It's KFI Am sixty and you're listeningto the Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. You've got live programmingthrough the weekend here on KFI. And
as I was mentioning, it's goingto be particularly travel heavy, so try
to get you know, to wherewe are going early, is what they're
saying. I mentioned Jim Carrey.It's because it's kind of jumped out.
(00:24):
I guess he's selling his house.One of the things about LA is you
know in the paper, you know, whether you're digital paper, you get
the old school real paper whatever,or you get those small papers like the
Burbank paper. Bar Bank's got apaper, and you know, a lot
of communities have their own little seewhat's happening in your community, Alairmont Courier,
(00:49):
thank you exactly the point, ClairemontCourier. Your community has some publication,
it's a great chance to see what'shappening in your community. And also
for like local businesses too, youknow, mention the people in the community
and some kind of formal ad whatthey're doing. You know, in addition
to advertising like on a place likeKFI, which blasts you into all of
(01:12):
these different communities, and makes peopleaware of your business. You can advertise
in some of the small paper anyway. The point is that floating through all
of the information that you get,particularly if you live in southern California,
is celebrity real estate. It's athing. I mean, there's just more
(01:34):
real estate churning through that has toucheda celebrity. Sometimes it's like twice removed.
You know, it'll be something like, you know, John Appatou used
to own this house like two ownersago. They'll they'll play it like that,
you know, or you know whois just through looking at this house,
(01:57):
right, and then they'll mention somecelebrity anyway. So it's in the
context of being aware of some ofthese celebrity offerings that I caught this.
Jim Carrey is cutting the price ofhis home. He's lived there thirty years.
And if it's the home I'm thinkingof, it's in my old neighborhood.
(02:23):
Michael Krozer, I used to livenear Jim Carrey. And you're probably
saying, Mark, how can youMark Thompson afford to live next to super
wealthy, talented Jim Carrey? Oh? Was he wealthy and talented back then?
When you live there yes, yes, And in fact, he is
(02:45):
so wealthy talented that he purchased theproperty next to his. So he had
two super expensive, expansive properties rightnext to each other, and he turned
them into one big, expensive,expensive property. And you'll be interested to
know that you had to go amile farther to get to my house,
(03:07):
which was in the much cheaper seats, in the same way that you might
pass by, you know, flourseats at an NBA game and you might
wave hello, but then you haveto walk up to the rafters to get
to your seats. That's a littleYou've had numerous celebrities that have lived in
Clairemont over the years. I thinkprobably most famously, the two that I
instantly come to mind are Snoop Dogg. Wow. I don't know if he
(03:31):
still does not, but I keephearing that. You know, he's not
in the LBC And Clara Peller,Oh, she was from the Where's the
Beef? Yeah, that's pretty good. That's actually a really good brag.
I love that artist Millard Sheets,very famous residents, very nice. We
(03:59):
lived when we and our neighborhood burnedand we had to move on the fly.
We moved to Venice. We movedto Venice because I was doing a
radio show out of Westwood One andall this other stuff that was close to
maybe that, and Courtney had hadher work and stuff like that. Anyway,
so Venice is kind of dangerous atthe time. I'm sure they've cleaned
it all up by now, butat the time, Venice is kind of
(04:21):
dangerous. But there was a famousartist who lived across the street, and
his name is John Baldassari. Nowhe's this very famous artist, and he
(04:42):
passed away. I'm speaking haltingly becauseI didn't know how to say this,
but I guess I'll just say hepassed away while we were there. And
they put twenty four hour security aroundthe place, which I guess was filled
with John Baldassari pieces of one sortor another. So for security reasons,
I mean, the place is effectivelya muse of John Baldasari pieces. They
had twenty four hour security there.So all of a sudden we went and
(05:04):
I mean, Venice was really dangerous. We had two guys killed at the
end of our block. Okay,so this is not like just oh,
you're just you know, freaking out, because it's a no, it's a
dangerous neighborhood at least it was.Then again, I'm sure that Venice is
all cleaned up by now. Butanyway, Balassari's security team, they made
(05:25):
us feel safe, right all ofa sudden, You've got somebody watching your
place twenty four hours a day.Was very, very cool. So that
was our little brush with somebody inVenice who was famous. But anyway,
Jim Carrey has been trying to sellhis house and it is a ten eleven
(05:46):
thousand really square foot estate and theyhave reduced the price to twenty two million.
They and that's that's a price reduction. It was on the market for
twenty eight point nine million in Februaryof last year. But they can't find
(06:12):
a buyer and he's marking the propertydown. So this is for the two
lot combined into one property or didwas it split up? Again? This
is a really good question, andit's one that I asked myself as I'm
reading about it. Oh, Ithought you're going to say, as you're
in the market as I am looking, yes, are you going to need
(06:35):
all the money upfront? I mean, is there a way on the money
part? Is there a way wecould work something where maybe i'd pay you.
My wife's always sending me like,hey, look at this house on
the other end of the country.But you got to take off like four
or five zeros from what we're talkingabout. Oh no, I know,
but I mean I do that thingtoo. Look at that as state I
could live in in Texas. Anyway, the reduced asking price, and it's
(07:00):
been reached several times they couldn't finda buyer. It was probably marked on
a twenty seven million about two monthsago, then later cut it a second
time to twenty four million, Andthis week is the breaking news for those
looking to move into Jim Carrey's housetwenty one point nine million, So that's
been discouded seven million from the originalprice. Now to your question, croz
(07:24):
quickly, it's a one story house, five bedrooms, six full baths,
then three half baths. Spacious propertycovers over two acres. It sounds like
you're getting the whole shooting match,getting twice as many bathrooms as rooms.
Features a tennis court, a waterfallpool, of course it does, and
an outdoor tree top platform for yogaand meditation. This is the combined properties
(07:48):
because I know I remember the tenniscourt was on one and it's well,
all I can say chef's kitchen,ample cabinetry. If you're looking for that,
I love it. It didn't havea real problem. Can I ask
you about how ample is the cabinettree? If I could just pick it
two or three? Uh, movietheater all the rest. Any if you're
(08:11):
looking for it, it's Jim Carrey'splace and you can pick it up for
a little north of twenty million dollars. Enjoy. You're listening to Tim Conway
Junior on demand from KFI AM sixforty Mark Thompson and for Tim Conway Junior,
Tim's back on Mondays. Taken acouple of days to celebrate his daughter's
(08:33):
graduation and his anniversary. It's apretty big deal. What's happened in the
NCAA. If you watch college athletics, those athletes you're watching, they are
set to be paid, and bigtime paid. There is a completion of
(08:56):
voting to approve a settle on agreement. It was the result of a lawsuit.
That's what happens. Oftentimes that's whena settlement agreement is needed. That
paves the way for universities to payathletes directly. So forget about amateurism in
major college sports. The athletes aregoing to get money, and they were
(09:20):
saying, look, you guys aremaking all this money off of my likeness.
You're selling jerseys with my name,my number. I want some of
that money. They are three antitrust cases that were part of this agreement,
almost two point eight billion dollars indamages. That money is going to
(09:41):
be distributed to athletes that are playingnow and former athletes. They sued in
this case for not being compensated forthe use of their name, image and
likeness. They use this stuff again, name, image and likeness. They
argued on television bro in other words, you're broadcasting and you're showing me I'm
(10:05):
a star athlete, and I'm notmaking any money on this television event.
The network's making money, the school'smaking money, but I'm not making any
money and I'm the product. Thebig news out of this agreement is this
new revenue sharing model that will payathletes a cut of the money that their
(10:26):
schools generate from broadcast rights deals andalso from ticket sales and sponsorships. So
if this goes through, revenue sharingprobably would start at the beginning of the
twenty twenty five twenty six academic year. Again, this has to settle out,
(10:48):
but current athletes would have a chanceto object or opt out of the
agreement. They say, then asa final step, there will be an
estimate as to exactly how much willbe paid out. And the NCAA Board
of Governors voted to implement these settlementterms, and in so doing with that
(11:13):
vote, these are significant cases thatare going to pay out significance, significant
amounts of money. I mean twopoint eight billion in damages owed to the
former athletes who sued, and that'sjust a part of the money. Part
of the money you will go tothe former athletes, and part of the
money will go to the current athletes, and it'll establish a model for how
(11:41):
they'll play and how they'll be compensatedfor playing. And that's just going to
change the whole dynamic on the courtand on the field. But it was
inevitable. I mean, there's justso much money in the broadcast rights to
live sports. It had to change. So the way it'll work, at
(12:03):
least the way it's proposed is thatthe Big ten, the Big twelve,
SEC, NCAA, all of thesevoted, and the power conferences are going
to pay forty percent of the damagesowed from these schools. Pretty wild college
(12:24):
sports, and you know, I'veheard Petros talk about this before. College
sports really offered you a chance ata free education, and if you took
it, it was a great opportunity. But there was sort of a inherent
unfairness, right, I mean,they're making all this money. Why does
the football coach at the university makeall that money, makes more than the
(12:48):
dean makes, more than the presidentmakes, more than most of the professors
put together. Because that football teambrings in more in terms of the endowment
and the revenue that goes into theuniversity or college then does any other department
head or official at the university.So that coach who feels that winning team
(13:15):
that brings in alumni dollars, etcetera. So that's why the coach walks
around like he owns the place,because honestly, he does own the place.
So this was inevitable. Too muchmoney on the table, too many
people being left out. And youknow, whether it's right or not,
(13:35):
it seems right for those athletes toget something, But it does certainly change
the amateur model of watching players whoare legitimate collegians you know legitimately enrolled in
polypside class on Monday that now hasYeah, they've got pollyside class on Monday,
(13:58):
but they are millionaires, many ofthem. It definitely changes and will
continue to change the dynamic on campus. So that's pretty big breaking news and
as I say, it will dramaticallychange college sports moving forward. You're listening
(14:18):
to Tim Conway Junior on demand fromKFI AM six forty. Mark Thompson sitting
in Tim on KFI AM six forty. So cool to be here. Love
hanging out with my KFI crew.They are the always making me feel very
at home. And I want tosay a special hello to friends of Brody
(14:41):
Stevens, who is a great comicwho sadly we lost a few years ago.
And Brody Stevens was a brilliant comedianwho was on stage a different animal,
just a terrific kind of triumph ofattitude and funky, funny material.
(15:05):
So he was top of the game, played the Comedy Store, was probably,
if not the hottest warm up comedianin Hollywood, maybe one of but
he was like desired on TV showsto warm up crowds at the Comedy Store,
to be featured on so many keynights with you know, these massive
(15:28):
lineups. You'd see him, BrodyStevens, steven Brody Stevens. Gosh,
I missed that guy, missed hispresence on stage, miss his He was
just a triumphant user of social media. He was one of those guys that
when you saw him, he healmost didn't have to say anything and you
just were laughing. He just hadthat vibe about him and whatever you said,
(15:52):
he'd turn it into something so funny, incredibly smart. Yeah, yeah,
really really clever. I mean,do yourself a favor. Go to
YouTube and just enter Brody Stevens anddo that deep die for a while and
you'll just really enjoy it. SoI really miss his presence. And they
have memorial services every year for him, and I think a charity softball game
(16:18):
in his memory. And so Iwanted to say a happy Birthday to those
who know him and still cherish hismemory and still feed his social media.
And he's remembered very fondly on Instagramand across social media. So well.
Sean did, he Combs did.His apology wasn't really received to effectively.
(16:45):
If the idea was to somehow winpublic sympathy. I don't think he won
much public sympathy. And now CassieVentura is speaking out for the first time
since that footage of her being assaultedin the hotel hallway, since that floated
in and what she is saying isas follows. She is saying, thank
(17:17):
you for all of the love andsupport from my family, friends, strangers,
and those I have yet to meet. She's thirty seven years old.
Cassie Venturi is the outpouring of lovehas created a place for my younger self
to settle and feel safe now,but this is only the beginning. Domestic
violence is the issue. She says. It broke me down to someone I
(17:38):
never thought I would become. Witha lot of hard work, I am
better today, but I will alwaysbe recovering from my past. She says.
I want to thank everyone that's takenthe time to take this matter seriously.
My only ask, she says,is that everyone open your heart to
(18:00):
believing victims the first time. Ittakes a lot of heart to tell the
truth out of a situation that youwere powerless in the The video is brutal,
and you wonder and I was talkingto producer Dana about this very thing.
(18:23):
How you stay with someone like thatFrom seven to twenty eighteen, she
was with him, and Dana wasexplaining to me, well, it's because
of you know, there's drugs involved, and there's a sort of codependency and
it's a complex situation. But she'smoved on, of course, and she
(18:52):
got married, right, didn't casumnur marylist. Yeah, And she has
two daughter Frankie four and Sonny three, so this has to bring up something
for her that is both significant butvery difficult, you know, And this
is probably just the beginning for SeanCombs. I mean, it looks like
(19:18):
a as I was mentioning, hisapology just didn't land. I mean,
if you thought you could apologize yourway out of this, then don't think
you can. And secondly, it'slikely that more allegations are going to come,
and they're already more coming. Infact, some of them are a
little on the risk ay side,so I'm going to pass over them for
this show right now. But verydisturbing situation out of the world of Sean
(19:45):
P. Diddy Combs. California driversdon't need to visit the DMV for certain
things they want you. The DMVdoes to take your business elsewhere, don't
come into our already overwhelmed DMV office. They're stopping in the office service for
(20:07):
a few things. Vehicle registration renewalthat has not passed the due date,
driver's license renewal, it does notrequire an in person visit. Wow,
what a break that is. Ifyou want copies of your vehicle registration records
that show ownership history, you donot need to go to the DMV anymore
in person. If you want copiesof your driver's license records would show a
(20:33):
driver's history, you don't need togo in anymore. And finally, if
you're replacing a lost or stolen driver'slicense or ID card, they're saying,
please don't come in. The stuffcan all get done online. And they're
saying, look, that'll help reducethe wait time for those who are in
(20:56):
the office. Has anyone ever inthis crew and you're listening, have you
ever had to go to the DMVwithout an appointment for some kind of situation
that was, you know, anemergency or unexpected situation. Have you ever
had to in a way crash landparachute in to a DMV situation where you
(21:22):
needed to do it right? Thenand you couldn't get an appointment. You
might have been within a day orwhatever, because I have. And it
is a circle of hell that isoften talked about, but it really is
pretty brutal. It's ours. Butlet me be fair to the DMV people.
(21:44):
They do have a system. It'snot like you just show up and
it's one big crowd and everybody's shovingeach other out of the way. It's
not that they're numbers and you waitand they do something. At the DMV,
I think what the DMV and VanEyes I think. And in Van
Eyes, they give you a numberand there's a line when you first walk
in that's kind of a serpentine line, you know how they make those lines
(22:06):
serpentine, the long ones, andyou're waiting, waiting, waiting. You
get to the front of that lineafter a long wait, and they give
you another number, or like anotherarea with another number, or maybe you
hang out of the same number.I forget. They send you to a
different area, and I think,oh, this is great. I mean,
this wasn't really super bad. Butthat area actually is just a second
(22:27):
holding pen kind of where they thenon a series of television screens they post
your number. Again, it's wellorganized, They're just a lot of people,
and that is where you'll get calledto a third area. Now it's
the third area, as I recall, that really puts you in scoring position,
(22:48):
like you can see now the personwho actually might be able to do
whatever it is that you need done. In my case, I think it
was updating the driver's license. Mightit expired and I was aware of it.
I forget exactly the situation. Idon't remember what it was, but
I knew I couldn't get an appointment. There wasn't enough time. I needed
to do it the next day,and then finally whatever happened happened. It
(23:11):
was a It was literally, Iwant to say, to be fair,
it might've just been three hours,but that's a long time. But you
know, without an appointment, Ithink with an appointment you can scoot right
through. I don't know what thewait times are, but I'm guessing you
could, you know, cut thatdown by fifty percent anyway. Now,
for any number of services, theydon't want you to come in. They
(23:33):
want you to handle transactions on computer. They say here, tablet, phone
or computer, go to the website. Stay away. Also, partner locations
like TRIPLEA offices, self serve,Kiosks, grocery stores. Stay out of
here. That's the message they aresending California drivers. You'll see less of
(23:57):
the DMV in the years ahead.You're listening to Tim Conwayjunire on demand from
KFI AM six forty Mark Thompson herefor Tim Conway Junior. We're live everywhere
on that big iHeartRadio app. I'mjust jamming at iHeart Radio App day and
night at my house. Can't getenough of that iHeart Radio app. Got
(24:18):
your podcast, get your live broadcasts. It's all right there. I come
from a YouTube show. I havenot mentioned it. Just we'll mention it
now. You one mention a showtrying to be very I didn't did Conway
show the other day. I didn'teven mention it once. It's called the
Mark Thompson Show, kind of politicsand news oriented. So I mentioned it
(24:41):
to you. But something else Imentioned has nothing to do with that has
to do with what's happening with FrontierAirlines. And it's not so much at
Frontier, although I will give theguy credit. The CEO of Frontier has
come out and said, hey,this has got to stop. But it's
not just unique to Frontier Airlines.As you will hear the Frontier CEO is
(25:07):
saying, all of you people whoare using the wheelchair service who don't need
a wheelchair, you have to stopasking for wheelchair service. He says,
I'm seeing flights on which twenty peopleare brought to the plane with wheelchairs because
you know, the wheelchair people getto be seated first, right, you
(25:30):
know that thing. If you needhelp boarding the aircraft, please come forward
now and board ahead of everybody else. The twenty people board the plane in
the wheelchairs, but then when theyarrive at their destination, only three people
need wheelchairs. That tells you thatthe wheelchair service is being abused. And
(25:52):
he says, and this is wherethe guy's got a great sense of humor.
He says, we are healing somany people at Frontier people came in
a wheelchair and leave under their ownpower. So the way it works is
there's an air Carrier Access Act.It's back in the eighties they passed this
legislation and that requires airlines to providewheelchair service in effect to passengers with disabilities
(26:18):
at the airport. But there area lot of travelers who are faking it,
and he is saying the CEO ofFrontier Airline is gon named Barry Biffle.
He says, there is massive rampantabuse of special services. There are
people using wheelchair assistants who don't needit at all. He made these comments
(26:38):
at the Wings Club luncheon in NewYork. It just was today, this
is breaking wheelchair service airline news.He was again pretty insistent that this stopped.
And as you might imagine, there'sa reason, and what would the
(27:02):
reason be? Think about it.Why does the CEO of an airline care
how many people are using the wheelchairservice? Because every time somebody asks for
a wheelchair, it costs the airlinemoney. It costs between thirty and thirty
five dollars each time there is awheelchair request. So when you abuse the
(27:26):
service, that costs the airline moneyand it leads to delays for travelers.
He's saying, Hey, everybody whoneeds it, it's welcome to have it,
but if you don't need it,don't use it. So make Kelly
has just passed through the big doorof the studio. He's in the broadcast
(27:48):
chair. Mark Thompson, good evening. I don't understand they're going to charge
thirty five dollars for the wheelchair.Okay, I understand that there's a service
involved, but they're going to stealThe airlines is going to charge me at
least seven tenty five dollars for eachbag I check. It's not like they're
coming out with a loss. No, no, no, no, listen
to this. It's not that they'regoing to charge you. The airline picks
(28:08):
up the tag. But I'm sayingthey're not. They're oh, they're not
losing money a big picture, Okay, yeah, being greedy, they want
all the money. Three wheelchairs oneflight. How many bags did they have
to check that we paid for?Oh? But he's saying, and to
be fair, I kind of seethis just in from a pure fairness standpoint.
(28:30):
He's saying, twenty people get onthe board on you know, on
board ahead, everybody in wheelchairs.When we land, only three people need
wheelchairs to get off the plane.And that's a good argument. I think
you should have kept the argument focusedon that, on that passengers. How
you're you're inconveniencing other passengers because peopleare being selfish. Yes, I'll listen
(28:52):
to that, but you know,the airlines is having to pay thirty five
dollars a wheelch I don't give adamn charging me for peanuts. They're charging
me for for headphones. You knowthat I can't use anywhere other than the
flight. I mean it is forinternet. It is true that there is
a lot of up charging on theplane. Yes, Now when you're on
(29:15):
a you know, I go backto DC and it's so you're cross I
go back there a lot. They'recross country. Do you do that thing
where you're going? Yeah, Idon't think I need the internet. It's
it is twelve dollars or twenty.I think it's twenty dollars. Actually,
yeah, I can't half of theIt has to be a coast to coast
flight for me to pay for theinternet because most of the times now,
(29:37):
depending on your phone, you canstill text, oh can you? Yeah,
you can text via your Wi Fi. Their their Wi Fi. There's
your text messages will slip through ifthey didn't know that. Oh yeah,
oh that's strong. Okay, Butif you want to use the Internet,
then you're going to have to actuallypay for it. And it's it's crappy
to begin with. It's not likeyou can do a lot, but they're
(30:00):
going to charge you to your pointtwelve to twenty dollars for like four hours
use. Yeah, it definitely dependson also the flight, Like in the
plane. Some of the internet isbetter than others, and you don't know
if you're but there is something thatjust kind of rubs me the wrong way
to get charged, as you say, on top of everything else. And
then so I don't want to hearabout you know, wheelchair fees. Get
out of here with that. Whatdo you have besides metro Tonight, No
(30:25):
metro tonighttro free. Yeah, well, no one got stabbed today, knock
on wood. But you know,the night's not over exactly. Airbnb,
they're reaffirming their commitment to no disruptiveparties over Memorial Day weekend or fourth of
July. They've had enough with peoplegetting together and turning their these places into
party houses and just trashing the place. And we're going to get into DJ
(30:49):
suing the breakup Live Nation slash Ticketmaster. That's something we had followed. Yeah,
I mean, it's a monopoly,it's anti trust, it is.
It's just a matter of a hundredhow going to break it up? Yeah,
and they well, look they're facingthe same thing. They're you know,
government seeing Google, government suing Amazon, government sueing Apple. Anyway,
(31:10):
Mo, love you. I'll belistening as well and I look forward to
seeing you tomorrow. Thanks all theConway kids hanging out showing me some love
support. Appreciate it much. Tocontinue with here Moe Kelly's next Conway show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.Now you can always hear us live on
KFI AM six forty four to sevenpm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
(31:33):
demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listeningto the Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. You've got live programmingthrough the weekend here on KFI. And
as I was mentioning, it's goingto be particularly travel heavy, so try
to get you know, to wherewe are going early, is what they're
saying. I mentioned Jim Carrey.It's because it's kind of jumped out.
(00:24):
I guess he's selling his house.One of the things about LA is you
know in the paper, you know, whether you're digital paper, you get
the old school real paper whatever,or you get those small papers like the
Burbank paper. Bar Bank's got apaper, and you know, a lot
of communities have their own little seewhat's happening in your community, Alairmont Courier,
(00:49):
thank you exactly the point, ClairemontCourier. Your community has some publication,
it's a great chance to see what'shappening in your community. And also
for like local businesses too, youknow, mention the people in the community
and some kind of formal ad whatthey're doing. You know, in addition
to advertising like on a place likeKFI, which blasts you into all of
(01:12):
these different communities, and makes peopleaware of your business. You can advertise
in some of the small paper anyway. The point is that floating through all
of the information that you get,particularly if you live in southern California,
is celebrity real estate. It's athing. I mean, there's just more
(01:34):
real estate churning through that has toucheda celebrity. Sometimes it's like twice removed.
You know, it'll be something like, you know, John Appatou used
to own this house like two ownersago. They'll they'll play it like that,
you know, or you know whois just through looking at this house,
(01:57):
right, and then they'll mention somecelebrity anyway. So it's in the
context of being aware of some ofthese celebrity offerings that I caught this.
Jim Carrey is cutting the price ofhis home. He's lived there thirty years.
And if it's the home I'm thinkingof, it's in my old neighborhood.
(02:23):
Michael Krozer, I used to livenear Jim Carrey. And you're probably
saying, Mark, how can youMark Thompson afford to live next to super
wealthy, talented Jim Carrey? Oh? Was he wealthy and talented back then?
When you live there yes, yes, And in fact, he is
(02:45):
so wealthy talented that he purchased theproperty next to his. So he had
two super expensive, expansive properties rightnext to each other, and he turned
them into one big, expensive,expensive property. And you'll be interested to
know that you had to go amile farther to get to my house,
(03:07):
which was in the much cheaper seats, in the same way that you might
pass by, you know, flourseats at an NBA game and you might
wave hello, but then you haveto walk up to the rafters to get
to your seats. That's a littleYou've had numerous celebrities that have lived in
Clairemont over the years. I thinkprobably most famously, the two that I
instantly come to mind are Snoop Dogg. Wow. I don't know if he
(03:31):
still does not, but I keephearing that. You know, he's not
in the LBC And Clara Peller,Oh, she was from the Where's the
Beef? Yeah, that's pretty good. That's actually a really good brag.
I love that artist Millard Sheets,very famous residents, very nice. We
(03:59):
lived when we and our neighborhood burnedand we had to move on the fly.
We moved to Venice. We movedto Venice because I was doing a
radio show out of Westwood One andall this other stuff that was close to
maybe that, and Courtney had hadher work and stuff like that. Anyway,
so Venice is kind of dangerous atthe time. I'm sure they've cleaned
it all up by now, butat the time, Venice is kind of
(04:21):
dangerous. But there was a famousartist who lived across the street, and
his name is John Baldassari. Nowhe's this very famous artist, and he
(04:42):
passed away. I'm speaking haltingly becauseI didn't know how to say this,
but I guess I'll just say hepassed away while we were there. And
they put twenty four hour security aroundthe place, which I guess was filled
with John Baldassari pieces of one sortor another. So for security reasons,
I mean, the place is effectivelya muse of John Baldasari pieces. They
had twenty four hour security there.So all of a sudden we went and
(05:04):
I mean, Venice was really dangerous. We had two guys killed at the
end of our block. Okay,so this is not like just oh,
you're just you know, freaking out, because it's a no, it's a
dangerous neighborhood at least it was.Then again, I'm sure that Venice is
all cleaned up by now. Butanyway, Balassari's security team, they made
(05:25):
us feel safe, right all ofa sudden, You've got somebody watching your
place twenty four hours a day.Was very, very cool. So that
was our little brush with somebody inVenice who was famous. But anyway,
Jim Carrey has been trying to sellhis house and it is a ten eleven
(05:46):
thousand really square foot estate and theyhave reduced the price to twenty two million.
They and that's that's a price reduction. It was on the market for
twenty eight point nine million in Februaryof last year. But they can't find
(06:12):
a buyer and he's marking the propertydown. So this is for the two
lot combined into one property or didwas it split up? Again? This
is a really good question, andit's one that I asked myself as I'm
reading about it. Oh, Ithought you're going to say, as you're
in the market as I am looking, yes, are you going to need
(06:35):
all the money upfront? I mean, is there a way on the money
part? Is there a way wecould work something where maybe i'd pay you.
My wife's always sending me like,hey, look at this house on
the other end of the country.But you got to take off like four
or five zeros from what we're talkingabout. Oh no, I know,
but I mean I do that thingtoo. Look at that as state I
could live in in Texas. Anyway, the reduced asking price, and it's
(07:00):
been reached several times they couldn't finda buyer. It was probably marked on
a twenty seven million about two monthsago, then later cut it a second
time to twenty four million, Andthis week is the breaking news for those
looking to move into Jim Carrey's housetwenty one point nine million, So that's
been discouded seven million from the originalprice. Now to your question, croz
(07:24):
quickly, it's a one story house, five bedrooms, six full baths,
then three half baths. Spacious propertycovers over two acres. It sounds like
you're getting the whole shooting match,getting twice as many bathrooms as rooms.
Features a tennis court, a waterfallpool, of course it does, and
an outdoor tree top platform for yogaand meditation. This is the combined properties
(07:48):
because I know I remember the tenniscourt was on one and it's well,
all I can say chef's kitchen,ample cabinetry. If you're looking for that,
I love it. It didn't havea real problem. Can I ask
you about how ample is the cabinettree? If I could just pick it
two or three? Uh, movietheater all the rest. Any if you're
(08:11):
looking for it, it's Jim Carrey'splace and you can pick it up for
a little north of twenty million dollars. Enjoy. You're listening to Tim Conway
Junior on demand from KFI AM sixforty Mark Thompson and for Tim Conway Junior,
Tim's back on Mondays. Taken acouple of days to celebrate his daughter's
(08:33):
graduation and his anniversary. It's apretty big deal. What's happened in the
NCAA. If you watch college athletics, those athletes you're watching, they are
set to be paid, and bigtime paid. There is a completion of
(08:56):
voting to approve a settle on agreement. It was the result of a lawsuit.
That's what happens. Oftentimes that's whena settlement agreement is needed. That
paves the way for universities to payathletes directly. So forget about amateurism in
major college sports. The athletes aregoing to get money, and they were
(09:20):
saying, look, you guys aremaking all this money off of my likeness.
You're selling jerseys with my name,my number. I want some of
that money. They are three antitrust cases that were part of this agreement,
almost two point eight billion dollars indamages. That money is going to
(09:41):
be distributed to athletes that are playingnow and former athletes. They sued in
this case for not being compensated forthe use of their name, image and
likeness. They use this stuff again, name, image and likeness. They
argued on television bro in other words, you're broadcasting and you're showing me I'm
(10:05):
a star athlete, and I'm notmaking any money on this television event.
The network's making money, the school'smaking money, but I'm not making any
money and I'm the product. Thebig news out of this agreement is this
new revenue sharing model that will payathletes a cut of the money that their
(10:26):
schools generate from broadcast rights deals andalso from ticket sales and sponsorships. So
if this goes through, revenue sharingprobably would start at the beginning of the
twenty twenty five twenty six academic year. Again, this has to settle out,
(10:48):
but current athletes would have a chanceto object or opt out of the
agreement. They say, then asa final step, there will be an
estimate as to exactly how much willbe paid out. And the NCAA Board
of Governors voted to implement these settlementterms, and in so doing with that
(11:13):
vote, these are significant cases thatare going to pay out significance, significant
amounts of money. I mean twopoint eight billion in damages owed to the
former athletes who sued, and that'sjust a part of the money. Part
of the money you will go tothe former athletes, and part of the
money will go to the current athletes, and it'll establish a model for how
(11:41):
they'll play and how they'll be compensatedfor playing. And that's just going to
change the whole dynamic on the courtand on the field. But it was
inevitable. I mean, there's justso much money in the broadcast rights to
live sports. It had to change. So the way it'll work, at
(12:03):
least the way it's proposed is thatthe Big ten, the Big twelve,
SEC, NCAA, all of thesevoted, and the power conferences are going
to pay forty percent of the damagesowed from these schools. Pretty wild college
(12:24):
sports, and you know, I'veheard Petros talk about this before. College
sports really offered you a chance ata free education, and if you took
it, it was a great opportunity. But there was sort of a inherent
unfairness, right, I mean,they're making all this money. Why does
the football coach at the university makeall that money, makes more than the
(12:48):
dean makes, more than the presidentmakes, more than most of the professors
put together. Because that football teambrings in more in terms of the endowment
and the revenue that goes into theuniversity or college then does any other department
head or official at the university.So that coach who feels that winning team
(13:15):
that brings in alumni dollars, etcetera. So that's why the coach walks
around like he owns the place,because honestly, he does own the place.
So this was inevitable. Too muchmoney on the table, too many
people being left out. And youknow, whether it's right or not,
(13:35):
it seems right for those athletes toget something, But it does certainly change
the amateur model of watching players whoare legitimate collegians you know legitimately enrolled in
polypside class on Monday that now hasYeah, they've got pollyside class on Monday,
(13:58):
but they are millionaires, many ofthem. It definitely changes and will
continue to change the dynamic on campus. So that's pretty big breaking news and
as I say, it will dramaticallychange college sports moving forward. You're listening
(14:18):
to Tim Conway Junior on demand fromKFI AM six forty. Mark Thompson sitting
in Tim on KFI AM six forty. So cool to be here. Love
hanging out with my KFI crew.They are the always making me feel very
at home. And I want tosay a special hello to friends of Brody
(14:41):
Stevens, who is a great comicwho sadly we lost a few years ago.
And Brody Stevens was a brilliant comedianwho was on stage a different animal,
just a terrific kind of triumph ofattitude and funky, funny material.
(15:05):
So he was top of the game, played the Comedy Store, was probably,
if not the hottest warm up comedianin Hollywood, maybe one of but
he was like desired on TV showsto warm up crowds at the Comedy Store,
to be featured on so many keynights with you know, these massive
(15:28):
lineups. You'd see him, BrodyStevens, steven Brody Stevens. Gosh,
I missed that guy, missed hispresence on stage, miss his He was
just a triumphant user of social media. He was one of those guys that
when you saw him, he healmost didn't have to say anything and you
just were laughing. He just hadthat vibe about him and whatever you said,
(15:52):
he'd turn it into something so funny, incredibly smart. Yeah, yeah,
really really clever. I mean,do yourself a favor. Go to
YouTube and just enter Brody Stevens anddo that deep die for a while and
you'll just really enjoy it. SoI really miss his presence. And they
have memorial services every year for him, and I think a charity softball game
(16:18):
in his memory. And so Iwanted to say a happy Birthday to those
who know him and still cherish hismemory and still feed his social media.
And he's remembered very fondly on Instagramand across social media. So well.
Sean did, he Combs did.His apology wasn't really received to effectively.
(16:45):
If the idea was to somehow winpublic sympathy. I don't think he won
much public sympathy. And now CassieVentura is speaking out for the first time
since that footage of her being assaultedin the hotel hallway, since that floated
in and what she is saying isas follows. She is saying, thank
(17:17):
you for all of the love andsupport from my family, friends, strangers,
and those I have yet to meet. She's thirty seven years old.
Cassie Venturi is the outpouring of lovehas created a place for my younger self
to settle and feel safe now,but this is only the beginning. Domestic
violence is the issue. She says. It broke me down to someone I
(17:38):
never thought I would become. Witha lot of hard work, I am
better today, but I will alwaysbe recovering from my past. She says.
I want to thank everyone that's takenthe time to take this matter seriously.
My only ask, she says,is that everyone open your heart to
(18:00):
believing victims the first time. Ittakes a lot of heart to tell the
truth out of a situation that youwere powerless in the The video is brutal,
and you wonder and I was talkingto producer Dana about this very thing.
(18:23):
How you stay with someone like thatFrom seven to twenty eighteen, she
was with him, and Dana wasexplaining to me, well, it's because
of you know, there's drugs involved, and there's a sort of codependency and
it's a complex situation. But she'smoved on, of course, and she
(18:52):
got married, right, didn't casumnur marylist. Yeah, And she has
two daughter Frankie four and Sonny three, so this has to bring up something
for her that is both significant butvery difficult, you know, And this
is probably just the beginning for SeanCombs. I mean, it looks like
(19:18):
a as I was mentioning, hisapology just didn't land. I mean,
if you thought you could apologize yourway out of this, then don't think
you can. And secondly, it'slikely that more allegations are going to come,
and they're already more coming. Infact, some of them are a
little on the risk ay side,so I'm going to pass over them for
this show right now. But verydisturbing situation out of the world of Sean
(19:45):
P. Diddy Combs. California driversdon't need to visit the DMV for certain
things they want you. The DMVdoes to take your business elsewhere, don't
come into our already overwhelmed DMV office. They're stopping in the office service for
(20:07):
a few things. Vehicle registration renewalthat has not passed the due date,
driver's license renewal, it does notrequire an in person visit. Wow,
what a break that is. Ifyou want copies of your vehicle registration records
that show ownership history, you donot need to go to the DMV anymore
in person. If you want copiesof your driver's license records would show a
(20:33):
driver's history, you don't need togo in anymore. And finally, if
you're replacing a lost or stolen driver'slicense or ID card, they're saying,
please don't come in. The stuffcan all get done online. And they're
saying, look, that'll help reducethe wait time for those who are in
(20:56):
the office. Has anyone ever inthis crew and you're listening, have you
ever had to go to the DMVwithout an appointment for some kind of situation
that was, you know, anemergency or unexpected situation. Have you ever
had to in a way crash landparachute in to a DMV situation where you
(21:22):
needed to do it right? Thenand you couldn't get an appointment. You
might have been within a day orwhatever, because I have. And it
is a circle of hell that isoften talked about, but it really is
pretty brutal. It's ours. Butlet me be fair to the DMV people.
(21:44):
They do have a system. It'snot like you just show up and
it's one big crowd and everybody's shovingeach other out of the way. It's
not that they're numbers and you waitand they do something. At the DMV,
I think what the DMV and VanEyes I think. And in Van
Eyes, they give you a numberand there's a line when you first walk
in that's kind of a serpentine line, you know how they make those lines
(22:06):
serpentine, the long ones, andyou're waiting, waiting, waiting. You
get to the front of that lineafter a long wait, and they give
you another number, or like anotherarea with another number, or maybe you
hang out of the same number.I forget. They send you to a
different area, and I think,oh, this is great. I mean,
this wasn't really super bad. Butthat area actually is just a second
(22:27):
holding pen kind of where they thenon a series of television screens they post
your number. Again, it's wellorganized, They're just a lot of people,
and that is where you'll get calledto a third area. Now it's
the third area, as I recall, that really puts you in scoring position,
(22:48):
like you can see now the personwho actually might be able to do
whatever it is that you need done. In my case, I think it
was updating the driver's license. Mightit expired and I was aware of it.
I forget exactly the situation. Idon't remember what it was, but
I knew I couldn't get an appointment. There wasn't enough time. I needed
to do it the next day,and then finally whatever happened happened. It
(23:11):
was a It was literally, Iwant to say, to be fair,
it might've just been three hours,but that's a long time. But you
know, without an appointment, Ithink with an appointment you can scoot right
through. I don't know what thewait times are, but I'm guessing you
could, you know, cut thatdown by fifty percent anyway. Now,
for any number of services, theydon't want you to come in. They
(23:33):
want you to handle transactions on computer. They say here, tablet, phone
or computer, go to the website. Stay away. Also, partner locations
like TRIPLEA offices, self serve,Kiosks, grocery stores. Stay out of
here. That's the message they aresending California drivers. You'll see less of
(23:57):
the DMV in the years ahead.You're listening to Tim Conwayjunire on demand from
KFI AM six forty Mark Thompson herefor Tim Conway Junior. We're live everywhere
on that big iHeartRadio app. I'mjust jamming at iHeart Radio App day and
night at my house. Can't getenough of that iHeart Radio app. Got
(24:18):
your podcast, get your live broadcasts. It's all right there. I come
from a YouTube show. I havenot mentioned it. Just we'll mention it
now. You one mention a showtrying to be very I didn't did Conway
show the other day. I didn'teven mention it once. It's called the
Mark Thompson Show, kind of politicsand news oriented. So I mentioned it
(24:41):
to you. But something else Imentioned has nothing to do with that has
to do with what's happening with FrontierAirlines. And it's not so much at
Frontier, although I will give theguy credit. The CEO of Frontier has
come out and said, hey,this has got to stop. But it's
not just unique to Frontier Airlines.As you will hear the Frontier CEO is
(25:07):
saying, all of you people whoare using the wheelchair service who don't need
a wheelchair, you have to stopasking for wheelchair service. He says,
I'm seeing flights on which twenty peopleare brought to the plane with wheelchairs because
you know, the wheelchair people getto be seated first, right, you
(25:30):
know that thing. If you needhelp boarding the aircraft, please come forward
now and board ahead of everybody else. The twenty people board the plane in
the wheelchairs, but then when theyarrive at their destination, only three people
need wheelchairs. That tells you thatthe wheelchair service is being abused. And
(25:52):
he says, and this is wherethe guy's got a great sense of humor.
He says, we are healing somany people at Frontier people came in
a wheelchair and leave under their ownpower. So the way it works is
there's an air Carrier Access Act.It's back in the eighties they passed this
legislation and that requires airlines to providewheelchair service in effect to passengers with disabilities
(26:18):
at the airport. But there area lot of travelers who are faking it,
and he is saying the CEO ofFrontier Airline is gon named Barry Biffle.
He says, there is massive rampantabuse of special services. There are
people using wheelchair assistants who don't needit at all. He made these comments
(26:38):
at the Wings Club luncheon in NewYork. It just was today, this
is breaking wheelchair service airline news.He was again pretty insistent that this stopped.
And as you might imagine, there'sa reason, and what would the
(27:02):
reason be? Think about it.Why does the CEO of an airline care
how many people are using the wheelchairservice? Because every time somebody asks for
a wheelchair, it costs the airlinemoney. It costs between thirty and thirty
five dollars each time there is awheelchair request. So when you abuse the
(27:26):
service, that costs the airline moneyand it leads to delays for travelers.
He's saying, Hey, everybody whoneeds it, it's welcome to have it,
but if you don't need it,don't use it. So make Kelly
has just passed through the big doorof the studio. He's in the broadcast
(27:48):
chair. Mark Thompson, good evening. I don't understand they're going to charge
thirty five dollars for the wheelchair.Okay, I understand that there's a service
involved, but they're going to stealThe airlines is going to charge me at
least seven tenty five dollars for eachbag I check. It's not like they're
coming out with a loss. No, no, no, no, listen
to this. It's not that they'regoing to charge you. The airline picks
(28:08):
up the tag. But I'm sayingthey're not. They're oh, they're not
losing money a big picture, Okay, yeah, being greedy, they want
all the money. Three wheelchairs oneflight. How many bags did they have
to check that we paid for?Oh? But he's saying, and to
be fair, I kind of seethis just in from a pure fairness standpoint.
(28:30):
He's saying, twenty people get onthe board on you know, on
board ahead, everybody in wheelchairs.When we land, only three people need
wheelchairs to get off the plane.And that's a good argument. I think
you should have kept the argument focusedon that, on that passengers. How
you're you're inconveniencing other passengers because peopleare being selfish. Yes, I'll listen
(28:52):
to that, but you know,the airlines is having to pay thirty five
dollars a wheelch I don't give adamn charging me for peanuts. They're charging
me for for headphones. You knowthat I can't use anywhere other than the
flight. I mean it is forinternet. It is true that there is
a lot of up charging on theplane. Yes, Now when you're on
(29:15):
a you know, I go backto DC and it's so you're cross I
go back there a lot. They'recross country. Do you do that thing
where you're going? Yeah, Idon't think I need the internet. It's
it is twelve dollars or twenty.I think it's twenty dollars. Actually,
yeah, I can't half of theIt has to be a coast to coast
flight for me to pay for theinternet because most of the times now,
(29:37):
depending on your phone, you canstill text, oh can you? Yeah,
you can text via your Wi Fi. Their their Wi Fi. There's
your text messages will slip through ifthey didn't know that. Oh yeah,
oh that's strong. Okay, Butif you want to use the Internet,
then you're going to have to actuallypay for it. And it's it's crappy
to begin with. It's not likeyou can do a lot, but they're
(30:00):
going to charge you to your pointtwelve to twenty dollars for like four hours
use. Yeah, it definitely dependson also the flight, Like in the
plane. Some of the internet isbetter than others, and you don't know
if you're but there is something thatjust kind of rubs me the wrong way
to get charged, as you say, on top of everything else. And
then so I don't want to hearabout you know, wheelchair fees. Get
out of here with that. Whatdo you have besides metro Tonight, No
(30:25):
metro tonighttro free. Yeah, well, no one got stabbed today, knock
on wood. But you know,the night's not over exactly. Airbnb,
they're reaffirming their commitment to no disruptiveparties over Memorial Day weekend or fourth of
July. They've had enough with peoplegetting together and turning their these places into
party houses and just trashing the place. And we're going to get into DJ
(30:49):
suing the breakup Live Nation slash Ticketmaster. That's something we had followed. Yeah,
I mean, it's a monopoly,it's anti trust, it is.
It's just a matter of a hundredhow going to break it up? Yeah,
and they well, look they're facingthe same thing. They're you know,
government seeing Google, government suing Amazon, government sueing Apple. Anyway,
(31:10):
Mo, love you. I'll belistening as well and I look forward to
seeing you tomorrow. Thanks all theConway kids hanging out showing me some love
support. Appreciate it much. Tocontinue with here Moe Kelly's next Conway show
