Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF I Am six and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Big Dog with You.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
There was a lost dog that was found in Mission
Viejo Animal Services. They used a drone to reunite the
dog with the owner. Is the new way of finding
a dog when your dog's missing. And that's the worst man,
if you ever had that happen. You leave a door open,
or you know, the gate open, and that dog disappears. Ah,
(00:37):
your heart stops and that's all you can think about
trying to get that doll gieback. Well, in this case,
happy end days.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
West dog ran away in the dark on Wednesday night
and darted into some steep foothills where there are coyotes
and mountain lions. But after more than twenty four hours
on the run, her family finally has her back home.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yes, you were lost.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The German shepherd is recovering at home, licking her pause
because they're still wrong from the epic truck she took
through the Mission Viajo Hills.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
As she jumped the fence, something had either spooked her
or she was just hyper sensitive.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Luckily, she had a new air tag on.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Her collar, so when Mollie told me that she was gone.
I was able to see where she was in ken
at Hill's.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Maybe she was just tired of three D house of
slow talkers and the dog took off.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
God almighty.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So when Mollie told me that she.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Was gone, right then what happened?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I was able to see where she was.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And then what happened after that.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
And Kennin at Hill's Great.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Get right on, the family needs some coffee.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Paul and m cabe went to the remote area immediately
and spotted Josie. But to her surprise, when she called
out to her dog, she ran away.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh not a good sign. Not a good sign when
the dog's not into you.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
She just kept darting ah and she it's like she
wasn't listening to anything.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
In order to catch this little scaredy cat, they would
need to get creative. So the family asked chat GBT
what to do.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
So yesterday we were able to pinpoint. I'm using the
infrared sensors.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And it recommended calling Mission Viejo Animal Services.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
We're able to get a heat sing like the buzzards
or eating that dog. We're able to get a heat
signature on the dog. We followed it for about a mile.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
We connected with animal services manager Kyle Werner and luckily
he had a thermal imaging drone donated by the Dedicated
Animal welfare group.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's a cool deal.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And you know you're living in a wealthy community when
the whole community brings out the drones that heat seeking
drones to find your dog. And deployed it in North Hollywood.
You take your dog out and it just eats meth
off the street a little difference difference.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And deployed it over the area where Josie's air tag
was pinging.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
And we coordinated with the owner on the cell phone
to a position where she could get in front of
the dog.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
He coached Paula on how to sit down, avoid eye contact,
and speak softly, creating a safe space for Josie to
recognize her mama's voice and come to her.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
And then you can see there's a shift in the
dog's demeanor and immediately ran up to the owner.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Wow, it's a great story, really touching.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
So even after twenty years that things like that.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Really, crows are getting close.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Even after twenty years that things like that really you
know or why we do this job?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I can get teary eye. Next, I was just really
distrug She.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Gave Kylee a big hug, thanking him for his kindness.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
They made me feel so important and so cared for
and he was so good and just so patient, and honestly,
I couldn't have done it without him and his drone.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Josie's vet gave her a little something for her anxiety
and fixed.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Up her pause.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
As for why she ran away in the first place,
she's not ready to talk is.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Not completely the same.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
She's a little bit like like a little like loopy
because she's on like these medications and stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
But I'm just happy to have her home.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
And Kyle says, they have a lot of open space
in this area, so this technology is a game changer
for finding lost pets. That's cool, reporting in Mission vah
nicolecom Stock CBSLA.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, that's a good story. It ends with the
dog coming home.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's great. I had a girlfriend in.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The later eighties early nineties and she was out of
town and I would go check on her dog, and
her neighbor, who was her best friend, was dog sitting
and you would go over there every hour or so
and check on the dog. And she took that dog
up to Laurel Canyon to a dog park on her own.
(05:05):
You know, my girlfriend didn't ask her to do that,
and the dog got away, and now the dog is
up in like Runyon Canyon, and I'm partially responsible, you know.
I felt like I was responsible. So I literally, for
two straight days, twelve hours a day, walked through Laurel
(05:26):
Canyon from Laurel Camp from Ventura Boulevard to Mulholland. I
walked Laurel Canyon up and down, calling that dog's name
for two straight days, probably twelve hours a day, to
the point where LAPD pulled up on me. I was
walking through the streets and LAPD pulled up and they
turned their lights on and said, hey, what are you
doing here? And I said, I'm looking for a dog,
(05:49):
and I showed him. I showed the woman. It was
a police officer, a lady, and I said, I'm looking
for this dog, that it's my girlfriend's dog, but I'm
partially responsible. And she was, oh, I just looked lost
a dog as well. We'll keep an eye out on
for it, out for it. I said, okay. So I
was exhausted after two days and I finally sat down
(06:09):
on Laurel Canyon Boulevard, about halfway between Ventura and Maulholland,
about two miles or a mile and a half.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
From where this dog originally disappeared.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And I sat down on the curb, totally exhausted, called
a friend to come pick me up.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I just couldn't find this dog.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And as I'm sitting there waiting for the friend to
pick me up, that dog comes out of the ivy
and sits next to me.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Haha.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen before
in my life.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I heard like some rustling around in the bushes. I thought, okay,
it's a coyote or a snake or I don't know,
you know, a guy trying to rob a house. And
the dog comes right out of the bushes and sat
right next to me.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And I got that dog back for her. I was
like the hero of the day. I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But man, when you lose a dog and it's out
there in the wild, you do everything you can to
get that dogie back because you're scared to death that
something's going to happen to that dog. But thing dog
with that dog, and they do it right in Mission Viejo.
Are you Angel, you near that place where this dog
was lost?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not too far away that because I
Wasn't it pretty close to the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter. Yes,
it was running around, that's right. Yeah, that's not too
far away. Great facility. And those heat seeking drones. That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I mean, you know, the technology now, there's so much
more technology to finding your dog now than the old school.
Old school, as you put up posters all of the
neighborhood and everyone ignores them. And now you have the
heat seeking drones, and you also have I think it's
one of these pet coo or one of these places,
(08:00):
has a database where you can enter your dog's information
and then it scans all the databases around the country
to try to get your dog back. There's a million
ways to get it back now. But old school a
couple posters, you know, reward, and nobody calls. Everybody just
ignores those posters.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Weird Weather this week.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Today was ninety degrees in the San Fernando Valley ninety
on Friday, seventy percent chance of rain, and the low
is fifty two. The highest sixty three degrees ninety today,
sixty three on Thursday and Friday sixty three. That's incredible.
(08:48):
I know Chicago's getting hit by unbelievable weather. It was
in the high teens of the low twenties there over
the weekend. If you're off to New York, you know
you're gonna chance it. With air traffic control. It's gonna
be thirty two degrees in New York City on Saturday.
That's the low. Thirty two in New York City, freezing.
(09:11):
Huntington Beach, Orange County Beaches, La County Beaches seventy four today,
sixty three on Friday, eighty percent, chances of rain on Friday,
seventy five percent chants of rain on Thursday. So Thursday
and Friday are going to be soaking wet, and then
the weekend looks like it's going to be dry. And
(09:31):
then Monday of forty percent chants of rain for most
of southern California.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
All right, let's go to Big Bear. Let's find out
what's going on with Big Bear.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
The low in Big Bear this weekend or I'm sorry,
next Tuesday is thirty one degrees. The low is the
high is forty two this Friday. It was sixty eight
there today and it's going to be forty two this Friday.
That's gonna be the high in the mountains. Thirty five
is the low, forty two it was the high. A
(10:01):
difference of twenty six degrees in literally three days. Twenty
six degrees. So just deal with it. I guess I
twenty four degrees if you're going to Detroit or Cleveland tomorrow,
twenty four degrees freezing for you know, mid November, not
(10:23):
even mid November if you're a ski bum like Bellio
used to be before she got married. She got married
on a Saturday, and I think she sold all her
ski equipment either that night or the next day.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I think it was the next day.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's gonna be twenty five degrees on Friday in Mammoth
and snowing. Fifty five percent chance of snow in Mammoth
on Friday. Thursday ninety percent chance of rain slash snow.
And then Friday fifty five percent chance of snow in Mammoth.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's a lot at your weather. Now back to the program,
all right, big dog with you. All right, let's talk
about the air traffic school. You can become a very
important person in this country. I think we've learned that
over the last forty or forty one days that air
traffic controllers have a lot of power in this country.
They can shut down travel, they can shut down the
(11:22):
grid by just calling out sick. And they now know it.
They've got all the power. And maybe you can be
one of these people. Go to air traffic school.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
Why am I helping a plane take off at runway
twenty eight right cleared for takeoff because it's part of
an air traffic control training simulation. Recent near missus in
the sky wait takeoff and collisions on the tarmac.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Saves those are is an aircraft that collided with us?
Speaker 11 (11:48):
Are putting air traffic controllers in the spotlight.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You can be an air traffic controller.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And by the way, if you have to ask if
they drug test, maybe you're not the air traffic type.
Maybe you should die, you know, look for something.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
At Arby's, the head of the Air Traffic Union warned
that the government shutdown is putting the flying public at risk.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And this introduces a new risk to aviation.
Speaker 12 (12:13):
Air traffic controllers are supposed to mitigate risk.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Charlie.
Speaker 11 (12:17):
The shortage in air traffic controllers is so serious some
towers have had to temporarily close, like the one at
Burbank Airport in LA.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, that's a big deal here.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
When they closed in Burbank, lot of delays, a lot
of canceled flights.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
The pilot couldn't believe it when he recently came in
for a landing.
Speaker 13 (12:37):
Four local.
Speaker 12 (12:38):
The tower will be closed for stacking, reopen at ten pm.
Speaker 11 (12:42):
It takes about three years for someone to be certified.
And what it takes about three years for someone to
be certified, we's.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Got that kind of time. Three years. Who's going to
even who thinks they're going to even be alive in
three years?
Speaker 11 (12:54):
Fight an air traffic controller. The training is intense, as
I found out at von too intent.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
If you ask me three years of intense training to
make what forty two grand?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Fifty grand roller? The training is intense, way too intense.
Three years, three years.
Speaker 11 (13:13):
As I found out at VOND College near New York's
Laguardy at airport.
Speaker 13 (13:17):
So we haven't arrival, we see him coming in mm hmm, okay,
and we're going to say that he's cleared to land exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I hope this is a simulator and this reporter isn't
just directing traffic.
Speaker 13 (13:28):
It's hard when they're talking to you and you have
to you ignore them and you say something else.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
She's not up for it. I wouldn't hire her next, next.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Right, because only one transmission can happen at a time.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You have to wait for them to finish before you
can transmit.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (13:43):
Then they threw me into the deep end.
Speaker 13 (13:45):
So it's very dark and foggy now, but we still
can clear them to land.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yes, God Almighty, I hope this isn't really happening in
a tower where this reporter is and it's really foggy.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Should I just tell this cat to land? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
The aircraft are using the instruments in the cockpit to
guide the plane into the runway.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
SkyWest four four eight nine Academy Tower, Runway twenty eight right,
cleared to land.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
How did I do?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Bang? See that cartwheel on runway twenty four left?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's what you did. Yeah, that's a seven thirty seven
doing a cartwheel. It wasn't funny, it was you know,
thirty eight forty eight people day, Hey, baby, baby, please.
Speaker 11 (14:27):
I would call you a natural absolutely, Oh, thank you
so much, But it was just so much to keep
track of all I was it's your job, and you
get into a rhythm when you're doing it. Even through
the government shutdown, Vaughan says they can keep training more
students to get them into control towers faster.
Speaker 13 (14:43):
What makes this program so necessary for this moment in time.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Well, you have a severe shortage of controls throughout the country,
and the FA Academy and Oklahoma can only train so
many people at a time.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oh, you got to go to Oklahoma. Wait, you have
to go to Oklahoma for three years to become an
air traffic controller. Hell, I wonder there's nobody out there
doing this.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Students here are paying their full way get this train,
as opposed.
Speaker 12 (15:08):
To the academy where they are paid to do the job.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
All right, Well, if you want to be an air
traffic controller, that sounds like a decent job. You got
a lot of power, but it is a hell of
a commitment. Three years in Oklahoma that's just to start,
and then you're probably an apprentice for a while, for
two or three years.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's test number one. If you're willing to do this,
you might have a shot.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's true, that's true, get out there and then do that,
and I guess it's pretty rewarding, you know, until two
planes run into each other, and then it's.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Not about stress. Man, Oh my god, damn.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I mean, every night you go home, you have to
have dreams of you screwing up, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Bad enough here having dreams doing this.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I have dreams every single day that I'm late for
work and I can't get to work late. Oh okay, yeah,
that I call in and nobody's answering the phone and
I'm listening to John, you know, wrap up his show
and I can't get there.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Almost every day or every night, I have that dream.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I still have DJ dreams, like the record runs out
and I don't have another one queued up.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Everybody's looking at me. You know what else is really weird.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I have a dream almost i'd say three times a
week that I'm in Costco and I can't figure out
how to get out. I mean, I've paid for everything
and I don't know where the door is.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Is that a nightmare or the real dream?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's odd that I have at least three nights a
week I've dreamed that I'm in Costco. You know, different scenarios,
but always in Costco. It's an odd, odd situation. Odd bird,
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 10 (16:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
All right, it's going to be hot today, or it
was hot today, Gonna be a little warm tomorrow, and
then it's going to drop off on Thursday and Friday.
Lots of rain and cold weather coming into southern California,
so be prepared for that. Uh, there's a warning out there.
Call I think it's kratum. Is that how you pronounce that?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
That?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
The drug kretum k r A T O M. And
it can wipe you out, can wipe you out.
Speaker 14 (17:25):
It's sold as.
Speaker 15 (17:26):
A natural way to relax, alleviate pain and even depression.
And you can even buy it at some local gas stations.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Well so far it sounds great. You can relieve tension,
pain and it's sold at a gas station.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
The actual pronunciation is kradom cradam, yeah, cradam. All right,
all right, the Krozier. Have you seen it sold? I've
not seen it my gas station.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's sold as.
Speaker 15 (17:52):
A natural way to relax alleviate pain and even depression.
And you can even buy it at some local gas stations.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Now I want to try it, but.
Speaker 15 (17:59):
Health officials is not as harmless as it seems.
Speaker 12 (18:02):
There's pills, there's powders, there's capsules, and make it in drinks.
Speaker 15 (18:06):
Jackson Gray works at a smoke shop in the San
Fernando Valley that sounds creatom, sometimes called.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Seven Oh she got it wrong? Yes, wait, so we
all got it wrong, but you got it right. We
all she just got it wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I got it right, she got it right. You got
it wrong with cradam? Is that how you pronounce it? No, dude,
you're on, You're on. I think you're on Crowdom.
Speaker 15 (18:26):
That sounds cretom, sometimes called seven ozer.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
We sell shots. You can get them around like nine
ten dollars.
Speaker 15 (18:33):
It's a health supplement some people use to help with
pain and anxiety.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
When I'd like to try this.
Speaker 12 (18:38):
Used it before, I'm like, oh my back plane's gone.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Guys singing that my tone air used.
Speaker 12 (18:44):
It before, I'm like, oh my back Plane's gone. So
there is some use there. Do I think anybody should
just be able to buy as much as they want.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yes, probably, not ah, damn, I got that wrong.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
Probably not.
Speaker 15 (18:55):
Cretim's used as controversial. It's illegal to import and has
been linked to seizures and depths, including six in La
County in recent months. The La County Department of Health
says inspectors will be pulling the product from store shelves
next week.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Oh, I got to get in there quick if you
want this stuff, because.
Speaker 15 (19:11):
If its dangers, including acting as an opioid at high levels.
Speaker 12 (19:14):
If you overdose on on the on you can, actually
it'll stop your respirations.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
You can actually much let me stop your your what.
Speaker 12 (19:22):
You can actually it'll stop your respirations.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You can stop your respirations.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
You can actually much like to do if you overdose on.
Speaker 15 (19:30):
On HEREM Nutritional expert doctor Terry Simpson with Dignity Health
Saint John's Hospital and Oxnard says it's highly addictive.
Speaker 12 (19:38):
This is one of those things where I think we
actually need a nationwide regulation of that because with nationwide
regulations much likely regulate even the most minor prescription medications.
It allows there to be more control. It has to
be prescribed by a doctor.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
Back at the smoke shop, Gray says he always tells
customers what they're buying and warns them about.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The Yes, back at the smoke shop. Look at the
smoke shop. Back at the smoke shop.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
He also feels other products on the shelves could be
even more dangerous and they're still unregulated.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I've had a run in with one of those gas
station you know, they're sold in the gas station. They're
always at the counter, and they claim to be you know,
very sort of severe. You know, like if you're suffering
from so and so, take this. I was driving my wife,
(20:31):
my daughter, and my wife's two sisters from Portland back
to Los Angeles. I was driving those four women. Well,
one was a tiny girl, she was four or five
at the time, and then the others were adult women.
And we leave the house in Oregon, and a mile
(20:56):
from the house, two of the four women in the
car say they have to go to the bathroom. We
have a thousand mile trip in front of us, and
before we get to the freeway, I've got to stop
a minute from where we were all day because two
of them have to go to the bathroom. Like, oh,
this could be a long ass trip. Long ass trip.
(21:19):
So we drive all the way down from Portland. If
you know the area. We drive all the way down
to Shasta to that area, and we're going to stay
overnight in Shasta. But about two hours before we get
to Shasta, I'm driving and I'm falling asleep, and I've
got four people in my car plus me. So I
(21:41):
pull over and I buy something called a bumblebee. Never
heard of this before in my life. I guess it's
just all caffeine, and I take it and I'm up.
I'm up, and I drive all the way to Redding.
We pass Shasta and we drive to Redding. We get
there about ten o'clock at night. I go to sleep
around eleven o'clock because I got to get up early
and drive the five hundred miles and then I got
(22:04):
to work that night. So I go to bed at
eleven o'clock and I stared at the ceiling from eleven
pm until six am, never once closed my eyes.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I don't know what the hell was in this thing,
but I was up.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I was up, and then I got all the four
I got the four people in the car, and I
drove home, dropped them all off, and then went to work,
where I was working seven to ten at the time,
and I worked till ten o'clock and then I went
home and I couldn't sleep at all until about five
o'clock in the morning. So I was literally up for
(22:38):
about maybe almost forty five hours. So whatever the hell
was in that thing called the bumblebee, it works, but
it works really too well, too well. You gotta be
careful taking that kind of crap. I literally sat in
bed and not even frustrated. I'm like, okay, there's no
way I'm asleep and stared at the ceiling from eleven
(22:59):
PM until six am, and then drove five miles like
I and I had a great energy. It was unbelievable,
but not good for you. I came when I crashed
on this thing. I was in bed probably for eighteen
straight hours. It's not the way to go through life.
Not the way to go through life. Too tough on
your body, way too tough.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
We have a poll up on Twitter that Bellio was
kind enough to ace up on Twitter, and it asks
are you a talker on airplay? And then you got
four options. One of them is I'm a talker? Number
two I don't talk to anybody. Number three, I'm a sleeper.
Number four, I'm a headphones guy or gal. So you
(23:51):
can vote, and you should exercise your vote. You know
you're right to vote, No id needed, Just go vote.
And if you don't vote, and don't, you know, complain
about society. You know you can't complain if you don't vote.
So go to Twitter and vote. It'll make Bellio happy.
She likes that action, So slide over to Twitter at
(24:14):
Conway Show. On Twitter at Conway Show or X I
think they call it X now, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
all right, a lot of you and me and Krozier
and Bellio and Angel and Sammy. We're all getting texts,
millions of scam texts. We're generated right here in Los Angeles.
(24:36):
Let's find out who's getting worked.
Speaker 14 (24:39):
We all get them texting easy pass, final notice, toll evasion,
and USPS can't deliver because of incomplete address information.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I get them.
Speaker 14 (24:52):
The texts all contain links wanting our credit card information,
and they're all scams.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
It's a spray and prey with a.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Very I've ever heard that term before.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
It's a spray and prey with a very decent twist
because they're getting a lot of credit cards and account takeovers.
Speaker 14 (25:16):
Ben Coon, with the cybersecurity firm Unit two two one
B trecks fraudster activity on the dark web. He's also
tracking these. This bland room filled with nondescript equipment is
called a SIM farm. Each one of these boxes.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
It's another great term. A SIN farm is called a
SIM farm. Oh SIM, well, that's in SI N S
I am SIM.
Speaker 14 (25:40):
Each one of these boxes contains dozens of SIM cards.
Your cell phone has a single SIM card that allows
you to call and text. These farms can have thousands
of them. Wow, just one SIM farm, how many scam
text messages could it send out?
Speaker 9 (25:58):
I could logically put together in my head the ability
to send out you know, millions of text messages in
a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Wow, that's unbelievable. A million and a few minutes. You
gotta get I mean, even at one tenth of one percent,
that's a great take.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Wait, millions of text messages in just a few.
Speaker 14 (26:20):
Minutes, Yes, sir, using IP addresses and public data.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Crozier, we got to get into this. You know, we
could make a ton of money. I mean it's not ethical.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I get that. I get that. But I don't know.
Maybe we can get over that hump somehow.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
Ben can locate these SIM farms right now, he sees
around forty five of them across the US. Four of
those farms are right here in the LA area.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Great.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Great, another black guy for Los Angeles. I don't know
how much more we can take.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Some of these scam texts may be coming from my
own city.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yes, that's crazy.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
I would even search that some of these scam texts
are coming from your own city.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
In the US Secret Service warns SIM farms can have
an even darker sign. These photos are from a series
of farms agents busted around New York City just a.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Few weeks ago.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
This network had the potential to disable cell phone towers
and essentially shut down the cellular network in New York City.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
God almighty, it's unbelievable how much power a very few
people have on the on the Internet. It's incredible.
Speaker 14 (27:28):
But for us on the receiving end of these texts,
the main message is never click the link and never
share your credit card or bank information without calling the
company requesting it.
Speaker 9 (27:40):
That's a huge inconvenience, but it's better than losing access
to your credit card and losing you know, one hundred
thousand dollars from your savings account.
Speaker 16 (27:50):
Ben says, scammers overseas usually illegally ship the SIM farm
equipment in and then they hire people in the US.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
You'd have to dump that, you don't know. No, no, no, no,
don't you don't have to dump that.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
He said, ship ship Oh yeah, no, work work cool,
We're cool.
Speaker 16 (28:06):
Ben says, scammers over seas usually illegally ship the sim
farm equipment in.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah. I think we're okay. I think we're okay there.
Speaker 16 (28:15):
Seize usually illegally ship the sim farm equipment in, and then.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
It's close close.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I think in the context that he said, I think
we're good, all right, I think rook.
Speaker 16 (28:29):
Ben says, scammers over seas usually illegally ship the sim
farm equipment in, and then they hire people in the
US to set them up. He says law enforcement is
taking this all really seriously, and he is now seeing
these sim farms come down as fast as they pop up.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Oh man, all right, gotta be careful out There a
lot of different ways to scam you nowadays, and it
doesn't take much take away your life savings. Oh it's amazing.
We got to worry about everything everything. You know, fifteen
twenty thirty years ago, before cell phones, you never worried
about money in your bank account or your house being
(29:06):
taken by unscrupulous you know, people are going to take
a second or third out on your loan. Never, and
now that's all you worry about. You know, you're never
you never think you're one hundred percent safe. You know,
you always think, oh, every time you check your bank,
it's like, oh, it's my money, there is it?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
There is that.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
They're oh, oh, thank god it's there. Okay, that's great.
Another you know, disaster avoided. And people are always very
very worried, and rightfully so rightfully so it's uh, it's
scary out there, it really truly is. We have the
Twitter poll, so please go vote on that. Bellio gets
(29:47):
the charge out of that when you do that, and
then then she doesn't bother me anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
She is out counting votes.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
So it's at Twitter on Twitter or x at Conway
Show and you can vote on whether you're a talker
on an airplane and I think you'll get some satisfaction
at that. I think when you vote, you'll feel better
about yourself. So go vote at Conway Show on Twitter.
And don't you know, if you're if you want to
(30:15):
like us or follow us, don't be afraid, don't be
afraid to do that. We're not going to demand you
do that like a lot of other people do. Come
on in the Water's fine, just a suggestion, you know,
if you want to want to jump on board, we
belliill put some really cool stuff up there. And Bellio
really truly is the greatest person in all of iHeartMedia
(30:35):

iHeartMedia on social media than her, and there's thousands of
employees at iHeartMedia and she always wins the award for
being the best, the best. She has us the most
on Facebook. We have more on Facebook than all the
other shows combined, and the station combined all the other
(30:56):
shows and the station's Facebook. We have more than they do.
And we have more in almost every category. And it's
all Bellio. Bellio dominates. Social media dominates. There's nobody even close,
nobody even close than Bellio. Conway Show on demand on

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Big Dog with You.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
There was a lost dog that was found in Mission
Viejo Animal Services. They used a drone to reunite the
dog with the owner. Is the new way of finding
a dog when your dog's missing. And that's the worst man,
if you ever had that happen. You leave a door open,
or you know, the gate open, and that dog disappears. Ah,
(00:37):
your heart stops and that's all you can think about
trying to get that doll gieback. Well, in this case,
happy end days.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
West dog ran away in the dark on Wednesday night
and darted into some steep foothills where there are coyotes
and mountain lions. But after more than twenty four hours
on the run, her family finally has her back home.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yes, you were lost.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The German shepherd is recovering at home, licking her pause
because they're still wrong from the epic truck she took
through the Mission Viajo Hills.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
As she jumped the fence, something had either spooked her
or she was just hyper sensitive.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Luckily, she had a new air tag on.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Her collar, so when Mollie told me that she was gone.
I was able to see where she was in ken
at Hill's.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Maybe she was just tired of three D house of
slow talkers and the dog took off.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
God almighty.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
So when Mollie told me that she.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Was gone, right then what happened?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I was able to see where she was.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And then what happened after that.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
And Kennin at Hill's Great.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Get right on, the family needs some coffee.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Paul and m cabe went to the remote area immediately
and spotted Josie. But to her surprise, when she called
out to her dog, she ran away.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh not a good sign. Not a good sign when
the dog's not into you.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
She just kept darting ah and she it's like she
wasn't listening to anything.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
In order to catch this little scaredy cat, they would
need to get creative. So the family asked chat GBT
what to do.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
So yesterday we were able to pinpoint. I'm using the
infrared sensors.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And it recommended calling Mission Viejo Animal Services.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
We're able to get a heat sing like the buzzards
or eating that dog. We're able to get a heat
signature on the dog. We followed it for about a mile.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
We connected with animal services manager Kyle Werner and luckily
he had a thermal imaging drone donated by the Dedicated
Animal welfare group.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's a cool deal.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And you know you're living in a wealthy community when
the whole community brings out the drones that heat seeking
drones to find your dog. And deployed it in North Hollywood.
You take your dog out and it just eats meth
off the street a little difference difference.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And deployed it over the area where Josie's air tag
was pinging.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
And we coordinated with the owner on the cell phone
to a position where she could get in front of
the dog.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
He coached Paula on how to sit down, avoid eye contact,
and speak softly, creating a safe space for Josie to
recognize her mama's voice and come to her.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
And then you can see there's a shift in the
dog's demeanor and immediately ran up to the owner.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Wow, it's a great story, really touching.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
So even after twenty years that things like that.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Really, crows are getting close.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Even after twenty years that things like that really you
know or why we do this job?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I can get teary eye. Next, I was just really
distrug She.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Gave Kylee a big hug, thanking him for his kindness.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
They made me feel so important and so cared for
and he was so good and just so patient, and honestly,
I couldn't have done it without him and his drone.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Josie's vet gave her a little something for her anxiety
and fixed.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Up her pause.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
As for why she ran away in the first place,
she's not ready to talk is.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Not completely the same.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
She's a little bit like like a little like loopy
because she's on like these medications and stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
But I'm just happy to have her home.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
And Kyle says, they have a lot of open space
in this area, so this technology is a game changer
for finding lost pets. That's cool, reporting in Mission vah
nicolecom Stock CBSLA.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
All right, that's a good story. It ends with the
dog coming home.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's great. I had a girlfriend in.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
The later eighties early nineties and she was out of
town and I would go check on her dog, and
her neighbor, who was her best friend, was dog sitting
and you would go over there every hour or so
and check on the dog. And she took that dog
up to Laurel Canyon to a dog park on her own.
(05:05):
You know, my girlfriend didn't ask her to do that,
and the dog got away, and now the dog is
up in like Runyon Canyon, and I'm partially responsible, you know.
I felt like I was responsible. So I literally, for
two straight days, twelve hours a day, walked through Laurel
(05:26):
Canyon from Laurel Camp from Ventura Boulevard to Mulholland. I
walked Laurel Canyon up and down, calling that dog's name
for two straight days, probably twelve hours a day, to
the point where LAPD pulled up on me. I was
walking through the streets and LAPD pulled up and they
turned their lights on and said, hey, what are you
doing here? And I said, I'm looking for a dog,
(05:49):
and I showed him. I showed the woman. It was
a police officer, a lady, and I said, I'm looking
for this dog, that it's my girlfriend's dog, but I'm
partially responsible. And she was, oh, I just looked lost
a dog as well. We'll keep an eye out on
for it, out for it. I said, okay. So I
was exhausted after two days and I finally sat down
(06:09):
on Laurel Canyon Boulevard, about halfway between Ventura and Maulholland,
about two miles or a mile and a half.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
From where this dog originally disappeared.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And I sat down on the curb, totally exhausted, called
a friend to come pick me up.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I just couldn't find this dog.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And as I'm sitting there waiting for the friend to
pick me up, that dog comes out of the ivy
and sits next to me.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Haha.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen before
in my life.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I heard like some rustling around in the bushes. I thought, okay,
it's a coyote or a snake or I don't know,
you know, a guy trying to rob a house. And
the dog comes right out of the bushes and sat
right next to me.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And I got that dog back for her. I was
like the hero of the day. I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But man, when you lose a dog and it's out
there in the wild, you do everything you can to
get that dogie back because you're scared to death that
something's going to happen to that dog. But thing dog
with that dog, and they do it right in Mission Viejo.
Are you Angel, you near that place where this dog
was lost?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not too far away that because I
Wasn't it pretty close to the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter. Yes,
it was running around, that's right. Yeah, that's not too
far away. Great facility. And those heat seeking drones. That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I mean, you know, the technology now, there's so much
more technology to finding your dog now than the old school.
Old school, as you put up posters all of the
neighborhood and everyone ignores them. And now you have the
heat seeking drones, and you also have I think it's
one of these pet coo or one of these places,
(08:00):
has a database where you can enter your dog's information
and then it scans all the databases around the country
to try to get your dog back. There's a million
ways to get it back now. But old school a
couple posters, you know, reward, and nobody calls. Everybody just
ignores those posters.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Weird Weather this week.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Today was ninety degrees in the San Fernando Valley ninety
on Friday, seventy percent chance of rain, and the low
is fifty two. The highest sixty three degrees ninety today,
sixty three on Thursday and Friday sixty three. That's incredible.
(08:48):
I know Chicago's getting hit by unbelievable weather. It was
in the high teens of the low twenties there over
the weekend. If you're off to New York, you know
you're gonna chance it. With air traffic control. It's gonna
be thirty two degrees in New York City on Saturday.
That's the low. Thirty two in New York City, freezing.
(09:11):
Huntington Beach, Orange County Beaches, La County Beaches seventy four today,
sixty three on Friday, eighty percent, chances of rain on Friday,
seventy five percent chants of rain on Thursday. So Thursday
and Friday are going to be soaking wet, and then
the weekend looks like it's going to be dry. And
(09:31):
then Monday of forty percent chants of rain for most
of southern California.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
All right, let's go to Big Bear. Let's find out
what's going on with Big Bear.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
The low in Big Bear this weekend or I'm sorry,
next Tuesday is thirty one degrees. The low is the
high is forty two this Friday. It was sixty eight
there today and it's going to be forty two this Friday.
That's gonna be the high in the mountains. Thirty five
is the low, forty two it was the high. A
(10:01):
difference of twenty six degrees in literally three days. Twenty
six degrees. So just deal with it. I guess I
twenty four degrees if you're going to Detroit or Cleveland tomorrow,
twenty four degrees freezing for you know, mid November, not
(10:23):
even mid November if you're a ski bum like Bellio
used to be before she got married. She got married
on a Saturday, and I think she sold all her
ski equipment either that night or the next day.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I think it was the next day.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
It's gonna be twenty five degrees on Friday in Mammoth
and snowing. Fifty five percent chance of snow in Mammoth
on Friday. Thursday ninety percent chance of rain slash snow.
And then Friday fifty five percent chance of snow in Mammoth.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's a lot at your weather. Now back to the program,
all right, big dog with you. All right, let's talk
about the air traffic school. You can become a very
important person in this country. I think we've learned that
over the last forty or forty one days that air
traffic controllers have a lot of power in this country.
They can shut down travel, they can shut down the
(11:22):
grid by just calling out sick. And they now know it.
They've got all the power. And maybe you can be
one of these people. Go to air traffic school.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
Why am I helping a plane take off at runway
twenty eight right cleared for takeoff because it's part of
an air traffic control training simulation. Recent near missus in
the sky wait takeoff and collisions on the tarmac.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Saves those are is an aircraft that collided with us?
Speaker 11 (11:48):
Are putting air traffic controllers in the spotlight.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You can be an air traffic controller.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
And by the way, if you have to ask if
they drug test, maybe you're not the air traffic type.
Maybe you should die, you know, look for something.
Speaker 11 (12:03):
At Arby's, the head of the Air Traffic Union warned
that the government shutdown is putting the flying public at risk.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
And this introduces a new risk to aviation.
Speaker 12 (12:13):
Air traffic controllers are supposed to mitigate risk.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Charlie.
Speaker 11 (12:17):
The shortage in air traffic controllers is so serious some
towers have had to temporarily close, like the one at
Burbank Airport in LA.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, that's a big deal here.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
When they closed in Burbank, lot of delays, a lot
of canceled flights.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
The pilot couldn't believe it when he recently came in
for a landing.
Speaker 13 (12:37):
Four local.
Speaker 12 (12:38):
The tower will be closed for stacking, reopen at ten pm.
Speaker 11 (12:42):
It takes about three years for someone to be certified.
And what it takes about three years for someone to
be certified, we's.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Got that kind of time. Three years. Who's going to
even who thinks they're going to even be alive in
three years?
Speaker 11 (12:54):
Fight an air traffic controller. The training is intense, as
I found out at von too intent.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
If you ask me three years of intense training to
make what forty two grand?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Fifty grand roller? The training is intense, way too intense.
Three years, three years.
Speaker 11 (13:13):
As I found out at VOND College near New York's
Laguardy at airport.
Speaker 13 (13:17):
So we haven't arrival, we see him coming in mm hmm, okay,
and we're going to say that he's cleared to land exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I hope this is a simulator and this reporter isn't
just directing traffic.
Speaker 13 (13:28):
It's hard when they're talking to you and you have
to you ignore them and you say something else.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
She's not up for it. I wouldn't hire her next, next.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Right, because only one transmission can happen at a time.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
You have to wait for them to finish before you
can transmit.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (13:43):
Then they threw me into the deep end.
Speaker 13 (13:45):
So it's very dark and foggy now, but we still
can clear them to land.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yes, God Almighty, I hope this isn't really happening in
a tower where this reporter is and it's really foggy.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Should I just tell this cat to land? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
The aircraft are using the instruments in the cockpit to
guide the plane into the runway.
Speaker 13 (14:03):
SkyWest four four eight nine Academy Tower, Runway twenty eight right,
cleared to land.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
How did I do?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Bang? See that cartwheel on runway twenty four left?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's what you did. Yeah, that's a seven thirty seven
doing a cartwheel. It wasn't funny, it was you know,
thirty eight forty eight people day, Hey, baby, baby, please.
Speaker 11 (14:27):
I would call you a natural absolutely, Oh, thank you
so much, But it was just so much to keep
track of all I was it's your job, and you
get into a rhythm when you're doing it. Even through
the government shutdown, Vaughan says they can keep training more
students to get them into control towers faster.
Speaker 13 (14:43):
What makes this program so necessary for this moment in time.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
Well, you have a severe shortage of controls throughout the country,
and the FA Academy and Oklahoma can only train so
many people at a time.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oh, you got to go to Oklahoma. Wait, you have
to go to Oklahoma for three years to become an
air traffic controller. Hell, I wonder there's nobody out there
doing this.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Students here are paying their full way get this train,
as opposed.
Speaker 12 (15:08):
To the academy where they are paid to do the job.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
All right, Well, if you want to be an air
traffic controller, that sounds like a decent job. You got
a lot of power, but it is a hell of
a commitment. Three years in Oklahoma that's just to start,
and then you're probably an apprentice for a while, for
two or three years.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
That's test number one. If you're willing to do this,
you might have a shot.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's true, that's true, get out there and then do that,
and I guess it's pretty rewarding, you know, until two
planes run into each other, and then it's.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Not about stress. Man, Oh my god, damn.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I mean, every night you go home, you have to
have dreams of you screwing up, you know.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Bad enough here having dreams doing this.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I have dreams every single day that I'm late for
work and I can't get to work late. Oh okay, yeah,
that I call in and nobody's answering the phone and
I'm listening to John, you know, wrap up his show
and I can't get there.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Almost every day or every night, I have that dream.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I still have DJ dreams, like the record runs out
and I don't have another one queued up.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Everybody's looking at me. You know what else is really weird.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I have a dream almost i'd say three times a
week that I'm in Costco and I can't figure out
how to get out. I mean, I've paid for everything
and I don't know where the door is.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Is that a nightmare or the real dream?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's odd that I have at least three nights a
week I've dreamed that I'm in Costco. You know, different scenarios,
but always in Costco. It's an odd, odd situation. Odd bird,
I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 10 (16:49):

Speaker 15 (17:59):
Health officials is not as harmless as it seems.
Speaker 12 (18:02):
There's pills, there's powders, there's capsules, and make it in drinks.
Speaker 15 (18:06):
Jackson Gray works at a smoke shop in the San
Fernando Valley that sounds creatom, sometimes called.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Seven Oh she got it wrong? Yes, wait, so we

there is some use there. Do I think anybody should
just be able to buy as much as they want.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yes, probably, not ah, damn, I got that wrong.
Speaker 12 (18:55):
Probably not.
Speaker 15 (18:55):
Cretim's used as controversial. It's illegal to import and has
been linked to seizures and depths, including six in La
County in recent months. The La County Department of Health
says inspectors will be pulling the product from store shelves
next week.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Oh, I got to get in there quick if you
want this stuff, because.
Speaker 15 (19:11):
If its dangers, including acting as an opioid at high levels.

it'll stop your respirations.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
You can stop your respirations.
Speaker 12 (19:27):
You can actually much like to do if you overdose on.
Speaker 15 (19:30):
On HEREM Nutritional expert doctor Terry Simpson with Dignity Health
Saint John's Hospital and Oxnard says it's highly addictive.
Speaker 12 (19:38):
This is one of those things where I think we
actually need a nationwide regulation of that because with nationwide
regulations much likely regulate even the most minor prescription medications.
It allows there to be more control. It has to
be prescribed by a doctor.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
Back at the smoke shop, Gray says he always tells
customers what they're buying and warns them about.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The Yes, back at the smoke shop. Look at the
smoke shop. Back at the smoke shop.
Speaker 11 (20:03):
He also feels other products on the shelves could be
even more dangerous and they're still unregulated.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I've had a run in with one of those gas
station you know, they're sold in the gas station. They're
always at the counter, and they claim to be you know,
very sort of severe. You know, like if you're suffering
from so and so, take this. I was driving my wife,
(20:31):
my daughter, and my wife's two sisters from Portland back
to Los Angeles. I was driving those four women. Well,
one was a tiny girl, she was four or five
at the time, and then the others were adult women.
And we leave the house in Oregon, and a mile
(20:56):
from the house, two of the four women in the
car say they have to go to the bathroom. We
have a thousand mile trip in front of us, and
before we get to the freeway, I've got to stop
a minute from where we were all day because two
of them have to go to the bathroom. Like, oh,
this could be a long ass trip. Long ass trip.
(21:19):
So we drive all the way down from Portland. If
you know the area. We drive all the way down
to Shasta to that area, and we're going to stay
overnight in Shasta. But about two hours before we get
to Shasta, I'm driving and I'm falling asleep, and I've
got four people in my car plus me. So I
(21:41):
pull over and I buy something called a bumblebee. Never
heard of this before in my life. I guess it's
just all caffeine, and I take it and I'm up.
I'm up, and I drive all the way to Redding.
We pass Shasta and we drive to Redding. We get
there about ten o'clock at night. I go to sleep
around eleven o'clock because I got to get up early
and drive the five hundred miles and then I got
(22:04):
to work that night. So I go to bed at
eleven o'clock and I stared at the ceiling from eleven
pm until six am, never once closed my eyes.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I don't know what the hell was in this thing,
but I was up.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I was up, and then I got all the four
I got the four people in the car, and I
drove home, dropped them all off, and then went to work,
where I was working seven to ten at the time,
and I worked till ten o'clock and then I went
home and I couldn't sleep at all until about five
o'clock in the morning. So I was literally up for
(22:38):
about maybe almost forty five hours. So whatever the hell
was in that thing called the bumblebee, it works, but
it works really too well, too well. You gotta be
careful taking that kind of crap. I literally sat in
bed and not even frustrated. I'm like, okay, there's no
way I'm asleep and stared at the ceiling from eleven
(22:59):
PM until six am, and then drove five miles like
I and I had a great energy. It was unbelievable,
but not good for you. I came when I crashed
on this thing. I was in bed probably for eighteen
straight hours. It's not the way to go through life.
Not the way to go through life. Too tough on
your body, way too tough.
Speaker 10 (23:20):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
We have a poll up on Twitter that Bellio was
kind enough to ace up on Twitter, and it asks
are you a talker on airplay? And then you got
four options. One of them is I'm a talker? Number
two I don't talk to anybody. Number three, I'm a sleeper.
Number four, I'm a headphones guy or gal. So you
(23:51):
can vote, and you should exercise your vote. You know
you're right to vote, No id needed, Just go vote.
And if you don't vote, and don't, you know, complain
about society. You know you can't complain if you don't vote.
So go to Twitter and vote. It'll make Bellio happy.
She likes that action, So slide over to Twitter at
(24:14):
Conway Show. On Twitter at Conway Show or X I
think they call it X now, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
all right, a lot of you and me and Krozier
and Bellio and Angel and Sammy. We're all getting texts,
millions of scam texts. We're generated right here in Los Angeles.
(24:36):
Let's find out who's getting worked.
Speaker 14 (24:39):
We all get them texting easy pass, final notice, toll evasion,
and USPS can't deliver because of incomplete address information.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I get them.
Speaker 14 (24:52):
The texts all contain links wanting our credit card information,
and they're all scams.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
It's a spray and prey with a.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Very I've ever heard that term before.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
It's a spray and prey with a very decent twist
because they're getting a lot of credit cards and account takeovers.
Speaker 14 (25:16):
Ben Coon, with the cybersecurity firm Unit two two one
B trecks fraudster activity on the dark web. He's also
tracking these. This bland room filled with nondescript equipment is
called a SIM farm. Each one of these boxes.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
It's another great term. A SIN farm is called a
SIM farm. Oh SIM, well, that's in SI N S
I am SIM.
Speaker 14 (25:40):
Each one of these boxes contains dozens of SIM cards.
Your cell phone has a single SIM card that allows
you to call and text. These farms can have thousands
of them. Wow, just one SIM farm, how many scam
text messages could it send out?
Speaker 9 (25:58):
I could logically put together in my head the ability
to send out you know, millions of text messages in
a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Wow, that's unbelievable. A million and a few minutes. You
gotta get I mean, even at one tenth of one percent,
that's a great take.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Wait, millions of text messages in just a few.
Speaker 14 (26:20):
Minutes, Yes, sir, using IP addresses and public data.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Crozier, we got to get into this. You know, we
could make a ton of money. I mean it's not ethical.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I get that. I get that. But I don't know.
Maybe we can get over that hump somehow.
Speaker 14 (26:33):
Ben can locate these SIM farms right now, he sees
around forty five of them across the US. Four of
those farms are right here in the LA area.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Great.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Great, another black guy for Los Angeles. I don't know
how much more we can take.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Some of these scam texts may be coming from my
own city.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yes, that's crazy.
Speaker 9 (26:56):
I would even search that some of these scam texts
are coming from your own city.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
In the US Secret Service warns SIM farms can have
an even darker sign. These photos are from a series
of farms agents busted around New York City just a.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Few weeks ago.
Speaker 10 (27:12):
This network had the potential to disable cell phone towers
and essentially shut down the cellular network in New York City.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
God almighty, it's unbelievable how much power a very few
people have on the on the Internet. It's incredible.
Speaker 14 (27:28):
But for us on the receiving end of these texts,
the main message is never click the link and never
share your credit card or bank information without calling the
company requesting it.
Speaker 9 (27:40):
That's a huge inconvenience, but it's better than losing access
to your credit card and losing you know, one hundred
thousand dollars from your savings account.
Speaker 16 (27:50):
Ben says, scammers overseas usually illegally ship the SIM farm
equipment in and then they hire people in the US.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
You'd have to dump that, you don't know. No, no, no, no,
don't you don't have to dump that.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
He said, ship ship Oh yeah, no, work work cool,
We're cool.
Speaker 16 (28:06):
Ben says, scammers over seas usually illegally ship the sim
farm equipment in.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah. I think we're okay. I think we're okay there.
Speaker 16 (28:15):
Seize usually illegally ship the sim farm equipment in, and then.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
It's close close.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I think in the context that he said, I think
we're good, all right, I think rook.
Speaker 16 (28:29):
Ben says, scammers over seas usually illegally ship the sim
farm equipment in, and then they hire people in the
US to set them up. He says law enforcement is
taking this all really seriously, and he is now seeing
these sim farms come down as fast as they pop up.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Oh man, all right, gotta be careful out There a
lot of different ways to scam you nowadays, and it
doesn't take much take away your life savings. Oh it's amazing.
We got to worry about everything everything. You know, fifteen
twenty thirty years ago, before cell phones, you never worried
about money in your bank account or your house being
(29:06):
taken by unscrupulous you know, people are going to take
a second or third out on your loan. Never, and
now that's all you worry about. You know, you're never
you never think you're one hundred percent safe. You know,
you always think, oh, every time you check your bank,
it's like, oh, it's my money, there is it?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
There is that.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
They're oh, oh, thank god it's there. Okay, that's great.
Another you know, disaster avoided. And people are always very
very worried, and rightfully so rightfully so it's uh, it's
scary out there, it really truly is. We have the
Twitter poll, so please go vote on that. Bellio gets
(29:47):
the charge out of that when you do that, and
then then she doesn't bother me anymore.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
She is out counting votes.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
So it's at Twitter on Twitter or x at Conway
Show and you can vote on whether you're a talker
on an airplane and I think you'll get some satisfaction
at that. I think when you vote, you'll feel better
about yourself. So go vote at Conway Show on Twitter.
