Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. At six oh five,
we've got our favorite doctor coming on, doctor Ray Kacheri.
That guy's great. He'll be on with us. You'll enjoy it,
you'll learn something. You'll be smarter after his appearance because
(00:21):
he's poor. Firefighters, they've got high levels of lead and
mercury after battling the LA fires, So that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And take care of the firefighters, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Pilot flying from lax to China forgot a small detail
so they'd turn around and land in San Francisco. The
detail that he forgot was his passport. Yeah, so two
hours into the flight over the Pacific, they had to
(00:55):
turn around and land in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
An embarrassing moment for the United Airlines who forgot to
pack one very important item their passport.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
United flight one ninety eight left lax On Saturday bound
for Shanghai, but two hours into the flight, the plane
had to turn around and divert to San Francisco. The
pilot to realize the mistake.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
How much time, Bellio, You're good at this? How much
time do you think that pilot spent going through his
bag looking for his passport before he said we got
to turn around. Do you think that was just a
cursorary ah once over or he's like, ah, ef elf,
where is it?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
My wife? I asked, did to pack that passport? Wah?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
How did that possibly happen? How do you possibly forget,
as a pilot your passport when you're flying to China.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
He must have felt like the worst person in the
world at that moment to make everyone's delay that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, and I guarantee you this happened, Stefus. You know,
as you're flying to China, this is coming in on
the port side of that plane, on the left side
of that plane almost the entire trip.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
At one point.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
If you're falling asleep and you wake up and the
suns all of a sudden, not in your eyes, but
it's coming through the windows on the right side of
the plane, that means you've turned around.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't know if they've told the passengers they've turned around,
And do they tell the passengers why they turned around?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I would think a lot of people, a lot of
the passengers be really pissed that the guy forgot his passport.
Everybody on that plane except the pilot had his passport.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I would have continued the flight.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I would have gotten there and I said, oh sorry
on my passport. They had locked him up, put him
on the next plane, and he'd fly He had to
fly home alone, back to the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Let him pay for it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Why so they land in San Francisco and then they
had to pay for everybody's meal while they found another
crew that didn't forget their passport.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
He that says it provided meal vouchers and compensation to
the more than two hundred and fifty passengers on board.
A new crew took over.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The two hundred and fifty people on this plane all
had to be inconvenienced, and it take an extra six
hours because this guy forgot his passport.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
To the more than two hundred and fifty passengers on board.
A new crew took over the flight, which took off
again a few hours later. It eventually landed in China
about six hours behind.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's yeah, she nailed it at the end there.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, great commentary. I love it. I love it news
commentary right, sort of hitting the nail on the head.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's like one memory, was hot here two days ago, Heather,
we but you have.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Air conditioning in your house, so hey.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
You did.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay, that's a cool deal.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But every time there's a news story, when they're doing
a story and it's you know, one hundred and two
degrees in the valley or whatever, they do the same
thing every time. Fine shade, keep the dogs in, wear
light clothing, you know, make sure the air conditioning's on.
It's like talking to foreheads, you know, it's like talking
to the dumbest people in the world.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
And I honestly, as somebody who used to work for
a local news station, a couple of the local news stations,
I never understood why we do those stories. Maybe it's
for the one person that doesn't know they need to
seek shelter during really hot days or drink water. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But those here's my argument against that. Those people aren't
watching the news. If you're that dumb, it's true, and
you can't figure out, you know, like if you're like,
let's say you're you know, you're dressed in a in
a black wool sweater and you have black wool pants on.
You have a black hat on and you got an
overcoat on. You're like, oh, man, I don't know why
(04:34):
I'm so hot. If you're that dumb that you have
to be told by the news anchor to get some
air conditioning in you, then you probably aren't watching the news.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
I mean, that's true, there is something to be said
for that. But I think it makes people in the news.
It makes specially broadcasters, feel like they're helping people, they're
doing their due diligence, you know, because then you've got
the person that says, well, nobody told me about it.
Nobody told me to take shelter or drink water when
it was so hot up.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, we used to run a PSA, a public service
announcement on this station that said, please don't empty your
toilet your blackwater into the ocean if you're voting.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
On this station.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So basically, what they're saying to people who listen to KFI,
don't s in the ocean. That's what they're telling people.
And they've already got that by now, they've got it all.
Rob Low is in the news. When we come back,
we'll talk about Rob Low, and he's blasting away at
LA leadership. He's one of the few voices that's speaking
up about LA's leadership. And maybe it's a trendsetter, maybe
(05:41):
it's a soothsayer. Maybe people can you know, can follow
along and follow his lead and get pissed. The only
time council members or mayors make any kind of changes
is when there's a huge, huge backlash. And I don't
see it in La. I don't see it at all.
They're a billion dollars in the hole. The fire department
(06:02):
is shy, fire stations and a bunch of firefighters. The
LA cops can't get anybody to join LAPD. The streets
are all banged up, the water mains no good, the
fire hydrants don't work. The city of LA is awful,
awful in a lot of aspects, and yet very few
(06:24):
people are pissed.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But Rob Low's pissed. When come back, we'll tell you why.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Rob Low, the actor is livid, pissed that the leadership
in Los Angeles is not keeping enough production here in
Los Angeles. Let's hear what Rob Low has to say.
Maybe more people can jump on this and make a difference.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
That's interesting that you shoot the floor there.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
It's cheaper to bring one hundred American people to Ireland
than to walk across the lot fox right past the
sound stages and do it there.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Crazy. Do you think if we shot parks right now,
we would be in Budapest. We would be we'd be
in Budapest, we would be.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's so weird.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
There's nothing shoots and one nothing nothing nothing.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I had at you know, my next show already done, scripts,
deals closed, and they said we're shooting this in New
York and I said, I'm not moving to New York
to do this.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And then how about that?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
How about being such a big actor when they say, hey,
we're will green light your project, but you got to
move to New York.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
He's like, no, I'm not going. That is a list.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
What a dream, dude, that's my dream? Conway a list attitude,
a top of the list, top of the heap. When
you can say I'm not going and they say okay, And.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I said I'm not moving to New York to do this,
and then it went away, the show's done, I'm not
doing it.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
How about that? You'd rather stay in l A than
not go? Than go to New York and do a show.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
So LA can't be that bad then, right.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Maybe his LA maybe, Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he has
a different version of LA than we do.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
It's like, no, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.
I'm not just too expensive.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Let's guess the word they bleeped out. Okay, it's like, no,
it's gotta be the S word. Is it the F
word or S word? It's like no, it's the S word. Yeah,
and everyone says it to themselves anyway. You know, when
I play it, you'll say it to yourself.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Wow, It's like no, and everybody in their car just
said the S word. I don't know why we got
to keep leaping that out. It's twenty twenty five, you know.
We got to compete with podcasts, with streamers, with movies
and in radio. There's certain things you can't stay. Still,
we should be able to say the S word.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
Are you advocating for swears?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I think so.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
I kind of agree. But here's the deal with some
people who are listening in their in their cars with
their kids, Like I listen to your show when I
pick up my daughter on the way home.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh that's cool. And so your daughter, she's.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Eleven, almost twelve, and you know, if it was real sweary, like,
we don't listen to a lot of stuff that's been
real sweary. So I think maybe in that respect you
to night lose some parents.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Okay, let me ask you a question though, how many
what you don't I'm not going to use your daughter's name.
I'll just say, you know, the little Heather, Okay, how
much as the little Heather heard the older Heather used
the word?
Speaker 8 (09:26):
I mean, probably not very much. I probably use it
more at work than I do at Hume.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You do.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh good for you.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You know, I'm actually proud of you because I do
the same thing. I still am uncomfortable swearing around my daughter,
and she's nineteen. Yes, I still don't like it.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
I feel like I'm trying to It's sort of that
do as I say, not as I do thing, And
I'm trying to set a good example. She can decide
when she's older how much she wants to swear, what
she wants to use.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
One of the bigger fights that we had, you know,
because you always have fights with the husband. The husband
wife always have these little battles and raising kid. It's
one of the not one of the bigger ones, but
one of one of the more consistent ones we had.
Is whenever my wife swore in front of my daughter,
I would ask her to stop doing that.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Oh really, so you were very much against swearing in
front of your kids, that's.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Right, and I still don't like it. I didn't swear
in front of my dad at all. I still to
the day my dad died, I hated swearing in front
of him. Sometimes I had to when I was telling
him a story or a joke, and you know, it
included you know, that kind of language. But I never
felt comfortable. You're still comfortable using those lang those were
(10:35):
my day.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
I don't either. I still don't feel comfortable. You know,
my mom told me, I'm going to date myself to hear.
But my mom told me growing up that people who
swear a lot are not educated because they can't think
of other words to see that. They're not smart enough
to come up with other words to say. Now that
being said, my mom also swears. She also wore a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Well, okay, I I think there's probably something to that.
But the smartest guy I ever met my life and
the funniest guy I ever met in my life was
a guy named Doug Steckler, and he swore more than anybody. Yeah,
he would light them up.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Man.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
I think there's a different vibe around swearing now than
there used to be. People embrace it more. It's not
as taboo. But I still think overall people if they're
listening in their cars, don't want to hear swearing on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That's why I when my daughter was in the car,
I could listen to Brian Reagan and because he did
a clean comedy act and all the kids loved it.
You know, if I was driving carpool or driving all
the kids to a birthday party, whatever I put on
Brian Reagan and those kids would laugh for you know,
the entire drive, the entire half hour.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
And Nate Bargate Burgetti Barghetti. I love Nate Burghasy, we
need him on your show.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, he's another one, you know, the guy I went
to the King game with a guy named Keith who
put that whole thing together with the with the donation
to Katarina's Club and supplied the seats. And he's a
great guy. He went to Las Vegas last weekend to
see Nate Bargatski in concert, and he said he's a
(12:07):
big fan of Nates. And he sat there for an
hour and a half in his concert, and not one
word of it was old material.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
It's all news, all new, and it's great. It's all new,
it's all relatable. I saw him when he was at
the Greek my husband I went Sigmon won.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
He was odd Lake here.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
And it was so funny, so relatable, and it was
not profane. But you don't notice it, right, you don't
notice it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And his delivery is unbelievable. It's the best.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Oh all right, let's get him on the show.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Let's do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Although I'd like to see him in concert, I don't
know what. I got to look up his his concert.
He is tour schedule, all right. Back to Rob Blow
blast thing away, here we go, Rob Blow, rob Looh.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm
not just too expensive to shoot here. There are no
tax credits, so like all those other places are offering
forty percent yeah, yeah, and then on top of that
there's other stuff that they do.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
And then that's not even talking about the UNI and stuff.
That's just tax economics of it all. So it's it's
it's it's criminal. What what what the California and LA
have let happens?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Criminal?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Does?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Everybody should be fired? Do you hear that?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
What?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
What what? Hewett? Rob Low had the same.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
So it's it's it's it's criminal.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
What what what the California and l A have let happens?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Criminal?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Everybody should be fired? How about that? Rob Low is
on the money bell?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Ye, let's see if we get Roblow in here, we
can blast off with with Roblow.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
It's it's criminal?
Speaker 7 (13:33):
What what what the California and l A have let happens?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Criminal?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Everybody should be fired? Wow, he's passed and he should be.
All these actors and actresses, they got to go to Budapest,
they gotta go to you know, South America, Atlanta, they
got to go to Canada. They all have to leave
their families and their kids and disrupt their lives to
go shoot somewhere because it's too expensive to shoot here.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
They all have to go somewhere else.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
And he's talking to we should say Adam Scott there
who starred in Parks and rec with him and also
is in that brand new show Severance, which is huge
right now on Apple TV. And Severance doesn't shoot here either,
which is it's the number one show on Apple TV.
Did not one bit of it shot here.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We shot a show I was a one of the
producers on a show called Boogie's Diner. Anybody anybody anybody
love that old classic, Yeah, Boogie's Diner. We shot in Canada,
and we use Canadian actors because they were giving us
I think it was a seventy five percent tax cut
if we shot in Canada, so they brought everybody into Toronto.
(14:36):
And the problem that we had in Toronto is that
used all Canadian actors, so we had to take certain
words out of the script. We had to take a
dollar out because they would say dueler, and there were
some other Canadian words that we like sorry, yeah, like yeah, sorry.
We had to take out a boot instead of about,
you know, like, well, what is this all a boot? Like,
oh no, I got to you gotta change that word.
(14:57):
They all say a boot and it's all it's about about.
And so you know, there's there's that little tiny speed bumps.
But the Canadians they offered a better deal, and everybody
had to leave their families, take the kids out of
school if they had kids, and fly up to Toronto,
fly back to Toronto to do the show because it
was too expensive to do in LA.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And it continues.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That that was thirty years ago and it's still happening today.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So Roblow is absolutely right.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
He is and he also remember last fall he was
a big supporter of Nathan Hawkman.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Remember, yeah, he made it. He definitely voice his concerns then.
And we haven't seen a lot of other big actors
like that La. I mean, Robblo's lived in La forever.
You know, he was the brat pack, that's right, And
we haven't heard a lot of other celebrity step forward
and say enough bring filming back to LA.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And they're trying to other you know, there's some tax
credits that are popping up, but it's just not enough.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Forty conwayshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
You're Ray Kacherry from Saint Joe's in Orange County coming
on at six o'clock. That's twenty two minutes of the
hour and he'll come on and talk about these poor
firefighters who are very brave to fight these fires, and
now they have high levels of lead and mercury arsenic
in their bodies battling these fires. So doctor Ray Kasherry
(16:22):
six bells. So if you've got to go anywhere, you've
got twenty one minutes to get back here.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
So come on back, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So we've got postal workers being attacked in Valley Village,
Sherman Oaks and Tarzana. We've got home invaders in Woodland
Hills twice over last month. We have bikes being stolen
in Pasadena, watches and phones being taken in West Hollywood.
So it almost doesn't matter where you go, they're going
to attack you. The one saving grace that we have
(16:53):
is that there aren't enough criminals to affect all of us.
They can't get all of our stuff from everybody, so
the chance of you being robbed are pretty slim. But
once somebody invades your home and ties you and your
family up, you can never feel safe in that home again.
No matter how much security, you'll never feel safe.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
In that home again.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And that's a big deal because home is where you
do feel safe. You know, you get home from work,
turn the TV on, watch a little Netflix, eat something
up to eat, and.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You feel like you're safe. You made it, you're home.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And when somebody comes in your home and robs you,
when it roughs you up, maybe your kid or your wife,
your husband, and takes your stuff, that rattles you to
the point where it's almost impossible to continue living there
because every time you hear a noise, you jump, you
get the yips, and it's not great.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So bike thefts in Pasadena, these guys break into a
bike store and they're gone.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They're gone with their bikes.
Speaker 11 (18:02):
Well, this is a very well known bike shop. You
can see some of the are great bikes that they
have set up here. Over the last several months, they've
been broken into just a handful of times. They've added
these bars for extra security.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Just a handful of times.
Speaker 11 (18:15):
Over the last several months, they've been broken into just
a handful of times.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Know then, what do they worry about.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's just a handful they've been broken into, just a
handful of times, just.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
A handful of times. They've added these bars for extra security.
So far, they're not sure if it's enough. A popular
passaging a bike shop now becoming a common target for thieves.
Speaker 12 (18:37):
We've been getting hit by burglaries constantly.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
Workers replacing a steel door pulled from its hinges. Tuesday morning,
surveillance video shows six burglars wearing hoodies and masks go
in and out of a story.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I will say this, it's remarkable how you can get friends.
I mean they have a crew of six doing this.
I have fifteen hundred contacts in my phone. I don't
think I can get one or two people to help
me go rob a bike store.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't think I could. I don't know that that
kind of rollodex.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Go in and out of a storage room filled with
customers bikes and carrying them away. They got loot in total,
estimated to be worth more than one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Wow, one hundred thousand dollars in bikes gone.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
How would you feel if somebody broke into your house?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Horrible?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I mean, I think we talked about that all the
time on KFI. Somebody broke into your home when you're home,
and you got to deal with that. That's a big deal.
It's huge.
Speaker 12 (19:35):
How would you feel if somebody broke into your house
so that it just feels like someone violent in our property.
Are right, This is where we live. We spend more
time here than we spent at home.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
So the crook's busted through this door, then ripped through
this window to unlock this to the storage unit, grabbed
eight bicycles, and we're out of here in just less
than a minute.
Speaker 12 (19:53):
This one today was unbelievable. We've never seen this before,
but you know who knows every time it's a new surprise.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Burgers have broken in here at least three times in
recent weeks, along with another bike shop in town twice.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Man oh Man Bike shops in Pasadena. You gotta watch out,
they're coming.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Pasadena police tell Fox eleven crooks are targeting high dollar
bikes to resell. How can you keep sustaining in these hits.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
We're trying.
Speaker 12 (20:19):
We're putting bars up, you know, getting extra security.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
This is the family owned business and they've been here
for so many years. You just hate to see this happen.
Police at the shop investigating.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
They took all the fingerprints, a couple of guys, tucks
and stuff there.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
Well, workers here hope the crooks are caught.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It's tough.
Speaker 12 (20:38):
There's you know, hard working people out there. Why are
you hurting the small mom and pop businesses that are
barely surviving these days?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Why do you hurt anybody? Why are you're staying from anybody?
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Authorities are checking nearby businesses for more possible surveillance video.
But if anyone knows anything, called police. We're putting live
tonight Matthew Seed or Fox eleven News.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
All right, the calls out there for anybody that knows anything.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Nameless video. But if anyone knows anything.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
If anyone knows anything.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Anyone knows anything.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
You're asked to drop the dime on these guys. If
you're somebody who knows something.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
But if anyone knows anything, or if.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You're anybody who knows anything.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
All right, now in West Hollywood, very safe area, I
believe of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
You're in trouble. Pickpockets, pickpocketers.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
We'll talk about that West Hollywood. They're taking your phones,
your jewelry, your watches, they're pickpocketing you.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Man, what's going on with this city? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
We're live on KFI AM six forty seventeen minutes away
from doctor Ray Cascherry talking about these firefighters with high
levels of lead and mercury in in the blood of
these men and women who are fighting the LA fires.
So if you're at a fire station, turn the radio
onto KFI. Maybe we'll be able to help you out
with doctor Ray Caschery. Or if you know a firefighter,
(21:55):
or if you are a firefighter, or if you've ever
met a firefighter, come to draw on KFI.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
In sixteen minutes.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
All right, we continue. You got.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Uncle t Bones the crime dog here. I'm warning everybody crime.
Even though LAPD and the mayor they had the big,
big press conference last week. I'm a big fan of cops.
They do a great job. But when they say crime
is down, and then we do story after story after
story after story on how crime is affecting everybody, I
(22:33):
am very skeptical. Whether it's bike thefts in Pasadena where
the store has been hit a couple of half a
dozen times, whether you're a postal worker in Valley Village,
Sherman Oaks or Tarzana you've been hit. Whether you own
a home in Woodland Hills you've been invaded twice over
the last month, and now watches and phones in West
(22:55):
Hollywood are disappearing with pick pocketers.
Speaker 13 (22:59):
Here in the West High Hollywood where we're live, there
are people who have been preyed on by pickpocketers as
they're just going out for a party. Now. La County
Sheriff's deputies say they are cracking down on this crime,
working with different bars and nightclubs.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Here we go bars and nightclubs in West Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Man, you gotta be careful.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Many people in West Hollywood say they're well aware of
the spike in cell phone thefts. Christopher Bowers had his
stolen years ago while partying with friends.
Speaker 14 (23:26):
I did, at the time tend to leave my phone
on the bar, like in.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Front of me.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Who does that?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Who just leaves their phone on the bar in front
of them if you're not using it, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Isn't it in your pocket?
Speaker 14 (23:38):
Phone on the bar like in front of me. And
then out of nowhere it disappeared, and I was like,
where's my phone?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
It's going on crazy.
Speaker 14 (23:46):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends that
were very protective of me.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But it is becoming really good. Oh man. I missed
that day that old time.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I haven't said that in a while. I haven't said
that now at least a week twenty five years.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
Years you had girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I had friends who were girls.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, you know, they
were all after me, but it turns out we were
just friends.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh yeah, Hey, guy can hit a couple of part
cars every once in a while.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Man. And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh, that sounds so great.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Stephch you're a single man, aren't you, Steph fush. That
is correct, So you've got to hook you up. But
it just could be your life, you know.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Stephsh you got it made.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But you got to use the fact that you're a
producer and a board up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Here to uh, you know, fly around a little bit.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I just feel like that's just like leading them on
because I'm not that cool. But I have a cool job.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Now, buddy, you got to you got to tell everybody
how great you are. I'll try I'll try harder than that, yeah,
or I'll do it for you, Okay, Yeah, I'll be
your wingman.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
That were very protective of me, because it.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
Is becoming really ridiculous, to the point where you know,
visitors from.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Around the world are being known for being known.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
West Holly was being known as the cell phone theft capital.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Oh that's horrible, the cell phone theft capital of the
world the South.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
We welcome to West Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
The cell phone theft capital of the world.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
There you go, ding do On.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
Public safety officials warned that pickpocketing and phone theft is
a growing problem in the city's nightlife scene. Elle County
Sheriff's Department says so far in twenty twenty five, thirty
two thirsts. Having reported last year they had nearly four
hundred cases. With summer and Pride season almost here, those
numbers are expected to rise, something former nightclub employee Cody
(26:02):
Mitchell witnessed often.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
You know, I didn't know it was a season Pride.
I thought it was Pride month. But Pride's a season now,
I didn't know that. Wow, So it's like winter fall,
Pride and summer.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Are you going to call it that?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That's not a bad idea winter spring, Pride fall, So no,
it'd be winter, spring Pride, summer.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Fall Pride would go before summer.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's right, yeah, Pride.
Speaker 14 (26:31):
Yeah, especially with stuff like that backpacks and they're out
of country and they'd be like, oh my god, my
passport is in there.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I'm like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 13 (26:37):
Catching thieves is tough and packed bars, clubs and large
outdoor events.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Okay, let me tell you a story about how difficult
it is to prosecute people in West Hollywood. I had
a friend of mine who later on in life came
out of the closet and a.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Gay guy. Okay, you can say that.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was heterosexual's whole life, and then he decided one
day he's going to stop lying to everybody and he's
going to come out of the closet. I think he
was thirty four when he did it, when he said,
I'm not heterosexual, I'm homosexual, and I'm going to come
out of the closet and enjoy my life. Well, if
you know anything about guys that do that, when they
(27:23):
come out of the closet, they quickly find the diamond
lane and they enjoy themselves. And they get into West Hollywood,
they go to the bars, they meet guys, they get rolling,
and they.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Are on fire for the first six months or so.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
They want to experience everything that they couldn't do or
they didn't feel like they could do over their life.
And so a friend of mine came out of the closet.
He would go to the Abbey, which is a very
well known establishment in West Hollywood, and he was dancing
with another guy. My buddy of mine was dancing with
(27:59):
another guy, and another guy came over and punched my
buddy in the face and knocked him out, knocked him
to the ground and knocked him out. So he went
to the police station to report that. And he went
to the police station. He made a report and the
officer said where did this happen? Where did you get
(28:20):
knocked out? And he said at the abbey. And he goes, oh, man,
I'm sorry that happened to you, but we're not going
to pursue this. He goes, what do you mean I
got knocked out by a guy. I can identify him.
He said, yeah, I know that, But we'll go to
the abbey, we'll look at their video, we'll talk to
twenty guys and nobody will say they saw anything. And
(28:45):
so I'm sorry that happened to you. Be more careful
next time. But it's not going to happen. And that's
just and that was it. There was no action taken,
you know, because these cops are tired of going into
bars and asking what happened and nobody saw anything.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
They all cover for each other.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Now, I'm not saying that's not bad, but he got
too He went to being into that lifestyle too quickly.
He didn't realize that when you dance with a guy,
that guy might be some other's guy, somebody else's guy,
and you're going to be careful. So it's a learning lesson.
I hope you learn, but we're not pursuing this. And
(29:29):
before you ask another guy to dance with you at
the abbey, ask if his boyfriend's around or his husband,
and get to know the place before you get knocked
out again.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
All right, Well there's a lesson for you there, kids.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
All right, when we come back, doctor Ray, because Sherry's
going to be on with us. That guy's great, and
he's going to be talking about these brave firemen and
fire women, these firefighters who now have high levels of
mercury and lead in fighting the Los Angeles fires. Oh
it's horrible, but won't come back, Doctor Ray KUSCHERI will
tell us what we can do. We're live on KFI
AM six forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now,
(30:08):
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI Am six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. At six oh five,
we've got our favorite doctor coming on, doctor Ray Kacheri.
That guy's great. He'll be on with us. You'll enjoy it,
you'll learn something. You'll be smarter after his appearance because
(00:21):
he's poor. Firefighters, they've got high levels of lead and
mercury after battling the LA fires, So that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And take care of the firefighters, all right.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Pilot flying from lax to China forgot a small detail
so they'd turn around and land in San Francisco. The
detail that he forgot was his passport. Yeah, so two
hours into the flight over the Pacific, they had to
(00:55):
turn around and land in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
An embarrassing moment for the United Airlines who forgot to
pack one very important item their passport.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
United flight one ninety eight left lax On Saturday bound
for Shanghai, but two hours into the flight, the plane
had to turn around and divert to San Francisco. The
pilot to realize the mistake.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
How much time, Bellio, You're good at this? How much
time do you think that pilot spent going through his
bag looking for his passport before he said we got
to turn around. Do you think that was just a
cursorary ah once over or he's like, ah, ef elf,
where is it?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
My wife? I asked, did to pack that passport? Wah?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
How did that possibly happen? How do you possibly forget,
as a pilot your passport when you're flying to China.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
He must have felt like the worst person in the
world at that moment to make everyone's delay that.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, and I guarantee you this happened, Stefus. You know,
as you're flying to China, this is coming in on
the port side of that plane, on the left side
of that plane almost the entire trip.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
At one point.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
If you're falling asleep and you wake up and the
suns all of a sudden, not in your eyes, but
it's coming through the windows on the right side of
the plane, that means you've turned around.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't know if they've told the passengers they've turned around,
And do they tell the passengers why they turned around?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I would think a lot of people, a lot of
the passengers be really pissed that the guy forgot his passport.
Everybody on that plane except the pilot had his passport.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I would have continued the flight.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I would have gotten there and I said, oh sorry
on my passport. They had locked him up, put him
on the next plane, and he'd fly He had to
fly home alone, back to the United States.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Let him pay for it.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Why so they land in San Francisco and then they
had to pay for everybody's meal while they found another
crew that didn't forget their passport.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
He that says it provided meal vouchers and compensation to
the more than two hundred and fifty passengers on board.
A new crew took over.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The two hundred and fifty people on this plane all
had to be inconvenienced, and it take an extra six
hours because this guy forgot his passport.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
To the more than two hundred and fifty passengers on board.
A new crew took over the flight, which took off
again a few hours later. It eventually landed in China
about six hours behind.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's yeah, she nailed it at the end there.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, great commentary. I love it. I love it news
commentary right, sort of hitting the nail on the head.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It's like one memory, was hot here two days ago, Heather,
we but you have.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Air conditioning in your house, so hey.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
You did.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Okay, that's a cool deal.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
But every time there's a news story, when they're doing
a story and it's you know, one hundred and two
degrees in the valley or whatever, they do the same
thing every time. Fine shade, keep the dogs in, wear
light clothing, you know, make sure the air conditioning's on.
It's like talking to foreheads, you know, it's like talking
to the dumbest people in the world.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
And I honestly, as somebody who used to work for
a local news station, a couple of the local news stations,
I never understood why we do those stories. Maybe it's
for the one person that doesn't know they need to
seek shelter during really hot days or drink water. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But those here's my argument against that. Those people aren't
watching the news. If you're that dumb, it's true, and
you can't figure out, you know, like if you're like,
let's say you're you know, you're dressed in a in
a black wool sweater and you have black wool pants on.
You have a black hat on and you got an
overcoat on. You're like, oh, man, I don't know why
(04:34):
I'm so hot. If you're that dumb that you have
to be told by the news anchor to get some
air conditioning in you, then you probably aren't watching the news.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
I mean, that's true, there is something to be said
for that. But I think it makes people in the news.
It makes specially broadcasters, feel like they're helping people, they're
doing their due diligence, you know, because then you've got
the person that says, well, nobody told me about it.
Nobody told me to take shelter or drink water when
it was so hot up.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, we used to run a PSA, a public service
announcement on this station that said, please don't empty your
toilet your blackwater into the ocean if you're voting.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
On this station.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So basically, what they're saying to people who listen to KFI,
don't s in the ocean. That's what they're telling people.
And they've already got that by now, they've got it all.
Rob Low is in the news. When we come back,
we'll talk about Rob Low, and he's blasting away at
LA leadership. He's one of the few voices that's speaking
up about LA's leadership. And maybe it's a trendsetter, maybe
(05:41):
it's a soothsayer. Maybe people can you know, can follow
along and follow his lead and get pissed. The only
time council members or mayors make any kind of changes
is when there's a huge, huge backlash. And I don't
see it in La. I don't see it at all.
They're a billion dollars in the hole. The fire department
(06:02):
is shy, fire stations and a bunch of firefighters. The
LA cops can't get anybody to join LAPD. The streets
are all banged up, the water mains no good, the
fire hydrants don't work. The city of LA is awful,
awful in a lot of aspects, and yet very few
(06:24):
people are pissed.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
But Rob Low's pissed. When come back, we'll tell you why.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Rob Low, the actor is livid, pissed that the leadership
in Los Angeles is not keeping enough production here in
Los Angeles. Let's hear what Rob Low has to say.
Maybe more people can jump on this and make a difference.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
That's interesting that you shoot the floor there.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
It's cheaper to bring one hundred American people to Ireland
than to walk across the lot fox right past the
sound stages and do it there.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Crazy. Do you think if we shot parks right now,
we would be in Budapest. We would be we'd be
in Budapest, we would be.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's so weird.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
There's nothing shoots and one nothing nothing nothing.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
I had at you know, my next show already done, scripts,
deals closed, and they said we're shooting this in New
York and I said, I'm not moving to New York
to do this.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
And then how about that?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
How about being such a big actor when they say, hey,
we're will green light your project, but you got to
move to New York.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
He's like, no, I'm not going. That is a list.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
What a dream, dude, that's my dream? Conway a list attitude,
a top of the list, top of the heap. When
you can say I'm not going and they say okay, And.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
I said I'm not moving to New York to do this,
and then it went away, the show's done, I'm not
doing it.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
How about that? You'd rather stay in l A than
not go? Than go to New York and do a show.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
So LA can't be that bad then, right.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Maybe his LA maybe, Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he has
a different version of LA than we do.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
It's like, no, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.
I'm not just too expensive.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Let's guess the word they bleeped out. Okay, it's like, no,
it's gotta be the S word. Is it the F
word or S word? It's like no, it's the S word. Yeah,
and everyone says it to themselves anyway. You know, when
I play it, you'll say it to yourself.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Wow, It's like no, and everybody in their car just
said the S word. I don't know why we got
to keep leaping that out. It's twenty twenty five, you know.
We got to compete with podcasts, with streamers, with movies
and in radio. There's certain things you can't stay. Still,
we should be able to say the S word.
Speaker 8 (08:47):
Are you advocating for swears?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I think so.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
I kind of agree. But here's the deal with some
people who are listening in their in their cars with
their kids, Like I listen to your show when I
pick up my daughter on the way home.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Oh that's cool. And so your daughter, she's.
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Eleven, almost twelve, and you know, if it was real sweary, like,
we don't listen to a lot of stuff that's been
real sweary. So I think maybe in that respect you
to night lose some parents.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Okay, let me ask you a question though, how many
what you don't I'm not going to use your daughter's name.
I'll just say, you know, the little Heather, Okay, how
much as the little Heather heard the older Heather used
the word?
Speaker 8 (09:26):
I mean, probably not very much. I probably use it
more at work than I do at Hume.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You do.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh good for you.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You know, I'm actually proud of you because I do
the same thing. I still am uncomfortable swearing around my daughter,
and she's nineteen. Yes, I still don't like it.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
I feel like I'm trying to It's sort of that
do as I say, not as I do thing, And
I'm trying to set a good example. She can decide
when she's older how much she wants to swear, what
she wants to use.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
One of the bigger fights that we had, you know,
because you always have fights with the husband. The husband
wife always have these little battles and raising kid. It's
one of the not one of the bigger ones, but
one of one of the more consistent ones we had.
Is whenever my wife swore in front of my daughter,
I would ask her to stop doing that.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Oh really, so you were very much against swearing in
front of your kids, that's.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Right, and I still don't like it. I didn't swear
in front of my dad at all. I still to
the day my dad died, I hated swearing in front
of him. Sometimes I had to when I was telling
him a story or a joke, and you know, it
included you know, that kind of language. But I never
felt comfortable. You're still comfortable using those lang those were
(10:35):
my day.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
I don't either. I still don't feel comfortable. You know,
my mom told me, I'm going to date myself to hear.
But my mom told me growing up that people who
swear a lot are not educated because they can't think
of other words to see that. They're not smart enough
to come up with other words to say. Now that
being said, my mom also swears. She also wore a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Well, okay, I I think there's probably something to that.
But the smartest guy I ever met my life and
the funniest guy I ever met in my life was
a guy named Doug Steckler, and he swore more than anybody. Yeah,
he would light them up.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Man.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
I think there's a different vibe around swearing now than
there used to be. People embrace it more. It's not
as taboo. But I still think overall people if they're
listening in their cars, don't want to hear swearing on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That's why I when my daughter was in the car,
I could listen to Brian Reagan and because he did
a clean comedy act and all the kids loved it.
You know, if I was driving carpool or driving all
the kids to a birthday party, whatever I put on
Brian Reagan and those kids would laugh for you know,
the entire drive, the entire half hour.
Speaker 10 (11:42):
And Nate Bargate Burgetti Barghetti. I love Nate Burghasy, we
need him on your show.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Yeah, he's another one, you know, the guy I went
to the King game with a guy named Keith who
put that whole thing together with the with the donation
to Katarina's Club and supplied the seats. And he's a
great guy. He went to Las Vegas last weekend to
see Nate Bargatski in concert, and he said he's a
(12:07):
big fan of Nates. And he sat there for an
hour and a half in his concert, and not one
word of it was old material.
Speaker 8 (12:14):
It's all news, all new, and it's great. It's all new,
it's all relatable. I saw him when he was at
the Greek my husband I went Sigmon won.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
He was odd Lake here.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
And it was so funny, so relatable, and it was
not profane. But you don't notice it, right, you don't
notice it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
And his delivery is unbelievable. It's the best.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
Oh all right, let's get him on the show.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Let's do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Although I'd like to see him in concert, I don't
know what. I got to look up his his concert.
He is tour schedule, all right. Back to Rob Blow
blast thing away, here we go, Rob Blow, rob Looh.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm
not just too expensive to shoot here. There are no
tax credits, so like all those other places are offering
forty percent yeah, yeah, and then on top of that
there's other stuff that they do.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
And then that's not even talking about the UNI and stuff.
That's just tax economics of it all. So it's it's
it's it's criminal. What what what the California and LA
have let happens?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Criminal?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Does?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Everybody should be fired? Do you hear that?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
What?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
What what? Hewett? Rob Low had the same.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
So it's it's it's it's criminal.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
What what what the California and l A have let happens?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Criminal?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Everybody should be fired? How about that? Rob Low is
on the money bell?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Ye, let's see if we get Roblow in here, we
can blast off with with Roblow.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
It's it's criminal?
Speaker 7 (13:33):
What what what the California and l A have let happens?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Criminal?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Everybody should be fired? Wow, he's passed and he should be.
All these actors and actresses, they got to go to Budapest,
they gotta go to you know, South America, Atlanta, they
got to go to Canada. They all have to leave
their families and their kids and disrupt their lives to
go shoot somewhere because it's too expensive to shoot here.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
They all have to go somewhere else.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
And he's talking to we should say Adam Scott there
who starred in Parks and rec with him and also
is in that brand new show Severance, which is huge
right now on Apple TV. And Severance doesn't shoot here either,
which is it's the number one show on Apple TV.
Did not one bit of it shot here.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
We shot a show I was a one of the
producers on a show called Boogie's Diner. Anybody anybody anybody
love that old classic, Yeah, Boogie's Diner. We shot in Canada,
and we use Canadian actors because they were giving us
I think it was a seventy five percent tax cut
if we shot in Canada, so they brought everybody into Toronto.
(14:36):
And the problem that we had in Toronto is that
used all Canadian actors, so we had to take certain
words out of the script. We had to take a
dollar out because they would say dueler, and there were
some other Canadian words that we like sorry, yeah, like yeah, sorry.
We had to take out a boot instead of about,
you know, like, well, what is this all a boot? Like,
oh no, I got to you gotta change that word.
(14:57):
They all say a boot and it's all it's about about.
And so you know, there's there's that little tiny speed bumps.
But the Canadians they offered a better deal, and everybody
had to leave their families, take the kids out of
school if they had kids, and fly up to Toronto,
fly back to Toronto to do the show because it
was too expensive to do in LA.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And it continues.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
That that was thirty years ago and it's still happening today.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So Roblow is absolutely right.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
He is and he also remember last fall he was
a big supporter of Nathan Hawkman.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Remember, yeah, he made it. He definitely voice his concerns then.
And we haven't seen a lot of other big actors
like that La. I mean, Robblo's lived in La forever.
You know, he was the brat pack, that's right, And
we haven't heard a lot of other celebrity step forward
and say enough bring filming back to LA.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And they're trying to other you know, there's some tax
credits that are popping up, but it's just not enough.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Forty conwayshow dot com.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
You're Ray Kacherry from Saint Joe's in Orange County coming
on at six o'clock. That's twenty two minutes of the
hour and he'll come on and talk about these poor
firefighters who are very brave to fight these fires, and
now they have high levels of lead and mercury arsenic
in their bodies battling these fires. So doctor Ray Kasherry
(16:22):
six bells. So if you've got to go anywhere, you've
got twenty one minutes to get back here.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
So come on back, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So we've got postal workers being attacked in Valley Village,
Sherman Oaks and Tarzana. We've got home invaders in Woodland
Hills twice over last month. We have bikes being stolen
in Pasadena, watches and phones being taken in West Hollywood.
So it almost doesn't matter where you go, they're going
to attack you. The one saving grace that we have
(16:53):
is that there aren't enough criminals to affect all of us.
They can't get all of our stuff from everybody, so
the chance of you being robbed are pretty slim. But
once somebody invades your home and ties you and your
family up, you can never feel safe in that home again.
No matter how much security, you'll never feel safe.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
In that home again.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And that's a big deal because home is where you
do feel safe. You know, you get home from work,
turn the TV on, watch a little Netflix, eat something
up to eat, and.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You feel like you're safe. You made it, you're home.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
And when somebody comes in your home and robs you,
when it roughs you up, maybe your kid or your wife,
your husband, and takes your stuff, that rattles you to
the point where it's almost impossible to continue living there
because every time you hear a noise, you jump, you
get the yips, and it's not great.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
All right.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So bike thefts in Pasadena, these guys break into a
bike store and they're gone.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
They're gone with their bikes.
Speaker 11 (18:02):
Well, this is a very well known bike shop. You
can see some of the are great bikes that they
have set up here. Over the last several months, they've
been broken into just a handful of times. They've added
these bars for extra security.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Just a handful of times.
Speaker 11 (18:15):
Over the last several months, they've been broken into just
a handful of times.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Know then, what do they worry about.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's just a handful they've been broken into, just a
handful of times, just.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
A handful of times. They've added these bars for extra security.
So far, they're not sure if it's enough. A popular
passaging a bike shop now becoming a common target for thieves.
Speaker 12 (18:37):
We've been getting hit by burglaries constantly.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
Workers replacing a steel door pulled from its hinges. Tuesday morning,
surveillance video shows six burglars wearing hoodies and masks go
in and out of a story.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I will say this, it's remarkable how you can get friends.
I mean they have a crew of six doing this.
I have fifteen hundred contacts in my phone. I don't
think I can get one or two people to help
me go rob a bike store.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I don't think I could. I don't know that that
kind of rollodex.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Go in and out of a storage room filled with
customers bikes and carrying them away. They got loot in total,
estimated to be worth more than one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Wow, one hundred thousand dollars in bikes gone.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
How would you feel if somebody broke into your house?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Horrible?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I mean, I think we talked about that all the
time on KFI. Somebody broke into your home when you're home,
and you got to deal with that. That's a big deal.
It's huge.
Speaker 12 (19:35):
How would you feel if somebody broke into your house
so that it just feels like someone violent in our property.
Are right, This is where we live. We spend more
time here than we spent at home.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
So the crook's busted through this door, then ripped through
this window to unlock this to the storage unit, grabbed
eight bicycles, and we're out of here in just less
than a minute.
Speaker 12 (19:53):
This one today was unbelievable. We've never seen this before,
but you know who knows every time it's a new surprise.
Speaker 11 (20:00):
Burgers have broken in here at least three times in
recent weeks, along with another bike shop in town twice.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Man oh Man Bike shops in Pasadena. You gotta watch out,
they're coming.
Speaker 11 (20:11):
Pasadena police tell Fox eleven crooks are targeting high dollar
bikes to resell. How can you keep sustaining in these hits.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
We're trying.
Speaker 12 (20:19):
We're putting bars up, you know, getting extra security.
Speaker 11 (20:23):
This is the family owned business and they've been here
for so many years. You just hate to see this happen.
Police at the shop investigating.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
They took all the fingerprints, a couple of guys, tucks
and stuff there.
Speaker 11 (20:35):
Well, workers here hope the crooks are caught.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
It's tough.
Speaker 12 (20:38):
There's you know, hard working people out there. Why are
you hurting the small mom and pop businesses that are
barely surviving these days?
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Why do you hurt anybody? Why are you're staying from anybody?
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Authorities are checking nearby businesses for more possible surveillance video.
But if anyone knows anything, called police. We're putting live
tonight Matthew Seed or Fox eleven News.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
All right, the calls out there for anybody that knows anything.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Nameless video. But if anyone knows anything.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
If anyone knows anything.
Speaker 11 (21:03):
Anyone knows anything.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
You're asked to drop the dime on these guys. If
you're somebody who knows something.
Speaker 11 (21:09):
But if anyone knows anything, or if.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You're anybody who knows anything.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
All right, now in West Hollywood, very safe area, I
believe of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
You're in trouble. Pickpockets, pickpocketers.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
We'll talk about that West Hollywood. They're taking your phones,
your jewelry, your watches, they're pickpocketing you.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Man, what's going on with this city? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
We're live on KFI AM six forty seventeen minutes away
from doctor Ray Cascherry talking about these firefighters with high
levels of lead and mercury in in the blood of
these men and women who are fighting the LA fires.
So if you're at a fire station, turn the radio
onto KFI. Maybe we'll be able to help you out
with doctor Ray Caschery. Or if you know a firefighter,
(21:55):
or if you are a firefighter, or if you've ever
met a firefighter, come to draw on KFI.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
In sixteen minutes.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
All right, we continue. You got.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Uncle t Bones the crime dog here. I'm warning everybody crime.
Even though LAPD and the mayor they had the big,
big press conference last week. I'm a big fan of cops.
They do a great job. But when they say crime
is down, and then we do story after story after
story after story on how crime is affecting everybody, I
(22:33):
am very skeptical. Whether it's bike thefts in Pasadena where
the store has been hit a couple of half a
dozen times, whether you're a postal worker in Valley Village,
Sherman Oaks or Tarzana you've been hit. Whether you own
a home in Woodland Hills you've been invaded twice over
the last month, and now watches and phones in West
(22:55):
Hollywood are disappearing with pick pocketers.
Speaker 13 (22:59):
Here in the West High Hollywood where we're live, there
are people who have been preyed on by pickpocketers as
they're just going out for a party. Now. La County
Sheriff's deputies say they are cracking down on this crime,
working with different bars and nightclubs.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Here we go bars and nightclubs in West Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Man, you gotta be careful.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Many people in West Hollywood say they're well aware of
the spike in cell phone thefts. Christopher Bowers had his
stolen years ago while partying with friends.
Speaker 14 (23:26):
I did, at the time tend to leave my phone
on the bar, like in.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Front of me.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Who does that?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Who just leaves their phone on the bar in front
of them if you're not using it, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Isn't it in your pocket?
Speaker 14 (23:38):
Phone on the bar like in front of me. And
then out of nowhere it disappeared, and I was like,
where's my phone?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
It's going on crazy.
Speaker 14 (23:46):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends that
were very protective of me.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
But it is becoming really good. Oh man. I missed
that day that old time.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I haven't said that in a while. I haven't said
that now at least a week twenty five years.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
Years you had girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I had friends who were girls.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, you know, they
were all after me, but it turns out we were
just friends.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh yeah, Hey, guy can hit a couple of part
cars every once in a while.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Man. And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh, that sounds so great.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Stephch you're a single man, aren't you, Steph fush. That
is correct, So you've got to hook you up. But
it just could be your life, you know.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
And I was with a few of my girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Stephsh you got it made.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But you got to use the fact that you're a
producer and a board up.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Here to uh, you know, fly around a little bit.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
I just feel like that's just like leading them on
because I'm not that cool. But I have a cool job.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Now, buddy, you got to you got to tell everybody
how great you are. I'll try I'll try harder than that, yeah,
or I'll do it for you, Okay, Yeah, I'll be
your wingman.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
That were very protective of me, because it.
Speaker 11 (25:16):
Is becoming really ridiculous, to the point where you know,
visitors from.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Around the world are being known for being known.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
West Holly was being known as the cell phone theft capital.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Of the world.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Oh that's horrible, the cell phone theft capital of the
world the South.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
We welcome to West Hollywood.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
The cell phone theft capital of the world.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
There you go, ding do On.
Speaker 13 (25:41):
Public safety officials warned that pickpocketing and phone theft is
a growing problem in the city's nightlife scene. Elle County
Sheriff's Department says so far in twenty twenty five, thirty
two thirsts. Having reported last year they had nearly four
hundred cases. With summer and Pride season almost here, those
numbers are expected to rise, something former nightclub employee Cody
(26:02):
Mitchell witnessed often.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
You know, I didn't know it was a season Pride.
I thought it was Pride month. But Pride's a season now,
I didn't know that. Wow, So it's like winter fall,
Pride and summer.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Are you going to call it that?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That's not a bad idea winter spring, Pride fall, So no,
it'd be winter, spring Pride, summer.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Fall Pride would go before summer.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's right, yeah, Pride.
Speaker 14 (26:31):
Yeah, especially with stuff like that backpacks and they're out
of country and they'd be like, oh my god, my
passport is in there.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I'm like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 13 (26:37):
Catching thieves is tough and packed bars, clubs and large
outdoor events.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Okay, let me tell you a story about how difficult
it is to prosecute people in West Hollywood. I had
a friend of mine who later on in life came
out of the closet and a.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Gay guy. Okay, you can say that.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He was heterosexual's whole life, and then he decided one
day he's going to stop lying to everybody and he's
going to come out of the closet. I think he
was thirty four when he did it, when he said,
I'm not heterosexual, I'm homosexual, and I'm going to come
out of the closet and enjoy my life. Well, if
you know anything about guys that do that, when they
(27:23):
come out of the closet, they quickly find the diamond
lane and they enjoy themselves. And they get into West Hollywood,
they go to the bars, they meet guys, they get rolling,
and they.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Are on fire for the first six months or so.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
They want to experience everything that they couldn't do or
they didn't feel like they could do over their life.
And so a friend of mine came out of the closet.
He would go to the Abbey, which is a very
well known establishment in West Hollywood, and he was dancing
with another guy. My buddy of mine was dancing with
(27:59):
another guy, and another guy came over and punched my
buddy in the face and knocked him out, knocked him
to the ground and knocked him out. So he went
to the police station to report that. And he went
to the police station. He made a report and the
officer said where did this happen? Where did you get
(28:20):
knocked out? And he said at the abbey. And he goes, oh, man,
I'm sorry that happened to you, but we're not going
to pursue this. He goes, what do you mean I
got knocked out by a guy. I can identify him.
He said, yeah, I know that, But we'll go to
the abbey, we'll look at their video, we'll talk to
twenty guys and nobody will say they saw anything. And
(28:45):
so I'm sorry that happened to you. Be more careful
next time. But it's not going to happen. And that's
just and that was it. There was no action taken,
you know, because these cops are tired of going into
bars and asking what happened and nobody saw anything.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
They all cover for each other.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Now, I'm not saying that's not bad, but he got
too He went to being into that lifestyle too quickly.
He didn't realize that when you dance with a guy,
that guy might be some other's guy, somebody else's guy,
and you're going to be careful. So it's a learning lesson.
I hope you learn, but we're not pursuing this. And
(29:29):
before you ask another guy to dance with you at
the abbey, ask if his boyfriend's around or his husband,
and get to know the place before you get knocked
out again.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
All right, Well there's a lesson for you there, kids.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
All right, when we come back, doctor Ray, because Sherry's
going to be on with us. That guy's great, and
he's going to be talking about these brave firemen and
fire women, these firefighters who now have high levels of
mercury and lead in fighting the Los Angeles fires. Oh
it's horrible, but won't come back, Doctor Ray KUSCHERI will
tell us what we can do. We're live on KFI
AM six forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now,
(30:08):
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
