousand dollars scholarship is July thirty
first of this year. What a beautiful way to continue
his legacy.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
That is.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Great.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I mean, it's just another one of those things that
he would.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Have loved yeah, gosh, yeah, it's rectally beautiful.
Speaker 8 (07:54):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I was trying to think of this today at Bellio.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I don't know anybody in Los Angeles, in TV or
radio that would have that if they unexpectedly died, that
they would have had five to eight straight days of
tributes to the guy. Do you remember when KTLA when
he died. KTLA announced that, I think like a ten
you know, I don't know, maybe ten eleven o'clock in
(08:19):
the morning. They got a Friday, a Thursday or Friday,
and then they did twenty four hour coverage on Sam's
life in for like five days.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Just shows you the impact they had on everyone.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
I kept tuning in. It was great.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, And they had everybody come in to talk about Sam, celebrities, athletes,
people live in LA. People are fans of KTLA and
fans of Sam Rubin and they But I don't know
anybody else that could get that kind of coverage.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Do you not?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Off the top of my head.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
No, nobody, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I mean, if I passed away, there would probably be
a mention of it, and then you know, Mark Thompson
would be sitting here, you know, I'm doing a topic
on how I got a speeding ticket. It was horrible.
I was going ninety, you know, and I got a ticket.
You know, f these CHP guys, you know, they're so
(09:13):
TICKI tack God Danger Market.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
It's so sad about Tim, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, well we'll get back to that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
But I'm going to pay five thousand dollars more in
insurance A lot, a lot.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
It's my number that I can't even get my head around.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah? Yeah, Tim always called me Bellio.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Oh yeah, Okay, we don't seem to be broken up either,
a little bit, it seems. Yeah, it doesn't seem like
you do anyway. So I'm on the one oh one.
I'm in the diamond lane right and I'm doing ninety,
you know, because that's how fast I go in my
h my electric car.
Speaker 3 (09:47):

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Going to go through the roof. I can't afford that.
I can't afford it at all. Is uh accent changes.
I don't know if you noticed that. It doesn't but
my impersonation.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
So you got a new couch. Okay, months.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
All right, the Diddy trial, and they've reached a verdict
on some of these charges. I haven't really been following
that trial much. I guess it's in New York. Maybe
it was in LA I would have followed it, but
didn't follow closely. But here's what they have reached so far.
(10:44):
P Diddy on trial in New York. Let's find out
what's going on with this guy.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
We are just getting this in right now in this
Sean Dittycombs trial. Like you said, it's a partial verdict.
So the jury has reached a verdict on counts two, three, four,
and five, so four out of the five counts. The
note says that they're unable to reach a verdict on
the racketeering conspiracy count, so a reminder for the other
ones that they are able to reach a decision on
(11:10):
count one. Was the racketeering conspiracy. So count two is
sex trafficking by force, fraud or corrosion. Count three is
transportation to engage in prostitution. Count four sex trafficking by
forced fraud corpersion. Okay, and count find transportation to engage
in prostitution. And this, as you know, is a maximum
sentence of the transportation to engage in prostitution up to
(11:31):
ten years. But did it can't face up to life
in prison. So the jury is telling the judge they
have a partial verdict. They can only reach a decision
on four of the five counts. We do not know
what that decision is on those four of the five counts.
The judge has instructed them to go back and to
keep deliberating and to do the job that they were
summoned to do. He wants them to go back and
(11:53):
reach a decision on all five of the charges.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
All right, So maybe they got to work over July
fourth weekend to get that final verdict on the first charge.
So here's how it is explained. The partial verdict explained
on ABC seven.
Speaker 9 (12:12):
They have made a decision on both counts of sex
trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. This is in relation
to his ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura and a witness who
testified under the pseudonym Jane. If convicted did he faces
a maximum sentence of life in prison for each count.
The jury also made a decision on both counts of
transportation to engage in prostitution, also relating to these past relationships.
(12:34):
If he's found guilty, he would face a maximum sentence
of ten years in prison for each Now Ditty has
pleaded not guilty to these charges, but an attorney we
spoke to, Trey Lovell, says the speed at which these
decisions have come in really makes a statement. He says
the case the prosecution made was either a slam dunk
or so bad that they didn't need much time to
think it over. In these two days, we know the
(12:56):
jury has sent multiple notes to the judge while deliberating,
but now we wait for them to make a decision
on racketeering level. Says, it's the most complicated charge to prove.
Speaker 8 (13:06):
That requires at least two predicate crimes, that requires a
criminal enterprise. And remember this is all emanating from things
that happen, you know, within Ditty's private life, within his
relations with his girlfriends and when you're trying to make
a racketeering case against somebody for acting within, you know,
(13:28):
the confines of their own bedroom, their relationships.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
It's tough.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
If Diddy is found guilty on that racketeering charge, he
faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. Again, the
jury will return for deliberations tomorrow that we'll start at
six am hour time.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, well, we'll see. They have counts two, three, four,
and five. They've decided pretty quickly.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
And I don't know. Maybe if that's maybe it's good
for him, maybe it's not. I don't know. Maybe it
was a slam dung and they voted guilty. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
But this, uh, the most difficult one is the first charge,
the racketeering charge, and they have not reached a decision
on that, so as soon as they do, you'll hear
it first here on k FI.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yes, all right, well we'll come back. We have.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
A retired police officer. He flies the helicopter for Huntington Beach.
His name is Mark Wershing, and we're gonna have one.
He's retiring after a very long, successful career as the
senior pilot for the air support for Huntington Beach Police Department,
and we'll see what's going on with that.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Dude.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Huntington Beach is going to have a major retirement. The
senior pilot for their helicopter and their air watch is
retiring after I don't know, three four to five decades,
and he is with us. Mark Worsh Mark you.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
There, Yes, sir, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Hey, congratulations.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
How many years has it been so as an officer,
just shy of thirty years, but I've been with the
department since nineteen ninety if you if you count cadet time,
I've worked every fourth of July since I was fifteen
years old with explorer times. So I'm excited to finally
have a fourth of July off.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You know, I know that Huntington Beach, I know the
a chief par and a couple of guys on the forest.
But there's a strict rule if you are a cop
in Huntington Beach, you do not get the fourth off.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
That is true. I've never had one off, and neither
has anybody that's ever worked there, and so.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You can't even have a vacation at that time. He
wants everybody on the streets.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
That's right. It's one of those dates that you just
plan around. If there's something exciting going on that day,
you just you're working, right.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But you know what, I imagine that ninety percent of
the cops or the you know, the officers that work
in Huntington Beach would want to be there anyway. It's
such a great party.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It is. It was a little different back when I
started in the late nineties. We had a lot of fun.
It's it's tame down and I think we've pushed everybody
next door to Newport Beach.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Okay, all right, but you know what I love about
Huntington Beach is they're really relaxed with with where you
can drink on your property during that parade. They say,
all you have to do is be behind a fence,
but that could be a string on a pencil.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
That's right. And what we like is that the citizens
of Huntington Beach. I've never seen a community support their
first responders like Huntington Beach. It's spectacular. You go out,
you know, during during the riots and the things that
were going on, and you've got citizens out there cheering
for the cops. So I've never seen anything like it anywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, And I noticed this because I was down there
during one of the mischief make when mischief makers came
in from I don't know, from out of town, and
I noticed that the Huntington Beach cops stepped you pretty
quick when that happens.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yes, they do. They don't. They don't. You know, they
enforce the law like every one should do. And they
don't put up with you know, people's businesses getting vandalized
or people assaulting people. You know, peacefully protest. That's fine,
but once you've crossed that line, it's not happening in
a ninth of beach.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'll tell you a quick story on how my car
was broken into in Huntington Beach. I went to we went,
we're doing the live remote and it was parked underground
and we did I think it was a BJ's or
one of those restauran restaurants down there. I went back
to my car. My window was gone and there was
glass everywhere on the outside. So I said to the
parking attendant, I said, hey, what happened here? And he goes,
(17:33):
oh my god, he goes, somebody must have broken your window.
I said, I don't think anything's stolen in the car.
I looked through the car. And so he says, you
want to call the cops. Says, yeah, I might as well,
you know, fill out a you know, a report. So
two cops show up there, very nice. And the guy's
looking at it and he says, you know what, he says,
I don't see a lot of the glass that should
still be there. I don't know what broke your window.
(17:54):
He says, can I borrow your keys? I said, yeah, yeah, sure,
So I get my keys. He starts the car up.
He puts the window up. The window wasn't broken. The
window was down. That glass was from somebody else's car.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Oh hey, it happens right, it was.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
How embarrassing though the guy, you know, he goes, window
goes up. Oh thanks, fellows, Sorry to bother you. Sorry
to bother you, fellas. Are you gonna be staying in
Huntington Beach or in southern California? Are you gonna do
what some cops do and take off to Arizona.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
No, we're staying here. My wife and I we spend
most of our time at the beach, and to me,
a lake or a river is not like the salt water.
So we are going nowhere, We're staying here.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I was just talking to my boss, Brian Long, and
we have the same opinion. There are two types of
people in the United States, people who left California and
people who can't wait to get back.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I couldn't agree more with that.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, hey, so, but.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You must have had the greatest job in maybe perhaps
in California. Flying a helicopter for Huntington Bach has got
to be one of the premier jobs.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I would not disagree with you. I feel I have
felt very blessed over the twenty plus years I've been flying.
The environment we fly at in Huntington Beach, the coastline
is beautiful. You know, I was born and raised in
Huntington Beach, and until I started flying, you don't really
you don't. You don't get an idea of just how
beautiful it is.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Right.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
There's still a lot of open space out there, the Bolsachica, wetlands,
and you know the beach, pristine white beaches. They combam
every night. So something to say about that.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
When are they I've heard talk of that. When are
they going to pave over the wetlands? And put that
mall in. Is that coming up?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yeah? I heard they're going to actually be doing it
next year.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
No, that's a great idea.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I'm not gonna happen. Snowy. The snowy plvers are, you know,
much more popular than the cement.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I guess so, Mark Wershing as well us retiring after
thirty plus years. I also heard that you got into
trouble as a kid with Huntington Beach cops. Is that true?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Oh you must have talked to Phil Wigley or somebody. Yes,
I did so when I was ten years old. You
want me to tell you the start? All right, I'm
just gonna throw myself on the out there. So ten
years old, I had a brand new spotlight, million candlepower.
I'm outside on the street and I see the helicopter
fly over, so of course I had to shine my
light about it. Well, within about five minutes, the whole
(20:23):
force was on my street. Ran inside. It was Mother's Day.
I remember that my mom was very happy and so
these you know, back in the mid eighties, the officers
at Huntington Beach were six' five. Plus these large men
at my door and they bussed, me WHICH i had
later found. Out they told me THAT i blinded the,
(20:43):
PILOTS i blew out the, infrared and that it was
a federal offense and that they were going to go
talk to the, pilots assess the damage and determine whether
or not they were going to come and arrest. Me
that so my mom told, me, well you're sleeping in your,
clothes and you know they may be coming and picking
up the next that, night and you know the next They,
YEAH i had to write an apology, letter go down
and deliver it to the chief and the next, day
(21:05):
and that was super. Exciting but that was the extent
of my. Mischief.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Buddy there's a very fine line between kids that get
into mischief and then go into law.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Enforce But i've, noticed.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Well that's very. True i've been told by the best
that your best officers are those that are either going
to go just left and start going the bad way
and just. Right you got to get that officer right
in the, middle and that's those are the ones that'll
have a, long successful. Career that's.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
RIGHT i didn't know this That Huntington beach was the
first to have air support In Orange county and the
fifth in the.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Nation that's, wild that's.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
It, yeah we started in nineteen sixty. Eight there's a
great story about. THAT i you know that the Gentleman
Bob morrison that started our. Unit it was there was
a battle Between Huntington beach And coasta mesaon who was
going to be. First and you, know he told some
he was a smooth, talker and he convinced our city
to get an aircraft a few months Before coast To.
Mesa oh, good, oh, oh that's. Right it was.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Up but you guys don't just cut hunting To. Beach
you cover a, Lot you do a lot of work
in surrounding.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Cities we.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Do so we contract With Newport, beach With Coasta mesa
and With, irvine and then we'll do mutual aid with
all agencies all over the county and even state if
we have.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
To where do the most richies complain that you're of
the arab of the helicopter?
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Noise you know what's. Funny you would think it would
Be Newport, beach but it's. NOT i think they've got
quadruple pane windows up on the hill there and they
just don't hear. Us but we're also sensitive to, it
and we know it's, loud and we try to fly
higher if we can at. Night but most of the.
Complaints you, know you do have your people that think
we're always watching, them and it's. Sporadic it's all over the,
place it's not one one general.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Area and then so you're going to be staying in
