before Mother's Day. Wango tango. Yes, all right. The La
Dodgers La Dodgers are always in the news for something cool.
(02:20):
Meet the man who's been photographing the Dodgers for nearly
forty seasons. Forty seasons. With this guy, he.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Has access like no one else does, witnessing the action
from the dugout, the field, the stands, and all of it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
From a camera.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
What a job. Huh. You're a big Dodger fan. Is
your job, just take pictures all day?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh Man, John Sue, who is the first Asian American
photographer in MLB history and honor, he wasn't trying to achieve.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
You know, it's pretty cool looking back at forty forty years.
But I'm just happy to be a photographer that was
considered skilled enough without looking at this color of my
skin and my hair. That's what makes it worth it
all because my images are accepted before my race will
be accepted.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's right. I like this guy, you know enough with
the race and the first of this and the first
that this guy's good at what he does. That's why
they hired him.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, John got a start while as judent a USC
working for The Daily Trojan, but his body of work
has evolved. It's no doubt if you've been to an
LA sporting event you've seen John's work.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
The photo editor Dave Drochik said, you know what, let's
listening different with Kobe instead of making Dounkle having to
slay down on the ground and you just kind of
light it kind of like this that and the other,
and so I lit it and it was probably one
of my most iconic photos.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The Ssuho family is Chinatown Royalty. John's grandfather was an
important part of the immigration movement, acknowledged as the co
founder of New Chinatown. Recently, John served as the Grand
Marshal of the one hundred and twenty six annual Golden
Dragon Parade in Chinatown, the same place that commemorates the
Sulu lineage.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
The impact that my grandfather had, it was just an
honor to be able to be in that parade representing
him and his plight of what he brought to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Howre you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Can you get your out of them?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Buna, which on means to the LA community, isn't lost
on the Dodgers organization.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Wild and he's just so creative in the way he
goes about it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, if you've seen any pictures of the LA Dodgers
over the last forty years, and most of us have,
this guy is responsible.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
He finds the angles, he finds things the emotion and
players that most people can't find.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Capturing the player's personal and professional milestones is an important
part of Blue history.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's right, He's the best man, all right. Newark, New Jersey,
Bad Vibes. I had a friends who are supposed to
go to New York on Saturday morning and their flight
was at five thirty am, so they woke up at
two point thirty to get to the airport. Canceled, canceled,
They're booked on another flight at ten am. Stayed at
(05:06):
the airport and we're able to get out at ten am.
No canceled. They spent from four point thirty or four
to thirty in the morning or four o'clock until noon
or one o'clock at lax, never got on a flight
and had to drive home. How furious would you be?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Today's weather will no doubt have an impact on delays
at Newark Airport. This is a live look at the
airport that has seen traffic delays for eight straight days.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Now.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Combine the weather with a shortage of air traffic controllers
and construction on a runway, and it's all causing travel
headches for many Now, some elected officials are demanding a
federal investigation into all of the chaos.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
We need the Office of Inspector General to look into
how the FAA is managing its multifold mission of keeping
the flying public safe. That's right and the airspace efficient.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Amid the national air traffic controler shortage, possible political pressures,
and tech failures.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
United Airlines has more than twenty percent of FAA air
traffic controllers walked off the job, and that means Newark
Airport simply cannot handle the planes scheduled to operate here
in the weeks and months ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Great, right before summer, they'll take.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Off the turbulence. Sorry, the turbulence at Newark Airport is
only growing. United Airlines announced it would cancel thirty five
round trip flights daily, a necessary step it said to
protect its customers. Officials say air traffic control outages and
staffing limitations are to blame for mounting delays and cancelations
at Newark Airport. Arian Nishra has been trying to get
(06:43):
to New Delhi, India since last night. His first flight
was canceled, his new flight delayed by seven hours.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh my god, how about that at the airport for
twelve hours trying to get out.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
Nobody knows what's next and if my flight's getting delate
more so, of course, it's very difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Number one, and number two is that it's it's it's painful.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
Adding to the frustration, runway construction has had this airport
down to just one runway at times.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Here's a good idea coming up on late spring, early summer.
Let's reduce the runways, let's reduce the air traffic controllers,
and let's reduce the mechanics and everything should be fine.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
Well, the summer travel season just weeks away. The Department
of Transportation has been trying to find solutions, including a
long term plan to hire more air traffic controllers and
delay retirement.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, but that's going to take a while, I think.
Speaker 10 (07:38):
For now, some travelers say they are frustrated and worried
as airlines grapple with FAA challenges that force air traffic
controllers to walk off the job.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They have the most critical job for our safety, and
so if they are understaffed and the people that are
covering are going to be overtired because they are doing
longer shifts. As a flyer, that's making me feel very nervous.
Speaker 11 (08:04):
Actually, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Would be too.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
And later this week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's expected to
lay out a plan to help modernize air traffic control
technology outside of Newark Airport. Crystal Fanmore Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I will okay, and then we have a quick story
here the micro farms turning lawns into micro farms. Maybe
we'll come back and do this. What if I told
you you.
Speaker 11 (08:28):
Can find a farm in the middle of a South
La neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
We're here at my home, the degnanm micro Farm in
La Mert Park.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Meet Jamiah Hargins. That's right, Thank you, Rod. This guy's great.
He's got a great attitude. That's intastic. You see him
on the news. Yes, he's great. Yeah, he's helping everybody
out too.
Speaker 11 (08:45):
Jamiah is the founder of cropswap La, which builds these
tiny farms in people's yards. And today we're in his
yard at the corner of Degnan and Coliseum.
Speaker 12 (08:55):
But when we saw this house on the market, in
the big front yard, we decided this is a perfect
place for our heads to land amid.
Speaker 11 (09:01):
A sea of manicured green lawns. The Degnit Microfarm stands
out in Lambert Park, using all the space around the
home to grow everything from beats to peaches, strawberries to carrots.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's got arms and legs.
Speaker 11 (09:15):
Jamiah even had me try some freshly picked buck chores.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Oh, it's to listen, right, I'm glad you like it.
Speaker 11 (09:22):
Much of South LA has long been considered a food desert.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
These are our tomatoes, and micro.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Farms like these are playing a key role in giving
the community here access to healthy foods.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's not just a garden. He has them like on
shelves where he's like they're three or four levels high,
and he's building it throughout the entire front yard. That's
a cool idea.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I like that guy.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
All Right, we're gonna take a break. It is the
Conway Show, KFI am six. It is the Conway Show.
All right, very very good. I think a lot of
people saw that the real ID deadline is coming up.
You have to have a real ID in order to fly,
(10:05):
and that's coming up the day after tomorrow, Wednesday. That's
the deadline. So if you're flying summerre Thursday, you have
a real ID, you're gonna have a real problem.
Speaker 13 (10:17):
Guess what, Sam Zia does not have his real ID.
I was not the only one that waited, Sam.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Usually you seem buttoned up in life. I'm not. I'm
the least heldtogether guy. Really, But aren't you a psychologist? Yeah,
so you you should be buttoned up? No, because you're
helping people butt not No, I'm just very good at
you know, not just faking it, but you It's basically
(10:44):
I subscribe to the psychological modality of it takes one
to no one. I see.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Okay, so birthday on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's my birthday on Thursday, and I don't have the
real idea.
Speaker 13 (10:53):
I need to go and fix a fired license that
needs renewed and real ID.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, so I need to go to the DMV and
like camp out for the couples.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Can be like four hours to help you know.
Speaker 12 (11:02):
Oh no, but I mean we have cell phones, we
have social media. We can just sit there and chill.
I'll put on my headphones, nobody can bother me.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I'll be good.
Speaker 12 (11:09):
Okay, you look at that as opportunity. I look at
those as opportunities for me to sit and chill and
have nobody bother me.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, that's not going to happen. You've had five years
that we've been talking about this. Yeah, the first deadline
was five years ago. Well, you got understand. I have
a superhero personality called Future Sam. I'm very very good
at procrastinating, and I leave all problems for that superhero
version of me. Do you get a.
Speaker 12 (11:34):
That's another problem for future Sam. Now future Sam has
to step up and do something.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Do you ever get patients to procrastinate all the time?
And what do you tell them?
Speaker 12 (11:42):
It's a matter of just real building the hot the
right kind of habits on a daily basis, so that
you can do a little bit out of time instead
of overwhelming yourself at the end.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Do they ask you if you procrastinate, oh, all the time?
What do you tell them? I'm like, yeah, I know
exactly what it means.
Speaker 12 (11:55):
I have no problem telling I'll get back to yeah, yeah,
well no, because that's the thing I know works, and
well I know what works for me and what doesn't
work for me. So I give people a little bit
of you know, I know that problem, I know what
that smells like. I know what might be able to
do to help.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, here it is real deadline. You got to have
it by Wednesday. There's nothing like.
Speaker 14 (12:14):
Waiting till the last minute, right. But the good thing
is it's not the end of the world if you
don't get your real ID. There are some options, but
we want to talk to these folks here, the people
who have been in line waiting to get the real
idea ahead of the deadline.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Hi, the SURI here for your real ID. Yeah, and
he's hanging himself. He's putting a rope over a beam
and he's putting a chair up to it because he
has a four hour wait in the DMV line.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, what's the process been like for you?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Not too hard?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
I actually have an appointment in July, but I decided
i'd take a shot today.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
See if the line wasn't too long, and the line's
not bad? So how's it going? Not too hard?
Speaker 15 (12:54):
Hey, very good?
Speaker 14 (12:55):
Well, good luck to you and getting the real ID now.
A lot of people are paying to get the real
ID because.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's right now. I wouldn't panic. But you do need
a real ID starting Wednesday.
Speaker 14 (13:06):
You will need it to travel or to get into
federal buildings.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
The truth is you do. But there are some other options.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Ah, not too hard, all other options.
Speaker 14 (13:16):
Take a look at the full screen here. These are
the other forms of acceptable identification you can present. Especially
if you're traveling domestically. You don't necessarily have to have
that real ID, so you can use your US passport,
you can use.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Nobody has one. Nobody has a US passport.
Speaker 14 (13:33):
Not too hard, uh, a US Department of Defense ID,
Permanent Resident Card, border Crossing Card DHS, Traveler's card, or
a foreign passport. Having a real ID will likely impact
you if you're going to be traveling within the United
States or if you're entering secured federal facilities such as courthouses.
If you do, however, have a passport, then you can
(13:55):
wait to get your real ID when your driver's license
is up for a renewal sale goes for your ID.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You can apply for the.
Speaker 14 (14:02):
Real ID by filling out the online application REALID dot DMV.
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Dot CAA dot gov.
Speaker 14 (14:08):
But you must then show up in person like these
folks here this morning to complete the application in person, And.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, what a pain in the ass this thing is.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And when you do come in, you.
Speaker 14 (14:18):
Will be asked to bring a valid passport or birth
certificate proof of California residency. And keep in mind it
does cost forty five dollars to get the real ID.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
What rip off?
Speaker 14 (14:30):
And keep in mind it does cost forty five dollars
to get the real ID.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's tough to come up with. It's pretty hard to
come up with that money. Uh, not too hard, guys,
wealthy Now.
Speaker 14 (14:41):
Specifically when it comes to travel starting May seven, a
standard driver's license will not be accepted unless you have
one of the other forms of identification paired with it,
as we mentioned earlier. Now back at here, you might
be thinking, what about kids. Do they need the real
ID to travel?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's a great question. Do kids need the real idea
to travel?
Speaker 14 (15:01):
I don't know, and they do not as long as
they are accompanied by an adulthood.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Okay, all right, so as long as you're not eighteen,
you don't need it as.
Speaker 14 (15:08):
A child, and they do not as long as they
are accompanied by an adult who either haw's the real
idea or has it the other forms of identification. So
if you are coming down, just keep in mind there
is a line. You can make an appointment online. But
according to these folks here, they say, so far it
has not been too bad. I mean, I've been here
in Culver City KLA five news.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
There you go, all I've got to get that real ID.
It's sometimes it's hard to get. Not too hard, actually, yah,
it is hard to get. It's hard to get. It's
three hours, BELLI, how long did you stand in line?
Three hours?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Four hour, hours and twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 13 (15:46):
And I actually did a lot of this stuff. The
night before it took a test and paid and everything.
So I probably saved myself.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
All right. And Oscar doesn't have one.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Oscar just admitted he does not have home.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Oh my god, man, we've been five years. You've been
We've been listening. You've been listening to people on the
station talk about you know, you gotta have it, you
gotta have it, you gotta have it. Yeah, you didn't
do it.
Speaker 11 (16:07):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We have a Mother's Day gift giveaway when we come back,
we'll tell you about that. It's a two hundred and
fifty dollars value, so you want to get in on that.
We're live on KFI.
Speaker 16 (16:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. Travel
is about to pick up for this summer. I'm a
big traveler. I usually like going on cruises with my mom.
That was my big deal in high school. I remember
graduating junior high, and in our family, they celebrate the
junior high graduation because that's usually the pinnacle of degrees
(16:49):
that we get and I remember. But anyway, let me
introduce Doris and Tanya here, Doris and Tanya from the
travel store.
Speaker 17 (16:56):
Is that right, yes, travel store?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yes, oh yes, pull that microphone right now for you
to so the travel store. You guys do how long
are you travel agents? Is that what it is?
Speaker 17 (17:05):
At this point? I don't sell much anymore, but we
have a whole team of people. We've been in the
business fifty years. Our company fixing its fiftieth anniversary this year.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I used to work for a company you might know.
It's Revel Travel. You know, Revel Travel. Okay, they worked
in they were in Beverly Hills. But I remember it
was American Airlines that first came out with the computer.
And before then we'd have to write tickets, you know,
triplicate on that red paper. And I remember when it
was or United It was the first computer to come
(17:35):
out with computer tickets, and you had to write the
entire line. You had to literally it was like coding
back then, and I always thought it was it was cool,
you know, just to be around travel agents. They you know,
I loved all the posters and all the billboards and
all the you know stuff in a travel agency office.
It makes you want to get out and go see stuff.
Speaker 17 (17:56):
It's a sickness. The more you go to, the more
places you want to see.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
What's the hot summer places. We have a big audience
that likes to travel. What are the hot summer destinations?
Speaker 17 (18:04):
So from here easy getaways. You can still go to Mexico.
That's still a good that's still a good draw.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, Europe.
Speaker 17 (18:11):
People are still clamoring to go to Europe. I would
stay away from Italy this year a little bit because
it's their jubilee year and they're just overcrowded.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Okay, well that's a good tip, stay away from Italy. Yeah,
what what's the jubilee?
Speaker 17 (18:23):
The Jubilee is their big anniversary they have, and it
just causes a lot of especially if you're going to
any tourist destinations, big destinations like Rome. There are way
more people here than normal.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay. And Japan is a hot bay.
Speaker 17 (18:37):
Continues to be a hot place to go. It's not
everyone's bucket list?
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Is that partially because of Otani?
Speaker 17 (18:43):
Do you think I don't know it could be from
this area. It could very well be because of Otani.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, it could be. Okay, So when you're booking in advance,
you can book cruises a year or two in advance.
Is that right, Leslie? Leave her alone? Please God, you can't.
Speaker 17 (19:02):
So, Actually, the cruise lines are released, you got to
get out. Cruise lines are releasing their inventory a little
further out than they used to. So there's some cruise
lines where you can already book twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Really you book it two years in advance? Wow? Are
the What is the most desirable is it's it's destination,
not the actual cruise line.
Speaker 17 (19:23):
For the most part. Yeah, every now and then there's
like some cool new cruise line that comes out that
people want to check out, But most of it is
figure out your destination.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
What's the biggest one? What are the biggest cruises?
Speaker 17 (19:34):
The Med? Everyone wants to go to the Med.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Okay, one of the biggest cruise lines.
Speaker 17 (19:38):
Well, the biggest cruise lines, Well, it depends how much
you want to spend. But you've got Regent, You've have Oceana, Celebrity.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
What's the most expensive?
Speaker 17 (19:46):
One most expensive is region region you're going to.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And that's the smaller ship for wealthy people.
Speaker 17 (19:52):
For people of discerning tastes, not just the wealthy.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Are there are there adult only cruises where you don't
have to deal with.
Speaker 17 (19:58):
Kids Virgin region, right, yeah, Viking also a.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Viking Viking doesn't at kids. Yeah, they're the ones that
cruise up the rivers.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
They do both.
Speaker 17 (20:07):
They have cruisers up the river and they have ocean
growing as.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I would love to do the cruise up the river,
especially the Columbia River up in you know, between Oregon
and Washington. But I also like to, you know, the
cruise that they do in Europe. The river cruise looks unbelievable.
Speaker 17 (20:23):
They are unbelievable. It's a great way to see it
because I love it because the minute you pull in
a port, you can just walk right off the ship
and you're already.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh that's right. Yeah, you don't have to take a tender.
Speaker 17 (20:33):
No, you don't have to worry about a standing in
line with a hundred other people. You just get on
and it off.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah. I took a cruise with my mom when I
was in high school, and I you know, that was
back before they staggered people to get on and off
and you'd have to wait sometimes four hours to get
on or four hours to get off. Wow, But they
don't do that now, right, they stagger you.
Speaker 17 (20:51):
They kind of stagger. You depends on the port and
it depends. Sometimes they have to tender you out, which
takes a little bit longer. You have to get on
a little you're on the really big ship and you
have to get on a small ship to get into park.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What are the like when a ship first comes out,
it's going to be the you know, the maiden voyage.
Is that a good cruise to get on? Or you
want to let them work the bugs out before you
get on, you know what, the.
Speaker 17 (21:15):
Very first inaugural cruise. I personally wouldn't recommend booking because
a lot of times those get delayed. Oh really yes,
because sometimes they'll take them out on a pre cruise
and kind of figure out what the bugs are and
they haven't worked everything out, so sometimes they get delayed.
So your plants can change a little bit. But shortly thereafter,
it's probably the best to go on because everything's brand new.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
When I with my mom back in nineteen seventy seven,
it was called the Royal Viking Star and we left
out of San Pedro, went to Alaska. It was an
eighteen day cruise, came back to San Pedro, but I
remember the whole ship. There was one little tiny store
that was opened four hours a day from noon to
four where you can get cigarettes or maybe a candy bar.
(21:57):
But now these things are like floating malls.
Speaker 17 (22:00):
They are floating mills. There's one cruise line now that's
like a floating hotel where you can buy Gucci and
I mean Rolex.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 9 (22:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Bring your wallet.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, and most of them have casinos.
Speaker 17 (22:12):
Some of some do not, but a lot of them do.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I don't think that the Disney ones don't.
Speaker 17 (22:17):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, I don't think they do.
Speaker 17 (22:19):
But the bigger ones Reoral Caribbean. They've got the huge.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Okay, now travel begins. What's the official travel? Sorry? Is
it Memorial Day?
Speaker 17 (22:28):
You can travel you around depending on where you want
to go.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Right, but when do all the crowds get out there?
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Oh?
Speaker 17 (22:32):
Crowds get out there usually when the kids are out
of school.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah, it's right after Memorial Day.
Speaker 17 (22:36):
Memorial Day all the way till after Libor Day.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And what are we looking at prices over the summer
for airfare? Outrageous?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Ye?
Speaker 17 (22:44):
Oh no, So if you're thinking of going anywhere, get
your airline ticket first and then figure out the rest
right now, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
All right, that's horrible that they've gone up that much.
That's terrible. All right, we're working on something where we're
very close to a deal. I know if Jeff Thomas
is in the room. We're very close to them on
a on a future trip that involves the show. We
can't mention much about it, but that's gonna be cool.
Speaker 17 (23:09):
We're looking forward to it. Everything works out, yeah, I
think it.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Will very nice to see you, Doris and Tanya and
the travel store. Yes, and what's the website for them?

I'm many agents are working for you. Wow, are you kidding?
And in what cities all over the country? Really? Yep,
that's unbelievable. You may be able to keep it got
together because you know so many of these airlines and
hotels have reduced commissions that a lot of those places
(23:52):
went out of business. You're able to keep it open.
Speaker 18 (23:54):
Well.
Speaker 17 (23:54):
The thing is is, if you want to book like
a small three night cruise to Mexico, you can do
that on your own, but if you want to spend
ten k on a safari, you want to talk to
someone who's been there before.
Speaker 19 (24:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
We we went on our honeymoon to the Bahamas and
we booked through a travel agent and man, we're lucky
we did because when we got there there was a
problem with the hotel, and that agent got on the phone.
Ten minutes later we were in a better hotel. Yep,
I mean they're worth third weight in gold. They really are.

guess what it's over.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
It is over.
Speaker 19 (26:49):
No, your computer is not ringing. You'll remember that sound.
It's the Skype Coal. Well, it won't be around much longer.
The video cooling app is officially going out of service
today now. Skype launched back in two thousand and three,
and it quickly caught on as a way to make
free calls all around around the world. Microsoft acquired it
in twenty eleven nearly nine billion dollars, and the app
(27:12):
is now being replaced with a free version of Microsoft Teams.
How did it go from being per we.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Have teams right, belly on, don't we do with Teams?
Speaker 13 (27:19):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Pervasive to barely used.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Yeah, that's right. After Microsoft acquired the platform back in
twenty eleven, it's slowly sort of added more features to
the platform and just but it also dropped the ball
a little bit on maintaining the quality of video calls.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So who would have guessed, right, was there Microsoft that
took it over?
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Let me see here, Yeah, that's right after Microsoft acquired all.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Right, So after Microsoft took it over, they just sort
of dropped the ball.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
But it also dropped the ball a little bit on
maintaining the quality of video calls.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So don't you don't say, well, that was happening.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Competitors like Skype Zoom I beg your pardon made sure
that its calls were better and then sort of when
the pandemic came along.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, zoom and teams were big five years ago.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Lots of companies many just switched to Zoom over platforms
like Skype. So yeah, Microsoft saying that it wants to
streamline all of its communication options under teams, so it's
deemed Skype to sort of be no longer needed among
(28:36):
its portfolio of offerings.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There you go, got good old days with Skype. It's over.
We have our winner. Who do we got?
Speaker 3 (28:45):

Speaker 9 (31:30):

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Maybe that's so sad. All right, Tanya, I appreciate you phoning. Congratulations.
Well we'll speak again, all right, take care. All right,
there she goes to Panga, Tanya knocking it out the
real estate game. Twenty houses a year. That's a lot
because the average house is probably two three million bucks
in that area. So twenty sixty million dollars if she
(31:56):

some money. Lady's not going to know here you go?
Speaker 9 (32:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We oh, no, I don't have time. I guess we
sort of do.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
We can talk a little about the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 15 (32:12):
I'm with the winning trainer Bill Mott. Bill, congratulations on that.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Run, Sovereigntyes, trainer Bill Mott.
Speaker 15 (32:19):
What were you thinking as they turned for home?
Speaker 18 (32:21):
And I saw him gearing up when he left the
four half mile poll, he started to pick up his
momentum and I lost him a little bit between the
between the you know, the half mile and the three eighth,
and I mean he made up a lot of ground
in a hurry.
Speaker 15 (32:35):
We stood here on a similar weather day like this,
not that long ago, and you were waiting about twenty
two minutes to find out twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I don't want to short you a minute, but it
was a long.
Speaker 15 (32:45):
Wait to win with Country House your first derby, obviously
a different experience. What's it like now to be here
and get that finish line first?
Speaker 18 (32:52):
This one got there the right way.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I mean, he's done well.
Speaker 18 (32:55):
He's a great horse. He comes from a great organization
and I can't say enough about the horse and the
organization that started him out and did everything to make
this happen.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
And that horse is going onto the Preakness, the second
leg of the trip. Ground sovereignty may win. Who knows?
Speaker 9 (33:13):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Mooe Kelly is up next right here on KIM six forty.
Speaker 16 (33:18):

drizzling on Friday or on Saturday and Sunday all day.
It was great. It was great. It's like living up

I get it. You hated it. You know, you want
to go out and play tennis or pickleball or something.
But it's gonna be warm this weekend. We're gonna heat

it's gonna be great this Saturday, May tenth, the day
before Mother's Day. Wango tango. Yes, all right. The La
Dodgers La Dodgers are always in the news for something cool.
(02:20):
Meet the man who's been photographing the Dodgers for nearly
forty seasons. Forty seasons. With this guy, he.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Has access like no one else does, witnessing the action
from the dugout, the field, the stands, and all of it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
From a camera.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
What a job. Huh. You're a big Dodger fan. Is
your job, just take pictures all day?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Oh Man, John Sue, who is the first Asian American
photographer in MLB history and honor, he wasn't trying to achieve.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
You know, it's pretty cool looking back at forty forty years.
But I'm just happy to be a photographer that was
considered skilled enough without looking at this color of my
skin and my hair. That's what makes it worth it
all because my images are accepted before my race will
be accepted.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's right. I like this guy, you know enough with
the race and the first of this and the first
that this guy's good at what he does. That's why
they hired him.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, John got a start while as judent a USC
working for The Daily Trojan, but his body of work
has evolved. It's no doubt if you've been to an
LA sporting event you've seen John's work.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
The photo editor Dave Drochik said, you know what, let's
listening different with Kobe instead of making Dounkle having to
slay down on the ground and you just kind of
light it kind of like this that and the other,
and so I lit it and it was probably one
of my most iconic photos.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
The Ssuho family is Chinatown Royalty. John's grandfather was an
important part of the immigration movement, acknowledged as the co
founder of New Chinatown. Recently, John served as the Grand
Marshal of the one hundred and twenty six annual Golden
Dragon Parade in Chinatown, the same place that commemorates the
Sulu lineage.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
The impact that my grandfather had, it was just an
honor to be able to be in that parade representing
him and his plight of what he brought to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Howre you doing?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Can you get your out of them?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Buna, which on means to the LA community, isn't lost
on the Dodgers organization.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Wild and he's just so creative in the way he
goes about it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, if you've seen any pictures of the LA Dodgers
over the last forty years, and most of us have,
this guy is responsible.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
He finds the angles, he finds things the emotion and
players that most people can't find.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Capturing the player's personal and professional milestones is an important
part of Blue history.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's right, He's the best man, all right. Newark, New Jersey,
Bad Vibes. I had a friends who are supposed to
go to New York on Saturday morning and their flight
was at five thirty am, so they woke up at
two point thirty to get to the airport. Canceled, canceled,
They're booked on another flight at ten am. Stayed at
(05:06):
the airport and we're able to get out at ten am.
No canceled. They spent from four point thirty or four
to thirty in the morning or four o'clock until noon
or one o'clock at lax, never got on a flight
and had to drive home. How furious would you be?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Today's weather will no doubt have an impact on delays
at Newark Airport. This is a live look at the
airport that has seen traffic delays for eight straight days.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Now.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Combine the weather with a shortage of air traffic controllers
and construction on a runway, and it's all causing travel
headches for many Now, some elected officials are demanding a
federal investigation into all of the chaos.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Let's go.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
We need the Office of Inspector General to look into
how the FAA is managing its multifold mission of keeping
the flying public safe. That's right and the airspace efficient.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Amid the national air traffic controler shortage, possible political pressures,
and tech failures.
Speaker 10 (06:05):
United Airlines has more than twenty percent of FAA air
traffic controllers walked off the job, and that means Newark
Airport simply cannot handle the planes scheduled to operate here
in the weeks and months ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Great, right before summer, they'll take.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Off the turbulence. Sorry, the turbulence at Newark Airport is
only growing. United Airlines announced it would cancel thirty five
round trip flights daily, a necessary step it said to
protect its customers. Officials say air traffic control outages and
staffing limitations are to blame for mounting delays and cancelations
at Newark Airport. Arian Nishra has been trying to get
(06:43):
to New Delhi, India since last night. His first flight
was canceled, his new flight delayed by seven hours.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh my god, how about that at the airport for
twelve hours trying to get out.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
Nobody knows what's next and if my flight's getting delate
more so, of course, it's very difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Number one, and number two is that it's it's it's painful.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
Adding to the frustration, runway construction has had this airport
down to just one runway at times.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Here's a good idea coming up on late spring, early summer.
Let's reduce the runways, let's reduce the air traffic controllers,
and let's reduce the mechanics and everything should be fine.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
Well, the summer travel season just weeks away. The Department
of Transportation has been trying to find solutions, including a
long term plan to hire more air traffic controllers and
delay retirement.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, but that's going to take a while, I think.
Speaker 10 (07:38):
For now, some travelers say they are frustrated and worried
as airlines grapple with FAA challenges that force air traffic
controllers to walk off the job.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
They have the most critical job for our safety, and
so if they are understaffed and the people that are
covering are going to be overtired because they are doing
longer shifts. As a flyer, that's making me feel very nervous.
Speaker 11 (08:04):
Actually, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Would be too.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
And later this week, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's expected to
lay out a plan to help modernize air traffic control
technology outside of Newark Airport. Crystal Fanmore Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I will okay, and then we have a quick story
here the micro farms turning lawns into micro farms. Maybe
we'll come back and do this. What if I told
you you.
Speaker 11 (08:28):
Can find a farm in the middle of a South
La neighborhood.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
We're here at my home, the degnanm micro Farm in
La Mert Park.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Meet Jamiah Hargins. That's right, Thank you, Rod. This guy's great.
He's got a great attitude. That's intastic. You see him
on the news. Yes, he's great. Yeah, he's helping everybody
out too.
Speaker 11 (08:45):
Jamiah is the founder of cropswap La, which builds these
tiny farms in people's yards. And today we're in his
yard at the corner of Degnan and Coliseum.
Speaker 12 (08:55):
But when we saw this house on the market, in
the big front yard, we decided this is a perfect
place for our heads to land amid.
Speaker 11 (09:01):
A sea of manicured green lawns. The Degnit Microfarm stands
out in Lambert Park, using all the space around the
home to grow everything from beats to peaches, strawberries to carrots.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's got arms and legs.
Speaker 11 (09:15):
Jamiah even had me try some freshly picked buck chores.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Oh, it's to listen, right, I'm glad you like it.
Speaker 11 (09:22):
Much of South LA has long been considered a food desert.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
These are our tomatoes, and micro.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
Farms like these are playing a key role in giving
the community here access to healthy foods.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's not just a garden. He has them like on
shelves where he's like they're three or four levels high,
and he's building it throughout the entire front yard. That's
a cool idea.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
I like that guy.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
All Right, we're gonna take a break. It is the
Conway Show, KFI am six. It is the Conway Show.
All right, very very good. I think a lot of
people saw that the real ID deadline is coming up.
You have to have a real ID in order to fly,
(10:05):
and that's coming up the day after tomorrow, Wednesday. That's
the deadline. So if you're flying summerre Thursday, you have
a real ID, you're gonna have a real problem.
Speaker 13 (10:17):
Guess what, Sam Zia does not have his real ID.
I was not the only one that waited, Sam.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Usually you seem buttoned up in life. I'm not. I'm
the least heldtogether guy. Really, But aren't you a psychologist? Yeah,
so you you should be buttoned up? No, because you're
helping people butt not No, I'm just very good at
you know, not just faking it, but you It's basically
(10:44):
I subscribe to the psychological modality of it takes one
to no one. I see.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Okay, so birthday on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's my birthday on Thursday, and I don't have the
real idea.
Speaker 13 (10:53):
I need to go and fix a fired license that
needs renewed and real ID.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, so I need to go to the DMV and
like camp out for the couples.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Can be like four hours to help you know.
Speaker 12 (11:02):
Oh no, but I mean we have cell phones, we
have social media. We can just sit there and chill.
I'll put on my headphones, nobody can bother me.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I'll be good.
Speaker 12 (11:09):
Okay, you look at that as opportunity. I look at
those as opportunities for me to sit and chill and
have nobody bother me.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, that's not going to happen. You've had five years
that we've been talking about this. Yeah, the first deadline
was five years ago. Well, you got understand. I have
a superhero personality called Future Sam. I'm very very good
at procrastinating, and I leave all problems for that superhero
version of me. Do you get a.
Speaker 12 (11:34):
That's another problem for future Sam. Now future Sam has
to step up and do something.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Do you ever get patients to procrastinate all the time?
And what do you tell them?
Speaker 12 (11:42):
It's a matter of just real building the hot the
right kind of habits on a daily basis, so that
you can do a little bit out of time instead
of overwhelming yourself at the end.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Do they ask you if you procrastinate, oh, all the time?
What do you tell them? I'm like, yeah, I know
exactly what it means.
Speaker 12 (11:55):
I have no problem telling I'll get back to yeah, yeah,
well no, because that's the thing I know works, and
well I know what works for me and what doesn't
work for me. So I give people a little bit
of you know, I know that problem, I know what
that smells like. I know what might be able to
do to help.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, here it is real deadline. You got to have
it by Wednesday. There's nothing like.
Speaker 14 (12:14):
Waiting till the last minute, right. But the good thing
is it's not the end of the world if you
don't get your real ID. There are some options, but
we want to talk to these folks here, the people
who have been in line waiting to get the real
idea ahead of the deadline.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Hi, the SURI here for your real ID. Yeah, and
he's hanging himself. He's putting a rope over a beam
and he's putting a chair up to it because he
has a four hour wait in the DMV line.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, what's the process been like for you?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Not too hard?
Speaker 7 (12:42):
I actually have an appointment in July, but I decided
i'd take a shot today.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
See if the line wasn't too long, and the line's
not bad? So how's it going? Not too hard?
Speaker 15 (12:54):
Hey, very good?
Speaker 14 (12:55):
Well, good luck to you and getting the real ID now.
A lot of people are paying to get the real
ID because.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's right now. I wouldn't panic. But you do need
a real ID starting Wednesday.
Speaker 14 (13:06):
You will need it to travel or to get into
federal buildings.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
The truth is you do. But there are some other options.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Ah, not too hard, all other options.
Speaker 14 (13:16):
Take a look at the full screen here. These are
the other forms of acceptable identification you can present. Especially
if you're traveling domestically. You don't necessarily have to have
that real ID, so you can use your US passport,
you can use.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Nobody has one. Nobody has a US passport.
Speaker 14 (13:33):
Not too hard, uh, a US Department of Defense ID,
Permanent Resident Card, border Crossing Card DHS, Traveler's card, or
a foreign passport. Having a real ID will likely impact
you if you're going to be traveling within the United
States or if you're entering secured federal facilities such as courthouses.
If you do, however, have a passport, then you can
(13:55):
wait to get your real ID when your driver's license
is up for a renewal sale goes for your ID.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
You can apply for the.
Speaker 14 (14:02):
Real ID by filling out the online application REALID dot DMV.
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Dot CAA dot gov.
Speaker 14 (14:08):
But you must then show up in person like these
folks here this morning to complete the application in person, And.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, what a pain in the ass this thing is.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
And when you do come in, you.
Speaker 14 (14:18):
Will be asked to bring a valid passport or birth
certificate proof of California residency. And keep in mind it
does cost forty five dollars to get the real ID.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
What rip off?
Speaker 14 (14:30):
And keep in mind it does cost forty five dollars
to get the real ID.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
That's tough to come up with. It's pretty hard to
come up with that money. Uh, not too hard, guys,
wealthy Now.
Speaker 14 (14:41):
Specifically when it comes to travel starting May seven, a
standard driver's license will not be accepted unless you have
one of the other forms of identification paired with it,
as we mentioned earlier. Now back at here, you might
be thinking, what about kids. Do they need the real
ID to travel?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's a great question. Do kids need the real idea
to travel?
Speaker 14 (15:01):
I don't know, and they do not as long as
they are accompanied by an adulthood.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Okay, all right, so as long as you're not eighteen,
you don't need it as.
Speaker 14 (15:08):
A child, and they do not as long as they
are accompanied by an adult who either haw's the real
idea or has it the other forms of identification. So
if you are coming down, just keep in mind there
is a line. You can make an appointment online. But
according to these folks here, they say, so far it
has not been too bad. I mean, I've been here
in Culver City KLA five news.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
There you go, all I've got to get that real ID.
It's sometimes it's hard to get. Not too hard, actually, yah,
it is hard to get. It's hard to get. It's
three hours, BELLI, how long did you stand in line?
Three hours?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Four hour, hours and twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 13 (15:46):
And I actually did a lot of this stuff. The
night before it took a test and paid and everything.
So I probably saved myself.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
All right. And Oscar doesn't have one.
Speaker 9 (15:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Oscar just admitted he does not have home.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Oh my god, man, we've been five years. You've been
We've been listening. You've been listening to people on the
station talk about you know, you gotta have it, you
gotta have it, you gotta have it. Yeah, you didn't
do it.
Speaker 11 (16:07):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
We have a Mother's Day gift giveaway when we come back,
we'll tell you about that. It's a two hundred and
fifty dollars value, so you want to get in on that.
We're live on KFI.
Speaker 16 (16:18):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
KFI AM six forty. It is the Conway Show. Travel
is about to pick up for this summer. I'm a
big traveler. I usually like going on cruises with my mom.
That was my big deal in high school. I remember
graduating junior high, and in our family, they celebrate the
junior high graduation because that's usually the pinnacle of degrees
(16:49):
that we get and I remember. But anyway, let me
introduce Doris and Tanya here, Doris and Tanya from the
travel store.
Speaker 17 (16:56):
Is that right, yes, travel store?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yes, oh yes, pull that microphone right now for you
to so the travel store. You guys do how long
are you travel agents? Is that what it is?
Speaker 17 (17:05):
At this point? I don't sell much anymore, but we
have a whole team of people. We've been in the
business fifty years. Our company fixing its fiftieth anniversary this year.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I used to work for a company you might know.
It's Revel Travel. You know, Revel Travel. Okay, they worked
in they were in Beverly Hills. But I remember it
was American Airlines that first came out with the computer.
And before then we'd have to write tickets, you know,
triplicate on that red paper. And I remember when it
was or United It was the first computer to come
(17:35):
out with computer tickets, and you had to write the
entire line. You had to literally it was like coding
back then, and I always thought it was it was cool,
you know, just to be around travel agents. They you know,
I loved all the posters and all the billboards and
all the you know stuff in a travel agency office.
It makes you want to get out and go see stuff.
Speaker 17 (17:56):
It's a sickness. The more you go to, the more
places you want to see.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
What's the hot summer places. We have a big audience
that likes to travel. What are the hot summer destinations?
Speaker 17 (18:04):
So from here easy getaways. You can still go to Mexico.
That's still a good that's still a good draw.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, Europe.
Speaker 17 (18:11):
People are still clamoring to go to Europe. I would
stay away from Italy this year a little bit because
it's their jubilee year and they're just overcrowded.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Okay, well that's a good tip, stay away from Italy. Yeah,
what what's the jubilee?
Speaker 17 (18:23):
The Jubilee is their big anniversary they have, and it
just causes a lot of especially if you're going to
any tourist destinations, big destinations like Rome. There are way
more people here than normal.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay. And Japan is a hot bay.
Speaker 17 (18:37):
Continues to be a hot place to go. It's not
everyone's bucket list?
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Is that partially because of Otani?
Speaker 17 (18:43):
Do you think I don't know it could be from
this area. It could very well be because of Otani.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, it could be. Okay, So when you're booking in advance,
you can book cruises a year or two in advance.
Is that right, Leslie? Leave her alone? Please God, you can't.
Speaker 17 (19:02):
So, Actually, the cruise lines are released, you got to
get out. Cruise lines are releasing their inventory a little
further out than they used to. So there's some cruise
lines where you can already book twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Really you book it two years in advance? Wow? Are
the What is the most desirable is it's it's destination,
not the actual cruise line.
Speaker 17 (19:23):
For the most part. Yeah, every now and then there's
like some cool new cruise line that comes out that
people want to check out, But most of it is
figure out your destination.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
What's the biggest one? What are the biggest cruises?
Speaker 17 (19:34):
The Med? Everyone wants to go to the Med.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Okay, one of the biggest cruise lines.
Speaker 17 (19:38):
Well, the biggest cruise lines, Well, it depends how much
you want to spend. But you've got Regent, You've have Oceana, Celebrity.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
What's the most expensive?
Speaker 17 (19:46):
One most expensive is region region you're going to.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And that's the smaller ship for wealthy people.
Speaker 17 (19:52):
For people of discerning tastes, not just the wealthy.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Are there are there adult only cruises where you don't
have to deal with.
Speaker 17 (19:58):
Kids Virgin region, right, yeah, Viking also a.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Viking Viking doesn't at kids. Yeah, they're the ones that
cruise up the rivers.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
They do both.
Speaker 17 (20:07):
They have cruisers up the river and they have ocean
growing as.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I would love to do the cruise up the river,
especially the Columbia River up in you know, between Oregon
and Washington. But I also like to, you know, the
cruise that they do in Europe. The river cruise looks unbelievable.
Speaker 17 (20:23):
They are unbelievable. It's a great way to see it
because I love it because the minute you pull in
a port, you can just walk right off the ship
and you're already.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Oh that's right. Yeah, you don't have to take a tender.
Speaker 17 (20:33):
No, you don't have to worry about a standing in
line with a hundred other people. You just get on
and it off.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah. I took a cruise with my mom when I
was in high school, and I you know, that was
back before they staggered people to get on and off
and you'd have to wait sometimes four hours to get
on or four hours to get off. Wow, But they
don't do that now, right, they stagger you.
Speaker 17 (20:51):
They kind of stagger. You depends on the port and
it depends. Sometimes they have to tender you out, which
takes a little bit longer. You have to get on
a little you're on the really big ship and you
have to get on a small ship to get into park.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What are the like when a ship first comes out,
it's going to be the you know, the maiden voyage.
Is that a good cruise to get on? Or you
want to let them work the bugs out before you
get on, you know what, the.
Speaker 17 (21:15):
Very first inaugural cruise. I personally wouldn't recommend booking because
a lot of times those get delayed. Oh really yes,
because sometimes they'll take them out on a pre cruise
and kind of figure out what the bugs are and
they haven't worked everything out, so sometimes they get delayed.
So your plants can change a little bit. But shortly thereafter,
it's probably the best to go on because everything's brand new.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
When I with my mom back in nineteen seventy seven,
it was called the Royal Viking Star and we left
out of San Pedro, went to Alaska. It was an
eighteen day cruise, came back to San Pedro, but I
remember the whole ship. There was one little tiny store
that was opened four hours a day from noon to
four where you can get cigarettes or maybe a candy bar.
(21:57):
But now these things are like floating malls.
Speaker 17 (22:00):
They are floating mills. There's one cruise line now that's
like a floating hotel where you can buy Gucci and
I mean Rolex.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Oh is that right?
Speaker 9 (22:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Bring your wallet.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, and most of them have casinos.
Speaker 17 (22:12):
Some of some do not, but a lot of them do.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I don't think that the Disney ones don't.
Speaker 17 (22:17):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, I don't think they do.
Speaker 17 (22:19):
But the bigger ones Reoral Caribbean. They've got the huge.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Okay, now travel begins. What's the official travel? Sorry? Is
it Memorial Day?
Speaker 17 (22:28):
You can travel you around depending on where you want
to go.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Right, but when do all the crowds get out there?
Speaker 9 (22:32):
Oh?
Speaker 17 (22:32):
Crowds get out there usually when the kids are out
of school.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah, it's right after Memorial Day.
Speaker 17 (22:36):
Memorial Day all the way till after Libor Day.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And what are we looking at prices over the summer
for airfare? Outrageous?
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Ye?
Speaker 17 (22:44):
Oh no, So if you're thinking of going anywhere, get
your airline ticket first and then figure out the rest
right now, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
All right, that's horrible that they've gone up that much.
That's terrible. All right, we're working on something where we're
very close to a deal. I know if Jeff Thomas
is in the room. We're very close to them on
a on a future trip that involves the show. We
can't mention much about it, but that's gonna be cool.
Speaker 17 (23:09):
We're looking forward to it. Everything works out, yeah, I
think it.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Will very nice to see you, Doris and Tanya and
the travel store. Yes, and what's the website for them?
Speaker 17 (23:21):
Www? Dot travelstore dot com.

smallest everything to the biggest. Yes, all right, travel Store.
I'm many agents are working for you. Wow, are you kidding?
And in what cities all over the country? Really? Yep,
that's unbelievable. You may be able to keep it got
together because you know so many of these airlines and
hotels have reduced commissions that a lot of those places
(23:52):
went out of business. You're able to keep it open.
Speaker 18 (23:54):
Well.
Speaker 17 (23:54):
The thing is is, if you want to book like
a small three night cruise to Mexico, you can do
that on your own, but if you want to spend
ten k on a safari, you want to talk to
someone who's been there before.
Speaker 19 (24:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
We we went on our honeymoon to the Bahamas and
we booked through a travel agent and man, we're lucky
we did because when we got there there was a
problem with the hotel, and that agent got on the phone.
Ten minutes later we were in a better hotel. Yep,
I mean they're worth third weight in gold. They really are.

It is over.
Speaker 19 (26:49):
No, your computer is not ringing. You'll remember that sound.
It's the Skype Coal. Well, it won't be around much longer.
The video cooling app is officially going out of service
today now. Skype launched back in two thousand and three,
and it quickly caught on as a way to make
free calls all around around the world. Microsoft acquired it
in twenty eleven nearly nine billion dollars, and the app
(27:12):
is now being replaced with a free version of Microsoft Teams.
How did it go from being per we.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Have teams right, belly on, don't we do with Teams?
Speaker 13 (27:19):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Pervasive to barely used.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Yeah, that's right. After Microsoft acquired the platform back in
twenty eleven, it's slowly sort of added more features to
the platform and just but it also dropped the ball
a little bit on maintaining the quality of video calls.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So who would have guessed, right, was there Microsoft that
took it over?
Speaker 7 (27:44):
Let me see here, Yeah, that's right after Microsoft acquired all.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Right, So after Microsoft took it over, they just sort
of dropped the ball.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
But it also dropped the ball a little bit on
maintaining the quality of video calls.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So don't you don't say, well, that was happening.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Competitors like Skype Zoom I beg your pardon made sure
that its calls were better and then sort of when
the pandemic came along.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, zoom and teams were big five years ago.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Lots of companies many just switched to Zoom over platforms
like Skype. So yeah, Microsoft saying that it wants to
streamline all of its communication options under teams, so it's
deemed Skype to sort of be no longer needed among
(28:36):
its portfolio of offerings.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There you go, got good old days with Skype. It's over.
We have our winner. Who do we got?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
The hey, by the way, there's Mark Thompson is the
thirty one is the thirty year old single?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Mark?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
God almighty, you don't have to answer that. You have
to answer that, okay. That's so rude of him to
say that that's how okay? All right? So to Pang
good Tanya, is that right?
Speaker 16 (31:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Okay? And then buy your house from topangad Tanya, thanks.
Speaker 9 (31:09):

Speaker 1 (31:10):
I hope you enjoy your facial.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
Oh, you're so wonderful.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Thank you guys, thanks for phoning. I'm sorry you got
burned out. When are you going to move back?
Speaker 9 (31:17):
You know, well, we're here now, we're into Panga. We
did not burn out. We're waiting for the road to
open so we can celebrate to Pangata for you. Are
you all come up and celebrate?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Are you ever going to go back to the Palisades?
Speaker 9 (31:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Maybe that's so sad. All right, Tanya, I appreciate you phoning. Congratulations.
Well we'll speak again, all right, take care. All right,
there she goes to Panga, Tanya knocking it out the
real estate game. Twenty houses a year. That's a lot
because the average house is probably two three million bucks
in that area. So twenty sixty million dollars if she
(31:56):
gets four percent two point four million, A lady's got
some money. Lady's not going to know here you go?
Speaker 9 (32:05):
All right?
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We oh, no, I don't have time. I guess we
sort of do.
Speaker 9 (32:10):
Well.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
We can talk a little about the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 15 (32:12):
I'm with the winning trainer Bill Mott. Bill, congratulations on that.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Run, Sovereigntyes, trainer Bill Mott.
Speaker 15 (32:19):
What were you thinking as they turned for home?
Speaker 18 (32:21):
And I saw him gearing up when he left the
four half mile poll, he started to pick up his
momentum and I lost him a little bit between the
between the you know, the half mile and the three eighth,
and I mean he made up a lot of ground
in a hurry.
Speaker 15 (32:35):
We stood here on a similar weather day like this,
not that long ago, and you were waiting about twenty
two minutes to find out twenty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I don't want to short you a minute, but it
was a long.
Speaker 15 (32:45):
Wait to win with Country House your first derby, obviously
a different experience. What's it like now to be here
and get that finish line first?
Speaker 18 (32:52):
This one got there the right way.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I mean, he's done well.
Speaker 18 (32:55):
He's a great horse. He comes from a great organization
and I can't say enough about the horse and the
organization that started him out and did everything to make
this happen.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
And that horse is going onto the Preakness, the second
leg of the trip. Ground sovereignty may win. Who knows?
Speaker 9 (33:13):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
