1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: It's k IF I am sixty and you're listening to

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 2: Tim is, of course, I mean, because you can imagine

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: a talent of his stature, doesn't it work Christmas week

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: He's on his way to some exotic port of call.

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't ask where he's going. I mean, I don't

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: want to be prying. I also don't want to be subpoena.

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: At a future date, I can say here on and

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: I have no, I mean no knowledge of where the

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: defendant was going. Tim, I believe goes to a regular

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: location for Christmas, And isn't Christmas and the holiday season

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: it's full of tradition. It's kind of full of I understand,

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: it's full of ritual. You know, you could say the

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: tree or the lighting of the minora for for chinooka,

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: as Smokey Robinson would say, it is.

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: These these are rituals.

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: These are traditions, right, religious traditions, or they're just family.

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: But on top of that, you've got the traditions that

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: are associated with going to mom's house or going to

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: see the folks are getting or you're playing host to everyone. Anyway,

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: my point is simply that I think Tim has a

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: rhythm like that to his life, and so it's great

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: to be able to fill in as Tim is away.

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 2: We've got the full Conway crew here in the form

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: of Michael Monks in the news area.

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: Is that what we call it?

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: I was going to say the captain's chair, but I

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: kind of decided to Pola.

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 4: I'm happy to be your first mate today, sir, Yes.

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, And.

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: Should anything happen to me, of course, the first mate

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: has to take control of the vessel, so I hope

33
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: you don't just throw that term around.

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a there's a real responsibility that comes

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: with it.

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: Should that unfortunate event come to fruition, I am prepared, sir.

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: I believe that that's true. Steff foushe is here as

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: per usual. He's really in a way, I'm here the

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: senior member of the crew because everybody else is sort.

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: Of filling in.

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: But Magic Matt is Uh is here, which is pretty cool.

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: He's the producer.

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 4: No magic compared to belly ol though.

44
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: Okay, well maybe Bellio is pretty high bar, but you

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: have your own moves, which I think are are quite distinguished. Anyways,

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: great to have everybody here, and I've got a lot

47
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: to get to.

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: It's gonna be.

49
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: That's great to be here.

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 5: Mark.

51
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I don't know is there another voice. I'm

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: hearing something in on my headphones. Could you check those

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: two foosh, I don't hear me hearing some weird kind

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: of chel I'm so sorry.

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: You know, Angel's not right in front of me.

56
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: And because I am someone of sort of limited cerebral capacity,

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: I forgot, you know, unless something's right in front of me,

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention her so.

59
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: Very much of it. And let me just say that

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: you're working tomorrow as well, Angel, I am.

61
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 4: I'm and through the end of the year.

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: That's great, because tomorrow there will be an end of

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: the year mess that looks to be. I mean, if

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: forecasters are right a sort of biblical proportion, they are

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: forecasting a huge, powerful holiday storm and rain totals. And

66
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're aware of this because you're kind of

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: looking ahead in traffic. You don't just sort of, you know,

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: you look at different atmospheric events in different situations. Holidays

69
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: or early travel on the road, maybe a late travel

70
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: on the road, three day weekend travel on the road.

71
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: You look at all these things. I know, angel and.

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: Four to eight inches of rain across parts of southern California.

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: And now this is over the period Tuesday through Friday,

74
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: so it begins tomorrow. But I saw that La may

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: get two inches of rain in a day. Wow, this

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: is going to be a huge, huge mess.

77
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 6: Now.

78
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the roads are probably the way that many

79
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: will experience it, but there is a heightened risk of

80
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: flooding and mud slabs of course, across these burn areas.

81
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: And I think we'll be looking at evacuations, We'll be

82
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: looking at all of these different situations on the road.

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: They're associated with hydroplaning and and by the way, you

84
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: saw and I will get to what happened in San

85
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: Francisco when it comes to craziness on the roads. They

86
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: had a blackout there over the weekend and they have

87
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: so many of those Weymo vehicles that essentially, not only

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: did the whole city shut down, they had one hundred

89
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: and thirty thousand people without power, but the Weymo vehicles

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: were unable to communicate I guess at the home office

91
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: because it had its power off, and they ended up

92
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: with these Weymou vehicles all over town and there were

93
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: clotting streets and intersection were no I showed up. You

94
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: can find pictures that all over the place. I was

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: showing them on my my YouTube show this morning. But

96
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: it will be a rain Christmas across Shoving California.

97
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 7: We're expecting rain for essentially the entire week of Christmas,

98
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 7: but the heaviest period will be Tuesday and Wednesday, prompting

99
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 7: this flash flood watch. Now, take a look behind me.

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 7: Here we are in Malibu and this is right off

101
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 7: of PCH to Panga Canyon. Now, as you can see,

102
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 7: it is open right now, but my guess is they're

103
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 7: getting ready to close this as we get closer to

104
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 7: the storm. Now, as far as the flood watch, it

105
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 7: applies not only to this area but to all the

106
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 7: burn Scar areas and the foothill communities. Now, this route

107
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 7: down to PCH again, as I said, is still open,

108
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 7: and we're checking to see exactly when they plan to

109
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 7: close it because it certainly might be a possibility. Now

110
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 7: experts say they are almost certain we will experience mudslines

111
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 7: severe flooding, either from heavy rain or the clock storm

112
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 7: drains after an intense period of rain. At its peak

113
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 7: this storm could bring could be the hottest chriss excuse me,

114
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 7: the wettest Christmas on record. It's expected to bring about

115
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 7: an inch of rain per hour. This may be the

116
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 7: perfect holiday to spend at home, considering not only will

117
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 7: the streets be flooded, but also the freeways assigned from.

118
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: The rain, Sue.

119
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 3: That's where Angel comes in with that freeway mention. That's

120
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: what got me off on this show.

121
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 7: Not only will the streets be flooded, but also the

122
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 7: freeways assigned from the rain.

123
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: It's also going she didn't get a mention Angel in

124
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: that instance, work daring.

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 7: Not only will the streets be flooded, but also the

126
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 7: freeways assigned from the rain. It's also going to be

127
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 7: very windy. Gus could reach about fifty miles per hour,

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 7: threatening to topple power lines and trees. Now back out

129
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 7: here alive. If we just take a look at the

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 7: scenery out here this morning, you can see exactly where

131
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 7: we are and how affected this area is from the

132
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 7: recent fires, last year's fires rather, and how vulnerable this

133
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 7: community still is as they are working to build back.

134
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 7: So be very mindful if you live in the Malibu area.

135
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 7: Of course, having sandbags out will be a big deal.

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 7: You can go out to the library to get those.

137
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 7: They are being handed out. So just do everything you

138
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 7: can to be prepared.

139
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 2: All right, Malibu and Altadena, same story. The burnscarred area

140
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: is always on a kind of alert during these periods

141
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: that we have become accustomed to, but nonetheless can really

142
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: be appropriate given the fact that there's a thread here

143
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: that's super intense. I mean, on the low end, the

144
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: forecast is for LA to get between two and like

145
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: two little over two inches of rain two point three

146
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: inches of rain, and this is again these are computer projections,

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: but five point one inches is the expectation on the

148
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: high end, and if you're in the mountains, you could

149
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: get up to ten inches of rain.

150
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: I mean.

151
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: That's that whole lifting of the air mass. So as

152
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 2: the air mass cools, it has to you know, cool

153
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 2: to get over the mountains. The air mass is pushed

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: over the mountains, is lifted, right, and that's called orographic precipitation.

155
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: I think auras for air and graphics for it's in

156
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: the Latin, you know, or anyway, the idea is that

157
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: as it's lifted over, cold air can't contain as much

158
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: moisture as warm air, and so you end up with

159
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: more rain in the mountain so la in the flats

160
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: a little over two inches of rain, and again at

161
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: the highest elevations there could be ten inches of rain.

162
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: Really a scary situation. So you know, you can blow

163
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: off these warnings, you can blow off these general alerts,

164
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: but the reality is it's going to be raining. It

165
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: would seem anyway, potentially, if these computer models are correct

166
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: on sort of a biblical level, eerily appropriate for the

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: Christmas week, but it will be a mess. So I

168
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 2: would say, in addition to everything else, which is, if

169
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: you're in many of these areas that are sensitive, you

170
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: should be aware of evacuation warnings and this kind of thing.

171
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: But I'd also say, since it's such a travel intensive week,

172
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: that you watch for road closures, because I think with

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: that kind of rain in a short time you could

174
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: end up with a lot of that too. So that's

175
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: kind of the you know, the x's and o's of

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: what you should worry about. I do want to share

177
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: with you what happened in San Francisco. First of all,

178
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: they had a huge blackout. One hundred and thirty thousand

179
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: people lost power and then the fun really began.

180
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 3: That story.

181
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 5: Next, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from

182
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.

183
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: I just got some disturbing news and I wanted to

184
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: share it with you because it involves somebody who's a

185
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: friend of the show. And you know, and we all

186
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: remember the frequent trips to the show that the creator

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: of the Call of Duty video game series, Simpella made.

188
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: He was great, with a tremendous sense of humor. He

189
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: came in and we did a bit sort of where

190
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: I was pitching him a video game and I was

191
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: using the very narrative off of a different video game,

192
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: and I wanted to see how long it would take

193
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: him to figure it out.

194
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 3: And he figured it out right away, of course.

195
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: And he was just a frequent visitor, and Tim and

196
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: myself had so much fun with him. Vince Ampella, again,

197
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: as I say, created the Call of Duty video game.

198
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 2: And the news is just coming in that Vince was

199
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: killed in a crash on Angela's Crest Highway north of

200
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: La Of course you all listening no where. Angelas Crest

201
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: Highway is in the mountains, and he was driving a

202
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: Ferrari and the Ferrari had just exited the tunnel. It's

203
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: a winding two lane road, and the Ferrari slammed into

204
00:10:52,520 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: a concrete barrier, caught fire, and Vince was killed. He

205
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 2: is a larger than life figure in the video game industry.

206
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: Respawn Entertainment was his company, owned by EA. I think

207
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: he sold it to EA. I think we met him

208
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: he had just sold it, or was I remember there.

209
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember exactly where we met him in

210
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 2: the evolution of his company, but he was already big.

211
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: But I mean he only got bigger. You know, Titan Fall,

212
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: Titan Fall two, Apex Legends, Star Wars, Jedi Fallen Order.

213
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: He led an EA studio team based in Playa Vista.

214
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: The Battlefield video game franchise was his I mean, his

215
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: studios have created several of the world's best selling games.

216
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: I guess this happened yesterday afternoon. Now I'm just finding

217
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: out about it, though, and I'm flattened by this. He

218
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: was a wonderful guy. I mean, again, I only knew

219
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: him in the studio, but I mean, you have to

220
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: be kind of a roll with it person to hang

221
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 2: with with Conway and myself, and he totally rolled with it.

222
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: But he is again the former CEO of the video

223
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: game developers in the studio behind Call of Duty. And

224
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: this is a single car collision. It happened to twelve

225
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: forty five in the afternoon. Again, there's no influence of

226
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: weather or other factors. It wouldn't seem I've just seen

227
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: a video of it. He's driving this red Ferrari, So

228
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 2: I guess people are you know, videoing it along the

229
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: way because it's sort of a catchy thing to see.

230
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: And he didn't survive the scene. There was a passenger

231
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: in the car as well, but there are no details

232
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: about the passenger's identity. Apparently, at least in this story.

233
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: The Ferrari to ninety six gts, this red car you

234
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: can see in the video, slams into the barrier after

235
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: leaving the tunnel. That's a That car is hundreds of

236
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars, right, And they say here in the

237
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: story can go uh, I mean, obviously can go incredibly

238
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: fast as a Ferrari capable of eight hundred and nineteen

239
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: plus horsepower, And it looked in the video like he

240
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: was pushing it hard. Fifty five years old again co

241
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:42,359
Speaker 2: founded Respawn Entertainment fifteen years ago and then it was acquired.

242
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 2: Respawn was by EA, and they say he knew how

243
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: to create stories, create experiences, hit at the heart of

244
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: the human experience, terror, dread, heroism, all reflected in his

245
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: video games. And it's noted here he was a very

246
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 2: humble person. Many who work with him, worked around him,

247
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: say he was well aware of the impact that he

248
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: made on people. He never took it for granted, said

249
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: one of his colleagues. In a statement. EA Sports called

250
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: Zampella's impact on the world of video games profound and

251
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: far reaching. This is an unimaginable and unimaginable loss, EA

252
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: said in a statement, and our hearts are with Vince's family,

253
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: his loved ones, and all those touched by his work.

254
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: Vince's influence on the video game industry was profound and

255
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: far reaching. A friend, colleague, leader, and visionary creator, his

256
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: work helped shape modern interactive entertainment and inspired millions of

257
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: players and developers around the world. His legacy will continue

258
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: to shape how games are made and how players connect

259
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: for generations to come. Respawn Entertainment was his company and

260
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: a fifty five year old who has contributed so much

261
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: and is culturally so significant, right, I mean Call of

262
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: Duty and the many video game franchises he's been part of.

263
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: They are a lasting professional legacy. But Vince Sampella obviously

264
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: had a lot more to give. And it's really I'm

265
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: flattened by this news. I didn't know about it. I

266
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: guess it happened yesterday, but I'm literally just seeing it.

267
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: So Vince Sampella is dead at fifty five, in that

268
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: single car accident that happened in the noon hour yesterday

269
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: on that scenic road in the San Gabriel Mountains. Wow,

270
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: couldn't figure out why he veered off. I looked at

271
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: the video a few times. I just can't figure out

272
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: what prompt to this, but it is. It's a tragedy

273
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: for sure. So didn't mean to bring everybody down. But

274
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: he's a friend of the show, and I know if

275
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: Tim were here, he'd want to mention it as well,

276
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: because Vince was a real terrific element in the show

277
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: and he was coming in. He came in pretty frequently

278
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: for the time, and I'm smiling because he was just

279
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: so wonderful to roll with all the punches. And it

280
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: is really the saddest news when it comes to Vince

281
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: when we come back, we go to San Francisco. The

282
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: mess that is waymo during a power outage is the

283
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: mess they lived Saturday night in San Francisco.

284
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI

285
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

286
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw over the weekend. It

287
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: was Saturday night in San Francisco. Always a wild ride

288
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: and San Francisco on a Saturday night, but even wilder

289
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: given the fact that one hundred and thirty THOUSD and

290
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: PG and E customers had no electricity, no power turns out.

291
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: There might have been a fire, may have been a

292
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: some sort of failure down the line led to all

293
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: of these homes and businesses without power, So that in

294
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: itself creates its own kind of chaos. We are familiar

295
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: with that chaos in southern California. It's around planned power outages,

296
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 2: it's around unplanned power outages. We may even experience them

297
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: tomorrow as a result of rain. But what happened in

298
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: San Francisco because of the proliferation of those Weymo cars,

299
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: they're just everywhere, the driverless vehicles. Has anybody taking a

300
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: Weymo ride? Angel have you been in a Weymo vehicle.

301
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: I have not, h.

302
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: I've been in many of them.

303
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: Actually, Wow, amongst you've been, I'm guessing yes, you've been.

304
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 4: You'd be surprised. I've been very afraid of them.

305
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 6: But my mother and my ninety year old grandmother, my aunt,

306
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 6: were in town just a couple of weeks ago, and

307
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 6: my mother swears by the Weimo they finally got me

308
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 6: in and it was hilarious. My ninety year old grandmother

309
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 6: did not know a driver was not going to be

310
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 6: getting in the car. She kept waiting for him to

311
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: come back out of the store or whatever, and when

312
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 6: that thing took off, the number of F bombs that

313
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 6: flew out of that woman's mouth was hysterical.

314
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 2: I remember Jimmy Kimmel Dion a bit like that where

315
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: he put his aunt Chippy in the vehicle and you know,

316
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: supposedly the guy was going to get in, then he didn't,

317
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: and then the vehicle takes off, and of course they're

318
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: directing it the entire time.

319
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: Very very funny.

320
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 2: But she had the F bombs going, which is totally

321
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: which what made me think of it. Yeah, and Stefush,

322
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm guessing you have not been in a Weimo vehicle.

323
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 3: Either, So no, but I want to try one. Yeah, yeah,

324
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: it's Matt. Have you been one?

325
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 7: No?

326
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: I have not either, all right, so we have where Really,

327
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: if you take me out, we're just one for four.

328
00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: I guess.

329
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: On the it's somewhat exotic. I guess still, But I

330
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: was in the Bay Area a lot, and in the

331
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: Bay Area they're very common on San Francisco streets, so

332
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: for me it was pretty easy and sort of running

333
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: the mill to be in a Waymo vehicle. But initially

334
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: I had the same view that a lot of people

335
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: do it, like this is really cool, this is really scary,

336
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: and you quickly get past that and it becomes routine.

337
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: So the reason I mentioned San Francisco and Weymo and

338
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 2: the fact there are a lot of them, is because

339
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 2: when something goes wrong with that system, you're going to

340
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: notice it on a city wide level in a far

341
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 2: more exaggerated way than you might, let's say, in Los Angeles.

342
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: Now in La last night, even on the West side,

343
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: I was driving home from the West side to east

344
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: and I passed a bunch of Waymo vehicles on the

345
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: west side. So they are around, But in San Francisco.

346
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: They're everywhere, and so with the large blackout across San Francisco,

347
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: cars were stranded in the streets. The self driving cars

348
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: blocked roads intersection intersection after intersection. Much of the city

349
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: was dark because of the power outage.

350
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: And when these.

351
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: Cars get stuck in an intersection, four other Waymo cars,

352
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: you know, show up behind it, flashing hazard lights, blocking

353
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: the road and you can't get past. I've seen that

354
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: specific situation I'm talking about on a social media post.

355
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: There were many others. People were shooting videos from their apartments, etc.

356
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 2: So cars with human drivers were trying to navigate between

357
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: vehicles around vehicles, and way Mo suspended all service on Saturday,

358
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: so once the power was up the next day they

359
00:20:53,160 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: were back on. But the statement was this. While the

360
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: Weimo driver is designed to treat non functional signals as

361
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: far away stops, this year scale of the outage led

362
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: to instances where vehicles remained stationary longer than usual to

363
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: confirm the state of the affected intersections. This contributed to

364
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 2: traffic friction during the height of the congestion. In other words,

365
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: because the Weimo vehicle wasn't sure what was going on,

366
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: the vehicles in their words remained stationary longer than usual.

367
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: They didn't go they were just frozen. So the company

368
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 2: is saying, hey, we're going to work to try to

369
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: integrate this as they've put the lessons learned here. But

370
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: it is one of the results of what can happen

371
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: that has made people even a little more anxious about

372
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: Weimo again. They think there was a fire at a

373
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: PG and E substation, but that was a huge joutach

374
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon that started, and you'd think there might be

375
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: some way to pull the weimo vehicles off the streets,

376
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: but that's not what happened. They just kind of stopped

377
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: in place. By the way, forty seven hundred customers still

378
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: had no power as of Monday morning.

379
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: So Weaimo is.

380
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: In New York City conducting test rides with a limited

381
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 2: number of cars there in La County they started last year,

382
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: and that really is one of the biggest markets so far,

383
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: and this autonomous ride business is quite competitive. You know,

384
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: Weimo ain't the only game in town. Tesla and Amazon

385
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: are testing out their own services that rival Weimo and

386
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: use slightly different technology. Also Cruise, which is a startup

387
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 2: owned by General Motors.

388
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: They were in the game.

389
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 2: You remember they had their permits pulled that huge accident. Yeah,

390
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: one of their cars dragged a pedestrian for twenty feet

391
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: while she was pinned underneath the car. That was in

392
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: October of last year. So they had their permit pull

393
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 2: to cruise and they recalled a thousand of cruisers' vehicles.

394
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 2: So then they're in this kind of federal review process.

395
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: But the one hundred and twenty miles service area of

396
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: Weaimo in southern California may include you. So watch for

397
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: Waimo and also watch for these other companies. There's going

398
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: to be a lot of competition in the driverless car world,

399
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: and I think you know driverless trucks are next. There's

400
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: an economic impact of all of this, there's a cultural

401
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 2: impact to all of this. So this is it to

402
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 2: be continued, But this is definitely an inflection moment, as

403
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: they say in the evolution of Weaimo, as a power

404
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: outage essentially brought the city of San Francisco from the

405
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: standpoint of Weimo to a complete hal Now my question

406
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: is if you were in a Weymo vehicle, could you

407
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: get out? And I haven't read anything on that, Like

408
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 2: I haven't seen anything about someone being trapped inside. So

409
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: I don't really know what the story is. I would

410
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: assume that if people were trapped, we would really know

411
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: about that, Like that is something that would take flight

412
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: on social media. I haven't seen it at all, But

413
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: in any case, the Waimo story is to be continued.

414
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: They're lining up for hours at this spot in LA

415
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: and it's not the only spot they're lining up. But

416
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: why are they lining up? I will tell you about

417
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: that next.

418
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand from KFI

419
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: AM six forty.

420
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 2: Big, big rain, two to five inches of rain in

421
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: La in the flats over the period from Tuesday to Friday.

422
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: It's like the the worst window of rainfall in terms

423
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 2: of logistics for the holidays. It starts tomorrow and it

424
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: rains through Christmas Eve and it rains through Christmas Day.

425
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, does your injury get worse?

426
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: Like do you still have pain from your injury that

427
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 2: gets worse as the humidity rises and the rainfalls of steffus.

428
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 3: I wonder about you, do you know? I thought about

429
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 3: you though, like, like do your joints feel worse?

430
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: You thought about it because I'm getting old and you

431
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: feel like or you feel because of my many years

432
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: in the in the octagon as an MMA defender. The latter, yes,

433
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: as of I mean Stefush realizes that as a peak

434
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: athlete who gave so much and always left it on

435
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: the field, I do.

436
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: I have a bad neck. As you know.

437
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: I haven't slept a full night in many, many years.

438
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: And the gummies don't help. The gummies are pretty terrific.

439
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 2: Would they leave me hung over? I'll tell you the

440
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: other thing about gummies. Thank you for mentioning it, because

441
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: I made a mental note. Sure, the thing about gummies

442
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 2: the first I try not to do them all the time.

443
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to be like just a total zombie,

444
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: although being a total zombie sounds pretty good these days.

445
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: But I.

446
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: Cannot understand how you guys, I'm talking with you listening

447
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: out there, you people who are true like connoisseurs of.

448
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 3: The weed.

449
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how you lay off the munchies. I mean,

450
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: the munchies are destroying me. I mean, I will eat

451
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 2: everything in sight it is. I'm incapable of hitting the

452
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: stop button when I start to get that munchie thing.

453
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: Do you have that problem?

454
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 8: It is one of the hardest things because when I

455
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 8: used gummies to fall asleep, I was so happy. And

456
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 8: then I would go to the cupboards and find anything

457
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 8: that we had, Yeah, and I would make sure that

458
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 8: I clean it all out because it was just Yeah,

459
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 8: you're right. You can't put a pause on it.

460
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: Now. You're right about also about doing something. You're so smart.

461
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: You need to take the cookies and you need to

462
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: throw them in the trash before you do the gummies

463
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: if you really want to be you know what I mean.

464
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: I understand that people go eh, like Courtney always goes, Look,

465
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: you only live once you work hard.

466
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: Why are you so tough on yourself?

467
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 2: Go ahead if you want well, because I just ate

468
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: two entire sleeves of chocolate chip cookies and I think

469
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: that that's just not a good way to be. But

470
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: the other thing I've heard, by the way, if you're

471
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: just joining us, this is Marijuana Talk. Welcome. This is

472
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: a new show on KFI. I'll be your host.

473
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 3: Hell.

474
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: The deal with with gummies, I'm told, and with pot

475
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: generally from pot users, is that you get used to it.

476
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 2: Is that, Yeah, Mark, the reason you're getting munchies is

477
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 2: because you're not really a pothead yet. Once you get

478
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: into podthead land. Then you won't be munching anymore. I

479
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 2: don't know if I believe that. I don't believe that.

480
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, because I got to a point where I was

481
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 8: taking like fifty to sixty milligrams just to fall asleep.

482
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: Wow, and I would still get the munchies. Yeah. Yeah,

483
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 3: Well you're right.

484
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 8: I started to monitor myself so I would make sure

485
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 8: that I would have water and other stuff to eat,

486
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 8: to make sure I wouldn't just clean out the cupboard.

487
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: Sure.

488
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 2: Sure, And that's kind of see the first point. What

489
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: you're doing prepping for what you know is the inevitable.

490
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: That's the equivalent of throwing the cookies away. You're lining

491
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 2: up the kitchen such that Okay, I'll be eating, but

492
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be eating.

493
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: Just a bunch of unhealthy stuff exactly. Yeah, it's crazy.

494
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: I used to really eat so hell.

495
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: I think that's one of the biggest casualties of the

496
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: last year for me, is that I've kind of just

497
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: fallen into you know, pastry hell when it comes to

498
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: and I I mean, I've always loved pastries, I've always

499
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: loved chocolate chip cookies. But man, I just really I

500
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: think I have I don't know what's happened. I've lost

501
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: all sense of proportion, you know. But and you know,

502
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: one of the things that just and then I'll move

503
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: off of this. But one of the things about when

504
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: I first went vegan, I was like super militant about

505
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 2: being vegan all the time. And the thing that's good

506
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: about that is that there are not a lot of

507
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: desserts that are vegan, right, They've got butter in them,

508
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: and you're not supposed to eat butter. And by the way,

509
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: I think one of the great improvements to my health

510
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: came when I got away from butter and dairy. So,

511
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: you know, butter cheese, that sort of I loved it,

512
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. I mean I missed it. But

513
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: what's happened now is they have plenty of substitutes for that,

514
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: So it doesn't matter whether it's vegan or they've.

515
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: Got coconut butter.

516
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 2: They've got all kinds of other ways in which they

517
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: can basically substitute the things that used to be there.

518
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 2: So now there are tons of vegan pastries. I mean,

519
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: you can I can just sit around and you know,

520
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: watch football, and I eat a whole cheesecake.

521
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 3: That's Vegan.

522
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: It's so all I'm trying to say is that to

523
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: get back to what gets us any governor, you have

524
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: any a sense of restraint, you lose it because you

525
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: know you're no longer in commit And I'll throw one

526
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: last thing in. If you have a cocktail and you're

527
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: buzzed from forget it, I mean you'll go to the

528
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: neighbor's house to get more food. I mean it is insane.

529
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: I have truly no restraint on any temptation when I've

530
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: had a cocktail and I've got the edibles going. So anyway,

531
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: that's the uh you know this is you're talking to

532
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: a guy I didn't get high for I don't know

533
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: what it was thirty five years. So I'm not like

534
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 2: some you. The guy who always was a pothead all

535
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: my life. Now just the opposite. And here I am.

536
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 2: I'm getting drawn into the dark side, and I love

537
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: it so and again Courtney always says, look, you're so

538
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: hard on yourself.

539
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: It's fine. Enjoy your life.

540
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: She's a real, you know, yolo person, and you can

541
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: yolo yourself right up to you know, five six hundred pounds, right,

542
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 2: be one of those on one of those carts that

543
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: I wheel up to a blackjack table in Las Vegas. Yeah,

544
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: then I start smoking, yeah, then having the gym beam

545
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: between hands.

546
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: Before you know it, you go. What happened to Mark Thompson?

547
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

548
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: Saw him at Caesar's Palace a few years ago and

549
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: he was in one of those carts choking down a button.

550
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: He looked like it was high or something.
