Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeart Radio app. Well, the
Menandez brothers might be getting out tomorrow before we get
to Alex Stone. If they do, they're gonna come right
over here to Kafi and kill me and John Colebel,
because we're the two guys that went after him Ken did.
But they don't know where Ken lives, but they know

(00:22):
where I work, they know where John works.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
So Petro seemed to almost giddy at the prospect today
with that.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Is that right? What do you say?

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Bernando's gonna be boom in this place.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Is gonna be first?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
That's great, all right, Alex Stone is with us? Alex,
how you bob I Ken retired?

Speaker 5 (00:49):
Huh yeah, right before He's like I'm out of.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Here, watch out, buddy.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I am very sad about the pictures that are coming
out of this Gene Hackman deal in New Mexico. I thought, look,
I thought even at the end he was this like
a big time, big shot actor. But it looks like
he was, you know, towards the end, and probably not
his fault, because you know, he wasn't of his right mind.
But like a pack rat.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah, and a lot of the pictures it's horrible now
from the Sheriff's department. Yeah, there was just stuff piled
up all over the place.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Not in all of that.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I don't want to see that though. I wanted to
have an image of him being a real classy guy going.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Why the family fought the release because I think most
of us remember him as what mid fifties to mid
sixties probably age wise. Yeah, it just kind of stayed
right there, and that's what the family wanted. But unlike California,
New Mexico, they have very open open records laws, and
all of the evidence photos, all of the body camera footage,

(01:46):
all of the police reports, surveillance videos of Betsy Racawa
of his wife, that's all public record. And the family
went and fought, and the judge said no, understate law,
it's got to come out, and that they could fuzz
out the sheriff's man had to fuzz out pixel eight
pictures of the bodies, but other than that, it all
had to come out and just kind of take you

(02:07):
through some of the audio of painting a picture of
their final days and what condition they were in when
they died. This is an audio from the deputies arriving
at the home. They got a call from a maintenance
worker who said something wasn't right. There was a door open.
They weren't responding. They were typically at home. Looked in

(02:28):
the window he could see somebody who looked like that
they were down and maybe needing medical attention. And the
deputies arrived.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
There's not another door.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Might be able to go around this through a collators
and so they find another door and as they go in,
there is a dog there tim a German shepherd that
is alive.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
They had three dogs.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
One died in the crate, the other two were alive
and roaming around the home. But the one was there
and protecting the body of Betsy Arakawa, who is down
in the bathroom. Thyroid pills were strewn about on the
countertop and the dog sitting there and well, no, they
were hesitant to go in, the deputies not knowing what
the German shepherd was going to do. But it just

(03:09):
sat there and looked at them like it knew why
they were there. It knew that that they were there
to help. But they go in, talking to the dogsbody
as well, and the doctor sits there and watches what
they're doing, and we know tim from these evidence photos
that and emails that are also in evidence that Betsy
Arakawa that she thought she had COVID, and she took
a COVID test came back negative. She canceled the appointment,

(03:32):
telling the person that she had flu like symptoms and
and wasn't going to make it to the appointment. But
she had this haunted virus which is rare but more
common in New Mexico than elsewhere, and it can mimic
the flu and then be deadly, and in her case
it was. But they they think she had been dead
for about a week before Gene Hackman week week and
a half. Then he died of heart failure. He may

(03:55):
have and the medical examiner says they'll never know, but
they he may have never been mentally a way enough
at ninety five and with severe Alzheimer's to ever know
that that she had died. But they they kept clearing
the house. They had their guns out, not knowing what
was going on. And then we see a feet over here,
and they go and they see the feet and then

(04:15):
there is Gene Hackman dead, just off the kitchen.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
For a while.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yeah, you hear him put their guns away as they
were clearing the home. They didn't know what was going on,
so as they like they typically would clear at home,
they had their guns out, but they thought they smelled
gas and they opened up windows and checked appliances. Turns
out that was a smell of food that was rotting
and the bodies and whatnot, but there was no deadly
amount of gas in the home. But firefighter had to
tell the deputies who that was, and they didn't seem

(04:43):
to know that he was an actor. They asked who
was Gene Hackman and.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
The way who didn't know who Gene had the cops
or the fire.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
The cops and the firefighter described he was an actor,
and and then they they sealed it up because they
didn't know at that point if it was a crime
scene or not. But there's another report that we've now
got as well from the he Health Department that found
that there were quite a few signs of rodent droppings
and rat nests and alive road on the property in
the garages and three garages, had in the three garages

(05:12):
and in one of their cars. None of it was
in the house. The health department report said that was
clean but It's not uncommon anywhere, but especially in the
wilderness of New Mexico for out in the garages for
there to be rat activity.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
But that may have played a role. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
But and I also noticed that they found tons of
notes that he had written to his wife around the house.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
Yeah, there were kind of love letters that's kind of
had written each other. This was all part of in
the moment when the crime scene texts were there. They
were taking photos of everything through the home, and there
were a lot of letters that now we know they
were to each other. It was hard to know right
off the bat who they were talking to because some
of them, you know, were like we had a great.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Day, love yeah or yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
It generally it seemed like they were to each other,
and many of them clearly were now that as we
go through them. The other thing from the photos that
we know there was some food in the home. There
was an open bag of bagels and some other things,
but there was never any evidence that he was able
to care for himself and get food. They found no
food in his stomach during the autopsy. That seems said

(06:18):
that he starving to death may have led to the
heart tire and the medical examiners saying that that probably
played a role, but heart failure is what it actually was.
With Alzheimer's playing a role. He clearly had something to
drink during that that week. We can have to to
stay alive that long, but food he may not have.

Speaker 6 (06:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
There was one note Alex Stones with us.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
We're talking about, of course, the Gene Hackman case and
the death of Gene Hackman, but there was one note
that I thought was really sweet. He said, for our
anniversary dinner, I apologized that I had to ask you
to help me make dinner.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, you know, because he was unable to do it.
That's a sweet man. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
And the ability that he could still write that note,
who knows helps him. The note was a note could
have been five years ago when he had more of
his faculties. But but still, yeah, that that he needed help,
and he knew.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
He needed help.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I was watching news with my wife, which I seldom do,
and those pictures came up and I'm and I and
I said, oh, they had to fuzz out of the pictures.
And she goes, who the hell uses that term fuzz out?
And I'm glad you did today because yeah, fuzzy, I
don't know what else do we? Yeah, right, that's what
you and I are right. I guess you and I
are correct. Yeah, yeah, we tell your wife. Yeah, fuzzed

(07:28):
out man, it's always right.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
The wife is always right.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
But I appreciate you coming on. I will speak to
you right around the Olympics. Beautiful right years see and
there he goes Alex Stone. Man, that's so hard to hear. Yeah,
I know, just all those details. It's that bittersweet.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Man.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Look, he was at the end of his time and
he was one of the greats.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Man.

Speaker 7 (07:50):
Man.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, he tap top top three, top five and my
all time favorite actress.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
He's like he hit that.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
He hit.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
He hit a moment in the in the early nineties,
late eighties, early nineties where everything was golden by him
and those cops didn't know who he was.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's odd.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
They have to be living in a you know, in
a cave, or they're very young, maybe their twenties.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
I beting they knew who it was, just not by name.
You know, you can't tell me that they hadn't seen
some of the stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
He's Oh, they had to have. But also, you know,
if he's decaying that there's no way they'd recognize him.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, And he looked so different in his
later ears anyways.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Because he just he just he just withered away.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Right, And for some of these guys, you know, we're
in their twenties. If that's not the newest, you know,
chick on Housewives of Beverly Hills, they're uchred, they're done.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
The notes that just it's a combination of it's just
it feels so nice and so sweet, but it's just
tragic tune.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, those notes are unbelievable. I mean, what a great guy.
You know, I had terrific dude, really awesome, awesome guy,
Gene Hackman. Well, at least we were alive to witness that,
you know, to see him in person and witness his talent,
and then that was cool deal, cool deal.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
The Duke of Sports joins us because the Lakers are
in the playoffs. Nice to see you, dude, dang dong,
get wrong with you, buddy? All right, So the Los
Angeles Lakers number three seed. Yes I thought they were
at six. No, wow, they're playing the sixth seed, all right, Okay, Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
What's with the play in? And who got tossed out?
Last night? I saw I was watching ESPN.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
The Kings were on ESPN for some reason last night,
you know, they were not my regular station. So I'd
look at all the ESPN guys, and somebody got thrown
out of the Falcons game.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
The Hawks game, The Hawks game, Hawks game.

Speaker 7 (09:40):
Yeah it was Hawks, Yeah, Hawks, Atlanta Hawks versus the
Orlando Magic last night.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Orlando Magic ended up winning a blowout.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
Trey Young gets tossed in the second half because he
decided to show up the refs.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
He was, you got to tease, Yeah, he was.

Speaker 7 (09:53):
He was upset about probably not getting a foul call
in the paint, and he makes a shot in the
the paint, gets the ball out of the net, and
immediately chucks it at the ref pretty pretty forcefully. And
you could tell the ref was not happy about it
because immediately the ref just drops the ball, takes his whistle,
blows the whistle, gives him a technical and then.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
He then he spun the ball backwards when he went
to throw it to the.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
Ref and well that was a different RAFTA yeah, that
was a different raft.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
But didn't he it wasn't that the guy that eventually
threw him out?

Speaker 7 (10:23):
Yeah, so that was the ref that threw him out.
He eventually gets a second technical. Trey Young is then
dribbling the basketball with some of the most pristine ball
handling moves I've seen, trying to make a fool of
the ref because he's like putting the ball right right
in front of the ref and then taking it away
right before the ref grabs it. He was just showing
up the refs, and refs don't like that, all right,

(10:44):
So the Dallas Laker trade.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
The guys down the hall are calling it the worst
trade in the NBA history. Well, his story of the
NBA probably for Dallas, maybe, yeah, right, could be the
greatest trade in NBA history for the Lakers because they
found their heir apparent to Lebron when once he retires, right,
and they are going as gangbusters with jersey sales of Luca, Yeah, Luca.

Speaker 7 (11:05):
He is the first player not named Lebron or Steph
Curry to lead the league in jersey sales this season.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
And millions of dollars billions, yeah, millions.

Speaker 7 (11:15):
I mean it's great for the league, for the Lakers,
for him himself because he obviously gets a cut of
his own jersey sales. But I mean when the trade happened,
the Lakers were in fifth place in the Western Conference
the end of the season. They're now in third place.
So clearly that was a great addition for the Lakers now.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
And they had a couple of games that they should
have won that they lost.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
Yeah, yeah, definitely, there were a couple of games in
the season, but that always happens. Yes, you tend to
drop a couple right here and there, right in January.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Right, I get it.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Like in baseball, every team wins fifty games, every team
loses fifty games, and it's that other sixty two games
where you make it or break it exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I got it. I got it.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
So the Lakers are going to play who we don't
know they're playing the minutes so to Timberwolves. Their first
game is Saturday the nineteenth at five thirty. That'll be
on ABC. That's this Saturday, Yes, on five thirty, Yes,
five thirty PM. And then game two will be on
Tuesday in Los Angeles as well.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Okay, all right, and then the Kings are also in
the playoffs, so they're gonna have to split up there
with Crypto for the next couple of weeks.

Speaker 7 (12:24):
Well, and this is actually the first year where we're
not going to have the problem of the Clippers, the Kings,
and the Lakers all being in the playoffs at the
same time because the Clippers moved to Englewood and into
it Dome, so they'll they won't have to worry about
the scheduling problem there.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
What about the Clippers? What seed are they? The Clippers?
They are currently You're not a big Clipper family, No,
I'm not.

Speaker 7 (12:45):
They're the fifth seed, but technically the fifth seed, the
fourth seed, and the third seed. So the Lakers, the Nuggets,
and the Clippers all finished with the same record of
fifty and thirty two, but because of how things shook
out in the regular seas, the Lakers had the tiebreaker
over both the Clippers and the Nuggets, so they get
the three seeds. Wow, all right, so that's very close. Yeah,

(13:07):
that's right. The West. The West was an absolute blood
bath this year. I mean, it came down to the
last day of the regular season to figure out the
final playoffs seedings and play in seedings.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Who is the favorite to win it all is at Boston.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
Oklahoma City and Boston, probably in Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
In Cleveland.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
Yeah, Cleveland had a phenomenal team this year. They were
first in the West or first in the East. Excuse
me for the majority of the season.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
That's pretty cool. Yeah. And are they doing with superstars
or just a bunch of.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
They do have one superstar. His name is Donovan Mitchell.
He used to play for the Utah Jazz. He's a
very young, up and coming player. Actually, I actually wanted
the Lakers to try and trade for Donovan Mitchell at
one point a couple of years ago, because I think
he's that good.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
But yeah, right now, and you're a major Laker fan,
they are my favorite sports team yet, and you want
in the playoffs, You'll watch every every second of it.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
I watch every second of just about every game, no
matter what playoffs, regular season, pre season.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yelling at the summer league, yelling at the TV. Yes, yeah,
all right, I get it.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
I talked. I talked to my TV a lot. I'm
with you. I used to be that way.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I'm still that way with the Kings and that someone
with the Lakers or Rams anymore. I'm still that way
with you know, jumping off the couch screaming, hey.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
How many times have you seen that NFC Championship game?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh, one hundred, one hundred times easily, But yeah, they're
forty nine ers in the rams.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I watched that all the time. But I like last night,
you know, it.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Was a meaningless game for the Kings, and I'm still
yelling in the house and clapping.

Speaker 7 (14:30):
I watched the last four minutes of the game because
I was waiting for Sports Center to start, and Seattle
scored three goals.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah. I was like, Seattle scored with like twenty seconds.
I was like, wait, are they going to tie this
game and send it to overtime? Seattle dump three on
them in the last fifteen minutes. And I'm watching with
my roommate who's from Seattle. Oh okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
But it's I understand, you know, getting behind the team
and really getting behind them and going to the games
and looking at it and and the you know, the
off season, the trades and everything, but man, it it
it's so many, so many years that it ten it
ends in disappointment, you know, yeah, you know, And and
it bothers me when the Kings get blown out or

(15:06):
thrown out, especially if they had been ten wins.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
It really bothers me. Yeah, of course. I mean what
Cubs fans used to say, Oh there's always next year.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, But I don't know if it's if it's healthy.
I think maybe it is. I think it is healthy
to get behind a team and live and die by them,
you know, I mean the guys. I got a friend
who is a diehard Cubs fan, Bulls fan, and he
loves the the Blackhawks, and and he wins it. You know,
his whole mood changes with these teams.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
No, I've I've definitely said it is not necessarily the
greatest thing. How much my mental health depends on how
good my sports teams are.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
But man, when they win, there's nothing like it.

Speaker 7 (15:46):
There's nothing like that, nothing like that euphoria.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's like when people say why do I go to
the racetrack because I don't get that my blood boiling
like that with anything else in life. No. Like I
love my wife's aunt, Cheryl, and I heard she was
coming down for Fourth of July this year, and I said, oh,
that's great. But I wasn't like, oh, yes, come on
with this, Cheryl, come on Cheryl.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yes, yes, yes, it's just never really got that way.
And I mean listen.

Speaker 7 (16:11):
You could lose ten bets, but if you win that eleven,
there's nothing like that. That's right, man, that's right, all right.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
We'll check in with you the Duke, the Duke of
sports on social media, and I go Lakers, Lakers.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, I really don't care when, but I hope for
you they win.

Speaker 4 (16:26):

opposite of on Yeah, okay, so let me tell you

other way?

You know?

Speaker 8 (19:15):
Really?

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah? Really?

Speaker 8 (19:17):

Was that right?

Speaker 1 (19:23):
That's right? So Bellio, you went to the DMV today.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
Was it? Wow?

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Five minute? Wait, ten minutes, a little more? How long
did you wait?

Speaker 8 (19:38):
Three hours and twenty minutes?

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Did they open early like they promised?

Speaker 7 (19:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (19:44):
And that is so posted up at seven thirty in
the morning.

Speaker 9 (19:48):
Yes, it was in Costa Mesa. It was one that
was reported would be open at seven thirty and it
was not.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
So.

Speaker 9 (19:54):
I don't know if I missed some like it opened
seven thirty on specific days or what, but it opened
at nine.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
There are certain days that they are not opening early.
And I believe Wednesday is that day.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (20:05):
I think so?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Really, I think Wednesday was the one day they don't.

Speaker 8 (20:09):
Okay, he couldn't have told me this.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
We talked, Yeah, we talked about yesterday, but I didn't
know you were going today. So you got the real
I d did you get it's going to come on
the mail?

Speaker 9 (20:20):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (20:21):
And when I think she said a few weeks okay,
and I actually you know my life?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Did you feel better?

Speaker 5 (20:28):
You got it?

Speaker 9 (20:28):
I do, mostly because now I can act like all
you snobs and you're like, yeah, I got mine.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Okay, girl don't play girl.

Speaker 9 (20:38):
My license was up for renewal in next year, so
I just went ahead and renewed my license and took
the test last night online.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
So baby girl, don't baby girl, don't play the girl,
baby girl.

Speaker 8 (20:54):
So anyway, so you got it.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
So I'm sorry, we're too busy h make you so.

Speaker 9 (21:01):
I I uploaded all the documents, filled out the application,
paid online last night, so it did make it a
little easier today Okay, so I highly recommend anyone that
can do that.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Do that, all right, you've got to have it before
May seventh.

Speaker 9 (21:16):
Well read what so we reach out to the DMV
to have somebody come on just, you know, to clarify
a few things in.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Okay, here's what it says, dear Ronchi No.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
No, to test that first paragraph.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well, we'd really appreciate it if you could remind your
audience that May seventh is not the deadline to apply
for a real ID. There is no deadline to apply
for one. May seventh is the day the federal government
will shoot you unless you have one.

Speaker 7 (21:46):
No.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
May seventh is the day, oh, the federal government will
begin enforcing the real ID requirement. Okay, I misread that recommendation.
Recommendation time. Californians who who do not have a real
ID can wait to upgrade when their driver's license is
due for renewal. In the meantime, use a federally accepted

(22:11):
document like a passport or a permanent resident card to
fly domestically. So anyway, if you need, if you need
a real ID right now, visit REALID dot DMV, dot
CA dot gov. Slash four eight two five slash upload
dot your dot documents, dot and DOT schedule to get

(22:36):
your real ID. Also, be sure to bring your uploaded
documents to the DMV appointment for verification. Office. Visits right
now are twenty to thirty minutes with an appointment. As
of April fourteenth, that was two days ago, more than
nineteen million Californians have a real ID.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Okay, all right, now, Bellio, you're in that group.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yay. That means fifty five percent of us have it,
forty five percent do so I bet.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
It's down to like thirty eight percent now.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah, you know, And I want to say it's snuck
up on us, and then I want to say, that's
probably the absolute biggest lie I think I could ever say,
because this was coming at us for five years. They
told us this in twenty nineteen. To get your real ID.

(23:29):
They gave us a break after break after break after break.
And Bellio, who's on top of everything. Man, she's you know,
all buttoned up when it comes to paperwork and work
and you know, all the stuff we have to do
for work and her insurance, her more etgage. Everything is
buttoned up with Bellio. But for some reason, she booted

(23:50):
that real ID.

Speaker 8 (23:51):
Yeah, I kicked this one down.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, she's probably flown more than any of us in
that period of time, is right.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
And she has to fly because you know, when her
mom calls her, she's got to go. No, that's true,
and so she needed it. So I'm glad you got it.

Speaker 8 (24:05):
Thank you, and thank you know the crew for supporting me.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Baby girl.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Please, you're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from
kf I am six forty.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Stephane. Do you think the audience knows where to look ahead?

Speaker 7 (24:25):
Is? No?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Do you want to tell them what it is? To
want to tell them what it is? It's like a
promo for the show for the next day, exactly. Yeah,
you want to give us an example of one? He
plays one. I have to go back and find it.
Oh they're not they're not. They're not loaded up ready.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Oh they're not.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
No, but I can tell them that's right. Okay, But
our look ahead was we're talking about tickets. I love
paper tickets old school. I used to make a I
used to have a job livering paper tickets for revel travel.
You know, back when you traveled and you bought an
airline ticket, you would have to go to the airport

(25:08):
to get it, or travel agency or in this case,
I worked for a travel agency and I drove tickets around.
I would get there at eight o'clock in the morning
and I would drive tickets from Revel Travel. I'd pick
up a boatload of them, and then I'll be on
the road all day long, just traveling, you know, driving
tickets around. Airplane tickets because you needed a ticket to

(25:28):
get on a plane, and if you didn't have a ticket,
you're not getting on that plane. And they didn't make
a copy for you when you got to the airport.
If you didn't have your ticket, you were screwed. You
had to go get your ticket or you buy another one.
And so I worked for Revel Travel for two years
and I a lot of their business was celebrities, and

(25:50):
so I'd drop off to a lot of celebrities, but
a lot of them also was big business. And I
remember going to the Farmer John plant down in the
City of Commerce. I think it is the thing that's
where Farmer John was, and Farmer John was a big,
big client. And I used to go to Farmer John
every day to drop off tickets, and those guys, those
Farmer John, the Wiener guys, or hot dog guys, the

(26:14):
sausage guys, the farmer John. I don't know where they went,
but they're always traveling, always going on to look for
better sausage or more sausage. I don't know what they
were doing, but man, they were always flying around, and
I noticed how. I'll occasionally look at the tickets first class,
the farmer John guys, always first class, buzzing around.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
But so I love paper tickets.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
I love having that piece of paper in my pocket saying, hey,
I'm getting on that plane and I can show you
this paper, right. I love paper tickets for concerts too,
because you can keep them after the concert.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
You can.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
From the nineteen seventies, maybe you went to a concert
you saw Peter Frampton or you know the who were
rolling Stones. You went to cal jam out in Ontario
and you had that ticket. That ticket brings back a
lot of memories. Or maybe you went to a Kings game,
you know they where they won the Stanley Cup and
you have that ticket. When you look back and look

(27:10):
at that ticket, it means a lot to you. And
now we don't have that anymore. It's all electronic.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Now.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
There are some advantages to having electronic tickets. Like I
used to go to Staple Center before it was Crypto,
and right at the end of Staprile, end of Staples
right beginning of Crypto is when they started the electronic
tickets and I didn't I couldn't figure it out.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I couldn't. I didn't know how to doubt.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
You had it down, like download three different apps and
then transfer the tickets, and I couldn't figure it out.
So I always went to the oldest guy, the oldest
ticket taker. I'd walk around Staple Center and I'd find
the oldest ticket taker at Staples Center and I'd walk
up to him and I go, hey, but I can't
figure this out.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
I've been trying to so hot out download these you go.
He goes me too, Me too, I can't figure it.
I'll just go go get I. I go, and I
just buzz in. Sometimes I didn't even have a ticket.
He just go, oh yeah, I get out of here.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Go.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
I don't understand that either. That's these young people, but
they're changing. Times are changing now. Airlines is going to
get rid of these paper tickets. That's the worst news
of the world.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
New airport rules plan to get rid of boarding passes
and check in and go fully digital. The way it works,
passengers would download a biometric passport on their phone.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, that sounds easy, right, Passengers.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
Would download a biometric passport on their phone.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yep, you just need a biometric pass for pass whatever.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
Drop off their luggage and go through security after a
face scan. Then you'd board the plane without showing your
ticket or a passport at all. But what does that
all mean for your privacy? Let's ask Kurt the cyber guy.
He joins us. Now, Katie on the staff here went through,
she said in Dubai. They just looked right at her
boom she goes in. So this is happening some places already.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Should we be nervous?

Speaker 10 (28:55):
I'm wondering who's in control of all this data? Great
Chris is going to be the one that keeps the
safety of all our deeply personal facial recognition data safe.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Isn't that over?

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Isn't privacy over? We all realize that everybody has our information.
Now that's done. There is no privacy anymore, none that.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Matches to our credentials.

Speaker 10 (29:18):
It is what people are calling the biggest shakeup in
the airline industry in at least fifty years. Airlines at
airports doing away over the next three years with the
check in process as well as scanning a boarding pass,
that'll all go away. A biometric digital travel credential will
be created.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Great sounds fun, doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Or it doesn't sound like it's going to be backed
up at all right around Thanksgiving?

Speaker 10 (29:44):
Or you could use your smartphone right it's going to
show your face to a scanner when you enter the
airport and boom you're in, just like Clay was saying.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
I don't think they used that term at the airport,
by the way, boom you're in. I don't think they
say boom at the airport and boom.

Speaker 10 (29:57):
You're in, just like Clay was saying. And this is
a you know, this digital travel credential will carry everything.
It'll have your passport on it, it'll have your driver's
license on it.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Have you ever seen those those signs in TSA where
they tell you you can't even joke about bombs or bombing,
you know, And I've never seen that in my life
anywhere where there's a no joke zone where you can't
make a joke about something.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
But you can't at the TSA.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
You can't make a bomb joke or a gun joke
or any kind of you know, offshoot of a line
like that, or you're gonna get searched. It's the no
joke Zone's there's no other zone like that. You know,
hospitals don't have no joke zones. You can make fun
of a guy, you know who's got he's getting his
leg worked on, or he's getting his you know, he's
a transnising and getting his wien er cut off. You

(30:42):
can make, you know, light of your buddy, but you
can't do it at the airport. They have the no
joke zone.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
We'll carry everything.

Speaker 10 (30:49):
It'll have your passport on it, it'll have your driver's
license on it, it'll have your ticket on it, and
it'll also understand your flight information to know if you're
in the right place at the right time. Well, this
is expected to actically shorten the amount of time you
need at the airport or or lengthen it by two days.
But again a lot of questions about who's going to
be in control of this data. We already know that

(31:09):
all they're telling is Clay is that as far as
what you and I scan in that when we go
to the airport, and we scan our faces that within
fifteen seconds, our data is going to be wiped from that.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Reader who believes that?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Who in the hell believes that in fifteen seconds going
to wipe out all that information? Nobody believes that.

Speaker 10 (31:29):
But what about on the other end, who's controlling all
of that? There are a lot of unanswered questions here.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, all right, well it's over, you know, the error
of privacy is over, and I guess we just got
to get used to it.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
What else are you going to do? Not fly? Sit
at home rest of your life? That's an option as well.
Hope you enjoyed that. It's Condway Show. We're live on
KFI AM six forty
