Speaker 1: Hello, everybody.
0:00
Speaker 2: It's Phil Henry with another Radio Archive Hour from the
0:03
Speaker 2: Radio Hall of Fame Phil Henry Show and philhenryshow.com. This
0:06
Speaker 2: is from May of 2000, and this is Art Griego.
0:10
Speaker 2: Art Griego, a private pilot. You know Art and the
0:13
Speaker 2: guy that we got to know as he was commercially
0:15
Speaker 2: flying people around. Now he just flies around for pleasure.
0:17
Speaker 2: He hangs out at the Santa Monica Airport. But at
0:20
Speaker 2: this particular time in his career, quote-unquote, I don't mean
0:23
Speaker 2: to put you down, Art. You're a good guy, except
0:25
Speaker 2: you're a little weird. He joined the program... from a
0:27
Speaker 2: communication site in Los Alamos, okay? Los Alamos, New Mexico,
0:31
Speaker 2: to explain why he believes that the circumstances of a fire,
0:35
Speaker 2: and there was a fire there near the Los Alamos
0:37
Speaker 2: testing lab, are extremely suspicious. Now, he doesn't know why
0:41
Speaker 2: there's none of those yellow fireman hats. He doesn't know
0:44
Speaker 2: why there's no Dalmatians. He doesn't know why there's no
0:47
Speaker 2: fire axes. In other words, what he thinks is suspicious
0:50
Speaker 2: is that these guys don't look like they come out
0:51
Speaker 2: of a TV show. Also, tacked on to the end
0:54
Speaker 2: is a great Ted Bell flashback.
0:57
Speaker 1: So let's listen. Art Griego. Right now, Art Griego is
1:00
Speaker 1: down in Mike Schaefer.
1:02
Speaker 3: My producer is telling me that Art Griego is just
1:05
Speaker 3: outside of Los Alamos, New Mexico right now. We wanted
1:07
Speaker 3: to talk to him, find out where are you right now, Art,
1:11
Speaker 3: if you can tell us, give us some idea as
1:14
Speaker 3: to where you are at this time.
1:15
Speaker 4: I'm near Los Alamos, probably about five, six miles away
1:21
Speaker 4: from the city center. And I'm I'm doing the very
1:24
Speaker 4: best I can to monitor the situation.
1:26
Speaker 1: Where are you?
1:28
Speaker 4: I'm in a control center. We have a communications center
1:31
Speaker 4: set up here. And right now I'm just trying to
1:34
Speaker 4: get the information out to as many people as I can.
1:37
Speaker 4: It's amazing because I have flown over the area, Phil.
1:41
Speaker 1: Let me give people some information. You're a pilot, right?
1:44
Speaker 4: I do fly as a pilot. And I have worked
1:47
Speaker 4: as a fire maintenance specialist.
1:49
Speaker 1: A fire maintenance specialist?
1:51
Speaker 4: That's correct.
1:52
Speaker 1: So you.
1:53
Speaker 3: can take a look at how people are fighting a fire,
1:56
Speaker 3: you know whether they're doing it well?
1:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, you generally review the area and find out if
2:01
Speaker 4: they're fighting the fire good or not. I have flown
2:04
Speaker 4: over the area, and there isn't much security. There isn't
2:08
Speaker 4: as much security surrounding the Los Alamos lab, Phil, and
2:11
Speaker 4: really that's what we're talking about. Los Alamos has the
2:14
Speaker 4: largest munitions and testing facility in the world, and the
2:19
Speaker 4: threat of terrorism in the area... And in this modern age,
2:24
Speaker 4: it's very real. I would assume that they have looked
2:27
Speaker 4: into the cause of this fire, and it's possible that
2:33
Speaker 4: you need to look at that. There's a lot of things.
2:36
Speaker 1: What are you saying? I thought the fire was started by.
2:39
Speaker 4: Well, they're saying that right now, Phil, but you need
2:41
Speaker 4: to understand that Los Alamos... And if you hold on
2:44
Speaker 4: for a minute, Phil.
2:44
Speaker 1: I'm sorry?
2:45
Speaker 5: Hold on for just a minute.
2:50
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm talking with a variety of people in the
2:52
Speaker 4: area who are giving me input.
2:57
Speaker 3: You're talking to me about the Los Alamos lab. Everybody's
3:00
Speaker 3: familiar with Los Alamos. The fact that nuclear munitions testing
3:04
Speaker 3: is done there. The Alamogordo blast originated it. The scientists
3:08
Speaker 3: were at Los Alamos. So we know that.
3:11
Speaker 1: But The fire was supposedly started by the Forestry Service.
3:14
Speaker 4: And I don't doubt that. I'm saying that right now
3:17
Speaker 4: the Los Alamos Munitions Lab is compromised. And there are
3:21
Speaker 4: a lot of, I think, a lot of questions surrounding
3:24
Speaker 4: how well they're going to protect this area. And was
3:28
Speaker 4: this fire an accident, or was this something that is
3:33
Speaker 4: a little bit more than an accident? I think we
3:34
Speaker 4: have to look into that. All right.
3:36
Speaker 3: Art Griego is there in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where
3:39
Speaker 3: there is fire right now raging. Can you give us
3:43
Speaker 3: the extent of the damage right now, Art?
3:47
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Phil?
3:47
Speaker 1: Can you give us the extent?
3:48
Speaker 4: I'm monitoring two radios right now, and I also have
3:52
Speaker 4: a phone call into Bob Shefferton. You know Bob.
3:56
Speaker 1: Yes, I do.
3:57
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm having to wait for my phone. My
3:59
Speaker 4: cell phone's going, too. There's a lot of stuff going
4:01
Speaker 4: on here. All right.
4:03
Speaker 1: Give me the extent of the damage there.
4:05
Speaker 4: Well, right now, Phil, we've had probably... Could you.
4:11
Speaker 1: Turn your radio down, too?
4:13
Speaker 6: Turn the radio down?
4:16
Speaker 4: Yeah. 7,000 homes. Population about 7,000. 15,000, Phil.
4:22
Speaker 1: 15,000 what?
4:24
Speaker 4: That's what we're saying right now, but I don't have
4:27
Speaker 4: an idea as to when we're going to be over there.
4:30
Speaker 1: Art, are you talking to me or.
4:31
Speaker 7: Hold on.
4:35
Speaker 4: I'm awfully sorry, Phil. We've got a lot of stuff
4:41
Speaker 4: going on. 18,000 people have been evacuated, 4,500 acres have burned,
4:46
Speaker 4: and we've got 100 homes right now that have burned.
4:50
Speaker 1: What do you suspect here? Spit it out. You're saying.
4:53
Speaker 4: I am telling you, Phil, that I suspect it's possible
4:58
Speaker 4: that terrorists would want to go after the Los Alamos lab.
5:01
Speaker 4: And I'm doing everything that I can, and I know
5:03
Speaker 4: that you know Bob Shepard and along with, of course,
5:07
Speaker 4: Lindy Nelson and all the other guys over there who
5:09
Speaker 4: worked with me at the lab. We're all doing the
5:12
Speaker 4: best we can to try to protect our country.
5:15
Speaker 3: What makes you suspicious that this might not have been
5:18
Speaker 3: started by the Forest Reserve?
5:19
Speaker 1: Are they fighting the fire?
5:21
Speaker 4: I don't know. Standard practice calls. Right now, Phil, I'm
5:24
Speaker 4: seeing a lot of choppers. I flew over the area.
5:27
Speaker 4: I see a lot of choppers dropping what they tell
5:30
Speaker 4: me is water. Now, I happen to know that you
5:34
Speaker 4: fight forest fires from fixed-wing airplanes, dropping water from a
5:40
Speaker 4: fixed-wing airplane, not helicopters. And I'm seeing a lot of helicopters.
5:46
Speaker 4: You would expect to see more firefighting equipment with Dalmatians
5:52
Speaker 4: sitting up near where the guy drives it. Water puts
5:56
Speaker 4: fire out, Phil, and if the choppers are dropping water,
6:01
Speaker 4: and also the helicopters, of course, but if the choppers are,
6:04
Speaker 4: why is the fire still going? Okay.
6:07
Speaker 1: Say that again.
6:08
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, water puts out fires, right? Yes. All right.
6:12
Speaker 4: If these choppers have been dropping water, why is the
6:15
Speaker 4: fire still going? That's number one. Number two, fixed-wing aircraft.
6:20
Speaker 4: I don't see them. Number three. I don't see any
6:23
Speaker 4: fire trucks with Dalmatians generally at a fire, and certainly
6:28
Speaker 4: when you're talking about a fire that threatens the number
6:31
Speaker 4: one munitions lab and testing facility in the world, you
6:34
Speaker 4: would expect to see at least one fire truck with
6:37
Speaker 4: a Dalmatian and a guy in a yellow hat. None
6:40
Speaker 4: of that is happening right now. And hold on for
6:43
Speaker 4: a minute, Phil.
6:45
Speaker 3: Okay, we're talking with Art Griego. He's at Los Alamos
6:48
Speaker 3: just outside of the city at a communications facility that
6:51
Speaker 3: is set up for him there. Our number is 1-800-449-8686.
6:56
Speaker 3: As he's talking and speculating with us here, and you
6:58
Speaker 3: can hear what he is up against there in the
7:00
Speaker 3: communications lab. The fact that this fire is around a very.
7:07
Speaker 1: Many of you may not be aware.
7:08
Speaker 3: Of the fact that this Los Alamos fire is around
7:10
Speaker 3: a highly sensitive area, the Los Alamos testing facilities.
7:15
Speaker 1: And munitions labs.
7:17
Speaker 3: During World War II, this was the primary site where
7:21
Speaker 3: American scientists worked to develop the atomic bomb. And ever
7:25
Speaker 3: since then, it has been a highly secured area and
7:28
Speaker 3: certainly one that is pivotal to the defense of our country.
7:31
Speaker 3: Now we have a fire raging, and Art, you do suspect,
7:35
Speaker 3: you're saying not that there is terrorism, you're suspecting what?
7:39
Speaker 4: I'm suspecting, Phil, that terrorists could take advantage of this,
7:42
Speaker 4: and could certainly, and why don't I see, you'd expect
7:47
Speaker 4: to see, and the fire's been going on for a week.
7:50
Speaker 4: That's the other thing.
7:51
Speaker 1: What about that?
7:54
Speaker 4: You generally are going to be able to put a
7:55
Speaker 4: fire out. It won't take you a week to put
7:58
Speaker 4: a fire on. You generally see firefighters, Phil, wearing yellow
8:02
Speaker 4: hats and carrying axes. I don't see that. If you
8:05
Speaker 4: recall the film Backdraft with Robert De Niro, he wore
8:09
Speaker 4: a yellow hat. Also, very close we are to Roswell,
8:13
Speaker 4: New Mexico. And I don't need to tell you what
8:16
Speaker 4: that represents.
8:17
Speaker 3: Now, Roswell is the area where aliens were supposedly discovered.
8:21
Speaker 1: Are you suspecting some national security situation?
8:24
Speaker 4: I can tell you that... In my experience, you don't
8:28
Speaker 4: have this many coincidences. You've got the Los Alamos Munitions
8:33
Speaker 4: Lab being threatened. You have the Roswell, New Mexico tie-in.
8:38
Speaker 4: There are no Dalmatians on the fire trucks. And I'm
8:43
Speaker 4: not getting any information. I can't get any information from anybody.
8:48
Speaker 4: And it's starting to really tighten my jaws. And it
8:51
Speaker 4: makes me wonder.
8:52
Speaker 1: Who have you contacted?
8:53
Speaker 4: I contacted Bob Shepperton. You know Bob. He usually tells
8:57
Speaker 4: me everything. He won't tell me a thing. I've talked
9:00
Speaker 4: to Betty Ambers. I've talked to the guys over at
9:03
Speaker 4: the Volunteer Fire District. All of them are very tight-lipped
9:06
Speaker 4: about this. And, again, the other thing, Phil, is I
9:11
Speaker 4: worry about civilian property. Hello, we've got the Los Alamos lab.
9:17
Speaker 1: Well, they have evacuated the people.
9:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've evacuated people. But why? I even called Art Bell,
9:25
Speaker 4: and I found out his show's off the air. What's
9:27
Speaker 4: that all about? So you've got a lot of... Right now,
9:31
Speaker 4: Art probably.
9:31
Speaker 3: Doesn't want to be bothered with that. Let me go
9:32
Speaker 3: to a phone call. Gainesville, Florida, you're on the Phil
9:35
Speaker 3: Henry Show.
9:35
Speaker 4: Hello. Hi. Yes, ma'am.
9:38
Speaker 8: I was just calling in reference to the gentleman on.
9:40
Speaker 5: The line who's out at Los Alamos.
9:43
Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am.
9:43
Speaker 8: And his fear was that... One, they may not really
9:47
Speaker 8: be attempting to put the fire out because they're dropping
9:50
Speaker 8: what appears, as he says, water from helicopters, and that
9:53
Speaker 8: isn't what he thinks they should be doing.
9:55
Speaker 4: I live in Florida.
9:57
Speaker 8: We have really, really bad forest fires out here.
9:59
Speaker 4: But you use water to put fires out, and if
10:02
Speaker 4: they're using water, why isn't the fire out?
10:04
Speaker 8: Because it does not go out that quickly, sir. It
10:07
Speaker 8: took weeks and weeks for them to get the fire out.
10:09
Speaker 8: Here with fire, if you've ever had fire in a
10:12
Speaker 8: fire pit in your backyard, it can take hours and
10:15
Speaker 8: hours and sometimes days to get that fire out using
10:18
Speaker 8: tons and tons of water.
10:19
Speaker 4: Let me ask the lady a question.
10:20
Speaker 8: It is not an easily solved solution.
10:22
Speaker 4: Why have they evacuated the city? They evacuated... These are
10:27
Speaker 4: people that can help put the fire out. They can
10:29
Speaker 4: help put the fire out.
10:30
Speaker 8: No, they can't.
10:31
Speaker 4: Well, ma'am, in frontier times... They can't be worried about
10:34
Speaker 4: the people.
10:34
Speaker 8: They have to be worried about the fire. In Florida,
10:36
Speaker 8: they evacuated the entire county of Flagler County.
10:39
Speaker 4: I can tell you that they used to have a
10:41
Speaker 4: thing called a bucket brigade, Phil. You can get people
10:44
Speaker 4: down on the fire line. A 4-year-old child can carry
10:46
Speaker 4: a bucket. A 10-year-old can carry a hose.
10:49
Speaker 8: Maybe in the 1930s that's what they did, but they
10:50
Speaker 8: don't do that now.
10:51
Speaker 4: I'm worried about it in the Dalmatian question.
10:54
Speaker 1: And the Dalmatian question?
10:55
Speaker 4: Yes.
10:55
Speaker 1: All right, ma'am, thank you for your call. 1-800-4... Would
10:58
Speaker 1: you turn him off? It's really.
11:00
Speaker 4: Phil, why don't you say something?
11:03
Speaker 1: Thank you. I mean, that is wild.
11:05
Speaker 3: We have on the line with us from Los Alamos
11:07
Speaker 3: Art Griego, who is at a communications site. He thinks
11:11
Speaker 3: this fire near the Los Alamos testing lab is suspicious.
11:14
Speaker 3: He feels that it is a highly secure area, obviously.
11:17
Speaker 3: What's there a fire doing around Los Alamos? Why is
11:19
Speaker 3: it so close to Roswell, New Mexico? And if indeed
11:22
Speaker 3: they're trying to put the fire out, why are they
11:23
Speaker 3: using helicopters instead of fixed-wing aircraft? And if water puts
11:27
Speaker 3: out fire and they're dumping water on the fire, why
11:30
Speaker 3: isn't the fire going out? He has also reported to us,
11:33
Speaker 3: and I know, Mike, you were with him earlier, there
11:35
Speaker 3: are no fire trucks with any Dalmatians and nobody wearing
11:39
Speaker 3: yellow hats.
11:40
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking with him further.
11:41
Speaker 4: 1-800-449-8686.
11:42
Speaker 1: The Phil Hendry Show.
11:50
Speaker 7: 1-800-449-8686.
11:50
Speaker 3: Phil Henry's show at a communications site in New Mexico
11:55
Speaker 3: is Art Griego. He is a pilot as well as
11:59
Speaker 3: a fire maintenance specialist talking about the Los Alamos fire.
12:02
Speaker 3: So your suspicion right now is, A, that the fire
12:06
Speaker 3: could have been started by terrorists.
12:08
Speaker 1: Also, they've evacuated the town too quickly, right?
12:10
Speaker 4: I believe so, Phil, because these are 18,000 people that
12:14
Speaker 4: you evacuated, and they could be putting the fire out
12:17
Speaker 4: right now. I am staying here in the Erasmo, New Mexico.
12:22
Speaker 4: In 1948, it is possible that some craft from another
12:27
Speaker 4: world landed here. Why now? Why a fire now? These
12:31
Speaker 4: are questions that no one can answer for me. I'm
12:34
Speaker 4: sure we all remember the bucket brigades from the 19th
12:37
Speaker 4: century where the people would gather and put fires out.
12:41
Speaker 4: And that has been something that has been going on.
12:45
Speaker 4: How come nobody's doing that right now?
12:47
Speaker 1: Nobody passing buckets?
12:48
Speaker 4: No one. No one passing buckets or wearing overalls.
12:52
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Lake Elsinore on the Phil
12:54
Speaker 1: Henry Show.
12:54
Speaker 9: Hello.
12:55
Speaker 4: Hello.
12:56
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is Mike. I'm in Elsinore. You know, you've
12:59
Speaker 7: got to put this guy on a bucket. Send him
13:01
Speaker 7: right out there with the bucket right now.
13:05
Speaker 4: Oh, what? I don't understand.
13:09
Speaker 7: If you want a bucket brigade, why don't you take
13:10
Speaker 7: a bucket right out there? Those firemen are fighting their
13:13
Speaker 7: butts off right now.
13:14
Speaker 4: Look it. Why is the fire not out? And what
13:17
Speaker 4: about the questions that I've asked about this?
13:20
Speaker 7: Fixed-wing aircraft?
13:21
Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm in Southern California. I watch these.
13:24
Speaker 7: Forest fires all the time, and I see them put
13:26
Speaker 7: out with helicopters all the time. They carry buckets off
13:30
Speaker 7: their rigging.
13:31
Speaker 4: They drop into a lake. Have you been near a fire? Yes,
13:35
Speaker 4: I have. Okay, where? In Santa Barbara.
13:38
Speaker 7: You remember Wonderland, Michael Jackson's.
13:40
Speaker 4: Resort, when it was about to burn down? I was there.
13:42
Speaker 4: I'm talking about a forest fire, not some guy's cabana.
13:46
Speaker 5: No, this was a forest on a hill.
13:47
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about a guy's pool house, all right?
13:49
Speaker 7: No, this was a forest.
13:51
Speaker 4: Well, what is it you're saying? All I'm trying to
13:53
Speaker 4: do is tell you that I don't see any firefighting equipment.
13:59
Speaker 4: And I'm talking about Dalmatians and stuff like that. You're blind.
14:03
Speaker 4: What about Dalmatians? You're blind. No Dalmatians?
14:07
Speaker 7: That's a Budweiser commercial, buddy.
14:09
Speaker 4: All right, pal. Another guy that doesn't know anything about
14:12
Speaker 4: fighting fires, Phil.
14:13
Speaker 1: All right, this Dalmatian thing's important, huh?
14:15
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
14:17
Speaker 1: All right, 1-800-449-8686. Hollywood, Florida, on the Phil Henry Show.
14:21
Speaker 9: Hello.
14:22
Speaker 4: Phil, am I on?
14:24
Speaker 9: Hello.
14:24
Speaker 1: You're on the air, yes.
14:25
Speaker 9: I'm on the air?
14:26
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
14:27
Speaker 10: Okay, I'm talking to this gentleman who talks about a
14:29
Speaker 10: Dalmatian being on a truck.
14:30
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
14:31
Speaker 10: Down in Hollywood, Florida, we have Doberman Pincers and Rottweilers.
14:35
Speaker 10: These people steal fire equipment while the guys are fighting
14:38
Speaker 10: a fire. So a Dalmatian is inconsequential about fighting a fire. Secondly,
14:43
Speaker 10: they wear red helmets. So what's with the yellow helmet?
14:46
Speaker 4: What about the Dalmatians?
14:48
Speaker 10: What about the Dalmatians?
14:50
Speaker 4: They make a great movie for kids. They're not on
14:52
Speaker 4: any firefighting equipment that I'm looking at. Where? Right here
14:56
Speaker 4: in Los Alamos.
14:57
Speaker 10: In Los Alamos?
14:58
Speaker 4: Yes.
14:59
Speaker 10: Well, you know, when I was a kid and we
15:00
Speaker 10: had fires.
15:01
Speaker 1: Viejo on the Phil Henry Show.
15:02
Speaker 2: Hello?
15:03
Speaker 4: Who is this idiot? Listen, lady, I don't see it.
15:06
Speaker 4: They're in the buckets, too, Phil. Out there.
15:09
Speaker 1: You're on the air, ma'am. Go ahead. Yes.
15:11
Speaker 8: Huh.
15:11
Speaker 4: You know, this guy is sitting there giving.
15:13
Speaker 5: Commentary on a fire.

Speaker 5: Well, I volunteer for sick people like you.
15:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I can tell you that most of what
15:33
Speaker 4: I'm doing right now is trying to keep you in
15:35
Speaker 4: touch with the situation. It doesn't do any good.
15:38
Speaker 9: You're there.
15:39
Speaker 8: You're doing nothing but getting on the.
15:41
Speaker 4: I'm telling you that we've got the national... when the
15:44
Speaker 4: national security's threatened.
15:47
Speaker 5: Well, maybe you ought to call the White House.
15:49
Speaker 4: Lady, they don't want to take my phone call, okay?
15:52
Speaker 4: I don't blame them. All I'm saying... What do you
15:54
Speaker 4: know about fighting fires?
15:55
Speaker 5: I was a fireman.
15:57
Speaker 4: What do you know about fighting fires?
15:59
Speaker 5: I was a fireman.
16:02
Speaker 4: You were a fireman?
16:03
Speaker 9: A firewoman.
16:04
Speaker 4: Where was that?
16:06
Speaker 5: In Los Angeles County.
16:08
Speaker 4: You worked for L.A. County?
16:09
Speaker 5: I did. All right.
16:12
Speaker 4: What did you do? I fought fires.
16:14
Speaker 5: What do you think I did?
16:15
Speaker 4: They didn't hire any women.
16:17
Speaker 5: You know what?
16:19
Speaker 4: They didn't hire women at that time. And you're the authority, right? Yes,
16:23
Speaker 4: I am. They were not hiring any women. Okay, so
16:28
Speaker 4: I don't know what to tell you, baby. I'm here,
16:30
Speaker 4: you're there. Go take a swim in the ocean. Roger.
16:35
Speaker 5: I got a.
16:37
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks for your call, ma'am.
16:39
Speaker 10: 1-800-449-8686.
16:39
Speaker 4: Fort Myers on the Phil Henry Show. Hello?
16:48
Speaker 1: Fort Myers, hello.
16:50
Speaker 4: Hi, how you doing?
16:51
Speaker 5: Listen, my question is, if this guy that's out there
16:54
Speaker 5: in Los Alamos isn't an alien himself, I mean.
16:57
Speaker 4: I'm talking about trying to get the firefighting out here.
16:59
Speaker 5: Brush fires all the time, and fighting one for a week,
17:02
Speaker 5: two weeks, or three weeks isn't unusual.
17:05
Speaker 4: Why can't they get the fire out?
17:08
Speaker 5: That's not unusual.
17:09
Speaker 4: For a forest fire. It's not like a... go out
17:11
Speaker 4: there with a couple of fire trucks and put it out.
17:14
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about a.
17:15
Speaker 6: Very complicated issue.
17:16
Speaker 4: Have you seen fire axes? You know what I mean
17:18
Speaker 4: by a red hat? I live in an area where
17:21
Speaker 4: we have brush fires. We have serious brush fires out here.
17:26
Speaker 4: But you don't live in an area where there's a
17:28
Speaker 4: munitions lab, and you don't live in an area where
17:30
Speaker 4: there is a large testing facility.
17:33
Speaker 6: Well, that's a definite cause for concern, but, you know,
17:37
Speaker 6: firemen don't look like the firemen do on TV and Dalmatians.
17:41
Speaker 6: I've never seen a Dalmatian on any fire equipment down here.
17:44
Speaker 4: Well, I have.
17:44
Speaker 6: That's kind of shaky stuff there.
17:46
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I've seen them. Okay? And what
17:49
Speaker 4: you're talking about is the need for firefighting equipment that
17:52
Speaker 4: people can use right now. No bucket brigade. No.
17:57
Speaker 5: That's not the way they fight fires these days. You
18:00
Speaker 5: don't take the civilians out there.
18:02
Speaker 4: And put their lives on the line.
18:04
Speaker 3: We need to get a hand pump and a well.
18:07
Speaker 1: 1-800-449-8686. Phil Henry Show.

Speaker 4: Hello?
18:16
Speaker 10: Hi.
18:17
Speaker 1: Yes, ma'am.
18:18
Speaker 9: You know, Ted, I'm very curious, what restaurant is.
18:20
Speaker 4: It that you own? Ted's in Beverly Hills.
18:22
Speaker 5: Ted's in Beverly Hills, right.
18:24
Speaker 7: Right.
18:24
Speaker 9: And what makes you the authority on telling people how
18:27
Speaker 9: to behave? and how to act rich when you, you know,
18:32
Speaker 9: just came into new money.
18:33
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you people who buy your lottery tickets, okay?
18:37
Speaker 5: Don't refer to.
18:38
Speaker 4: Me as you people. Well.
18:39
Speaker 5: Okay, I have money. You don't need to talk to me.
18:41
Speaker 4: You got money because you hit the pick six, right?
18:43
Speaker 5: No, I have money because my family.
18:46
Speaker 9: I'm 21. You're right. I have none of my own money.
18:48
Speaker 4: I have money because my parents worked their butts off, Ted.
18:51
Speaker 4: When did your dad hit.
18:52
Speaker 6: Because they came.
18:53
Speaker 9: From, yeah, the Midwest.
18:54
Speaker 4: When did your father hit Powerball? I'm sorry? When did
18:57
Speaker 4: your dad whip at Powerball? What year?
19:00
Speaker 9: What is Power Bowl?
19:01
Speaker 4: It's the lottery that your father entered in Nebraska.
19:03
Speaker 9: See, my dad never won the lottery. He came from nothing,
19:06
Speaker 9: and I have everything now.
19:08
Speaker 4: You have everything.
19:09
Speaker 9: Yeah, I go to USC. I drive a BMW. I'm
19:12
Speaker 9: the luckiest girl.
19:13
Speaker 8: I have everything I.
19:14
Speaker 4: Could ever want. Then you and I understand each other.
19:16
Speaker 4: Then you and I understand each other. No, no, don't.
19:18
Speaker 4: You can't be a traitor.
19:18
Speaker 9: Please don't put it on the same level, Ted. Like,
19:20
Speaker 9: I really honestly feel I have a lot more maturity
19:23
Speaker 9: and a lot more to offer than the... Don't you realize.
19:28
Speaker 4: That you and I come from the same kind of money,
19:30
Speaker 4: and these people are trying to usurp our position. They're
19:32
Speaker 4: acting like fools in expensive restaurants. We can't have that.
19:36
Speaker 4: You know what?
19:37
Speaker 9: At first, I'll have to tell you, and I'll be
19:38
Speaker 9: real honest with you. It was a problem for me
19:40
Speaker 9: because I was like, ew, they haven't had money their
19:42
Speaker 9: whole lives.
19:43
Speaker 4: That's it. There you go.
19:44
Speaker 9: How dare they walk in this restaurant and act like
19:46
Speaker 9: an ass?
19:46
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
19:47
Speaker 5: But then Ted, but then it's.
19:48
Speaker 9: People like you who have money, who get on the
19:50
Speaker 9: air and who say things like this, make us look
19:53
Speaker 9: just as bad.
19:54
Speaker 4: That is totally off. You know what? I think what
19:56
Speaker 4: you're saying is totally off.
19:57
Speaker 9: You're embarrassed. You're embarrassed by these people who have new money, Ted,
20:00
Speaker 9: and if they're not good enough, it's the people.
20:02
Speaker 4: You said the magic word there. When you said you
20:04
Speaker 4: walked into a restaurant and you saw some of these
20:06
Speaker 4: people come into the restaurant who were new money and
20:08
Speaker 4: you went, ew. Ted, you know what? That is the
20:11
Speaker 4: rallying cry of every rich man or woman in Beverly Hills.
20:13
Speaker 4: That's our rallying cry. Ew. Ted, I go out in
20:16
Speaker 4: Beverly Hills.
20:17
Speaker 9: And I go out with the best of the best
20:18
Speaker 9: as well, and I have a lot of friends in
20:20
Speaker 9: that circle of friends.
20:21
Speaker 4: Do you know some of the people that I know?
20:23
Speaker 5: But, Ted, let me tell you something.
20:24
Speaker 4: Do you know the people I know?
20:25
Speaker 9: I don't know who you know, Ted.
20:27
Speaker 4: Do you really want to play the name game?
20:28
Speaker 9: Because that's not what your argument's about.
20:30
Speaker 4: Do you want to know who I know? I don't, Ted. Honestly,
20:32
Speaker 4: it's not.
20:33
Speaker 5: Important to me.
20:34
Speaker 9: But what I'm saying is.
20:34
Speaker 4: I know people.
20:35
Speaker 9: Ted, that's great.
20:37
Speaker 5: I do too, but that's not important.
20:39
Speaker 9: It's who you are and not who everybody else that
20:41
Speaker 9: you know is.
20:41
Speaker 4: All right, I'm going to take a roll of the
20:42
Speaker 4: dice here. I'm going to roll the dice. I'm going
20:44
Speaker 4: to take a chance. All right? You ready? Sure, Ted.
20:47
Speaker 4: Do you want to meet for a drink?
20:50
Speaker 9: I would love to meet you for a drink, Ted.
20:52
Speaker 4: You would, wouldn't you?
20:54
Speaker 9: I would love to meet you for a drink.
20:56
Speaker 4: I'd like you to come to.
20:57
Speaker 5: Just to see what a jackass you are.
20:58
Speaker 4: Ted, I honestly am so embarrassed for you. She's interested
21:00
Speaker 4: in me. She's interested in me.
21:02
Speaker 5: Ted, I'm embarrassed for you.
21:03
Speaker 4: Why are you interested?
21:04
Speaker 9: Ted, you know why this conversation interests me? And I
21:07
Speaker 9: have to tell you, I just started listening to KFI
21:09
Speaker 9: like two months ago.
21:10
Speaker 4: Right.
21:10
Speaker 9: And this has really intrigued me because you have repeatedly said,
21:15
Speaker 9: you know, people like me and those people, those new
21:19
Speaker 9: money people. Well, Ted, when did you come into money, Ted?
21:22
Speaker 4: Let me tell you when I came into money. Back
21:24
Speaker 4: when I was 17, my father, he put a cashier's
21:28
Speaker 4: check in my account for $ 20 million, and he said,
21:30
Speaker 4: I want you to do something with that. I'm worth
21:32
Speaker 4: $ 25 million today.
21:34
Speaker 9: Ted, we'll pin a rose on your nose.
21:37
Speaker 1: Oh, so you made a big.
21:38
Speaker 3: Your father gave you $ 20.
21:40
Speaker 1: Million, right?
21:41
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:42
Speaker 3: And now, 30 years later, you're worth $ 25 million.
21:46
Speaker 4: Ted, my dad wouldn't.
21:47
Speaker 9: Give it to me, Ted. He would show me what
21:49
Speaker 9: the meaning of earning a dollar is.
21:50
Speaker 4: I'd like you to come to Ted's of Beverly Hills.
21:53
Speaker 4: I'd like you to come to Ted's of Beverly Hills.
21:56
Speaker 4: I'll buy you a drink. We'll have a steak. Now,
21:59
Speaker 4: I've got to tell you something, and because I'm wealthy,
22:01
Speaker 4: I do require this of women that go out with me,
22:03
Speaker 4: all right? You must have sex with me tonight, but
22:07
Speaker 4: I want you to understand something. I mean that in
22:09
Speaker 4: the most respectful way.
22:11
Speaker 9: Ted, I don't understand how anything out of your mouth
22:15
Speaker 9: has been respectful at all. And some women who have called.
22:18
Speaker 4: In haven't really.
22:20
Speaker 9: Been attacking you, but you've turned it into this argument.
22:23
Speaker 4: No, that lady told me that she wished I died
22:24
Speaker 4: in my electric bike.
22:25
Speaker 5: How old are you, Ted?
22:26
Speaker 4: How old are you? I'm 50 years old. Hold on.
22:28
Speaker 4: Before you start saying, oh, it's too old for me,
22:30
Speaker 4: I bring lumber. I didn't say I was too old
22:32
Speaker 4: for me, Ted. I bring the lumber.
22:33
Speaker 9: Are you in the same caliber as I am, Ted?
22:34
Speaker 9: Can you keep up with me?
22:35
Speaker 4: I'm Ted Bell.
22:36
Speaker 9: You know, because everything's handed to me on a silver platter.
22:39
Speaker 4: I'm Ted Bell.
22:40
Speaker 9: You're Ted Bell?
22:41
Speaker 4: Yeah.
22:41
Speaker 9: I've never heard of you.
22:43
Speaker 4: Bring some of your girlfriends. You know, I don't think
22:45
Speaker 4: my girlfriends would be real impressed either. Well, I've got
22:48
Speaker 4: to tell you something, okay? If you're not impressed by
22:49
Speaker 4: $ 25 million, I don't know what's going to impress you, okay?
22:52
Speaker 10: You know what?
22:53
Speaker 9: Ted, that doesn't compare to some of the people that
22:55
Speaker 9: I go to school with. I mean, you don't get it.
22:58
Speaker 9: It's like.
22:59
Speaker 1: Let me jump in here. You know what? I'm sorry.
23:01
Speaker 5: We're getting off the subject here.
23:02
Speaker 1: I need to jump in. This is Phil Henry.
23:04
Speaker 3: The last woman from Indianapolis, you said you wanted to
23:06
Speaker 3: go to her house and hike her skirt over her hips.
23:08
Speaker 3: Now you're saying this girl's got to have sex with you.
23:11
Speaker 9: Yeah, like, what is this?
23:12
Speaker 4: It's a quarter to six. I've got to line something up, okay?
23:15
Speaker 6: Ted.
23:16
Speaker 4: It's a quarter to six.
23:17
Speaker 9: This is absolutely ridiculous.
23:18
Speaker 1: You are out of line, Ted, okay?
23:20
Speaker 4: Ted, you know, honestly... It is natural for a rich
23:22
Speaker 4: man to want to bet a 21-year-old college co-ed. Now,
23:26
Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with that. It's totally normal. And, you know,
23:30
Speaker 4: I think you're missing a great shot here. But, okay,
23:32
Speaker 4: if you say no, you say no.
23:33
Speaker 5: Okay, hey, hey, Ted.
23:35
Speaker 4: You want to go for it?
23:36
Speaker 9: I really apologize. I think we've gotten off the track of.
23:39
Speaker 4: Your— Are you in a story?
23:40
Speaker 5: I'm going to have a lotto.
23:40
Speaker 9: Show and teach everyone how to spend their money.
23:42
Speaker 4: Are you in a story?
23:43
Speaker 9: You know, get over the embarrassment, Ted. If you own
23:45
Speaker 9: a restaurant and they embarrass you when they come into
23:47
Speaker 9: your restaurant, you say, I'm sorry. I have the right
23:49
Speaker 9: to refuse service. be mature, be adult about it, and
23:52
Speaker 9: get on with your life.
23:53
Speaker 4: All right, I want to ask a question. Don't go
23:54
Speaker 4: home and sulk about this new money person who just
23:56
Speaker 4: won the lotto and came in and doesn't know how
23:58
Speaker 4: to use their money. That's true, but I've got to
24:00
Speaker 4: ask Phil Hendry a question. What? You told me that
24:04
Speaker 4: if I got a radio show that I'd get more
24:07
Speaker 4: ass than a rental car, and now all of a
24:08
Speaker 4: sudden that.
24:10
Speaker 1: I did not tell you that.
24:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, who the hell told you that?
24:12
Speaker 1: I never said, I never told you.
24:13
Speaker 9: I listen to Phil and he doesn't say that.
24:14
Speaker 4: Bull crap, because I heard Phil Hendry told me that,
24:17
Speaker 4: and now I've got a radio show. Did you hear that?
24:20
Speaker 4: And I have $ 25 million, and I asked you to
24:21
Speaker 4: go to bed with me, and you said no? How
24:23
Speaker 4: dare you? I'm Ted Bell.
24:25
Speaker 1: Ted, you've got a lot to learn. Oh, by the way.
24:27
Speaker 4: Ted, guess what?
24:28
Speaker 9: That's like me telling you how dare you don't want
24:31
Speaker 9: to go to bed with me. I'm a 21-year-old.
24:33
Speaker 1: By the way, Ted, you're married.
24:34
Speaker 4: I'm what? You're married. And I have everything, and I
24:36
Speaker 4: don't need your.
24:37
Speaker 9: Money, Ted.
24:38
Speaker 5: I have my own.
24:39
Speaker 4: He hung up.
