Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You got Conway? All right, Angel Martinez.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We just had a high speed pursuit and on the
one oh one, I believe southbound, is that correct?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
On that southbound side in the Hollywood area?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Is that the one that you're talking?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yes, Hollywood, right, yes, yes, yes, it's pretty close to
Melrose right now. So it's really that drive right now
is super solid away from just about Sunset Boulevard, and
it's only going to get worse because you know, after
a pursuit ends, they like to stop lanes for a
little bit, everything wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, so the traffic starts around Sunset.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It looks like it about Sunset Boulevard, and that's only
going to build and become worse.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So yeah, all right, so there you go, guy or gal.
Somebody jumped on the one oh one and I was
being chased by the and the cops got their guy.
But now traffic, ahoy, lots of draping. All right, thank you,
Angel Martinez.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You got it. Dong with her all right.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
The flu season is upon us, but maybe you can
still get the flu shot I don't know if it's
too late.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But it's hard to get a flu shot when it's
eighty five degrees outside.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's very difficult to do.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's much easier when you lived in Chicago and it
was snowing and four degrees out and you looked at
the weather and it's going to be cold for next
two weeks. Easy get the flu shot there. Not so
easy when it's eighty degrees outside.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'm in America's monster flu season. This morning, new CDC
data showing an increasingly deadly toll.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh, no, deadly.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
With now nineteen thousand deaths from the flu overall this
season and eighteen pediatric deaths reported just last week. While
test positivity rates fell slightly, the vast majority of states
reporting high or very high flu levels.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Definitely the most intense flu season of my career.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
At Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, doctor Nicholas Cosey says
kids infected with the flu are getting secondary pneumonia infections,
a combo typically reserved for older patients.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh did you hear that kids are getting pneumonia with
the flu? And they usually see that in people that
are in their eighties.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Flu are getting secondary pneumonia infections, a combo typically reserved
for older patients.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
By kids are coming in with difficulty breathing. They're not
able to drink, they're not able to eat. It's making
they're horrid elevated.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Twelve year old Taylor McGinnis flew from New York to
Arizona for a soccer tournament, only to get sick for
a week.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Oh that's the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Being on a plane now and somebody's coughing or sneezing
behind you.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Oh man, it felt like I just like was very
tired and like couldn't really move very much.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Meanwhile, chaos rocking federal health agencies, with the CDC's wild
to Mild campaign promoting flu vaccines appearing to have been white.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
From the agency site.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
It comes roughly a week after longtime vaccine skeptic RFK
Junior was sworn in as Health and Human Services Secretary,
AHHS not responding to NBC's request for comment on the campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
We have healthcare workers out here.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
That agency facing heated protests earlier this week outside its
DC headquarters after the Trump administration terminated hundreds of CDC employees.
According to two sources at the agency AHHS saying, in
response to NBC News's questions about the firings, they're following
the administration's guidance and taking action to support the president's
broader efforts to restructure and streamline the federal government.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, crazy air with the flu and measles.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
How illness is going around this season, So acute respiratory
illness is listed as high or very high, and nearly
half of the country according to the CDC. Meanwhile, the
outbreak of measles that is growing rapidly in Texas and
so joining us more now on how to stay healthy,
of course, is ABC News correspondent doctor Darien. All Right, So,
(04:02):
doctor Darien, it is still flu season, and we're learning
that flu deaths actually surpassing COVID nineteen deaths for the
first time since the pandemic started.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
For the first time since the pandemic started, and numbers
are exceptionally high. We're talking about some of the highest
numbers we've seen in fifteen years. And as I was
saying during the break, if you come to the emergency
room with me, you would very much see it. Many
of my patients suffering from the symptoms of flu A
and test positivity is also high. Twenty five percent of
tests for turning back positive this year compared to eighteen percent.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's a lot last year.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
It's a long contribute to that thirty.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Five times we prevent compose to a half a million hospitalizations.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm remembering my grandpa telling me, you're going to catch
a cold if you go outside when it's freezing out right,
And we've seen these like fluctuations and temperatures of the cold.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And now the warm up.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
But does the weather really play any difference in making
people sick?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
You know, I think that's a great question, and my
answer is yes, but not all of what we think
is to be true. Our grandparents are right, when you
go out cold, that does suppress your immune system, can
make you more susceptible to infections. But really what it
is is that when it gets cold, we all move
inside and we all share derms, and that increases our
risk of exposure.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The good news is.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
That right now we're seeing relatively or signs of a
relative peak, which we can remain hopeful for, but we
have to remain cautious. The flue season extends until early spring,
so you still have to protect yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You still have to protect yourself.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Okay, So let's talk about the measles in West Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We see that outbreak cases are spreading. Oh no, now
the measles are going to get us. What are the
symptoms here? When do you actually see them?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
So measles is doing what it does best, spreading. It's
the most contagious infection that exists.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Just for context, How about that the most contagious infection, measles.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
So measles is doing what it does best, spreading. It's
the most contagious infection that exists. Just for context, One
infected person can infect up to eighteen other people who
do not have immune protection. And vaccine rates or reasons
why we should pay attention, they're steadily declining, and we
have pockets of communities that are significantly under vaccinated. Gaines
County in Texas, eight percent of children are not up
(06:01):
to date on their MMR vaccine. Measles months and rebella,
which is one of the reasons why we're seeing an
epicenter there right now. In close to thirty year in
Texas history, close to thirty years, some of the highest
numbers they've ever seen in terms of measles. So symptoms
to look out for have treated measles during our twenty
nineteen outbreak. Common symptoms include high fevers.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Sometimes okay, here are the symptoms. If you have these symptoms,
you might have the measles.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
High fevers sometimes exceeding one hundred and four degrees fahrenheit,
that textbook rash that can cover your whole body, cough,
and sometimes conjunctivitis. It can start one to three weeks
after exposure. And just remember vaccine's work. The MMR vaccine,
which you get normally between twelve months and fifteen months,
is up to ninety five percent effective.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You know, there was a lot of people at the
Screen Actor Guild wards last night that did not show
up for their award because they had COVID or they
had the flu. I think Marty Short was one of them.
Martin Short one for what is it only murders in
the building. I think that's what I SA reality was.
And he wasn't there. He got COVID at the Saturday
(07:04):
Live fiftieth anniversary, that big reunion. Somebody get him COVID.
And Steve Martin wasn't there either, and he won as well.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean the show won, and so they won two
big awards, but they weren't there to grab him. And
I bet Martin Short is kicking himself in the ass
because he had an opportunity to go up there and
talk about how you know, he's still his career's going,
still great. He's winning a screen Actor Guild Award. People
love him and they go, ladies and gentlemen, the winner,
(07:35):
Marty Short. Nothing, Marty's done here right now, we're, you know,
gladly accept this award on his behalf.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Marty Short had a chance to tell everybody in Hollywood
how healthy was, how great he was, how funny was
I'm still working my ass off at age seventy five
or seventy six, however old he is, and he couldn't go.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That sucks because that's the last big award that he
could win for that show. Maybe next year if that
show wins. Is that a series or yes it is? Okay,
you know, maybe you can win next year. I don't know,
but man, he had an up golden opportunity and he
was not there.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That sucks. It really is horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
All right, Well we come back. We have more news
on La Fire Department. Kristin Crawley was fired late Friday,
which is sort of a cowardly move, you know, late
on Friday, and then you have the whole weekend to
digest it, and then the story sort of goes away
on Monday. It's not going away. It's not going away.
There's a big fight now between Mayor Bass and the
(08:42):
city Council, and a lot of people in the city
council were not happy with Kristin Crawley being fired, maybe
even scapegoat, as some of them say, as fire chief.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So come back. We'll give you the information on that
as well.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I just saw this on TV, so it's gotta be true.
We might have rain for the Oscars. That's possible, not likely,
but possible. So maybe rain on Sunday. The Oscars is
This Sunday, it's gonna be cold in La The high
is gonna be fifty nine degrees in the San Fernando Valley,
(09:24):
fifty nine. Let's see what it'll be in Hollywood. Hollywood
is going to get the Golden globes of the Oscars
and on Sunday, the highest fifty nine, lowest fifty and
the highest fifty nine degrees. So you're gonna get some
cold actors and cold actresses on Sunday with the red carpet.
(09:46):
So bring us sweater. Actors and actresses, bring a sweater,
all right, LA Fire Department Mayor Bass. Did Mayor Bass
fire Kristin Crawley? Was she scapegoated? Is she blaming christ
Crawley for the fires?
Speaker 8 (10:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Let's find out.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
We're hearing from Mayor Bass days after former fire Chief
Kristin Crowley's firing.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
She was absolutely not scapegoated. I would never do that,
but it is important for us to understand what.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
I think of.
Speaker 11 (10:15):
Bass says the former chief failed to make a thousand
firefighters stay at work ahead of the wind event that
came before our deadly firestorm, and that's why Crowley had
to take some blame. In a statement released over the weekend,
Crowley set her decision prioritized taking care of her fire
crews so they could better take care of communities. Crowley
worked for LAFD for twenty five years. The mayor's office
(10:37):
said Crowley has exercised her right to remain with the
agency at a lower Rank, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
More on Kristin Crawley. What's going on with this fire chief?
Speaker 9 (10:48):
Former Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley released a statement
today praising her department as one of the greatest in
the world. She also detailed what has guided her throughout
her career. Now hearing from Kristin Crowley one day after
she was removed from office as the leader of the
Los Angeles Fire Department, it's her first public comment since
(11:09):
Friday's bombshell fallout from the explosive Palisades fire that wiped
out a community, destroying lives and property January seventh, slamming
Fire Chief Kristin Crowley for the way she prepared for
and handled the catastrophe, and a subsequent review of the
fire department's actions. LA Mayor Karen Bass announced that Crowley
(11:33):
was out and an LAFD veteran was in as interim chief.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And you know, she wanted to do this before. Remember
two weeks ago, there was a rumor going around that
Mayor Bass fired Kristin Crowley, and she wanted to do
it back then, but she couldn't.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The timing wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
So she just sat and you know, and hated her
and hated her, and then finally fired her.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
She is gone.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
I just met with Chief Crowley and removed her as
fire chief.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Now the response, avoiding any mention of Karen Bass, Kristin
Crowley released a statement Saturday.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Here we go as a humble public servant.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
For over the past thirty years, twenty five of those
with the LAFD, it has been an absolute honor to
represent and lead the men and women of one of
the greatest fire departments in the world. As the fire chief,
I based my actions and decisions on taking care of
our firefighters so that they could take care of our communities.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I was watching the Kings put together an event yesterday
for first responders, and I saw a lot of the
firefighters there at Crypto dot Com.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
It was hundreds of them.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And then I turned on the screen Actor's Guild Awards
and they had two tables there of firefighters LA County
and LAFD.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And then I watched.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
The Grammy Awards and they were all on stage at
the Grammy Awards and I thought to myself, He's who's
at the station? These guys are all on stage now
where the firefighters we're at stations. I don't know, maybe
(13:16):
they're maybe they're off hours, they're suiting up and going
to these, uh these events. I think they're gonna be
at the oscars as well. I think they're you're gonna
see some firefighters at the oscars in either LA County
or LA Fire Department. They certainly deserve them. They raised
a lot of money yesterday for victims of that fire.
(13:38):
Great event. There were four teams yesterday filled with celebrities
and passed and my NHL players. It was fun to watch.
It was a great event yesterday at Crypto dot com.
Serving others all right back to Kristin Crawley, l a
f D, serving others before self.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Having the courage and integrity to do what is right
and with compassion, love and respect have guided me throughout
my career. A rep says Crowley will be making no
further statements on the matter.
Speaker 12 (14:09):
We had a fire chief who spoke up and told
the truth about what the men and women in the
LAFD need on the grounds. We need more money, we
need more resources, we need more staffy.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I have called for Okay, before we get into Karen Bass,
I have a couple of friends who are some are
still on LA Fire Department and a couple of retired.
So I asked a friend of mine, I said, what's
with the with the new guy? Is he any good?
And I got back.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Where it go?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, yes, sir good Man. He just retired in twenty
twenty four, well respected. So at least that's a good decision.
You know, she replaced Chris and Crawley with a guy
who the fire department respects. All right, back to Mayor
Bass here with the firing of fire Chief Kristen Crowley.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I have called for a full investigation of everything leading
up to January seventh. A necessary step to the investigation
was the president of the Fire Commission telling Chief Crowley
to do an after action report on the fires. The
fire chief refused.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You know, I find that really difficult to believe that
the fire chief just refused.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
The fire chief refused.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, so she's been asked to do her job an
after fire report, a post fire report, post action report,
and she refused. I find that really difficult to believe.
She just said no. I bet there's much more to
that story than her just saying no. I'll bet I'll
bet it's falls and I'll bet it's there's more to
(15:48):
that story. Then she was asked to do a post
fire report and she just said no, after that fire,
you're gonna say no, get the hell out of here.
That there is much more to that story.
Speaker 12 (15:58):
But this is the largest fire in the city of
Los Angeles, most damaging, with incidt with the housing. To
say that there's not going to be a report anybody
in the fire service, it's ludicris.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm right, I'm right. Even the head of the union
said it's ludicrous. It's ludicros.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
There's absolutely good there's gonna be ten, fifteen, twenty reports
about what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I smell a rat. I smell a rat. It's ludicrous.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
It is ludicris. I'm telling you, this guy's right. We're
both right on this.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's ludicris. It's happening.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
The Firefighters Union president says Mayor Bass does not have
all the facts and is painting a misk.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Wait, he stole that line from Maya Rudolph. He lifted
that line from Maya Rudolph.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's happening.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's happening. Remember in that movie, what was it The Bridesmaids. Yes,
and she's walking across the street after she threw a
duke into the wedding dress.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, just trumps in the middle of the street. Yeah,
it's happening, right, it's happening.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, he stole that from Maya Rudolph. Well that that's
a big compliment to Maya Rudolph.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But let's hear the whole. Oh, he said it more
than once. It's happening, it's happening. It's happening.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
It's happening.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
It's happening. Oh no, through a duke in that fire outfit.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
The firefighters squatting in the street too, And what is
he saying?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's happening, it's happening. Oh no, it's happening. It's happening.
It's happening.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
The Firefighters Union president says Mayor Bass does not have
all the facts and is painting a misleading picture of
Chief Crowley. Forty one year department veteran Ronnie Vianueva is
the new interim fire chief.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The mayor says, any relation to Alex Vianueva, both public servants,
maybe ex chief x sheriff.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
In town Ronnie Vianueva.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Ronnie Vanueva's he related to Alex Vianueva.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
No I don't know that much about my views. My toevs.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Ronnie Vianueva is the new interim fire chief. The mayor
says she will conduct a national search for a permanent replacement.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Great guy will come in from out of town and
get this job. Na I gotta hire from within.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
We will hear from La County Supervisor Lindsay Horbath in
the next hour for now, reporting live in the news center.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
Chris Wolfe KTLA five, Chris Wolf knocking it out, big
talk with that guy, Chris Well, all right, all right,
well the you know, the drama continues in downtown LA.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
So it's been a mess since January seventh, and doesn't
look like it's getting any better anytime soon.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Hey, here's something I've never seen before. Maybe you have
or you haven't, I don't know, but there's an airline
called Combat Air that flies. There are low fair flying
apparatus the flant of LA in Atlanta, I think, Cleveland, Detroit,
(19:07):
I know they go. There's a couple of Dallas. I
think there's a hub in Vegas as well. You might
know it as their lesser known name Spirit Airlines. But
there was a fight on Spirit Airlines and I've never
seen this before. It was in the Atlanta airport. Dozens
(19:29):
of people eventually got involved. But the fight started between
a woman and her daughter, a mother daughter. They had
it with each other nice they had had enough. The
daughter had had enough, or the mom had enough. Somebody
had enough and they the wife, i mean the mother
(19:52):
tried to choke out the daughter and the daughter fought
back and then a lot of people got involved. There
may have been a as many as eighteen to twenty
people involved. Big battle in Atlanta, Georgia. Huge battle. So
let's find out what happened. Mom and daughter went at it.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It appears that the women in it are related, a
mom and her daughter. Thankfully, two men stepped in and
separated them before things escalated any further. Even SOE flight
attended say what happened that day points to a much
larger problem.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
All right, lots going on with the fight fighting at
Atlanta Airport. Let's see if there's an update on this thing.
Atlanta Airport. This is a pretty big one. They usually
they usually are you know, it's one or two punches
and it's over. But this one seemed to go on
(20:45):
and on and on. There's another version of this some Fox.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Are you looking to sell your house to Fox too?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Let's find out what's going on with Fox two. Fist
fly as brawl ensnares a Spirit fly waiting area in Atlanta.
Speaker 14 (21:03):
A brawl this flying among flyers in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Wow, now it must be twenty thirty people involved. Eight
people involved.
Speaker 14 (21:19):
This passenger's battled at the gate for a Spirit Airlines plane.
By the time officers got there, the maya was over.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
No word on what caused the fight.
Speaker 14 (21:30):
With so many airport or flying related incidents making headlines,
some people are thinking twice about flying.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
Well.
Speaker 14 (21:38):
The National Safety Council says flying is the safest mode
of transportation. Here are some things that you can do
to help ease your anxiety.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I wonder what they do with people who fight on flights.
I think that's a wrap on you. You know, if
you can't control it on a flight, I think I
think you're done.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, it was in Atlanta, Georgia, so Spirit Air Spirit
Air in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Bad vibes, really bad vibes. All right, We've got another.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Story here on these sea lions. Everybody likes the sea lions.
Over a dozen reports of sick sea lions in Malibu
they were affected by the fire.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I don't out, so you.
Speaker 15 (22:20):
Know, the water probably isn't that safe right now for
humans or for animals. In fact, there's still an ocean
water advisory from here in Malibu all the way to
Santa Monica because a lot of the toxins that went
into the water after all the rain we got and
they really impacted the Palisades fire burn area, and all
of that went into the ocean. But right now, experts
are still working to figure out why exactly these sea
(22:41):
lions are getting sick right now. But again, this is
something that we've told you about before. These sea animals
have had issues in the past.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, these sea lions are not used to just eating
raw feces, raw human feces.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It upsets their bellies.
Speaker 15 (22:57):
In fact, again back in the summer of twenty twenty three,
Triosh Center was set up for them in Marina del
Rey after they got domoic acid poisoning.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's an algel.
Speaker 15 (23:06):
Bloom that sea lions can be exposed to by eating
contaminated fish. If it's a toxic strain, it can damage
their brain and heart.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, it's faces. Hey, these sea lions don't know the
stomach for the faces.
Speaker 15 (23:19):
Now, this weekend, the California Wildlife Center said it got
fourteen calls about sea lions and distress in Malibu just
over a few days.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, and those are just the sea lions they found.
They you know, I'm sure that a lot of them
got sick and either passed away or sank.
Speaker 15 (23:34):
They say. All the signs and recent rains point to
this being highly suspicious for demoic acid toxicity as well.
So if you see a sea lion who looks like
it needs help in Malibu, here's what to do first.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
All right, here's what you do. If you see a
sea lion who's not feeling.
Speaker 15 (23:51):
So hot, stay away. They might lunge at you. They

sea lion that's sick, ignore them, way ignore them.
Speaker 16 (24:01):
They have lion in their name, that's right. Why do
you need a clue on what just do? When you
come across a sea lion, they can kill you. And
they're all infected. You know, they got all kinds of crazy. Uh,
you know, germs and bacteria rolling around.
Speaker 15 (24:16):
Stay away they.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Might also, they shouldn't just limit it to Malibu. I mean,
these sea lions can swim right anywhere.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Sea lions. Yeah, stay away from these guys.
Speaker 15 (24:27):
Stay away. They might lunge at you. They could even bite.

First, it's trapped on the beach. It looks really lethargic,
really sleepy, maybe even having a seizure. If it's also
craning its neck up, it's it's an action that's called stargazing.
They're stirring up to the sky.

You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF.
I am six forty.
Speaker 17 (26:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That that woman is cleaning up that Demi Moore?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Is that her name?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
De me moour, de me moore, Demi Moore. She's won
everything with this substance. Kicked ass. I know ron Or
you're a big fan of that movie. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I did like it. Yeah, you see in theaters it's
it's real subtle.
Speaker 17 (26:34):
Yeah, yeah, I don't remember where I saw it. I
think I saw it at home. I'd actually like to
enjoy seeing an audience's reaction to you about the last
third of it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I went to the movies with my wife, which we
don't normally do on a Saturday, at ten o'clock in Burbank,
thinking there's only going to be me and my wife
in that theater.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Nobody else is going to be there.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Sold out, sold out, there were two seats left, one
in front, one and back.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
We went home and rented it. The thought you were
gonna get some action that day.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Not I thought, but you know, if there's nobody there,
I could relax and you know, put my feet up.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But it was packed.
Speaker 17 (27:12):
It's it's one of those movies that became an instant
cult hit.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, it really is great. And the music, you know,
the sound effects is so great. We played a little
bit of the of the.
Speaker 17 (27:23):
A s m. R. Of the of the Boss making
chewing sounds with the shrimp.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
That is so great. That's the most disgusting I've seen. Yeah,
him just eating right in front of her.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I think, well, oh god.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
He's eating those big shrimps and you know the shrimp cocktail,
and there's what was it, crawfish?
Speaker 18 (27:48):
Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 18 (27:52):
Oh, younger, yeah, more beautiful, that's right, more perfect? Yes,
one single injection unlocks your DNA and will release another
version of yourself.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
What a movie. This is.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
The substance, you know, Ron, I've never heard that sound
effect before, but man is it did?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
They use it? Brilliantly? Brilliantly?
Speaker 17 (28:35):
And this movie sounds like some sounds I was making
after picking up food at a taco truck last night.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Substance got pretty close.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And the the actress that played the younger Demmy Moore
was great too.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh is that Margaret quality?
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I think so. Yeah, she was great. Man. I loved
that you're high, let's go a perfect balance.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And you know what, it's the perfect actress to do it,
because you know, behind closed doors, she's been looking for
the substance her whole life, you know, looking for some
way to look younger, more beautiful, and more acceptable.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And she was into it. Man, that was a great movie.
Speaker 17 (29:22):
Every time I see to mean more though at an
awards show. What is she sixty ish?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Sixty?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I don't think she has a lot to worry about. Yeah,
I know, she looks like she's in her late thirties.
She looks terrific. I really enjoyed that. And she's won everything.
She's won the Golden Globe, she won the Critics Choice,
the bath To European Film Award, she won all these
awards for you know, this movie. And I think she's
(29:49):
a lock for the Oscar. Is there a betting pool?
You're the gambler?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I would bet in heart, I would bet. I would
bet my house that she wins the Oscar. That's a
bold statement. I would bet my house man. All right, me,
Kelly's brothers, how you about? Did you see the substance?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
No, I'm not into the horror like Mark Ronner? He said,
what you call? I said, I'm not into the horar?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I see? Okay? Like Mark Ronner. O. Wow, let's be
abundantly clear.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's right, that's exactly what you said. What's on that
big show tonight?
Speaker 19 (30:23):
But we have a huge show tonight. We have to
talk about the decline of Hooters. I mean it'st a
sad day in men's history. Starbucks has laid off eleven
hundred employees and also cutting thirty percent of US menu items.
We have Dan Abram's, host of on Patrol Live, who
will be joining us.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I love him. He is such a great guest.
Speaker 19 (30:42):
We're giving away passes to Alamo Draft House as part
of twin Peaks Day, which is all about the films.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Of David Lynch. We there's just so much to do tonight.
It's a great show tonight, cute show and passed away. Absolutely.
It was just, you know, it was what a life
she had though eighty eight years tell you this. Did
you go to Howard?
Speaker 19 (31:01):
She went to Howard University and she was in the
same choir, the Howard University choir with both my parents,
and they toured South America together?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Is that right? True story? Are you talking about her tonight?
At some point I will do it to close out
the show, Okay, all right, So in the nine okay,
all right, excellent.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I will be listening, buddy. Always nice to see you.
Are you looking forward to the Oscars?
Speaker 19 (31:24):
Not really looking forward to it because it kind of
gets to be wrote where you kind of know and
I think you are right. This is Demi Morris year,
and it's just one of those things where this is
the Lifetime Achievement Awards. She's probably had better work that
she's done on screen, but this is when she's going
to get the award.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, I don't like the Lifetime Achievement Awards. I think
the Lifetime achievement are the people who won a lot
of awards.
Speaker 19 (31:50):
You know, sometimes it's all about timing and mood and
press releases. You know, it happened to Denzel Washington, has
happened to Whoopye Goldberg Man and Angela Bassett and other
people where they're not recognized for their best work.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I watched the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night, and
I'm a big but I didn't think I was going
to be a big fan watching on Netflix, but I
got into it. There was no commercials, there was swearing aloud,
and people were there are more themselves when they're on
a streamer than on a network.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Hopefully that'll be the future, but I don't know.
Speaker 19 (32:21):
I think it is these network tie ins that a
lot of these award shows have.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It makes it difficult. But I noticed last night I
watched the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
And somebody must have told the presenters and the winners
of this, and it has to be because otherwise I
wouldn't have noticed it. Not one mention of Trump. A
lot of referring to the you know, to his office
and the oval office of it, but never once they
mentioned Donald Trump.
Speaker 19 (32:46):
Didn't notice not a single time. Did you watch Awards?
I was bouncing in and out. I had a really
full week here. I mean really full, is that right?
Running up and down the court with kids and youth
basketball and Donald Beach, Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know you gotta stop that. It's two your two
of them? Really, he thinks, So how old are you?
Fifty five? Oh? But you're it's way over.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I mean, you know, you get all my friends who
play basketball and tennis, they're all their sixties.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
They've all had acls and legs. And well, I'm not playing,
I'm just officiating. Okay, this is different.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
They keep it up, all right, Both Kelly's Old Crew
next right here on KFI AM six forty Conway show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty four to
seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You got Conway? All right, Angel Martinez.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
We just had a high speed pursuit and on the
one oh one, I believe southbound, is that correct?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
On that southbound side in the Hollywood area?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Is that the one that you're talking?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yes, Hollywood, right, yes, yes, yes, it's pretty close to
Melrose right now. So it's really that drive right now
is super solid away from just about Sunset Boulevard, and
it's only going to get worse because you know, after
a pursuit ends, they like to stop lanes for a
little bit, everything wrapped up.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, so the traffic starts around Sunset.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It looks like it about Sunset Boulevard, and that's only
going to build and become worse.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So yeah, all right, so there you go, guy or gal.
Somebody jumped on the one oh one and I was
being chased by the and the cops got their guy.
But now traffic, ahoy, lots of draping. All right, thank you,
Angel Martinez.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You got it. Dong with her all right.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
The flu season is upon us, but maybe you can
still get the flu shot I don't know if it's
too late.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
But it's hard to get a flu shot when it's
eighty five degrees outside.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's very difficult to do.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It's much easier when you lived in Chicago and it
was snowing and four degrees out and you looked at
the weather and it's going to be cold for next
two weeks. Easy get the flu shot there. Not so
easy when it's eighty degrees outside.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'm in America's monster flu season. This morning, new CDC
data showing an increasingly deadly toll.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh, no, deadly.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
With now nineteen thousand deaths from the flu overall this
season and eighteen pediatric deaths reported just last week. While
test positivity rates fell slightly, the vast majority of states
reporting high or very high flu levels.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Definitely the most intense flu season of my career.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
At Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, doctor Nicholas Cosey says
kids infected with the flu are getting secondary pneumonia infections,
a combo typically reserved for older patients.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh did you hear that kids are getting pneumonia with
the flu? And they usually see that in people that
are in their eighties.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Flu are getting secondary pneumonia infections, a combo typically reserved
for older patients.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
By kids are coming in with difficulty breathing. They're not
able to drink, they're not able to eat. It's making
they're horrid elevated.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Twelve year old Taylor McGinnis flew from New York to
Arizona for a soccer tournament, only to get sick for
a week.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Oh that's the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Being on a plane now and somebody's coughing or sneezing
behind you.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Oh man, it felt like I just like was very
tired and like couldn't really move very much.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Meanwhile, chaos rocking federal health agencies, with the CDC's wild
to Mild campaign promoting flu vaccines appearing to have been white.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
From the agency site.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
It comes roughly a week after longtime vaccine skeptic RFK
Junior was sworn in as Health and Human Services Secretary,
AHHS not responding to NBC's request for comment on the campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
We have healthcare workers out here.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
That agency facing heated protests earlier this week outside its
DC headquarters after the Trump administration terminated hundreds of CDC employees.
According to two sources at the agency AHHS saying, in
response to NBC News's questions about the firings, they're following
the administration's guidance and taking action to support the president's
broader efforts to restructure and streamline the federal government.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, crazy air with the flu and measles.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
How illness is going around this season, So acute respiratory
illness is listed as high or very high, and nearly
half of the country according to the CDC. Meanwhile, the
outbreak of measles that is growing rapidly in Texas and
so joining us more now on how to stay healthy,
of course, is ABC News correspondent doctor Darien. All Right, So,
(04:02):
doctor Darien, it is still flu season, and we're learning
that flu deaths actually surpassing COVID nineteen deaths for the
first time since the pandemic started.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
For the first time since the pandemic started, and numbers
are exceptionally high. We're talking about some of the highest
numbers we've seen in fifteen years. And as I was
saying during the break, if you come to the emergency
room with me, you would very much see it. Many
of my patients suffering from the symptoms of flu A
and test positivity is also high. Twenty five percent of
tests for turning back positive this year compared to eighteen percent.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's a lot last year.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
It's a long contribute to that thirty.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Five times we prevent compose to a half a million hospitalizations.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm remembering my grandpa telling me, you're going to catch
a cold if you go outside when it's freezing out right,
And we've seen these like fluctuations and temperatures of the cold.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And now the warm up.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
But does the weather really play any difference in making
people sick?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
You know, I think that's a great question, and my
answer is yes, but not all of what we think
is to be true. Our grandparents are right, when you
go out cold, that does suppress your immune system, can
make you more susceptible to infections. But really what it
is is that when it gets cold, we all move
inside and we all share derms, and that increases our
risk of exposure.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The good news is.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
That right now we're seeing relatively or signs of a
relative peak, which we can remain hopeful for, but we
have to remain cautious. The flue season extends until early spring,
so you still have to protect yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You still have to protect yourself.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Okay, So let's talk about the measles in West Texas.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
We see that outbreak cases are spreading. Oh no, now
the measles are going to get us. What are the
symptoms here? When do you actually see them?
Speaker 7 (05:29):
So measles is doing what it does best, spreading. It's
the most contagious infection that exists.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Just for context, How about that the most contagious infection, measles.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
So measles is doing what it does best, spreading. It's
the most contagious infection that exists. Just for context, One
infected person can infect up to eighteen other people who
do not have immune protection. And vaccine rates or reasons
why we should pay attention, they're steadily declining, and we
have pockets of communities that are significantly under vaccinated. Gaines
County in Texas, eight percent of children are not up
(06:01):
to date on their MMR vaccine. Measles months and rebella,
which is one of the reasons why we're seeing an
epicenter there right now. In close to thirty year in
Texas history, close to thirty years, some of the highest
numbers they've ever seen in terms of measles. So symptoms
to look out for have treated measles during our twenty
nineteen outbreak. Common symptoms include high fevers.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Sometimes okay, here are the symptoms. If you have these symptoms,
you might have the measles.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
High fevers sometimes exceeding one hundred and four degrees fahrenheit,
that textbook rash that can cover your whole body, cough,
and sometimes conjunctivitis. It can start one to three weeks
after exposure. And just remember vaccine's work. The MMR vaccine,
which you get normally between twelve months and fifteen months,
is up to ninety five percent effective.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You know, there was a lot of people at the
Screen Actor Guild wards last night that did not show
up for their award because they had COVID or they
had the flu. I think Marty Short was one of them.
Martin Short one for what is it only murders in
the building. I think that's what I SA reality was.
And he wasn't there. He got COVID at the Saturday
(07:04):
Live fiftieth anniversary, that big reunion. Somebody get him COVID.
And Steve Martin wasn't there either, and he won as well.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I mean the show won, and so they won two
big awards, but they weren't there to grab him. And
I bet Martin Short is kicking himself in the ass
because he had an opportunity to go up there and
talk about how you know, he's still his career's going,
still great. He's winning a screen Actor Guild Award. People
love him and they go, ladies and gentlemen, the winner,
(07:35):
Marty Short. Nothing, Marty's done here right now, we're, you know,
gladly accept this award on his behalf.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Marty Short had a chance to tell everybody in Hollywood
how healthy was, how great he was, how funny was
I'm still working my ass off at age seventy five
or seventy six, however old he is, and he couldn't go.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That sucks.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
That sucks because that's the last big award that he
could win for that show. Maybe next year if that
show wins. Is that a series or yes it is? Okay,
you know, maybe you can win next year. I don't know,
but man, he had an up golden opportunity and he
was not there.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That sucks. It really is horrible.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
All right, Well we come back. We have more news
on La Fire Department. Kristin Crawley was fired late Friday,
which is sort of a cowardly move, you know, late
on Friday, and then you have the whole weekend to
digest it, and then the story sort of goes away
on Monday. It's not going away. It's not going away.
There's a big fight now between Mayor Bass and the
(08:42):
city Council, and a lot of people in the city
council were not happy with Kristin Crawley being fired, maybe
even scapegoat, as some of them say, as fire chief.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
So come back. We'll give you the information on that
as well.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I just saw this on TV, so it's gotta be true.
We might have rain for the Oscars. That's possible, not likely,
but possible. So maybe rain on Sunday. The Oscars is
This Sunday, it's gonna be cold in La The high
is gonna be fifty nine degrees in the San Fernando Valley,
(09:24):
fifty nine. Let's see what it'll be in Hollywood. Hollywood
is going to get the Golden globes of the Oscars
and on Sunday, the highest fifty nine, lowest fifty and
the highest fifty nine degrees. So you're gonna get some
cold actors and cold actresses on Sunday with the red carpet.
(09:46):
So bring us sweater. Actors and actresses, bring a sweater,
all right, LA Fire Department Mayor Bass. Did Mayor Bass
fire Kristin Crawley? Was she scapegoated? Is she blaming christ
Crawley for the fires?
Speaker 8 (10:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Let's find out.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
We're hearing from Mayor Bass days after former fire Chief
Kristin Crowley's firing.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
She was absolutely not scapegoated. I would never do that,
but it is important for us to understand what.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
I think of.
Speaker 11 (10:15):
Bass says the former chief failed to make a thousand
firefighters stay at work ahead of the wind event that
came before our deadly firestorm, and that's why Crowley had
to take some blame. In a statement released over the weekend,
Crowley set her decision prioritized taking care of her fire
crews so they could better take care of communities. Crowley
worked for LAFD for twenty five years. The mayor's office
(10:37):
said Crowley has exercised her right to remain with the
agency at a lower Rank, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
More on Kristin Crawley. What's going on with this fire chief?
Speaker 9 (10:48):
Former Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley released a statement
today praising her department as one of the greatest in
the world. She also detailed what has guided her throughout
her career. Now hearing from Kristin Crowley one day after
she was removed from office as the leader of the
Los Angeles Fire Department, it's her first public comment since
(11:09):
Friday's bombshell fallout from the explosive Palisades fire that wiped
out a community, destroying lives and property January seventh, slamming
Fire Chief Kristin Crowley for the way she prepared for
and handled the catastrophe, and a subsequent review of the
fire department's actions. LA Mayor Karen Bass announced that Crowley
(11:33):
was out and an LAFD veteran was in as interim chief.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
And you know, she wanted to do this before. Remember
two weeks ago, there was a rumor going around that
Mayor Bass fired Kristin Crowley, and she wanted to do
it back then, but she couldn't.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The timing wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
So she just sat and you know, and hated her
and hated her, and then finally fired her.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
She is gone.
Speaker 10 (11:58):
I just met with Chief Crowley and removed her as
fire chief.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Now the response, avoiding any mention of Karen Bass, Kristin
Crowley released a statement Saturday.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Here we go as a humble public servant.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
For over the past thirty years, twenty five of those
with the LAFD, it has been an absolute honor to
represent and lead the men and women of one of
the greatest fire departments in the world. As the fire chief,
I based my actions and decisions on taking care of
our firefighters so that they could take care of our communities.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I was watching the Kings put together an event yesterday
for first responders, and I saw a lot of the
firefighters there at Crypto dot Com.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
It was hundreds of them.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
And then I turned on the screen Actor's Guild Awards
and they had two tables there of firefighters LA County
and LAFD.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And then I watched.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
The Grammy Awards and they were all on stage at
the Grammy Awards and I thought to myself, He's who's
at the station? These guys are all on stage now
where the firefighters we're at stations. I don't know, maybe
(13:16):
they're maybe they're off hours, they're suiting up and going
to these, uh these events. I think they're gonna be
at the oscars as well. I think they're you're gonna
see some firefighters at the oscars in either LA County
or LA Fire Department. They certainly deserve them. They raised
a lot of money yesterday for victims of that fire.
(13:38):
Great event. There were four teams yesterday filled with celebrities
and passed and my NHL players. It was fun to watch.
It was a great event yesterday at Crypto dot com.
Serving others all right back to Kristin Crawley, l a
f D, serving others before self.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Having the courage and integrity to do what is right
and with compassion, love and respect have guided me throughout
my career. A rep says Crowley will be making no
further statements on the matter.
Speaker 12 (14:09):
We had a fire chief who spoke up and told
the truth about what the men and women in the
LAFD need on the grounds. We need more money, we
need more resources, we need more staffy.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I have called for Okay, before we get into Karen Bass,
I have a couple of friends who are some are
still on LA Fire Department and a couple of retired.
So I asked a friend of mine, I said, what's
with the with the new guy? Is he any good?
And I got back.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Where it go?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, yes, sir good Man. He just retired in twenty
twenty four, well respected. So at least that's a good decision.
You know, she replaced Chris and Crawley with a guy
who the fire department respects. All right, back to Mayor
Bass here with the firing of fire Chief Kristen Crowley.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
I have called for a full investigation of everything leading
up to January seventh. A necessary step to the investigation
was the president of the Fire Commission telling Chief Crowley
to do an after action report on the fires. The
fire chief refused.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
You know, I find that really difficult to believe that
the fire chief just refused.
Speaker 10 (15:24):
The fire chief refused.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, so she's been asked to do her job an
after fire report, a post fire report, post action report,
and she refused. I find that really difficult to believe.
She just said no. I bet there's much more to
that story than her just saying no. I'll bet I'll
bet it's falls and I'll bet it's there's more to
(15:48):
that story. Then she was asked to do a post
fire report and she just said no, after that fire,
you're gonna say no, get the hell out of here.
That there is much more to that story.
Speaker 12 (15:58):
But this is the largest fire in the city of
Los Angeles, most damaging, with incidt with the housing. To
say that there's not going to be a report anybody
in the fire service, it's ludicris.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'm right, I'm right. Even the head of the union
said it's ludicrous. It's ludicros.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
There's absolutely good there's gonna be ten, fifteen, twenty reports
about what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I smell a rat. I smell a rat. It's ludicrous.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
It is ludicris. I'm telling you, this guy's right. We're
both right on this.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's ludicris. It's happening.
Speaker 9 (16:31):
The Firefighters Union president says Mayor Bass does not have
all the facts and is painting a misk.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Wait, he stole that line from Maya Rudolph. He lifted
that line from Maya Rudolph.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's happening.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's happening. Remember in that movie, what was it The Bridesmaids. Yes,
and she's walking across the street after she threw a
duke into the wedding dress.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, just trumps in the middle of the street. Yeah,
it's happening, right, it's happening.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, he stole that from Maya Rudolph. Well that that's
a big compliment to Maya Rudolph.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But let's hear the whole. Oh, he said it more
than once. It's happening, it's happening. It's happening.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
It's happening.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
It's happening. Oh no, through a duke in that fire outfit.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
The firefighters squatting in the street too, And what is
he saying?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It's happening, it's happening. Oh no, it's happening. It's happening.
It's happening.
Speaker 9 (17:30):
The Firefighters Union president says Mayor Bass does not have
all the facts and is painting a misleading picture of
Chief Crowley. Forty one year department veteran Ronnie Vianueva is
the new interim fire chief.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
The mayor says, any relation to Alex Vianueva, both public servants,
maybe ex chief x sheriff.
Speaker 9 (17:52):
In town Ronnie Vianueva.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Ronnie Vanueva's he related to Alex Vianueva.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
No I don't know that much about my views. My toevs.
Speaker 9 (18:02):
Ronnie Vianueva is the new interim fire chief. The mayor
says she will conduct a national search for a permanent replacement.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Great guy will come in from out of town and
get this job. Na I gotta hire from within.
Speaker 9 (18:15):
We will hear from La County Supervisor Lindsay Horbath in
the next hour for now, reporting live in the news center.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
Chris Wolfe KTLA five, Chris Wolf knocking it out, big
talk with that guy, Chris Well, all right, all right,
well the you know, the drama continues in downtown LA.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
So it's been a mess since January seventh, and doesn't
look like it's getting any better anytime soon.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Hey, here's something I've never seen before. Maybe you have
or you haven't, I don't know, but there's an airline
called Combat Air that flies. There are low fair flying
apparatus the flant of LA in Atlanta, I think, Cleveland, Detroit,
(19:07):
I know they go. There's a couple of Dallas. I
think there's a hub in Vegas as well. You might
know it as their lesser known name Spirit Airlines. But
there was a fight on Spirit Airlines and I've never
seen this before. It was in the Atlanta airport. Dozens
(19:29):
of people eventually got involved. But the fight started between
a woman and her daughter, a mother daughter. They had
it with each other nice they had had enough. The
daughter had had enough, or the mom had enough. Somebody
had enough and they the wife, i mean the mother
(19:52):
tried to choke out the daughter and the daughter fought
back and then a lot of people got involved. There
may have been a as many as eighteen to twenty
people involved. Big battle in Atlanta, Georgia. Huge battle. So
let's find out what happened. Mom and daughter went at it.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
It appears that the women in it are related, a
mom and her daughter. Thankfully, two men stepped in and
separated them before things escalated any further. Even SOE flight
attended say what happened that day points to a much
larger problem.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
All right, lots going on with the fight fighting at
Atlanta Airport. Let's see if there's an update on this thing.
Atlanta Airport. This is a pretty big one. They usually
they usually are you know, it's one or two punches
and it's over. But this one seemed to go on
(20:45):
and on and on. There's another version of this some Fox.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Are you looking to sell your house to Fox too?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Let's find out what's going on with Fox two. Fist
fly as brawl ensnares a Spirit fly waiting area in Atlanta.
Speaker 14 (21:03):
A brawl this flying among flyers in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Wow, now it must be twenty thirty people involved. Eight
people involved.
Speaker 14 (21:19):
This passenger's battled at the gate for a Spirit Airlines plane.
By the time officers got there, the maya was over.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
No word on what caused the fight.
Speaker 14 (21:30):
With so many airport or flying related incidents making headlines,
some people are thinking twice about flying.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
Well.
Speaker 14 (21:38):
The National Safety Council says flying is the safest mode
of transportation. Here are some things that you can do
to help ease your anxiety.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I wonder what they do with people who fight on flights.
I think that's a wrap on you. You know, if
you can't control it on a flight, I think I
think you're done.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Well, it was in Atlanta, Georgia, so Spirit Air Spirit
Air in Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Bad vibes, really bad vibes. All right, We've got another.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Story here on these sea lions. Everybody likes the sea lions.
Over a dozen reports of sick sea lions in Malibu
they were affected by the fire.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I don't out, so you.
Speaker 15 (22:20):
Know, the water probably isn't that safe right now for
humans or for animals. In fact, there's still an ocean
water advisory from here in Malibu all the way to
Santa Monica because a lot of the toxins that went
into the water after all the rain we got and
they really impacted the Palisades fire burn area, and all
of that went into the ocean. But right now, experts
are still working to figure out why exactly these sea
(22:41):
lions are getting sick right now. But again, this is
something that we've told you about before. These sea animals
have had issues in the past.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, these sea lions are not used to just eating
raw feces, raw human feces.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It upsets their bellies.
Speaker 15 (22:57):
In fact, again back in the summer of twenty twenty three,
Triosh Center was set up for them in Marina del
Rey after they got domoic acid poisoning.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's an algel.
Speaker 15 (23:06):
Bloom that sea lions can be exposed to by eating
contaminated fish. If it's a toxic strain, it can damage
their brain and heart.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah, it's faces. Hey, these sea lions don't know the
stomach for the faces.
Speaker 15 (23:19):
Now, this weekend, the California Wildlife Center said it got
fourteen calls about sea lions and distress in Malibu just
over a few days.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, and those are just the sea lions they found.
They you know, I'm sure that a lot of them
got sick and either passed away or sank.
Speaker 15 (23:34):
They say. All the signs and recent rains point to
this being highly suspicious for demoic acid toxicity as well.
So if you see a sea lion who looks like
it needs help in Malibu, here's what to do first.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
All right, here's what you do. If you see a
sea lion who's not feeling.
Speaker 15 (23:51):
So hot, stay away. They might lunge at you. They
could even bite.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
There's a good piece of advice. If you see a
sea lion that's sick, ignore them, way ignore them.
Speaker 16 (24:01):
They have lion in their name, that's right. Why do
you need a clue on what just do? When you
come across a sea lion, they can kill you. And
they're all infected. You know, they got all kinds of crazy. Uh,
you know, germs and bacteria rolling around.
Speaker 15 (24:16):
Stay away they.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Might also, they shouldn't just limit it to Malibu. I mean,
these sea lions can swim right anywhere.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Sea lions. Yeah, stay away from these guys.
Speaker 15 (24:27):
Stay away. They might lunge at you. They could even bite.
Second color TEXTA California Wildlife Center, so their marine team
can respond.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Text the California like you have that in your text.
Speaker 15 (24:38):

Speaker 2 (25:18):
There you go. You're a sea lion hot nump hot line.
Speaker 15 (25:21):
And now you're here on the beach. Some signs that
a sea lion might be sick. First, it's trapped on
the beach.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, it's dying. There's a sign it's dying.
Speaker 15 (25:30):
First, it's trapped on the beach. It looks really lethargic,
really sleepy, maybe even having a seizure. If it's also
craning its neck up, it's it's an action that's called stargazing.
They're stirring up to the sky.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Oh, my uncle used to do that when he drank
a lot. He's a stargaze. I never haven't heard that
term in thirty years. Hey, it's uncle Tommy. Hey, stargazing
in the back. Oh, that's Uncle Tommy. He's fine, he'll
be fine.
Speaker 10 (25:55):
Man.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Stargazing.
Speaker 15 (25:57):
They're stirring up to the sky. Those are a lot
of different sign So you want to call her text
that number just to be safe now I did.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, the stargazing, Dalton, I remember that term when I
was young.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF.
I am six forty.
Speaker 17 (26:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That that woman is cleaning up that Demi Moore?
Speaker 2 (26:18):

Speaker 1 (26:19):
De me moour, de me moore, Demi Moore. She's won
everything with this substance. Kicked ass. I know ron Or
you're a big fan of that movie. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I did like it. Yeah, you see in theaters it's
it's real subtle.
Speaker 17 (26:34):
Yeah, yeah, I don't remember where I saw it. I
think I saw it at home. I'd actually like to
enjoy seeing an audience's reaction to you about the last
third of it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I went to the movies with my wife, which we
don't normally do on a Saturday, at ten o'clock in Burbank,
thinking there's only going to be me and my wife
in that theater.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Nobody else is going to be there.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Sold out, sold out, there were two seats left, one
in front, one and back.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
We went home and rented it. The thought you were
gonna get some action that day.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Not I thought, but you know, if there's nobody there,
I could relax and you know, put my feet up.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
But it was packed.
Speaker 17 (27:12):
It's it's one of those movies that became an instant
cult hit.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, it really is great. And the music, you know,
the sound effects is so great. We played a little
bit of the of the.
Speaker 17 (27:23):
A s m. R. Of the of the Boss making
chewing sounds with the shrimp.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
That is so great. That's the most disgusting I've seen. Yeah,
him just eating right in front of her.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I think, well, oh god.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
He's eating those big shrimps and you know the shrimp cocktail,
and there's what was it, crawfish?
Speaker 18 (27:48):
Have you ever dreamt of a better version of yourself?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 18 (27:52):
Oh, younger, yeah, more beautiful, that's right, more perfect? Yes,
one single injection unlocks your DNA and will release another
version of yourself.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
What a movie. This is.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
The substance, you know, Ron, I've never heard that sound
effect before, but man is it did?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
They use it? Brilliantly? Brilliantly?
Speaker 17 (28:35):
And this movie sounds like some sounds I was making
after picking up food at a taco truck last night.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Substance got pretty close.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 19 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
And the the actress that played the younger Demmy Moore
was great too.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh is that Margaret quality?
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I think so. Yeah, she was great. Man. I loved
that you're high, let's go a perfect balance.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
And you know what, it's the perfect actress to do it,
because you know, behind closed doors, she's been looking for
the substance her whole life, you know, looking for some
way to look younger, more beautiful, and more acceptable.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
And she was into it. Man, that was a great movie.
Speaker 17 (29:22):
Every time I see to mean more though at an
awards show. What is she sixty ish?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Sixty?
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I don't think she has a lot to worry about. Yeah,
I know, she looks like she's in her late thirties.
She looks terrific. I really enjoyed that. And she's won everything.
She's won the Golden Globe, she won the Critics Choice,
the bath To European Film Award, she won all these
awards for you know, this movie. And I think she's
(29:49):
a lock for the Oscar. Is there a betting pool?
You're the gambler?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I would bet in heart, I would bet. I would
bet my house that she wins the Oscar. That's a
bold statement. I would bet my house man. All right, me,
Kelly's brothers, how you about? Did you see the substance?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
No, I'm not into the horror like Mark Ronner? He said,
what you call? I said, I'm not into the horar?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I see? Okay? Like Mark Ronner. O. Wow, let's be
abundantly clear.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's right, that's exactly what you said. What's on that
big show tonight?
Speaker 19 (30:23):
But we have a huge show tonight. We have to
talk about the decline of Hooters. I mean it'st a
sad day in men's history. Starbucks has laid off eleven
hundred employees and also cutting thirty percent of US menu items.
We have Dan Abram's, host of on Patrol Live, who
will be joining us.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I love him. He is such a great guest.
Speaker 19 (30:42):
We're giving away passes to Alamo Draft House as part
of twin Peaks Day, which is all about the films.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Of David Lynch. We there's just so much to do tonight.
It's a great show tonight, cute show and passed away. Absolutely.
It was just, you know, it was what a life
she had though eighty eight years tell you this. Did
you go to Howard?
Speaker 19 (31:01):
She went to Howard University and she was in the
same choir, the Howard University choir with both my parents,
and they toured South America together?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Is that right? True story? Are you talking about her tonight?
At some point I will do it to close out
the show, Okay, all right, So in the nine okay,
all right, excellent.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I will be listening, buddy. Always nice to see you.
Are you looking forward to the Oscars?
Speaker 19 (31:24):
Not really looking forward to it because it kind of
gets to be wrote where you kind of know and
I think you are right. This is Demi Morris year,
and it's just one of those things where this is
the Lifetime Achievement Awards. She's probably had better work that
she's done on screen, but this is when she's going
to get the award.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, I don't like the Lifetime Achievement Awards. I think
the Lifetime achievement are the people who won a lot
of awards.
Speaker 19 (31:50):
You know, sometimes it's all about timing and mood and
press releases. You know, it happened to Denzel Washington, has
happened to Whoopye Goldberg Man and Angela Bassett and other
people where they're not recognized for their best work.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I watched the Screen Actors Guild Awards last night, and
I'm a big but I didn't think I was going
to be a big fan watching on Netflix, but I
got into it. There was no commercials, there was swearing aloud,
and people were there are more themselves when they're on
a streamer than on a network.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Hopefully that'll be the future, but I don't know.
Speaker 19 (32:21):
I think it is these network tie ins that a
lot of these award shows have.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
It makes it difficult. But I noticed last night I
watched the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
And somebody must have told the presenters and the winners
of this, and it has to be because otherwise I
wouldn't have noticed it. Not one mention of Trump. A
lot of referring to the you know, to his office
and the oval office of it, but never once they
mentioned Donald Trump.
Speaker 19 (32:46):
Didn't notice not a single time. Did you watch Awards?
I was bouncing in and out. I had a really
full week here. I mean really full, is that right?
Running up and down the court with kids and youth
basketball and Donald Beach, Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know you gotta stop that. It's two your two
of them? Really, he thinks, So how old are you?
Fifty five? Oh? But you're it's way over.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I mean, you know, you get all my friends who
play basketball and tennis, they're all their sixties.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
They've all had acls and legs. And well, I'm not playing,
I'm just officiating. Okay, this is different.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
They keep it up, all right, Both Kelly's Old Crew
