It's KFI Am sixty and you're listeningto the Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. I will tell youthe joke I got fired for at KBC.
I'll try to clean up little becausedon't want to get fired again for
it. But KBC hired me afterkalis X fired me, and then after
this joke, KBC fired me,and I thought, wow, I've been
(00:24):
fired from two out of the threetalk stations in LA. I better straighten
up if I have any hopes ofgetting a job here at kfive. So
I went on one night and here'sthe joke. I told. There's a
traveling salesman walking around Los Angeles andhe's he's selling stereos, stereoparts and stereos,
(00:49):
and he also sells, you know, flower seeds and stuff. He's
got all kinds of crap going on. So he knocks on this door and
an eight year old kid answers,an eight year old boy answers, and
he opens the door and the eightyear old boy is standing there in his
mom's underwear, smoking a cigar witha martini in one hand. He's eight
(01:12):
years old. He's in his mom'sunderwear smoking a cigar with a martini in
his hand, and he's covered inky jelly. And the traveling salesman said,
are your parents home? And thekid said, what the F do
you think? That's a great job? That got me fired? KB Aniston
(01:37):
surprised that that gut you fired.I was expecting something much more. I
think that I listeners and an advertiserpiled one, and I think that was
a wrap. I see, soit was you were close to the end
already. But I do remember leavingKBC and I was on the four or
five freeway. I remember exactly whereI was, and I called KFI out
(02:00):
of the blue, and I didn'teven know who the program director was.
I mean, that's how you knowinsulated. I was over at Klea Sex
and I said, hey, canI speak to the program director? And
somebody got on the phone and thenand he said hold on on second.
Robin got on the phone and Isaid, oh, I said, you're
the program right, yeah, I'mthe program director for kfive. I said,
(02:22):
hey, I do the Conway andSteckler. She goes, I know
who you are. And I said, hey, do you have anything open
there? Maybe weekends, fill ins, whatever, And she goes. I
really don't, but I will keepyou in mind, you know, in
case anything pops up. And Iremember hanging the phone up driving the four
or five, really depressed because I'dblown my chance at KBC because I told
(02:44):
a stupid joke. And then I'mdriving home, I'm thinking, how am
I gonna make any money? Igot a kid who's three years old,
I've got my wife's not working rightnow, and I was like panicking.
And then a week later, RobinBerdlucci called and said, hey, do
you want to do a fill inon a weekend? And I filled in
on a weekend I don't know.I f like eight to twelve, like
(03:07):
eightpm to midnight, and then didn'thear anything for a couple of days.
Then did another weekend, and thengot a weekend slot on KFI. And
the very first weekend I worked hereat KFI, Steve Gregory, who I'd
never met my life, was outdoing a live remote of this gay porno
actor who killed somebody with a Samuraisword. I remember that story, and
(03:30):
he's being held up on the Yeah, there was a whole like Chatsworth,
right, Yeah, he was upin the mountains in Chatsworth where we used
to go hike when I was akid. I was familiar with the area.
And he came on and then hewas a reporting live from there.
I think Bellia was with him.Yes, Belly, you were with him
on this, I was, yes. And that story started when we went
on the air, and it finishedwith him jumping off the mountain and killing
(03:53):
himself right as we went off theair. And that was That was like
my very first day or second daythat I was on the air, and
I'm like, Wow, this isa wild station. The people out covering
stuff like that. That's crazy.And then my very first time I worked
here on KFI, Michael Kroser wasthe guy doing THEI that's not true,
(04:15):
very eerie, yes, sir,true story. And I said first and
last, And I said at onepoint, so I was new to the
station. I said, he We'vegot more news with Mike Krozer and uh,
and he came here, it's MichaelKrozer. I said, Okay,
sorry, and it's been Michael Krozersince. Glad we got it. Clear
(04:36):
it up on the fresh that's right. And then I remember making the mistake
and looking back on this, Ifeel like a complete idiot. But I'll
tell the story because it's it's true. But I said to Krozer when I
started, when I filled in forBrian Suits, Suits and Kennedy and they
left the station. I finally gotthat job doing seven to ten. I
(04:58):
said to Krozer, I said,Hey, are there a bunch of people
who work at the station or pissedthat I got this time slot? And
he goes, are you kidding me? And I and I thought there'd be
like one or two. He said, everybody's pissed. I said, oh,
okay, I got to warm upto people around. That's radio though,
Yeah, that's radio. But mydaughter was three when I started here,
(05:21):
and she graduates high school in twoweeks. She's eighteen years old.
Just the best man. And whenI started, your Krozier's daughter was I
think six something like that, dependingin the area, five or six.
How old was she in June oftwo thousand and nine, eight eight years
old? Seven? Seven? Okay, she was seven, And I remember
she used to come in and hangout with Kroser, sleeping on the couch
(05:44):
of the newsroom because, yeah,the Krozer had that awful schedule back then.
Yeah, she used to put asleeping bag down behind Krozer and sleep
like you know, behind him.Adorable kid. Yeah, she's spent a
couple of Christmases here. Yes,it is OK five And I always thought,
man, that's a hell of adad. I got a lot of
my tips from being a dad fromCrozier. That's true, buddy. He's
(06:04):
a good guy with a lot ofmade a lot of sacrifices unbelievable and that's
why you can make sacrifices working withbig talent like yourself. Do I understand
how children work? I understand howto wind shit? Right? All right?
Mark, please wet blanket. You'relistening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand
(06:28):
from KFI AM six forty. MarkThompson is here. He has his own
very popular show on YouTube, TheMark Thompson Show. Thanks almost thirty two
thousand subscribers. That's a lot,it is we it's just five million podcasts
out there, yeah, I knowworldwide they're five million. Mark just looked
that up during the one of ourbreaks. Five million podcasts and they say
(06:49):
there's seven hundred thousand active podcasts,and then what you call active I don't
know, but anyway, you pencilit out. There's a lot of stuff
to listen to, you know,what's great about And again, I'm in
talk radio, so I'm sort ofit's very self serving. But that being
said, I'm gonna tell the story. Anyway. I drove from Portland to
(07:12):
la by myself, and it wasnot football season, but it was a
Sunday morning at seven o'clock. Youknow, when you're driving cross country,
you don't sleep in. You neversleep in. You get up at six,
you have coffee, you get onthe road and you drive. That's
your job all day. You driveand sometimes ten hours and people are driving
right now. You're in a truckor you're in a car. You're driving
(07:35):
somewhere for eight, nine, tenhours. This story is for you.
But when I drove from Portland toLA I was tired of listening to my
CDs or my you know, ormusic or whatever. So I turned on
the radio. And I was ina place in California where I got no
FM signals. You know, thereare pack pockets in the central areas of
(07:55):
California where you don't pick up anykind of FM. It's all AM.
So I'm on AM radio and theonly three stations I could get are religious
stations, you know, and Sundaymorning they're all religious. So I said,
okay, this is better than nothing. I turned it on and I'm
listening to this guy talking about religionand how he was saved and and some
(08:18):
miracle that happened to him, andhe was taking callers, and about a
half hour into it, I'm like, now this guy's onto something. I
like this guy. You know that. I think that's how they get you
in into religion is if you justsit there uninterrupted and listen to and listen,
listen to what they're saying. Yeah, listen to the message. Yes.
(08:39):
Yeah. And so after he wasdone, a sports show came on
and it was a national sports showand I never heard of the guy before,
but I knew he was live becausehe was talking about games that were
in progress, and as I drove, I felt like he was a friend.
He had told a story about hischildhood, told a story about his
(09:00):
mom. He told a story abouthow his wife got sick and then she
got better, and I was investedin this guy's life. And the next
day, this is a Saturday.The next day I was driving Sunday he
came on again and I'm like,oh, I know this guy. Yeah,
And I think that's how you gethooked as well. I also think
that there is a quality of justlistening that is a connection. It's weird,
(09:22):
don't have you know, I againtook my radio show to YouTube,
and now I'm in YouTube where theycan you know, you can see the
person as well as here the person. And i'd suggest that if you're just
listening, you have a different relationshipwith the person than if you're watching and
listening. It's absolutely different. Itis. And I've you know, I
did television for ages, and I'vedone radio for a long time, and
(09:46):
the idea. I've done radio sinceI was you know, since I was
seventeen. And the reality is thatyou develop a relationship with the person on
the radio in a different way thanyou do those people on television. So
it's weird. Back to your I'mnot surprised that in a short time you
feel as though, well, that'smy buddy who I listened to yesterday and
I that was my sports buddy.Yeah. And by the way, this
(10:07):
is how this is how hooked intoI was listening to the sports guy.
He was talking about the RAMS andthe upcoming season, I called in.
I couldn't wait to talk to theguy. I love that. And then
when I was on the air withI'm like, hey, buddy, look,
I just hooked into your show.But I think you're great. I
think you're a funny guy. Ireally enjoyed the last two days I spent
(10:28):
with you. And I told himI've been driving from Portland to Burbank.
And he seemed to like genuinely carethat that I was telling him that I've
just hooked into him and I andI and I really enjoy a show.
That's cool. He didn't say,yeah, yeah, caller, thank you?
What is your customer question? Youhave been question? And I made
that's some stupid thing about the rams, you know, just to just to
(10:48):
get on to tell him that.I thought when people are called caller by
someone, I think that's a footdown. I don't think you should say
caller to somebody. I mean,you've got their name, you know it's
been you've got call screeners. Thename is Tim. You can just say
Tim. You know, if you'reagreeing with when you say call or don't
you agree with me on that?Yeah? I do. I think it
diminishes. I do. I do. I think you're right. Okay,
(11:09):
we have an update here. Itold you we're going to update you on
the Metro violence. There's been alot of violence on the Metro. Let's
find out what's going on with theviolent encounter between a man and security guards
at a Metro B Line station today. The man stabbed one of the guards,
had later died after he was shot. The latest and a string of
vicious attacks in I'd what a busyday on the Metro for these two.
(11:33):
Right, he was stabbed, astabber got stabbed a person and the stabber
got shot to death, had laterdied after he was shot. The latest
and a string of vicious attacks inand around the Metro trains, buses and
stations that at Passengers on Edge eyewitnessedA supporter, Tim Pullium, is live
in East Hollywood, where he spokewith some of them about their safety concerns.
Tim Hellen David the security guard isthis guy, Ti, Tim Pulliam's
(11:56):
the most underrated reporter in town.This guy sinks his teeth into these stories.
He really gets the He gets alot of information that a lot of
other people don't get. No,he's sort of like a Steve Gregory type
like that. We must have alot of connection. What's his name,
Tim Pulliam, He's great, EllenDavid. The security guard is in stable
conditioning hospital, which is just stepsaway from where he was stabbed by that
(12:18):
suspect. The suspect's body is nolonger here on the scene. People are
reacting to this latest Metro attacks.Just getting a little bit out of control
and you don't feel safe. It'sgetting a little bit out of control.
It's getting a little bit out ofcontrol. It's totally out of control.
Ex's just getting a little bit outof control, and you don't feel safe
on the Metro, not really.So let's tell me why well I said?
(12:43):
Because people are getting shot and stabbedevery day. That's one of the
reasons. Let's tell me why wellI said safety? You know, it's
it's different from me before. Tonight'sgrowing concern about crime on LA's Metro after
yet another vicious attack appears to bescary place. The latest one out on
the B Line train just before arrivingto the Vermont Sunset stop. At least
(13:03):
say, a person repeatedly pulled theemergency brake, causing the train to abruptly
stop even after armed security intervened.There's always that guy who pulls the emergency
brake on a train and stops betweenstations. That's just you know, it's
it's I mean, it's as youknow, it's a it's an offense.
I mean that is how they canthey can arrest you for it. Yeah,
(13:24):
but they don't arrest you for anythingnowadays. You know, if you
get arrested for stealing. In theold days, they would put you in
the car, put you in thehandcuffs, and you'd be taught a pretty
swift lesson. Now they write yourticket unless it's over you know, nine
hundred and fifty one dollars. Idon't know how they came up with that
number, But if it's under ninehundred bucks, they'll just write you a
ticket and you've got to appear incourt. That's outrageous. You can go
(13:46):
right back in the store and getthe crap you didn't lift the first time.
Sure, get another ticket. Bythe way, in Texas, do
you think the number is higher orlower than the nine hundred that day?
The threshold it's higher, it istwo thousand dollars. That's why don't they
have the problem there then? Ordo they I think they do have the
problem. We just don't hear aboutit. It's in the city. It's
(14:07):
in Dallas, in Houston, youknow, there were everything's bigger in Texas.
There were already contract security guards onthe train who then were able to
re engage the train, so itcontinued forward when it arrived at the station,
though the same suspect pulled that emergencybrake again. At least say,
the suspect got the train and walkeddown the active, very active on the
(14:31):
train. I just sit there andread or look at my phone. But
this guy's active. Yeah, veryvery long, moving moving around with this
guy the train and walk to anarea close to the public, prompting a
tussle between the suspect and two securityguards and a knife and was able to
step up being a security guard onthe subway. Now, which is the
(14:52):
worst. I mean, it's justrush and roulette down there a knife and
was able to stab one of securityguards in the lower body. At that
time, there was also a shooting, police say after one security guard was
stabbed in the leg, the suspectwas shot, the violence ending when the
wounded suspect collapsed above ground a blockaway at the long prey and Vermont and
(15:15):
that was I think there was awrap on him. This attack one of
many involving public transportation in La Oh. This is the woman the two women
fighting, the woman bus driver andthen the woman homeless rider fighting each other.
This woman, the bus driver wasworking blue in this instance. This
(15:41):
woman accused of fighting an LA Citybus driver over her fear to ride last
month. Several rights and by theway that story is has changed. The
reason why that fight started. Therider went to pay the bus driver and
the bus driver said, no,it's free, you have to pay for
it, and she goes, welltake the money anyway, because I'm not
taking the money it's free, andthat started the fight. That's crazy.
(16:04):
Is that wild? Crazy? Andthe homeless woman who fought the bus driver,
you could tell, you know,when she was, you know,
fighting, she didn't have a shirtthat kind of went down over her ass.
You could see she was wearing aG string. This homeless woman was
wearing a G string. So she'sstill in the game. You know,
I think you wear the G stringto attract dressing sexy game. Yes,
(16:27):
oh I see it worked. Yeah, So she's homeless, yet she's still
attracting. She may want to turndown the agro though. Don't you think
she's a little aggressive? Yeah?Yeah, guys areted into that. Yeah,
she may want to round off someof the sharp edges. They're more
into the g string than they areher hostility. But she was really hostile.
(16:48):
Last month, several writers stabbed onthe R line in separate crimes.
A sixty six year old war.Okay, Moe Kelly is all over these
Metro stories. I would be shockedif he doesn't open with this story.
He is. Nobody in radio orTV is covering the Metro like Moe Kelly
and his crew. Nobody, Andwe'll hear about it tonight, the latest
(17:11):
in the Metro violence. You're listeningto Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty. We were talkingabout our childhood. We had similar childhoods.
I think most people did. Whoare you know if you're in your
forties, fifties or sixties, whereyou would go to a buddy's house and
I'm crozey, I'm sure Krozer didthis as well. You would go to
a friend's house and you would sitaround and if he had a new album,
(17:34):
you'd just listen to the whole album. You know, that's what you
did, Like you know, fogHat would come out, you'd listen to
fog Hat or you know, nineteenseventy seven. I remember the year.
I think it's actually close to Ithink it was seventy seven, maybe seventy
eight, when Hotel California came out. Oh sure, And and I remember,
(17:56):
you know Buddy had the album.We just go to his house and
we listened to you know, justsit around. Weren't smoking weed or drinking.
We were just listening to the album. We didn't have headphones on.
We just all sat in one roomin his either in his bedroom or his
dad's office. Who hit a recordplayer and just listen to the album.
But you can't do that as anadult. No, it's odd. No,
(18:17):
in fact, you almost it's soawkward. It's weird that. Yeah,
you start to go, hey,why are we just listening to an
album we should be watching? Yeah? Yeah, d have you seen this
thing where they watching a sporting noveners? Have they right? We're going out
or doing something? Have you seenthis thing? I think it's in northern
California. The quietest room in theworld. Have you heard anything about it?
(18:38):
No, how does that work?It's and I don't know how they
designed it, but they spend hundredsof thousands of dollars and it's perfectly quiet
in the room, and they giveI think they give you ten thousand dollars
if you can last for two hoursin the room. And most people don't
make it more than ten minutes.WHOA isn't that fat? Isn't that great?
(19:00):
Because you can hear yourself breathing,and every time you move your arm,
you can hear the bones rubbing againsteach other. And it freaks people
out. Wow, And most people, he said, the longest somebody lasted
was an hour. That's cool.I would love to do you think you
could let you a lot of otherpeople. It's freaking other people out.
I'm sure it'll freak me out.Kruzer is the only guy. I think
(19:22):
it could last for like a week. Do you meditate or something? Are
you? I feel like people whomeditate might have a shot at that.
I don't know. Do you meditaterose not formally? Yeah? All right,
don't know what that means, butright I have my way of basically
doing that. I mean, it'snot like you know the sort of meditation
(19:44):
where it's like home or anything likethat. But yeah, i'd find my
ways of Yes, that's cool.I meditate at around two am every night,
and I stop at around nine am. I say, yeah, that's
that's pretty cool. If you're sleepingthat much. No, I'm not.
I didn't go to sleep last nuntilfour am. It's I couldn't sleep.
It's brutal. And then I gotup at eight. My wife had to
go to the doctor. My daughterwas off to school, so I was
(20:07):
up. I slept from four toeight. That's it's not helping. Not
good. No, it's not good. And by the way, and and
that was off of going to Costcolast night instead of having dinner, I
went and got a big ice creamat Costco. I eat like a twenty
three year old who's not going tosee thirty. That's how I eat.
(20:29):
You're living, you're living life,that's your loving life. That's right,
good, that's right. The bestice cream, the best soft ice cream
in the world. If it's cold. Last night at Costco was not a
little soft and disappointed. But ifit's cold, it's like eating little white,
soft sweet pillows at Costco. Youdon't get that ice cream there because
you're vegan. But man, isit good? Oh? That's soft serve
(20:52):
ice cream at Costco. Have youseen a new trend where vegan restaurants are
now introducing meats just because they can'tmake it just off vegan. Oh no,
I've actually heard about this, butI haven't seen it wild. And
you know what? Fine? Imean, it's yeah, a little something
for every bus. Sure, Ihave no problem with that. All right,
let's talk about I want to dothat. Let's talk about TikTok.
(21:17):
Everybody's talking about TikTok. Are theygoing to get the thrown off? All
right? What do you think onthat too? Now, I look,
the freedom of speech thing is BS. Yeah, it's a private show app.
You know, the freedom of speechand some private dime at a First
Amendment. It's not a first amendmentthat TikTok has sued the US government,
saying that the ban that the USgovernment is imposing violates the First Amendment.
(21:40):
They also say that invoking national securityconcerns is not a good enough reason to
restrict this free speech for the onehundred and seventy million Americans they say are
on the platform. I just wantto mention two key things here from this
lawsuit. They say that the ProtectingAmericans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act is
unconstitutional and that TikTok is quote soobviously unconstitutional. In fact, it's not
(22:03):
so obviously unconstitutional. It' that's whatthey say in there. It's not all
right, let's talk about this womanhere. This is unbelievable. This woman
ran a marathon while pregnant. AndI'm not talking about the first trimester.
I mean she was, you know, about to be a A deuce.
(22:25):
Half marathon is enough of an accomplishment, but imagine winning the race, and
now imagine doing that while pregnant.Anna exactly Ellen Anna Ror. She was
the first woman to cross the finishline during a half marathon this week in
Indianapolis. And she did it attwenty three weeks pregnant. Twenty three weeks
yikes, that's wild. Hey,that's six and a half months, nearly
(22:49):
six and a half months. Annaran thirteen point one. People just let
her go get ahead of them,because you know, she's pregnant, and
people always do nice things for people. Maybe I don't even think about that,
but you know who hates her?Every woman who's ever had a child
hates this woman. They've never mether, but they hate her. An
(23:11):
A ran thirteen point one miles andan hour and fifteen minutes. She says
she was a little slower this year, obviously, Is that right? What
did she run? And a round? Thirteen point one miles in an hour
and fifteen minutes? Wait, sheran thirteen miles in an hour and well
it's not a big marit it's ahalf marathon, okay, an I ran
thirteen point one okay, thirteen pointone mile, you're the miles in an
(23:33):
hour and fifteen minutes, an hourand fifteen minutes. I don't think that's
right, am, I if shewas running five minute miles, but that
that's that's really hard to do.Well, let's failure. Yeah, you're
the Stephen Hall. Right, let'sdo the go to the math again.
She says she was a little slower. Right here. Anna ran thirteen point
(23:55):
one miles in an hour and fifteenminutes. Okay, thirteen point one thirteen
miles in an hour and fifteen minutes. Okay, so that's seventy five minutes.
She did seventy five. She tookher seventy five minutes to run thirteen
miles. So she ran thirteen milesto Vine Buying seventy five, So she
did That's not right, seventy thirteenseventy five, so she did that doesn't
(24:23):
seem right. How long? Ican't figure this out. If you there's
some math runs. I can't figureout if you break it into fifteen minute
chunks. So it's five, Wellbring it into five minute chunks, because
so that's twelve thirty, it's fiveminute miles. Yeah, she's running sub
six on a half marathon. That'simpossible. Well she's well, she's really
(24:45):
pregnant. I just think that.I think the anchor may have misspoken or
you know, miswritten it or misreadit. I don't know. Maybe I'm
wrong. Maybe she's really super athletic. That's insanely fast, I think.
Or maybe that kid is running too. Help her. You're towing around a
five and a half month old.What if the kids running to whatever is
in there? It's a lot ofstuff. With all that stuff in there,
(25:08):
you know, it's a human being. Mark That's what I meant,
mark human beings the stuff to keepit like? Is that what you remember
from med school? Yeah? Itwas. It's the what do they call
that plus centole something? Yeah,yeah, thank you. That stuff's heavy.
It's my point class. Yeah,all right, let's take a quick
(25:30):
break here and then we'll come backfind out what most we got back to
the mouth on that. You're listeningto Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf

That's a big deal, all right. I'm very excited. Mo Kelly's
with us, always excited when Metrohas a big fart going on, and
today with no exception, Yeah,it just seems like it is getting worse
(27:30):
because I know when something happens onthe Metro, I'm going to talk about
it. And now it's just aboutevery damn day, every day. And
I understand from your producer and alsoa weekend host. Tuala, You've got
a big guest for tomorrow. Yeah, we're going to speak to Ellie County
supervisor Katherine Parker, who has beenvocal about her refusal to ride the Metro
(27:52):
by herself. Yeah, she saidshe feels unsafe, would never do it.
But I would like to be ableto talk to her and go inside
and talk about some of the discussionsthey're having behind the scenes, What might
change, What are they trying todo, What resistance is she facing?
Right, and a world class citywhen they have stabbings and shootings and rapes
and assaults on the train, theyare proactive, they do something about it.
(28:17):
I don't see anything moving that direction. Well, I don't know,
And that's why I want to askthe questions, like, what is it
that Metchro is trying to do behindthe scenes, What are the conversations being
had, What type of options areavailable beyond just our complaints? Right?
Two things I picked up in yourshow recently, when you're talking about the
encampment at UCLA, use the term, which is so great, it's the
(28:41):
dumbest smart kids in America. Well, I'm quite sure they're bright. They
have the grades. They're intellectually probablypretty solid, right, but they don't
you know, as they say,common sense ain't all that common. And
I'm not against the idea of raisingyour voice, using your voice for protest
things that you believe in. Butthere is such a thing as smart protest
(29:03):
and dumb protest. There is.That's one thing I picked up. Another
one is I got a tip fromyou that I used last night. I
was coming home last night around teno'clock. I had half a tank of
gas, Thank you. I don'tlike going to sleep at night with a
half tank of gas, so Iwanted to pull over the gas station to
fill up. And I didn't becauseI've heard you say you don't go to
gas stations at night. No,I refuse, and I tell all of
(29:27):
my friends and family do not.If only because you think about a gas
station at night, there's a spotlight, a literal spotlight on you. They
know that you're getting ready to spendmoney. They know that you are distracted
to a certain degree, right,and they know that you're not. Your
head is not on a swivel.There's all the time. No, and
(29:48):
I refuse to. I'm not goingto put myself in a situation where I'm
more likely to become a victim.Did you realize you were having the impact
that you clearly are having on TimConway Jr. I'm home a jotting down
everything you say, and he's he'sincorporating it into his life. Well,
if I can save one life,that's right. You know this one.
Doug Sectly used to say, there'stwo people and two types of people in
(30:10):
this world, slow learners and nonlearners. And I like to think of
myself as a slow learner. Andafter you've said it like two or three
times, you don't get gas atnight? I picked that up. Well,
I think of it this way.It's either that or ride the metro.
That's right, all right, Kelly'sgoing back to this old crew.
Mark, thank you. We'll seeyou next Tuesday, Buddy, all right,
(30:30):
Giant Studs We live on KFI AMsix forty Conway Show on demand on
the iHeart Radio app. Now youcan always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Mondaythrough Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listeningto the Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. I will tell youthe joke I got fired for at KBC.
I'll try to clean up little becausedon't want to get fired again for
it. But KBC hired me afterkalis X fired me, and then after
this joke, KBC fired me,and I thought, wow, I've been
(00:24):
fired from two out of the threetalk stations in LA. I better straighten
up if I have any hopes ofgetting a job here at kfive. So
I went on one night and here'sthe joke. I told. There's a
traveling salesman walking around Los Angeles andhe's he's selling stereos, stereoparts and stereos,
(00:49):
and he also sells, you know, flower seeds and stuff. He's
got all kinds of crap going on. So he knocks on this door and
an eight year old kid answers,an eight year old boy answers, and
he opens the door and the eightyear old boy is standing there in his
mom's underwear, smoking a cigar witha martini in one hand. He's eight
(01:12):
years old. He's in his mom'sunderwear smoking a cigar with a martini in
his hand, and he's covered inky jelly. And the traveling salesman said,
are your parents home? And thekid said, what the F do
you think? That's a great job? That got me fired? KB Aniston
(01:37):
surprised that that gut you fired.I was expecting something much more. I
think that I listeners and an advertiserpiled one, and I think that was
a wrap. I see, soit was you were close to the end
already. But I do remember leavingKBC and I was on the four or
five freeway. I remember exactly whereI was, and I called KFI out
(02:00):
of the blue, and I didn'teven know who the program director was.
I mean, that's how you knowinsulated. I was over at Klea Sex
and I said, hey, canI speak to the program director? And
somebody got on the phone and thenand he said hold on on second.
Robin got on the phone and Isaid, oh, I said, you're
the program right, yeah, I'mthe program director for kfive. I said,
(02:22):
hey, I do the Conway andSteckler. She goes, I know
who you are. And I said, hey, do you have anything open
there? Maybe weekends, fill ins, whatever, And she goes. I
really don't, but I will keepyou in mind, you know, in
case anything pops up. And Iremember hanging the phone up driving the four
or five, really depressed because I'dblown my chance at KBC because I told
(02:44):
a stupid joke. And then I'mdriving home, I'm thinking, how am
I gonna make any money? Igot a kid who's three years old,
I've got my wife's not working rightnow, and I was like panicking.
And then a week later, RobinBerdlucci called and said, hey, do
you want to do a fill inon a weekend? And I filled in
on a weekend I don't know.I f like eight to twelve, like
(03:07):
eightpm to midnight, and then didn'thear anything for a couple of days.
Then did another weekend, and thengot a weekend slot on KFI. And
the very first weekend I worked hereat KFI, Steve Gregory, who I'd
never met my life, was outdoing a live remote of this gay porno
actor who killed somebody with a Samuraisword. I remember that story, and
(03:30):
he's being held up on the Yeah, there was a whole like Chatsworth,
right, Yeah, he was upin the mountains in Chatsworth where we used
to go hike when I was akid. I was familiar with the area.
And he came on and then hewas a reporting live from there.
I think Bellia was with him.Yes, Belly, you were with him
on this, I was, yes. And that story started when we went
on the air, and it finishedwith him jumping off the mountain and killing
(03:53):
himself right as we went off theair. And that was That was like
my very first day or second daythat I was on the air, and
I'm like, Wow, this isa wild station. The people out covering
stuff like that. That's crazy.And then my very first time I worked
here on KFI, Michael Kroser wasthe guy doing THEI that's not true,
(04:15):
very eerie, yes, sir,true story. And I said first and
last, And I said at onepoint, so I was new to the
station. I said, he We'vegot more news with Mike Krozer and uh,
and he came here, it's MichaelKrozer. I said, Okay,
sorry, and it's been Michael Krozersince. Glad we got it. Clear
(04:36):
it up on the fresh that's right. And then I remember making the mistake
and looking back on this, Ifeel like a complete idiot. But I'll
tell the story because it's it's true. But I said to Krozer when I
started, when I filled in forBrian Suits, Suits and Kennedy and they
left the station. I finally gotthat job doing seven to ten. I
(04:58):
said to Krozer, I said,Hey, are there a bunch of people
who work at the station or pissedthat I got this time slot? And
he goes, are you kidding me? And I and I thought there'd be
like one or two. He said, everybody's pissed. I said, oh,
okay, I got to warm upto people around. That's radio though,
Yeah, that's radio. But mydaughter was three when I started here,
(05:21):
and she graduates high school in twoweeks. She's eighteen years old.
Just the best man. And whenI started, your Krozier's daughter was I
think six something like that, dependingin the area, five or six.
How old was she in June oftwo thousand and nine, eight eight years
old? Seven? Seven? Okay, she was seven, And I remember
she used to come in and hangout with Kroser, sleeping on the couch
(05:44):
of the newsroom because, yeah,the Krozer had that awful schedule back then.
Yeah, she used to put asleeping bag down behind Krozer and sleep
like you know, behind him.Adorable kid. Yeah, she's spent a
couple of Christmases here. Yes,it is OK five And I always thought,
man, that's a hell of adad. I got a lot of
my tips from being a dad fromCrozier. That's true, buddy. He's
(06:04):
a good guy with a lot ofmade a lot of sacrifices unbelievable and that's
why you can make sacrifices working withbig talent like yourself. Do I understand
how children work? I understand howto wind shit? Right? All right?
Mark, please wet blanket. You'relistening to Tim conwaytun you're on demand
(06:28):
from KFI AM six forty. MarkThompson is here. He has his own
very popular show on YouTube, TheMark Thompson Show. Thanks almost thirty two
thousand subscribers. That's a lot,it is we it's just five million podcasts
out there, yeah, I knowworldwide they're five million. Mark just looked
that up during the one of ourbreaks. Five million podcasts and they say
(06:49):
there's seven hundred thousand active podcasts,and then what you call active I don't
know, but anyway, you pencilit out. There's a lot of stuff
to listen to, you know,what's great about And again, I'm in
talk radio, so I'm sort ofit's very self serving. But that being
said, I'm gonna tell the story. Anyway. I drove from Portland to
(07:12):
la by myself, and it wasnot football season, but it was a
Sunday morning at seven o'clock. Youknow, when you're driving cross country,
you don't sleep in. You neversleep in. You get up at six,
you have coffee, you get onthe road and you drive. That's
your job all day. You driveand sometimes ten hours and people are driving
right now. You're in a truckor you're in a car. You're driving
(07:35):
somewhere for eight, nine, tenhours. This story is for you.
But when I drove from Portland toLA I was tired of listening to my
CDs or my you know, ormusic or whatever. So I turned on
the radio. And I was ina place in California where I got no
FM signals. You know, thereare pack pockets in the central areas of
(07:55):
California where you don't pick up anykind of FM. It's all AM.
So I'm on AM radio and theonly three stations I could get are religious
stations, you know, and Sundaymorning they're all religious. So I said,
okay, this is better than nothing. I turned it on and I'm
listening to this guy talking about religionand how he was saved and and some
(08:18):
miracle that happened to him, andhe was taking callers, and about a
half hour into it, I'm like, now this guy's onto something. I
like this guy. You know that. I think that's how they get you
in into religion is if you justsit there uninterrupted and listen to and listen,
listen to what they're saying. Yeah, listen to the message. Yes.
(08:39):
Yeah. And so after he wasdone, a sports show came on
and it was a national sports showand I never heard of the guy before,
but I knew he was live becausehe was talking about games that were
in progress, and as I drove, I felt like he was a friend.
He had told a story about hischildhood, told a story about his
(09:00):
mom. He told a story abouthow his wife got sick and then she
got better, and I was investedin this guy's life. And the next
day, this is a Saturday.The next day I was driving Sunday he
came on again and I'm like,oh, I know this guy. Yeah,
And I think that's how you gethooked as well. I also think
that there is a quality of justlistening that is a connection. It's weird,
(09:22):
don't have you know, I againtook my radio show to YouTube,
and now I'm in YouTube where theycan you know, you can see the
person as well as here the person. And i'd suggest that if you're just
listening, you have a different relationshipwith the person than if you're watching and
listening. It's absolutely different. Itis. And I've you know, I
did television for ages, and I'vedone radio for a long time, and
(09:46):
the idea. I've done radio sinceI was you know, since I was
seventeen. And the reality is thatyou develop a relationship with the person on
the radio in a different way thanyou do those people on television. So
it's weird. Back to your I'mnot surprised that in a short time you
feel as though, well, that'smy buddy who I listened to yesterday and
I that was my sports buddy.Yeah. And by the way, this
(10:07):
is how this is how hooked intoI was listening to the sports guy.
He was talking about the RAMS andthe upcoming season, I called in.
I couldn't wait to talk to theguy. I love that. And then
when I was on the air withI'm like, hey, buddy, look,
I just hooked into your show.But I think you're great. I
think you're a funny guy. Ireally enjoyed the last two days I spent
(10:28):
with you. And I told himI've been driving from Portland to Burbank.
And he seemed to like genuinely carethat that I was telling him that I've
just hooked into him and I andI and I really enjoy a show.
That's cool. He didn't say,yeah, yeah, caller, thank you?
What is your customer question? Youhave been question? And I made
that's some stupid thing about the rams, you know, just to just to
(10:48):
get on to tell him that.I thought when people are called caller by
someone, I think that's a footdown. I don't think you should say
caller to somebody. I mean,you've got their name, you know it's
been you've got call screeners. Thename is Tim. You can just say
Tim. You know, if you'reagreeing with when you say call or don't
you agree with me on that?Yeah? I do. I think it
diminishes. I do. I do. I think you're right. Okay,
(11:09):
we have an update here. Itold you we're going to update you on
the Metro violence. There's been alot of violence on the Metro. Let's
find out what's going on with theviolent encounter between a man and security guards
at a Metro B Line station today. The man stabbed one of the guards,
had later died after he was shot. The latest and a string of
vicious attacks in I'd what a busyday on the Metro for these two.
(11:33):
Right, he was stabbed, astabber got stabbed a person and the stabber
got shot to death, had laterdied after he was shot. The latest
and a string of vicious attacks inand around the Metro trains, buses and
stations that at Passengers on Edge eyewitnessedA supporter, Tim Pullium, is live
in East Hollywood, where he spokewith some of them about their safety concerns.
Tim Hellen David the security guard isthis guy, Ti, Tim Pulliam's
(11:56):
the most underrated reporter in town.This guy sinks his teeth into these stories.
He really gets the He gets alot of information that a lot of
other people don't get. No,he's sort of like a Steve Gregory type
like that. We must have alot of connection. What's his name,
Tim Pulliam, He's great, EllenDavid. The security guard is in stable
conditioning hospital, which is just stepsaway from where he was stabbed by that
(12:18):
suspect. The suspect's body is nolonger here on the scene. People are
reacting to this latest Metro attacks.Just getting a little bit out of control
and you don't feel safe. It'sgetting a little bit out of control.
It's getting a little bit out ofcontrol. It's totally out of control.
Ex's just getting a little bit outof control, and you don't feel safe
on the Metro, not really.So let's tell me why well I said?
(12:43):
Because people are getting shot and stabbedevery day. That's one of the
reasons. Let's tell me why wellI said safety? You know, it's
it's different from me before. Tonight'sgrowing concern about crime on LA's Metro after
yet another vicious attack appears to bescary place. The latest one out on
the B Line train just before arrivingto the Vermont Sunset stop. At least
(13:03):
say, a person repeatedly pulled theemergency brake, causing the train to abruptly
stop even after armed security intervened.There's always that guy who pulls the emergency
brake on a train and stops betweenstations. That's just you know, it's
it's I mean, it's as youknow, it's a it's an offense.
I mean that is how they canthey can arrest you for it. Yeah,
(13:24):
but they don't arrest you for anythingnowadays. You know, if you
get arrested for stealing. In theold days, they would put you in
the car, put you in thehandcuffs, and you'd be taught a pretty
swift lesson. Now they write yourticket unless it's over you know, nine
hundred and fifty one dollars. Idon't know how they came up with that
number, But if it's under ninehundred bucks, they'll just write you a
ticket and you've got to appear incourt. That's outrageous. You can go
(13:46):
right back in the store and getthe crap you didn't lift the first time.
Sure, get another ticket. Bythe way, in Texas, do
you think the number is higher orlower than the nine hundred that day?
The threshold it's higher, it istwo thousand dollars. That's why don't they
have the problem there then? Ordo they I think they do have the
problem. We just don't hear aboutit. It's in the city. It's
(14:07):
in Dallas, in Houston, youknow, there were everything's bigger in Texas.
There were already contract security guards onthe train who then were able to
re engage the train, so itcontinued forward when it arrived at the station,
though the same suspect pulled that emergencybrake again. At least say,
the suspect got the train and walkeddown the active, very active on the
(14:31):
train. I just sit there andread or look at my phone. But
this guy's active. Yeah, veryvery long, moving moving around with this
guy the train and walk to anarea close to the public, prompting a
tussle between the suspect and two securityguards and a knife and was able to
step up being a security guard onthe subway. Now, which is the
(14:52):
worst. I mean, it's justrush and roulette down there a knife and
was able to stab one of securityguards in the lower body. At that
time, there was also a shooting, police say after one security guard was
stabbed in the leg, the suspectwas shot, the violence ending when the
wounded suspect collapsed above ground a blockaway at the long prey and Vermont and
(15:15):
that was I think there was awrap on him. This attack one of
many involving public transportation in La Oh. This is the woman the two women
fighting, the woman bus driver andthen the woman homeless rider fighting each other.
This woman, the bus driver wasworking blue in this instance. This
(15:41):
woman accused of fighting an LA Citybus driver over her fear to ride last
month. Several rights and by theway that story is has changed. The
reason why that fight started. Therider went to pay the bus driver and
the bus driver said, no,it's free, you have to pay for
it, and she goes, welltake the money anyway, because I'm not
taking the money it's free, andthat started the fight. That's crazy.
(16:04):
Is that wild? Crazy? Andthe homeless woman who fought the bus driver,
you could tell, you know,when she was, you know,
fighting, she didn't have a shirtthat kind of went down over her ass.
You could see she was wearing aG string. This homeless woman was
wearing a G string. So she'sstill in the game. You know,
I think you wear the G stringto attract dressing sexy game. Yes,
(16:27):
oh I see it worked. Yeah, So she's homeless, yet she's still
attracting. She may want to turndown the agro though. Don't you think
she's a little aggressive? Yeah?Yeah, guys areted into that. Yeah,
she may want to round off someof the sharp edges. They're more
into the g string than they areher hostility. But she was really hostile.
(16:48):
Last month, several writers stabbed onthe R line in separate crimes.
A sixty six year old war.Okay, Moe Kelly is all over these
Metro stories. I would be shockedif he doesn't open with this story.
He is. Nobody in radio orTV is covering the Metro like Moe Kelly
and his crew. Nobody, Andwe'll hear about it tonight, the latest
(17:11):
in the Metro violence. You're listeningto Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty. We were talkingabout our childhood. We had similar childhoods.
I think most people did. Whoare you know if you're in your
forties, fifties or sixties, whereyou would go to a buddy's house and
I'm crozey, I'm sure Krozer didthis as well. You would go to
a friend's house and you would sitaround and if he had a new album,
(17:34):
you'd just listen to the whole album. You know, that's what you
did, Like you know, fogHat would come out, you'd listen to
fog Hat or you know, nineteenseventy seven. I remember the year.
I think it's actually close to Ithink it was seventy seven, maybe seventy
eight, when Hotel California came out. Oh sure, And and I remember,
(17:56):
you know Buddy had the album.We just go to his house and
we listened to you know, justsit around. Weren't smoking weed or drinking.
We were just listening to the album. We didn't have headphones on.
We just all sat in one roomin his either in his bedroom or his
dad's office. Who hit a recordplayer and just listen to the album.
But you can't do that as anadult. No, it's odd. No,
(18:17):
in fact, you almost it's soawkward. It's weird that. Yeah,
you start to go, hey,why are we just listening to an
album we should be watching? Yeah? Yeah, d have you seen this
thing where they watching a sporting noveners? Have they right? We're going out
or doing something? Have you seenthis thing? I think it's in northern
California. The quietest room in theworld. Have you heard anything about it?
(18:38):
No, how does that work?It's and I don't know how they
designed it, but they spend hundredsof thousands of dollars and it's perfectly quiet
in the room, and they giveI think they give you ten thousand dollars
if you can last for two hoursin the room. And most people don't
make it more than ten minutes.WHOA isn't that fat? Isn't that great?
(19:00):
Because you can hear yourself breathing,and every time you move your arm,
you can hear the bones rubbing againsteach other. And it freaks people
out. Wow, And most people, he said, the longest somebody lasted
was an hour. That's cool.I would love to do you think you
could let you a lot of otherpeople. It's freaking other people out.
I'm sure it'll freak me out.Kruzer is the only guy. I think
(19:22):
it could last for like a week. Do you meditate or something? Are
you? I feel like people whomeditate might have a shot at that.
I don't know. Do you meditaterose not formally? Yeah? All right,
don't know what that means, butright I have my way of basically
doing that. I mean, it'snot like you know the sort of meditation
(19:44):
where it's like home or anything likethat. But yeah, i'd find my
ways of Yes, that's cool.I meditate at around two am every night,
and I stop at around nine am. I say, yeah, that's
that's pretty cool. If you're sleepingthat much. No, I'm not.
I didn't go to sleep last nuntilfour am. It's I couldn't sleep.
It's brutal. And then I gotup at eight. My wife had to
go to the doctor. My daughterwas off to school, so I was
(20:07):
up. I slept from four toeight. That's it's not helping. Not
good. No, it's not good. And by the way, and and
that was off of going to Costcolast night instead of having dinner, I
went and got a big ice creamat Costco. I eat like a twenty
three year old who's not going tosee thirty. That's how I eat.
(20:29):
You're living, you're living life,that's your loving life. That's right,
good, that's right. The bestice cream, the best soft ice cream
in the world. If it's cold. Last night at Costco was not a
little soft and disappointed. But ifit's cold, it's like eating little white,
soft sweet pillows at Costco. Youdon't get that ice cream there because
you're vegan. But man, isit good? Oh? That's soft serve
(20:52):
ice cream at Costco. Have youseen a new trend where vegan restaurants are
now introducing meats just because they can'tmake it just off vegan. Oh no,
I've actually heard about this, butI haven't seen it wild. And
you know what? Fine? Imean, it's yeah, a little something
for every bus. Sure, Ihave no problem with that. All right,
let's talk about I want to dothat. Let's talk about TikTok.
(21:17):
Everybody's talking about TikTok. Are theygoing to get the thrown off? All
right? What do you think onthat too? Now, I look,
the freedom of speech thing is BS. Yeah, it's a private show app.
You know, the freedom of speechand some private dime at a First
Amendment. It's not a first amendmentthat TikTok has sued the US government,
saying that the ban that the USgovernment is imposing violates the First Amendment.
(21:40):
They also say that invoking national securityconcerns is not a good enough reason to
restrict this free speech for the onehundred and seventy million Americans they say are
on the platform. I just wantto mention two key things here from this
lawsuit. They say that the ProtectingAmericans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act is
unconstitutional and that TikTok is quote soobviously unconstitutional. In fact, it's not
(22:03):
so obviously unconstitutional. It' that's whatthey say in there. It's not all
right, let's talk about this womanhere. This is unbelievable. This woman
ran a marathon while pregnant. AndI'm not talking about the first trimester.
I mean she was, you know, about to be a A deuce.
(22:25):
Half marathon is enough of an accomplishment, but imagine winning the race, and
now imagine doing that while pregnant.Anna exactly Ellen Anna Ror. She was
the first woman to cross the finishline during a half marathon this week in
Indianapolis. And she did it attwenty three weeks pregnant. Twenty three weeks
yikes, that's wild. Hey,that's six and a half months, nearly
(22:49):
six and a half months. Annaran thirteen point one. People just let
her go get ahead of them,because you know, she's pregnant, and
people always do nice things for people. Maybe I don't even think about that,
but you know who hates her?Every woman who's ever had a child
hates this woman. They've never mether, but they hate her. An
(23:11):
A ran thirteen point one miles andan hour and fifteen minutes. She says
she was a little slower this year, obviously, Is that right? What
did she run? And a round? Thirteen point one miles in an hour
and fifteen minutes? Wait, sheran thirteen miles in an hour and well
it's not a big marit it's ahalf marathon, okay, an I ran
thirteen point one okay, thirteen pointone mile, you're the miles in an
(23:33):
hour and fifteen minutes, an hourand fifteen minutes. I don't think that's
right, am, I if shewas running five minute miles, but that
that's that's really hard to do.Well, let's failure. Yeah, you're
the Stephen Hall. Right, let'sdo the go to the math again.
She says she was a little slower. Right here. Anna ran thirteen point
(23:55):
one miles in an hour and fifteenminutes. Okay, thirteen point one thirteen
miles in an hour and fifteen minutes. Okay, so that's seventy five minutes.
She did seventy five. She tookher seventy five minutes to run thirteen
miles. So she ran thirteen milesto Vine Buying seventy five, So she
did That's not right, seventy thirteenseventy five, so she did that doesn't
(24:23):
seem right. How long? Ican't figure this out. If you there's
some math runs. I can't figureout if you break it into fifteen minute
chunks. So it's five, Wellbring it into five minute chunks, because
so that's twelve thirty, it's fiveminute miles. Yeah, she's running sub
six on a half marathon. That'simpossible. Well she's well, she's really
(24:45):
pregnant. I just think that.I think the anchor may have misspoken or
you know, miswritten it or misreadit. I don't know. Maybe I'm
wrong. Maybe she's really super athletic. That's insanely fast, I think.
Or maybe that kid is running too. Help her. You're towing around a
five and a half month old.What if the kids running to whatever is
in there? It's a lot ofstuff. With all that stuff in there,

That's a big deal, all right. I'm very excited. Mo Kelly's
with us, always excited when Metrohas a big fart going on, and
today with no exception, Yeah,it just seems like it is getting worse
(27:30):
because I know when something happens onthe Metro, I'm going to talk about
it. And now it's just aboutevery damn day, every day. And
I understand from your producer and alsoa weekend host. Tuala, You've got
a big guest for tomorrow. Yeah, we're going to speak to Ellie County
supervisor Katherine Parker, who has beenvocal about her refusal to ride the Metro
(27:52):
by herself. Yeah, she saidshe feels unsafe, would never do it.
But I would like to be ableto talk to her and go inside
and talk about some of the discussionsthey're having behind the scenes, What might
change, What are they trying todo, What resistance is she facing?
Right, and a world class citywhen they have stabbings and shootings and rapes
and assaults on the train, theyare proactive, they do something about it.
(28:17):
I don't see anything moving that direction. Well, I don't know,
And that's why I want to askthe questions, like, what is it
that Metchro is trying to do behindthe scenes, What are the conversations being
had, What type of options areavailable beyond just our complaints? Right?
Two things I picked up in yourshow recently, when you're talking about the
encampment at UCLA, use the term, which is so great, it's the
(28:41):
dumbest smart kids in America. Well, I'm quite sure they're bright. They
have the grades. They're intellectually probablypretty solid, right, but they don't
you know, as they say,common sense ain't all that common. And
I'm not against the idea of raisingyour voice, using your voice for protest
things that you believe in. Butthere is such a thing as smart protest
(29:03):
and dumb protest. There is.That's one thing I picked up. Another
one is I got a tip fromyou that I used last night. I
was coming home last night around teno'clock. I had half a tank of
gas, Thank you. I don'tlike going to sleep at night with a
half tank of gas, so Iwanted to pull over the gas station to
fill up. And I didn't becauseI've heard you say you don't go to
gas stations at night. No,I refuse, and I tell all of
(29:27):
my friends and family do not.If only because you think about a gas
station at night, there's a spotlight, a literal spotlight on you. They
know that you're getting ready to spendmoney. They know that you are distracted
to a certain degree, right,and they know that you're not. Your
head is not on a swivel.There's all the time. No, and
(29:48):
I refuse to. I'm not goingto put myself in a situation where I'm
more likely to become a victim.Did you realize you were having the impact
that you clearly are having on TimConway Jr. I'm home a jotting down
everything you say, and he's he'sincorporating it into his life. Well,
if I can save one life,that's right. You know this one.
Doug Sectly used to say, there'stwo people and two types of people in
(30:10):
this world, slow learners and nonlearners. And I like to think of
myself as a slow learner. Andafter you've said it like two or three
times, you don't get gas atnight? I picked that up. Well,
I think of it this way.It's either that or ride the metro.
That's right, all right, Kelly'sgoing back to this old crew.
Mark, thank you. We'll seeyou next Tuesday, Buddy, all right,
