Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am six and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And the water's back up on the Northern Valley, so
you can take showers again, hit the can water or lawn. Yeah,
but I think they're still under a boil water. So
if you're gonna drink the water, you gotta boil it.
So we'll have updates on that update on the fire.
But first, steph Oush is the main story here at
(00:27):
KFI and in Los Angeles. This guy last Thursday had
a radical wreck, like a wreck you'd see a Nascar,
you know, but he wasn't on a NASCAR track. He
was on the one oh five eastbound to the one
ten north interchange. Somebody cut him off. He hit the
guard rail and then did some cartwheels and his car
(00:50):
ended up on its side with his arm stuck under it.
He had his arm outside the window for some reason,
maybe a signal wasn't working.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
He was giving hand signals, who knows, but.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
His arm was outside the window and the car landed
on it, and four guys and a gal came by
and put you know, I corrected the car put it
back on its tires. Pushed and pushed him. Fortunately he's
driving a Prius, so it didn't take much. Four guys
pushed it back onto its wheel, took him out of
(01:21):
the car while it was and then it exploded into
fire and projectiles were coming out. And one of the
guys that we've been looking for is with us. His
name is Jonathan Garay. Jonathan, how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Conway? Are you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh man? I can't thank you enough.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I got emotional when they found you, when they found
the guys that did this. I can't I can't imagine
what our show would be like if it wasn't for
you and those other guys and that and that beautiful woman.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Oh happy, I can help. One of the craziest things
I've seen in my life.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And So what happened when you when you pulled up
on the accident, What did you do to What were
your instincts?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And how do you have those instincts? Are you?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Are you at a fireman or a cop or a
or a you know, a guy who who you know
dedicates his life to to others?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
H No, Actually I work at the Apple store and
I also bartend I was leaving my shift from the
Apple Store on my way to Kippard, which is the
bar I work at in downtown LA. And I was
changing lanes into the fast track from the one O
five to the one ten and checking my mirrors and
you know, making sure it's safe to move over. And
(02:37):
then I look in front of me and there's a
preus ten feet in the air.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So yeah, I yelled and hunked my horn a couple
of times and put on my hazards and kind of
pumped the brakes. And thankfully the people behind me were
paying attention and didn't rear end me and make the
situation worse. I was in a good spot to block
traffic or the prius that I saw go up. And
(03:03):
then you know, I saw a couple other people getting
out of their cars and they pulled over as well,
and I was about to call nine one one, and
I saw oil leaking out of the bottom of the
prius and then it sparked the fire. So I got
out and ran over there, and you know, they're they're
trying to comfort Stephan and they're telling him, hey, you know,
helps on the way, just hak tight, and so I
(03:25):
told him, hey, the car's on fire. We got to
get him out. I tried to go through the passenger door,
but it was locked, and so another guy was like, hey,
let's just flip it. So we got in there. We
started rocking, and h, you know, there was a lot
of blood coming out of the car. Every time we
rocked it, I saw more blood and like, I help,
whoever's in here, it's still alive. So, you know, we
(03:46):
righted it and Steph was awake, thank god, and his
door wasn't like mangled or twisted, so we were able
to open it pretty quickly. He's a he's a dedicated employee.
He got there because he's like, oh, I got to
get my phone, got to work, I'm gonna be late,
and hey, buddy, your car's on fire. We gotta go,
(04:07):
and you're gonna be really light. Yeah. So we got
him out of the car, and that lady had an
extra T shirt. We made a tournique. Another guy was
kind of holding things together on his arm. As you described,
it was pretty mangled, and you know, we we pulled
him a good fifty feet away, and then the inside
(04:27):
of the cabin of the car started visible flames. A
couple of minutes later. Sounds like a big balloon pops
and the flames get bigger, and that was a gas tank,
and so we moved back even further and then another
big pop and the battery went and there's white hot,
sharred delysium flying everywhere. But thankfully we had enough time
(04:49):
to get away and keep step conscious. And I was
asking him if there's anybody we needed him to call,
and he needed us to call or let us know
if he was getting dizzy or if he felt like
he was going to pass out, and then, you know,
we just waited for first responders.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So if it wasn't for you guys, that car would
have caught on fire and he would have been trapped inside.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, I mean, you know, thank god as many people
stopped as they did, and I'm grateful that I had
the presence of mind to get out and run over there.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Man, have you ever done anything or seen anything like
that before in your life?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
No, that's the first for me. I did when I
was in college. I was studying to join the fire
department and get a degree in fire sciences, but I
have a birth defect on my heart, so I wasn't
eligible to join the apartment, so kind of had had
a moment to experience what it's like.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Wow, man, I tell you again. We're talking to Jonathan
Garrett Garray. He's a bartender. Is it Kitpbird the name
of the bar?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, Kip Bird?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And where is that? Where is that?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Located on Fourth and Broadway next to Grand Central Market
were a sparkling wine and charcotery bar.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Okay, And so we you were on your way to
work when this happened, yeah, okay. And how many people
were there total? There were three guys or four guys
and a woman?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, I believe so it was about five of us.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And five of you. And and did I know that?
He kept saying, don't you know who I am? Don't
you know who I am? Is that true?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I didn't hear that, If I'm being honest, I couldn't
hear them over the traffic in the flames, and you know,
people driving past or honking and like yelling out things.
Someone called out like hey you're blocking the road, Like.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Sorry, that was me. I just happened to be running
late that day. Sorry. I've really apologized for them. But
a commuter traffic series, it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Jonathan, First of all, did do you do you ever
listen to KFI. Do you know what we do or
the station.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I'm full of transparency. I haven't used my radio in
a few years. I do like to listen to audible
books or podcasts when I'm driving.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh okay, all right, well, I mean, look, I just
looked at the recent ratings and you're in the majority,
So don't feel bad. You're in a big group, big
ass group. Did now did you wait there for the
ambulance and the fire trucks to show up? And how
quick did the how quickly were they on the scene.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I did wait because my car was blocking traffic and
I didn't want anybody to not pay attention and like
run into his car or like get too close. So
I did leave my car blocking the lane, and then
the ambulance and fire trucks took about twenty twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Wow, is that right? Well there must have been a
ton of traffic.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, it was between me and the other bystanders. We
were covering up two lanes. Wow, twenty You know in
LA if you lose even one, yeah, a lot of traffic.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I absolutely get it, buddy.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I know you're on your way to work and you
only could spend a couple month minutes with us. But
I think we're arranging for you to come in. I
think thursday, is that true?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, okay, I can come in on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, that's great. We're gonna have hot Dog Day.
That's our Thursdays. Steph Bush missed it last week, so
there's at least eleven dogs that are unspoken for. But man,
I can't thank you enough. God bless you and your family.
And we'll learn more about you on Thursday. But I
don't want to keep you from work. And thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
You.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You saved a really great guy. You saved parents from
having to have a funeral for their child, and you
saved the show, and you saved a lot of people
in LA who really enjoy listening to this guy. You
save this man's life.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, I appreciate the time, and you know, I'm really
thankful that we were able to intervene.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, thank you, and we'll see you on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Then all right, sounds good?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All right? Thank you? All right?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Man?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
What a guy? Right?
Speaker 7 (08:57):
When a word is thrown him out around a freakingly
as hero is, Yeah, it's easy to dilute it until
you hear somebody like that.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
And so calm, you know, didn't talk about himself, just
talked about you know, the other guys and steph Uge.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
It's got to be it's got to be an incredible
uh sort of I guess validation on his part and
almost a bittersweet aspect on our part to know that
he wanted to be a first responder of some kind
and couldn't because of, like he said, some sort of
heart defect. But to know that he unlike a lot
of people, when you're faced with it, he jumped in.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, he should have gone into radio, because in order
to get into radio, you have to have a heart
defect or at least some kind of All right, when
we come back, we have another guest. We have the
couple Kenyati Hubbard, him and his wife. His wife is
an e ar nurse and they're the ones that saved
(09:55):
his arm, you know, put a tourniquet around his arm.
So we're going to continue this Stephus steph Fush's life
was saved by people who are working at Apple store,
or working at a bar, or working as a nurse.
You know, people that are just they have you know,
regular great jobs, and they stopped they saw a guy
in peril. They saw a guy in need and they
(10:16):
saved his life. And so we're gonna have at some
point we're gonna have a huge thank you, maybe a
big party for them. If I was Steph Fush and
we're raising a lot of money on GoFundMe, I take
the first ten grand and treat these people right, big dinner,
maybe electric bikes, trip to why whatever it is, these
people all probably get the first ten.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
No matter how bad life can be or a society,
it's always incredibly graifitting you know that there are still
people like this.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Absolute one hundred percent. We'll come back and talk to
two more of these beautiful heroes.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Steph Fush last week could have died on the freeways
of Los Angeles. He was saved by four men and
a woman. They dragged him out of his car before
it caught fire, and he's in the hospital recovering right now.
We just talked to one of the guys, Jonathan Garray.
He works at Kipper downtown Los Angeles, which is a
(11:16):
great bar. Just looks it up online. Great place to
eat and drink, and now we have another gentleman. Kenyati
is with us, kenyat Hubbard.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Are you with us?
Speaker 8 (11:27):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Is that pronounced right? Kenyati?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yes, sir, you pronounce it correctly.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh that's great. What is that? What is the meaning
of that name?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
My name means a brave one?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Well?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
What a des well deserved name.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And so tell us what happened in your eyes? Were
you one of you were the first guy to show up?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Right?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
So I saw the car. I didn't actually see the
actual crash, but I saw them as I'm pulling up.
I saw all the cars backing up. Soul I think
apportunate in his car. I see the bottom of the
cars on fire. So as I we pulled up a
little bit more and I looked and I saw the
guy inside the car and he was trying to get out,
but the car was slipped on its side and he couldn't.
(12:10):
So I told my wife, I'm like, stop the car.
Stop the car now. So I jumped out the car
and I jumped over the median and I tried to
pull on the door, but it locked and it wasn't opening.
From the other side. So another guy in the meantime,
he jumps out and he's like, let's try to flip
the car over, So we'll start. We start rocking the car.
In the meantime, three other guys come up and we're
(12:30):
all rocking the car, rocking the car, rocking the car.
Finally we get it onto the wheels and we opened
the door. We snatched him out of the car and
his arm. I could see his I don't know if
I should go here, but I could see his bone
like it was the most horrific. It was the most
horrific thing I had seen ever in life. But I
wasn't thinking at the time, and so we were just
(12:50):
My main concern was getting him out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle because the vehicle was starting
to catch fire, like even more.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
So my wife, she's X ray tech, I mean, I'm sorry,
Ultra sound tech at for Kaiser, and she's telling me,
she's like, you got need to tie a tourniquet. So
the guy, the gentleman, takes his shirt off and we
wrapped it around his arm and we're doing like a
tuggle war type deal. He's on one side and I'm
on the other side, and we're pulling to get it
really tight. In the meantime, my wife runs back to
(13:21):
our car and grabs a tiel and we do we
do the same thing again, and by that time all
the rest of the guys we had already dragged him
uphill away from the flames. And by this time the
car is fully engulfed. Wow, And that was pretty much it.
My dad was waiting on me, and plus I had
my ten year old. We had left our ten year
(13:42):
old in the fast lane. My mean cars were blocking
the cars, but we had her in the car, so
I kind of wanted to get her out of that situation.
And we had done everything that we could do, and
I knew the paramics and the fire department was on
on the way. So I told the other gentleman we'd
be okay if I left, and they were like, yeah, fine,
we got it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I left. So I go home and I tell my
neighbor the story and that was it. So on Saturday,
he sends me an article from KTLA. He's like, it
just happened to be the guy. So when I see
his picture, I'm like, oh, that's him. That's him. So
he's like, Bro, they're looking for you. Bro, I didn't like.
I didn't do it for recognition. I did it to
(14:22):
save this guy's life. And I wouldn't have living myself.
Know when I drove past him and he was trapped
in that car, and I didn't try to help him,
you know.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But I can't believe. I mean, I get goosebumps just
listening to that. But Kenyatie, are you so when you
pulled up, you saw him and you dragged him out
of the car. Do you think if you guys weren't there,
that he would have been in that car made.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Oh, he wouldn't. He wouldn't have made it out because
his arm was trapped underneath the driver side door. He
was slipped over on the driver's side. Oh my god,
and he and he was trapped and there's no way
he would He would have definitely burned in that vehicle
for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So it was his left arm out there side the window.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
It was trapped, yes, but none of us knew that.
We couldn't see that. I always saw which the car
down and we saw that he couldn't get up. I
thought maybe it's just because he was kind of upside
down and the door was up so high and he
couldn't push it up.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You know, is it true that?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Is it true that when he got out of the car,
he looked at his arm and he goes, oh, no,
that's my eating arm.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
No, no, no, I didn't hear that part when he
jumped out of the car. I just heard him.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I just heard my beauty, just checking. I want to
see how.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Far he went, you know what, it went over my
head and then I got it.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
But ken yati tell the part where the water. Somebody
went to pour water on his arm. But then what
you did?
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Yeah, so someone one of another lady, one the gentleman's wife.
She came with a bottle of water. I'm like, and
me and my wife are like, no, no, you can't
pour water on his arm. You can't pour water on
it on his arm, And so we I ended up
pouring the water on his head. And he just keeps saying,
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. We're like, bro, just
like you're fine, Like you didn't like, you didn't hurt
(16:03):
anyone else, You only hurt yourself. He was like. We
kept telling him not to look. We didn't want him
to look at it at his arm, and his skin
was hanging like three inches from where his arm was
as you know. Oh, it was gross. It was very
it was very horrific, I promise you.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh my god. Yeah, I heard a term that Bellio
told me. I've never heard this before. It was de gloved.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Yes, it was. Yes, it definitely, definitely, and that's the
perfect analogy for it. It definitely deglove for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I mean the skin and the and the and the
ligaments and the muscles all pulled away.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I saw his bone. Oh my god, actual, his actual
bones were showing. His whole arm bone was shown.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Buddy.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
If you hear some background music, I'm I'm out school
shopping with my daughter right now.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Man, you were in the back right now.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
By the way, I have a nineteen twenty year old
daughter and or nineteen and I really miss that. I
missed going to the back to school, you know, to
target or you know, a ward or whatever and pick
up the clothes, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Yeah, he growth myself. I'm a twenty four, I have
twenty two, and I have can all girls.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Okay, all right, that's really cool. No wonder you jumped
out of the car to help.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Almost jumped in the car. It would be a little
bit better for me.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Right, well, it's exploding, he said, Why is that guy
trying to get in the car.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
He's got three daughters, you know what, it's like school shop.

Speaker 6 (17:38):

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Okay, all right, hold him and say I want to
get some more information. And did you hear about this?
It was through KTLA then right, yes, Oh that's great man.
We've got to give Rick Chambers a huge shout out
for that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That is great.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He came out to do the story and we may
have never found these guys if it wasn't for Rick
Chambers and k t L A. Yeah, that's great, all right,
hold him on second one of the Put you on
hold real quick. We'll come back and talk to Kenyetta
Kenyatti Hubbard. He is one of the people, one of
the five people had saved Steph Fusch's life last Thursday.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Such wild stories, unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Steph Fusch's life was saved last week in a horrific
accident on the one oh five eastbound to the one
to ten northbound that interchanged there, and we talked to
one of the guys earlier, a guy named Jonathan Garray,
and now Kenyatti Hubbard is with us. He has three daughters.
He was driving with his wife and his youngest daughter,
(18:38):
who's ten years old. He jumped over the stopped the car,
jumped over the guard rail, and pulled Steph Foch from
that car before it exploded into flames. And he, like
all the other heroes on the scene, said, if they
weren't there, he would have burned to death in that car.
He would he would have been burned alive in that car.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Those details from both of these guys, like I had
no idea of those specific details, and you're absolutely right
here not be here today if not for them.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, it's unbelievable. Kenyata is with us. A name that
actually means superhero, I believe, right, brave one right superhero,
modern day superhero. So, so you have your daughter in
the car, I will I will tell you this. You know,
ninety nine point nine percent of daughters will never have
(19:34):
the story that you have. She'll tell that story until
she has grandchildren. How her dad jumped out of the
car and saved that man's life. And that and that
will and that will be a cornerstone of her life,
you know, on how brave her dad was, and then
she'll want to continue that that that that legacy.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Yes, sir, I would hope so one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
So when when you when you got a and you
helped him and you pulled him out of the car.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It was your wife who was the nurse. Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Yes, she does also sound, but she works in the er. Okay.
She was just so calm about it, like she's seen
it so many times, so he was kind of normal
to her, right, She was just very calm, And I
was kind of all over the place and over the place,
but I was I was a little sicken because I'm
not good with blood. And she said she thought that
I was going to pass out. Oh my god, I
(20:25):
guess my adrenaline was going. I was so focused on
helping him it didn't even bother me.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Now, how did you know, And I'm sure your wife
knew because of her experience, but how did you know
not to pour water on an injury like that.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I didn't know she knew. She just told me not
to pour water. I mean yeah, I just repeated what
she said. Okay, she just she told me you never
pour water on a wound like that. I guess it'll
make it bleed more, she told me. I think so.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And so I know you want to get back to shopping.
But a couple more questions before you go.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Did now when you saw it on TV or somebody?
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Tech?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Sure somebody sent you the clip from kt L.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
A Yeah, yeah, my neighbors sent me the clip.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Oh, I see, and that's how you saw it.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
That's that's how I knew. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
And have you ever heard of kf I before? Were
you a KFI listener?
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Yes? No, Yeah, I know I'm not a listener. I'm
not gonna lie say that, but I do know who
KFI is, Okay, and I and I definitely know who
our radio is.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
So all right, we'll put you down in the books
as a listener. There you go.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Oh, definitely definitely listener.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Now though, okay, that's great, we got a brand new
listener out of it. But man, what a what a uh?
You know, an unbelievable coincidence that your wife happens to
have been, you know, a nurse and has some experience
in the emergency room. I can't imagine you could ask
for anybody better.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Than that, right, And and I forgot to tell you
this part of the story.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I had just came in off a flight from Amsterdam.
So my wife and my daughter are taking it from
the airport and we hate the Winter five Freeway. We're like,
that's so much traffic, always on the Winter five Freeway.
So I told her, I'm like, they do not take
the one on five freeway, and I told her to
take a street route. So she was going on the
street route that I told her to take, and I
was looking down at my phone on Instagram, and I
looked up and like, oh no, we missed our turn.
(22:08):
So we made our turn at the next light, and
it takes us back to the one oh five freeway,
like it was destined for me to be.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So you were you were trying to avoid the one
oh five.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
Yeah, I'm trying to avoid the one oh five. And
I ended up going back to the one o five
And I was like, you know, we just go ahead
and get on the one o five. We'll jump onto
the one tin and go that way.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You know, buddy, you were so much like that even
after a long flight. I'm telling my wife what directions
to go right?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, yeah, turn here, don't turn there, and let's get
on this.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Yes, my wife, since the direction isn't so great.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But can you what what a business are you in?
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I turned the owner trucking company, which is called a
one rapid transportation. But I'm in the process of actually
I just sold my diesel and I'm in the process
of transforming over to show Feur service. I'm going to
do black black escalate. I'm going to buy two escalades.
I'm going to run like a shower service or a
black car service.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh that's great. You know when that starts, please let
us know. We'll promote the hell out of it.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
I definitely appreciate that. That would be great to appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
That is right, don't need it, I'll let you go.
Please tell your daughter thanks for spending this time with us.
I know she's going back to school and needs closed
and everything, but I really appreciate you, and I can't
thank you enough. I hope that you know how much
you saved not only him, but all of us from
a tremendous you know, level and period of grieving because
(23:35):
I truly believe that he would have died if it
wasn't for you guys.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah, he definitely would have. And you guys are more
than welcome, and I'd do it again if I had to.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
You know, you're the best man. Please, I thank your
wife for us as well. I know she didn't want
to come on. She's very private. I get that idea.
I totally get that. Kenyattie, thank you so much, and
God bless you and your family.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
You're more than welcome. God bless you and yours as well.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Thanks man, Wow, unbelievable. Again.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
We all hope to be the person that reacts like
these guys have, and this exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You hope to be that type of person. Yeah, you hope.
Don't always work out that way.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, but but you know that's why, you know, cops
and firefighters. I don't know whether that's learned or whether
they're born with that. When they see trouble, they run
towards it. Everybody else runs away from it. Man, oh man,
what a what a valuable you know, personality trait that
is to run towards trouble like that.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Each of these guys didn't even think twice. They just stopped,
jumped out and helped. They didn't even think twice. He
didn't hesitate.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh no, it says here Kenyani thought twice.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
As a matter of fact, it was three times he
took so yeah, that was what he was trying to
decide whether or not to hop in the car with
him or not. That's what a great line. I got
three daughters, I was thinking about getting in the car.
Wells up. That's great man. Thank you guys so much,
welcome back. I also like to thank John Colebelt, John
Colevelt and his lovely wife Deborah. They donated one thousand
(25:08):
dollars to the GoFundMe one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
We'll have an update on that.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Also, the North Hills, you get your water back, but
you got to boil it. It could be some funk
in there, some funky stuff, so be prepared. Yeah, there's
some funk in the water. Lots going on in the
news as well. We'll cover it all. But thank god
for these true American heroes. They were saved. They saved
steph Ush's life. And thank you to Rick Chambers who
(25:35):
blasted this out. No other news station covered it. KT LA,
you know, the new source of LA. They came to
play and they put the word out there and they're
the ones that responsible for us being able to thank.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
The heroes that save Steph Fush.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So Rick Chambers, he's had a long, awesome career in
LA and man, we owe him as well, we owe everybody.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
These are the guys that saved Steph Fush's life. And
the guy who is responsible for getting us those heroes
in contact with us is Rick Chambers with KTLA channel five.
He came in on Friday. He's the only guy that
came in channel two, four, seven, nine eleven said F
(26:25):
Steph Fush. Yeah, and KTLA he said, no, no, no,
not f Stephfush. We'll find those guys for you, and
they're responsible for them that as Yeah. So this is
the piece that aired Friday night on KTLA after Steph
Fush's got his horrible accident on Thursday. A day later
on the ten o'clock news, Rick Chambers came out to
(26:47):
interview us about the incident at around four and then
stayed in Burbank until ten fifteen until he went on
live and KTLA.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Guy's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
This is a veteran anchor slash reporter and he felt
it was important to do the story. So here's Rick
Chambers story that he did on Friday night.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
The horrific car crash caught on a passer by cell
phone could have ended in tragedy. Instead, strangers stepped in
and likely saved the victim's life. That man works on
a popular KFI radio show.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Now the show's host is praising the good Samaritans and
hoping more people will follow their lead. Rick Chambers Live
in Burbank with a dramatic video and the reaction tonight, Rick.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, Micah.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
The crew here at iHeart would love to have these
good Samaritans step forward and be recognized, because they would
just there'd be no doubt that we would be doing
an oh bit tonight had they just driven past.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
In radio, if a guy misses Hot Dog Day, that's
an emergency.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
It's a big red flat.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
This is that guy that he's referring to. Stephan Cabasis
or Stef Fusche to the Conway audience. He didn't show
up for work yesterday AFI Radio. He's a technical director here,
but he didn't call or message.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh we did three hours yesterday in panicking and trying
to figure out where this guy was.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I've like never seen anything like that.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
This is where Fousch was in that burning car up
on the one oh five connector to the one ten Freeway.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think what.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Happened was he was changing lanes, somebody cut him off
and he hit the guard rail.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
The car flipped over and caught fire.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Stephan's mom tells me that his arm was trapped outside
the window as that car was rolling over. But these
three still unidentified Good Samaritans pulled the fush from the
car before he burned to death, and an unknown woman
applied a tourniquet to his mangled arm.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Who was the thing we talked about with Harvey Corman.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Police say that Fousch wouldn't have made it without the
help of those strangers. But to make matters worse, Steph's
id burned in the crash. He was here at Harbor
UCLA Medical Center for eight hours before family and friends
even knew he was hurt. Folks at KFA thought they
had lost him.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh, Rick, I thought he was gone. I thought it
was over. I had the worst, worst feeling.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
In the world, but Foush will survive. He had his
second surgery today and was in the ICU on a ventilator.
Now the search is on for these three guys. The
people who are close to Fush would like to say
thank you, and it's hoped that the KFI and KTLA
audiences can make that happen, and there is a GoFundMe
(29:26):
set up just search for the Fush. I talked to
his mom earlier. She said he still has a number
of surgeries that he has to go through and it
is going to be a long road to recovery, but
he's going to be okay.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yed Burbank, I'm Rick Chambers.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Guys, that's unbelievable. That's unbrial, ma'am. And yeah, he's right.
You know, if it wasn't for those guys, he would
have been dead. He would have died in that car.
He would have burned in that car. Lucky to have that,
ma'am and everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe, and he
(30:00):
can't thank you enough. We're gonna play some audio of
him actually thanking everybody when we come back, and also
Steph Fush comes in tired, sometimes and we asked him, Hey,
what's going on. He goes, Oh, I had to get
up and listen to The Woody Show for four hours.
Oh yeah, that's his favorite show here on all ninety
eight point seven, The Woody.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Show, in this entire building in the world.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, he'll he'll take off some nights if they're having
a concert or some kind of remote.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Screw the actual radio show I'm working.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh yeah, Well, we said we want to trade him
to the Woody Show. I think they were offering us
a bag of hockey pucks for Steph Fuche, and he said,
let's let's do it.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Let's do it, let's do it. It's a deal.
Speaker 7 (30:40):
It's a little bit of a all right, we'll go
back and play wood He talked about him for The
Woody Show.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Also, Petros and Money talked about it, and Steph Buche
wanted to thank everybody. We'll play that. We can go

Speaker 2 (00:05):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And the water's back up on the Northern Valley, so
you can take showers again, hit the can water or lawn. Yeah,
but I think they're still under a boil water. So
if you're gonna drink the water, you gotta boil it.
So we'll have updates on that update on the fire.
But first, steph Oush is the main story here at
(00:27):
KFI and in Los Angeles. This guy last Thursday had
a radical wreck, like a wreck you'd see a Nascar,
you know, but he wasn't on a NASCAR track. He
was on the one oh five eastbound to the one
ten north interchange. Somebody cut him off. He hit the
guard rail and then did some cartwheels and his car
(00:50):
ended up on its side with his arm stuck under it.
He had his arm outside the window for some reason,
maybe a signal wasn't working.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
He was giving hand signals, who knows, but.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
His arm was outside the window and the car landed
on it, and four guys and a gal came by
and put you know, I corrected the car put it
back on its tires. Pushed and pushed him. Fortunately he's
driving a Prius, so it didn't take much. Four guys
pushed it back onto its wheel, took him out of
(01:21):
the car while it was and then it exploded into
fire and projectiles were coming out. And one of the
guys that we've been looking for is with us. His
name is Jonathan Garay. Jonathan, how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Conway? Are you doing?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh man? I can't thank you enough.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I got emotional when they found you, when they found
the guys that did this. I can't I can't imagine
what our show would be like if it wasn't for
you and those other guys and that and that beautiful woman.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Oh happy, I can help. One of the craziest things
I've seen in my life.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And So what happened when you when you pulled up
on the accident, What did you do to What were
your instincts?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
And how do you have those instincts? Are you?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Are you at a fireman or a cop or a
or a you know, a guy who who you know
dedicates his life to to others?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
H No, Actually I work at the Apple store and
I also bartend I was leaving my shift from the
Apple Store on my way to Kippard, which is the
bar I work at in downtown LA. And I was
changing lanes into the fast track from the one O
five to the one ten and checking my mirrors and
you know, making sure it's safe to move over. And
(02:37):
then I look in front of me and there's a
preus ten feet in the air.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So yeah, I yelled and hunked my horn a couple
of times and put on my hazards and kind of
pumped the brakes. And thankfully the people behind me were
paying attention and didn't rear end me and make the
situation worse. I was in a good spot to block
traffic or the prius that I saw go up. And
(03:03):
then you know, I saw a couple other people getting
out of their cars and they pulled over as well,
and I was about to call nine one one, and
I saw oil leaking out of the bottom of the
prius and then it sparked the fire. So I got
out and ran over there, and you know, they're they're
trying to comfort Stephan and they're telling him, hey, you know,
helps on the way, just hak tight, and so I
(03:25):
told him, hey, the car's on fire. We got to
get him out. I tried to go through the passenger door,
but it was locked, and so another guy was like, hey,
let's just flip it. So we got in there. We
started rocking, and h, you know, there was a lot
of blood coming out of the car. Every time we
rocked it, I saw more blood and like, I help,
whoever's in here, it's still alive. So, you know, we
(03:46):
righted it and Steph was awake, thank god, and his
door wasn't like mangled or twisted, so we were able
to open it pretty quickly. He's a he's a dedicated employee.
He got there because he's like, oh, I got to
get my phone, got to work, I'm gonna be late,
and hey, buddy, your car's on fire. We gotta go,
(04:07):
and you're gonna be really light. Yeah. So we got
him out of the car, and that lady had an
extra T shirt. We made a tournique. Another guy was
kind of holding things together on his arm. As you described,
it was pretty mangled, and you know, we we pulled
him a good fifty feet away, and then the inside
(04:27):
of the cabin of the car started visible flames. A
couple of minutes later. Sounds like a big balloon pops
and the flames get bigger, and that was a gas tank,
and so we moved back even further and then another
big pop and the battery went and there's white hot,
sharred delysium flying everywhere. But thankfully we had enough time
(04:49):
to get away and keep step conscious. And I was
asking him if there's anybody we needed him to call,
and he needed us to call or let us know
if he was getting dizzy or if he felt like
he was going to pass out, and then, you know,
we just waited for first responders.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So if it wasn't for you guys, that car would
have caught on fire and he would have been trapped inside.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, I mean, you know, thank god as many people
stopped as they did, and I'm grateful that I had
the presence of mind to get out and run over there.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Man, have you ever done anything or seen anything like
that before in your life?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
No, that's the first for me. I did when I
was in college. I was studying to join the fire
department and get a degree in fire sciences, but I
have a birth defect on my heart, so I wasn't
eligible to join the apartment, so kind of had had
a moment to experience what it's like.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Wow, man, I tell you again. We're talking to Jonathan
Garrett Garray. He's a bartender. Is it Kitpbird the name
of the bar?
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, Kip Bird?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And where is that? Where is that?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Located on Fourth and Broadway next to Grand Central Market
were a sparkling wine and charcotery bar.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Okay, And so we you were on your way to
work when this happened, yeah, okay. And how many people
were there total? There were three guys or four guys
and a woman?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, I believe so it was about five of us.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And five of you. And and did I know that?
He kept saying, don't you know who I am? Don't
you know who I am? Is that true?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I didn't hear that, If I'm being honest, I couldn't
hear them over the traffic in the flames, and you know,
people driving past or honking and like yelling out things.
Someone called out like hey you're blocking the road, Like.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Sorry, that was me. I just happened to be running
late that day. Sorry. I've really apologized for them. But
a commuter traffic series, it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Jonathan, First of all, did do you do you ever
listen to KFI. Do you know what we do or
the station.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
I'm full of transparency. I haven't used my radio in
a few years. I do like to listen to audible
books or podcasts when I'm driving.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Oh okay, all right, well, I mean, look, I just
looked at the recent ratings and you're in the majority,
So don't feel bad. You're in a big group, big
ass group. Did now did you wait there for the
ambulance and the fire trucks to show up? And how
quick did the how quickly were they on the scene.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I did wait because my car was blocking traffic and
I didn't want anybody to not pay attention and like
run into his car or like get too close. So
I did leave my car blocking the lane, and then
the ambulance and fire trucks took about twenty twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Wow, is that right? Well there must have been a
ton of traffic.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, it was between me and the other bystanders. We
were covering up two lanes. Wow, twenty You know in
LA if you lose even one, yeah, a lot of traffic.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I absolutely get it, buddy.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I know you're on your way to work and you
only could spend a couple month minutes with us. But
I think we're arranging for you to come in. I
think thursday, is that true?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, okay, I can come in on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
All right, that's great. We're gonna have hot Dog Day.
That's our Thursdays. Steph Bush missed it last week, so
there's at least eleven dogs that are unspoken for. But man,
I can't thank you enough. God bless you and your family.
And we'll learn more about you on Thursday. But I
don't want to keep you from work. And thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
You.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You saved a really great guy. You saved parents from
having to have a funeral for their child, and you
saved the show, and you saved a lot of people
in LA who really enjoy listening to this guy. You
save this man's life.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, I appreciate the time, and you know, I'm really
thankful that we were able to intervene.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, thank you, and we'll see you on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Then all right, sounds good?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All right? Thank you? All right?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Man?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
What a guy? Right?
Speaker 7 (08:57):
When a word is thrown him out around a freakingly
as hero is, Yeah, it's easy to dilute it until
you hear somebody like that.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
And so calm, you know, didn't talk about himself, just
talked about you know, the other guys and steph Uge.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
It's got to be it's got to be an incredible
uh sort of I guess validation on his part and
almost a bittersweet aspect on our part to know that
he wanted to be a first responder of some kind
and couldn't because of, like he said, some sort of
heart defect. But to know that he unlike a lot
of people, when you're faced with it, he jumped in.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, he should have gone into radio, because in order
to get into radio, you have to have a heart
defect or at least some kind of All right, when
we come back, we have another guest. We have the
couple Kenyati Hubbard, him and his wife. His wife is
an e ar nurse and they're the ones that saved
(09:55):
his arm, you know, put a tourniquet around his arm.
So we're going to continue this Stephus steph Fush's life
was saved by people who are working at Apple store,
or working at a bar, or working as a nurse.
You know, people that are just they have you know,
regular great jobs, and they stopped they saw a guy
in peril. They saw a guy in need and they
(10:16):
saved his life. And so we're gonna have at some
point we're gonna have a huge thank you, maybe a
big party for them. If I was Steph Fush and
we're raising a lot of money on GoFundMe, I take
the first ten grand and treat these people right, big dinner,
maybe electric bikes, trip to why whatever it is, these
people all probably get the first ten.
Speaker 7 (10:38):
No matter how bad life can be or a society,
it's always incredibly graifitting you know that there are still
people like this.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Absolute one hundred percent. We'll come back and talk to
two more of these beautiful heroes.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Steph Fush last week could have died on the freeways
of Los Angeles. He was saved by four men and
a woman. They dragged him out of his car before
it caught fire, and he's in the hospital recovering right now.
We just talked to one of the guys, Jonathan Garray.
He works at Kipper downtown Los Angeles, which is a
(11:16):
great bar. Just looks it up online. Great place to
eat and drink, and now we have another gentleman. Kenyati
is with us, kenyat Hubbard.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Are you with us?
Speaker 8 (11:27):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Is that pronounced right? Kenyati?
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yes, sir, you pronounce it correctly.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh that's great. What is that? What is the meaning
of that name?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
My name means a brave one?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (11:38):
Well?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
What a des well deserved name.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Thank you, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And so tell us what happened in your eyes? Were
you one of you were the first guy to show up?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Right?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
So I saw the car. I didn't actually see the
actual crash, but I saw them as I'm pulling up.
I saw all the cars backing up. Soul I think
apportunate in his car. I see the bottom of the
cars on fire. So as I we pulled up a
little bit more and I looked and I saw the
guy inside the car and he was trying to get out,
but the car was slipped on its side and he couldn't.
(12:10):
So I told my wife, I'm like, stop the car.
Stop the car now. So I jumped out the car
and I jumped over the median and I tried to
pull on the door, but it locked and it wasn't opening.
From the other side. So another guy in the meantime,
he jumps out and he's like, let's try to flip
the car over, So we'll start. We start rocking the car.
In the meantime, three other guys come up and we're
(12:30):
all rocking the car, rocking the car, rocking the car.
Finally we get it onto the wheels and we opened
the door. We snatched him out of the car and
his arm. I could see his I don't know if
I should go here, but I could see his bone
like it was the most horrific. It was the most
horrific thing I had seen ever in life. But I
wasn't thinking at the time, and so we were just
(12:50):
My main concern was getting him out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle because the vehicle was starting
to catch fire, like even more.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
So my wife, she's X ray tech, I mean, I'm sorry,
Ultra sound tech at for Kaiser, and she's telling me,
she's like, you got need to tie a tourniquet. So
the guy, the gentleman, takes his shirt off and we
wrapped it around his arm and we're doing like a
tuggle war type deal. He's on one side and I'm
on the other side, and we're pulling to get it
really tight. In the meantime, my wife runs back to
(13:21):
our car and grabs a tiel and we do we
do the same thing again, and by that time all
the rest of the guys we had already dragged him
uphill away from the flames. And by this time the
car is fully engulfed. Wow, And that was pretty much it.
My dad was waiting on me, and plus I had
my ten year old. We had left our ten year
(13:42):
old in the fast lane. My mean cars were blocking
the cars, but we had her in the car, so
I kind of wanted to get her out of that situation.
And we had done everything that we could do, and
I knew the paramics and the fire department was on
on the way. So I told the other gentleman we'd
be okay if I left, and they were like, yeah, fine,
we got it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I left. So I go home and I tell my
neighbor the story and that was it. So on Saturday,
he sends me an article from KTLA. He's like, it
just happened to be the guy. So when I see
his picture, I'm like, oh, that's him. That's him. So
he's like, Bro, they're looking for you. Bro, I didn't like.
I didn't do it for recognition. I did it to
(14:22):
save this guy's life. And I wouldn't have living myself.
Know when I drove past him and he was trapped
in that car, and I didn't try to help him,
you know.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But I can't believe. I mean, I get goosebumps just
listening to that. But Kenyatie, are you so when you
pulled up, you saw him and you dragged him out
of the car. Do you think if you guys weren't there,
that he would have been in that car made.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
Oh, he wouldn't. He wouldn't have made it out because
his arm was trapped underneath the driver side door. He
was slipped over on the driver's side. Oh my god,
and he and he was trapped and there's no way
he would He would have definitely burned in that vehicle
for sure.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So it was his left arm out there side the window.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
It was trapped, yes, but none of us knew that.
We couldn't see that. I always saw which the car
down and we saw that he couldn't get up. I
thought maybe it's just because he was kind of upside
down and the door was up so high and he
couldn't push it up.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You know, is it true that?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Is it true that when he got out of the car,
he looked at his arm and he goes, oh, no,
that's my eating arm.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
No, no, no, I didn't hear that part when he
jumped out of the car. I just heard him.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I just heard my beauty, just checking. I want to
see how.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Far he went, you know what, it went over my
head and then I got it.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
But ken yati tell the part where the water. Somebody
went to pour water on his arm. But then what
you did?
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Yeah, so someone one of another lady, one the gentleman's wife.
She came with a bottle of water. I'm like, and
me and my wife are like, no, no, you can't
pour water on his arm. You can't pour water on
it on his arm, And so we I ended up
pouring the water on his head. And he just keeps saying,
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. We're like, bro, just
like you're fine, Like you didn't like, you didn't hurt
(16:03):
anyone else, You only hurt yourself. He was like. We
kept telling him not to look. We didn't want him
to look at it at his arm, and his skin
was hanging like three inches from where his arm was
as you know. Oh, it was gross. It was very
it was very horrific, I promise you.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh my god. Yeah, I heard a term that Bellio
told me. I've never heard this before. It was de gloved.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Yes, it was. Yes, it definitely, definitely, and that's the
perfect analogy for it. It definitely deglove for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I mean the skin and the and the and the
ligaments and the muscles all pulled away.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
I saw his bone. Oh my god, actual, his actual
bones were showing. His whole arm bone was shown.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Buddy.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
If you hear some background music, I'm I'm out school
shopping with my daughter right now.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Man, you were in the back right now.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
By the way, I have a nineteen twenty year old
daughter and or nineteen and I really miss that. I
missed going to the back to school, you know, to
target or you know, a ward or whatever and pick
up the clothes, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Yeah, he growth myself. I'm a twenty four, I have
twenty two, and I have can all girls.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Okay, all right, that's really cool. No wonder you jumped
out of the car to help.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Almost jumped in the car. It would be a little
bit better for me.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Right, well, it's exploding, he said, Why is that guy
trying to get in the car.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
He's got three daughters, you know what, it's like school shop.
That's right, hey, can you stay with us?
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Yes again?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Okay, all right, hold him and say I want to
get some more information. And did you hear about this?
It was through KTLA then right, yes, Oh that's great man.
We've got to give Rick Chambers a huge shout out
for that.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That is great.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
He came out to do the story and we may
have never found these guys if it wasn't for Rick
Chambers and k t L A. Yeah, that's great, all right,
hold him on second one of the Put you on
hold real quick. We'll come back and talk to Kenyetta
Kenyatti Hubbard. He is one of the people, one of
the five people had saved Steph Fusch's life last Thursday.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Such wild stories, unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Steph Fusch's life was saved last week in a horrific
accident on the one oh five eastbound to the one
to ten northbound that interchanged there, and we talked to
one of the guys earlier, a guy named Jonathan Garray,
and now Kenyatti Hubbard is with us. He has three daughters.
He was driving with his wife and his youngest daughter,
(18:38):
who's ten years old. He jumped over the stopped the car,
jumped over the guard rail, and pulled Steph Foch from
that car before it exploded into flames. And he, like
all the other heroes on the scene, said, if they
weren't there, he would have burned to death in that car.
He would he would have been burned alive in that car.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Those details from both of these guys, like I had
no idea of those specific details, and you're absolutely right
here not be here today if not for them.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, it's unbelievable. Kenyata is with us. A name that
actually means superhero, I believe, right, brave one right superhero,
modern day superhero. So, so you have your daughter in
the car, I will I will tell you this. You know,
ninety nine point nine percent of daughters will never have
(19:34):
the story that you have. She'll tell that story until
she has grandchildren. How her dad jumped out of the
car and saved that man's life. And that and that
will and that will be a cornerstone of her life,
you know, on how brave her dad was, and then
she'll want to continue that that that that legacy.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Yes, sir, I would hope so one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
So when when you when you got a and you
helped him and you pulled him out of the car.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It was your wife who was the nurse. Is that correct?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Yes, she does also sound, but she works in the er. Okay.
She was just so calm about it, like she's seen
it so many times, so he was kind of normal
to her, right, She was just very calm, And I
was kind of all over the place and over the place,
but I was I was a little sicken because I'm
not good with blood. And she said she thought that
I was going to pass out. Oh my god, I
(20:25):
guess my adrenaline was going. I was so focused on
helping him it didn't even bother me.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Now, how did you know, And I'm sure your wife
knew because of her experience, but how did you know
not to pour water on an injury like that.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I didn't know she knew. She just told me not
to pour water. I mean yeah, I just repeated what
she said. Okay, she just she told me you never
pour water on a wound like that. I guess it'll
make it bleed more, she told me. I think so.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
And so I know you want to get back to shopping.
But a couple more questions before you go.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Did now when you saw it on TV or somebody?
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Tech?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Sure somebody sent you the clip from kt L.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
A Yeah, yeah, my neighbors sent me the clip.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Oh, I see, and that's how you saw it.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
That's that's how I knew. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
And have you ever heard of kf I before? Were
you a KFI listener?
Speaker 6 (21:12):
Yes? No, Yeah, I know I'm not a listener. I'm
not gonna lie say that, but I do know who
KFI is, Okay, and I and I definitely know who
our radio is.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
So all right, we'll put you down in the books
as a listener. There you go.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Oh, definitely definitely listener.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Now though, okay, that's great, we got a brand new
listener out of it. But man, what a what a uh?
You know, an unbelievable coincidence that your wife happens to
have been, you know, a nurse and has some experience
in the emergency room. I can't imagine you could ask
for anybody better.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Than that, right, And and I forgot to tell you
this part of the story.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I had just came in off a flight from Amsterdam.
So my wife and my daughter are taking it from
the airport and we hate the Winter five Freeway. We're like,
that's so much traffic, always on the Winter five Freeway.
So I told her, I'm like, they do not take
the one on five freeway, and I told her to
take a street route. So she was going on the
street route that I told her to take, and I
was looking down at my phone on Instagram, and I
looked up and like, oh no, we missed our turn.
(22:08):
So we made our turn at the next light, and
it takes us back to the one oh five freeway,
like it was destined for me to be.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
So you were you were trying to avoid the one
oh five.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
Yeah, I'm trying to avoid the one oh five. And
I ended up going back to the one o five
And I was like, you know, we just go ahead
and get on the one o five. We'll jump onto
the one tin and go that way.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You know, buddy, you were so much like that even
after a long flight. I'm telling my wife what directions
to go right?
Speaker 6 (22:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, yeah, turn here, don't turn there, and let's get
on this.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Yes, my wife, since the direction isn't so great.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But can you what what a business are you in?
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I turned the owner trucking company, which is called a
one rapid transportation. But I'm in the process of actually
I just sold my diesel and I'm in the process
of transforming over to show Feur service. I'm going to
do black black escalate. I'm going to buy two escalades.
I'm going to run like a shower service or a
black car service.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh that's great. You know when that starts, please let
us know. We'll promote the hell out of it.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
I definitely appreciate that. That would be great to appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
That is right, don't need it, I'll let you go.
Please tell your daughter thanks for spending this time with us.
I know she's going back to school and needs closed
and everything, but I really appreciate you, and I can't
thank you enough. I hope that you know how much
you saved not only him, but all of us from
a tremendous you know, level and period of grieving because
(23:35):
I truly believe that he would have died if it
wasn't for you guys.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah, he definitely would have. And you guys are more
than welcome, and I'd do it again if I had to.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
You know, you're the best man. Please, I thank your
wife for us as well. I know she didn't want
to come on. She's very private. I get that idea.
I totally get that. Kenyattie, thank you so much, and
God bless you and your family.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
You're more than welcome. God bless you and yours as well.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Thanks man, Wow, unbelievable. Again.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
We all hope to be the person that reacts like
these guys have, and this exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
You hope to be that type of person. Yeah, you hope.
Don't always work out that way.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
No, but but you know that's why, you know, cops
and firefighters. I don't know whether that's learned or whether
they're born with that. When they see trouble, they run
towards it. Everybody else runs away from it. Man, oh man,
what a what a valuable you know, personality trait that
is to run towards trouble like that.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Each of these guys didn't even think twice. They just stopped,
jumped out and helped. They didn't even think twice. He
didn't hesitate.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Oh no, it says here Kenyani thought twice.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
As a matter of fact, it was three times he
took so yeah, that was what he was trying to
decide whether or not to hop in the car with
him or not. That's what a great line. I got
three daughters, I was thinking about getting in the car.
Wells up. That's great man. Thank you guys so much,
welcome back. I also like to thank John Colebelt, John
Colevelt and his lovely wife Deborah. They donated one thousand
(25:08):
dollars to the GoFundMe one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
We'll have an update on that.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Also, the North Hills, you get your water back, but
you got to boil it. It could be some funk
in there, some funky stuff, so be prepared. Yeah, there's
some funk in the water. Lots going on in the
news as well. We'll cover it all. But thank god
for these true American heroes. They were saved. They saved
steph Ush's life. And thank you to Rick Chambers who
(25:35):
blasted this out. No other news station covered it. KT LA,
you know, the new source of LA. They came to
play and they put the word out there and they're
the ones that responsible for us being able to thank.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
The heroes that save Steph Fush.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
So Rick Chambers, he's had a long, awesome career in
LA and man, we owe him as well, we owe everybody.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
These are the guys that saved Steph Fush's life. And
the guy who is responsible for getting us those heroes

He came in on Friday. He's the only guy that

not f Stephfush. We'll find those guys for you, and
they're responsible for them that as Yeah. So this is
the piece that aired Friday night on KTLA after Steph
Fush's got his horrible accident on Thursday. A day later
on the ten o'clock news, Rick Chambers came out to
(26:47):
interview us about the incident at around four and then
stayed in Burbank until ten fifteen until he went on
live and KTLA.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Guy's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
This is a veteran anchor slash reporter and he felt
it was important to do the story. So here's Rick
Chambers story that he did on Friday night.
Speaker 9 (27:09):
The horrific car crash caught on a passer by cell
phone could have ended in tragedy. Instead, strangers stepped in
and likely saved the victim's life. That man works on
a popular KFI radio show.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Now the show's host is praising the good Samaritans and
hoping more people will follow their lead. Rick Chambers Live
in Burbank with a dramatic video and the reaction tonight, Rick.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, Micah.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
The crew here at iHeart would love to have these
good Samaritans step forward and be recognized, because they would
just there'd be no doubt that we would be doing
an oh bit tonight had they just driven past.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
In radio, if a guy misses Hot Dog Day, that's
an emergency.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
It's a big red flat.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
This is that guy that he's referring to. Stephan Cabasis
or Stef Fusche to the Conway audience. He didn't show
up for work yesterday AFI Radio. He's a technical director here,
but he didn't call or message.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh we did three hours yesterday in panicking and trying
to figure out where this guy was.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I've like never seen anything like that.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
This is where Fousch was in that burning car up
on the one oh five connector to the one ten Freeway.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think what.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Happened was he was changing lanes, somebody cut him off
and he hit the guard rail.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
The car flipped over and caught fire.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Stephan's mom tells me that his arm was trapped outside
the window as that car was rolling over. But these
three still unidentified Good Samaritans pulled the fush from the
car before he burned to death, and an unknown woman
applied a tourniquet to his mangled arm.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Who was the thing we talked about with Harvey Corman.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Police say that Fousch wouldn't have made it without the
help of those strangers. But to make matters worse, Steph's
id burned in the crash. He was here at Harbor
UCLA Medical Center for eight hours before family and friends
even knew he was hurt. Folks at KFA thought they
had lost him.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh, Rick, I thought he was gone. I thought it
was over. I had the worst, worst feeling.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
In the world, but Foush will survive. He had his
second surgery today and was in the ICU on a ventilator.
Now the search is on for these three guys. The
people who are close to Fush would like to say
thank you, and it's hoped that the KFI and KTLA
audiences can make that happen, and there is a GoFundMe
(29:26):
set up just search for the Fush. I talked to
his mom earlier. She said he still has a number
of surgeries that he has to go through and it
is going to be a long road to recovery, but
he's going to be okay.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Yed Burbank, I'm Rick Chambers.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Guys, that's unbelievable. That's unbrial, ma'am. And yeah, he's right.
You know, if it wasn't for those guys, he would
have been dead. He would have died in that car.
He would have burned in that car. Lucky to have that,
ma'am and everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe, and he
(30:00):
can't thank you enough. We're gonna play some audio of
him actually thanking everybody when we come back, and also
Steph Fush comes in tired, sometimes and we asked him, Hey,
what's going on. He goes, Oh, I had to get
up and listen to The Woody Show for four hours.
