Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM sixty.
It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
We begin with the guy who's had the roughest week
of anybody here at Iheartmedium.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Maybe that's true, probably true.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
A guy who got in an accident, radical accident last Thursday,
and he's been all over the news.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
People have been raising money left and right.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
And his name is Steph Foh well, his name is
actually Stefan, but we call him step O. Stephush Hi
you Bob dangat start. I guess, buddy, I can't believe
what has happened to you.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Do you have any memory of the accident.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I kind of do. I just remember from what I
from what I saw, but hearing I listened to yesterday's podcast,
and you know, hearing those two guys their versions, I didn't,
I'll be honest. I thought the car flipped back on
(01:11):
its own.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
To know that they did it was like just astonishing,
and I'm thinking grateful, thankful, so as my parents every day.
And you, guys, I guess bye.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
For people are just tuning in and haven't heard the
nine hundred news stories on the station about the incident.
You're driving on the one oh five eastbound to the
one ten northbound, is that correct?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And are you in the diamond lane or the fast lane?
What lane are you in?
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's the fast track lane?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh, the HV fast track line. Okay, and somebody cut
you off?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I went really quick, and I just was not expecting it,
and I would have been ahead on collision most likely.
But I was quick enough to at least move enough,
but or move a little bit but not enough. And
that's I kind of clipped it. And that's what made
me just go overboard.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I guess, Oh, you mean a head on collision with
that barrier.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, Like I think it would have done it if
I wouldn't have at least turned a little bit to the.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Left right and that so it may have caused the
car to flip. Then did it?
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Did it flip completely upside down to a couple of cartwheels.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
That's the thing I don't know. I don't know if
it just fell on its side or if it flipped.
Some people say it flipped. Some people say they saw
the side so that I couldn't tell you because you know,
it happened in the blink of an eye. And you know,
and for those wondering, I did not have my arm
outside of the car, because I think if that was
(02:37):
the case, it would have just taken my arm off.
But the flip or the you know, the hit, the
collision with the pavement broke the window and that's what
made my arm scrape the pavement.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh I see.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And and so you were conscious though, I mean conscious
enough to tell people that you're late for work and
you wanted to call us, but your your cell phone
was left.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
In the car, right.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I was so like concerned with work, and I thought
I was going to get in trouble. And you know,
I'm looking down at my arm and and I just
could see the inside. And for those of who are
familiar with the franchise of the Saw movies, I looked
like a scene straight out of Saw. Like it was unreal.
(03:28):
But I was in such shock. I just couldn't believe it.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Now do they do they have any kind of pain
relief for you?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I mean, are you on like oxycoton or morphine, fentanyl, tramadol,
Are you on a codeine or.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Any other other Is that enough is enough for you.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I've actually been on three or five of those throughout
the week. It's been pretty pretty intense pain. A lot
of surgeries, so I still got more coming up, a
lot of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and I'm getting stronger
every day. I'm trying to do what they tell me.
(04:09):
I've always been good at listening to doctors, so yeah,
it's it's really you know a lot. But I've been
following all of the directions.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So do you have a private room or there are
people with you?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I was in a room with three other people at first. Wow,
and my mom is so good, so I was able
to get a room with just one other person. But
no one has been admitted yet, so I have been
by myself technically.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Okay, that's good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
The last thing you want to do when you're in
tremendous pain is be within three other people are also in.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Pain, exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It sounds like a mental hospital night.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
What's usually what's the most I think the hardest part
is the machines that keep going off at different times
of the day, and some of them go off at night,
sometimes they go off during the day, so it's really
hard to just kind of relax. So that's why there's
always an usual lack of sleep going on.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Can you get up on your feet, like to go
to the bathroom or to walk around.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I just started doing that actually on my own today.
So I'm pretty proud of myself because I'm hooked up
to what's called a wound, a wound back, and I
had to carry it with me, and so I just
take it into the bathroom with me. I go to
the bathroom by myself, and then I just come back
hook it back up and then I just kind of
(05:35):
lay down because it does tire me out a lot
just to like have those little walks, but it's makes
I think it's making me stronger, So that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And I understand your mom and dad have been there
every day.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
They have been here every single day.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's great, buddy.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, they're great parents. I couldn't ask for anything better.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Any any word on how long you're going to be in.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
The hospital, Well, well, I think I definitely have one
more surgery, but we're still waiting for the date. So
I'm gonna update Bellio when I can, and yeah, we'll
see when it is, but I still one more so
I'm definitely here for another week. So my hope is
(06:18):
that either by the end of the week, so like
either Sunday or coming into like maybe a Monday or Tuesday,
and then I just continue occupational therapy on my own, well,
not with my own, it'll be with my mom. But yeah, right, And.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
What are the what's the concentration on the surgeries? Is
it all on your arm or there other parts of
your body that have fallen apart?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
No, I actually got really lucky, I did. I guess
they said I fractured two ribs, but within the day
after they said it was already healed, so there's nothing
to worry about there, which I was pretty lucky about.
And then the so the rest has been purely on
my left arm, but I guess it was so contaminated.
(07:03):
The last three surgeries have all just been cleaning it
out and making sure that it's clean enough to start
closing up the wound. So right now they're waiting for
the skin too. Yeah, and right now they're waiting for
the skin to decide whether it's going to be viable.
But the last time or the last update they gave
(07:24):
me this morning was that it'll be it's starting to
head in a positive direction of the skin starting to
relive in and that they can use a decent amount
and then whatever doesn't it wasn't able to close the wound,
they're just gonna it'll just be a skin graft. So
that might be another surgery. So we'll see with that
(07:44):
how that goes.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, buddy, I don't want to make light of this,
but I when you miss hot Dog Day, I said
to Bellios, something's going on.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I saw the I saw the KJLA news. To start
with the fact that the video starts with the guy
that missus hot Dog Day, there's a problem.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The fact that you got stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
We're gonna have to rename you out of the Wolverine.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I think it's I think it's.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
The preservatives and the hot dogs.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
That you Wait, it might it might be because the
the first day when I was in the ICU, the
team that did it told me, in not so many words,
you made us earn our paycheck with that first surgery.
It was so like rough and it was so complicated
and so yeah, and it continues that way. They just
(08:43):
keep saying, it's kind of miraculous how much you're healing
and how much your your body is trying to just
heal itself on its own with the help of surgery,
of course. But they're like, they keep just telling me like, yeah,
you got some kind of miraculous something in your DNA.
So yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well so you're young too, you know, in your thirties.
Wait till you get in your sixties and try to accident,
you know, yeah, don't just push you back into the car.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
That helps. And that was the other thing.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
When I was sitting down and I was worried about work,
and then I saw my car go up in flames.
I'm like, damn, man, I lost my car. Like that sucks.
And I was so bummed out, and I was just like,
what am I gonna do? How am I gonna I
was already thinking, well, first of all, I thought that
(09:34):
I was going to go back to work yesterday, oh wow.
And I thought I was like, yeah, there'll just be
like two surgeries. I'll just do some therapy, I'll go home.
And they're like, yeah, you're gonna have a couple more surgeries.
Oh my god, just be prepared for that.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Steph USh is with us from the hospital U C
l A. Harbor right, Yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Was it weird to see when you're watching TV. You
saw yourself on Kate.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
That was a trip. I was just like, to see
me in this like reporter version of everything was just
kind of my mind blowing. I couldn't believe that that
was actually happening. And I like, and you like it too,
that all these you know, reporters and articles are actually
(10:21):
calling me the foos.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, Rick Chamber is a very serious news guy here
in LA for thirty years, is calling you the fooche.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, so that was pretty hilarious. And I think it's
really cute that they're just like, well, they got their
information correct, so.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
That's good, you know, that's grand.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And it was. And I listened to your clip from
Petris and Money and man, that was so funny and
like and the fact that Crow said that Patris was
the first guy to really point out that something was wrongs. Yeah,
so I thought that was really sweet of him. And
you know, so my best to him, and I love
the whole thing with him, him and Kate's and like,
(11:01):
well what Kates do if you guys are missing when
you go to his house and all this stuff, and
so yeah, it was just amazing.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Man.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I just like and and real quick to the fans.
I mean, I can't You couldn't ask for better listeners.
You couldn't ask for a better radio family with you
you guys included. But you know the fact that they're
just reaching into their hearts and their wallets and the
prayers and the support and the love. It's really just
(11:30):
it's my mom hates this word, but it's surreal. I
can't believe that it's a real thing. And I'm just
shocked every day at it when I see the gofund
me and I can't believe it. And yeah, so I
just I think everyone, every single person, from the bottom
of my heart.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, I didn't know your mom hated that term. I'll
stop using that.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
With her, Okay, Yeah, she'll appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Also.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know when on last Thursday when we couldn't find you,
I was just going to do a cursory drive by
and say I looked for you and then go to
the Hustler casino and that I got caught up in
all that drama.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I Hustler is like ten minutes away.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
No kidding, I know exactly. It was on my ways
exact buddy, you know your friend, I know you're a
big fan of the Whatody Show? What he donated one
thousand dollars to the GoFundMe.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You know, I saw that the day that it happened.
I could not believe that. I was floored. I almost
started crying. And then when Greg Gory read the story
about me, I was just like, are you kidding me?
And again my name and then followed by the foosh,
yeah you know our sister station KFI, Like that was
(12:40):
just the coolest thing ever. And they're because they're real.
I mean, they're what they are on radio is what
they are in real life. They're thank you, the coolest
blow down to people, and so are we, I believe.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, yeah, it must have been you know, listening to
what he talked about you, it must have been uh
well sorry, surreal.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
It was surreal. I could not believe that that was
actually happening. And when my mom played that for me,
when she got Sharing Center to the clip, I was
it lit my heart. I made my whole day. And
that's the day when I went through a lot of
pain later in the day because there were some complications
and I was in pain for almost a good hour.
(13:21):
But like, think of the worst pain in your life,
and yeah it was it was rough, but yeah that
made my day.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Well, when you jump out, you're going to have at
least one hundred and three thousand and seven dollars that
people have raised to help you get by and get
back up on your feet.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
But when we talk about people, we mean at least
sixteen hundred people that just donated on the gofund me alone.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Brother, So you are loved throughout.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
That is unreal. I can't believe the love. I can't
believe how much people care. I always just try to
step in and do a good show and do my
best at there, and I don't complain, and you know,
obviously part of it is to have fun, and we
definitely have a lot of fun. So I'm just so
I'm just so overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of everything,
(14:06):
just you know, the overall support you guys are just incredible.
There's no words I can use.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
If you get out before the summer is over, we'll
buzz down to del Mar.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I'll double that for you.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Okay, Yeah, I think that's gonna I think that'll be
a plan.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
There you go, buddy, I know your you want to
get some rest and your mom said only a maximum
of you know, three hours, you can come on with us,

full motion back.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
But we're praying for it, man, and I'm glad you
guys are too.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
We're live on CAFI if I am sick forty Convoy
show Alex Stone as well.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
As Maybec News. How you bub man? The foosh sounds good?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
What is that? Is unbelievable? Yeah, that's great. It sounds
like he's doing really well.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He would have burned in his car alive if it
wasn't for those good smartans Man.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
And I remember that, what was that Wednesday when the
whole creworried about where he was? Yeah, yeah, Thursday, you said, yeah, yeah,
and when nobody knew where he was and wasn't showing
up to.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Work, and we couldn't say anything on the air because
we didn't want to alarm his friends or his parents
or Anyboddy.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, we couldn't get a hold of anything, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
On his emergency card, Alex, he put down his mom's name,
but he put down his own cell number. Oh yeah,
so that's not helpful. When he gets back, we're gonna
have to give him a tutorial.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And that phone, as he just told you, it was
in the car and he couldn't get to That's right.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
When when I was younger, in third grade and we
had to fell out emergency cards, you know those yellow
emergency cars. Yeah, I thought I just assumed, because my
mom was always there, that she worked at Bullocks, And
so I just put down Bullocks and their phone number,
And man, did that piss her off?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Today's world? Walmart or Target? That's right. They're paging your
mom at Walmart.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
That's right. And you know what, they probably would have
founder at Bullocks too, So I think I nail it. Hey,
so you're these little Boo Boo dolls are unbelievable. I
don't have a lot of them, but you've got a collection.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Well my daughter has one now, but my personal collection, yeah,
I mean I've only got what twenty of them somewhere
around there. These are the in things right now and
they make zero sense. But you know, it goes back
to like the beanie babies back in the day, or
cabbage patch dolls or any of those things. I mean,
even baseball cards in some way. But they're these little
stuffed animal monsters with the big teeth and the big eyes,
(17:32):
and they've got a hook on them so they can
be like a keychain or hooked onto a backpack. But
because of the demand right now, and they can sell
on the secondary market and in like the mall. If
you go to the mall right now, you'll find them
for like eighty bucks. And they're these little tiny stuffed
animal things that they are in high demand, and they're
all over social media. People are waiting in lines to
get them. And to somebody who isn't in it, they
(17:55):
make absolutely no sense. But toy experts say that the
hook of these things is you never know what you're
going to get when you take it out of the box.
You know, the addition that you're getting the general idea.
But the idea is to collect all of these things,
and that kids and teenagers and I guess adults as well.
That is the poll. This guy's a toy expert. He
kind of explained to.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
You buy them through a blind box system, which is
a system where essentially, if you don't know what's in
the box, you hope that what's in the box is
what you want. You don't get what you want, you
got to go buy another one. A lot of folks
have sort of likened that sort of system almost gambling.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, sonyay.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
Bottom line that now all these burglaries are going on
and thieves know where the money is and it's in
La Boo Boos right now. So this week in Upland
they made a bust. Thirty thousand dollars worth of Labooboos
have been stolen from a warehouse. Last week in La Puente,
seven thousand dollars worth of La Boo Boos were taken
from a resale shop. They completely they blew out the window,
(18:51):
went in bypassed all the electronics to cash the other merchandise,
just to take the Labuo Boo dolls that they're worth
so much right now. So it's a hot item. And
say that's the craze right now. The thieves want what
they're gonna make money off of right now, it's lab
Boo Boos.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
It's probably gonna be the big Christmas item as well.
You know, Alex, we went too long with Steph Fush,
but we.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Got to take off.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But I really appreciate you coming on and then thanks
for the good wishes for Steph fush Absolutely, you got it,
all right, you're the best, Thanks Bob. All right, there
he goes Alex Stone with ABC News. That's gonna be
a hot item for this Christmas. La Boo boo dolls.
Not anybody who has him. No, there's somebody works here
that has. My daughter and my kid's mom are all
(19:32):
about them. They every day there's a new one coming
in the mail. Really yeah, they like bid on them.
There's a there's websites where people bid on them. It's insane.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Oh my god, you can't shut that down. I can't. No,
it's not my money.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
All right, we're live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Kf I Am six forty. It is the Conway Program.
We got to talk to Steph Fuche at four o'clock.
So if you miss that, go back and podcast that.
That guy's hot. He's in the news right now. He's
hotter in hell. You know, he got into a major wreck,
almost died. He would have died if wasn't for the
Good Samaritans, and he made it. And now I just
(20:20):
got to get his arm back together and to be
back to work. It might be funny Crozier if he
does come back and he's at the board and there's
nothing but f ups, you know, the micro out and.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Could you please not press that I'm talking? Thank you?
Because he's left handed, you know, Yeah, that's what I
didn't know that either. Did he say he was left handed?
Somebody said he was. I think his I think his
betan he's right.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Now, Well, he's got to learn everything with his right hand.
You know, that's very difficult to do. You're trying to
throw a baseball with your off hand. God, you look
like you know, something that's crawled out of a swamp.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's hard to do. Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
That's why I have such a tremendous amount of respect
for switch hitters. Yeah, not in you know, swinger clubs,
but in baseball. Don't have any respect for them.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
They're not really Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
I was ambidexterous until I was about six, and then
is that right?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
And then my parents said you got to pick, and
I chose left. Oh you're left hand. I didn't know that. Yeah,
you're right, left handed? I do. I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Now it's like as much as I might have been
ambidextrous before. Nah, they don't even look at and ain't
nothing happening.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Don't take this personally, but I think I left These
are odd. They are, I am I mean, but they're
all like a like a not in a bad way,
but they're all either really successful or they're in death row.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I mean, they live life extremes. That's right. They're not
the middle ground. There's us boring writings. You don't just
go through.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You know, you work at a Cuba gole for thirty years,
you get a retirement and you die.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
But the lefties, man, they go for it. We do.
I think most musicians are lefties.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
A lot of them are. Yeah, Jimi Hendrix, that's right.
Although we played a right handed guitar. Wait, do they
make left handed right handed guitars?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Yes, I don't know. I have two left handed guitars
right hand, but I play left e guitar. Is that right?
Speaker 9 (22:28):
Yeah, that's the I'm weirdly like certain activities.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I'm ambidextions. I play drums right handed. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Wait, who is that of the voice? That's me sam
Oh Sam. I didn't see your videos down.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
No, I see myself. I'm here just to wait for
me to figure out who you were. I'm substitute Foosh substitu.
That's uh, that's great, man. I hope that guy does
get better soon.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Man.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
But I I I want anybody who has a computer
right now, go to a Google right and then just
put in define the E F I N E and
define and then put phosh f oo s h, which
is Steph Fosh's nickname. Okay, yeah, just put in foush
define foush f oo s h. Put it on your
(23:18):
computer so you know I'm not lying to you. And
foosh f oo s h stands for it's a medical
term stands for fall on outstretched hand. What are the
odds of that.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
That we call the foosh?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And that's a medical term for falling on an outstretched hand.
It's a term to describe a common type of injury
that occurs when a person is driving on the one
oh five freeway and I starts doing cartwheels.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
My daughter City, she broke her wrists maybe six times.
She was no girl. She had some condition that she
was very susceptible to it. And when all this stuff
was going on and we found out all this information
started coming in on Friday.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
My daughter she texted me and goes.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Oh my god, I fooched my wrists six times when
I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I had never heard that term before.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
That's crazy. And so some people are asking where that
term came from. I'll and I'll try to tell you,
but I don't really know the whole story. My wife
has a friend named Stephanie and Stephanie Drew. They've been
friends since third grade, childhood friends. I'm sorry before that.
I think they knew each other in Kindergard and they're
still friends there. She's a great lady, lives up in Oregon.
(24:40):
I've done her for a long time, probably well over
twenty five years. And her name is Stephanie. And for
some reason she drove down here to drive up to
Oregon with my wife. I just called her Stephousch. I
don't know why and where they came from or how
it started. And I just gave her the nickname steph Ouche.
And then and stephan started here. I couldn't understand what
(25:02):
his name was, Stefan. It's st e f a n
stephan Stefan. So I said, ah, you're just steph Fush
and people could start calling him the Foushe, but people
are uncomfortable calling him that, Like Shannon Farren can't call
him that. She didn't, She says she doesn't feel close
enough to call him the foush.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
And I tried giving him another nickname initially, like I
think Sharon was a big fan of Wolf, right, which
is what he's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
But you know, yeah, you know in my cell phone,
she gave him that nickname so early on. In my
cell phone, he's listed under the Wolf, under the Wolf. Yeah,
strue story. I'll show it to you. I'll prove to
you again that I'm not lying. Got do that a
lot your phone, man, Yeah, but that's it. It's locked in.
So I'm going to show you this on the video
(25:47):
camera w LF. And then oh look, how about this, buddy,
I have Stefan's Stephan's mom is wolf mom, and steph.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Uche is Wolf. Look there's I.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
If I type in wolf at the top, there those
two names come up.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
That's great. And I don't even know what it means.
He's not the Wolf. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But Pellio just text me she's home. She was really
emotional over Steph fush taste. She couldn't come in.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
The wolf tried to make that stick.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh, I see, Stephan he liked, Yeah, he didn't like
the foush and he wanted to make that stick. And
I feel bad for Moe Kelly because Moe goes back
and forth. You know, he doesn't he doesn't feel like
you know, he has he owns the foosh or comfortable
with the foosh. So he goes back with Stefan and
then in so I apologize I might be the cause
(26:44):
of this accident, you know, calling him the fush and
he was, you know, wildly depressed over it.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
This is just Rick Chambers from kt LA, just the
way he says it.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's just like, yeah, when we come back, I'll play
that for you.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
It's Rick Chambers who's had an unbelievable career on NBC.
Then he went to cbsk CAL and then he went
to KTLA and I think he's going to probably wrap
up his career on KTLA's at some year in the future.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But that guy's great.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
That guy's been around for an awful long time and
he was with us when David Cash was in the
news with Jeremy Stromyer when Jeremy stro Meyer killed Shurise
Iverson at State Line back in nineteen ninety nine or
two thousand and we did a big story on that
at Kala Sex. Rick Chambers was the first guy to
come out there and interview us for that, and he
(27:38):
was the only guy that came up this time as well.
So Rick Chambers with KTLA, you're the only guy that said, hey,
I think we can help you try to find the
heroes that save Steph Fuche. And you did it. Without
Rick Chambers, we'd never found those guys. Never Without KTLA.
There's no way, no way. And now we know who
they are and they're coming in Thursday thanks to Sandra
(28:02):
Mitchell and Rick Chambers. And Michael Olman was on as well.
He was the anchor. Those are a very sweet gentlemen.
Oh there's a ninety seven by the way, was it
ninety seven? David Cash?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Wow? On the Borderline? That was the first year.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I started in December of nineteen ninety six, So there
was it must have been August?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Was it August? May? Was it May? Okay? But but
when we went to late May was when it happened.
When it happened, okay, I see you're right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Then in late August we went to when he when
David Cash went to school. We were like, wait, minute,
how is this kid going to school where he didn't
report his friend who killed a six year old? What's
going on with Berkeley? And we all took a bus
up there and I had a huge, huge week. All right,
we're live on KFI. We'll come back out play the
Rick Chambers part where he refers to the step on
(28:49):
the foods. We're live on KFI KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
We're live every Monday through Friday, four to seven pm.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
They want me to tell you that I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I guess you could have figured that out by now,
But I guess we always get new listeners.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Is that true? Krozier? We always getting new listeners always
the cycle.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
People die and they fade away and we get new
ones so they move out of state.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I don't know how many times, like on our social
media will have people that will leave comments saying that
their parents made them when they were little kids listened
to us, and now they voluntarily listened.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
To us gleefully. Is that right? Absolutely? Wow? I didn't
know that that's kind of a cool deal, very much.
All right. So steph Fusche was.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Pretty banged up with this, you know, with this car
crash that he was in, and they refer to him
on KTLA News as the Foush, which is odd. Michael Olman,
who's a season anchor, has been around for I don't know,
twenty thirty forty years, Rick Chambers thirty forty years, and
(29:56):
they took his nickname the Foosh and ran with it.
This was on KTLA and this is how we found
the heroes that saved steph Ush's life. So thank you
to KTLA. It's a that everyone over there deserves. An
added boy, I don't know who the news director over
there is it. Is it still Ball?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Is his name? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't know, but maybe he's pressed on. I'll have
to ask some of my buddies work over there. Got
to give the news director some mod Yeah, is it
Jason Ball still over there?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
That's what it says. Really, I thought he moved on.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
No no, no, no no no, I'm seeing a little
bit older one older or newer article it' says life
after So yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Oh man, maybe I should go over there all right here.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
It is Stephush being called Stephush on KTLA KTLA channel five.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
By the way, Big Dog, is this a computer on Sammy? Thanks?
Speaker 10 (30:51):
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 1 (31:05):
Now the show's host is praising the good Samaritans and
hoping more people will follow their lead.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
Rick Chambers Live in Burbank with a dramatic video and
the reaction tonight. Rick Micah, 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 (31:27):
In radio, if a guy misses Hot Dog Day, that's
an emergency.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
It's a big red flat. That's true, by the way,
totally true. Guy missus.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
It was about Hot Dog Day and anybody in radio
missus hot Dog Day, they're they're gone.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Appears to be Erica Hill Rodriguez. Is that right, Perica
Hill rodriguezes a woman. Yes, she came from. Where did
she come from. So she came from further up the street.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Off to write her a note. Wait, give me that
name again.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Erica Hill Rodriguez. She was a news director at key
T TV.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Rodriguez for Kate Tayling Kate k T TV, and then
she went to Kat Taling.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Right, Okay, thanks both.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
In radio, if a guy misses hot Dog Day, that's
an emergency.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
It's a big red flat.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
This is that guy that he's referring to, Stephan Cabasis
or stepf Fouche to the Conway audience. He didn't show
up for work yesterday at KFI Radio. He's a technical
director here, but he didn't call or message.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh we did three hours yesterday in panicking and trying
to figure out where this guy was.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
True, I like never seen anything like that.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
This is where Fouche was in that burning car up
on the one oh five connector to the one ten Freeway.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
I think what.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Happened was he was changing lanes, somebody cut him off
and he hit the guard rail.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
The car flipped over and caught fire.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Stephan's mom tells me that his arm was trapped outside
the window as that car was rolling over.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Okay, so he referred to as Stephan there, Stephan's mom,
Stephen's mom.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
But these three still unidentified good Samaritans pulled the fish
from the car before he burned a death.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
The God takes the strength out of it, absolutely does. Yeah,
you know, Bozo would have burned in the car if
it wasn't for these great Samaritans. Bozo, it's kind of
an odd odd I don't think anyone has ever said that.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
Before, pulled the fish from the car before he burned
to death.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
That's never been said before. There's no way in the
history of the world that's been said before. Nobody has
ever said that pulled the food. Rick Rick Chambers was
the first guy'd ever say this.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Pulled the fish from the car before he burned to death,
and an unknown woman applied a tourniquet to his mangled arm.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Who was the thing we talked about with Harvey Cornan
police say that food, that's his impression of me. That's
the only thing they used. His impression of me. Who
was the thing we talked about with Harvey Corman.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Police say that Foush wouldn't have made it without the
help of those strangers.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Threw the fush out of him again, police.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Say that Fush wouldn't have made it without the help
of those strangers, But so make matters worse. Steph's I
d burned in the crash. He was here at Harbor
UCLA Medical Center for eight hours before family and friends
even knew he was hurt. Wow, folks at KFI thought
they had lost him.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Oh Rick, I thought he was gone. I thought it
was over. I had the worst, worst feeling in the world.
But Foosh, that's an old trick.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
By the way, when you use the guy's the reporter's name,
whatever you say afterwards, he's gonna guys like to hear
their names on the air. Oh yeah, absolutely, Oh Jim,
you know he talked Jim Hill. Oh Jim, the game.
The game is unbelievable. I learned that my dad.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Oh Rick, I thought he was gone. I thought it
was over. I had the worst worst feeling of the world.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
But Fush will survive. He had his second surgery today,
was in the.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Icy Do you hear that he gave him the fush again.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
But Fush will survive.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Fousch he goes the fush, Foush, and stephoos. She has
three nicknames, Fush, the Foosh, and Stepho.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
He had his second surgery today, was in the ICU
on a ventil later.
