Speaker 4 (00:19):
Michael Morris is with Morris?

Speaker 5 (00:21):
All right?

Speaker 4 (00:21):
I like that, dude.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
All right, Let's start with Alex Stone here, Alex Stone
from ABC News. Is it ABC News, ABC TV, ABC National,
ABC Radio?

Speaker 5 (00:32):
That is whatever you want to ever? Yeah, well ABC News,
that that works.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Let me tell you quick story before we get into
the news here.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
So John Colbelt has lost his phone again, right, he
does about once or twice a week. So he comes
in and he says, hey, have you seen my phone?
And I said no, what color is? And he said black.
I said, well, that'll narrow it down, and I and
we looked in the trash cans. We looked in both cans,
and then he has an iPad with him. He said, oh,
I'll set off the alarm and I'll see if I

(01:00):
can find it in here. So he sets off the
alarm and my phone starts going off in my pocket
and I pull it out and it's his phone, and
I'm like, how the hell did that happen? How did
his phone get in my pocket? And it turns out
he went to the bathroom and left it on a
chair out there before taking the bathroom. I thought it

(01:21):
was my phone, and I stuck it in my pocket
and left my phone out there.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
I could, but I've never that would have been weird
when you got home.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
But look, in all the thirty five years i've been,
you know, with the cell phone, I've never ever had
a guy say I can't find my cell phone.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
It's in your pocket. Never happened.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
No, well it's his phone. But it sounds like this
is a regular thing that he's losing to his phone.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Well, you know, one time he lost it and he
went to ping it and went to with the GPS
to find it, and it said it was right next
to the one thirty four freeway. So he went to
the one thirty four freeway right outside our building, jumped
over the fences looking on the shoulder of the freeway
for your phone. Because when you missing your phone, everything
goes through your mind. It's stolen, somebody threw it on
the freeway. Somebody hates me, you know it's in the toilet.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Did he find it?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
He found it some freeway how to get off the frame.
He didn't find it there. He found it up at
the Lost and Found somebody found it in the bathroom here,
which is five feet from where we were, and then
didn't take it in and ask anybody, hey, is this
your phone?

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Took it up to Lost and Found and locked it.
It got locked in a cabin.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
A couple of years ago, we went to New York
and we were in the cab going back to Newark
Airport and my wife says, oh, no, I forgot my
phone at the hotel, and very quickly we watched it
going to New Jersey on its own, and of course
I filed a complaint, being like, well, one of your
employees stole this. And it goes back and forth, and
then the merryout manager says, no, that's where we have

(02:46):
all of our laundry does and they don't do it
in the house. So we watched it wrapped up with
the laundry and then went through the laundry machine. We
never got it back, but here I am going one
of your employees stole this thing. It is in New
Jersey right now, it's not any longer. And they're like,
whoa cool your heels, dude, as you're accusing us of
all this, that's our laundry.

Speaker 7 (03:05):
Go.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
But it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Once we lose our phones, we accuse everybody we know
and everybody around.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Us for stealing it.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yes, included.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
And you can't like if you just to check your pocket,
you don't see it there? Oh where is it? Oh
it's in your hand, you're using it?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh yeah, man, where we attached to this thing? We
cannot separate ourselves from these phones.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
And a couple hours without it. Yeah, that you're thinking,
how am I going to go a day without going
and going to the AT and T store and buying
a new one? Like how am I going to do this?

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Right?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
And then how do you transfer everything? And then if
you find it? It's these things have taken over our lives.
They have all it's me have taken over our lives,
our airports and now these new IDs are taken over.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Yeah. So it's been delayed over and over again. You
went to the airport like ten years ago and they
were telling you get a real ID because it's about
to happen, and people didn't do it, and because it
wasn't happening and they kept delaying it, people weren't ready
for it. But the White House and the TSA say, really,
this is this is got now, that they're going to
do it that beginning of next week. If you're going

(04:04):
to the airport, if you go to lax or Burbank
or John Wayne, that you go up to that checkpoint,
and to get into federal buildings as well. It's got
to be a real id where you go to the DMV,
you give them all the documents they want, the birth certificates,
the marriage license, the if you've changed your name, the
Social Security card, all that stuff to prove you are
who you say you are, and that they say this

(04:26):
is about post nine to eleven. It's only taken us
twenty five years to actually implement this. That they got
to make it safer. Adam stat we talked to him today,
Deputy Administrator TSA.

Speaker 7 (04:36):
He says, Disdministration, the Secretary, we're really focused and we
believe the identity and document integrity is really key to
ensuring the safety and the security of our skies.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
So what this is, it's a federal standard now, well
that they wanted back after nine eleven, but everybody kept saying,
we can't do this. You give us more time for
what states have to ask for to issue a driver's license,
because until now, there are some states that you could
go into. You know, let's just say I don't know
Alabama or Louisiana. Where you go in and go hello,
I'm John Smith and I'd like a driver's license, and

(05:07):
this is my address, and they say, okay, here you go,
and they hand you the driver's license with whatever address
you told them, and you can walk out, or a
goot mail to you. But theoretically a terrorist could have
done that and then run themselves under a different name
and not be on a terror watch list and on
no fly list and do nine to eleven all over again.
So now you got to go in and give them
all those documents and you should be good. But it

(05:29):
is post nine to eleven. If you don't have a
real ID come next Wednesday, you can use a military
ID or a passport. But if you show up at
the airport and you don't have it, he says, it's
going to get interesting.

Speaker 7 (05:41):
There is a possibility if you arrive to the airport
without a sufficient or compliant real ID or an alternative
like a passport, that you may be experiencing additional waytimes
and extremely rare circumstances you maybe did I travel.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Can you imagine how many people though next winds are
going to be like, what do you mean? I have
a driver's license. You can't tell me I can't come through.
But they're they're saying you may or may not get
through come next Wednesday, and eventually you won't be able
to get through. But you know you've got a real
ID if you've got in California and I d being
up in the upper right hand corner, there is a
bear with a star on its butt. And then if

(06:18):
it's got the star, if you only have a bear,
you don't have a real idea. If it's got the
star on its rear end, then you have a real life.
All right.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
So the so the the yellow star?

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Yeah, is that what color it is? Okay, Yeah, it's cool.
It's kind of like a hollow star.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Okay, it's not brown on the bear. Okay, but the brown,
I mean the bear is there.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah, the bear is a kind of golden color.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Okay, So if this is gonna happen, and this is
gonna piss off airlines. A family of four that's gonna
be flying first class on American Airlines from LA to
Paris is going to show up. Mom or Dad is
not gonna have that star on the bear's tooks and
there and the twelve thousand dollars per person flight is

(07:01):
that on them? They do they get refunded or they
just lose that money.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, and they're gonna be claiming all kinds of things,
and you you owe me to have money back. The
TSA is not saying they won't let you through. Some
people are saying, well, if I don't have one, can
I show up with a gas bill? Can you imagine
the TSA officers looking at gas bills and birth certificates
while they're trying to do everything else. You may be
able to talk your way through, but eventually you're not
going to be able to They're telling you go and

(07:27):
do it if you haven't done it already, and and
get it done. It is kind of a pain, but
you got to do it. We have a I have
a coworker here. She was telling me today and a
lot of women have complained about this that if they
have a name change from getting married and in their
current name that they've had all kinds of hoops that
they've been going through. She's got a copy of her
marriage certificate but not the original, and they've told her no.

(07:49):
She's trying to figure out how to get an original
version of it. So that's been a mess as well.
It's not gonna be quick if you do it. You're
not gonna go in tomorrow and then have a real
idea by Wednesday. It's going to take a while, and
you gotta go through hoops, but eventually.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
You'll get I'm tell I'll tell you a quick story here.
I was Bank of America and Encino with my dad.
I was young, I was maybe twelve years old, and
my dad goes up to the teller and the teller
says this female teller goes, oh.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
You're on the carober Nuts show.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
And he says yeah, And she had a fifteen minute
conversation with him about the sketches and who wrote this?
What is Harvey like? Is Lyle Wagner good friends with Carol?
Where do they shoot the show? What time? How many
weeks in advance were they fifteen minutes? And they says
I like to cash his check for one hundred dollars
and she says, do you have any I D? And
he just looked at me. I think she I think

(08:39):
she's just she id'd me for fifteen Did.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
She stick to her guns?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Did she say?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
They both laughed about it, but it was I think
it was Norm MacDonald that said I D is the
most disproportionate abbreviation for a word. I is short for
I and D is short for identification. That's a great guy, man.
I did now, so you have yours. Your whole family's
all said, right.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, I'm good. I did mine. I don't know, probably
twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, because he kept threatening that this
was coming, and I thought, I'll just get it done.
So if you've already done it, you may have done
it a decade ago and then you're good to go.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Mine expires this October, though, Oh boy, yeah, so I
gotta do it all over again.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Buddy. Appreciate you coming on.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
You got it.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Alex Stone ABC News. That guy is great.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Man.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Love having that dude. He's say part of the program.
He's on more than Mark Thompson or Mousette. Mark Thompson
h Alex Michaelson. Yeah, the regulars, the irregulars.

Speaker 8 (09:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Time to get into crime in Los Angeles, dangerous city,
criminals everywhere. You could be next today on Southland. What

(10:23):
a great theme song, what a great show. If you
ask police officers, many times they will point to that
show as the truest depiction of what it's like to
be on LAPD.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
It's called Southland.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
You can rent it on a couple of streamers or Amazon.
It's out there. It's out there, and it's great. It's great,
one of the best shows ever made. Southland, Southland. All right,
let's start with Hollywood. A neighborhood taken over by squatters,
crime everywhere right in the heart of Hollywood.

Speaker 9 (10:56):
And nightmare is the only way residents on this stretch
of Wilton Place in Hollywood can describe what happened to
their neighborhood.

Speaker 10 (11:04):
It's a lot of noise, a lot of drug activity,
a lot of criminal activity, and it's very dangerous.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
All right, Well, what is she? A real estate agent
for the area.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
Jeene Rice and her neighbors live in this building in
between two vacant buildings and this residential hotel and say
there is a constant stream of transience who have overtaken
the neighborhood. They walk around on clothes and even when
police come out, nothing changes.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Wow, that's where we live. Huh, naked people walking around.
The cops come out and they're like, I can't really
do much. Sorry, can't do anything.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
This woman telling us she sees it all from her
second floor unit, where you can see the remains of
several fires started allegedly by the transience.

Speaker 11 (11:50):
Not only drugs, guns, there were snuff films. All these
windows before they were boarded up, had all kinds of
porn and snuffed posters on it.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
It was insane.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
She must be in her late teens to throw that
term around, snuff snuff films. Yeah, she's because a lot
of people think it's like eighty to ninety year olds.
You know, people who are one hundred and thirty use
that term. But I think it's the younger generation. I
think they've picked that up. So she's probably nineteen twenty
ish using that term.

Speaker 11 (12:22):
Snuff films had all kinds of porn and snuff film.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Snuff films, yeah, snuff, but they were going, yeah, it's
not just your regular snuff, it's all kinds of s.

Speaker 12 (12:33):
Must have just stood there and tried to figure out
what all of that.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Was, And how does she know what those snuff films are?
They're like, what exactly did you see? Are they projecting
it on the walls?

Speaker 13 (12:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Right, I don't know, but.

Speaker 11 (12:45):
They were going back and forth. So they would hang
out on the front porch at one seventy three too,
along with the prostitutes and their johns.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
M all right, it's an interesting neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
It's a very knowledgeable lady.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, she sees it allcond story windows all day.

Speaker 11 (13:01):
Sometimes they would be awake for days.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
They say.

Speaker 9 (13:04):
The owner of the building next door is receiving government
subsidies to house the homeless, but isn't doing enough to
maintain safety standards. As further two vacant buildings. KTLA received
this statement from Councilman Hugo Soda Martinez his office, saying,
in part, this property has become a serious concern for neighbors,
and we're taking urgent action through multiple routes to address

(13:26):
this public safety matter as quickly as possible.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Mumbo jumbo.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Obviously they're not doing anything because this lady is still
seeing snoff films.

Speaker 9 (13:36):
First, our office is coordinating with the Department of Building
in Safety to begin the formal process of declaring this
property as a public nuisance.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
The case is.

Speaker 9 (13:45):
Expected to go before the Board of Building and Safety.

Speaker 14 (13:48):
Commissioners in May.

Speaker 9 (13:49):
If approved, the city can then place Selene and take
the immediate steps to secure this site ourselves.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
You know, earlier on when she said there's all kinds
of pornography, you know, DVDs and snuff films. Isn't that
the same thing. Isn't the snuff film a porno? I
think it is?

Speaker 12 (14:06):
Well, I guess, or is that a certain that's a
looser definition of pornography.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I suppose, Yeah, maybe right, snuff films all right.

Speaker 10 (14:13):
They were talking about implementing security on the grounds, which
I think is absolutely essential and it needs to be
done like now, not later. And they keep talking about
doing this or that.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yeah, we'll find your mom. Yeah they're not coming. They're
not going to help you.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
They are billions of dollars in debt in the county,
billions of dollars of debt in the city, and they
don't have the money to come out and regulate these
snuff films in your neighborhood.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
You're on your own. That's what LA means.

Speaker 12 (14:43):
I want to know, if we're having such a housing problem,
why are there so many empty abandoned houses for these.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Rightople to go to? Who owns these houses? I mean
that sounds like the opening of a Seinfeld. You know who.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Owns the house?

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Who is.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Why those so many open plazas.

Speaker 10 (15:05):
But the thing is, we can't wait anymore. This is
like an urgent matter. Our lives are at risk.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Okay, well, obviously she's new to LA because they're not
coming to help you. That's a that's a wrap. Yeah,
that's you're on your own.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
They're darling.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Sorry. I feel bad, I really do, but there's no
help coming. You got to take care of stuff on yourself.
I don't know how you do it, but you'll figure
it out, all right. Security camera is installed in Alta Dina.
Lots of crime going on in the Burnscarlett.

Speaker 13 (15:37):
County Sheriff deputies in the Altadena burn Zone extra patrols
to deal with a more than four hundred percent increase
in residential burglaries targeting the area.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Three taxes the fires, so it's an issue.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
You heard right three times.

Speaker 13 (15:53):
This home off Athens burglarized since the fires.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
You know, you would think that somebody walking up on
a burned out house will be like, wow, man, this
guy's really paid a heavy price to live out here.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
It is how home burned down, the neighbors homes burned down.
He's probably in a hotel. I'm going to cut a
brake and not rob his house, yeah, or maybe I will.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
What the hell? And then they do it.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
They do it, They have that internal conversation and then
they vote screw it. Let's just do it anyway. You know,
this guy's under a lot of stress, a lot of pain.
What's a little more? What's a little more?

Speaker 13 (16:26):
The owner of this other home sending us photos of
her place ram sacked. She doesn't want her face on camera.
Neither do her neighbors, who say even the destroyed properties
are not immune. The burglars looking for copper wire, dressed
like legitimate construction workers.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Oh is that right? Wow?

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Man, they dress up like construction workers, come in and
still rip you off. The smart crooks will be using
the vests and the hardheads.

Speaker 15 (16:51):
They'll show up and ask you that you need help,
But obviously they're not here to work.

Speaker 13 (16:55):
What would you tell the people who are coming in
here to steal your copper wire?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
The little there's getting no stumi in Denner's stummy.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
It's just what is that, Stephos.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Genno Stumian, Denno Stummian's.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Good, right, what is that, Stephos? What does that mean?
What's that?

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Geno Stumian Denner's stummy?

Speaker 4 (17:13):
It's not good, not good, not good? Well, what say
it anyway? It's not good? You could do it. It's
not good.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Why don't you want to say it?

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Well, then forget it, forget it, forget it, then forget it, forget.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
It, for getting a Stumpian Denner's stummy?

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Is he saying something naughty? Is he swearing? Not there?
He's just doing saying that there's there's nothing good, It's
not good.

Speaker 13 (17:38):
It's just so wrong, says this resident who's living in
a narv next to his burned out properties, just to
keep an eye on the little dat's left. I just
saw a man who's living in a narvy in front
of his burned down property because he says they're coming
in to steal the copper wire.

Speaker 16 (17:53):
Well, there is, yes, there are people that are trying
to take advantage of the situation.

Speaker 13 (17:57):
Whether your home is standing or not. Altadina Sheriff saying,
you can ask for the extra patrols they have them.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
You can email us, we push on a list, you
opt into our program, and we send deputies out to
check your house periodically.

Speaker 4 (18:10):

all you have to do. You can email us, you
email them, we push on a list, pitch on a list.

that it works, but it does it does work, and

(19:59):
more of avictims. We're victims in southern California.

Speaker 17 (20:02):
It is absolutely devastating for this one family. I mean,
this is a distraction scam that is targeting unsuspecting shoppers,
and by the time they realized that something is wrong,
their bank accounts have been drained.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Ginwi'st Dummian Dennis Tummy.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Oh, that guy's back man, that guy's at every story.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Just has to stop.

Speaker 15 (20:20):
How many other people is this happening to you?

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Ginwist Dummian Dennis Thummy.

Speaker 17 (20:24):
Irvin Nelson of Roseda is one of several victims of
the twenty dollars distraction scam that continues to play out
at grocery stores.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Yeah, grocery stores, be aware of this.

Speaker 15 (20:35):
This is your twenty dollars.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
I found it.

Speaker 15 (20:37):
I'm giving it back to you. Just said this should
be good for you. It's good for both of us.
I'm giving you back your money.

Speaker 17 (20:44):
It turned out to be anything but good. Within minutes
of that encounter with two strangers outside this Albertson's and Reseda,
thousands of dollars were drained from Irvin and his wife's
bank accounts.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Ginwi's Dummian Dennis tummy.

Speaker 15 (20:58):
All together they got five.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
By the way, this's got nailed at.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Gin As Stummion Ginnis tummy.

Speaker 15 (21:03):
All together they got five nine hundred and eighty dollars.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Oh my god, that's horrible.

Speaker 15 (21:10):
Eighty bucks all together they got five nine hundred and
eighty dollars.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Oh no, a Stummion box.

Speaker 17 (21:15):
Eleven News first told you about this twenty dollars scam
two weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
My heart sank because my heart wasn't there.

Speaker 17 (21:22):
It was the same scenario. Two strangers, a man and
a woman, approached Sarah at a Ralph's grocery store, just
a few miles from where Irvin was scammed.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Ginet Stummion Ginnis tummy.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Guy. That guy's right, man, that guy's right.

Speaker 17 (21:35):
Here's how the scheme works, all right.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Here's how it works. Listen to this so you don't
get scammed. I'm gonna help you out here. Okay, this
is how they do it, and this is how you
have to be aware of these creeps.

Speaker 17 (21:46):
Here's how the scheme works. While a shopper pays with
a debit card, the thieves stand close enough to watch
them enter their pin.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Okay, you gotta cover. I always cover. You could cover
with one hand and then put the pin in with
a the other hand. You should be able to do that.

Speaker 17 (22:02):
Then they follow the victim outside and pull the you
dropped a twenty dollars bill routine, a distraction that lets
them get close enough to steal their ATM card.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Dinner's dummy in dinnisum.

Speaker 15 (22:14):
I had no idea she took it. I had no
clue until I got to the kaiser saw my ATM.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Card was gone.

Speaker 17 (22:19):
In both cases, the thieves withdrew thousands of dollars from
ATMs and through bank tellers at Chase. Irvin and Jennifer
say they don't understand how the bank allowed such large
withdrawals without checking identification.

Speaker 15 (22:33):
Do you go on Chase's website and on our protocols
it says for five thousand dollars, they should be asking
for an ID. Why was that not done?

Speaker 17 (22:41):
To make matters worse, both Irvin and Jennifer say Chase
is refusing to refund the losses, claiming the withdrawals may
have been authorized by sharing their pins with the thieves.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
No, that's that's odd, but you know, at least I
know with my bank account. If there's any withdrawal over
five hundred dollars, they decline it and they call me
or text me, and you can you can turn that
on in at least I'm with Bank America. You can
turn that on in with your ATM card or I'm sorry,
with your online banking account and so. And you can

(23:14):
also shut that card off with eight with a Bank America.
And so I only turned it on when I'm about
to use it, and I turn it right back off.
So little steps like that, baby steps. I know we
shouldn't have to do that, but we do live in
Los Angeles where everybody wants everybody else's money. And that's
that's going to go on for quite some time because

(23:34):
the LA County is to a couple of billion dollars
shy of where they want to be, and so is
LA City, and so the cops are thin. You know,
we'd love to have another eighteen hundred cops on LAPD.
They're not coming, They're not coming, So we got to
protect ourselves. You got to protect that ATM card.

Speaker 13 (23:54):
You know.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
As a matter of fact, while I was listening to
that story, I checked to see if I have my
ATM card. I bet a lot of people.

Speaker 13 (23:58):
Did then?

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Do you have yours?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Cross? You carry your eteam with you?

Speaker 5 (24:03):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (24:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Did you check it to Steve? If it's there?

Speaker 12 (24:06):
Right now?

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Stephen? Okay, you got yours? Earn?

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Do you have one?

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Stuff?

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Who's you got an ATM card? Sure?

Speaker 12 (24:12):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Is it in your wallet?

Speaker 4 (24:13):
I got it here? Check it to se if it's there?

Speaker 5 (24:15):
All right?

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Let me double check, just gonna make sure, ye, there
it is? All right?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well we beat them today, didn't we? All right, Well
let's try to beat him again tomorrow. Belly o, do
you have yours?

Speaker 4 (24:27):
I know you use it a lot.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
You go to that.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
By all that gas station sushi with the charge your plate?

Speaker 14 (24:35):
Should I not be using my debit card there? I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I don't know how much sushi are you eating at
a gas station where you're paying for it with your
ATM card?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Do you loading up?

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
You know?

Speaker 14 (24:50):
I go like three times a week.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
So what's your favorite gas station to buy sushi? Do
you have a favorite Sinclair? Sinclair is good?

Speaker 14 (24:57):
Their spicy tune is really good?

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Is that right?

Speaker 13 (24:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:00):
That they're known for them?

Speaker 14 (25:02):
I don't know they're known for gas oh icy?

Speaker 18 (25:04):
Right?

Speaker 15 (25:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Stupid memes, right.

Speaker 8 (25:07):
But.

Speaker 14 (25:09):
They're really sushi.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Do you get a like a rolling of the eyes
when you buy sushi from the.

Speaker 14 (25:19):
It's not a rolling of eyes. Occasionally one of the
clerks does this.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Is that that like I'm gonna recommend sen she senshi
sushi at route Oh, that's what Kate's always talks about.

Speaker 14 (25:34):
Oh I hear, that's that's like good stuff.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yeah, near the deli section.

Speaker 15 (25:39):
Yeah, I think it's absolutely ridiculous. I kept asking them
if they've ever looked at the video foot is because
you know in that bank every inch is covered by
a camera.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
He'll just show me your sushi.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
She has sushi today she bought at a gas station
and it says on a high octane?

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Is that spicy?

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Is that that means?

Speaker 14 (25:58):
That's like they're really spicy, the.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
High octane sushi. What happened to us? What happened to
us is a society. We're buying sushi in a gas
station and it's labeled high octane?

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Got am mighty.

Speaker 17 (26:13):
We contacted Chase Bank and we were told they are
reviewing their customers cases. They advise customers.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Should sounds like they're on the case as well.

Speaker 17 (26:22):
We contacted Chase Bank, and we were told they are
reviewing their customers cases.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
I good, all right.

Speaker 17 (26:28):
They advise customers should protect personal account information. That's right
atm pins, passwords and one time past coast.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Oh my god, there's so much to worry about.

Speaker 15 (26:39):
I don't know what they needed to investigate. How about
you review the footage. Let's say it wasn't me that
withdrew this money.

Speaker 17 (26:45):
Police reports have been filed, but so far, very little progress.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
And that's a valley angry guy. I'm turning into that
guy too. You know that valley anger where you just
bitter as hell. You know, you're a singer and apart
been on Sadakoy and like I don't know Sherman Way
or Sherman Way and Kester. You're stuck in this one
better apartment, you and your wife, and then somebody bangs

(27:12):
on you for nearly six grand and you just can't
take it anymore. This guy's about to blow, by the way,
I guarantee you that this guy's ten days away from blowing.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
I'll listened to it in his voice.

Speaker 15 (27:23):
I don't know what they needed to investigate. How about
you review the footage. Let's see it wasn't me that
withdrew this money.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, that guy's about the flip.

Speaker 17 (27:31):
Police reports have been filed, but so far, very little progress.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
This guy's going to be in the news soon. Not
because he's been ripped off, but he's I think he's
just gonna, you know, take a golf club to somebody.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
He's had it. He's got the valley anger. I see
it all the time in the valley.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Valley anger should be listed as a new setback, a
new disease.

Speaker 12 (27:55):
I find that usually the valley anger comes from people
not liking the fact that they're in the valley being recognized.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, there's that, but also the valley's become pretty filthy
and it's just filled with idiots, and so you know, that's.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
How you look.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
The guy got banged on in the Rouse. You know,
he's in Rause buying a you know, soushi or whatever
it was for his him and his wife and that
Kester apartment and a guy bangs on him for six grand.
They're out there, man, and six thousand dollars to a
guy on Sherman Way and Kester is a life savings
and it's gone.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
It's gone.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
It is unbelievable what we have to deal with here
in Los Angeles, and we got only two words for.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
It, kenhistamien. That's right, kenwis damien not good.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
You're listening to Tim Conwaytunior on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Did you listen to Colebalt earlier? That there's a bill
that they want to pass to make it a felony
to sell sixteen year olds for sex, and that's being
poopooed on by some people in Sacramento.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
They don't want that law.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
So if I went to steal a thousand dollars TV
set from best Buy, actually best Buy is pretty buttoned up.
It's hard to rip off, hard to lift from that store.
Let's say Walmart. If I stole a thousand dollars TV
set from Walmart, that would be a felony. But if
I sold a sixteen year old to another guy in

(29:24):
the parking lot to have sex with her or him,
that would be a misdemeanor.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
That's where we live. That's where we live. That's us
right now. That's us.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
So all right, some easier news, easier on the ears.
Starbucks has just opened its first store that's been three
D printed with concrete. They printed the store.

Speaker 19 (29:51):
Starbucks is about to open it first ever three D
printed store. Wow, way, it's printed. It was made by
using that new technology.

Speaker 15 (29:58):
Right.

Speaker 19 (29:59):
It's opening Brownsville, Texas. It's not a printing store, by
the way, it's still a coffee store, but it was printed.
The actual physical store was printed. The fourteen hundred square
foot location was made using printed layers of concrete.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
In that guys back again. Wow, that guy's popular.

Speaker 19 (30:15):
There's no din in service at this location. It's only
a drive through or mobile order pickup. Starbucks will not
say whether more three D printed stores are on the horizon.
You can kind of tell because it has those ridges
from one of each every time the machine goes around.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Okay, you know what, these three D printed stores haven't
experienced yet a seven point five. They've not been hit
by a seven point eight seven point five yet, and
so when that happens, we'll see how the three D
printed goes.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
You know, maybe it survives, Maybe it's great.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Maybe it's like a sponge and it sort of reacts
and does well in a six point nine or seven
point eight. But I wouldn't I wouldn't test it. If
you work in a three D printed store and the
big one hits, I'll high tail it, buzz out all
right in Burbank. Burbank's in the news. There's a bear

(31:09):
in Burbank. Very rare to have a bear in Burbank,
extremely I remember what ever happening.

Speaker 16 (31:15):
The last time they saw this bear in this neighborhood
was about two nights ago, definitely causing some trouble for
folks near Elmwood Avenue and Sunset Canyon Drive.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
A very bear haters everywhere. If you're a bear hater,
this is not a good time to be in Burbank.

Speaker 16 (31:30):
Upscale neighborhood here in burd Bank Now, they say this
neighborhood is no stranger to bear sidings, but they usually
happen later in the year, closer to summer. Of this
bear that has been roaming the neighborhood since Easter, they
say the bear has been seen many times, often late
at night, looking through garbage bins, walking around front yards,
approaching front doors and parked vehicles, leaving many residents uneasy,

(31:54):
concerned that the bear will eventually break into a vehicle
or home.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
You know what, They say that this bear comes up
to you and says, hey, you lost to twenty and
tries to stick to twenty in your wallet and then
high tails your bank card.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
So this guy's in on it too. Everybody's trying to
rip you off. So you gotta work.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
You gotta worry about people stealing your identity, stealing your
ATM card, draining your bank account, and then when you
go home, you got to worry that this bear is
going to eat you alive.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
That's where we.

Speaker 16 (32:25):
Live, or even worse, hurts someone. If contacted Burbank Animal Control,
they're aware, but the bear is still coming around.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, they're aware of the bear, but he's still buzzing
around the situation this couple of weeks, that's getting worse.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
We're getting a bear. That's the first time that we
ever heard that there's a bear on Elmwood. This is crazy.
It's a wild animal. Imagine if someone is walking the dog,
or if someone is just walking and that bear attacks you.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
It's a little bit, you know, it's very scary.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah, very very scary. What is our our our crime
guy have to say about it?

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Dennis Dummian Dennis Dummian, eh.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
I figured that, all right, officers, this is a horrible story.
A guy was killed inside an apartment inside an.

Speaker 18 (33:20):
Apartment apartment building and killing a tenant.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Once he's sixteen nine elevensy drives his two males fighting
and wrestling.

Speaker 18 (33:30):
That's police dispatch audio from the morning of the suspected
murderer inside Ashton Sherman Village apartment on April twenty third.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
I think that's in North Hollywood, isn't it.

Speaker 18 (33:38):
On April twenty third, a resident reported hearing a loud
commotion from a fifth floor unit where police say fifty
three year old minash heedro was killed. Hedrew's body was
found three days later during a welfare check. Police released
surveillance video showing a possible suspect trying the doors to
several units in the building before the deadly discovery.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Neighbors say they are nervous, you know where.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
They think he got into the apartment through the skylight.
So now you got to worry about that. You live
on the top floor of an apartment building. You got
to worry about some a hole breaking the skylight and
coming in like you know, Batman.

Speaker 14 (34:14):
I think he went through an empty apartment and went
over the balcony like you said.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, yeah, that's where we are. The homeless guys like
to live on top of that building. You know, they
like the penthouse. They're the upper class homeless chaps, so
they like to be on the on the roof. You know,
they can stretch out, they can get nude, they can
watch there's snuff movies up there, and then you just
sort of have to deal with that. You can hear
them up on the up on the roof, and around

(34:41):
Christmas you can sell it to the younger kids is
Santa's Reindeer. But in June it's tough to explain to
the kids why there's people on the roof. And then
they'll come through the skylight and kill you, kill you.

Speaker 20 (34:56):
When the police came, I guess it was quiet so
they didn't go inside, and so the guy must have
been dead for a couple days. When the police released
the photos, it's very clear that is a transient and
that's when it got really scary.

Speaker 18 (35:14):
Residents believe the suspect entered a vacant unit next to
the victim's apartment and climbed over the balcony to get in.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
No arrests have been made. Well, well, it's getting scary
out there.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Gang.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I don't know what The answer is, I think a
lot of people are just staying home. I noticed that
whenever I go out now, like fast food at night,
I'm always the only guy in line. Nobody goes out anymore.
Everyone is scared to death, which opens up the drive
through lines for me. But I'd rather have a full
line and a safe city. That's just not happening anytime soon.

(35:48):
We've got to get back together. We got to get
this together before the Olympics get here. We're live on
kf I AM six forty Conway Show on demand on
