The victim, now identified as runaway Celeste Rivas, had been missing for more than a year. Detectives are investigating whether the 20-year-old artist had a connection to her, executing a search warrant at the home he was staying in to determine how she died.

is sixty. It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Mark Tomson is here.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's such a pleasure to be here. Thank you everybody.
Please let you know I sort of forgot you were
coming in, which is not an insult.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I just it's not a normal day for me. Usually
I'm here on Tuesdays. That's right to be here on
this Friday. And we've had parking lots a little different,
by the way, on Friday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Empty, totally empty. Yeah, And that's the way it used
to be on weekends when I used to work here
on weekends. You got to start on weekends here and
then sure do it weekdays. All right. So we've got
a lot going on, we do. We have. We have
not only is Alex Stone going to come on in
a second, but we also have the Charlie Kirk Memorial
is going to happen on Sunday. How are you going? Yeah,
(00:52):
well I can't. You can't get there, all right? Are
you going? I think I'm going? Yeah, I think I'm going.
It's it's about fifty fifty, right, now okay, all right,
let's talk about singer David who has a lot of
listeners thirty three million monthly listeners, I guess, with his
music and his world tour. But there was a body
(01:14):
found in a car that's registered to him, and now
the tour has been canceled and he may be looking
at a lot of trouble in his future. And here
with all the details is our own Alex Stone from
ABC News. Alex, how you bub.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Hey, guys.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, this singer is apparently really popular around the world,
and he's doing this global tour right now, and he's
supposed to be at the Greek Theater tomorrow doing his
La stop, the final stop, and was going to have
an event at the Grammy Museum this weekend. Those are
now gone and not going to go on. San Francisco
was tonight. He's not doing that. He canceled Seattle earlier
(01:50):
this week. He had been going on. He was in
I believe Minneapolis last weekend as the LAPD was investigating
all of this. But the company behind and promoting his
tour and his album which was supposed to come out today,
and Interscope Records, his company that he's signed with. They
all say that they're no longer promoting this album coming out.
(02:11):
One of his big songs, by the way, it's called
Romantic Homicide. And so yeah, with this investigation going on.
So this goes back a couple of weeks. That tesla
that was found abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. It went
to a tow yard in Hollywood and workers realized something
didn't smell right.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
They called the lapd.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
They open up the front trunk of the tesla and
there is a very highly decomposed body of a female
in that front trunk and they couldn't tell race or
eye color in that moment because she was so decomposed.
But the person at a tattoo reading sh be quiet
if you hold your finger up to your mouth, written
on the inside of her index finger, and that would
(02:54):
play a role in this whole thing. But then this
week they finally identified her as fifteen year olds Reevus
reported missing a year and a half ago from Lake
Elsin or Out in Riverside County. And ye neighbors say,
super sweet girl.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
This guy.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
She would come in buy things from his convenience store.
He says, really sweet.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Joe was quiet, nice, she come and if she wants
you by like it like a chips sold leave.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So her body was so decomposed. The La County Medical
Examiner has not been able to figure out a cause
of death, and that is important to know for the
lapd Our sources are saying that they've got to know
where are they going to go with this? That you know,
all signs would indicate it was murder, but what if
it was something else If they can't get a cause
of death. Did she overdose or have an accident and
(03:41):
somebody freaked out and it would still be a crime,
but improperly dump her body in that tessel, that'd be
very different than murdering somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And they don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
But the other thing our sources are telling us that's
one thing that they one avenue they need to figure out.
The other one is they want to know what this
relationship was that and how he knew her and what
they were doing together and what was going on that
she went missing as a thirteen year old girl and
he's an adult. And that is another obvious major problem
(04:11):
there that they want to figure out.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And then that tattoo.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
David has the same tattoo on the same right index
finger and We talked to our law enforcement analyst, Brad Garrett,
former FBI criminal profiler, and he said that tattoo is
something that clearly the LAPD is going to say he's
got it, she's got it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
We want to know more.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
One would need to get to the bottom of that
to see if in fact she had some sort of
relationship with him. That still doesn't mean that he harmed her,
but would give you a lot more information as to
circumstances of her having interactions with him and in particular
interactions with his vehicle.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
By the way, a bunch of celebrities do have that tattoo.
Now that's apparently a thing. Rihanna's got it that what
does it mean?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It means essentially be quiet?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I think.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I mean it's it's written when you hold your index
finger up to your mouth, it says like be quiet.
I'm sure there's a bigger explanation to it. But why
it's a thing apparently reanimated a thing, so it's not unique.
But David and this girl, thirteen year old girl at
fifteen when she died. It was found on both of them.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
But LAPD searched.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
The home in the Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills
area this week. We know they took out a computer,
a bunch of other things. And at this point, nobody's
been arrested, nobody's been charged, but it's very active going
into the weekend. Those toured eights are canceled. He's soon
to go international to go to Oslo and other places
(05:39):
on that tour. Some of those have already publicly been canceled.
The others as of right now, they're still selling tickets
for but who knows.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, So we just heard this just came in
that ABC ten there were shots fired.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
There were up in Sacramento. Yeah, they've got three shots
went through a front window. ABC ten is a big
brick billing right along the freeway in near downtown Sacramento,
and there aren't a lot of windows. There are in
the front, but it's kind of on the front is
the backside when you go by on the freeway or
by the road that's along And it's a big brick
(06:13):
building with no windows.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And do you think that he says anything to do
with Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And Sacramento police say they don't know either that somebody
drove by their three through the same window.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I mean, it would appear targeted just based on that.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
It was.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
They were very close to one another. Nobody was hit.
He went into a lobby of the building of ABC ten.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But nobody was injured.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And okay, nobody was injured. What time that happened? Recently? Then?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
About an hour and a half ago, ninety minutes ago?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Ah, bobo, all right, well maybe it was, you know,
God only knows. There's a lot of lunatic Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Mean yesterday there was a protest outside that building over Kimmel. Yeah,
the people were angry about Kim Will being taken off
the air, so protesters showed up that. Yeah, the atensions
are definitely high right now.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's unbelievable. Buddy, coming on and we'll talk with you soon.
You got to have a nice week, all right, thanks? Man,
all right, there he goes. What a story that is,
you know, to have this young girl who left home
at thirteen from Lake elsinor ends up in frunk so tragic,
you know, decomposing in this car. Man, it's it's you know,
(07:20):
I think everybody listening right now, you're lucky if craziness
doesn't come into your life, right you know, I mean,
you try to do everything right. You try to protect
your family, your home, you know, your future. You try
to you know, be a good person at work. But
tragedy can hit any family at any time.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
No, I mean I think that there's a randomness in
the chaos sort of to life generally. As you say,
you can try to do the right thing all the time,
and just that randomness in chaos is visited upon you.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You know it. Really it just sucks. That's part of
the human condition. Hey, Bellio, who was eliminated off of
Dancing with the Stars last night? Maybe these shots have
something to do with then possible that? Are you not? Oh? Yeah,
I thought you looked at Oh Angel looks at it? Angel.
You're a big fan of that Dancing with the Stars. Right, Well,
my mom is, Oh your mommy, And you've gone to
(08:10):
several of those tapings.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Right, I have because she loves it so much. We've
gone to maybe three. I think they'll play altogether.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, And what did they tell you when you're going
to the taping? What did they tell you to where?
Speaker 9 (08:22):
Oh, they tell you to you know, dress it up
a little, Yeah, dress it up.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
They dress it up, that's right. Yeah, cocktail attire. They
want everybody looking good in the crowd. All all right,
all right.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So we got a lot of news were following the
Charlie Kirk memorial services this Sunday. I was watching I
think it was Newsmax or Newsworld or How's your News.
And they're expecting two hundred and fifty to three hundred
and fifty thousand people going to that service, and so
they have seventy three thousand will beat the State Farmer
Stadium where the Cardinals play. And then I think they're
(08:57):
securing the stadium next door where the hockey that the
Coyotes used to play. Wow, and I think they're going
to fill that up as well. So he had I mean,
he led a real movement.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I mean I I think that the Turning Point USA,
I think is more responsible for the Trump victory than was,
for example, Joe Rogan or the Manisphere.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You know that's talked about.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So Charlie Kirk, his legacy is that is that Turning
Point USA movement, which continues.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No one went home for Dancing with the Stars this
week when it premiered. Wow, really double elimination next week, however,
that's the one to go to Angel the double elimination.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
That may explain the shots you think somebody want They
wanted somebody eliminated.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
They saw the dancing and they said, somebody's got to leave.
This show is unbelievable. All right, we're going to continue here.
It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson's here.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
We ordered pizza. Robin is leaving the show. She's been
with us for hell we are You've been here three years,
four years? You've been here rum three years? Yeah? Years,
three years? And where are you going? San Diego? Okay,
we're gonna talk you more about that. But I got
a theory because we always buy have a last meal
(10:12):
for the person leaving last Yeah, and I have a
theory that if we decided to pay you one hundred
dollars instead, you'd rather have the hundi than the pizza.
Is that true? Well?
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Yeah, since I lactose intolerant, yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Well, look I like to argue, I think, but don't
you enjoy sort of the pomp and circumstance of a
farewell party.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's not just the meal, it's like they but we
can still do the party without the meal. Oh I see, okay, yeah,
And I think Balio provides the meal and puts it
all together. So when the person leaving KFI Sue's KFI
doesn't mention Bellio, I see, it's just to say she's
got no beef with me. That's right, That's right, yeah, Bellio.
(10:52):
It is always looking to protect yourself. All right. Months
is here, Michael Monks, how you both?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Nice to see you.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Wait, I'm not leaving, am I not?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You're here? You never know in this business. I know
as we all know that witnessed you getting upset the
other day. I love how you how quickly you and
Krozer blow? I really do we have rough childhoods? Both?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh? Is that right? I think that's all it comes from.
What can we go into that room?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Quick?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Did your mom and dad?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I think Krozer will talk about his okay, she want
to talk about yours. I don't even know Krozer's childhood.
I don't mean to project my trauma to you. Crozer
had some challenges. Krozer was homeless when he moved out here.
I know he shared that. Yeah, he was living in
a tree and he wrote a book about it, and
that book comes out in mid October at our big
Morongo party. That'll be good. Yeah, self published. All right,
(11:37):
Monks is here obviously to talk about La back in
the convention business and what's going on.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
We've been talking about it for days and days leading
up to this vote, because they did decide today they're
going to bite the bullet. They're going to spend more
than two point sixty million dollarsay to expand the convention
center and make debt payments for the next thirty years
to the tune of at least.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Eighty million dollars maybe more. We already know how tight
their budget is. We already really help. Where's that money
coming from? They are This is the wheels of a
dream Conway. This is La at its finest.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
This is La dreaming about making it big in La.
The government itself showing up here homeless in their car
and saying I'm gonna roll the dice and I'm gonna
make it happen. You already heard the stories for the
listeners who have been listening all week that there have
been concerns that these annual debt payments are too much. Yes,
(12:33):
the project sounds great. Yes, the conventions that are does
need to be refurbished. Yes it sounds good, but we
can't afford this right now. I was really surprised by
the vote, to be honest with you, it ended up
being eleven to two.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Wow, man, those people are.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
One of the people who voted against it was a councilwoman,
Katie Yaroslavsky, who is the chairperson of the Budget Committee,
which really vetted this project.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Here's what she said today.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
This project is being forced into an Olympic driven deadline
that is unrealistic on its face.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
She's right.
Speaker 10 (13:03):
Over the next nine hundred and ten days, crews would
have to work six days a week every week, with
only twenty days afloat days and several more for bad
weather and other contingencies. She's right, that's approximately five weeks
of slack in one hundred and thirty week construction schedule.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
Even the smallest disruption supply chain delays, weather, labor shortages,
or the city's own approval process which we all know
what that is, will push us off schedule.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So she's basically saying there is no margin for air.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
And what was interesting, Tim, is that even the folks
who supported the project today recognize that. They said, this
is the hardest vote we've ever taken. This is extremely significant,
and otherwise we just want to make We want to
make this investment because downtown needs it. We need a
new revenue source, so we're going to spend money to
(13:57):
make money. Unice's her Nandez, councilwoman from the first District
representing Chinatown Westlake that area.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
She surprised me.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I thought she was going to oppose this because she
asked the most pointed questions in the budget committee, like
how much is this going to impact animal services, parks
and those sorts of things. Oh, there's no way she's
coming on board with this. Well, today she decided she
was going to vote in favor of it, but she
didn't want any applause from the union crowd that was
there saying we're looking forward to these jobs.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Here's what she said. I will not allow for.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
The convention to be a world class convention center while
the rest of the city looks like got them city.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I will not allow it.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
I'm voting yesterday, but trust and believe I'm not going
to stop fighting like hell fire, basic city services, fast
city services, clean streets, safe sidewalks, working street lights. We
cannot afford billion dollar ambitions for his business interests while
leaving people waiting a year for a street light to
get fixed.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So, yes, I'm betting on this project today.
Speaker 12 (14:57):
But I will hold I will hold every depart every leader,
and every budget cycle accountable to making sure the rest
of LA is not left behind the year after year.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
To her credit, she has asked the most pointed questions
during budget cycles about why so much money is spent
on these lawsuits? W was so much money goes to
the police department, we don't have the force at the
levels that we want, and why other public facing departments
lose out so frequently? But this seemed contradictory.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Today, all right, so obviously somebody greased all the eleven
of these.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Well, the downtown business interest and the unions showed up
in force because what they believe will happen is right
out of the gate. When they start construction on this
about thirteen thousand jobs will emerge. That's not small change.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
But won't they also, monks, won't they also have to
cancel a lot of upcoming events because the construction of
this convention center, as far as.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Things that are currently scheduled I don't know how that's
going to work. But there's a big event scheduled there
in twenty twenty eight called the Olympics. So they're doing
this thing for that two phases. Yes, yeah, So they're
going to pause it in March of twenty twenty eight.
They hope to finish in phase one. They're not going
to get it done. Well, you heard Councilman Yarslotsky say
as much.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
If they don't, there's some Olympic penalties associated with They're
supposed to be a limp in the Olympic events scheduled
and if you don't get you know, them hosted in
that venue, then they will have.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
To pay to relocate them. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Not only that, I'm glad you brought this up, Mark,
because another point that Katie Arslotsky made the councilman, we
are are going to be on the hook for these
this debt, but the Olympics aren't just coming here. If
somehow they do not turn a profit, the city itself
is on the hook for the first two hundred and
seventy million dollars.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
The state is then on the hook for the next
two hundred and seventy million dollars and then whatever beyond
that comes right back to the city. So if this
is an Olympic Games, let's say it loses a billion dollars, right,
that is seven hundred million dollars, the city would have
to come a lot and.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Cover on its own. All right, Well, move to La
enjoy that rising. It's not the County of La that's paying.
This is the city, say, city project, city project. So
I'm out. I'm in Burbank. I'm out. Man, You've got
a room for life.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I'm out, all right, Monks, thank you man, plus seven
and nine. Tomorrow we'll dive into this even deeper tomorrow,
you can.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I can't wait, Monks. Monks is the best man, and
he runs hot. I like that guy. I've seen him
dress people down the hall. I like that. No, I
haven't seen that. I've only seen the kinder, quieter side
of mind. You got to see when he gets to rolling. Sorry,
we're live on Sorry, thanks man, Monks shut my mic off,
each other, shut it off because I said, somebody like.

Yeah, she'll have me, my brother, and my dad all
under one roof again, and then eventually Brian will come
and we'll be a family of five.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
That is nice. That's it rolls some cameras as a
reality show, and that it.
Speaker 8 (20:48):
Would be very interesting coming home.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I used to spend Wednesdays with us. You would go
home late so you'd hang out with Bellio and Bellio
has said on many, many occasions that she considers you
her her little sister, and she absolutely loves you. And
she didn't say it about anybody because deep downside Belly
hates everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's not even that deep down actually, it's sort of
right up on the surface.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, we are going to miss you around here, and
I and I've got to ask you and also Robin.
And we'll talk to Robin here in a second. When
we do have these last supper parties and we have
a party and we got cake, and we've got ice cream,
and we've got pizza and you know, chicken or whatever.
Would you rather have thee hundred dollars that we spend
(21:30):
on the food or the food?
Speaker 6 (21:32):
You know what?
Speaker 8 (21:32):
I'd rather have the food.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Really, Really, it's a party.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
It's the party idea.
Speaker 13 (21:38):
It's the getting together with friends and just hanging out, eating, drinking,
having a good time. And there's something that I don't know,
special and meaningful about sharing.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
A meal with you.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
See, Tim, it's not always about the money. Tim is
so much about the money. The reality is that it's
the camaraderie. It's what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Now, that's what a hundred looks like And that's what
the pizza looks like. So you can tell that, hey, belly,
oh get out. It's a pretty good pitch. It's a
pretty good pitch. And we're not going to say where
we got the pizza from because we paid for it.
If we got it for free, maybe we'd give out
(22:20):
a shout out. But that's them all right, Robin, where

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Keik.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
We learned from Keana, who we call Keiki. She was
the producer of the Gary and Shannon Show. She's leaving
her last days today, we'll miss her. But we learned
she's obsessed with the movie Titanic. And I said to her,
I said, well, how old were you when Titanic came out?
You must have been very young, four or five six
years old. And she said, well, it's even better than that.
(25:36):
December nineteenth, nineteen ninety seven, is when Titanic came out.
That's the day Kek was born. Oh it's just insane.
How about that? How about that to make you feel old?
So what are you? Twenty nine?
Speaker 8 (25:49):
I'm gonna be twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Twenty eight? Okay, all right? Man oh man.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I explained to her that she missed the magical Mark
Thompson years. The late nineties were I was just it
was you were on fire. I was on fire as
a network show. I was on Fox eleven every night.
American Idol title American Idol started the little after that.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It did aol. That's a good question. I want to
say it started around two thousand. Well, let's look it
up here. Let's see. Maybe not though, maybe you're right.
Maybe it was the late nineties. American Idol started in
two thousand and two. June eleventh, two thousand and two,
and you were the Voice of American Idol two thousand
(26:34):
and two, the start of American Idol. Yeah, and you
caught you.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
You have a pause in there that you call it
the Thompson Yeah, and it's Seacrest stole it?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What stole it? How does it go?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You know last night they sang their hearts out? Tonight
one goes home, who stays? Who goes?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Find out next live on American Idol, The Live and
on American Idol. There's a pause there. I created it
and Seacrest stolen How many years were you with American
Idol sixteen seasons? I think it was. You know, when
that show was at its peak, it probably had fifty
(27:15):
million nightly viewers. It was huge or more. Everybody watched
that show. And the demand for tickets, I mean everybody
wanted tickets. All the celebrities wanted them.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I mean like Ben Stiller, Tom Hanks, they all wanted
you know these The finale was attended by all those
kinds of luminaries.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We only have about two minutes here, but don't you
have a quick story about tickets for American Idol.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That was my friend whose mom? The thing that's and
you'll appreciate this, like with Carol Burnett, there were Dodgers
tickets or whatever. If somebody is really a fan of
the franchise, you feel really good if you give them tickets.
So this guy told me, and they better go. Yeah,
exactly right. And so this guy told me, my mom
is a super big fan of Idol. She follows everything,
(27:57):
and we're fans too. Is there any way that we
get tickets? And guys that the tickets are so tough,
blah blah blah. Let me do what I can. So
I went literally to the president of the network. I said, hey,
you know, I know this is tough. It's a last
minute ask, but if you could, I just need three
tickets to the I think it was the elimination where
they announced that somebody's going to be eliminated. And because
(28:19):
there's as you know, idle was the performance one night
and then the elimination the second night. Anyway, I got
the tickets. It was incredible. So I gave them in
the way you to understand, it was so hot, so
hard to get them. They send them off. They send
a messenger to this guy's house with instructions as to
you know, these are the tickets. They're not transferable. Come
(28:39):
the doors open at such and such a time. We
go live to the East coast at five o'clock. We
closed the doors at four thirty or whatever time it was.
You must be in your seats by four fifteen whatever.
And there's a whole routine. So they send them via messenger.
They get them.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I call them and said, yeah, we got them, blah
blah blah.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Rolls around for this elimination, and I get a call
from the president of the network's office saying, where are
your friends?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Oh no, it was like for something, And I said,
I don't know, let me let me text. I'm sure.
I'm sure they're there. I talked. I talked to them
that morning. The soll we're on our way. Thanks again.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
So I text them and I don't hear anything back.
Yeah again, because it because my reputation, you know. So
I'm texting, texting, teching fever sly. I hear nothing back.
And finally the secretary from the president's network of the
network called me and said, hey, it's like eight minutes
to air, and it looks really weird. There are three
(29:40):
seats open and the front and those were your seats.
Oh my god, we're going to have to give them
to seat fillers, to other people who are waiting, And
I said, I completely understand. I don't know what's happened.
I'm really really sorry. I'll find out what happened, but
please please give those tickets.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
So I'm texting, texting tech.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I hear nothing idle goes on, that episode arts and ends,
and then maybe two and a half hours later, I
get a text, going, oh, just getting these took mom
to the grove for lunch and didn't realize how the
time was getting away from us and didn't and missed
(30:17):
the taping. I mean, these are people who wall to wall,
we're talking about how much they love the show, looking
forward to going, but they lost track of the time
during lunch. And then I said, we why didn't you
respond to my text? He said, because they make you
check your phone when you go into idol, so our
phones are already checked and we just decided now we're
going to go. We got They've gotten there at one
o'clock in the afternoon. They got their hours before they
(30:38):
had to be checked their phones.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
It was like the perfect storm.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
And that's why you don't do anything nice for it.
Don't ever do anything nice for anyone that's such a
great brutal.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, and when you get a call from the President
network and he's pissed you, your whole world stops. Yeah,
really was.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
It was really a moment that those people were agitated,
like we've we've given you, we've roped off the very
best seats for you, and then your guest on the show.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It wor all right, but that's a great American Idol story.
Now you know who's strewed over American Idol. They did
Conway Show on demand on the iHeart Radio app. Now
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
(31:27):
on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. KFI AM
is sixty. It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Mark Tomson is here.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's such a pleasure to be here. Thank you everybody.
Please let you know I sort of forgot you were
coming in, which is not an insult.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I just it's not a normal day for me. Usually
I'm here on Tuesdays. That's right to be here on
this Friday. And we've had parking lots a little different,
by the way, on Friday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Empty, totally empty. Yeah, And that's the way it used
to be on weekends when I used to work here
on weekends. You got to start on weekends here and
then sure do it weekdays. All right. So we've got
a lot going on, we do. We have. We have
not only is Alex Stone going to come on in
a second, but we also have the Charlie Kirk Memorial
is going to happen on Sunday. How are you going? Yeah,
(00:52):
well I can't. You can't get there, all right? Are
you going? I think I'm going? Yeah, I think I'm going.
It's it's about fifty fifty, right, now okay, all right,
let's talk about singer David who has a lot of
listeners thirty three million monthly listeners, I guess, with his
music and his world tour. But there was a body
(01:14):
found in a car that's registered to him, and now
the tour has been canceled and he may be looking
at a lot of trouble in his future. And here
with all the details is our own Alex Stone from
ABC News. Alex, how you bub.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Hey, guys.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Yeah, this singer is apparently really popular around the world,
and he's doing this global tour right now, and he's
supposed to be at the Greek Theater tomorrow doing his
La stop, the final stop, and was going to have
an event at the Grammy Museum this weekend. Those are
now gone and not going to go on. San Francisco
was tonight. He's not doing that. He canceled Seattle earlier
(01:50):
this week. He had been going on. He was in
I believe Minneapolis last weekend as the LAPD was investigating
all of this. But the company behind and promoting his
tour and his album which was supposed to come out today,
and Interscope Records, his company that he's signed with. They
all say that they're no longer promoting this album coming out.
(02:11):
One of his big songs, by the way, it's called
Romantic Homicide. And so yeah, with this investigation going on.
So this goes back a couple of weeks. That tesla
that was found abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. It went
to a tow yard in Hollywood and workers realized something
didn't smell right.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
They called the lapd.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
They open up the front trunk of the tesla and
there is a very highly decomposed body of a female
in that front trunk and they couldn't tell race or
eye color in that moment because she was so decomposed.
But the person at a tattoo reading sh be quiet
if you hold your finger up to your mouth, written
on the inside of her index finger, and that would
(02:54):
play a role in this whole thing. But then this
week they finally identified her as fifteen year olds Reevus
reported missing a year and a half ago from Lake
Elsin or Out in Riverside County. And ye neighbors say,
super sweet girl.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
This guy.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
She would come in buy things from his convenience store.
He says, really sweet.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Joe was quiet, nice, she come and if she wants
you by like it like a chips sold leave.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So her body was so decomposed. The La County Medical
Examiner has not been able to figure out a cause
of death, and that is important to know for the
lapd Our sources are saying that they've got to know
where are they going to go with this? That you know,
all signs would indicate it was murder, but what if
it was something else If they can't get a cause
of death. Did she overdose or have an accident and
(03:41):
somebody freaked out and it would still be a crime,
but improperly dump her body in that tessel, that'd be
very different than murdering somebody.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
And they don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
But the other thing our sources are telling us that's
one thing that they one avenue they need to figure out.
The other one is they want to know what this
relationship was that and how he knew her and what
they were doing together and what was going on that
she went missing as a thirteen year old girl and
he's an adult. And that is another obvious major problem
(04:11):
there that they want to figure out.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And then that tattoo.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
David has the same tattoo on the same right index
finger and We talked to our law enforcement analyst, Brad Garrett,
former FBI criminal profiler, and he said that tattoo is
something that clearly the LAPD is going to say he's
got it, she's got it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
We want to know more.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
One would need to get to the bottom of that
to see if in fact she had some sort of
relationship with him. That still doesn't mean that he harmed her,
but would give you a lot more information as to
circumstances of her having interactions with him and in particular
interactions with his vehicle.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
By the way, a bunch of celebrities do have that tattoo.
Now that's apparently a thing. Rihanna's got it that what
does it mean?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It means essentially be quiet?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I think.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I mean it's it's written when you hold your index
finger up to your mouth, it says like be quiet.
I'm sure there's a bigger explanation to it. But why
it's a thing apparently reanimated a thing, so it's not unique.
But David and this girl, thirteen year old girl at
fifteen when she died. It was found on both of them.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
But LAPD searched.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
The home in the Hollywood Hills, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills
area this week. We know they took out a computer,
a bunch of other things. And at this point, nobody's
been arrested, nobody's been charged, but it's very active going
into the weekend. Those toured eights are canceled. He's soon
to go international to go to Oslo and other places
(05:39):
on that tour. Some of those have already publicly been canceled.
The others as of right now, they're still selling tickets
for but who knows.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
All right, So we just heard this just came in
that ABC ten there were shots fired.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
There were up in Sacramento. Yeah, they've got three shots
went through a front window. ABC ten is a big
brick billing right along the freeway in near downtown Sacramento,
and there aren't a lot of windows. There are in
the front, but it's kind of on the front is
the backside when you go by on the freeway or
by the road that's along And it's a big brick
(06:13):
building with no windows.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And do you think that he says anything to do
with Kimmel.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
And Sacramento police say they don't know either that somebody
drove by their three through the same window.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I mean, it would appear targeted just based on that.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
It was.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
They were very close to one another. Nobody was hit.
He went into a lobby of the building of ABC ten.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But nobody was injured.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
And okay, nobody was injured. What time that happened? Recently? Then?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
About an hour and a half ago, ninety minutes ago?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Ah, bobo, all right, well maybe it was, you know,
God only knows. There's a lot of lunatic Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Mean yesterday there was a protest outside that building over Kimmel. Yeah,
the people were angry about Kim Will being taken off
the air, so protesters showed up that. Yeah, the atensions
are definitely high right now.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's unbelievable. Buddy, coming on and we'll talk with you soon.
You got to have a nice week, all right, thanks? Man,
all right, there he goes. What a story that is,
you know, to have this young girl who left home
at thirteen from Lake elsinor ends up in frunk so tragic,
you know, decomposing in this car. Man, it's it's you know,
(07:20):
I think everybody listening right now, you're lucky if craziness
doesn't come into your life, right you know, I mean,
you try to do everything right. You try to protect
your family, your home, you know, your future. You try
to you know, be a good person at work. But
tragedy can hit any family at any time.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
No, I mean I think that there's a randomness in
the chaos sort of to life generally. As you say,
you can try to do the right thing all the time,
and just that randomness in chaos is visited upon you.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You know it. Really it just sucks. That's part of
the human condition. Hey, Bellio, who was eliminated off of
Dancing with the Stars last night? Maybe these shots have
something to do with then possible that? Are you not? Oh? Yeah,
I thought you looked at Oh Angel looks at it? Angel.
You're a big fan of that Dancing with the Stars. Right, Well,
my mom is, Oh your mommy, And you've gone to
(08:10):
several of those tapings.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Right, I have because she loves it so much. We've
gone to maybe three. I think they'll play altogether.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, And what did they tell you when you're going
to the taping? What did they tell you to where?
Speaker 9 (08:22):
Oh, they tell you to you know, dress it up
a little, Yeah, dress it up.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
They dress it up, that's right. Yeah, cocktail attire. They
want everybody looking good in the crowd. All all right,
all right.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So we got a lot of news were following the
Charlie Kirk memorial services this Sunday. I was watching I
think it was Newsmax or Newsworld or How's your News.
And they're expecting two hundred and fifty to three hundred
and fifty thousand people going to that service, and so
they have seventy three thousand will beat the State Farmer
Stadium where the Cardinals play. And then I think they're
(08:57):
securing the stadium next door where the hockey that the
Coyotes used to play. Wow, and I think they're going
to fill that up as well. So he had I mean,
he led a real movement.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I mean I I think that the Turning Point USA,
I think is more responsible for the Trump victory than was,
for example, Joe Rogan or the Manisphere.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You know that's talked about.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
So Charlie Kirk, his legacy is that is that Turning
Point USA movement, which continues.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
No one went home for Dancing with the Stars this
week when it premiered. Wow, really double elimination next week, however,
that's the one to go to Angel the double elimination.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
That may explain the shots you think somebody want They
wanted somebody eliminated.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
They saw the dancing and they said, somebody's got to leave.
This show is unbelievable. All right, we're going to continue here.
It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson's here.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
We ordered pizza. Robin is leaving the show. She's been
with us for hell we are You've been here three years,
four years? You've been here rum three years? Yeah? Years,
three years? And where are you going? San Diego? Okay,
we're gonna talk you more about that. But I got
a theory because we always buy have a last meal
(10:12):
for the person leaving last Yeah, and I have a
theory that if we decided to pay you one hundred
dollars instead, you'd rather have the hundi than the pizza.
Is that true? Well?
Speaker 9 (10:22):
Yeah, since I lactose intolerant, yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Well, look I like to argue, I think, but don't
you enjoy sort of the pomp and circumstance of a
farewell party.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's not just the meal, it's like they but we
can still do the party without the meal. Oh I see, okay, yeah,
And I think Balio provides the meal and puts it
all together. So when the person leaving KFI Sue's KFI
doesn't mention Bellio, I see, it's just to say she's
got no beef with me. That's right, That's right, yeah, Bellio.
(10:52):
It is always looking to protect yourself. All right. Months
is here, Michael Monks, how you both?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Nice to see you.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Man.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Wait, I'm not leaving, am I not?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You're here? You never know in this business. I know
as we all know that witnessed you getting upset the
other day. I love how you how quickly you and
Krozer blow? I really do we have rough childhoods? Both?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh? Is that right? I think that's all it comes from.
What can we go into that room?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Quick?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Did your mom and dad?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I think Krozer will talk about his okay, she want
to talk about yours. I don't even know Krozer's childhood.
I don't mean to project my trauma to you. Crozer
had some challenges. Krozer was homeless when he moved out here.
I know he shared that. Yeah, he was living in
a tree and he wrote a book about it, and
that book comes out in mid October at our big
Morongo party. That'll be good. Yeah, self published. All right,
(11:37):
Monks is here obviously to talk about La back in
the convention business and what's going on.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
We've been talking about it for days and days leading
up to this vote, because they did decide today they're
going to bite the bullet. They're going to spend more
than two point sixty million dollarsay to expand the convention
center and make debt payments for the next thirty years
to the tune of at least.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Eighty million dollars maybe more. We already know how tight
their budget is. We already really help. Where's that money
coming from? They are This is the wheels of a
dream Conway. This is La at its finest.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
This is La dreaming about making it big in La.
The government itself showing up here homeless in their car
and saying I'm gonna roll the dice and I'm gonna
make it happen. You already heard the stories for the
listeners who have been listening all week that there have
been concerns that these annual debt payments are too much. Yes,
(12:33):
the project sounds great. Yes, the conventions that are does
need to be refurbished. Yes it sounds good, but we
can't afford this right now. I was really surprised by
the vote, to be honest with you, it ended up
being eleven to two.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Wow, man, those people are.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
One of the people who voted against it was a councilwoman,
Katie Yaroslavsky, who is the chairperson of the Budget Committee,
which really vetted this project.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Here's what she said today.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
This project is being forced into an Olympic driven deadline
that is unrealistic on its face.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
She's right.
Speaker 10 (13:03):
Over the next nine hundred and ten days, crews would
have to work six days a week every week, with
only twenty days afloat days and several more for bad
weather and other contingencies. She's right, that's approximately five weeks
of slack in one hundred and thirty week construction schedule.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
Even the smallest disruption supply chain delays, weather, labor shortages,
or the city's own approval process which we all know
what that is, will push us off schedule.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So she's basically saying there is no margin for air.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
And what was interesting, Tim, is that even the folks
who supported the project today recognize that. They said, this
is the hardest vote we've ever taken. This is extremely significant,
and otherwise we just want to make We want to
make this investment because downtown needs it. We need a
new revenue source, so we're going to spend money to
(13:57):
make money. Unice's her Nandez, councilwoman from the first District
representing Chinatown Westlake that area.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
She surprised me.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I thought she was going to oppose this because she
asked the most pointed questions in the budget committee, like
how much is this going to impact animal services, parks
and those sorts of things. Oh, there's no way she's
coming on board with this. Well, today she decided she
was going to vote in favor of it, but she
didn't want any applause from the union crowd that was
there saying we're looking forward to these jobs.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Here's what she said. I will not allow for.
Speaker 11 (14:25):
The convention to be a world class convention center while
the rest of the city looks like got them city.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I will not allow it.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
I'm voting yesterday, but trust and believe I'm not going
to stop fighting like hell fire, basic city services, fast
city services, clean streets, safe sidewalks, working street lights. We
cannot afford billion dollar ambitions for his business interests while
leaving people waiting a year for a street light to
get fixed.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So, yes, I'm betting on this project today.
Speaker 12 (14:57):
But I will hold I will hold every depart every leader,
and every budget cycle accountable to making sure the rest
of LA is not left behind the year after year.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
To her credit, she has asked the most pointed questions
during budget cycles about why so much money is spent
on these lawsuits? W was so much money goes to
the police department, we don't have the force at the
levels that we want, and why other public facing departments
lose out so frequently? But this seemed contradictory.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Today, all right, so obviously somebody greased all the eleven
of these.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Well, the downtown business interest and the unions showed up
in force because what they believe will happen is right
out of the gate. When they start construction on this
about thirteen thousand jobs will emerge. That's not small change.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
But won't they also, monks, won't they also have to
cancel a lot of upcoming events because the construction of
this convention center, as far as.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Things that are currently scheduled I don't know how that's
going to work. But there's a big event scheduled there
in twenty twenty eight called the Olympics. So they're doing
this thing for that two phases. Yes, yeah, So they're
going to pause it in March of twenty twenty eight.
They hope to finish in phase one. They're not going
to get it done. Well, you heard Councilman Yarslotsky say
as much.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
If they don't, there's some Olympic penalties associated with They're
supposed to be a limp in the Olympic events scheduled
and if you don't get you know, them hosted in
that venue, then they will have.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
To pay to relocate them. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Not only that, I'm glad you brought this up, Mark,
because another point that Katie Arslotsky made the councilman, we
are are going to be on the hook for these
this debt, but the Olympics aren't just coming here. If
somehow they do not turn a profit, the city itself
is on the hook for the first two hundred and
seventy million dollars.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
The state is then on the hook for the next
two hundred and seventy million dollars and then whatever beyond
that comes right back to the city. So if this
is an Olympic Games, let's say it loses a billion dollars, right,
that is seven hundred million dollars, the city would have
to come a lot and.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Cover on its own. All right, Well, move to La
enjoy that rising. It's not the County of La that's paying.
This is the city, say, city project, city project. So
I'm out. I'm in Burbank. I'm out. Man, You've got
a room for life.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I'm out, all right, Monks, thank you man, plus seven

three others.

Speaker 8 (20:48):
Would be very interesting coming home.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I used to spend Wednesdays with us. You would go
home late so you'd hang out with Bellio and Bellio
has said on many, many occasions that she considers you
her her little sister, and she absolutely loves you. And
she didn't say it about anybody because deep downside Belly
hates everybody.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's not even that deep down actually, it's sort of
right up on the surface.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, we are going to miss you around here, and

having a good time. And there's something that I don't know,
special and meaningful about sharing.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
A meal with you.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
See, Tim, it's not always about the money. Tim is
so much about the money. The reality is that it's
the camaraderie. It's what you're doing.

Now, that's what a hundred looks like And that's what
the pizza looks like. So you can tell that, hey, belly,
oh get out. It's a pretty good pitch. It's a
pretty good pitch. And we're not going to say where
we got the pizza from because we paid for it.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Keik.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Maya from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
We learned from Keana, who we call Keiki. She was
the producer of the Gary and Shannon Show. She's leaving
her last days today, we'll miss her. But we learned
she's obsessed with the movie Titanic. And I said to her,
I said, well, how old were you when Titanic came out?
You must have been very young, four or five six
years old. And she said, well, it's even better than that.
(25:36):
December nineteenth, nineteen ninety seven, is when Titanic came out.
That's the day Kek was born. Oh it's just insane.
How about that? How about that to make you feel old?
So what are you? Twenty nine?
Speaker 8 (25:49):
I'm gonna be twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Twenty eight? Okay, all right? Man oh man.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I explained to her that she missed the magical Mark
Thompson years. The late nineties were I was just it
was you were on fire. I was on fire as
a network show. I was on Fox eleven every night.
American Idol title American Idol started the little after that.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
It did aol. That's a good question. I want to
say it started around two thousand. Well, let's look it
up here. Let's see. Maybe not though, maybe you're right.
Maybe it was the late nineties. American Idol started in
two thousand and two. June eleventh, two thousand and two,
and you were the Voice of American Idol two thousand
(26:34):
and two, the start of American Idol. Yeah, and you
caught you.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
You have a pause in there that you call it
the Thompson Yeah, and it's Seacrest stole it?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What stole it? How does it go?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
You know last night they sang their hearts out? Tonight
one goes home, who stays? Who goes?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Find out next live on American Idol, The Live and
on American Idol. There's a pause there. I created it
and Seacrest stolen How many years were you with American
Idol sixteen seasons? I think it was. You know, when
that show was at its peak, it probably had fifty
(27:15):
million nightly viewers. It was huge or more. Everybody watched
that show. And the demand for tickets, I mean everybody
wanted tickets. All the celebrities wanted them.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I mean like Ben Stiller, Tom Hanks, they all wanted
you know these The finale was attended by all those
kinds of luminaries.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We only have about two minutes here, but don't you
have a quick story about tickets for American Idol.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
That was my friend whose mom? The thing that's and
you'll appreciate this, like with Carol Burnett, there were Dodgers
tickets or whatever. If somebody is really a fan of
the franchise, you feel really good if you give them tickets.
So this guy told me, and they better go. Yeah,
exactly right. And so this guy told me, my mom
is a super big fan of Idol. She follows everything,
(27:57):
and we're fans too. Is there any way that we
get tickets? And guys that the tickets are so tough,
blah blah blah. Let me do what I can. So
I went literally to the president of the network. I said, hey,
you know, I know this is tough. It's a last
minute ask, but if you could, I just need three
tickets to the I think it was the elimination where
they announced that somebody's going to be eliminated. And because
(28:19):
there's as you know, idle was the performance one night
and then the elimination the second night. Anyway, I got
the tickets. It was incredible. So I gave them in
the way you to understand, it was so hot, so
hard to get them. They send them off. They send
a messenger to this guy's house with instructions as to
you know, these are the tickets. They're not transferable. Come
(28:39):
the doors open at such and such a time. We
go live to the East coast at five o'clock. We
closed the doors at four thirty or whatever time it was.
You must be in your seats by four fifteen whatever.
And there's a whole routine. So they send them via messenger.
They get them.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I call them and said, yeah, we got them, blah
blah blah.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Rolls around for this elimination, and I get a call
from the president of the network's office saying, where are
your friends?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Oh no, it was like for something, And I said,
I don't know, let me let me text. I'm sure.
I'm sure they're there. I talked. I talked to them
that morning. The soll we're on our way. Thanks again.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
So I text them and I don't hear anything back.
Yeah again, because it because my reputation, you know. So
I'm texting, texting, teching fever sly. I hear nothing back.
And finally the secretary from the president's network of the
network called me and said, hey, it's like eight minutes
to air, and it looks really weird. There are three
(29:40):
seats open and the front and those were your seats.
Oh my god, we're going to have to give them
to seat fillers, to other people who are waiting, And
I said, I completely understand. I don't know what's happened.
I'm really really sorry. I'll find out what happened, but
please please give those tickets.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
So I'm texting, texting tech.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I hear nothing idle goes on, that episode arts and ends,
and then maybe two and a half hours later, I
get a text, going, oh, just getting these took mom
to the grove for lunch and didn't realize how the
time was getting away from us and didn't and missed
(30:17):
the taping. I mean, these are people who wall to wall,
we're talking about how much they love the show, looking
forward to going, but they lost track of the time
during lunch. And then I said, we why didn't you
respond to my text? He said, because they make you
check your phone when you go into idol, so our
phones are already checked and we just decided now we're
going to go. We got They've gotten there at one
o'clock in the afternoon. They got their hours before they
(30:38):
had to be checked their phones.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
It was like the perfect storm.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
And that's why you don't do anything nice for it.
Don't ever do anything nice for anyone that's such a
great brutal.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, and when you get a call from the President
network and he's pissed you, your whole world stops. Yeah,
really was.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
It was really a moment that those people were agitated,
like we've we've given you, we've roped off the very
best seats for you, and then your guest on the show.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It wor all right, but that's a great American Idol story.
