It's KFI AM six forty and you'relistening to The Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Mark Thompson herefor Tim Conway Junior's d Day. Of
course, I know many have seenall the commemorations of this day eighty years
ago that the Allies stormed Normandy Beach. Women were involved, by the way,
(00:24):
yeah, more than three hundred andfifty thousand American women were involved with
the armed forces during World War Two. It's of course army and Navy nurses
for decades, but World War Twoled to a bunch of other areas that
women were active. They were inthe Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
(00:44):
the Coast Guard, and in nineteenforty two there was an auxiliary Corps created
by Congress and it was populated bywomen. And it was just one of
the many institutions within the military thatwomen were part of. The Coast Guard
(01:07):
established a women's unit known as theSpars, and women aviators flew with the
Women Air Force Service pilots that unitbeginning in nineteen forty three. I mean,
we're so far away from the WorldWar II configuration of the world and
the sense of well, frankly thesense of intense patriotism and stepping up to
(01:37):
the task that many felt the youknow, of fighting back fascism and the
despots of well, the rising despotsin Europe. We're so far away from
that. I mean, the decadeshave sort of washed away a lot of
the feeling that many had then wantingto be part of the war effort,
(02:00):
is my point. So many servicewomen got recognition and respect during the war,
but there was still that gender discriminationfrom the public and from male college.
It was a male dominated scene.Here's a little something on women being
honored on D Day for their rolein the armed services in World War Two.
(02:21):
And it was and they did thesewomen just teenagers when they put their
dreams on hold to do their partfor their country. You wanted to be
doing something in that a law todo that. One hundred year old Marjorie
Stone from Amherst, Massachusetts, isone of sixty eight World War two veterans,
(02:43):
three of them women, being honoredthis week in Normandy at the eightieth
anniversary of D Day. World Wartwo marked the first time in American history
all branches of the US military allowedwomen to enlist, and more than three
hundred and fifty thousand answered the call. I mean it really was a feeling
of all hands on deck, youknow, and that's what everyone felt.
(03:06):
They wanted to be part of thewar effort. And so it's in that
context that women stepped up in allthe ways that they were able to.
I feel like we started something.There were no women in it at that
point, and we started it andlooked where the women are now, ye
know. So we started something andthen there were the rosies Jesai in history
(03:31):
working with Vit Boding. May Iask how old you are? I am
ninety nine years old. Years young? Four years you were a rosie?
Yes, well, once a rosie, always a rosie. Yeah. Connie
(03:51):
Palazio became a riveter on Best seventeen'sShe was just eighteen years old, the
same age that Genie Gibson was whenshe became Why was it so important for
you to make this journey now?No? Oh, I'm running out of
time. At ninety eight years old, Gibson left college to work as a
(04:12):
welder in a shipyard in Seattle,Rebil already trained an our new defense program.
One of six million Americans you puttheir lives on hold to take jobs
essential to the war effort, likebuilding warplanes and battleships. I mean,
it was crazy. Everybody was involvedin that war effort. You know,
it's a much different time now,and as we look back on it,
(04:35):
I'm sure there is a there's apart of this it's just hard to relate
to. But you have the senseof service and the calling that people felt.
You have that reflected in all ofthese different stories of the women who
stepped up, the underage guys.I mean, you had people wanting to
(04:57):
go into the military who are sixteen, fifteen years old, they could
pass for eighteen. And you hadmany you know on Normandy Beach who was
seventeen years old. And it's asad fact but many of them have passed
away or really are at the endof their run. But what a wonderful
(05:23):
way to honor their memories, youknow, on d Day on this eightieth
anniversary. And I don't know,I think these commemorations and I've never been
to Normandy, but apparently it istranscendental when you go. And Conway's talked
(05:43):
to me about it. He said, you've got to go, You've got
to experience it. Just a powerfulmemory that is in a way brought to
life in a manner you just can'tfind in any sort of movie or book
you're going to read about it,but all the details of the Allied landing
(06:09):
and depict it in I mean PrivateRyan apparently the beginning of Private Ryan.
When you see the Normandy invasion fromthat perspective, is so realistic that many
involved in the Normandy invasion couldn't watchit or left the theaters after seeing it,
(06:30):
and they found it so powerfully emotional. So on this d Day we
recognize all of those who serve thiscountry and beat back the fascism and despotism
of Europe and beyond the Asia theateras well, and also the women who
(06:53):
made all of these different contributions inthe ways that they were able. It
was really all hands on in thiscountry. And so June sixth, nineteen
forty four, the liberation of thecontinent from the Nazis began for this country.
So just as we close the dayout, it's worth, you know,
(07:17):
tipping our cap to all of thosepeople. I have a very confused
relationship with our next guest. He'sa regular here at KFI. He's a
I would say, a cornerstone.Now of KFI. Confused relationship. Yeah,
(07:41):
it's confused. It's a really confusedrelationships. Yeah. I think Sharon
might understand it. I don't knowif I should mention it now because he's
not listening. Probably right, he'slistening. Oh you think he is warning
morning? Yeah? Maybe I don't. I think he's listening. Well,
(08:03):
okay, I mean is it badthat I I mean, you know,
I'm confused, and I think youshould. You should like get this out
discussion, discussion with him. It'sthe subject. Yeah, you should talk
to him about it easier too,all right? Radio magic? All right?
I will Dean Sharp joins us next, and I will share my deeply
(08:26):
confused psychological issue with Dean Sharp.When God, when we come back,
you're listening to Tim Conway Son.You're on demand from KF. I am
six forty. There is a guy, And I'll tell you why it's a
confusing relationship that I have psychologically withDean Sharp, because on paper, I
(08:52):
should not like Dean Sharp. Heis I don't know if you've seen him.
He's handsome, Okay, he's hall. He knows all the stuff that
a real guy should know. Ikind of build a house the different kind
of stuff you need, the toolshe's you know, he's a real guy
(09:13):
that way, and I'm not Ishould be so jealous of him that it
blunts my ability to like him.And yet I really like him, and
I look forward to his segments eventhough. And in my family, by
the way, my brother worships him. So you can see how it's confusing
(09:37):
for me with that sad and mightsay pathetic even reflection on my own deficiencies.
I welcome him in now, thegreat Dean Sharp. Everybody, Hi,
Dean Hoboo. Somebody needs a hug. Yeah, it's true, it's
true. Right, I feel inadequatestanding next to you, but fortunately I'm
(09:58):
not really standing next to you.You are beaming in and you are talking
about a remodel. I love this. We all want to do it,
but there's stuff that we need todo before we do it. Yeah,
there are. You know, here'sthe thing about remodels. They're usually the
(10:18):
thing you have saved up for,you've taken out a loan. You know,
you're biting your nails about it becausethere are a lot of money a
major remodel. And I run intofolks constantly who have pushed through you know
they've done their best, but wehave seen Tina and I so many instances
(10:39):
where we end up asking questions afterthe fact of somebody and they're like,
oh my gosh, I wish youhad been here to tell me about this
before we got started. So thisweekend I'm angling the show. This weekend,
very special couple of shows. It'sreally just about this. It's about
things that you're not thinking about forthe remodel. But death least should be
(11:01):
the best tips that I can giveyou, not how to do the whole
thing, but the kind of stuffthat you really you need to take notes
on to make sure that these thingsdon't fall through the CRACKSK what is like
one of the bigger problems or mistakesthat people make or one of the things
that's left out oftentimes of the planning. Okay, so here here's maybe two
(11:22):
of the biggest things right now.Contractors are not building designers. Okay,
Contractors are not architects. They're notdesigners. Now, contractors have experience with
stuff, and they'll give you theiropinion about things, but you just need
to know that contractors are not designers. That's not their primary job description.
Electricians are not lighting designers. Plumbersare not bathroom designers all right. Landscapers
(11:48):
are not landscape designers. So Isay this, and I don't do it
to feather my bed because I amboth a builder and a designer. But
just the reality out there, don'ttake all of your designed advice from your
builders, because that's really not youknow, they know what they know,
and they're hopefully experts at installing andcreating the things that other people have designed
(12:13):
to go into your remodel. Butplease don't design your remodel by contractor.
It is a really big MISSI Isee why we do, though, ask
the electrician about the lighting, theplumber about the fixtures, and the contractor
about the design. I see why, and I know you see why also
because to us, they're like theranking officers on deck, you know.
(12:37):
Oh yeah, they pray all that, you know. So it's a it's
kind of a default position, likethe what do you think we should do?
No, I think it's a it'sa it's a fundamental gap in our
culture actually when it comes to homedesign and that kind of stuff. You
know, I say it all thetime. On the high end, the
state level, where we spend alot of time designing home. This is
(13:00):
a given. You know. Let'ssay you got somebody sitting in a multimillion
dollar property and they decide, youknow, we're gonna make a change to
the house. They pick up thephone and they call their designer, they
call their architect, their deck orwhoever they call a creative, they call
a storyteller first, and then oncethey get that all figured out, then
(13:22):
you call in the contractors. Thatis the standard operating procedure on the high
end, but that has not stillto this day, made it down to
the mainstream. We we have beenprogrammed that, hey, you're going to
redo your kitchen, call a kitchencontractor. They'll help you figure it out.
(13:43):
And so the very first call thatwe make is to an actual builder,
not to a design team. We'vebeen led to think that designers are
going to blow your budget, thatthey're gonna that they're somehow a superfluous part
of the process that rich people fiddlearound with regular people bypass. But I'm
here to tell you right now,if you want to maximize your budget you
(14:07):
get the most bang for your buck, you need a design team to make
sure that every dollar is being spentto maximum impact. And so that's where
that comes from. You make areally good point about the design team.
A good design team can save youmoney. But it is also true that
a lot of design dollars go outand sometimes you just that bust the budget,
(14:28):
you know what I mean. Itreally is weird how you know you're
paying an hourly for the design teamand before you know, it's like,
oh my god, I just don'tknow what to do. You both need
them, and yet oftentimes it's hardto build in that extra money. No,
I know, and I get it. I get it, and I
get that argument as well. Iget that concern. But you know what,
mark the same The exact same thingcan be said of contractors. You
(14:50):
know, there are contractors that aregoing to waste your money. There are
contractors who are not worth hiring.Of course, there are designers not worth
hiring. Of course there are.But it is impingent upon the person who
has taken their remodel and their modeldollars seriously to find the right designers get
involved and push it forward to maximizewhat's going on. So that's you know,
(15:13):
that's one thing, And then Iwould say the other thing that is
really really important, and this isa contractor relation kind of thing. I
am so sick and tired of hearingthis after the fact it can't be done.
Is never never an acceptable answer fromyour contractor. Okay, never an
acceptable answer. I mean, thefact of the matter is I again,
(15:35):
I come from a world in whichit's a given. Of course it can
be done. Anything can be done, Okay, these days, anything you
ask for can be done. It'sjust a matter of how complex it is,
is it worth cutting that size ofa check for and will it really
help in the end. But myconcern is that very simple, very reasonable
requests sometimes come out on the partof homeowner saying, oh, you know,
(16:00):
could could this happen to my No? No, no, that can't
be done. And what we're hearingis not that it's not possible. We're
hearing a contractor saying I don't wantto take the time to do that.
You're messing up my place. Ilike that. You give me the straight
scoop. You get more from DeanSharp. It's Saturday six to eight in
the morning, and then Sunday it'snine to noon. Right, that's right,
(16:22):
that's right. I love it,man, you really, uh,
you've got the facts and we loveit, love the inside. And you
know where we are in my house. My brother worships at the Church of
Dean Shark So and he's he's justbought a house in Texas and so he's
redoing it and he and he likejots down everything you say. So,
uh so, bring your a gamealways. I'm doing my best. And
(16:47):
and we're not charging any money,so you know, I won't tell him
that. You know, he needsto get his money back. We'll do
our best. Dean Sharp. Everybody, thanks Deane, appreciate that. And
by the way, Dean is broughtto you on the Conway's show by one
Day Treatment Life changing Results. That'sright, make your appointment for the people
that Advanced Hair Advanced Hair dot com. Wow, pretty cool. When we
(17:17):
come back, Sharon, what we'redoing something special when we come back,
aren't we? Are we so justleft? Well, I guess she'll hear
it on her ride home. Areyou going to be special? It will
be special. You're listening to TimConway Junior on demand from kf I Am
six forty. You have Mark Thompsonhere sad for Tim Conway Jr. He's
(17:41):
Michael Krazer dream I liked it.Crows grooves out to blend the babies grooves
to it. You know, hey, I got a question for you,
Yes, sir, so, Iwas reading this article about this uh Marubo
tribe, this Rubo tribe that's thatthat got the Internet. They're like in
the middle of the yea. They'rean indigenous village in the in the Amazon.
(18:03):
Yes, right, they like don'tdo like anything or anybody, but
they got the Internet like nine monthsago thanks to Elon Musk's starlink. That's
right. And apparently since then they'vebecome like completely addicted. This two thousand
member tribe has become addicted to pornand social media. It is true.
This is what Krozer's talking about.Is absolutely true. So I have a
question, Yes, sir, haveyou noticed a bump on your YouTube page?
(18:26):
They have not. They have notdiscovered the Mark Thompson Show on YouTube
yet. It's a lot of newsand politics that they may not like,
although there's some offbeat lifestyle stuff thatthey might groove on. You don't show
any skin, No, I'm not. The porny part of the entire project.
They're not going to be happy with. But you got look then,
you got to get on the Maruborating people. You're right, go get
(18:48):
you gotta get that listener crowd.The Marubos that Krozer's talking about, while
not yet on the Mark Thompson Show, which is on YouTube. You should
subscribe for free if you have interestin news and politics and stuff. But
I know it's a free thing.But thank you for mentioning it. But
it has not yet made the agendaitems associated with the Marubo tribe. Now,
(19:11):
the Marubo tribe, as many ofyou may have heard, they were
completely isolated and as Krozer said thatthey just were a hunter gatherer tribe.
They would go out. It wouldtake they're so remote weeks to reach them,
to get into the part of theAmazon rainforest where they actually are set
(19:33):
up. But it is also truethat they got a benefactor of somebody in
this country in Oklahoma actually is awoman. And she's this insanely accomplished woman
who picked up the cause of gettingthe Marubo tribe the internet, getting them
this startlink, and she underwrote it. I mean she paid to get Starlink
(20:00):
and the Elon Musk service into theMarubo tribe. Man talk about a short
sighted idea. This is a personwho has no concept of all major technology
and the advances that have taken placein the last well. Ever, usually
the first thing that takes place isthere's some sort of porn element that makes
(20:22):
it jump. It is true thatwe now are dealing with all of these
issues related to social media and technology, but somehow we can't wait to bring
social media and technology to these remoteareas of the world that don't have these
issues that we have with those things. And we're not satisfied corrupting ourselves,
(20:44):
right, you have to spread thecorruption, she is quick to point out,
because clearly the experiment has gone horriblywrong. I mean, the tribe
has given up a lot of thehunter gatherer stuff. They are sitting around
most of them. You can't getthem off their phones. And this is
a tribe apparently that was like allalmost all but celibate, like they even
like apparently they frowned upon kissing inpublic. So they've gone way in the
(21:08):
other direction. Yeah, and it'snot just a porn I mean even the
ugly sort of first person shooter games. I say ugly meaning you know,
it's led to some ugly situations.They can't get them off of that either,
so they're really getting you know,in the world of the web and
the internet. It's not like they'reon Shopify. They're on stuff that really
(21:33):
floats their boat right away. Youknow. All these years we always talk
about how there are these remote tribesthat have no basic human contact outside of
themselves, and we always talk aboutpreserving them or at least leaving them untouched,
to be who they are and notscrew with their cultural identity and all
that stuff. And this is whatwe end up doing. Yeah, we
(21:55):
can't leave anything alone. And whatthey've done because it's so bad. You
know, again, this is ahunter gatherer society, so if you don't
hunt, fish and plant, youdon't eat. And what they've done is
they've switched off the Internet for largeportions of the day. So, I
mean, these are the tribal leaderswho got together and said we got to
do something about this. They literallyturn off the internet and it's only on
(22:18):
two hours in the morning, fivehours in the evening, and all day
Sunday, and during that time tonsof these Marubo tribespeople are crouched over or
reclined in hammocks on their phones andthey're on WhatsApp. Also they're on they
(22:38):
are like at the all you caneat buffet of the Internet. So I'd
really big curious because you know,we always see these these maps come out
of like the United States, andeach state represents what the biggest search is
on these searching social media are porn? I would be really fascinated to what
(22:59):
their search. Yeah, well itapparently is porn centric and and game centric.
How did they learn to use thisstuff so quickly? There's some stuff
I don't even know how to usethat they're using. Yeah, I mean
I think there was a a lotof this stuff is pretty intuitive, you
know, but I mean even Marubotribes would know how to do it.
(23:26):
That's more of afflectionive you if youwere a guy, you'd understand how to
do the porn. Believe that,well, good luck to the Marubos.
We expect to see you in somekind of like you know, addiction resistance
class soon. I mean, thepushing away from the Internet and pushing away
from that world is pretty tough.But the other aspect of that realize is
(23:51):
that if it's the Internet, itworks both ways. And are are they
or have they or will they startputting out their own product. Oh yeah,
Oh that's a great moral video.Yeah, like, if the Baldwin's
going to have a reality show,why can't they and they know they can
turn it into something exactly. Youshould send them some Mark merch. Yeah,
(24:12):
I should. I should get themout. Crozier may have a great
idea. Get them on board theMark Thompson Show. At least get them
at least get them some merch.So it shows up. Yeah in some
of their videos. One of ourmart Amazon throw pillows there in the h
Yeah, they're I don't know ifthe Amazon. I don't think Amazon delivers
(24:34):
to the Amazon, right, butthat's a good question. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, apparently one of the shamanin the Marubo tribe, and I
see we have to take a break. But just to quickly note, they
that shaman apparently had visions of ahandheld device that could connect the entire world.
This is decades ago. This shamanhad this vision and this is a
(24:56):
quote. It would be good forthe good of the but in the end
it wouldn't be. In the end, there would be war. That was
from a Marubo shaman decades ago.Wow, pretty heavy, Now, good
luck Marubos. It's worth ten hilldevice are you talking about? Thank you,
(25:17):
Thank you. Michael Krazer, Pleaseall emails to Krozer. You're listening
to Tim Conway Junior on demand fromKF I am six forty. It is
hot inland. Coastal areas won't bequite as bad. That's the word for
the next couple of days. Butreally hot inland where Tim is it is,
uh, super hot. I thinkit. What was it one?
(25:41):
What did he tell you? Itwas like one hundred and five or something
in Parker, Parker, Arizona.That's how where he is. Yes,
yeah, there is a question Ihave for you, Michael Krozer and assembled
kids of the Conway crew. Itrelates to fast food. I'll start with
(26:02):
the general. This is a questionrelated to the different states in America and
how many fast food restaurants are invarious states. But before I get to
this, one percentage jumps out atme, and I'm curious if you can
guess it. What percentage of USadults eat fast food on any given day.
(26:30):
Let's whip it for the question,what percentage of US adults eat fast
food on any given day. We'llstart with you Michael Krozer. Okay,
eighty percent is not correct, butit's a fine guess, is it?
Because you laugh like it wasn't?Yeah, because it's not really Actually,
(26:53):
I just said fine. Guests foretother things about it that we're fine,
but the actual accuracy of the guesswas a fine. Wait a bit,
you're only allowed one to guess.The bylaws of the show sadly only allow
you one guess? Uh, steffushwhat percentage of US adults eat fast food
on any given day? I'll sayseventy? No, you thought Krazer was
(27:19):
just five percent off? I yeah, Okay, Sharon? Who else is
available for Lindsay Linz? What doyou think? What percentage of US adults
eat fast food on any given day? I'm gonna go with sixty percent.
Sixty percent. Very good guess.Not accurate, but a good guess.
Nonetheless, Sharon, do you knowthe answer? I think you might.
(27:41):
No, I don't know the answer? This one all right? Fifty eight
percent? Fifty eight percent? Andis that everybody we've Angel here is the
birthday Angeel the girl party took off? Yeah, I don't clamber. Yeah,
the answer what percentage of US adultseat eat fast food on any given
day. The answer is thirty sevenpercent were on the second guess. You
(28:06):
are right, second guess is notpermitted. First you go off the charts
with that eighty percent. It doesseem like a lot of people eat fast
food. But it's good to knowthat people are eating at home. I
think Steph was probably making up alarge percentage of that. It's what we
see on the other people's behalf.Yes, like price thick the food,
like the prices. So apparently,a new report shows that the most fast
(28:34):
food restaurants exist in the following states. Now, this list is the you'd
think you mean per population per onehundred thousand, Yeah, thank you,
most the most fast food locations perone hundred thousand people in the state.
(28:57):
What state? You got a whip? All right, whipping one last time?
What state has the most fast foodlocations per one hundred thousand people in
the state. We'll start with youagain, Michael Krazer. I'll go Alabama.
(29:19):
Alabama not in the top ten,sir, I'll go with you now.
Lynz Lindsay, I'm gonna guess Indiana. Indiana is in the top ten,
but it is number six, Sothere is no winner of actually awarded.
How about Eustafush I'll say New York. New York is not in the
(29:45):
top ten. The most fast foodlocations per hundred thousand people in the state
Sharon, you know the answer,I do. Yeah, So I will
reveal the answer now and it maysurprise you. The most fast food locations
per one hundred thousand people in thestate West Virginia. Everyone see forty I
(30:08):
swear forty nine. Yeah, switchforty nine fast food locations for every one
hundred thousand people in the state ofWest Virginia. Kentucky is number two,
forty seven fast food locations per onehundred thousand. It was in the right
mental place. You're totally worried.Yes, that uh less affluent to Alabama.
Yeah, you got it. Andafter It's very close actually the top
(30:30):
ten. But h Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana. Ohio is ranks high.
The Wendy's was born in the stateof Ohio, so you'd think there would
be more Wendy's than any other fastfood chain. But Subway is the biggest
(30:52):
chain in the state of Ohio.I bet that's because they put them in
gas stations. Oh yeah, that'sall get to you. That's a game
changer, that's right. Yeah,very good, croche, but pretty incredible
that one in three Americans is goingto eat fast food today in most states.
(31:17):
Well, foosh, maybe me andyeah it's you know why, because
it's quick and it's delicious food.Thank you, don't blame you. It's
been fun. The Great mo Kellyjoins with his band of Crazies, takes
place, takes a takes hold,I should say, takes our place.
(31:40):
So I think what I was tryingto say. We'll see you tomorrow.
Great to hang out. Thanks forall the love. Conway kids, We're
KFI AM six forty live everywhere onthe iHeartRadio app. Conway Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now youcan always hear us live on k if
I AM six forty four to sevenpm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
(32:05):
demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI AM six forty and you'relistening to The Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Mark Thompson herefor Tim Conway Junior's d Day. Of
course, I know many have seenall the commemorations of this day eighty years
ago that the Allies stormed Normandy Beach. Women were involved, by the way,
(00:24):
yeah, more than three hundred andfifty thousand American women were involved with
the armed forces during World War Two. It's of course army and Navy nurses
for decades, but World War Twoled to a bunch of other areas that
women were active. They were inthe Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
(00:44):
the Coast Guard, and in nineteenforty two there was an auxiliary Corps created
by Congress and it was populated bywomen. And it was just one of
the many institutions within the military thatwomen were part of. The Coast Guard
(01:07):
established a women's unit known as theSpars, and women aviators flew with the
Women Air Force Service pilots that unitbeginning in nineteen forty three. I mean,
we're so far away from the WorldWar II configuration of the world and
the sense of well, frankly thesense of intense patriotism and stepping up to
(01:37):
the task that many felt the youknow, of fighting back fascism and the
despots of well, the rising despotsin Europe. We're so far away from
that. I mean, the decadeshave sort of washed away a lot of
the feeling that many had then wantingto be part of the war effort,
(02:00):
is my point. So many servicewomen got recognition and respect during the war,
but there was still that gender discriminationfrom the public and from male college.
It was a male dominated scene.Here's a little something on women being
honored on D Day for their rolein the armed services in World War Two.
(02:21):
And it was and they did thesewomen just teenagers when they put their
dreams on hold to do their partfor their country. You wanted to be
doing something in that a law todo that. One hundred year old Marjorie
Stone from Amherst, Massachusetts, isone of sixty eight World War two veterans,
(02:43):
three of them women, being honoredthis week in Normandy at the eightieth
anniversary of D Day. World Wartwo marked the first time in American history
all branches of the US military allowedwomen to enlist, and more than three
hundred and fifty thousand answered the call. I mean it really was a feeling
of all hands on deck, youknow, and that's what everyone felt.
(03:06):
They wanted to be part of thewar effort. And so it's in that
context that women stepped up in allthe ways that they were able to.
I feel like we started something.There were no women in it at that
point, and we started it andlooked where the women are now, ye
know. So we started something andthen there were the rosies Jesai in history
(03:31):
working with Vit Boding. May Iask how old you are? I am
ninety nine years old. Years young? Four years you were a rosie?
Yes, well, once a rosie, always a rosie. Yeah. Connie
(03:51):
Palazio became a riveter on Best seventeen'sShe was just eighteen years old, the
same age that Genie Gibson was whenshe became Why was it so important for
you to make this journey now?No? Oh, I'm running out of
time. At ninety eight years old, Gibson left college to work as a
(04:12):
welder in a shipyard in Seattle,Rebil already trained an our new defense program.
One of six million Americans you puttheir lives on hold to take jobs
essential to the war effort, likebuilding warplanes and battleships. I mean,
it was crazy. Everybody was involvedin that war effort. You know,
it's a much different time now,and as we look back on it,
(04:35):
I'm sure there is a there's apart of this it's just hard to relate
to. But you have the senseof service and the calling that people felt.
You have that reflected in all ofthese different stories of the women who
stepped up, the underage guys.I mean, you had people wanting to
(04:57):
go into the military who are sixteen, fifteen years old, they could
pass for eighteen. And you hadmany you know on Normandy Beach who was
seventeen years old. And it's asad fact but many of them have passed
away or really are at the endof their run. But what a wonderful
(05:23):
way to honor their memories, youknow, on d Day on this eightieth
anniversary. And I don't know,I think these commemorations and I've never been
to Normandy, but apparently it istranscendental when you go. And Conway's talked
(05:43):
to me about it. He said, you've got to go, You've got
to experience it. Just a powerfulmemory that is in a way brought to
life in a manner you just can'tfind in any sort of movie or book
you're going to read about it,but all the details of the Allied landing
(06:09):
and depict it in I mean PrivateRyan apparently the beginning of Private Ryan.
When you see the Normandy invasion fromthat perspective, is so realistic that many
involved in the Normandy invasion couldn't watchit or left the theaters after seeing it,
(06:30):
and they found it so powerfully emotional. So on this d Day we
recognize all of those who serve thiscountry and beat back the fascism and despotism
of Europe and beyond the Asia theateras well, and also the women who
(06:53):
made all of these different contributions inthe ways that they were able. It
was really all hands on in thiscountry. And so June sixth, nineteen
forty four, the liberation of thecontinent from the Nazis began for this country.
So just as we close the dayout, it's worth, you know,
(07:17):
tipping our cap to all of thosepeople. I have a very confused
relationship with our next guest. He'sa regular here at KFI. He's a
I would say, a cornerstone.Now of KFI. Confused relationship. Yeah,
(07:41):
it's confused. It's a really confusedrelationships. Yeah. I think Sharon
might understand it. I don't knowif I should mention it now because he's
not listening. Probably right, he'slistening. Oh you think he is warning
morning? Yeah? Maybe I don't. I think he's listening. Well,
(08:03):
okay, I mean is it badthat I I mean, you know,
I'm confused, and I think youshould. You should like get this out
discussion, discussion with him. It'sthe subject. Yeah, you should talk
to him about it easier too,all right? Radio magic? All right?
I will Dean Sharp joins us next, and I will share my deeply
(08:26):
confused psychological issue with Dean Sharp.When God, when we come back,
you're listening to Tim Conway Son.You're on demand from KF. I am
six forty. There is a guy, And I'll tell you why it's a
confusing relationship that I have psychologically withDean Sharp, because on paper, I
(08:52):
should not like Dean Sharp. Heis I don't know if you've seen him.
He's handsome, Okay, he's hall. He knows all the stuff that
a real guy should know. Ikind of build a house the different kind
of stuff you need, the toolshe's you know, he's a real guy
(09:13):
that way, and I'm not Ishould be so jealous of him that it
blunts my ability to like him.And yet I really like him, and
I look forward to his segments eventhough. And in my family, by
the way, my brother worships him. So you can see how it's confusing
(09:37):
for me with that sad and mightsay pathetic even reflection on my own deficiencies.
I welcome him in now, thegreat Dean Sharp. Everybody, Hi,
Dean Hoboo. Somebody needs a hug. Yeah, it's true, it's
true. Right, I feel inadequatestanding next to you, but fortunately I'm
(09:58):
not really standing next to you.You are beaming in and you are talking
about a remodel. I love this. We all want to do it,
but there's stuff that we need todo before we do it. Yeah,
there are. You know, here'sthe thing about remodels. They're usually the
(10:18):
thing you have saved up for,you've taken out a loan. You know,
you're biting your nails about it becausethere are a lot of money a
major remodel. And I run intofolks constantly who have pushed through you know
they've done their best, but wehave seen Tina and I so many instances
(10:39):
where we end up asking questions afterthe fact of somebody and they're like,
oh my gosh, I wish youhad been here to tell me about this
before we got started. So thisweekend I'm angling the show. This weekend,
very special couple of shows. It'sreally just about this. It's about
things that you're not thinking about forthe remodel. But death least should be
(11:01):
the best tips that I can giveyou, not how to do the whole
thing, but the kind of stuffthat you really you need to take notes
on to make sure that these thingsdon't fall through the CRACKSK what is like
one of the bigger problems or mistakesthat people make or one of the things
that's left out oftentimes of the planning. Okay, so here here's maybe two
(11:22):
of the biggest things right now.Contractors are not building designers. Okay,
Contractors are not architects. They're notdesigners. Now, contractors have experience with
stuff, and they'll give you theiropinion about things, but you just need
to know that contractors are not designers. That's not their primary job description.
Electricians are not lighting designers. Plumbersare not bathroom designers all right. Landscapers
(11:48):
are not landscape designers. So Isay this, and I don't do it
to feather my bed because I amboth a builder and a designer. But
just the reality out there, don'ttake all of your designed advice from your
builders, because that's really not youknow, they know what they know,
and they're hopefully experts at installing andcreating the things that other people have designed
(12:13):
to go into your remodel. Butplease don't design your remodel by contractor.
It is a really big MISSI Isee why we do, though, ask
the electrician about the lighting, theplumber about the fixtures, and the contractor
about the design. I see why, and I know you see why also
because to us, they're like theranking officers on deck, you know.
(12:37):
Oh yeah, they pray all that, you know. So it's a it's
kind of a default position, likethe what do you think we should do?
No, I think it's a it'sa it's a fundamental gap in our
culture actually when it comes to homedesign and that kind of stuff. You
know, I say it all thetime. On the high end, the
state level, where we spend alot of time designing home. This is
(13:00):
a given. You know. Let'ssay you got somebody sitting in a multimillion
dollar property and they decide, youknow, we're gonna make a change to
the house. They pick up thephone and they call their designer, they
call their architect, their deck orwhoever they call a creative, they call
a storyteller first, and then oncethey get that all figured out, then
(13:22):
you call in the contractors. Thatis the standard operating procedure on the high
end, but that has not stillto this day, made it down to
the mainstream. We we have beenprogrammed that, hey, you're going to
redo your kitchen, call a kitchencontractor. They'll help you figure it out.
(13:43):
And so the very first call thatwe make is to an actual builder,
not to a design team. We'vebeen led to think that designers are
going to blow your budget, thatthey're gonna that they're somehow a superfluous part
of the process that rich people fiddlearound with regular people bypass. But I'm
here to tell you right now,if you want to maximize your budget you
(14:07):
get the most bang for your buck, you need a design team to make
sure that every dollar is being spentto maximum impact. And so that's where
that comes from. You make areally good point about the design team.
A good design team can save youmoney. But it is also true that
a lot of design dollars go outand sometimes you just that bust the budget,
(14:28):
you know what I mean. Itreally is weird how you know you're
paying an hourly for the design teamand before you know, it's like,
oh my god, I just don'tknow what to do. You both need
them, and yet oftentimes it's hardto build in that extra money. No,
I know, and I get it. I get it, and I
get that argument as well. Iget that concern. But you know what,
mark the same The exact same thingcan be said of contractors. You
(14:50):
know, there are contractors that aregoing to waste your money. There are
contractors who are not worth hiring.Of course, there are designers not worth
hiring. Of course there are.But it is impingent upon the person who
has taken their remodel and their modeldollars seriously to find the right designers get
involved and push it forward to maximizewhat's going on. So that's you know,
(15:13):
that's one thing, And then Iwould say the other thing that is
really really important, and this isa contractor relation kind of thing. I
am so sick and tired of hearingthis after the fact it can't be done.
Is never never an acceptable answer fromyour contractor. Okay, never an
acceptable answer. I mean, thefact of the matter is I again,
(15:35):
I come from a world in whichit's a given. Of course it can
be done. Anything can be done, Okay, these days, anything you
ask for can be done. It'sjust a matter of how complex it is,
is it worth cutting that size ofa check for and will it really
help in the end. But myconcern is that very simple, very reasonable
requests sometimes come out on the partof homeowner saying, oh, you know,
(16:00):
could could this happen to my No? No, no, that can't
be done. And what we're hearingis not that it's not possible. We're
hearing a contractor saying I don't wantto take the time to do that.
You're messing up my place. Ilike that. You give me the straight
scoop. You get more from DeanSharp. It's Saturday six to eight in
the morning, and then Sunday it'snine to noon. Right, that's right,
(16:22):
that's right. I love it,man, you really, uh,
you've got the facts and we loveit, love the inside. And you
know where we are in my house. My brother worships at the Church of
Dean Shark So and he's he's justbought a house in Texas and so he's
redoing it and he and he likejots down everything you say. So,
uh so, bring your a gamealways. I'm doing my best. And
(16:47):
and we're not charging any money,so you know, I won't tell him
that. You know, he needsto get his money back. We'll do
our best. Dean Sharp. Everybody, thanks Deane, appreciate that. And
by the way, Dean is broughtto you on the Conway's show by one
Day Treatment Life changing Results. That'sright, make your appointment for the people
that Advanced Hair Advanced Hair dot com. Wow, pretty cool. When we
(17:17):
come back, Sharon, what we'redoing something special when we come back,
aren't we? Are we so justleft? Well, I guess she'll hear
it on her ride home. Areyou going to be special? It will
be special. You're listening to TimConway Junior on demand from kf I Am
six forty. You have Mark Thompsonhere sad for Tim Conway Jr. He's
(17:41):
Michael Krazer dream I liked it.Crows grooves out to blend the babies grooves
to it. You know, hey, I got a question for you,
Yes, sir, so, Iwas reading this article about this uh Marubo
tribe, this Rubo tribe that's thatthat got the Internet. They're like in
the middle of the yea. They'rean indigenous village in the in the Amazon.
(18:03):
Yes, right, they like don'tdo like anything or anybody, but
they got the Internet like nine monthsago thanks to Elon Musk's starlink. That's
right. And apparently since then they'vebecome like completely addicted. This two thousand
member tribe has become addicted to pornand social media. It is true.
This is what Krozer's talking about.Is absolutely true. So I have a
question, Yes, sir, haveyou noticed a bump on your YouTube page?
(18:26):
They have not. They have notdiscovered the Mark Thompson Show on YouTube
yet. It's a lot of newsand politics that they may not like,
although there's some offbeat lifestyle stuff thatthey might groove on. You don't show
any skin, No, I'm not. The porny part of the entire project.
They're not going to be happy with. But you got look then,
you got to get on the Maruborating people. You're right, go get
(18:48):
you gotta get that listener crowd.The Marubos that Krozer's talking about, while
not yet on the Mark Thompson Show, which is on YouTube. You should
subscribe for free if you have interestin news and politics and stuff. But
I know it's a free thing.But thank you for mentioning it. But
it has not yet made the agendaitems associated with the Marubo tribe. Now,
(19:11):
the Marubo tribe, as many ofyou may have heard, they were
completely isolated and as Krozer said thatthey just were a hunter gatherer tribe.
They would go out. It wouldtake they're so remote weeks to reach them,
to get into the part of theAmazon rainforest where they actually are set
(19:33):
up. But it is also truethat they got a benefactor of somebody in
this country in Oklahoma actually is awoman. And she's this insanely accomplished woman
who picked up the cause of gettingthe Marubo tribe the internet, getting them
this startlink, and she underwrote it. I mean she paid to get Starlink
(20:00):
and the Elon Musk service into theMarubo tribe. Man talk about a short
sighted idea. This is a personwho has no concept of all major technology
and the advances that have taken placein the last well. Ever, usually
the first thing that takes place isthere's some sort of porn element that makes
(20:22):
it jump. It is true thatwe now are dealing with all of these
issues related to social media and technology, but somehow we can't wait to bring
social media and technology to these remoteareas of the world that don't have these
issues that we have with those things. And we're not satisfied corrupting ourselves,
(20:44):
right, you have to spread thecorruption, she is quick to point out,
because clearly the experiment has gone horriblywrong. I mean, the tribe
has given up a lot of thehunter gatherer stuff. They are sitting around
most of them. You can't getthem off their phones. And this is
a tribe apparently that was like allalmost all but celibate, like they even
like apparently they frowned upon kissing inpublic. So they've gone way in the
(21:08):
other direction. Yeah, and it'snot just a porn I mean even the
ugly sort of first person shooter games. I say ugly meaning you know,
it's led to some ugly situations.They can't get them off of that either,
so they're really getting you know,in the world of the web and
the internet. It's not like they'reon Shopify. They're on stuff that really
(21:33):
floats their boat right away. Youknow. All these years we always talk
about how there are these remote tribesthat have no basic human contact outside of
themselves, and we always talk aboutpreserving them or at least leaving them untouched,
to be who they are and notscrew with their cultural identity and all
that stuff. And this is whatwe end up doing. Yeah, we
(21:55):
can't leave anything alone. And whatthey've done because it's so bad. You
know, again, this is ahunter gatherer society, so if you don't
hunt, fish and plant, youdon't eat. And what they've done is
they've switched off the Internet for largeportions of the day. So, I
mean, these are the tribal leaderswho got together and said we got to
do something about this. They literallyturn off the internet and it's only on
(22:18):
two hours in the morning, fivehours in the evening, and all day
Sunday, and during that time tonsof these Marubo tribespeople are crouched over or
reclined in hammocks on their phones andthey're on WhatsApp. Also they're on they
(22:38):
are like at the all you caneat buffet of the Internet. So I'd
really big curious because you know,we always see these these maps come out
of like the United States, andeach state represents what the biggest search is
on these searching social media are porn? I would be really fascinated to what
(22:59):
their search. Yeah, well itapparently is porn centric and and game centric.
How did they learn to use thisstuff so quickly? There's some stuff
I don't even know how to usethat they're using. Yeah, I mean
I think there was a a lotof this stuff is pretty intuitive, you
know, but I mean even Marubotribes would know how to do it.
(23:26):
That's more of afflectionive you if youwere a guy, you'd understand how to
do the porn. Believe that,well, good luck to the Marubos.
We expect to see you in somekind of like you know, addiction resistance
class soon. I mean, thepushing away from the Internet and pushing away
from that world is pretty tough.But the other aspect of that realize is
(23:51):
that if it's the Internet, itworks both ways. And are are they
or have they or will they startputting out their own product. Oh yeah,
Oh that's a great moral video.Yeah, like, if the Baldwin's
going to have a reality show,why can't they and they know they can
turn it into something exactly. Youshould send them some Mark merch. Yeah,
(24:12):
I should. I should get themout. Crozier may have a great
idea. Get them on board theMark Thompson Show. At least get them
at least get them some merch.So it shows up. Yeah in some
of their videos. One of ourmart Amazon throw pillows there in the h
Yeah, they're I don't know ifthe Amazon. I don't think Amazon delivers
(24:34):
to the Amazon, right, butthat's a good question. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, apparently one of the shamanin the Marubo tribe, and I
see we have to take a break. But just to quickly note, they
that shaman apparently had visions of ahandheld device that could connect the entire world.
This is decades ago. This shamanhad this vision and this is a
(24:56):
quote. It would be good forthe good of the but in the end
it wouldn't be. In the end, there would be war. That was
from a Marubo shaman decades ago.Wow, pretty heavy, Now, good
luck Marubos. It's worth ten hilldevice are you talking about? Thank you,
(25:17):
Thank you. Michael Krazer, Pleaseall emails to Krozer. You're listening
to Tim Conway Junior on demand fromKF I am six forty. It is
hot inland. Coastal areas won't bequite as bad. That's the word for
the next couple of days. Butreally hot inland where Tim is it is,
uh, super hot. I thinkit. What was it one?
(25:41):
What did he tell you? Itwas like one hundred and five or something
in Parker, Parker, Arizona.That's how where he is. Yes,
yeah, there is a question Ihave for you, Michael Krozer and assembled
kids of the Conway crew. Itrelates to fast food. I'll start with
(26:02):
the general. This is a questionrelated to the different states in America and
how many fast food restaurants are invarious states. But before I get to
this, one percentage jumps out atme, and I'm curious if you can
guess it. What percentage of USadults eat fast food on any given day.
(26:30):
Let's whip it for the question,what percentage of US adults eat fast
food on any given day. We'llstart with you Michael Krozer. Okay,
eighty percent is not correct, butit's a fine guess, is it?
Because you laugh like it wasn't?Yeah, because it's not really Actually,
(26:53):
I just said fine. Guests foretother things about it that we're fine,
but the actual accuracy of the guesswas a fine. Wait a bit,
you're only allowed one to guess.The bylaws of the show sadly only allow
you one guess? Uh, steffushwhat percentage of US adults eat fast food
on any given day? I'll sayseventy? No, you thought Krazer was
(27:19):
just five percent off? I yeah, Okay, Sharon? Who else is
available for Lindsay Linz? What doyou think? What percentage of US adults
eat fast food on any given day? I'm gonna go with sixty percent.
Sixty percent. Very good guess.Not accurate, but a good guess.
Nonetheless, Sharon, do you knowthe answer? I think you might.
(27:41):
No, I don't know the answer? This one all right? Fifty eight
percent? Fifty eight percent? Andis that everybody we've Angel here is the
birthday Angeel the girl party took off? Yeah, I don't clamber. Yeah,
the answer what percentage of US adultseat eat fast food on any given
day. The answer is thirty sevenpercent were on the second guess. You
(28:06):
are right, second guess is notpermitted. First you go off the charts
with that eighty percent. It doesseem like a lot of people eat fast
food. But it's good to knowthat people are eating at home. I
think Steph was probably making up alarge percentage of that. It's what we
see on the other people's behalf.Yes, like price thick the food,
like the prices. So apparently,a new report shows that the most fast
(28:34):
food restaurants exist in the following states. Now, this list is the you'd
think you mean per population per onehundred thousand, Yeah, thank you,
most the most fast food locations perone hundred thousand people in the state.
(28:57):
What state? You got a whip? All right, whipping one last time?
What state has the most fast foodlocations per one hundred thousand people in
the state. We'll start with youagain, Michael Krazer. I'll go Alabama.
(29:19):
Alabama not in the top ten,sir, I'll go with you now.
Lynz Lindsay, I'm gonna guess Indiana. Indiana is in the top ten,
but it is number six, Sothere is no winner of actually awarded.
How about Eustafush I'll say New York. New York is not in the
(29:45):
top ten. The most fast foodlocations per hundred thousand people in the state
Sharon, you know the answer,I do. Yeah, So I will
reveal the answer now and it maysurprise you. The most fast food locations
per one hundred thousand people in thestate West Virginia. Everyone see forty I
(30:08):
swear forty nine. Yeah, switchforty nine fast food locations for every one
hundred thousand people in the state ofWest Virginia. Kentucky is number two,
forty seven fast food locations per onehundred thousand. It was in the right
mental place. You're totally worried.Yes, that uh less affluent to Alabama.
Yeah, you got it. Andafter It's very close actually the top
(30:30):
ten. But h Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana. Ohio is ranks high.
The Wendy's was born in the stateof Ohio, so you'd think there would
be more Wendy's than any other fastfood chain. But Subway is the biggest
(30:52):
chain in the state of Ohio.I bet that's because they put them in
gas stations. Oh yeah, that'sall get to you. That's a game
changer, that's right. Yeah,very good, croche, but pretty incredible
that one in three Americans is goingto eat fast food today in most states.
(31:17):
Well, foosh, maybe me andyeah it's you know why, because
it's quick and it's delicious food.Thank you, don't blame you. It's
been fun. The Great mo Kellyjoins with his band of Crazies, takes
place, takes a takes hold,I should say, takes our place.
(31:40):
So I think what I was tryingto say. We'll see you tomorrow.
Great to hang out. Thanks forall the love. Conway kids, We're
