Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Thompson's here. Oh my god, thank you. Everybody, Please be seated.
I am overwhelmed and I.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Got you were coming in, buddy, but I'm always always
nice to see you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, it's really good, very great, very I enjoy seeing
you and all of the KFI kids and the KFI
listeners are I kind of can consider myself connected to
them all. I really care well you are connected. Yeah,
you know, I really feel the program like part of
the community of kafires. You get an invite to the
Christmas party, don't you? I'm sure do there you go?
(00:37):
Then you made it. I didn't know that was the
barrier by which we judge these things.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It is with some people tell you then I without
naming names, somebody who used to work here one day
a week didn't get invited to the Christmas party and
he blew up at management, and management said, do you
want me to fire you on the phone or do
you want to come in and I'll fire you?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh wow, I think blowing up in management in general,
if you're only coming in one day a week there's
a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Okay, well, you know what, I agree with you. I
agree with you, And I'll tell you two stories. One
I've always said on the air for young people listening,
and I Leen, I think you're a young person. Eileen
Gonzales in for Krozier. Krozer's out today. Oh show, it's
belly O today. So we've got two scratches too, late scratches.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm laughing because that's like a track term.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yes it is, yes, yeah, yeah, if you have your
program scratch bellio and scratch late scratch, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
One of the that's one of the track terms that
I really like, Like, I really think that's a great term.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's a good term. Scratch anyway, for young people out there,
if you're listening. I and and again, I don't like
to give a lot of tips because I don't think
i've you know, mastered anything in life. But I will
say this, the one thing that I've noticed in working
in corporate America for forty years, forty plus years, is
(02:04):
one of the top rated things that you can sell,
and everybody's got it. You just got to crank it up. Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm.
So if you're enthusiastic about the job, and somebody else
is going up for the same job that has a
similar education, maybe they even have a you know, a
longer education or more talented. Enthusiasm will put you over
that person. Enthusiasm, enthusiasm, enthusiasm in the workplace, it goes
(02:28):
a million miles, Yeah, million miles. And proof of that
is Michelle Cube, who's down the hall right, the most
enthusiastic person. She used to get up and deal with
with Bill Handle every day for twenty six years, never complained,
had a really tough work schedule, and is always upbeat
and always nice and never ever yells at anybody, and
(02:52):
is always upbeat. Oscars the same way. Enthusiasm goes a
long way, especially when all these parts are in an interchange.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I mean, we're not building aircraft carriers. We don't have
those skills that were you know, hand skills. We're not
building bridge, you know, the Golden Gate bridge. You have
to have the skill to do that. These jobs can
be replaced by anybody.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well that's that's not quite true, but it is totally well.
I But what I would say is that they have
the skills and the attitude, which is just a great combination.
I think you do need to bring skills to many jobs,
including these. I mean, what depends what you mean by these.
I mean, I know that we see ourselves as just
you know, people talking, but apparently anyway with them, they
(03:34):
have to put together all the particulars, all the content,
all of the coordination and logistics. They have to be
very smart about this stuff. They have to get up
at the crack of dawn in the case of Michelle,
for years, and to match that with a good attitude. Yeah,
that's a really really good set of skills.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Enthusiasm will take you a long, long way, long way
in life. All Right, Cheryl Crowe is in the news.
I like Cheryl Crowe.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
She is. What happened with Cheryl Crowe?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
She sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds the NPR.
I don't mind that hates Elon Musk. So she sold
her car as her car. Who cares, big controversy, Big controversy. Well,
because people think she's not authentic and that she was lying.
(04:21):
And I'll tell you why. So she said last week
she sold her Tesla because she hates Elon Musk. Okay,
you know, I don't mind that I don't. I don't
when when I look at somebody who's talented like Barbaris
Streis and I hate her politics, but one of those
beautiful voices in the world, what do I do stop
listening to? One of my favorite things to do is
(04:41):
listen to Barbaris Streis and music at Christmas. She's just
one of the greatest Christmas albums in the world. Sure, right,
so I can remove politics from it, you know, from
from how crazy people are. But this Cheryl Crowe, you know,
she said she sold her car because she hates Elon
Musk and she's given the proceeds to NPR.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
In the picture in the video where she's selling her
car and she sees it being driven off on a
on the flatbed of a tow truck, well there's there's
leaves in the tree, which means where she did it,
there are no leaves and there's snow on the ground. Now,
so when did she do it? So after she got
caught saying that, you know that she didn't recently sell
the car. She sold it three months ago, right, So
(05:22):
she lied and then she got caught and then she
said I was waiting for the certificate to confirm that
the money was given an NPR before I announced it.
All right, it's just it's just it's it's just lies.
But I can separate her from her talent.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It was it a lie? Or was she?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
She said she just sold the car, and turns out
she sold it three months ago, and.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
She said, I sold my car. Blah blah blah blah.
They'd be okay with that because I just sold it.
That's right, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But but but but it's if people would just be
authentic and and stop. Here's here's another one. This is
a great story, by the way. So this guy about
ten years ago was busted in la because he had
sex with a girl who was seventeen. And you can't
do that in California, you know, eighteen. Yeah, you got
(06:14):
to be eighteen years old to you know, to roll
around with a guy in his thirties or forties whatever
he was. And so he told the judge, he said, no, no,
we were in Mexico and that's back when you know,
I think Mexico the age of consent to sixteen. He said,
we were in Mexico during spring break when that happened.
So technically she is Mexican. I was in Mexico during
(06:38):
spring break and that's where it happened, So technically I'm
free to walk out. And he said I can prove
it by showing you pictures. And the judge said, okay,
come back next Friday with photos. I'll look at the photos,
and the photos show you clearly were in Mexico at
spring break. She was seventeen, you're thirty two. I'll give
(06:59):
you a complete pass. I'll rip this piece of paper
up and you can walk out the door. He said, fine.
He goes home, he gets her, he flies to Mexico
and they take photos.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He flies back and he shows the judge the photos.
He says, this is us in Port of Iarta during
spring break. And the judge says, port of Iota during
spring break, and you were the only two on the beach.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Wow, prison, prison, Wow. If the guy just thought about it,
you know, just bring some extras with you, bring some extras.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That was the problem with that deal is that he
didn't have an in cast it correct. There's nobody else around.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, spring bacon break in Mexico and there's two people
on the beach. Get out of here, especially in Port
of Iarta. I don't know if you've ever been there.
Oh yeah, there are thousands and thousands of people on
that beach. I love Port of Ire. I was there
with my mom and a couple of my brothers. And
for five dollars you could ride a zebra. And I've
(08:01):
never ridden a zebra.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What is a zebra? It's a horse strike literally you
can find the animal. Yeah, I thought it was some
kind of power boat.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, no, no, no, but you got to get to
the zoo and no, it was an actual zebra.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So my brother has a has a five dollar bill
I think he stole from my mom and says, I'd
like to ride the zebra, right, So he gives them
the five dollars. Zebra, you know, walks around for ten
minutes or so. My brother gets off and he's got
black and white paint on his swimms. They just painted
a horse. Well, they painted a donkey black and white.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Give him some credit.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, I thought he was great. Another another great moment
on that trip. There was a guy who probably weighed
about three hundred pounds and he wanted to do what
are those called where you're on the back.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Night not?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
What is it parasailing, Yeah, where you get a rope
and they take off, and.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So I did it all show? Is that right?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Okay, para it's really I guess the fun thing. I
haven't done it, but I guess it's unbelievable. And so
they get him ready. He hits the beach and he
never takes he's too fat, never takes off. He just
splashing mark against the ocean for about one hundred and
fifty yards before he finally gets it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Oh, he did get it launched. He finally launched because
you have like they have weight tolerances on that stuff,
so they kind of know it's like you're too heavy
to take it, right.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But I think he gave him another twenty and said
let's roll around.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I see he wasn't honest. That's your main point here,
that he should have been more honest. But see your
first point.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Then we saw that same guy because everybody stays at
the same hotel. We saw that same guy later at dinner,
piling food on his plate. And I said to my mom,
and I was young, I was about thirteen or fourteen.
I said, Ma, this is the same guy who was
splashing around and couldn't get airborne. Because he's three hundred
and fifty pounds in front of thousands of people, and
(09:52):
yet he's got two full plates of food, which means
that paras sailing.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Was not rock bottom for him. Not rock bottom. That's wild.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You know, that kind of humiliation is not maybe I
should push away.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Maybe I wasn't maybe as humiliated as you thought he
would be. It was.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It was great, though, man, it was really. That is
why all right.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We got a lot to get to Today.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
We have more news about the airplane crash up in Toronto.
I don't know if you saw this news.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
About it on my show that the videos.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh yeah, the video is crazy, and especially I think
from a private pilot who was videotaping the crack exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Oh that was horrible.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But there were at least two planes. You know a
lot of planes are flying towards Pearson right now and
they haven't scheduled, so they arrived, you know, five minutes apart,
so they can land them safely. Well, yesterday all the
runways were closed, so they had to divert people to Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Montreal,
and I think Calgary. So the plane's coming out west.
(10:51):
We're going to Calgary. So a plane leaves Lisbon and
a plane leaves London and there's no more room for
them anywhere because everybody's packed. Everybody's solid. Three hours out
of London, they had to tell the passengers we got
to go back to London. So there was a six
hour flight to nowhere. And in Lisbon it was even worse.
It was eight hours, eight hours in the air and
you land exactly where you took off. That is a brutal,
(11:14):
bad beat, especially on a vacation. Are you going to
a wedding or you're going to you know yo.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, most people on a plane have someplace.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
To be.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And there's eight hours and you land and the same
gate you go right back to the gate that you
left eight hours later.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
That's brute. Yeah, it is unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

feel like I interrupted and I didn't mean to, and
so don't think I did it purpose.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It was kind of a serious problem.

It was about the fire.

I did not. I it's funny, but my very good friend,
like he moved everything a series of different obligations he
had so we could watch it. So that's great. It
must have been quite the It was awesome, quite the contest.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
The rematches Thursday after tomorrow in Boston in Boston, and
what they say what motivated the USA team is that
the Canadians in Montreal booed our national anthem. Yeah, yeah,
and it fired up the team, right, why would they
do that?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, they booed the national anthem because the new president
has kind of been smack talking him.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's all right, But why would they try to motivate
the other team?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
No, you're right that I don't think that. What's that?
What is that called the the law of unintended consequence? Yes, yes,
that's what that is.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So we'll see what happens Thursday at five pm and
the United States plays Canada again in hockey. Now you're
rooting for the US oh buddy, I'm a big USA
guy all right, to.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
The point where I'm checking.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm anti Drew Dowdy, who's a LA king, But when
he puts on that red jersey, f that guy. I
am always been USA man, Olympics, international sports, always a
big USA fan.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You never have to check your.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I used to sit there with the Olympics and root
for guys and sports I've never even heard of.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Of course, that's what we all did. That's right, that's right,
all right. Southwest we have that in common, Tim, That's
what we have in common, is the American experience.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's right. That's right. Now we sort of split.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Apart wells a little bit, a little bit, we're still family,
that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Southwest Airlines one of my favorite airlines, you know that
leave out of burbank, one of two or three that
leave out a burbank that I enjoy. And they're laying
off a bunch of people, a bunch of people. It's horrible.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Southwest Airlines has always prided itself on never going through
any layoffs in its history, so this is definitely a
shock to the system. CBS News Texas is learning from
a source that those corporate employees should have been in
a meeting this morning where they will find out if
they're in the group that is staying with the airline
or if they're in that fifteen percent that's getting laid off.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Wow, fifteen percent, that's a lot. That's a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Fifteen percent that's getting laid off. Now that fifteen percent
includes about oney seven hundred and fifty employees, and definitely
this has been a shock to the system. We're learning
in a press release from Southwest Airlines that those employees
that will be let go they will be given a
severance package and a post employment benefits package as well.
(15:42):
Though it's also important to note that this does not
impact any flight crews, ground cruis or any ticket agents.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Then who does it impacked?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Who are they getting rid of then, ground cruiser, any
ticket agents. This impacts people at the corporate senior leadership level.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
They're getting rid of corporate senior level position.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They have that many at the corporate fifteen percent of
the workforces corporate senior work.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
For It seems like a lot. It seems like a lot.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
We're also learning from Southwest Airlines said these layoffs will
not happen until April. So these employees who will be
laid off, they will stop work now, but they'll still
get paid. They'll have benefits, salaries and any bonuses.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I never got there. I know, I never got there.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I got it once when KXLS went out of business.
I got a small check to get out because I
had like three more months on my contract. But it
wasn't huge. Yeah, you know, it's just enough to sort
of get byed for.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
When Corolla left kls X, she got like millions, didn't
he Oh yeah, Corolla.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't know if Corolla did. But I know there's
some people I'm not going to name who they are,
but some people who left KLSX and they got a
big fat check.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah. I mean, it's happening more and more with those
It will pay you through wherever, whatever month. I didn't
get that. Well, I love Fox got a the union,
you know for all the years I've worked. I worked
for twenty three years.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Wait, you were Fox for twenty three years?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
No way, yeah, Fox eleven, So I got I know,
I didn't realize it either. Huge check, yeah, I mean
it was huge. It was. It was not you wouldn't
say it was huge, but it was. It was great
to get it was substantial.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Two weeks of employment for every year. I believe that's
the way we got almost the years where the pay.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I don't know if it was doing then. I didn't
know then. It wasn't two weeks of employment. No, no, no,
I did it? Was it come? It came out to
about I'm gonna say a month's worth of Okay, that's
the Vegas trip. Well it was yeah for you, it
was okay.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
If eligible, this all comes inmit's a shake up.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And I didn't got enough money. Wow, I've never felt
worse about myself. And back to Southwest.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Okay, this all comes inmits a shake up in the past.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
By the way, real quickly. Gamblers all do this when
they get Severn checked. The first thing they do is
they go to Vegas. They all, I did it. I
bet you did it. This I swear Tim is right
about it. I did. I wish I could have the
same thing. I wish I could push back on him,
but I cannot. I did the same thing. I got
fired from kalis X on a Thursday or Friday, and
(18:17):
we're in Vegas by Sunday. I had a nice you know,
nice place with a big room and really going for it.
Stayed there for a week a week and depressed out
of my mind when I found the web.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's the weird thing. You just can't, you know, get
your attitude back around exactly.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
This all comes amidst a shake up in the past
six months or so, seven months or so with Southwest Airlines.
This past year they got rid of their signature first come,
first serve, open seating. It's been their tradition since their start.
That will go into effect in twenty twenty six. They're
also adding red eye flights and they also change CEO's
in the past year amidst all the shakeup that Southwest
(18:55):
is seeing recently. Now we're also learning from the airlines
that this decision to cut back will save that two
and ten million dollars this year at three hundred million
next year.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right, So after big layouts like that, after a
big announcement, everybody always checks the stock price because there's
always stockholders to tell people to lay people off. So
let's go south West stock price. Let's see what that
closed dad today.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It was a good market day, I think.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Thirty dollars down twenty eight cents, okay, all right, not bad.
But if you had let me see, if you bought,
you could have bought Southwest stock when they first started
in nineteen eighty five for ninety four cents to share.
Let me guess you made money, No, sixty six cents
(19:42):
a share. You could have bought it for sixty six
cents a share, and now it's at thirty thirty bucks.
If you bought at you know, if you bought, you're
up two seven hundred and thirty percent. If you if
you bought back, then so good for you. But they
had where they have their decline back when everybody went
(20:03):
the toilet, you know, during COVID they at the at
the bottom of that barrel. They were about twenty three
dollars a share, twenty three dollars a share when COVID hit,
and then it went back up to sixty seven. So
you could have made some money. And now it's at
thirty bucks a share, So maybe it's good time to
buy Southwest. I don't know, I don't know thirty dollars,
I don't know. I don't know what it is. But
(20:25):
I'll tell you something that I always kicked myself in
the ass. You know, they always say, buy stock of
something your wife or your daughter or your kids really love,
and that's a way to pick stocks. So I looked
at that at Dutch Brothers because my wife and daughter
loved Dutch Brothers, that coffee place, and I could have
It was at twenty three dollars when I looked at
(20:47):
it in October, I'm like, oh, okay, I don't know
in any stock, by the way, but I just like
to follow them. So it's at twenty three bucks a share,
and I said, oh, I should buy a Dutch Brothers
because my daughter, my wife really liked that Dutch Brothers.
It was at twenty three bucks. To close today at
eighty five dollars a share. Whoa eighty five bucks?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It took the run.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I missed the boat again, took missed the boat.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Mark Thompson is here in the house.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
As the kids say, I think they still use that term.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
They still use that term stuffs in the house.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, for sure. It is wild how that in the
house has hung on. Yeah, it is. I like that.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I like it groovy, sort of hung on to I
think I think.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Groovy kind of faded though it did. Yeah, I believe so.
I feel bad I just said it today. You know
what all is from that same era is solid. Like
when you solid going you agree with somebody gets solid slot.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I don't like the abbreviation of merchandise to merch I
think that's a lazy thing.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well it's sort of caught on tim It.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Has no look. I'm not fighting it. I just think
it's lazy. You know, you don't have I mean, you
don't have the time to say merchandise.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's not that, it's just kind of a jargon thing.
I think.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I think your schedule is a little too tight if
you have to reduce merchandise to merch I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
This is me all right.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We have a huge audience, and I want to talk
about us as the Conway Show. But KFI has a
huge audience in Santa Clarita and Valencia, you know, and
New Hall. We get them. Every once in a while,
we get the thing called hot zips. I'm kind of
embarrassing title hot zips, and they show us the zip
codes where most people are listening, and it always seems
(22:31):
to be Long Beach and Santa Clarita fighting for number
one and number two always, So we'd like to make
sure that we super serve.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, you want to take care of those communities.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's right. And so if you live.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
In special content teed up, do you that's right?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, So Santa Clarita and Valencia, we've got a lot
of burglaries going on out there.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
You go, you gotta be aware of it. You got
to be aware of a gang.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It is not good up in that show.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Nine detectives are searching for the thieves they say to
targeted nearly a dozen businesses in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Early.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Is Carolyn Johnson, it is Yeah, she's back. She was.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I think she fell ill and I think she's back.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
She looks great. Carolyn Johnson.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
She's on NBC Channel four. She's terrific. Glad she she
made it. Come back here all right, let's get into
it here businesses in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Tonight, detectives are searching for the thieves they say targeted
nearly a dozen businesses in Santa Clarita early this morning.
Most of these crimes were caught on camera. NBC four's
Tracy Leong live in Santa Clarita now where she spoke
to several of the business owners about what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Okay, so eleven businesses get robbed. You're telling me in
that little sleepy town that they can't catch these guys
that are doing this. They don't have enough. I guess
it's the Sheriff's department out there. But in the middle
of the night, people are just driving around breaking into
businesses and nobody hears anything.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
See, yeah, Carolyn, and all these burglaries happened within a
matter of minutes. It's at each one of these restaurants,
and deputies believe it's the same three men who committed
all these crimes. Business owners, they tell us they feel
violated and they hope they're caught before they strike again.
Me too, caught on camera three men breaking into the
(24:15):
restaurant Wicked Chicken in Santa Clarita around three forty Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
We could chicken. Sounds good, Yeah, but it seems like
a kind of a low grade heist target, you know
what I mean, not exactly yeah, the Thomas Crown affair.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Plus, there are there are no more businesses that leave
the cash register full at night. Right, that's over. But
we're exactly. We're on a kind of credit card thing anyway,
that's correct card, and yes they don't get it.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
That's the front glass door, ran inside, ripped out the
cash registers, and escaped in less than two minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I wonder how much they did get. I mean, there's
how much away? Next to nothing?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, but I have a theory that I'm working on
that It pisses off some people, but I think that
until I'm proven wrong, I'm going to stick with it.
I think there's a connection to the guy and the
businesses that repair those restaurants and the burglaries.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, I think it's something going on in the conspiracy
because that's where all the money is. All the money
is repairing these restaurants. You know, the windows, the doors,
the you know, the furniture, the lights, the cash register.
And the guy goes, hey for five grand, i'll fix
you up.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know. I don't know. Definitely, if a guy
shows up right away and says, hey for five grand,
I'll fix you up, then I would start to maybe
draw that connection.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Or if a guy calls you on a Saturday and goes, hey,
I can fix you up for five grand, and the
guy goes, hey, Wicked, I own Wicked Chicken.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
We didn't even get robbed.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
He goes, oh, sorry, I'll call you tomorrow, and then
he calls back the next day. He goes, hey, I
heard you got robbed.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, how'd you know? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I just saw it in the news. Well I didn't
report it to anybody. Yeah, for five grand, we could.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Fix you up. Yeah, that would definitely be some red flag.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So this poor guy who owns this Wicked Chicken, you know,
he's like me. You know, he's probably in his fifties.
He's trying to get buy selling chicken and coke and fries,
iced tea and maybe some kind of dessert. And now
he's got, you know, five grand to pay for in windows.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Class all over the restaurant pretty far back. As a
matter of.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Fact, Tony Canado cun ad O Tony Canado with Wicked Chicken.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Cash boxes and registers were torn apart, so a lot
of damage.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
All right, we'll come back and finish up here. If
you live in Santa Clarita, will give you the other
businesses that were robbed. Something's got to be done, man,
oh man. Every single day, every single night, somebody's getting robbed,
and we report on it all the time and nobody
can do anything. It's not like it's been going on
for two weeks. It's been going on for like a
year or two years.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Every night you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de
Mayo from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
We've got a lot of burglary is happening in the
Santa Clarita Valencia area. It's been going on for quite
some time. They can't stop this. These are businesses that
are that's right Tony Canado with Wicked Chicken.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Pretty far back.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
As a matter of fact, he's the guy.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, I think he owns the place.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Cash boxes and registers or.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
He's the director of commercial development. I don't know what
that means.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
So a lot of damage, what they what they took
is a fraction of what's going to cost to get
everything back in order.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I'm in on this. I think it's something going on.
Then the deputies show up a little late.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Deputies notified Tony of the break in. He rushed over
to the restaurant to see the damage. He was shocked
to find out their place was just one of eleven
targeted in the area.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Eleven places in Santa Clarita targeted for burglary eleven different businesses.
It's unbelievable, pretty frustrating.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
It saddens me to think that they feel like it's
an open market that they do that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
About twenty minutes earlier, deputies believe the same group of
men also broke into Venice Pizzaia. You see the burglars
kicking out the front glass door before running in to
steal a cash register.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
This is making the fun time that the business and
the chuck because I'm also the pastor and the chow
that is bit attacked.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Christopher Ethoch Pemmy owns Venice Pizza Rea and is also
a pastor at a nearby church.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Wow, guy's got the double duties. Runs a pizza, owns
a pizza place, and he's the head of some kind
of you know congregation. Yeah, that's going for it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Whereas business helps to supply food to people in need.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I wonder if he's ever preaching and he's like, let
me tell you what you all need because of all
your sins you've committed, the best thing for you to
repent is a pizza. And Venice Pizza has a two
PI special going on right now, pepperoni on one in
(29:02):
your choice of three toppings on the other.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
So go in peace on this the holier stay. That's right,
writibation a holy pie.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
But I wonder if he crossed, you know, references the
businesses and try to help yourself out.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You know, flyers for everybody during communion.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Get a blessing and a flyer.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Enjoy yourself. Come on, or maybe once in a while
he's like, oh, I'm sorry, I was working today. I
don't mean to show up at church with a pizza
outfit on, but you know, working my tail off here.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
What can I do.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
About how this will impact the families who relygne his
restaurant and the safety of his community.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's really tough to see this kind of beIN in Nawa.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
City and less than five miles away. In about twenty
five minutes earlier detectives believe the same thieves smash their
way into De Marco's Pizza, stealing their cash registers as
well above four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Four thousand dollars up that mess four grand is poor woman.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Yeah, they broke my reister, my printer and our door.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Why would they break the printer? You know, if you're
going to steal it and sell it, that's one thing,
but why would you just break it.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I'm very tough on this, tim, I know that you
are not as tough as I am. But on law
and order, if they catch these guys, I see them
not seeing daylight for some time. Maybe maybe. Oh ah,
I'm very tough. I've not enough. You are had enough.
You are very tough.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
LA County Sheriff's Department is searching for three men behind
these targeted burglaries at eleven different restaurants spread across Santa Clarita.
The business owners hoping someone recognizes them and sending this
message to those respects.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
And I know you're tough on crime. I know you
always have been. So I'm going to give you an option,
my friend. I'm going to write down all the people
you've voted for who are also tough on crime. Yeah,
but you see, this is a couple names.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
This is what's interesting is that that votes and candidates
and leaders of cities and communities and countries. It's a coalition, right,
It's a different people who believe different things. And you know, even.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
One name, all right, you mean one guy's name. Well,
of who I voted for, Who you voted for, who
was also who reflects your tough on crime stands well?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I think, for example, I I voted for the new
district attorney here, okay, in in Los Angeles, and I
think that's what we need. I voted for that. The
recall of chesaboo den. I mean, I mean these are
you know. I'm a tree hugger, so you because I
care about the environment. I care about clean air, soil, water,
(31:42):
I care about those things, and somehow you tagged me
as a lip. But I'm very tough man. I want
these cities clean. You'd have no homeless people on the
streets if I was there. Wow you No, I'm not.
But just because I'm a tree hugger, you think i'm
some lib. And there's nothing wrong with me in a lib.
By the way, there are a lot of liberal values
that are really respectable. And I'm just saying I'm tough
on law and order. Right, alright, I got enough?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, Calm down, calm down, all right, that's good.
I'm glad you voted for hawkman, and I'd like to
see proof of that, but I'm glad you at least
you said, all right, it's kind of my tops. We're
live on KFI Conway Show on demand on the iHeart
Radio app. Now, you can always hear us live on
KFI Am six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday,
(32:25):
and anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Thompson's here. Oh my god, thank you. Everybody, Please be seated.
I am overwhelmed and I.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Got you were coming in, buddy, but I'm always always
nice to see you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, it's really good, very great, very I enjoy seeing
you and all of the KFI kids and the KFI
listeners are I kind of can consider myself connected to
them all. I really care well you are connected. Yeah,
you know, I really feel the program like part of
the community of kafires. You get an invite to the
Christmas party, don't you? I'm sure do there you go?
(00:37):
Then you made it. I didn't know that was the
barrier by which we judge these things.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It is with some people tell you then I without
naming names, somebody who used to work here one day
a week didn't get invited to the Christmas party and
he blew up at management, and management said, do you
want me to fire you on the phone or do
you want to come in and I'll fire you?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh wow, I think blowing up in management in general,
if you're only coming in one day a week there's
a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Okay, well, you know what, I agree with you. I
agree with you, And I'll tell you two stories. One
I've always said on the air for young people listening,
and I Leen, I think you're a young person. Eileen
Gonzales in for Krozier. Krozer's out today. Oh show, it's
belly O today. So we've got two scratches too, late scratches.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm laughing because that's like a track term.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yes it is, yes, yeah, yeah, if you have your
program scratch bellio and scratch late scratch, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
One of the that's one of the track terms that
I really like, Like, I really think that's a great term.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's a good term. Scratch anyway, for young people out there,
if you're listening. I and and again, I don't like
to give a lot of tips because I don't think
i've you know, mastered anything in life. But I will
say this, the one thing that I've noticed in working
in corporate America for forty years, forty plus years, is
(02:04):
one of the top rated things that you can sell,
and everybody's got it. You just got to crank it up. Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm.
So if you're enthusiastic about the job, and somebody else
is going up for the same job that has a
similar education, maybe they even have a you know, a
longer education or more talented. Enthusiasm will put you over
that person. Enthusiasm, enthusiasm, enthusiasm in the workplace, it goes
(02:28):
a million miles, Yeah, million miles. And proof of that
is Michelle Cube, who's down the hall right, the most
enthusiastic person. She used to get up and deal with
with Bill Handle every day for twenty six years, never complained,
had a really tough work schedule, and is always upbeat
and always nice and never ever yells at anybody, and
(02:52):
is always upbeat. Oscars the same way. Enthusiasm goes a
long way, especially when all these parts are in an interchange.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I mean, we're not building aircraft carriers. We don't have
those skills that were you know, hand skills. We're not
building bridge, you know, the Golden Gate bridge. You have
to have the skill to do that. These jobs can
be replaced by anybody.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well that's that's not quite true, but it is totally well.
I But what I would say is that they have
the skills and the attitude, which is just a great combination.
I think you do need to bring skills to many jobs,
including these. I mean, what depends what you mean by these.
I mean, I know that we see ourselves as just
you know, people talking, but apparently anyway with them, they
(03:34):
have to put together all the particulars, all the content,
all of the coordination and logistics. They have to be
very smart about this stuff. They have to get up
at the crack of dawn in the case of Michelle,
for years, and to match that with a good attitude. Yeah,
that's a really really good set of skills.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Enthusiasm will take you a long, long way, long way
in life. All Right, Cheryl Crowe is in the news.
I like Cheryl Crowe.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
She is. What happened with Cheryl Crowe?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
She sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds the NPR.
I don't mind that hates Elon Musk. So she sold
her car as her car. Who cares, big controversy, Big controversy. Well,
because people think she's not authentic and that she was lying.
(04:21):
And I'll tell you why. So she said last week
she sold her Tesla because she hates Elon Musk. Okay,
you know, I don't mind that I don't. I don't
when when I look at somebody who's talented like Barbaris
Streis and I hate her politics, but one of those
beautiful voices in the world, what do I do stop
listening to? One of my favorite things to do is
(04:41):
listen to Barbaris Streis and music at Christmas. She's just
one of the greatest Christmas albums in the world. Sure, right,
so I can remove politics from it, you know, from
from how crazy people are. But this Cheryl Crowe, you know,
she said she sold her car because she hates Elon
Musk and she's given the proceeds to NPR.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
In the picture in the video where she's selling her
car and she sees it being driven off on a
on the flatbed of a tow truck, well there's there's
leaves in the tree, which means where she did it,
there are no leaves and there's snow on the ground. Now,
so when did she do it? So after she got
caught saying that, you know that she didn't recently sell
the car. She sold it three months ago, right, So
(05:22):
she lied and then she got caught and then she
said I was waiting for the certificate to confirm that
the money was given an NPR before I announced it.
All right, it's just it's just it's it's just lies.
But I can separate her from her talent.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It was it a lie? Or was she?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
She said she just sold the car, and turns out
she sold it three months ago, and.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
She said, I sold my car. Blah blah blah blah.
They'd be okay with that because I just sold it.
That's right, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But but but but it's if people would just be
authentic and and stop. Here's here's another one. This is
a great story, by the way. So this guy about
ten years ago was busted in la because he had
sex with a girl who was seventeen. And you can't
do that in California, you know, eighteen. Yeah, you got
(06:14):
to be eighteen years old to you know, to roll
around with a guy in his thirties or forties whatever
he was. And so he told the judge, he said, no, no,
we were in Mexico and that's back when you know,
I think Mexico the age of consent to sixteen. He said,
we were in Mexico during spring break when that happened.
So technically she is Mexican. I was in Mexico during
(06:38):
spring break and that's where it happened, So technically I'm
free to walk out. And he said I can prove
it by showing you pictures. And the judge said, okay,
come back next Friday with photos. I'll look at the photos,
and the photos show you clearly were in Mexico at
spring break. She was seventeen, you're thirty two. I'll give
(06:59):
you a complete pass. I'll rip this piece of paper
up and you can walk out the door. He said, fine.
He goes home, he gets her, he flies to Mexico
and they take photos.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He flies back and he shows the judge the photos.
He says, this is us in Port of Iarta during
spring break. And the judge says, port of Iota during
spring break, and you were the only two on the beach.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Wow, prison, prison, Wow. If the guy just thought about it,
you know, just bring some extras with you, bring some extras.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That was the problem with that deal is that he
didn't have an in cast it correct. There's nobody else around.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, spring bacon break in Mexico and there's two people
on the beach. Get out of here, especially in Port
of Iarta. I don't know if you've ever been there.
Oh yeah, there are thousands and thousands of people on
that beach. I love Port of Ire. I was there
with my mom and a couple of my brothers. And
for five dollars you could ride a zebra. And I've
(08:01):
never ridden a zebra.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
What is a zebra? It's a horse strike literally you
can find the animal. Yeah, I thought it was some
kind of power boat.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, no, no, no, but you got to get to
the zoo and no, it was an actual zebra.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Right.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So my brother has a has a five dollar bill
I think he stole from my mom and says, I'd
like to ride the zebra, right, So he gives them
the five dollars. Zebra, you know, walks around for ten
minutes or so. My brother gets off and he's got
black and white paint on his swimms. They just painted
a horse. Well, they painted a donkey black and white.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Give him some credit.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, I thought he was great. Another another great moment
on that trip. There was a guy who probably weighed
about three hundred pounds and he wanted to do what
are those called where you're on the back.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Night not?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
What is it parasailing, Yeah, where you get a rope
and they take off, and.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
So I did it all show? Is that right?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Okay, para it's really I guess the fun thing. I
haven't done it, but I guess it's unbelievable. And so
they get him ready. He hits the beach and he
never takes he's too fat, never takes off. He just
splashing mark against the ocean for about one hundred and
fifty yards before he finally gets it.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Oh, he did get it launched. He finally launched because
you have like they have weight tolerances on that stuff,
so they kind of know it's like you're too heavy
to take it, right.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
But I think he gave him another twenty and said
let's roll around.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I see he wasn't honest. That's your main point here,
that he should have been more honest. But see your
first point.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Then we saw that same guy because everybody stays at
the same hotel. We saw that same guy later at dinner,
piling food on his plate. And I said to my mom,
and I was young, I was about thirteen or fourteen.
I said, Ma, this is the same guy who was
splashing around and couldn't get airborne. Because he's three hundred
and fifty pounds in front of thousands of people, and
(09:52):
yet he's got two full plates of food, which means
that paras sailing.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Was not rock bottom for him. Not rock bottom. That's wild.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You know, that kind of humiliation is not maybe I
should push away.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Maybe I wasn't maybe as humiliated as you thought he
would be. It was.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
It was great, though, man, it was really. That is
why all right.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We got a lot to get to Today.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
We have more news about the airplane crash up in Toronto.
I don't know if you saw this news.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
About it on my show that the videos.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh yeah, the video is crazy, and especially I think
from a private pilot who was videotaping the crack exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Oh that was horrible.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
But there were at least two planes. You know a
lot of planes are flying towards Pearson right now and
they haven't scheduled, so they arrived, you know, five minutes apart,
so they can land them safely. Well, yesterday all the
runways were closed, so they had to divert people to Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Montreal,
and I think Calgary. So the plane's coming out west.
(10:51):
We're going to Calgary. So a plane leaves Lisbon and
a plane leaves London and there's no more room for
them anywhere because everybody's packed. Everybody's solid. Three hours out
of London, they had to tell the passengers we got
to go back to London. So there was a six
hour flight to nowhere. And in Lisbon it was even worse.
It was eight hours, eight hours in the air and
you land exactly where you took off. That is a brutal,
(11:14):
bad beat, especially on a vacation. Are you going to
a wedding or you're going to you know yo.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, most people on a plane have someplace.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
To be.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And there's eight hours and you land and the same
gate you go right back to the gate that you
left eight hours later.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
That's brute. Yeah, it is unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
I interrupted Gary's problem. Can you play it again? I
feel like I interrupted and I didn't mean to, and
so don't think I did it purpose.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It was kind of a serious problem.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was about the fire.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
A lot of the Gary and Shannon stuff they play
it for it kind of like, hey, it's such a
wacky fun time with garyan Shannon. But this one was

I did not. I it's funny, but my very good friend,
like he moved everything a series of different obligations he
had so we could watch it. So that's great. It
must have been quite the It was awesome, quite the contest.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
The rematches Thursday after tomorrow in Boston in Boston, and
what they say what motivated the USA team is that
the Canadians in Montreal booed our national anthem. Yeah, yeah,
and it fired up the team, right, why would they
do that?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Well, they booed the national anthem because the new president
has kind of been smack talking him.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
That's all right, But why would they try to motivate
the other team?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
No, you're right that I don't think that. What's that?
What is that called the the law of unintended consequence? Yes, yes,
that's what that is.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So we'll see what happens Thursday at five pm and
the United States plays Canada again in hockey. Now you're
rooting for the US oh buddy, I'm a big USA
guy all right, to.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
The point where I'm checking.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm anti Drew Dowdy, who's a LA king, But when
he puts on that red jersey, f that guy. I
am always been USA man, Olympics, international sports, always a
big USA fan.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You never have to check your.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I used to sit there with the Olympics and root
for guys and sports I've never even heard of.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Of course, that's what we all did. That's right, that's right,
all right. Southwest we have that in common, Tim, That's
what we have in common, is the American experience.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's right. That's right. Now we sort of split.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Apart wells a little bit, a little bit, we're still family,
that's right, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Southwest Airlines one of my favorite airlines, you know that
leave out of burbank, one of two or three that
leave out a burbank that I enjoy. And they're laying
off a bunch of people, a bunch of people. It's horrible.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Southwest Airlines has always prided itself on never going through
any layoffs in its history, so this is definitely a
shock to the system. CBS News Texas is learning from
a source that those corporate employees should have been in
a meeting this morning where they will find out if
they're in the group that is staying with the airline
or if they're in that fifteen percent that's getting laid off.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Wow, fifteen percent, that's a lot. That's a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Fifteen percent that's getting laid off. Now that fifteen percent
includes about oney seven hundred and fifty employees, and definitely
this has been a shock to the system. We're learning
in a press release from Southwest Airlines that those employees
that will be let go they will be given a
severance package and a post employment benefits package as well.
(15:42):
Though it's also important to note that this does not
impact any flight crews, ground cruis or any ticket agents.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Then who does it impacked?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Who are they getting rid of then, ground cruiser, any
ticket agents. This impacts people at the corporate senior leadership level.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
They're getting rid of corporate senior level position.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They have that many at the corporate fifteen percent of
the workforces corporate senior work.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
For It seems like a lot. It seems like a lot.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
We're also learning from Southwest Airlines said these layoffs will
not happen until April. So these employees who will be
laid off, they will stop work now, but they'll still
get paid. They'll have benefits, salaries and any bonuses.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I never got there. I know, I never got there.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I got it once when KXLS went out of business.
I got a small check to get out because I
had like three more months on my contract. But it
wasn't huge. Yeah, you know, it's just enough to sort
of get byed for.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
When Corolla left kls X, she got like millions, didn't
he Oh yeah, Corolla.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't know if Corolla did. But I know there's
some people I'm not going to name who they are,
but some people who left KLSX and they got a
big fat check.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah. I mean, it's happening more and more with those
It will pay you through wherever, whatever month. I didn't
get that. Well, I love Fox got a the union,
you know for all the years I've worked. I worked
for twenty three years.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Wait, you were Fox for twenty three years?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
No way, yeah, Fox eleven, So I got I know,
I didn't realize it either. Huge check, yeah, I mean
it was huge. It was. It was not you wouldn't
say it was huge, but it was. It was great
to get it was substantial.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Two weeks of employment for every year. I believe that's
the way we got almost the years where the pay.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I don't know if it was doing then. I didn't
know then. It wasn't two weeks of employment. No, no, no,
I did it? Was it come? It came out to
about I'm gonna say a month's worth of Okay, that's
the Vegas trip. Well it was yeah for you, it
was okay.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
If eligible, this all comes inmit's a shake up.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And I didn't got enough money. Wow, I've never felt
worse about myself. And back to Southwest.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Okay, this all comes inmits a shake up in the past.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
By the way, real quickly. Gamblers all do this when
they get Severn checked. The first thing they do is
they go to Vegas. They all, I did it. I
bet you did it. This I swear Tim is right
about it. I did. I wish I could have the
same thing. I wish I could push back on him,
but I cannot. I did the same thing. I got
fired from kalis X on a Thursday or Friday, and
(18:17):
we're in Vegas by Sunday. I had a nice you know,
nice place with a big room and really going for it.
Stayed there for a week a week and depressed out
of my mind when I found the web.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's the weird thing. You just can't, you know, get
your attitude back around exactly.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
This all comes amidst a shake up in the past
six months or so, seven months or so with Southwest Airlines.
This past year they got rid of their signature first come,
first serve, open seating. It's been their tradition since their start.
That will go into effect in twenty twenty six. They're
also adding red eye flights and they also change CEO's
in the past year amidst all the shakeup that Southwest
(18:55):
is seeing recently. Now we're also learning from the airlines
that this decision to cut back will save that two
and ten million dollars this year at three hundred million
next year.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All right, So after big layouts like that, after a
big announcement, everybody always checks the stock price because there's
always stockholders to tell people to lay people off. So
let's go south West stock price. Let's see what that
closed dad today.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It was a good market day, I think.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Thirty dollars down twenty eight cents, okay, all right, not bad.
But if you had let me see, if you bought,
you could have bought Southwest stock when they first started
in nineteen eighty five for ninety four cents to share.
Let me guess you made money, No, sixty six cents
(19:42):
a share. You could have bought it for sixty six
cents a share, and now it's at thirty thirty bucks.
If you bought at you know, if you bought, you're
up two seven hundred and thirty percent. If you if
you bought back, then so good for you. But they
had where they have their decline back when everybody went
(20:03):
the toilet, you know, during COVID they at the at
the bottom of that barrel. They were about twenty three
dollars a share, twenty three dollars a share when COVID hit,
and then it went back up to sixty seven. So
you could have made some money. And now it's at
thirty bucks a share, So maybe it's good time to
buy Southwest. I don't know, I don't know thirty dollars,
I don't know. I don't know what it is. But
(20:25):
I'll tell you something that I always kicked myself in
the ass. You know, they always say, buy stock of
something your wife or your daughter or your kids really love,
and that's a way to pick stocks. So I looked
at that at Dutch Brothers because my wife and daughter
loved Dutch Brothers, that coffee place, and I could have
It was at twenty three dollars when I looked at
(20:47):
it in October, I'm like, oh, okay, I don't know
in any stock, by the way, but I just like
to follow them. So it's at twenty three bucks a share,
and I said, oh, I should buy a Dutch Brothers
because my daughter, my wife really liked that Dutch Brothers.
It was at twenty three bucks. To close today at
eighty five dollars a share. Whoa eighty five bucks?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It took the run.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I missed the boat again, took missed the boat.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Mark Thompson is here in the house.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
As the kids say, I think they still use that term.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
They still use that term stuffs in the house.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, for sure. It is wild how that in the
house has hung on. Yeah, it is. I like that.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I like it groovy, sort of hung on to I
think I think.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Groovy kind of faded though it did. Yeah, I believe so.
I feel bad I just said it today. You know
what all is from that same era is solid. Like
when you solid going you agree with somebody gets solid slot.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I don't like the abbreviation of merchandise to merch I
think that's a lazy thing.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well it's sort of caught on tim It.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Has no look. I'm not fighting it. I just think
it's lazy. You know, you don't have I mean, you
don't have the time to say merchandise.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It's not that, it's just kind of a jargon thing.
I think.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I think your schedule is a little too tight if
you have to reduce merchandise to merch I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
This is me all right.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
We have a huge audience, and I want to talk
about us as the Conway Show. But KFI has a
huge audience in Santa Clarita and Valencia, you know, and
New Hall. We get them. Every once in a while,
we get the thing called hot zips. I'm kind of
embarrassing title hot zips, and they show us the zip
codes where most people are listening, and it always seems
(22:31):
to be Long Beach and Santa Clarita fighting for number
one and number two always, So we'd like to make
sure that we super serve.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, you want to take care of those communities.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's right. And so if you live.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
In special content teed up, do you that's right?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, So Santa Clarita and Valencia, we've got a lot
of burglaries going on out there.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
You go, you gotta be aware of it. You got
to be aware of a gang.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
It is not good up in that show.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Nine detectives are searching for the thieves they say to
targeted nearly a dozen businesses in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Early.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Is Carolyn Johnson, it is Yeah, she's back. She was.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I think she fell ill and I think she's back.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
She looks great. Carolyn Johnson.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
She's on NBC Channel four. She's terrific. Glad she she
made it. Come back here all right, let's get into
it here businesses in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Tonight, detectives are searching for the thieves they say targeted
nearly a dozen businesses in Santa Clarita early this morning.
Most of these crimes were caught on camera. NBC four's
Tracy Leong live in Santa Clarita now where she spoke
to several of the business owners about what happened.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Okay, so eleven businesses get robbed. You're telling me in
that little sleepy town that they can't catch these guys
that are doing this. They don't have enough. I guess
it's the Sheriff's department out there. But in the middle
of the night, people are just driving around breaking into
businesses and nobody hears anything.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
See, yeah, Carolyn, and all these burglaries happened within a
matter of minutes. It's at each one of these restaurants,
and deputies believe it's the same three men who committed
all these crimes. Business owners, they tell us they feel
violated and they hope they're caught before they strike again.
Me too, caught on camera three men breaking into the
(24:15):
restaurant Wicked Chicken in Santa Clarita around three forty Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
We could chicken. Sounds good, Yeah, but it seems like
a kind of a low grade heist target, you know
what I mean, not exactly yeah, the Thomas Crown affair.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Plus, there are there are no more businesses that leave
the cash register full at night. Right, that's over. But
we're exactly. We're on a kind of credit card thing anyway,
that's correct card, and yes they don't get it.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
That's the front glass door, ran inside, ripped out the
cash registers, and escaped in less than two minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I wonder how much they did get. I mean, there's
how much away? Next to nothing?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, but I have a theory that I'm working on
that It pisses off some people, but I think that
until I'm proven wrong, I'm going to stick with it.
I think there's a connection to the guy and the
businesses that repair those restaurants and the burglaries.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Yeah, I think it's something going on in the conspiracy
because that's where all the money is. All the money
is repairing these restaurants. You know, the windows, the doors,
the you know, the furniture, the lights, the cash register.
And the guy goes, hey for five grand, i'll fix
you up.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't know. I don't know. Definitely, if a guy
shows up right away and says, hey for five grand,
I'll fix you up, then I would start to maybe
draw that connection.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Or if a guy calls you on a Saturday and goes, hey,
I can fix you up for five grand, and the
guy goes, hey, Wicked, I own Wicked Chicken.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
We didn't even get robbed.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
He goes, oh, sorry, I'll call you tomorrow, and then
he calls back the next day. He goes, hey, I
heard you got robbed.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, how'd you know? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I just saw it in the news. Well I didn't
report it to anybody. Yeah, for five grand, we could.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Fix you up. Yeah, that would definitely be some red flag.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
So this poor guy who owns this Wicked Chicken, you know,
he's like me. You know, he's probably in his fifties.
He's trying to get buy selling chicken and coke and fries,
iced tea and maybe some kind of dessert. And now
he's got, you know, five grand to pay for in windows.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
Class all over the restaurant pretty far back. As a
matter of.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Fact, Tony Canado cun ad O Tony Canado with Wicked Chicken.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Cash boxes and registers were torn apart, so a lot
of damage.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
All right, we'll come back and finish up here. If
you live in Santa Clarita, will give you the other
businesses that were robbed. Something's got to be done, man,
oh man. Every single day, every single night, somebody's getting robbed,
and we report on it all the time and nobody
can do anything. It's not like it's been going on
for two weeks. It's been going on for like a
year or two years.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Every night you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de
Mayo from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
We've got a lot of burglary is happening in the
Santa Clarita Valencia area. It's been going on for quite
some time. They can't stop this. These are businesses that
are that's right Tony Canado with Wicked Chicken.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Pretty far back.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
As a matter of fact, he's the guy.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, I think he owns the place.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Cash boxes and registers or.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
He's the director of commercial development. I don't know what
that means.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
So a lot of damage, what they what they took
is a fraction of what's going to cost to get
everything back in order.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I'm in on this. I think it's something going on.
Then the deputies show up a little late.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Deputies notified Tony of the break in. He rushed over
to the restaurant to see the damage. He was shocked
to find out their place was just one of eleven
targeted in the area.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Eleven places in Santa Clarita targeted for burglary eleven different businesses.
It's unbelievable, pretty frustrating.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
It saddens me to think that they feel like it's
an open market that they do that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
About twenty minutes earlier, deputies believe the same group of
men also broke into Venice Pizzaia. You see the burglars
kicking out the front glass door before running in to
steal a cash register.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
This is making the fun time that the business and
the chuck because I'm also the pastor and the chow
that is bit attacked.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Christopher Ethoch Pemmy owns Venice Pizza Rea and is also
a pastor at a nearby church.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Wow, guy's got the double duties. Runs a pizza, owns
a pizza place, and he's the head of some kind
of you know congregation. Yeah, that's going for it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Whereas business helps to supply food to people in need.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I wonder if he's ever preaching and he's like, let
me tell you what you all need because of all
your sins you've committed, the best thing for you to
repent is a pizza. And Venice Pizza has a two
PI special going on right now, pepperoni on one in
(29:02):
your choice of three toppings on the other.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
So go in peace on this the holier stay. That's right,
writibation a holy pie.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
But I wonder if he crossed, you know, references the
businesses and try to help yourself out.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
You know, flyers for everybody during communion.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Get a blessing and a flyer.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Enjoy yourself. Come on, or maybe once in a while
he's like, oh, I'm sorry, I was working today. I
don't mean to show up at church with a pizza
outfit on, but you know, working my tail off here.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
What can I do.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
About how this will impact the families who relygne his
restaurant and the safety of his community.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
It's really tough to see this kind of beIN in Nawa.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
City and less than five miles away. In about twenty
five minutes earlier detectives believe the same thieves smash their
way into De Marco's Pizza, stealing their cash registers as
well above four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Four thousand dollars up that mess four grand is poor woman.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Yeah, they broke my reister, my printer and our door.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Why would they break the printer? You know, if you're
going to steal it and sell it, that's one thing,
but why would you just break it.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I'm very tough on this, tim, I know that you
are not as tough as I am. But on law
and order, if they catch these guys, I see them
not seeing daylight for some time. Maybe maybe. Oh ah,
I'm very tough. I've not enough. You are had enough.
You are very tough.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
LA County Sheriff's Department is searching for three men behind
these targeted burglaries at eleven different restaurants spread across Santa Clarita.
The business owners hoping someone recognizes them and sending this
message to those respects.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
And I know you're tough on crime. I know you
always have been. So I'm going to give you an option,
my friend. I'm going to write down all the people
you've voted for who are also tough on crime. Yeah,
but you see, this is a couple names.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
This is what's interesting is that that votes and candidates
and leaders of cities and communities and countries. It's a coalition, right,
It's a different people who believe different things. And you know, even.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
One name, all right, you mean one guy's name. Well,
of who I voted for, Who you voted for, who
was also who reflects your tough on crime stands well?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I think, for example, I I voted for the new
district attorney here, okay, in in Los Angeles, and I
think that's what we need. I voted for that. The
recall of chesaboo den. I mean, I mean these are
you know. I'm a tree hugger, so you because I
care about the environment. I care about clean air, soil, water,
(31:42):
I care about those things, and somehow you tagged me
as a lip. But I'm very tough man. I want
these cities clean. You'd have no homeless people on the
streets if I was there. Wow you No, I'm not.
But just because I'm a tree hugger, you think i'm
some lib. And there's nothing wrong with me in a lib.
By the way, there are a lot of liberal values
that are really respectable. And I'm just saying I'm tough
on law and order. Right, alright, I got enough?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, Calm down, calm down, all right, that's good.
I'm glad you voted for hawkman, and I'd like to
see proof of that, but I'm glad you at least
you said, all right, it's kind of my tops. We're
