Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I Am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
And we've got some bad news coming out of Santa Monica.
Evidently a woman hit her child with a frying pan
and killed him or her. And so there's a huge
investigation going on in Santa Monica right now. So let's
get the latest and what's happening in this really crazy
world that we all share, crazy crazy, crazy people.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Let's find out what's going on here.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
The mother of that baby girl is now under arrest.
She confronted police actually on campus over at UCLA earlier
this morning, confessing to harming her child. They later tracked
down the woman's apartment here at Santa Monica on the
two thousand block of Broadway, where you could see there
are forensics investigators vehicles right there along the block. Understand
that that child was found harmed but alive, but later

(00:55):
it was declared to cease at the hospital after suffering
injuries that did involve a frying pan. Again, many answers
or many questions to this case. Of course, we'll continue
to stay on top of this reporting. Life May seven up.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Chris Christie, ABC seven, I which news.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Well, there you go, that's where we are.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Women had enough of either the crying or lost it
with the frying pan and hit that kid. And that
kid survived, I think, until she got to the hospital
and has passed away. That's that happened here in Santa Monica.
Didn't happen overseas, didn't happen on another planet. It happened

(01:35):
in our own backyard. And it's horrible. It's just horrible.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the big fires in Los Angeles.
A lot of people still trying to put their lives
back together, and it is going to be it's still
going to be a long haul for a lot of people.
You know, when you lose everything like that and then

(01:57):
the insurance doesn't come together, it's it's tough, and really
it's tough for a lot of people to eat and
fire passing of residence, move into a new fire resistant home.
That's always good to find out that, you know, people
are populating the area again, and hopefully in the next

(02:17):
four or five years there's no sign of the fires
and everybody's back and everything looks great.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Hopefully, hopefully that happens.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
I mean, it's such a huge, huge job to get
these communities back, you know, in addition to the physical structures,
to try to get that community back on track.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
And that community will never be the same, right Maybe
we'll after you know, three or four generations, but not now.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
You know, they'll always be on edge when they move back.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
This brand new home sits near the top of Riviera
Drive in Pasadena's Upper Hastings Ranch, a home built to
be more resilient to both wildfire and whatever life challenges
face its owner and designer, Julilee.

and decorating a new home for new memories and new
opportunities or challenges that come next for her family.

Speaker 8 (03:38):
Even I make a bus room doors a little big
I think about my husband eighty is going to eighty
December thirty first mightbe some day, he said, wheelchair. How
to do that? So you need to make a door.

Speaker 7 (03:51):
Big, purposeful choices in accessibility and design.

Speaker 8 (03:56):
Green day is my favorite color. And I like a
green because it makes is a meaning to refresh and
new life. Green always a great meaning, a new life refresh.

Speaker 7 (04:37):
In June, we showed you her property as construction began.
Luhan is a home designer by trade and says once
she learned her home was gone, she knew she would rebuild.
Luhan immediately filed her insurance claim and began pushing for
quick work, making her the first eating fire survivor in
Pasadena to begin construction.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Wow, that's great.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, I hope that that's one of thousands they get
back into that area. In we have a story coming
out of Colorado. I believe a pack of lions kill
during a hike in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
What's going on here?

Speaker 10 (05:15):
You've never seen anything like this? A pack of menacing
mountain lions on the prowl count em one, two, three four,
their glowing eyes piercing the darkness, and they're deadly responsible
for a fatal New Year's Day attack a forty six
year old ultra marathon runner Kristin Marie Kovac. She was
on a solo hike near Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Where is that bellio? Are you familiar with where that is?

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
The Rocky Mountain.

Speaker 10 (05:44):
She was on a solo hike near Rocky Mountain National
Park in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Rocky Mountain National Park. She in there? No, she is?
I think she's in. Oh she's in the cam. Yeah,
she's in the.

Speaker 11 (05:55):
It's in Colorado.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Tim Oh, excellent, Okay, thank you angel, thank you.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
When they lunched at her.

Speaker 12 (06:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (06:01):
Had some hikers on Thursday come across a lion over
a woman line in the middle of the trail, and
as they started to get closer, what.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
A way to go?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
You know, you know you're going, you know that lion's
going to, you know, destroy you and try to eat
you and kill you, and you can't do anything about it.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
They're just bigger and stronger than you are. And a
lot of people say, well, that's you're in their backyard,
you know. Yeah, you know, like when you're in the
ocean and a shark attacks you, you're in his living room, sir.
There you go, Like Angel Martinez, she's been paddleboarding and
seen sharks plenty of times.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, Angel knows the story.

Speaker 11 (06:38):
Yeah, yeah, the swim right under me.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
How big was the shark?

Speaker 11 (06:42):
You know, it was just a sand shark, so it
wasn't It wasn't big. And those types aren't really aggressive.
I don't know the only ones that are that I
think I saw that. I felt like I was an
I can't confirm this, but it seemed like it was
something pretty aggressive. And I was in an area where
there was a bunch of white sharks there. There was

(07:04):
definitely one in the water. Because everything around me just
went silent. Wow, Like all the birds and everything that
was just teeming around me just went quiet.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
And that was the last time you got in the ocean.

Speaker 11 (07:16):
Well, it was a last time I paddled out at
that area because it's kind of known for to be
a great white nursery.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Wow, you were kind of flirting with danger that.

Speaker 11 (07:28):
Day in my middle name.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Wait, did you know it was a white shark nursery
before you paddled out there?

Speaker 6 (07:35):
Well?

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, I mean, thank you, thank you, go it, God Almighty,
still did it? What the hell?

Speaker 9 (07:48):
In Colorado?

Speaker 11 (07:49):
Two?

Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's on that trail on the ocean.

Speaker 13 (07:54):
And as they started to get in the mountains.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
H do you know where they're talking about where this
lion attacked this woman?

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I don't, okay.

Speaker 13 (08:03):
And as they started to get closer, they started throwing
rocks at the lions to scare it from the area.
She did have wounds that were consistent with a mountain
lion attack.

Speaker 14 (08:10):
I knew in my heart that that could have been me.

Speaker 10 (08:14):
Three months ago, Mary Crone had an encounter with a
mountain lion on the same trail. It happened when she
was on a hike with her thirteen year old terrier
named Sugar.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
The mountain lion appeared out of nowhere.

Speaker 14 (08:26):
It didn't pounce, it didn't circle, it didn't stalk me.
It was just silently and calmly at my site.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
Wow. That's gotta be terrifying.

Speaker 14 (08:36):
I started screaming, and I was picking up rocks and
sticks and throwing and he'd never moved. He didn't flinch,
he didn't move, and he just instantly grabbed my dog
by her neck.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh my god, and took the dog away. Huh.

Speaker 14 (08:51):
When my dog took its last breath, that's when I
knew I couldn't do anything else, and so I started
to retreat.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
You can see Mary Krone back away.

Speaker 14 (09:01):
There were two other mountain lions pacing back and forth.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
So what can you do to stay safe?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, stay at home, you know, don't go out on
the trails. Stay in the living room and do a
jigsaw puzzle.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
If you are confronted with a terrorizing mountain lion.

Speaker 14 (09:18):
No.

Speaker 13 (09:20):
Make some noise, don't keep approaching the lion. Make yourself
look bigger. You can do that by holding your arms
over your head and then start backing away.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
But you definitely don't want to run into a pack
like this.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Oh my god, how crazy is that? You know?

Speaker 2 (09:36):
That's but yet there'll be people out there tomorrow, you know,
walking in the same area. I'm sure thinking, Ah, that's
just them, that's not gonna happen to me, It can
happen to you. It can definitely happen to you. Mountain
lions killing people? Is that Angel?

Speaker 11 (09:50):
If it's a if, it's a group of cats. Isn't
it a pride? Not a pack? It's not a pack
of wool.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
That's true. Okay, all right, that's cool. Yeah, messed up. Yeah,
and I nailed it. Yeah, Angel nailed it. All right.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
We're live on KFIM so forty. You don't forget tomorrow
night at seven o'clock. Right after the show ends at
seven o'clock, they're gonna be running a special here from
seven to nine on the Fires. It's one year anniversary tomorrow,
and it seems like it's been twenty years, but it's
one year ago tomorrow that the crazy winds came in

(10:27):
and all the fires started.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
So there's a great special.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
It starts at seven pm right here on KFI tomorrow night.
You're gonna want to hear that, and so tune in
tomorrow at four and hang with us till seven, get
yourtulf a good seat, and then at seven o'clock that's

Speaker 15 (10:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
KFI AM six forty Conway Show.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Mark Thompson is here, come on now and great fill
in over the vacation and again last night knocking it out.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Bub Always fun to be in the Captain's share KFI.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
It really isn't it? Really? Do enjoy it? All right?
We have again tomorrow the wildfires.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
You're gonna do something on the wildfire? Yes, yeah, they're
doing that. I'm really looking forward to the special because
Monks is very talented and I know that they'll There's
a lot to it. You know, there's the damage, there's
the rebuild, there's the politics, there's the what's went wrong?
What's gone wrong? What went wrong? I'm I'm very anxious
to hear that tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
And LA Fire Department is come under some criticism and
some heat, But I don't blame them as much as
I blame the politicians who have withheld money from them
every single year over the last ten years. They constantly
reduced the budget of the La Fire Department constantly. And

(11:56):
I know that Mayor Bass is going to run again,
and you people like you Mark, who live in the
city of La are going to have to decide whether
she's talented enough and has what it takes to run
that city again for four years. I am a big
fan of Mayribeths. I love Marabas, and I think it's

(12:18):
racist and you're a misogynist if you don't vote for
her again. That's my opinion, because she's done tremendous. It's
been a tremendous help for property values in Burbank. I
think the lot of people like to move to smaller town.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
I get it, I get it. I get what you're doing.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Yeah, I think the fire Actually I said it at
the time, it may be her undoing.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
I don't think so. I don't know how you survive
it now.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
I know it was a year ago, and you know,
memories faded to begin to sort of sort of reframe things.
And but I think a lot of what you're talking
about is going to be brought up in any election again.
And the questionable decisions made and the fact.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
That she wasn't here. I think that will that hurts.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
That will hurt, and I think that you know, again
this confade in memory. But believe me, when the election
rolls around, that's all you're going to hear about.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
LA Fire Department has new leadership and they're bringing in
a new era of transparency with Jamie Moore, Let's find
out what's going on with LA Fire Department laf D.

Speaker 16 (13:23):
The new leadership of the LAFD says, re earning the
trust from the people of.

Speaker 9 (13:27):
La is now paramount.

Speaker 16 (13:28):
So today Chief Jamie Moore admitted the mop up of
the Lachman fire was not sufficient, and he said the
after action report for the Palisades fire was edited down
by the previous administration to lessen criticism.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
But Chief Moore says, we.

Speaker 16 (13:42):
Are now in a new year and in a new
era for the LAFD.

Speaker 17 (13:47):
The people of Los Angeles deserve honesty.

Speaker 16 (13:49):
So today for the Los Angeles Fire Commission, and just
one day before remark one year since the Palisades fire,
Chief Jamie Moore said what many already assumed be true,
but what no chief would say before him.

Speaker 17 (14:04):
The outcome has made it incredibly clear that our mop
up and verification process needed to be stronger.

Speaker 9 (14:12):
Chief More's referring there to the Lockman Fire.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Okay, the Lockman fire was the fire that started on
New Year's up in the hills just north of Pacific Palisades.
They thought that fire was out. Evidently it was him,
and that's what ignited the fire that burned Malibu and
the Pacific Palisades.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Let's find out more.

Speaker 16 (14:32):
That's the New Year's date blaze that was quickly contained
but smoldered underground for a week here along this hiking
trail before roaring back up into the devastating Palisades fire.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
By the way, you know, Tim, did you realize because
I didn't that a than I probably did. The embers
from a fire like that could smolder for a week. Okay,
I'm not talking about for a day or two a week,
it's not it's at the time they were making the statement,
I thought, that's not that's impossible. Now I realized, Wow,
it's not like possible. It's the reason this whole thing started.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's amazing that you're right, a fire can burn like
that for a week, And how difficult it is to
get a fire started in you're on fireplace, right, you know,
it's almost impossible. You know, the logs don't burn, you
got to put more paper in, you got to turn
the gas on, and it never really gets rolling. But

(15:27):
yet that fire lasted for a week underground.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
A week. Yeah, it's unreal. Unreal, never heard of that before.

Speaker 16 (15:34):
Seven on your Side Investigates has reported video we obtained
shows smoke on the afternoon of January first, but no
firefighters in sight.

Speaker 17 (15:43):
And determined that we look at any and every issue
to make sure that the right lessons are learned.

Speaker 16 (15:50):
So to ensure those lessons are learned, Chief More told
commissioners today he has asked the state to include the
Lockman fire in its review of the LA fighters, and
I'm a separate independent investigation into that first fire as well. Meanwhile,
he also came clean on behalf of the LAFD that
this after I a should report the department released last

(16:11):
year on its response to the Palisades fire was watered down.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Oh boy, all right, even the chief is saying it's
watered down.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
That's a big deal.

Speaker 17 (16:19):
I can assure you that nothing of this sort will
ever again happen while I am fire Chief.

Speaker 9 (16:26):
Commissioners like what they heard.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
That's a pretty good statement coming from the chief. You know,
the new chief Jamie Moore or is he going by himI?
You going by himI or Jamie always known as Jamie.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
He gives the option of both, Oh he does. Yeah, okay,
I'm gonna do that. We say, himI in the newsroom,
do you do Okay.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
I'm gonna say you. I'm gonna give you guys the
option Timothy or Timoteo. You can address me either way.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Oh my god, Timoteo sounds wonderful. Timoteo. I like Timoteo.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
All right, Well that's the way you're gonna address me. Then, yeah,
tim Miteo or Sharon's boss.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
How about that?

Speaker 15 (17:03):
You're not?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Pardon you are not, So that's not an option.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
You're not.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
I'm sorry, you are not my boss. Really, I do
like Sharon's boss a little better.

Speaker 11 (17:22):
You are my boss.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I might stick. No, I think that'll stick. It's the
It's Sharon Boss and Thompson's show.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
I like that.

Speaker 17 (17:31):
I can assure you that nothing of this sort will
ever again happen while I am fire Chief.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
All Right, you heard it right there from Jamie Moore.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
He's he's serious, man, This guy's he's putting his reputation
on the line here.

Speaker 9 (17:46):
Commissioners like what they heard.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
What I think you saw today is a complete change
in terms of.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Leadership and in terms of transparency.

Speaker 16 (17:55):
So Chief Moore says, this is now a new era
of transparency. But but a huge staffing shortage does remain
at the LAFD.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
I don't like that. Why is that happening?

Speaker 5 (18:06):
I think shortage does remain a huge.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Staffing what do you say here?

Speaker 16 (18:09):
End of the end, But a huge staffing shortage does
remain at the LAFD.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Why is there a huge staff shortage? What's going on
with the LAFD?

Speaker 5 (18:18):
Well?

Speaker 6 (18:18):
I mean, I assume fuire more people. Budgets are a problem, right, yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
That but that got us into this problem last year.
You know, they keep taking money away from LA Fire Department.
How can you fight fires when they take money from
you every single year? That's a problem in LA huge problem.
Not Imburbank though I mentioned that, or Culver City or
San Fernando, these smaller little communities. I think there's something

(18:43):
to say for the smaller communities and that surround Los Angeles,
like out where Krozier lives, right, small tiny bedroom community,
not run by mayor bas and I imagine the property
values are going to go up.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Buddy, Yeah out there, buddy, Come on, Timotato.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
I love Montclair. It really is Clairemont Sorry, really cool.

Speaker 15 (19:08):
Hey, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand? From
KF I am six forty.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Could you allowed to be married to somebody who's making
millions of dollars?

Speaker 3 (19:22):
It would be nice, That would be nice.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
She's got to be making millions, Ryan, You don't think so?
Is she a one hit wonder?

Speaker 16 (19:34):
No?

Speaker 18 (19:35):
I think she's no, because she broke away from Fifth
Harmony and then.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Camilla Camilla Cobo. Yeah, Camilla be she's a millionaire. Well, no,
she is. Yeah, but I.

Speaker 18 (19:47):
Don't think it's gonna sustain because really, no, she broke
away too quick, because what does that mean.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
I think her manager and her agent told the potential
that she has without the group and before what group
was she with? Fifth Fifth Harmony? And before the group,
you know, popularity fizzled out. They're like, you need to
get out of that one be real quick.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Oh and she So she bailed on the group and
now has a solo career. Yeah, Jerry Hollow will the
whole group she tried? She that's the Spice Girl reference.

Speaker 18 (20:19):
Yes, yeah, yes, Sting is the only one that could
pull that off because he actually wrote the songs, you know,
with the Police.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
But but she is the richest of the Fifth Harmony group. Wow,
is that right? She's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
She like does her Spanish music and then she jumps
for the American Yeah stream.

Speaker 18 (20:42):
Name of song she had this year, she's too busyonaire because.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
She cut off the freeway. No, she bums me out.

Speaker 18 (20:50):
It's like, no, she Ali Brookes should have broken out,
and I think she would be better.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Ali Brooke, who's that Fifth Harmony with Fifth Dimension?

Speaker 19 (20:59):
Fifth Harmony? You liked Fifth Harmony? Like them attack? Just
saying you know, she's not bad, but I think we
had better.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Uh you think she could have done Havana?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Definitely? Not No, no, no one could have done that.
She owns that one. That's a great songs it is.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
And singer Rita well and and the nice thing about
that Havanaa. She also talks about Atlanta too, so she
brings in Atlanta and Havana.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
It all comes together and combines it. Yeah, that's nice.
I love any shown that brings in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yes, it's not easy to do, It's impossible. I think
the only person that could do is like Vicky Lawrence
in Georgia the Night to Night the lights then, yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
The night lights were out in Georgia, but Atlanta specifically, Yeah,
you don't know the lyrics. I'm going ahead to night
that the lights were out in Georgia, Havana. That's not
that the man man exactly. Yeah, they killed it man

They say you can still get it, and they suggest

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Croche?

Speaker 3 (22:42):

Speaker 2 (22:44):
You have never had a shot in your life, I
bet pretty much, unless it came in a glass.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Hey, what about you.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Razor X, you get a shot? You get a flu shot?

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Is that me?

Speaker 20 (22:58):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (22:58):
No, you don't. You didn't get in the hospital. They
didn't offer you that to you.

Speaker 18 (23:03):
No, they actually didn't. Really that's a good point. I
didn't think about that, but they offered it to me.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Are you gonna get one? But no? But every time
I go to get a check up, Hey, do you
want a flu shot. Oh is that right?

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:16):
Every single time. But when I was that's a good point.
Every time I was, every day I was there, I
never got nough. Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
And there's people in that hospital with the flu. What
about you, Rachel, you get a flu shot?

Speaker 3 (23:28):
I did not. Do you know the reference Race Rex? Yeah?
I heard you asking, Belly. You just broke that down
for me. You know who it is? No, well, it's
speed racers older brother. It's our boy. No, it's speed
Racer's older brother, Racor X.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
And not a lot of people knew that watching that
show until the end when he took his mask, he
masks himself, Yeah, Razor Rex is speed racers older brother.

Speaker 9 (23:56):
Spoiler.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah. Geez all right, let's.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Get let me try to convince you Heathens to get
a flu shot, because you need the flu.

Speaker 21 (24:04):
Shot tonight after all those holiday gatherings and travel. A
record breaking search in cases of the flu.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Do you hear that?

Speaker 21 (24:11):
A record breaking search in cases of the flu?

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Anybody? Anybody driving around la hear that?

Speaker 21 (24:16):
A record breaking search in cases of the flu that
health officials say is likely to get even worse. New
York State reporting a record five and forty six hospitalizations
up twenty four percent from the week before.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
When it first started spanking.

Speaker 22 (24:31):
We're seeing a lot more kids, and now the older
patients start starting to catch up.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
You imagine how many people have the flu in New
York if forty five hundred of them our hospitalized shoes.
And you know, when you get the flu, you never
even go to the doctor. Most of the time, you
just ride it out. Sure, but a lot of people
went to the doctor and the doctor told him, you've
got to be in the hospital. Forty five hundred beds
of people with the flu in New York, that's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (24:54):
At Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital in New York City, doctor
Eric Legolm tells me they're seeing as many as thirty
more flu patients this year than last.

Speaker 22 (25:02):
And that kind of trashl we're seeing across the state
or even across the country. We're seeing it earlier, and
the numbers were seen earlier are much higher.

Speaker 21 (25:09):
The CDC says all but five states are reporting high
or very high flu activity, and more than eight percent
of all visits to a healthcare provider are for flu symptoms.
That's the highest level since they started keeping track.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Experts say did you hear that, Bellio.

Speaker 21 (25:24):
That's the highest level since they started keeping track.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
The highest level since they started tracking. The flu is
happening right now.

Speaker 21 (25:32):
Experts say the predominant type of flu this year, AH
three and two, historically hits harder, and this year's predominant
strain of AH three and two called subclate k. It's
different than the strain that this year's flu shots were
designed to protect against.

Speaker 20 (25:46):
It doesn't mean that the vaccine isn't working. That vaccine,
like we've seen historically, will protect you against severe illness, hospitalization,
and even death. So it's still not too late to
get that flu shot.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Okay, one more time for people have hass this, listen
to this.

Speaker 20 (26:00):
If you get severe illness, hospitalization, and even death, So
it's still not too late to get that flu shot.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
It's still not too late to get that flu shot.
Miss Bellio.

Speaker 21 (26:10):
Sadly, so far this season, there have been at least
ten pediatric depths from the flu. Last season, two hundred
and eighty nine kids died from the flu.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
That is a record.

Speaker 21 (26:19):
About ninety percent of those kids were not vaccinated.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
I'm going to play this for you again, and then
I'm going to stop talking about it, but this is
very important for you to hear.

Speaker 21 (26:29):
Last season, two hundred and eighty nine kids died from
the flu.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
That is a record.

Speaker 21 (26:34):
About ninety percent of those kids were not vaccinated.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Get your kids vaccinated with the flu shot well.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
More and more kids showing up to emergency rooms for
with diseases and illnesses that are completely avoidable through vaccine.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
That's right, that's right. And skateboard accidents that too. Wear
that helmet. So I don't mean to be too preachy,
but get a helmet and get a blue shut, not
necessarily in that, or get both.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
I thrown. I'm thrown a mazle shut if I were.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You wear your helmet to the doctor to get your
flue there you go, never take that. That's always a
good look. Where that spongy leather helmet around. I wonder
if that damage is a kid kids walked around, you know.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
His dad's always very cautious, and he makes more a
helmet everywhere he goes.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I saw a guy about six months ago driving on
the Venture Freeway in what looked like a camera or something,
and he was wearing a helmet, and I thought, what
an a hole? And then I thought That guy's smart.
He's driving in a car that's going seventy miles an hour.
Why wouldn't you have a helmet on. Why wouldn't you

(27:44):
wear a helmet. I'm going to start wearing a helmet
in my car. I don't care what it looks like.
I'm gonna have ding on one side and dong.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
On the other.

Speaker 11 (27:54):
Do you still have that cannonball helmet from a few
years back to Halloween?

Speaker 3 (27:58):
But that's not crue. I don't think it's going to
be safe enough.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
But I'm going to get an actual helmet and start
wearing it when I drive.

Speaker 6 (28:06):
You don't feel the car that you're surrounded by is
enough protection?

Speaker 3 (28:10):
No, I think you're gonna have head injuries in a car.

Speaker 19 (28:12):
I see, okay, I mean I know race car drivers
wear helmets.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, that's right, they are. They're also going to eighty Yeah. Well,
wait a minute. Crozier's got a good point.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Race car drivers wear helmets and they have more more
safety equipment in that car than you'll ever have.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Well, they're going an incredibly high Ritish speech.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
George Carlan a great line. He said, the reason why
we watched NASCAR is there's no other place in the
world where you can witness a twenty three car pile
up and not be in it.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
A great lot. That's a great line.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
I'm kind of I'm kind of tired, to be honest
with you.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
You look good though you don't look tired. Thank you.
Thanks Conway, You're awesome. You're a big supporter, and I
appreciate it. I was.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I appreciate you coming in every Tuesday, really do. When
I was flying to Oregon, I went on the DMV
website about three weeks before my birthday in October, and
I ordered a new license, a new real ID, and
it never showed up. They said they sent it from
the DMV. So somebody has my license and God alway

(29:56):
knows what they're doing with it. And so I didn't
get a real ID, and I got a fly from
Burbank to Oregon. And they scare the hell out of you, saying,
if you don't have a real ID, you could be
left at home. You know, they could throw you in jail,
they could shoot you, they could burn you know, your
license and all your papers, and they really scare the

(30:17):
hell out of you. So I was supposed to leave
on Sunday at a Burbank airport to Portland NonStop, thank
you very much on Alaska Airlines, beautiful airlines. And so
I go to Burbank Airport on Saturday night. I'm not
supposed to leave till Sunday, but I go on Saturday
to ask them what the drill is, how soon? How
far in advance should I get to the airport if

(30:38):
I do not have a real ID? And the woman said, oh,
it's probably just a minute or two of inconvenience, and
I thought, okay, that's probably not right. Yeah, it doesn't
sound right. So I get to the airport two and
a half hours before the flight, thinking I'm gonna spend
an hour under a lamp being you.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Know, guantanamode exactly. Yeah, ridiculed and laughed at what made
you think you could go to this airport without a
real ID? Right?

Speaker 2 (31:05):
And you know, and we're going to go over it
again and again and again and again speed wrapping at
the air at Burbank Airport. And so I get to
the airport and I say to the lady, I don't
have a real ID, and she said, can you step
to the side you need further screening?

Speaker 3 (31:21):
And I said okay.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
A guy comes out, he walks me through the TSA,
gives me my all my stuff, and says have a
nice day. It literally was about forty seconds of inconvenience.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
And the same thing in Oregon because I had to
fly back without a real ID, about forty five seconds
of inconvenience. Oh and that's it. But they scare the
hell out of you, Yeah, they sure do. Thinking you know,
you're you're gonna be you know, arrested. Yeah, if you
don't have one, or that you can't fly.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I thought I was going to have to drive home. Yeah,
but it's not the case. Maybe I got lucky. Maybe
Burbank Airport is a cool place to fly out of
or fly into if you don't have a real ID.
I don't know, but it was not inconvenient at all.
Real ID California the recalling some of them, though, three
hundred and twenty five thousand. Maybe you have one, and
if you have one, you've got to listen to the story.

Speaker 23 (32:13):
Over the coming weeks, the DMV says it will be
notifying more than three hundred thousand real ID holders to
inform them they need to get a replacement card.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
I can I can see where in the house because
this place there can be a hassle.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
How can California f up anymore? Even when you did
something right, you went to the DMV, you got the
real ID, and now you have there's a recall on
three hundred and twenty five thousand of them.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
It must frustrate the hell out of people.

Speaker 23 (32:43):
Well, The DMV emphasizes that real IDs were not issued
to Californians without documented status. Some legal immigrants are affected.
After a review by the DMV found that the expiration
dates on their real IDs don't match up with the
expiration of their US visas. In a statement, the DMV's
director said, we proactively reviewed our records, identified a legacy

(33:06):
system issue from two thousand and six, and are notifying
impacted customers with clear guidance on how to maintain a
valid California issued credential. For nearly ninety nine percent of
real ID holders, no action is required.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Do you hear that that's good news? Listen to this again.

Speaker 23 (33:21):
For nearly ninety nine percent of real ID holders, no
action is required.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Wow.

Speaker 23 (33:26):
Some immigrant rights groups, though, have voice concerns that this
apparent clitch could create fears for some immigrants, even if
they currently have legal status, a concern echoed by San
Diego Spencer Levine.

Speaker 24 (33:38):
And they're already being in San Diego, you know, picked
up when they're coming to their court date. So I
think any extra government facility they have to go to
for a clerical error, I mean it's not just a hassle.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
I mean it's a danger to them.

Speaker 23 (33:52):
Some state lawmakers, though, see this snaf who is more
of a reflection on government competence that's right.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
That's exactly what it is. Government incompetence.

Speaker 23 (34:01):
Mark with Republican Senator Tony Stricklin, who serves as vice
chair on the Senate Transportation Committee, saying years of poor
oversight allowed outdated systems to create a massive disruption for
hard working residents. Even if feeser waived, Californian still pay
the price in lost time and frustration.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
There you go, all right, we got to get out
of here.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
I was listening to you last night, Mark Thompson, Yes,
and I really enjoyed you talking about what you did
on New Year's Eve. And Mark I Ronner painted a
great picture of Mark sitting in here in the news
booth with his girlfriend on New Year's Eve. I thought

(34:42):
that was both entertaining and sad.

Speaker 12 (34:45):
It was extraordinarily said, yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
But I like the fact that you guys spent it together.

Speaker 12 (34:51):
And the thing we did after that, we went home
and watched in nineteen seventy seven, Guy Lombardo.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
New Year's Eve. To me, it's brilliant, brilliant, that's great.

Speaker 12 (35:00):
Nothing could have made me happier than to watch all
the old guys with the combovers and the women with
the with the Bee High.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Was Lombardo with the bubbles? That's Lawrence Welk.

Speaker 12 (35:09):
Actually, I think, yeah, that's well, yeah, I got exposed
to all that stuff from my grandparents as a child.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Oh that's great. But this was but was that coming
out of Vegas?

Speaker 12 (35:17):
This was an old show on YouTube from when Guy
Lombardo did all the New Year's shows, right, and he
would have like all these old squares sing the pop
hits of the day. So, oh that's sreat some old
guy sings feelings and it nearly brought me to tears.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
That's classic. What was that like a two hour special?
Like an hour and a half something like that.

Speaker 12 (35:39):
That's why you know, back in the day it wasn't
It wasn't all New Year's Rock and Eve?

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Had you even find that unreal?

Speaker 2 (35:46):
All right, lou Penrose is coming in and he'll take
you until ten pm.
