But let's go iOS twenty six, one of Apple's biggest
design changes yet interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You don't have to upgrade right away.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Apple will keep security updates coming to iOS eighteen.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
For a while. Interesting. But if you do update, here
are some new features to try. Okay, here are the
new features.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And by the way, these some of these new features
are awesome, unbelievable features.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Here we go. We'll go through them slowly. In messages,
you can now create a pole.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Tap the plus sign next to the messages box, Select
poles and type in your options. Set a custom back
by tapping the person's name or group. Then tap backgrounds.
Just know they'll see it too if they've updated their software.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, those aren't two of them. But let's move on.
Call screening.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Let's okay, this one's good. Call screening. Call screening. This
one's a big one. Sure, so here listen to this.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Call screening lets you filter unknown callers. Go to settings, Apps,
then phone and select ask reason for calling before your
phone even rings, callers will have to say who they
are and why they're calling.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
How great is that?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, you're gonna have to say who you are and
why you're calling before my phone even ring.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Mister Conway is not available.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Ring.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Interesting, It is interesting. You'll see this info on your
lock screen. That's a great one. That's all right. That's
number one so far on this update.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Pull the syst listens to hold music for you and
alert you when someone picks up.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's great too so far. Yes, you don't have to
listen to hold music.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
They would.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I literally maybe in the last week. If you add
up all the hold and music, it might literally be
thirty five minutes. Really, yeah, it's offensive and when the
person comes on you can't be I go, well, you know,
I was just on hold for seven minutes and I
(04:20):
called back, I need to put you on a reefolder.
I was just on hold for seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's like I called my daughter's insurance company over the
weekend and they said, you can hold or we can
call you back. And they said, there right now, there
are two hundred and thirty two people in front of you.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You mean call me back. What at Christmas time?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It was thirty eight minutes now and they called me back.
That's look, that's pretty quick. Yeah, whatever, Exactly two hundred
and thirty two people in front of you. But that's
the best option. If you'll call me back, great, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Or maybe get more operators. Oh, there's that two possible too.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
All Right, I continue here with the iOS twenty six update.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You're no longer limited to a nine minute snooze. Did
you hear that?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You don't You're no longer you know, you no longer
have to have And by the way, who came up
with that? Why do we all have nine minutes snoozes?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I didn't realize it was nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's all almost everywhere it's a nine minute snooze. I
got five, you got five? Oh, I got nine on everything. Well,
mine's an all radio shack clock. Everything's nine nine, yours
is nine. Yeah, mine's nine for everything. Nine minutes. But
why isn't it ten? I mean I understand that. Why
are we doing nine?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
By the way, that's an automatic thing. Right when you
set the alarm you're building in, I'm going to snooze
it once, right, Yeah, if you have to be up
at six, you'll go five fifty because I know I'm
going to hit the snooze once and then I'll be
up at six.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I think you can I believe you can hit the
snooze for an hour. I think it'll give you, like, yeah,
I think you'll give you like hit mine.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
More than that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I think it'll give you six or seven snoozes. Then
then it says the last when it goes f it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And you're out.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But when you're planning it is my point nine minutes
you're building in that nine minutes that you're going to
snooze all one hundred years that you understand that, so
exactly everybody snooze.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Everybody knows that they're going to do one.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
In clock, you're no longer limited to a nine minute snooze.
Now you can choose anywhere from one to fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
For some extra.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Disease, how about that fifteen minutes you can and you
can snooze as many times as you want. Oh, at
my clock at home it's one hour. But on iOS
it's funny. On the phone, you can just keep.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Snoozing all day, all right, screw it, screw the meeting.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
You can also turn pictures into three D photos. Just

corner and move your phone around. It also works on
old pictures too.

you get interested in that?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It goes three D. You can have your photo can
now be three D.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Listen to that again. Now you can choose anywhere from
one to Okay, let's go here photo three DS.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
You can also turn pictures into three D photos. Just

corner and move your phone around.

Speaking of photos, there's a simple way to check for duplicates.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh that's what I need. I gotta get the duplicates
off my phone. I have a million photos and all
I got probably five hundred thousand duplicates.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Speaking of photos, there's a simple way to check for duplicates.
Go to photos, tap collections, and under utilities, tap duplicates.

rings very strong. So this is the new update now, Yes,
the iOS twenty six update.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Okay, yeah, so go gret that. All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It's Conway Thompson Ky if I am six, It's Conway
show Mark Thompson is here house, Come out, kid, I
gotta thanks somebody here. I My daughter got into a
car accident about a month ago, almost exactly a month ago.
And man, I didn't realize how many people you got
(08:55):
to call when your daughter gets into an accident. You
got to range for her car to get fixed, the
other car to get fixed. You got to call your
insurance company, the other person's insurance company. I'm texting the
woman who was very nice about everything. You know, she
just said, you know your daughter's young, and you know
people drive and they get in accidents when they're young.
And then I switched my daughter off my insurance just
(09:20):
in case anything happened. God forbid, knock on wood, there's
some wood. I didn't want her on my insurance. I
wanted her on her own. And if you know she
wiped out a bus full of people, they would wouldn't
come after my wife and I. They'd settled with my
daughter and.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Not help her out.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And I got so frustrated dealing with this that it
was driving me crazy, and I could feel my blood
boiling because I had constantly had to make calls and
then nobody was there, and then I get a different
person that didn't know anything about the case, and I
have to explain everything over and over again. I couldn't
get the video from the mall where it happened unless
a police offic officer got involved. So I went to
(10:01):
the police department, and the police said they don't get
involved unless there's an injury. And I was running into
one brick wall after another after another. So a guy
who listens to the show, a guy named Tim Moran,
who owns Moran Ford, Chevy and Hyundai dealer out in hemet.
He sent me a DM on our social media and
(10:23):
Bellio gave it to me. I called the guy and
he said, he goes. I can hear it your voice
that you're at your wits end. He said, I've been
dealing with insurance companies my home life. I'll take care
of everything. And I'm like, what, And we've never met before,
and I said, I said, but I got a problem
(10:44):
here because I got her new insurance with a new
company and it didn't include comping collision for her car.
And there was there was, you know, anywhere between eight
to ten thousand dollars worth of damage sure that I
was going to have to you know, pay for and
come out of pocket. And he said, no, these insurance
companies are looking, you know, you know, to minimize their loss.
(11:05):
He said, let me, I know these insurance companies. I
got the right guys. Let me take care of it.
And Man, after dealing with Tim Moran and those guys
down there, I wanted to move to Hemmett.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's where he is. Wow, And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Krozer, You're lucky you live out near the Inland Empire
or across the street from where the Inland Empire starts.
And I think that the Inland Empire is what the
Sanano Valley used to be in the nineteen seventies. People
take care of each other, people are are kind to
(11:40):
each other. The houses out there are big, the property
is big, and everybody's living a different life in the
Inland Empire than they were in La and Man, I
found it in everybody that I dealt with out there,
all of the three dealerships and then Tim's guy out
there in the collision department. Everybody is you feel like
(12:02):
they're a family member. You know, when you go to
the Inland Empire and you deal with a business, you
instantly feel like it's your uncle who owns the business,
or brother or dad. And Krozer, I am so jealous
that you live out there that I could strangle you.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
It's funny that you bring it up, because you know,
like having basically three kids now and all of them
have had accidents of some kind multiple I just like you.
And because of where I'm at, I'm fortunate that I
found a guy Route sixty six Auto repair. He's who
I go to now. And it's just like you say,
you know, he treats you right, He does a great job.
And when you're fortunate to find someone, you stick with him.
(12:42):
And there's definitely a seems to be a higher percentage
of guys that you know you can y, yeah, be
trustful of out there where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
And I was running into so much frustration and brick wall,
and I by wits end because you know, as the father,
like you Krozer in the house, it's your your job
to take care of it. You know, when you go
on vacation and the plane's delayed and you're you know,
overnight in a hotel. On the next planes I can
leave till the next day. It's your job to get
a hotel room, to get a rental car, to get
(13:11):
the luggage, and make sure everybody's fed.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It's your job.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And when you don't feel like you're doing it well enough,
you feel you get angry and nervous and you and
you can have a breakdown. And I was at that point,
and man, this guy Tim Moran came in and saved
my life.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Wild that he heard it in your voice, Yeah, yeah,
he did.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And I'll always always be indebted to this guy, and
so I'm going to try to work out something where
I gotta move out there.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'm moving to Hemmet.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh yeah, I'm buying a house in Hemmet, or condo
or apartment or mobile home or whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And I just got to be around people like that.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Sure, but you're not going to be working here anymore.
I'll be working at hem at Ford, at hem at Ford. Yeah,
Tim Moran, for sure, that makes sense because I know
you're not coming into I know you're not making that
drive every day.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I'm making the drive every day.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Are you. Okay? I got I'm betting against.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I got a real estate agent Tim turned me on to,
and I'm looking at houses in Hammett.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I think you're legitimately torn, but I think in the
end that's just too long a drive for you, even
in that.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Beautiful Okay, if I do move to Hammett, would you
come see the house?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Okay, absolutely, you better get some or some electricity in
your car.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
All Right, I'm moving.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But man, that is the best man I think I've
met in a long long time. All Right, we're live
on KIM six forty. It's Conway Thompson.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
KFI AM six forty is Conway show. Mark Thompson is here.
Come on, Tim and we have Fat Bear we Is
that Bear Weeks kind of wow?
Speaker 5 (14:54):
You vote for your favorite fat bear? I guess I
thought I saw something about that.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Find out what's going on Fat Bear Week? I guess
this is a new thing.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
It's the battle of the bears. He's Harry Bohemoth squaking
to Brooks Falls in Alaska's Catmi National Park to fatten
up for the winter. But as they chow down on salmon,
lots of it. Millions of viewers around the world are
tuning in via live stream to place their heavyweight picks
(15:22):
for the annual Fat Bear Week.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
What makes this year so special?
Speaker 10 (15:26):
This year we had more salmon than ever.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
All that salmon means bigger bears. The animals packing on
so much mass they had to hold the competition early
this year.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Competition itself is no lightweight usha. They're betting on the
weight of these bears. Is that what's going I'm unclear
on it.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Last year, more than a million votes were tallied from
one hundred countries. Naomi Boak says this year, all lives
are on the raining cham meet bear number one twenty
eight Grazer, the mama bear to remember.
Speaker 10 (15:57):
Wow, Grazer's fat this year, So she's competitive, Grazer.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I think you can only say this about bears. I
don't think this extends into a common courtesy if you
would do it in public.
Speaker 10 (16:08):
Grazer's fat this year, so she's competitive.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, yeah, you can't plug a woman's name into this
now appropriate.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Yeah, Grazer's fat this year, So she's competitive.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Razor looking for her third crown. He or she is
last year, weighing an estimated eight hundred pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Wow, eight hundred pound bear going after you.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Her chief rival number thirty two Chunk, who, in a
shocking twist worthy of Game of Thrones, fatally attacked Razor's
cub last year. But just last night justice for Grazer,
whose cub one twenty eight junior was crowned the queen
of the first ever Fat Bear Junior Competition.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I don't really question. I don't get what's going on here.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
They're they're taking I guess, you know, polls on what
bear is going to eat the most salmon and fatten up.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
So this year will grazer keep her glory. Well, chunk bite.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
This country will bet on anything that moves I get
everything that moves.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Well, chunk Bite back, or could a new name tip
the scales?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right, all right, the high speed rail is not
going in the right direction. It was originally thirty three
billion dollars and now it's I think one hundred and
twenty eight billion dollars. So this sort of got out
of hand. Let's find out if we're ever going to
finish the high speed rail here in California.
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Funding for a portion of California's high speed rail was
initially approved by voters back in two thousand and eight.
The project now significantly delayed, as we know, and significantly
more expensive. That initial price tag was thirty three billion dollars,
but according to its own estimates, it now could have
cost up to one hundred and twenty eight billion to
get it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Okay, how does that happen where something's thirty three billion
and now it's one twenty eight it's not even anywhere
near being completed, and they're not even working on most
of it.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's just such. This is such an abysmal failure.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
It's the word.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
It's just awful.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I think everyone agrees on that, except if you're working
on the on the rail.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's yeah, exactly, Yeah, that's the only.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Only guys that are thrilled. Ay are guys working on
it finished.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
Eighty seven billion of that would link Palmdale to Gilroy,
south of San Jose, but as it stands, that portion
would not be ready until twenty thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh god, I mean, it's just.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I both want to know about it and at the
same time it's just so repulsive what happened with it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Right, but with all that money, you could give every
homeless person in California a half million dollars.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, that's not I mean that wasn't that stuff wouldn't
be the plan for the money. But still your point
is well taken. I mean, you could have done so
much more of that money. You wouldn't be in the
hole you're in. It's just it's just horrible. It's been
an absolute wall to wall abysmal failure.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Before we take a break, let me do the math here.
So it's one hundred and twenty billion, right, one hundred
and one hundred and twenty billion dollars one hundred one
and twenty eight Okay, one hundred and twenty eight billion dollars.
And then what is the homeless population in California. I
know in Los Angeles it's it's high, it's you know,
(19:08):
what is it, sixty thousand people or so. So I'm
gonna do the math during the break and come back
and tell you how much money every single homeless person
in California could have gotten if we just gave them
the money instead of putting it into.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
This high speed like or high speed rail.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
It's not going to even be done or close to
being done until twenty thirty eight.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Well, and that's just the revised estimate. I mean they've
been revising instruments and they've been bleeding out money for years.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
It could be three hundred million, exactly billion, and.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
It could be it could be twenty seventy seventy eight.
I mean, you know, it's just it's an embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
How did this get away from us for this long?
And nobody nobody wants They say the majority of the
people who live in California still want it.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I don't know anybody and it still wants it.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, I mean not at this price, not not with
you know, it's a great idea on paper. There's a
high speed rail from here to San Francisco. But the
idea somehow that it would be involved to this extent
with this crazy the debt with the times. It's outrageous
and it's also as you know, the reasons there's it's corrupt, Yeah,
(20:15):
it's corrupt.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I rely on KFI.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's Conray Thompson more KFI AM six forty, It's Conway Show.
Mark Thompson is here and I did the math over
the very short commercial break that we're in. Do you
know the twenty four percent of the nation's homeless live
in California.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
If I were homeless, I definitely live in California. The
weather's great and what's not to.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Like twenty four percent. We have one out of every
four homeless people in America lives right here in California.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
So that's cool, right, people like that.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
If you took the there's one hundred and eighty seven
thousand homeless people in California.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
This is in relation to the amount of money we've
spent on the Bullet Train show far Yeah, right, So
that's where this started.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Right, So there's one hundred and eighty seven thousand homeless
people in California, which is is just criminal that we
have that many people that are wandering around every night
not knowing where they're sleeping.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So there's one hundred and eighty seven thousand homeless people
in California. The light the high speed rail so far,
they're estimate, there's estimates out there. It's going to cost
one hundred and twenty eight billion dollars. If you take
one hundred and twenty eight billion and you divide it
by one hundred and eighty seven thousand homeless people. Instead
of building the high speed rail, we could have given
(21:31):
every homeless person in California six hundred and ninety thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's just insanity.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I'd rather do that, of course.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
You know, well the real fast more homeless though in California. Yeah,
you think if you're going to get six hundred k
if you come out. The real thing is that, you know,
we've got a sixty billion dollar deficit. You could you know,
what is that four times the deficit or whatever it was. Yeah,
you know, whatever the number was it was, you could
you know, you wouldn't have wipe it away.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
But you know, we shouldn't have a deficit.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
There was thirty billion dollars that was stolen from from
the Unemployment Department during COVID, right, and then there's another
twenty five billion dollars that they don't know where it
is when it comes to homelessness, and I think that
that's you know, that's fifty five billion right there.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
People talk about and I think they're right to talk
about the homeless industrial complex.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, well, it's a hinter scam.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I mean, there's a it really And I feel the
same way about high speed rail. I think there's there's
a scam there, and it's uh, it's outrageous and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It It really is amazing that we keep letting it
go that as far as it hans, you know, where
the public doesn't step in and demand that they either
you know, lower the price or get going or shut
it down.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
But I don't know how you shut it down.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
That's the problem. We are kind of we're a little
bit pregnant, you know. I mean, you just can't you know,
back out of it. It's it's really and all these overpassions,
but all the rail is already there's already there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
If you drive through the central Valley. There are you know,
a couple hundred miles of high speed rail that are
that are sitting.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
There it, I mean, the autumn.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
It ought to be, you know, legally actionable, how bad
it's been, it really ought to be.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And I think both sides agreed, yeah on that.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
There's a we didn't get this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
There's a robot that went nuts in West Hollywood and
a guy with cerebral polesy couldn't get by him, and
now he's raising his think over the inability to get
past this. And we've all seen him in West Hollywood.
It's like a little R two D two that rolls
around the stow. Yeah, of course dropping food off. Yea,
(23:40):
And I walked by one. It's a kind of a
cool thing.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah. I don't mess with it. I just yeah, it is.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
I always feel bad for I think it gets messed
with a lot, so I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I don't like to mess with it.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I saw a guy push one over.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, jack of people are such jerks.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
He was on his wheels, you know, with his big eyes,
going to deliver a hamburger, and a guy pushed him.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Over sweet little delivery gosh, and now he's on his side,
he can't get back up and get a SpongeBob looking guy.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, what a story. This is.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
As you said, the video has gone viral with tens
of millions of views on social media, and now the
man at the center of the storm tells me he's
getting all kinds of feedback from people accusing him of
staging the whole scene as some kind of money grab,
to those who strongly support him, saying they too are
(24:28):
concerned about rogue robot. You might call it sidewalk rage.
Captured on camera, a man in a mobility scooter tries
to pass one of those food delivery robots, but the
supposedly mindless machine will not allow such a takeover, slowing down, swerving,
(24:52):
break checking, and slamming to a halt.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I could get by the robot. This isn't supposed to happen,
is it.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
One would expect these automated meals on wheels to be harmless, convenient,
and would you believe many people actually consider them cute?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, they are pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Yes, this recently happened in Hollywood, and we believe all involved.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Servant. Oh, the robot ran into a guy.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Honestly, I just thought, Okay, is this how the Terminator
movie started?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Mark Cheney is talking about machines taking over the world.
The West Hollywood based therapist has cerebral palsy, a neurological
disorder which affects balance, coordination, and movement. He uses crutches
or the scooter to get around.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
And he couldn't get by this robot.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
Before I started filming that, I was further down the
street and it had been acting erratically anyway.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
And almost hit me.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
So I stopped, let it get ahead of me and
decided to start recording. Because crazy day in West Taller.

you putting it up on YouTube that we've got a
lot of action on that. And you are constantly working
on social media twenty four hours a day.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
That is true. You are out there sharing, you're pumping it.

is already here. And you know, usually when these updates happen,
you don't really notice anything new on your phone.
Speaker 3 (01:58):

But let's go iOS twenty six, one of Apple's biggest
design changes yet interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You don't have to upgrade right away.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Apple will keep security updates coming to iOS eighteen.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
For a while. Interesting. But if you do update, here
are some new features to try. Okay, here are the
new features.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And by the way, these some of these new features
are awesome, unbelievable features.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Here we go. We'll go through them slowly. In messages,
you can now create a pole.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Tap the plus sign next to the messages box, Select
poles and type in your options. Set a custom back
by tapping the person's name or group. Then tap backgrounds.
Just know they'll see it too if they've updated their software.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Okay, those aren't two of them. But let's move on.
Call screening.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Let's okay, this one's good. Call screening. Call screening. This
one's a big one. Sure, so here listen to this.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Call screening lets you filter unknown callers. Go to settings, Apps,
then phone and select ask reason for calling before your
phone even rings, callers will have to say who they
are and why they're calling.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
How great is that?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, you're gonna have to say who you are and
why you're calling before my phone even ring.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Mister Conway is not available.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Ring.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Interesting, It is interesting. You'll see this info on your
lock screen. That's a great one. That's all right. That's
number one so far on this update.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Pull the syst listens to hold music for you and
alert you when someone picks up.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's great too so far. Yes, you don't have to
listen to hold music.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
They would.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
I literally maybe in the last week. If you add
up all the hold and music, it might literally be
thirty five minutes. Really, yeah, it's offensive and when the
person comes on you can't be I go, well, you know,
I was just on hold for seven minutes and I
(04:20):
called back, I need to put you on a reefolder.
I was just on hold for seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's like I called my daughter's insurance company over the
weekend and they said, you can hold or we can
call you back. And they said, there right now, there
are two hundred and thirty two people in front of you.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
You mean call me back. What at Christmas time?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It was thirty eight minutes now and they called me back.
That's look, that's pretty quick. Yeah, whatever, Exactly two hundred
and thirty two people in front of you. But that's
the best option. If you'll call me back, great, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Or maybe get more operators. Oh, there's that two possible too.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
All Right, I continue here with the iOS twenty six update.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You're no longer limited to a nine minute snooze. Did
you hear that?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You don't You're no longer you know, you no longer
have to have And by the way, who came up
with that? Why do we all have nine minutes snoozes?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I didn't realize it was nine minutes.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's all almost everywhere it's a nine minute snooze. I
got five, you got five? Oh, I got nine on everything. Well,
mine's an all radio shack clock. Everything's nine nine, yours
is nine. Yeah, mine's nine for everything. Nine minutes. But
why isn't it ten? I mean I understand that. Why
are we doing nine?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
By the way, that's an automatic thing. Right when you
set the alarm you're building in, I'm going to snooze
it once, right, Yeah, if you have to be up
at six, you'll go five fifty because I know I'm
going to hit the snooze once and then I'll be
up at six.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I think you can I believe you can hit the
snooze for an hour. I think it'll give you, like, yeah,
I think you'll give you like hit mine.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
More than that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I think it'll give you six or seven snoozes. Then
then it says the last when it goes f it.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And you're out.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But when you're planning it is my point nine minutes
you're building in that nine minutes that you're going to
snooze all one hundred years that you understand that, so
exactly everybody snooze.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Everybody knows that they're going to do one.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
In clock, you're no longer limited to a nine minute snooze.
Now you can choose anywhere from one to fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
For some extra.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Disease, how about that fifteen minutes you can and you
can snooze as many times as you want. Oh, at
my clock at home it's one hour. But on iOS
it's funny. On the phone, you can just keep.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Snoozing all day, all right, screw it, screw the meeting.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
You can also turn pictures into three D photos. Just

corner and move your phone around. It also works on
old pictures too.

Oh that's what I need. I gotta get the duplicates
off my phone. I have a million photos and all
I got probably five hundred thousand duplicates.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Speaking of photos, there's a simple way to check for duplicates.

the iOS twenty six update.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Okay, yeah, so go gret that. All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
It's Conway Thompson Ky if I am six, It's Conway
show Mark Thompson is here house, Come out, kid, I
gotta thanks somebody here. I My daughter got into a
car accident about a month ago, almost exactly a month ago.
And man, I didn't realize how many people you got
(08:55):
to call when your daughter gets into an accident. You
got to range for her car to get fixed, the
other car to get fixed. You got to call your
insurance company, the other person's insurance company. I'm texting the
woman who was very nice about everything. You know, she
just said, you know your daughter's young, and you know
people drive and they get in accidents when they're young.
And then I switched my daughter off my insurance just
(09:20):
in case anything happened. God forbid, knock on wood, there's
some wood. I didn't want her on my insurance. I
wanted her on her own. And if you know she
wiped out a bus full of people, they would wouldn't
come after my wife and I. They'd settled with my
daughter and.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Not help her out.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And I got so frustrated dealing with this that it
was driving me crazy, and I could feel my blood
boiling because I had constantly had to make calls and
then nobody was there, and then I get a different
person that didn't know anything about the case, and I
have to explain everything over and over again. I couldn't
get the video from the mall where it happened unless
a police offic officer got involved. So I went to
(10:01):
the police department, and the police said they don't get
involved unless there's an injury. And I was running into
one brick wall after another after another. So a guy
who listens to the show, a guy named Tim Moran,
who owns Moran Ford, Chevy and Hyundai dealer out in hemet.
He sent me a DM on our social media and
(10:23):
Bellio gave it to me. I called the guy and
he said, he goes. I can hear it your voice
that you're at your wits end. He said, I've been
dealing with insurance companies my home life. I'll take care
of everything. And I'm like, what, And we've never met before,
and I said, I said, but I got a problem
(10:44):
here because I got her new insurance with a new
company and it didn't include comping collision for her car.
And there was there was, you know, anywhere between eight
to ten thousand dollars worth of damage sure that I
was going to have to you know, pay for and
come out of pocket. And he said, no, these insurance
companies are looking, you know, you know, to minimize their loss.
(11:05):
He said, let me, I know these insurance companies. I
got the right guys. Let me take care of it.
And Man, after dealing with Tim Moran and those guys
down there, I wanted to move to Hemmett.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's where he is. Wow, And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Krozer, You're lucky you live out near the Inland Empire
or across the street from where the Inland Empire starts.
And I think that the Inland Empire is what the
Sanano Valley used to be in the nineteen seventies. People
take care of each other, people are are kind to
(11:40):
each other. The houses out there are big, the property
is big, and everybody's living a different life in the
Inland Empire than they were in La and Man, I
found it in everybody that I dealt with out there,
all of the three dealerships and then Tim's guy out
there in the collision department. Everybody is you feel like
(12:02):
they're a family member. You know, when you go to
the Inland Empire and you deal with a business, you
instantly feel like it's your uncle who owns the business,
or brother or dad. And Krozer, I am so jealous
that you live out there that I could strangle you.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
It's funny that you bring it up, because you know,
like having basically three kids now and all of them
have had accidents of some kind multiple I just like you.
And because of where I'm at, I'm fortunate that I
found a guy Route sixty six Auto repair. He's who
I go to now. And it's just like you say,
you know, he treats you right, He does a great job.
And when you're fortunate to find someone, you stick with him.
(12:42):
And there's definitely a seems to be a higher percentage
of guys that you know you can y, yeah, be
trustful of out there where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
And I was running into so much frustration and brick wall,
and I by wits end because you know, as the father,
like you Krozer in the house, it's your your job
to take care of it. You know, when you go
on vacation and the plane's delayed and you're you know,
overnight in a hotel. On the next planes I can
leave till the next day. It's your job to get
a hotel room, to get a rental car, to get
(13:11):
the luggage, and make sure everybody's fed.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It's your job.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And when you don't feel like you're doing it well enough,
you feel you get angry and nervous and you and
you can have a breakdown. And I was at that point,
and man, this guy Tim Moran came in and saved
my life.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Wild that he heard it in your voice, Yeah, yeah,
he did.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And I'll always always be indebted to this guy, and
so I'm going to try to work out something where
I gotta move out there.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'm moving to Hemmet.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh yeah, I'm buying a house in Hemmet, or condo
or apartment or mobile home or whatever.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And I just got to be around people like that.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Sure, but you're not going to be working here anymore.
I'll be working at hem at Ford, at hem at Ford. Yeah,
Tim Moran, for sure, that makes sense because I know
you're not coming into I know you're not making that
drive every day.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I'm making the drive every day.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Are you. Okay? I got I'm betting against.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I got a real estate agent Tim turned me on to,
and I'm looking at houses in Hammett.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I think you're legitimately torn, but I think in the
end that's just too long a drive for you, even
in that.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Beautiful Okay, if I do move to Hammett, would you
come see the house?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Okay, absolutely, you better get some or some electricity in
your car.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
All Right, I'm moving.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
But man, that is the best man I think I've
met in a long long time. All Right, we're live
on KIM six forty. It's Conway Thompson.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
KFI AM six forty is Conway show. Mark Thompson is here.
Come on, Tim and we have Fat Bear we Is
that Bear Weeks kind of wow?
Speaker 5 (14:54):
You vote for your favorite fat bear? I guess I
thought I saw something about that.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Find out what's going on Fat Bear Week? I guess
this is a new thing.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
It's the battle of the bears. He's Harry Bohemoth squaking
to Brooks Falls in Alaska's Catmi National Park to fatten
up for the winter. But as they chow down on salmon,
lots of it. Millions of viewers around the world are
tuning in via live stream to place their heavyweight picks
(15:22):
for the annual Fat Bear Week.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
What makes this year so special?
Speaker 10 (15:26):
This year we had more salmon than ever.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
All that salmon means bigger bears. The animals packing on
so much mass they had to hold the competition early
this year.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Competition itself is no lightweight usha. They're betting on the
weight of these bears. Is that what's going I'm unclear
on it.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
Last year, more than a million votes were tallied from
one hundred countries. Naomi Boak says this year, all lives
are on the raining cham meet bear number one twenty
eight Grazer, the mama bear to remember.
Speaker 10 (15:57):
Wow, Grazer's fat this year, So she's competitive, Grazer.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I think you can only say this about bears. I
don't think this extends into a common courtesy if you
would do it in public.
Speaker 10 (16:08):
Grazer's fat this year, so she's competitive.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, yeah, you can't plug a woman's name into this
now appropriate.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
Yeah, Grazer's fat this year, So she's competitive.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Razor looking for her third crown. He or she is
last year, weighing an estimated eight hundred pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Wow, eight hundred pound bear going after you.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Her chief rival number thirty two Chunk, who, in a
shocking twist worthy of Game of Thrones, fatally attacked Razor's
cub last year. But just last night justice for Grazer,
whose cub one twenty eight junior was crowned the queen
of the first ever Fat Bear Junior Competition.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I don't really question. I don't get what's going on here.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
They're they're taking I guess, you know, polls on what
bear is going to eat the most salmon and fatten up.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
So this year will grazer keep her glory. Well, chunk bite.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
This country will bet on anything that moves I get
everything that moves.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
Well, chunk Bite back, or could a new name tip
the scales?
Speaker 1 (17:14):
All right, all right, the high speed rail is not
going in the right direction. It was originally thirty three
billion dollars and now it's I think one hundred and
twenty eight billion dollars. So this sort of got out
of hand. Let's find out if we're ever going to
finish the high speed rail here in California.
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Funding for a portion of California's high speed rail was
initially approved by voters back in two thousand and eight.
The project now significantly delayed, as we know, and significantly
more expensive. That initial price tag was thirty three billion dollars,
but according to its own estimates, it now could have
cost up to one hundred and twenty eight billion to
get it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Okay, how does that happen where something's thirty three billion
and now it's one twenty eight it's not even anywhere
near being completed, and they're not even working on most
of it.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's just such. This is such an abysmal failure.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
It's the word.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
It's just awful.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I think everyone agrees on that, except if you're working
on the on the rail.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's yeah, exactly, Yeah, that's the only.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Only guys that are thrilled. Ay are guys working on
it finished.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
Eighty seven billion of that would link Palmdale to Gilroy,
south of San Jose, but as it stands, that portion
would not be ready until twenty thirty eight.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh god, I mean, it's just.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
I both want to know about it and at the
same time it's just so repulsive what happened with it.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Right, but with all that money, you could give every
homeless person in California a half million dollars.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, that's not I mean that wasn't that stuff wouldn't
be the plan for the money. But still your point
is well taken. I mean, you could have done so
much more of that money. You wouldn't be in the
hole you're in. It's just it's just horrible. It's been
an absolute wall to wall abysmal failure.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Before we take a break, let me do the math here.
So it's one hundred and twenty billion, right, one hundred
and one hundred and twenty billion dollars one hundred one
and twenty eight Okay, one hundred and twenty eight billion dollars.
And then what is the homeless population in California. I
know in Los Angeles it's it's high, it's you know,
(19:08):
what is it, sixty thousand people or so. So I'm
gonna do the math during the break and come back
and tell you how much money every single homeless person
in California could have gotten if we just gave them
the money instead of putting it into.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
This high speed like or high speed rail.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
It's not going to even be done or close to
being done until twenty thirty eight.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
Well, and that's just the revised estimate. I mean they've
been revising instruments and they've been bleeding out money for years.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
It could be three hundred million, exactly billion, and.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
It could be it could be twenty seventy seventy eight.
I mean, you know, it's just it's an embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
How did this get away from us for this long?
And nobody nobody wants They say the majority of the
people who live in California still want it.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I don't know anybody and it still wants it.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, I mean not at this price, not not with
you know, it's a great idea on paper. There's a
high speed rail from here to San Francisco. But the
idea somehow that it would be involved to this extent
with this crazy the debt with the times. It's outrageous
and it's also as you know, the reasons there's it's corrupt, Yeah,
(20:15):
it's corrupt.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
I rely on KFI.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's Conray Thompson more KFI AM six forty, It's Conway Show.
Mark Thompson is here and I did the math over
the very short commercial break that we're in. Do you
know the twenty four percent of the nation's homeless live
in California.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
If I were homeless, I definitely live in California. The
weather's great and what's not to.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Like twenty four percent. We have one out of every
four homeless people in America lives right here in California.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
So that's cool, right, people like that.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
If you took the there's one hundred and eighty seven
thousand homeless people in California.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
This is in relation to the amount of money we've
spent on the Bullet Train show far Yeah, right, So
that's where this started.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Right, So there's one hundred and eighty seven thousand homeless
people in California, which is is just criminal that we
have that many people that are wandering around every night
not knowing where they're sleeping.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So there's one hundred and eighty seven thousand homeless people
in California. The light the high speed rail so far,
they're estimate, there's estimates out there. It's going to cost
one hundred and twenty eight billion dollars. If you take
one hundred and twenty eight billion and you divide it
by one hundred and eighty seven thousand homeless people. Instead
of building the high speed rail, we could have given
(21:31):
every homeless person in California six hundred and ninety thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
That's just insanity.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I'd rather do that, of course.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
You know, well the real fast more homeless though in California. Yeah,
you think if you're going to get six hundred k
if you come out. The real thing is that, you know,
we've got a sixty billion dollar deficit. You could you know,
what is that four times the deficit or whatever it was. Yeah,
you know, whatever the number was it was, you could
you know, you wouldn't have wipe it away.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
But you know, we shouldn't have a deficit.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
There was thirty billion dollars that was stolen from from
the Unemployment Department during COVID, right, and then there's another
twenty five billion dollars that they don't know where it
is when it comes to homelessness, and I think that
that's you know, that's fifty five billion right there.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
People talk about and I think they're right to talk
about the homeless industrial complex.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, well, it's a hinter scam.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I mean, there's a it really And I feel the
same way about high speed rail. I think there's there's
a scam there, and it's uh, it's outrageous and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
It It really is amazing that we keep letting it
go that as far as it hans, you know, where
the public doesn't step in and demand that they either
you know, lower the price or get going or shut
it down.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
But I don't know how you shut it down.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
That's the problem. We are kind of we're a little
bit pregnant, you know. I mean, you just can't you know,
back out of it. It's it's really and all these overpassions,
but all the rail is already there's already there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
If you drive through the central Valley. There are you know,
a couple hundred miles of high speed rail that are
that are sitting.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
There it, I mean, the autumn.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
It ought to be, you know, legally actionable, how bad
it's been, it really ought to be.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
And I think both sides agreed, yeah on that.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
There's a we didn't get this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
There's a robot that went nuts in West Hollywood and
a guy with cerebral polesy couldn't get by him, and
now he's raising his think over the inability to get
past this. And we've all seen him in West Hollywood.
It's like a little R two D two that rolls
around the stow. Yeah, of course dropping food off. Yea,
(23:40):
And I walked by one. It's a kind of a
cool thing.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah. I don't mess with it. I just yeah, it is.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
I always feel bad for I think it gets messed
with a lot, so I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
I don't like to mess with it.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I saw a guy push one over.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, jack of people are such jerks.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
He was on his wheels, you know, with his big eyes,
going to deliver a hamburger, and a guy pushed him.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
Over sweet little delivery gosh, and now he's on his side,
he can't get back up and get a SpongeBob looking guy.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, what a story. This is.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
As you said, the video has gone viral with tens
of millions of views on social media, and now the
man at the center of the storm tells me he's
getting all kinds of feedback from people accusing him of
staging the whole scene as some kind of money grab,
to those who strongly support him, saying they too are
(24:28):
concerned about rogue robot. You might call it sidewalk rage.
Captured on camera, a man in a mobility scooter tries
to pass one of those food delivery robots, but the
supposedly mindless machine will not allow such a takeover, slowing down, swerving,
(24:52):
break checking, and slamming to a halt.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I could get by the robot. This isn't supposed to happen,
is it.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
One would expect these automated meals on wheels to be harmless, convenient,
and would you believe many people actually consider them cute?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Yeah, they are pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
Yes, this recently happened in Hollywood, and we believe all involved.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Servant. Oh, the robot ran into a guy.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Honestly, I just thought, Okay, is this how the Terminator
movie started?
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Mark Cheney is talking about machines taking over the world.
The West Hollywood based therapist has cerebral palsy, a neurological
disorder which affects balance, coordination, and movement. He uses crutches
or the scooter to get around.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
And he couldn't get by this robot.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
Before I started filming that, I was further down the
street and it had been acting erratically anyway.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
And almost hit me.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
So I stopped, let it get ahead of me and
decided to start recording. Because crazy day in West Taller.
