Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It is The Conway Show.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
All right, very good.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
It feels like we're getting into summer. All the rain
is gone, you know, it's warm outside. It feels like
people are, you know, getting close to the end of
school year. You see graduation starting to happen. You see
graduation gifts in stores. Mother's Days over, Father's Days coming up.
We have Memorial Day this weekend. So it does feel
like we're turning a corner from a really horrible winter
(00:37):
that we are a lot of people suffered here in
Southern California. The fires, the floods, the economies and the
toilet the crime. We really had a really tough winter.
And so that's it. But what we're going to continue
to do even during the summer is the NewsWhip dig
dong with this Yet.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
This is the five h five News Worth five.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We stopped the show every day at five o'clock to
figure out what the hell's going on out there that
we're sort of unaware of, at least I'm unaware. We
start with Bellyole, what's happening at What's happening in the world.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Well, California home prices hit a new record high, according
to the latest data from the California Association of Realtors.
In April, the median price for a single family home
statewide rows to nine hundred and ten thousand dollars. That's
nearly three percent higher than in March and just slightly
above where it stood in April or twenty twenty four.
Experts say the modest year over year increases due in
(01:46):
part to high interest rates, which are keeping some buyers
on the sidelines. Also noted was a slowdown in the
luxury market driven by economic uncertainty. The Bay Area remains
the priceest with a median home price of one point
four million, followed by Central Coast at one point one
million and SoCal at eight hundred and eighty seven thousand.
(02:06):
The most affordable homes can be found far north, with
a median price of three hundred and eighty thousand.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Who's got that kind of money? Not me to spend
one point four million dollars on a starter home. Where
do they get their money? I don't know. I guess
stock market, inheritance, I don't know. Man but there's a
lot of money out there. You know, every time you
go to like a concert, it's packed and people are
spending four grand to sit up front. So there's money
out there. Krozier. What's going on in the world that
(02:34):
we don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
About, well, pretty related to what Sharon just talked about.
Spain is fighting Airbnb. Spain's consumer rights ministry has ordered
Airbnb to remove more than sixty five thousand listings in
the country. Span had been ticked off. They've been talking
about over tourism and a growing housing crisis. Spain says
Airbnb was violating their short term reunta roles. They were
doing things like using fake license numbers for the properties
(02:57):
or not saying if a property was owned by a
person or a company. Airbnb says it's appealing the decision
and a shortage of housing is not its fault. Many
European countries have been dealing with rising rents, housing shortages,
and increasing anti tourism protests as holiday rental licenses have
also increased. That's what we've been talking about this for
a while, because you know, part of it is the
(03:19):
companies and private equities, they're all buying up homes now right,
And I think I saw something that was just last year,
like thirty to forty percent of home sales are now
going to private equity and companies.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Not people, and those are all being those are all
cash deals.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Yeah, and they're just sitting on them either waiting for
them to rise or they're trying to rent them out
like Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And I also heard that the hotel companies, the big
hotel companies in Spain are behind this suit. I behind
this movement.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Oh sure if they can knock down at Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, yeah, you know, because those Airbnb commercials are pretty effective.
You know, it comes on TV. I see them a
lot on my television set where I'm looking at my
television and they say, oh, you're traveling with your family
and there's nine different hotel rooms, but at night, you
guys are all separate. Why not get one big rule,
you know, house, and all be together. I'm like, Oh,
(04:10):
that's a cool idea.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Exotic locations, unique sort of places to stay, all that stuff.
They definitely, and they've they've changed a lot of their
their working model. They they've kind of they're moving towards
the real estate aspect of things, where they're getting the properties.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But you know, thank God for the Internet, because when
I was growing up, the only pictures I ever saw
of Fiji or far away places, you know, Spain, France, Africa, Europe, Asia, wherever,
you only saw them in like a brochure, you know,
or you saw footage of it, maybe on TV on
a travel show on Sunday every once in a while.
But now with the Internet, you can literally go to
(04:46):
anywhere in the world in a second.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I was looking just last night at the Jamestown settlement
in Virginia, their first settlement while for us to come
into America, it was the first town. And how they're
they're doing a whole dig into into fi and digging
out into the ground and archaeological digs and all this
stuff in Jamestown, which I never would have seen.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Prior to that. Right, But and then when you go
to see that, you're already familiar with it because of
what you've seen on the Internet.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Absolutely, to me, it doesn't take away from actually going there,
but it helps increase what it is to know that
you're looking at.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I said to my daughter when she was younger, I said,
my goal, I would love to look, just take a
real look inside every house in the world. I like
looking at houses, and she goes, you better get started,
you know, you got to get rolling. So far you've
seen like eight Jen and I look for open houses
every weekend. Is that right?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And you go in yeah, oh absolutely, Oh that's great. Yeah.
And do they attack you the really does attack you.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
No, No, they're usually pretty good because for one thing,
anything around Claremont, it's a high value. So they know
they don't have to sell you into buying anything. Okay,
they know they'll get it. And what do you tell
them that you're looking for the house or you're looking
to move or a lot of times, yeah, we tell them.
She's like, I, we're always looking to kind of downsize,
you know, we're getting kids out of the house, and
you know we don't not maybe not in thessarily right now,
but we're definitely doing research.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I like walking around an open house and seeing the
dance that like desperate buyers are like, oh, you see
a couple over there, they're definitely gonna make an offer.
We got to make an offer today if we want
this place. And there's like a fight going on in there,
all right, Angel's happening in the world, Baby.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
So the Trust for Public Land has released as twenty
twenty five National Parks Score Index and the city, Yeah,
the City of Irvine has once again been recognized for
its outstanding park system, ranking second in the nation and
first in California.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Wait, the best parks are in Irvine.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Second best parks in the country are in Irvine, first
best in California.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
The Park Score is recognized as the national gold standard
comparison of park systems across the one hundred most populated
cities in the US, and the index found that ninety
four percent of Irvine residents live within a half mile
walk of a park. Now, the City of Irvine continues
to fortify its park system with the ongoing construction of
(07:10):
the Great Park, and that's the largest municipal park under
development in the nation.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, they're putting a billion dollars into that park, a billion.
The City of Los Angeles is a billion dollars in
debt at least. So the money is all in Orange County.
The money has been robbed, it's been taken from LA
and it all has moved to Orange County. You guys
have all the money.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
You know how many parks Irvine has no thank you
two hundred and sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And how many have you been to?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
One? One? You've never been to the Great Park? Right,
it's on my list. How many years you've been buzzing
around Irvine And I'm talking about like going down and
seeing John and you know, hanging out, like twelve twelve
years and you can see the Great Park from your window,
sure can, and you've never been there. No, God, it's
(08:00):
not finished yet. It's still pretty good. When they get
everything together all head on over take a look to
say over there. Yeah, god, step foh, you're bringing up
the rear here. What's going on?

So it's so funny because they just had some last night.
But you know corn nuts, right, I love them corn nuts.
So they launched a new partially popped like style of
what they have, really like an air popped kind of yeah,
like it's like almost there because obviously they're corn. So
(08:37):
the Hormale Food's own brand Cornuts, is expanding its product
range with the launch of a new line of partially
popped corn kernel snacks, the brand's first departure from its
signature fully crunched corn kernels. The line debuts with three flavors, white,
Cheddar Movie Theater, Butter Yes Please, and Kicking Cheddar, and
(08:58):
the latter adding a spicy lant to the range. So yeah,
I saw that on on the internet. They're selling the
popped what are they called popped corn nuts? Air popped cornuts. Yeah,
there's there's slogan is less out when passed.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So true? Maybe? Yeah, corn corn nuts. I love corn nuts,
but man, they're really tough on you. You know, they're
tough on your teeth, they're tough on your system. They
don't break down.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
You can hear someone eating them like two two doors away.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh yeah, and you can hear someone passing them two doors.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Away and you're prone to diverticulitis.

it's called like crunchy corn in small little you know,
single serves, and they are they're not as hard as
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's what this is. Yeah, they're already chewed. So what
do they do with them? They just popped them.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
They're they're they're in between like like they're just a
lot less crunchy than a corn nut. I mean they're
eyed them all the time. I got definitely got a box.

Speaker 12 (13:00):
So we look forward to everyone arriving here at the
Queen Mary to celebrate Commuter Today on board the Queen Mary.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, the Queen Mary Man, get out there before they
steal that from us and move it up to Seattle
or you know, somewhere else, like they did the spruce
goose pose up and didn't.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
You and Jen see a ghost or yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
We stayed on for they had Halloween haunt that we
used to do over at the at kalis X and
we slept on on the ship, and like at three
point thirty in the morning, Jen wakes me up and
she goes, hey, there's a kid in the corner in
a sailor's outfit. And I look over the and the
I didn't see it, but the curtain moved and she
(13:41):
was up. She was up until the sun came up.
She was put the lights on, she was reading. I
tried to sleep, she stayed awake. So we went to
check out at you know, ten o'clock or so, and
who am I kidding? Like noon, and we went up
to the desk. We said, hey, we need to check
out of room you know, eight fur five or whatever
(14:03):
it was. And I said, hey, can I ask you
something about that room? And she goes, you'ren't have to ask.
She said, did you or your wife see the kid
in the sailor's outfit doing a time out. I'm like, yes,
my wife saw it and she said, yeah, evidently a
kid died on the Queen Mary and he was in
a sailor's outfit and they see him in that room
(14:26):
all the time. Sometimes he's doing like a timeout where
he's just staring at the drapes. But it was weird
that that woman knew the history of that room, and
several people have reported that they see that little kid
in that room. I said, Oh, that's kind of a
cool deal. We won't be coming back, but it was
a cool deal. Because my wife flips out over stuff
(14:46):
like that. But I, on the other hand, thought it
was cool, you know. I mean, there was a cool
to have a ghost that boat, that ship is haunted,
and I think that's the attraction for a lot of people. Yeah,
people like that. All right, we have that motorcycle. I
don't know if anybody saw that today. I got a
lot of texts. I appreciate all the texts that I
get from the big Pursuits.
Speaker 13 (15:06):
Well, A suspect riding a possibly stolen motorcycle leads police
in the CHP on a wild chase. It began in
locking Yata, flint Ridge. The motorcycle sped on streets and freeways,
running red lights, riding on the wrong side, cutting off vehicles.
The chase extended from Glendale to Pasadena and finally in
downtown LA before the bike rode into an apartment complex
(15:27):
underground parking structure of Figaroa and Sunset authorities eventually suspending
the search with no custody of that suspect.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, that's the new move where you know, you run
away from the cops, you get into a mall or
a big apartment building, you ditch the motorcycle to the
car and you're good to go. That's It's a new move,
a fairly new move for these guys, and it happens
to work sometimes. I mean, I wouldn't, you know, rely
on it one hundred percent, but it does work sometimes.
(15:57):
Ellen Lava, we talked about that before, is retiring from
ABC seven. She gave her notice a couple months ago,
I think a month ago, and as giving up news

beautiful place to hang. But they're frustrated in Westwood. Rich people,
they get frustrated pretty quickly because they put They spend
a lot of money on taxes. If you have a
ten million dollar home, you're probably spending one hundred and
(20:49):
twenty five thousand dollars a year just in property text

of dough, you don't want your whole town to go
to crap.
Speaker 16 (21:05):
Public profanity, urination, growing piles of garbage and debris, drugs, girls,
squatters and squalor, and an endless stream of troublemakers and
intruders leaping over fences, breaking into the same home coming

Girls, squatters and squalor.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And maybe girl squatters. Is that what he's trying to say?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Girls squatters?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You'd have to say girls squatters. Let's see if I
can help him out here, edit this little all right,
here we go.
Speaker 16 (21:56):
And debris, drugs, girls, squatters, and skwalor, and an endless
stream of troublemakers and intruders leaping over fences, breaking into
the same home coming and going at all hours of
the day and night.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
These are five million dollar homes and they can't get
a break.
Speaker 16 (22:15):
This is life in an otherwise pleasant, upscale, family filled
neighborhood in Westwood, tucked above Santa Monica Boulevard, across from
the Westfield Century City Mall. We're told the homeowners are
an older brother and sister who are offensive, loud, and
at the very least unconventional.
Speaker 17 (22:36):
They've been a menace to the.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Unconventional and.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Unconventional unconventional.
Speaker 17 (22:48):
They've been a menace to the neighborhood for the whole
time that we've lived here, but in the past ten
to twelve months. They are hoards, and they've hoarded themselves
out of their own home, and they have been living
in their cars.
Speaker 16 (23:03):
And everyone else has been living or squatting in their home.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
These are three to seven million dollar homes and they've
filled it up with junk, with junk where they can't
move around in the house anymore, so they have to
sleep in their car.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Which their neighbors describe as a hell house.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Why are you back there, I homes Lisbeth.
Speaker 17 (23:24):
It has completely blown up and disrupted everything, and there's
drug paphernalia all over the neighborhood. It's across the street
from a school, a family dental building, and you.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Can't do anything about it. Can't do a thing about it.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
And I even called Adult Protective Services to try to
get them to help them.
Speaker 17 (23:43):
Sometimes in the winter months, their cars running through the
night to provide them heat.
Speaker 16 (23:48):
Neighbors are banding together appealing to anyone who will listen,
including police, city leaders, building and fire hazard inspectors, even
the courts.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
But these home owns.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
Are becoming more hopeless with the typical our hands are
tied responses.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You know, in the old days, somebody would go there
and just kick the crap out of them and straighten
them out. And you can't do that nowadays. You just
had to sort of deal with nuts in your neighborhood.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
Well, we always knew to them as the creepy neighbors
when we were kids. Well, it was only the past
few years when things started getting really serious.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
They always say in LA. We've talked about this before,
if you love your neighbors, never move in LA because man,
oh man, there's some crazies out there, crazy crazy, crazy people.
All right, la USD police, they're calling on the board
to bring la USD Police force back. I said that
(24:46):
when they disband la USD Police, I said, they're going
to be sorry they did this. They need more cops,
not less, more on these campuses. We'll go back and
talk about that. LAPD has got to bring back the
la A Lausd police force, not the LAPD. The LAUSD
has to bring back the laus D police force because
(25:07):
kids are not behaving better than they were thirty years ago,
much worse nowadays, much worse. They get away with murder
these kids nowadays. All Right, we'll talk about that. We'll
come back.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demand from kfi
AM six.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Forty when they took away the LAUSD police. I told
you it's a bad idea. These kids on these campuses
are not as well behaved as they were twenty or
thirty years ago. You need these cops on campus.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
There's a group calling to reassemble the LAUSD cops and
they want to bring them back, and they want them tomorrow.
Speaker 18 (25:48):
Talk to some of those parents here at LAUSD headquarters
and they are fuming. Those same parents addressing the school
board here just a couple of hours ago.
Speaker 16 (25:57):
Here's more good hure a support of school police.
Speaker 14 (26:03):
It is very necessary because it provides safety and surveillance.
Speaker 18 (26:08):
Jessica Guzman speaking before the LA Unified School District Board,
demanding the board bring back school police on campuses. Jessica,
who recently graduated high school, says her last few years
in school were scary without the presence of school police.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
A lockdown.
Speaker 16 (26:22):
Yeah, it was because there were some reports of like shooting,
and we thought they were on the campus, on campus,
we thought there was an active shooter.
Speaker 18 (26:30):
Calls to downsize or removed school police on public school
campuses surged nationwide during protest over the police killing of
George Floyd in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Except on the show, I never did that. I always
said that the LAUSD should their own police force. It
should expand, not get smaller. Yep, shoessayer, trendsetter Foreshadower, I
guess that's what they what they called me. Back then,
most parents.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
In this district did not know that that was happening,
that there was a movement to remove the school police
because the schools were closed here in LA.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
That was during the pandemic.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
On the Hills of protest to the Fund school.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I disagree with this woman. The news of LAUSD losing
their police force was pretty out there. We talked about
a lot here. It was in the papers every day,
It was on the radio every day, it was on
TV every day. Anybody who watched any kind of news
back then, you were pretty aware that LAUSD was losing
their cops.
Speaker 18 (27:25):
On the Hills of protest to the Fund school police.
The LAUSD board approving the plan to cut the district's
security force by a third. The board also scrapping twenty
five million from the school police budget, the largest amount
ever defunded from a school police budget.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
As a dedicated PTA leader and advocate, I conducted a
district wife survey.
Speaker 18 (27:44):
Jenna Noois has two kids in school in the district.
Jena telling the school board most parents in the survey,
including herself, want police back on campus.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
That's right, because these kids cannot behave today.
Speaker 13 (27:55):
Seventy five percent believe campus police have a.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
Role to play.
Speaker 18 (28:00):
Eighteen twenty nineteen school year, the LAUSD reported two thousand,
three fifteen incidents of fighting and physical aggression on school campuses.
That number nearly doubling in the twenty twenty two twenty
three school year to four thousand, five hundred and sixty.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Nine, four thousand, five hundred and sixty.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Nine, four thousand, five hundred and sixty nine.
Speaker 19 (28:19):
We won the school board bring back the school police
inside the campus because now we see so many hours
drugs and violence inside the school.
Speaker 18 (28:30):
We reached out to the superintendent's office, we reached out
to the school board, neither willing to make a comment
regarding this issue.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
All right, well, we'll find out what's going to happen.
This time of year. We always get people lighting off
fireworks Between now and July fourth, you'll hear it almost nightly.
And then as we get closer to July fourth. You'll
hear it hourly, people blowing off fireworks, huge fireworks, ones
you'd see at a at a professional exhibit or a
(28:57):
professional show, and and it's happening again. It happens every
single year. Everyone brings in a lot of fireworks into
Los Angeles, and everyone that's lit off is a crime.
You're committing a crime every time you light a firework off,
or a mad or any of that stuff. They're all illegal.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Investigators have not released the name or age of that
student who was arrested earlier today here at Valencia High School,
but school.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Just got out for the day.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
We spoke with several students off camera and they said
that they saw that individual being taken away in handcuffs
earlier today. They said he is a minor where of course,
not identifying that person at this time since authorities have
not released that information, but that person could be tied
to an incident. Back on April twenty eighth, a resident
provided kay tail A with this video. You see fireworks
(29:49):
going off there we go That later sparked an explosion
and brush fire behind some homes and Plumb Canyon.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Happens all the time. It happened here in Burbank where
the kids were. What's that apartment complex where all the
actors on Barro and live. You remember, it's it's where
all the you know, the actors and actresses live there.
It's a famous name for that apartment. They changed the name. Yeah, right, yeah,
they changed it, and they to take the stink off
(30:16):
the the joint didn't help. But oak Wood, oak Wood, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oakwood. Yes,
that's right, Belli o Oakwood, And that's where all the
you know, Hollywood wannabes are living. And so there was
a couple of kids who were playing with fireworks in
the back and they burned up that entire hillside. It was,
you know, literally burned for hours and hours and hours,
(30:38):
burned all the way up to that tree the everybody
goes up and sees up there and the Burbank hills.
But that's how, you know, they're saying, they're still saying
a strong possibility of of how that Palisades fire started
on January seventh. It was fireworks that were lit off
on January first, on New Year's Eve, late on thirty first,
early on the first, and that fire was put out
(31:01):
by LA Fire Department. But it may have reignited and
sparks may have flown and started that fire that wiped
out the palisades. You know, I was thinking about this, bellyo.
You're pretty good with logos, right, You're you call yourself
a logo gal like logos. I said that once. Okay,
do you think they'll change the logo for the WNBA
(31:21):
team the La Sparks because of what happened? Because if
you look at their logo, it's literally a palm tree
that's on fire and sparks are flying off the logo
or the palm tree in the logo. You think they'll
change that. I think they'll call it something other than
the La Sparks because, ma'am, we all very sensitive to that,
(31:44):
very sensitive. And if you look at their logo, go
look at up right now if you can, if you're
not driving, it's a palm tree that is throwing off sparks,
and like wow, Man oh Man, I don't know if
they can keep that logo around. That's exactly what happened here.
You know, three months ago, four months ago? Is it
four months already? It'll be five months almost five months
(32:06):
of that happened, Man oh Man.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Podcast has been five months. It has been five months
in early January. Yes, January, February, March, April, May, middle,
middle end of May. Now, yeah, so June seventh will
be five months?
Speaker 15 (32:19):
What right?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Or yeah? So it happened January seventh. So February seventh, March, April, May,
JUNI yeah, June seventh will be five months? Five months?
Did this thing happened? That's unbelievable. It's already been five months.
It seems like it happened yesterday. It does. It seems
like it happened literally like two weeks ago, and everybody
was all, you know, crazy with these fires and already
five months. Oh man, time does fly? Time does fly?
Speaker 7 (32:44):
All right?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It is The Conway Show.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
All right, very good.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
It feels like we're getting into summer. All the rain
is gone, you know, it's warm outside. It feels like
people are, you know, getting close to the end of
school year. You see graduation starting to happen. You see
graduation gifts in stores. Mother's Days over, Father's Days coming up.
We have Memorial Day this weekend. So it does feel
like we're turning a corner from a really horrible winter
(00:37):
that we are a lot of people suffered here in
Southern California. The fires, the floods, the economies and the
toilet the crime. We really had a really tough winter.
And so that's it. But what we're going to continue
to do even during the summer is the NewsWhip dig
dong with this Yet.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
This is the five h five News Worth five.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We stopped the show every day at five o'clock to
figure out what the hell's going on out there that
we're sort of unaware of, at least I'm unaware. We
start with Bellyole, what's happening at What's happening in the world.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Well, California home prices hit a new record high, according
to the latest data from the California Association of Realtors.
In April, the median price for a single family home
statewide rows to nine hundred and ten thousand dollars. That's
nearly three percent higher than in March and just slightly
above where it stood in April or twenty twenty four.
Experts say the modest year over year increases due in
(01:46):
part to high interest rates, which are keeping some buyers
on the sidelines. Also noted was a slowdown in the
luxury market driven by economic uncertainty. The Bay Area remains
the priceest with a median home price of one point
four million, followed by Central Coast at one point one
million and SoCal at eight hundred and eighty seven thousand.
(02:06):
The most affordable homes can be found far north, with
a median price of three hundred and eighty thousand.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Who's got that kind of money? Not me to spend
one point four million dollars on a starter home. Where
do they get their money? I don't know. I guess
stock market, inheritance, I don't know. Man but there's a
lot of money out there. You know, every time you
go to like a concert, it's packed and people are
spending four grand to sit up front. So there's money
out there. Krozier. What's going on in the world that
(02:34):
we don't know.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
About, well, pretty related to what Sharon just talked about.
Spain is fighting Airbnb. Spain's consumer rights ministry has ordered
Airbnb to remove more than sixty five thousand listings in
the country. Span had been ticked off. They've been talking
about over tourism and a growing housing crisis. Spain says
Airbnb was violating their short term reunta roles. They were
doing things like using fake license numbers for the properties
(02:57):
or not saying if a property was owned by a
person or a company. Airbnb says it's appealing the decision
and a shortage of housing is not its fault. Many
European countries have been dealing with rising rents, housing shortages,
and increasing anti tourism protests as holiday rental licenses have
also increased. That's what we've been talking about this for
a while, because you know, part of it is the
(03:19):
companies and private equities, they're all buying up homes now right,
And I think I saw something that was just last year,
like thirty to forty percent of home sales are now
going to private equity and companies.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Not people, and those are all being those are all
cash deals.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
Yeah, and they're just sitting on them either waiting for
them to rise or they're trying to rent them out
like Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And I also heard that the hotel companies, the big
hotel companies in Spain are behind this suit. I behind
this movement.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Oh sure if they can knock down at Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, yeah, you know, because those Airbnb commercials are pretty effective.
You know, it comes on TV. I see them a
lot on my television set where I'm looking at my
television and they say, oh, you're traveling with your family
and there's nine different hotel rooms, but at night, you
guys are all separate. Why not get one big rule,
you know, house, and all be together. I'm like, Oh,
(04:10):
that's a cool idea.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Exotic locations, unique sort of places to stay, all that stuff.
They definitely, and they've they've changed a lot of their
their working model. They they've kind of they're moving towards
the real estate aspect of things, where they're getting the properties.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
But you know, thank God for the Internet, because when
I was growing up, the only pictures I ever saw
of Fiji or far away places, you know, Spain, France, Africa, Europe, Asia, wherever,
you only saw them in like a brochure, you know,
or you saw footage of it, maybe on TV on
a travel show on Sunday every once in a while.
But now with the Internet, you can literally go to
(04:46):
anywhere in the world in a second.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I was looking just last night at the Jamestown settlement
in Virginia, their first settlement while for us to come
into America, it was the first town. And how they're
they're doing a whole dig into into fi and digging
out into the ground and archaeological digs and all this
stuff in Jamestown, which I never would have seen.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Prior to that. Right, But and then when you go
to see that, you're already familiar with it because of
what you've seen on the Internet.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Absolutely, to me, it doesn't take away from actually going there,
but it helps increase what it is to know that
you're looking at.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I said to my daughter when she was younger, I said,
my goal, I would love to look, just take a
real look inside every house in the world. I like
looking at houses, and she goes, you better get started,
you know, you got to get rolling. So far you've
seen like eight Jen and I look for open houses
every weekend. Is that right?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
And you go in yeah, oh absolutely, Oh that's great. Yeah.
And do they attack you the really does attack you.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
No, No, they're usually pretty good because for one thing,
anything around Claremont, it's a high value. So they know
they don't have to sell you into buying anything. Okay,
they know they'll get it. And what do you tell
them that you're looking for the house or you're looking
to move or a lot of times, yeah, we tell them.
She's like, I, we're always looking to kind of downsize,
you know, we're getting kids out of the house, and
you know we don't not maybe not in thessarily right now,
but we're definitely doing research.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I like walking around an open house and seeing the
dance that like desperate buyers are like, oh, you see
a couple over there, they're definitely gonna make an offer.
We got to make an offer today if we want
this place. And there's like a fight going on in there,
all right, Angel's happening in the world, Baby.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
So the Trust for Public Land has released as twenty
twenty five National Parks Score Index and the city, Yeah,
the City of Irvine has once again been recognized for
its outstanding park system, ranking second in the nation and
first in California.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Wait, the best parks are in Irvine.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Second best parks in the country are in Irvine, first
best in California.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
The Park Score is recognized as the national gold standard
comparison of park systems across the one hundred most populated
cities in the US, and the index found that ninety
four percent of Irvine residents live within a half mile
walk of a park. Now, the City of Irvine continues
to fortify its park system with the ongoing construction of
(07:10):
the Great Park, and that's the largest municipal park under
development in the nation.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, they're putting a billion dollars into that park, a billion.
The City of Los Angeles is a billion dollars in
debt at least. So the money is all in Orange County.
The money has been robbed, it's been taken from LA
and it all has moved to Orange County. You guys
have all the money.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
You know how many parks Irvine has no thank you
two hundred and sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And how many have you been to?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
One? One? You've never been to the Great Park? Right,
it's on my list. How many years you've been buzzing
around Irvine And I'm talking about like going down and
seeing John and you know, hanging out, like twelve twelve
years and you can see the Great Park from your window,
sure can, and you've never been there. No, God, it's
(08:00):
not finished yet. It's still pretty good. When they get
everything together all head on over take a look to
say over there. Yeah, god, step foh, you're bringing up
the rear here. What's going on?
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
So it's so funny because they just had some last night.
But you know corn nuts, right, I love them corn nuts.
So they launched a new partially popped like style of
what they have, really like an air popped kind of yeah,
like it's like almost there because obviously they're corn. So
(08:37):
the Hormale Food's own brand Cornuts, is expanding its product
range with the launch of a new line of partially
popped corn kernel snacks, the brand's first departure from its
signature fully crunched corn kernels. The line debuts with three flavors, white,
Cheddar Movie Theater, Butter Yes Please, and Kicking Cheddar, and
(08:58):
the latter adding a spicy lant to the range. So yeah,
I saw that on on the internet. They're selling the
popped what are they called popped corn nuts? Air popped cornuts. Yeah,
there's there's slogan is less out when passed.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So true? Maybe? Yeah, corn corn nuts. I love corn nuts,
but man, they're really tough on you. You know, they're
tough on your teeth, they're tough on your system. They
don't break down.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
You can hear someone eating them like two two doors away.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh yeah, and you can hear someone passing them two doors.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Away and you're prone to diverticulitis.

it's called like crunchy corn in small little you know,
single serves, and they are they're not as hard as
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's what this is. Yeah, they're already chewed. So what
do they do with them? They just popped them.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
They're they're they're in between like like they're just a
lot less crunchy than a corn nut. I mean they're
eyed them all the time. I got definitely got a box.
They had a you know, the display set up in

Speaker 12 (12:46):
We're we're just waiting on everyone to return for a

Speaker 12 (12:54):

Speaker 1 (12:59):
The place to be.
Speaker 12 (13:00):
So we look forward to everyone arriving here at the
Queen Mary to celebrate Commuter Today on board the Queen Mary.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, the Queen Mary Man, get out there before they
steal that from us and move it up to Seattle
or you know, somewhere else, like they did the spruce
goose pose up and didn't.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
You and Jen see a ghost or yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
We stayed on for they had Halloween haunt that we
used to do over at the at kalis X and
we slept on on the ship, and like at three
point thirty in the morning, Jen wakes me up and
she goes, hey, there's a kid in the corner in
a sailor's outfit. And I look over the and the
I didn't see it, but the curtain moved and she
(13:41):
was up. She was up until the sun came up.
She was put the lights on, she was reading. I
tried to sleep, she stayed awake. So we went to
check out at you know, ten o'clock or so, and
who am I kidding? Like noon, and we went up
to the desk. We said, hey, we need to check
out of room you know, eight fur five or whatever
(14:03):
it was. And I said, hey, can I ask you
something about that room? And she goes, you'ren't have to ask.
She said, did you or your wife see the kid
in the sailor's outfit doing a time out. I'm like, yes,
my wife saw it and she said, yeah, evidently a
kid died on the Queen Mary and he was in
a sailor's outfit and they see him in that room
(14:26):
all the time. Sometimes he's doing like a timeout where
he's just staring at the drapes. But it was weird
that that woman knew the history of that room, and
several people have reported that they see that little kid
in that room. I said, Oh, that's kind of a
cool deal. We won't be coming back, but it was
a cool deal. Because my wife flips out over stuff
(14:46):
like that. But I, on the other hand, thought it
was cool, you know. I mean, there was a cool
to have a ghost that boat, that ship is haunted,
and I think that's the attraction for a lot of people. Yeah,
people like that. All right, we have that motorcycle. I
don't know if anybody saw that today. I got a
lot of texts. I appreciate all the texts that I
get from the big Pursuits.
Speaker 13 (15:06):
Well, A suspect riding a possibly stolen motorcycle leads police
in the CHP on a wild chase. It began in
locking Yata, flint Ridge. The motorcycle sped on streets and freeways,
running red lights, riding on the wrong side, cutting off vehicles.
The chase extended from Glendale to Pasadena and finally in
downtown LA before the bike rode into an apartment complex
(15:27):
underground parking structure of Figaroa and Sunset authorities eventually suspending
the search with no custody of that suspect.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, that's the new move where you know, you run
away from the cops, you get into a mall or
a big apartment building, you ditch the motorcycle to the
car and you're good to go. That's It's a new move,
a fairly new move for these guys, and it happens
to work sometimes. I mean, I wouldn't, you know, rely
on it one hundred percent, but it does work sometimes.
(15:57):

think I'd want to be a center of attention. I'm
on TV that sort of thing. No, it's not the case. Yeah,
I like sliding.
Speaker 15 (18:33):
Yeah, you know, like when we started the three PM show,

was just such a fun funny experience, just the perfect
person to have that.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
Who knew though Ellen had was like a rachnophobic remember,

Interviewed on an overpass? I like the you know, the
receipt overpass of the one on one.
Speaker 13 (18:55):
Remember, oh yeah, the bugs. She couldn't have been touched.
Who knew she was good? She was gonna like warm
whenevery reptile came on. So it was great because it

relyve on KFI AM six forty. There's some kind of
protest going on rally of remembered, so George Floyd. Downtown
Los Angeles. If you run into traffic, there's people gathering
(20:15):
in downtown LA.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty, KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It is the Conway Show and we are moving on,
moving on with the big program here all right. Westwood,
beautiful place to hang. But they're frustrated in Westwood. Rich people,
they get frustrated pretty quickly because they put They spend
a lot of money on taxes. If you have a
ten million dollar home, you're probably spending one hundred and
(20:49):
twenty five thousand dollars a year just in property text
and you want services. If you're gonna spend that kind
of dough, you don't want your whole town to go
to crap.
Speaker 16 (21:05):
Public profanity, urination, growing piles of garbage and debris, drugs, girls,
squatters and squalor, and an endless stream of troublemakers and
intruders leaping over fences, breaking into the same home coming
and going at all.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Hours of the day and night.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It sounds like a nightmare. And where is this an
Orange County?
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Why did you mention all bad things and put girls
in there.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Yeah, I don't know. That is odd that he mentioned girls. Yeah, drugs,
girls yeah, girls, girls, yeah, I don't know, lady.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Girls, squatters and squalor.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And maybe girl squatters. Is that what he's trying to say?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Girls squatters?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
You'd have to say girls squatters. Let's see if I
can help him out here, edit this little all right,
here we go.
Speaker 16 (21:56):
And debris, drugs, girls, squatters, and skwalor, and an endless
stream of troublemakers and intruders leaping over fences, breaking into
the same home coming and going at all hours of
the day and night.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
These are five million dollar homes and they can't get
a break.
Speaker 16 (22:15):
This is life in an otherwise pleasant, upscale, family filled
neighborhood in Westwood, tucked above Santa Monica Boulevard, across from
the Westfield Century City Mall. We're told the homeowners are
an older brother and sister who are offensive, loud, and
at the very least unconventional.
Speaker 17 (22:36):
They've been a menace to the.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Unconventional and.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Unconventional unconventional.
Speaker 17 (22:48):
They've been a menace to the neighborhood for the whole
time that we've lived here, but in the past ten
to twelve months. They are hoards, and they've hoarded themselves
out of their own home, and they have been living
in their cars.
Speaker 16 (23:03):
And everyone else has been living or squatting in their home.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
These are three to seven million dollar homes and they've
filled it up with junk, with junk where they can't
move around in the house anymore, so they have to
sleep in their car.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Which their neighbors describe as a hell house.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Why are you back there, I homes Lisbeth.
Speaker 17 (23:24):
It has completely blown up and disrupted everything, and there's
drug paphernalia all over the neighborhood. It's across the street
from a school, a family dental building, and you.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Can't do anything about it. Can't do a thing about it.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
And I even called Adult Protective Services to try to
get them to help them.
Speaker 17 (23:43):
Sometimes in the winter months, their cars running through the
night to provide them heat.
Speaker 16 (23:48):
Neighbors are banding together appealing to anyone who will listen,
including police, city leaders, building and fire hazard inspectors, even
the courts.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
But these home owns.
Speaker 16 (24:00):
Are becoming more hopeless with the typical our hands are
tied responses.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
You know, in the old days, somebody would go there
and just kick the crap out of them and straighten
them out. And you can't do that nowadays. You just
had to sort of deal with nuts in your neighborhood.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
Well, we always knew to them as the creepy neighbors
when we were kids. Well, it was only the past
few years when things started getting really serious.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
They always say in LA. We've talked about this before,
if you love your neighbors, never move in LA because man,
oh man, there's some crazies out there, crazy crazy, crazy people.
All right, la USD police, they're calling on the board
to bring la USD Police force back. I said that
(24:46):
when they disband la USD Police, I said, they're going
to be sorry they did this. They need more cops,
not less, more on these campuses. We'll go back and
talk about that. LAPD has got to bring back the
la A Lausd police force, not the LAPD. The LAUSD
has to bring back the laus D police force because
(25:07):
kids are not behaving better than they were thirty years ago,
much worse nowadays, much worse. They get away with murder
these kids nowadays. All Right, we'll talk about that. We'll
come back.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demand from kfi
AM six.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Forty when they took away the LAUSD police. I told
you it's a bad idea. These kids on these campuses
are not as well behaved as they were twenty or
thirty years ago. You need these cops on campus.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
There's a group calling to reassemble the LAUSD cops and
they want to bring them back, and they want them tomorrow.
Speaker 18 (25:48):
Talk to some of those parents here at LAUSD headquarters
and they are fuming. Those same parents addressing the school
board here just a couple of hours ago.
Speaker 16 (25:57):
Here's more good hure a support of school police.
Speaker 14 (26:03):
It is very necessary because it provides safety and surveillance.
Speaker 18 (26:08):
Jessica Guzman speaking before the LA Unified School District Board,
demanding the board bring back school police on campuses. Jessica,
who recently graduated high school, says her last few years
in school were scary without the presence of school police.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
A lockdown.
Speaker 16 (26:22):
Yeah, it was because there were some reports of like shooting,
and we thought they were on the campus, on campus,
we thought there was an active shooter.
Speaker 18 (26:30):
Calls to downsize or removed school police on public school
campuses surged nationwide during protest over the police killing of
George Floyd in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Except on the show, I never did that. I always
said that the LAUSD should their own police force. It
should expand, not get smaller. Yep, shoessayer, trendsetter Foreshadower, I
guess that's what they what they called me. Back then,
most parents.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
In this district did not know that that was happening,
that there was a movement to remove the school police
because the schools were closed here in LA.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
That was during the pandemic.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
On the Hills of protest to the Fund school.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I disagree with this woman. The news of LAUSD losing
their police force was pretty out there. We talked about
a lot here. It was in the papers every day,
It was on the radio every day, it was on
TV every day. Anybody who watched any kind of news
back then, you were pretty aware that LAUSD was losing
their cops.
Speaker 18 (27:25):
On the Hills of protest to the Fund school police.
The LAUSD board approving the plan to cut the district's
security force by a third. The board also scrapping twenty
five million from the school police budget, the largest amount
ever defunded from a school police budget.
Speaker 9 (27:39):
As a dedicated PTA leader and advocate, I conducted a
district wife survey.
Speaker 18 (27:44):
Jenna Noois has two kids in school in the district.
Jena telling the school board most parents in the survey,
including herself, want police back on campus.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
That's right, because these kids cannot behave today.
Speaker 13 (27:55):
Seventy five percent believe campus police have a.
Speaker 7 (27:58):
Role to play.
Speaker 18 (28:00):
Eighteen twenty nineteen school year, the LAUSD reported two thousand,
three fifteen incidents of fighting and physical aggression on school campuses.
That number nearly doubling in the twenty twenty two twenty
three school year to four thousand, five hundred and sixty.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Nine, four thousand, five hundred and sixty.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
Nine, four thousand, five hundred and sixty nine.
Speaker 19 (28:19):
We won the school board bring back the school police
inside the campus because now we see so many hours
drugs and violence inside the school.
Speaker 18 (28:30):
We reached out to the superintendent's office, we reached out
to the school board, neither willing to make a comment
regarding this issue.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
All right, well, we'll find out what's going to happen.
This time of year. We always get people lighting off
fireworks Between now and July fourth, you'll hear it almost nightly.
And then as we get closer to July fourth. You'll
hear it hourly, people blowing off fireworks, huge fireworks, ones
you'd see at a at a professional exhibit or a
(28:57):
professional show, and and it's happening again. It happens every
single year. Everyone brings in a lot of fireworks into
Los Angeles, and everyone that's lit off is a crime.
You're committing a crime every time you light a firework off,
or a mad or any of that stuff. They're all illegal.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Investigators have not released the name or age of that
student who was arrested earlier today here at Valencia High School,
but school.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Just got out for the day.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
We spoke with several students off camera and they said
that they saw that individual being taken away in handcuffs
earlier today. They said he is a minor where of course,
not identifying that person at this time since authorities have
not released that information, but that person could be tied
to an incident. Back on April twenty eighth, a resident
provided kay tail A with this video. You see fireworks
(29:49):
going off there we go That later sparked an explosion
and brush fire behind some homes and Plumb Canyon.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Happens all the time. It happened here in Burbank where
the kids were. What's that apartment complex where all the
actors on Barro and live. You remember, it's it's where
all the you know, the actors and actresses live there.
It's a famous name for that apartment. They changed the name. Yeah, right, yeah,
they changed it, and they to take the stink off
(30:16):
the the joint didn't help. But oak Wood, oak Wood, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oakwood. Yes,
that's right, Belli o Oakwood, And that's where all the
you know, Hollywood wannabes are living. And so there was
a couple of kids who were playing with fireworks in
the back and they burned up that entire hillside. It was,
you know, literally burned for hours and hours and hours,
(30:38):
burned all the way up to that tree the everybody
goes up and sees up there and the Burbank hills.
But that's how, you know, they're saying, they're still saying
a strong possibility of of how that Palisades fire started
on January seventh. It was fireworks that were lit off
on January first, on New Year's Eve, late on thirty first,
early on the first, and that fire was put out
(31:01):
by LA Fire Department. But it may have reignited and
sparks may have flown and started that fire that wiped
out the palisades. You know, I was thinking about this, bellyo.
You're pretty good with logos, right, You're you call yourself
a logo gal like logos. I said that once. Okay,
do you think they'll change the logo for the WNBA
(31:21):
team the La Sparks because of what happened? Because if
you look at their logo, it's literally a palm tree
that's on fire and sparks are flying off the logo
or the palm tree in the logo. You think they'll
change that. I think they'll call it something other than
the La Sparks because, ma'am, we all very sensitive to that,
(31:44):
very sensitive. And if you look at their logo, go
look at up right now if you can, if you're
not driving, it's a palm tree that is throwing off sparks,
and like wow, Man oh Man, I don't know if
they can keep that logo around. That's exactly what happened here.
You know, three months ago, four months ago? Is it
four months already? It'll be five months almost five months
(32:06):
of that happened, Man oh Man.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Podcast has been five months. It has been five months
in early January. Yes, January, February, March, April, May, middle,
middle end of May. Now, yeah, so June seventh will
be five months?
Speaker 15 (32:19):
What right?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Or yeah? So it happened January seventh. So February seventh, March, April, May,
JUNI yeah, June seventh will be five months? Five months?
Did this thing happened? That's unbelievable. It's already been five months.
It seems like it happened yesterday. It does. It seems
like it happened literally like two weeks ago, and everybody
was all, you know, crazy with these fires and already
five months. Oh man, time does fly? Time does fly?
