It's KFI AM six forty and you'relistening to the Conway Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Presidential Debate.Tune in at six pm right here on
KFI. It's brought to you byCNN simulcast on KFI AM six forty.
So it's going to be a bignight, huge, huge night for CNN.
(00:24):
All right, let's get into someother news real quick, because you're
going to only hear the debate,and then after the debate, you're only
going to hear people talking about thedebate. So let's try to squeeze some
news in before the big debate tonight. There's a fire of fire on a
cruise ship. Hell happened. Asmall fire aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the
(00:45):
Seas caused a brief power outage whilethe ship was docked in Costa Maya on
Tuesday afternoon. At this time,a senatorships from Afton Das, a Royal
Cribban spokesperson, told Cruise Radio lastnight that the fire occurred in a crew
ara and was quickly extinguished by theonboard team and no injuries were reported.
Now after the power outage, theseships backup generator kicked in to restore power.
(01:08):
I Con eventually left Coastamaya at fivepoint fifteen pm local time and will
continue its itinerary as planned. It'sdo back in Miami this weekend. All
right, fire on a cruise ship. People always get nervous about that because
maybe you got mom or dad,grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunts,
cousins, friends on a cruise ship, and when it's on fire, it's
(01:30):
bad vibes. You want to know, the Lakers have drafted a where they've
made a couple of decisions in theirdraft picks this year, and Bronni James
was one of them. Lebron James'skid. This is a big deal because
you'll always hear a general manager saywe got exactly the guy we thought was
there. But for the Lakers,they have no idea that Dalton Connect,
(01:53):
oh, okay, this is DaltonConnect, this is their big pick,
would still be there. A lotof teams had them eight ninth or ten.
Wow, But there he was atseventeen and when the Lakers took him,
JJ Reddick pulled out a piece ofpaper and started drawing up plays for
their new sharpshooter. To his generalmanager, he is six foot six.
He says he models his game afterKevin Durant. Wouldn't that be great?
(02:15):
Oh? He shoots forty percent frombehind the arc and Rob Polinka called him
the ultimate Jim Rat because coming outof high school he did. Is that
a compliment? And somebody calls youthen called him the ultimate Jim Rat because
I guess so, I don't know, it's a compliment. Coming out of
high school, he didn't have oneDivision I scholarship offer, so he went
to a junior college, then spenttwo years at the very small Northern Colorado
(02:39):
before finally transferring to Tennessee as afifth year senior. He put on twenty
pounds of muscle and what he saidwas the quote best year of his life.
It's not just a dream for Connectto come to the Lakers, also
a dream for the Lakers' front office. We would have never imagined a players
skilled and sort of perfect for ourneeds would be there for us as Dalton
(03:01):
Connect. We had him, youknow, as a top ten player unanimously
across our scouting boards. Wow,in my mind was like, there's no
way a player like this could beavailable for us to pick on draft nights.
I was joking with Coach Reddick upstairsthat you know, we've we found
a movement shooter to match his skillsas a player at Tennessee. I've watched
a lot of JJ Reddick with CoachBarnes. This is Dalton, this Dalton
(03:24):
Connect talking at Tennessee. I've watcheda lot of JJ Reddick with Coach Barnes
and just the way he moves andpays himself and was able to create space.
So hearing that is it really excitingand it's going to be real special,
all right. So they got DaltonConnected seventeen and then they got Bronni
James lebron James Kid at number fiftyfive. So he's going to be playing
(03:47):
with his son on That's gonna bea big deal for Lakers. I don't
know if he'll go right to theG League or he'll, you know,
stay on the Lakers and be abench player. I don't know. I
don't know the munch bumpt basketball,but I do know there's some controversy over
it, and it reminds me ofthe controversy in the nineteen eighties when my
(04:11):
dad was doing that video called dwarfonGolf and he was looking for a guy
to drive a golf cart over himwhile he was Dwarf on golf and he
looked up and down Hollywood to getthe perfect actor, and then he hired
me to be the actor. Hedid all his due diligence, that's right.
And then I and then listening totalk radio like sports radio today talking
(04:33):
about Bronnie James. Back in theeighties, I was listening to Lowman and
Barkley and Michael Jackson and Tomkis andall these guys on talk radio saying,
oh, Tim Conway Junior is inthat new Dwarf video because of who his
dad is, and that was somecontroversy. And I remember TJ. Simons
(04:54):
said that kid got the job andstole it from some other actor. And
you know, my dad did.My day. I had called Loman and
Berkley and said, look, thisjob entails the actor driving over me with
a golf cart. I wanted somebodythat was going to be very careful of
driving over me with a golf cart, and I chose my kid. So
(05:17):
I've been there, Bronnie before,on a much much sort of you know
parallel plane where everybody in talk radiois talking about you and your dad,
and I was there with Dwarf ongolf and I remember how how weird that
week was. So Bronnie, ifyou're listening, I've been there. Man,
(05:38):
hang on, hold on. It'sgonna be a rough week, rough
month, but I think you canhandle it. And that's my sports great
sports talk, right, But listeningto Petro's Money and other sports talked about
the Lakers draft choice and Bronnie James. That's a big controversy. That's a
big controversy and I don't know reallywhy it is. The draft pick was
(06:01):
number fifty five. It's not likeyou're gonna you know, it's not like
a waste at fifty five. Andwho knows, maybe it'll track a lot
of people to go down and watchLebron James play basketball with his son.
That'd be cool to see. Idon't think it's ever happened before in the
NBA. I don't think anybody hasever played basketball on the same court with
(06:24):
their son. So that'll be somethingcool to say. You can go down
there and check that out. Allright, don't forget the debate. We're
forty five minutes away from that debate. Actually, at longer that forty eight
minutes, forty seven and a halfminutes away. This is gonna be something
everybody will be talking about this tomorrow, and it'll start right here on KFI

an argument with Belly om im A. I like Del Taco every once in
(07:54):
a while, but when I drivethrough, I say, hey, don't
skimp on the please don't skimp onthe cheese, because I asked for extra
cheese ones and they charge me.So if you say don't skimp on it,
they feel like they've got to putsome more cheese on it. So
Bellio said, our own Kiki,who works here as a producer, looking
(08:18):
to make extra money for her wedding. She's got a heterosexual wedding coming up
and looking to make some money.And I said, oh, you should
work at the Del Taco on SanFernando. And Bellio says to me,
oh, so you have an inon the extra cheese. That's why you
want her to work there. AndBellio said, I don't think it's safe

(17:41):
AM six forty. It'll be onCNN and also simulcast right here on KFI
AM six forty in less than tenminutes, and the lead up to the
big debate on CNN is brought toyou by the Vand's There Yeah one day
dreating life changing results. Make yourpoint today at advance there dot com.
All right, so we're going totry to let you in on what's going
(18:03):
to happen during the debate. ABCRob Hayes did a great job getting all
the details together for us. SoRob was going on out there, buddies,
and I'd see ann presidential debate fullof first the first time both candidates
have served as president, the firsttime a convicted felon has taken part,
and the first time in nearly fouryears, President Biden and former President Trump
(18:26):
have been in the same room.The last time was for one of their
debates, the first of those nastyand boorish because the question, the question
just radtional left shut up. Thistime around, there will be no audience
and the microphones will only be turneddown when it's the candidate's turned to speak.
(18:47):
The Biden campaign are the ones thatinsisted on it. They wanted Trump
to be muted, so they didn'twant those interruptions. But it might be
that the Trump team is kind ofhappy with that because it controls their candidate.
It might force a restraint on thevery unpredictable actor and Donald Trump.
President Biden has spent nearly a weekin Camp David holding mock debates to prepare
for tonight. Trump has taken adifferent approach, holding more than a dozen
(19:08):
policy sessions with advisors and allies.I think I've been preparing for it for
my whole life. If you wantanother truth, I'm not sure you can
lock yourself into a room for twoweeks or one week or two days and
really learn what you have to know. On the campaign trail, Trump called
into an event at an Atlanta barbershop, suggesting his criminal conviction is boosting his
(19:30):
appeal with black voters. The blacksupport has gone through the roofs, and
guess they equate it to problems thatthey've had. Biden's camp calling that insulting
and rolling out a new campaign adfeaturing prominent Republicans who called Trump a threat
to democracy, threat of democracy.I cannot and good conscience endorse Donald Trump.
Former Republican Congressman Adam Kinsinger, whoserved on the January sixth Committee,
(19:55):
publicly endorsing Biden. There is oneman running for re election of two men
running for reelection that cares about thefuture of this country and cares about democracy,
and that's Joe Biden. Voters mayhave to wait a bit longer to
see Biden and Trump face off aftertonight. There's only one more debate on
the schedule, and it's hosted byABC in September. All right, ABC
(20:15):
in September, So that's the informationon the debate. CNN has put this
whole thing together and it's going tobe on in well about five minutes from
now. The first presidential debate intwenty twenty between these two candidates attracted an
audience of seventy three million viewers.That's a lot, making it one of
(20:37):
the biggest debates ever, and thishighly publicized debate tonight will probably break those
and shadow those records as well.They're expecting over one hundred million people to
watch this debate. Instead of theblue background showing the Constitution like the last
debate the previous presidential debates, viewerswill see the CNN logo. That's smart
(21:00):
of CNM, and they provided theplatform, so they have their anchors,
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will bethe moderators. And then it says here
CNN is putting restrictions on the useof the simulcast right down to what it
should be called. The CNN onscreen logo or bug as it's known in
(21:23):
the industry, must appear throughout thesimulcast. So if you're watching it on
Fox, ABC, NBC, you'realso going to see the CNN logo and
also very smart of CNN to brandthe entire debate on every channel, whether
it's English, Spanish, whatever languageit is. And right now we're four
(21:44):
minutes and forty seven seconds away.God, is this exciting. CN is
requiring other outlets to refer to itas the CNN presidential Debate. That's what
we do here. However, othernetworks cannot insert their own anchors or commentators
during the breaks or any other portionof the telecast. These are all the
rules that came along with that.So we are already for the CNN Debate.
(22:08):
You'll be listening to it right hereon kffive. There'll be two small
commercial breaks that we know of,at between six thirty and six forty five.
There'll be a three minute break there, and then another one at around
seven thirty, and then we'll comeback and they'll have final you know,
closing arguments or closing remarks. Sothis is really an exciting night. It's
(22:33):
going to be the most listened tohour and a half probably on KFI.
People in their cars driving around listeningto the debate between President Joe Biden and
former President Donald Trump, and whoeverwins is going to be a lame duck
president whoever wins, will not haveto worry about running for president again because
(22:56):
they can't. You can only servetwo terms totally, either be the second
term for Donald Trump or the secondterm for Joe Biden. And all of
this information is being brought to youby our good friends at Advanced Hair Life
Changing Results. Make your appointment todayat Advanced haair dot com. And then
as soon as the debate is over, Chris Merrill will be on and talking
(23:18):
about it right here on KFI.John Colebelt will be on with Alex Michaelson.
But stay on KFI and enjoy it. He'll have a wrap up I
imagine once the debate is over.I think he'll probably either you know,
have information, or take calls orread social media all the way up till
ten o'clock. It's a major deal. President Joe Biden will be on the
(23:45):
right hand side of the screen,I believe, and Donald Trump will be
on the left, and the micswill be cut off after the allotted time,
So if you have admitted to answer, they'll see a flashing red light,
then they'll go to just blank air, dead air. How much do
you think despite Mike's being off oneof the other is going to try to
(24:07):
talk over. Oh, I'm surethey will, Like you're gonna hear them
way in the background, exact sideof the stage. Yeah, that's exactly
right. They should be in soundproofboots where you can't hear them. You
know, once you cut them off, you're cut off. But this is
going to be we are carrying itlive here thanks to CNN, and this
will be a ratings bonanza for CNN. There will be well, I think
(24:30):
they'll be well over one hundred millionpeople watching. Everybody who's driving in your
car right now, unless you're eighteenor nineteen and you really don't care about
this crap. Everybody on the fivefour or five sixty ninety one, whatever
freeway you're on. I guarantee youthat all the cars around you are listening
(24:51):
to this debate, probably mostly onKFI, but I think one other station
is running it. But there aresome stations that aren't running it. You
know, there's some sports stations thatare running it. Music stations will will
not run it, but we will. We will run it uninterrupted. So
let's run the ID here real quick, STEFU, so we get that out
(25:11):
of the way. I know itthe recorded one is better than the one
I've pumped for through all the time. KFI and KOST HD two, Los
Angeles, Orange County. Hey see, I can't get that sweet. I
always screw that up. But thatis our that is our final audio that
we're going to run. This debateis going to start momentarily, so bear
(25:33):
in mind. Remember they're actually startingat six oh one, was when they're
actually supposed to start. The moderatorstonight. When you hear the male and
female voices, that would be JakeTapper and Dana Bash CNN both, Yeah,
and this will go to seven thirty, and then you'll hear people spin
and you know on social media,you're you're going to get a lot of
it on social media, and itprobably pretty heated on social media because people
(25:56):
are already in their own camps.You know, I don't know how many
undecided there are, and I don'tknow, you know, what makes you
an undecided right now. I thinkit's odd that people haven't decided. I
think there's so many people that,you know, there's no way if you're
a Trump fan, there's no wayyou'd vote for Biden. If you're a
(26:17):
Biden fan, there's no way you'dvote for Trump. And that's that's probably
true of eighty five percent of peoplelive in this country, and so maybe
this debate is just for the otherfifteen percent, you know. Oddly enough,
I was just looking at stats onit, and they we know that
they are exactly eight feet apart,so we're right. More about when their
(26:37):
MIC's off, chances are you'll probablyhear somebody talking, oh yeah, sure
really, And you know I findthis odd croche and maybe you know why
because you've been in radio longer thanI have. They're running a cn is
running a two minute delay on thisIs that for in case somebody swears?
And if somebody swears, it's onCNN, why would they care? That
seems a little odd a two minutefor those two guys, and we only
run I don't know, a sixtysecond here. I think any thing either
(27:00):
of those two would say shouldn't bedumped. It's like we'd want to carry
anything that they say. Why havea two minute delay? That's right,
that's right. Anyways, Big DebateDigdog at this debate Conway show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now youcan always hear us live on kf I
(27:21):

(00:24):
All right, let's get into someother news real quick, because you're
going to only hear the debate,and then after the debate, you're only
going to hear people talking about thedebate. So let's try to squeeze some
news in before the big debate tonight. There's a fire of fire on a
cruise ship. Hell happened. Asmall fire aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the
(00:45):
Seas caused a brief power outage whilethe ship was docked in Costa Maya on
Tuesday afternoon. At this time,a senatorships from Afton Das, a Royal
Cribban spokesperson, told Cruise Radio lastnight that the fire occurred in a crew
ara and was quickly extinguished by theonboard team and no injuries were reported.
Now after the power outage, theseships backup generator kicked in to restore power.
(01:08):
I Con eventually left Coastamaya at fivepoint fifteen pm local time and will
continue its itinerary as planned. It'sdo back in Miami this weekend. All
right, fire on a cruise ship. People always get nervous about that because
maybe you got mom or dad,grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunts,
cousins, friends on a cruise ship, and when it's on fire, it's
(01:30):
bad vibes. You want to know, the Lakers have drafted a where they've
made a couple of decisions in theirdraft picks this year, and Bronni James
was one of them. Lebron James'skid. This is a big deal because
you'll always hear a general manager saywe got exactly the guy we thought was
there. But for the Lakers,they have no idea that Dalton Connect,
(01:53):
oh, okay, this is DaltonConnect, this is their big pick,
would still be there. A lotof teams had them eight ninth or ten.
Wow, But there he was atseventeen and when the Lakers took him,
JJ Reddick pulled out a piece ofpaper and started drawing up plays for
their new sharpshooter. To his generalmanager, he is six foot six.
He says he models his game afterKevin Durant. Wouldn't that be great?
(02:15):
Oh? He shoots forty percent frombehind the arc and Rob Polinka called him
the ultimate Jim Rat because coming outof high school he did. Is that
a compliment? And somebody calls youthen called him the ultimate Jim Rat because
I guess so, I don't know, it's a compliment. Coming out of
high school, he didn't have oneDivision I scholarship offer, so he went
to a junior college, then spenttwo years at the very small Northern Colorado
(02:39):
before finally transferring to Tennessee as afifth year senior. He put on twenty
pounds of muscle and what he saidwas the quote best year of his life.
It's not just a dream for Connectto come to the Lakers, also
a dream for the Lakers' front office. We would have never imagined a players
skilled and sort of perfect for ourneeds would be there for us as Dalton
(03:01):
Connect. We had him, youknow, as a top ten player unanimously
across our scouting boards. Wow,in my mind was like, there's no
way a player like this could beavailable for us to pick on draft nights.
I was joking with Coach Reddick upstairsthat you know, we've we found
a movement shooter to match his skillsas a player at Tennessee. I've watched
a lot of JJ Reddick with CoachBarnes. This is Dalton, this Dalton
(03:24):
Connect talking at Tennessee. I've watcheda lot of JJ Reddick with Coach Barnes
and just the way he moves andpays himself and was able to create space.
So hearing that is it really excitingand it's going to be real special,
all right. So they got DaltonConnected seventeen and then they got Bronni
James lebron James Kid at number fiftyfive. So he's going to be playing
(03:47):
with his son on That's gonna bea big deal for Lakers. I don't
know if he'll go right to theG League or he'll, you know,
stay on the Lakers and be abench player. I don't know. I
don't know the munch bumpt basketball,but I do know there's some controversy over
it, and it reminds me ofthe controversy in the nineteen eighties when my
(04:11):
dad was doing that video called dwarfonGolf and he was looking for a guy
to drive a golf cart over himwhile he was Dwarf on golf and he
looked up and down Hollywood to getthe perfect actor, and then he hired
me to be the actor. Hedid all his due diligence, that's right.
And then I and then listening totalk radio like sports radio today talking
(04:33):
about Bronnie James. Back in theeighties, I was listening to Lowman and
Barkley and Michael Jackson and Tomkis andall these guys on talk radio saying,
oh, Tim Conway Junior is inthat new Dwarf video because of who his
dad is, and that was somecontroversy. And I remember TJ. Simons
(04:54):
said that kid got the job andstole it from some other actor. And
you know, my dad did.My day. I had called Loman and
Berkley and said, look, thisjob entails the actor driving over me with
a golf cart. I wanted somebodythat was going to be very careful of
driving over me with a golf cart, and I chose my kid. So
(05:17):
I've been there, Bronnie before,on a much much sort of you know
parallel plane where everybody in talk radiois talking about you and your dad,
and I was there with Dwarf ongolf and I remember how how weird that
week was. So Bronnie, ifyou're listening, I've been there. Man,
(05:38):
hang on, hold on. It'sgonna be a rough week, rough
month, but I think you canhandle it. And that's my sports great
sports talk, right, But listeningto Petro's Money and other sports talked about
the Lakers draft choice and Bronnie James. That's a big controversy. That's a
big controversy and I don't know reallywhy it is. The draft pick was
(06:01):
number fifty five. It's not likeyou're gonna you know, it's not like
a waste at fifty five. Andwho knows, maybe it'll track a lot
of people to go down and watchLebron James play basketball with his son.
That'd be cool to see. Idon't think it's ever happened before in the
NBA. I don't think anybody hasever played basketball on the same court with
(06:24):
their son. So that'll be somethingcool to say. You can go down
there and check that out. Allright, don't forget the debate. We're
forty five minutes away from that debate. Actually, at longer that forty eight
minutes, forty seven and a halfminutes away. This is gonna be something
everybody will be talking about this tomorrow, and it'll start right here on KFI

(07:54):
a while, but when I drivethrough, I say, hey, don't
skimp on the please don't skimp onthe cheese, because I asked for extra
cheese ones and they charge me.So if you say don't skimp on it,
they feel like they've got to putsome more cheese on it. So
Bellio said, our own Kiki,who works here as a producer, looking
(08:18):
to make extra money for her wedding. She's got a heterosexual wedding coming up
and looking to make some money.And I said, oh, you should
work at the Del Taco on SanFernando. And Bellio says to me,
oh, so you have an inon the extra cheese. That's why you
want her to work there. AndBellio said, I don't think it's safe
for a woman to work at adrive through after, you know, at
(08:39):
night. I said, it's perfectlysafe. It's in Burbank, Burbank cops,
they are on it. It's gonnabe fine. I want my extra

list one, two, three,four, she's fifth. Lucky to be

(17:41):
AM six forty. It'll be onCNN and also simulcast right here on KFI
AM six forty in less than tenminutes, and the lead up to the
big debate on CNN is brought toyou by the Vand's There Yeah one day
dreating life changing results. Make yourpoint today at advance there dot com.
All right, so we're going totry to let you in on what's going
(18:03):
to happen during the debate. ABCRob Hayes did a great job getting all
the details together for us. SoRob was going on out there, buddies,
and I'd see ann presidential debate fullof first the first time both candidates
have served as president, the firsttime a convicted felon has taken part,
and the first time in nearly fouryears, President Biden and former President Trump
(18:26):
have been in the same room.The last time was for one of their
debates, the first of those nastyand boorish because the question, the question
just radtional left shut up. Thistime around, there will be no audience
and the microphones will only be turneddown when it's the candidate's turned to speak.
(18:47):
The Biden campaign are the ones thatinsisted on it. They wanted Trump
to be muted, so they didn'twant those interruptions. But it might be
that the Trump team is kind ofhappy with that because it controls their candidate.
It might force a restraint on thevery unpredictable actor and Donald Trump.
President Biden has spent nearly a weekin Camp David holding mock debates to prepare
for tonight. Trump has taken adifferent approach, holding more than a dozen
(19:08):
policy sessions with advisors and allies.I think I've been preparing for it for
my whole life. If you wantanother truth, I'm not sure you can
lock yourself into a room for twoweeks or one week or two days and
really learn what you have to know. On the campaign trail, Trump called
into an event at an Atlanta barbershop, suggesting his criminal conviction is boosting his
(19:30):
appeal with black voters. The blacksupport has gone through the roofs, and
guess they equate it to problems thatthey've had. Biden's camp calling that insulting
and rolling out a new campaign adfeaturing prominent Republicans who called Trump a threat
to democracy, threat of democracy.I cannot and good conscience endorse Donald Trump.
Former Republican Congressman Adam Kinsinger, whoserved on the January sixth Committee,
(19:55):
publicly endorsing Biden. There is oneman running for re election of two men
running for reelection that cares about thefuture of this country and cares about democracy,
and that's Joe Biden. Voters mayhave to wait a bit longer to
see Biden and Trump face off aftertonight. There's only one more debate on
the schedule, and it's hosted byABC in September. All right, ABC
(20:15):
in September, So that's the informationon the debate. CNN has put this
whole thing together and it's going tobe on in well about five minutes from
now. The first presidential debate intwenty twenty between these two candidates attracted an
audience of seventy three million viewers.That's a lot, making it one of
(20:37):
the biggest debates ever, and thishighly publicized debate tonight will probably break those
and shadow those records as well.They're expecting over one hundred million people to
watch this debate. Instead of theblue background showing the Constitution like the last
debate the previous presidential debates, viewerswill see the CNN logo. That's smart
(21:00):
of CNM, and they provided theplatform, so they have their anchors,
Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will bethe moderators. And then it says here
CNN is putting restrictions on the useof the simulcast right down to what it
should be called. The CNN onscreen logo or bug as it's known in
(21:23):
the industry, must appear throughout thesimulcast. So if you're watching it on
Fox, ABC, NBC, you'realso going to see the CNN logo and
also very smart of CNN to brandthe entire debate on every channel, whether
it's English, Spanish, whatever languageit is. And right now we're four
(21:44):
minutes and forty seven seconds away.God, is this exciting. CN is
requiring other outlets to refer to itas the CNN presidential Debate. That's what
we do here. However, othernetworks cannot insert their own anchors or commentators
during the breaks or any other portionof the telecast. These are all the
rules that came along with that.So we are already for the CNN Debate.
(22:08):
You'll be listening to it right hereon kffive. There'll be two small
commercial breaks that we know of,at between six thirty and six forty five.
There'll be a three minute break there, and then another one at around
seven thirty, and then we'll comeback and they'll have final you know,
closing arguments or closing remarks. Sothis is really an exciting night. It's
(22:33):
going to be the most listened tohour and a half probably on KFI.
People in their cars driving around listeningto the debate between President Joe Biden and
former President Donald Trump, and whoeverwins is going to be a lame duck
president whoever wins, will not haveto worry about running for president again because
(22:56):
they can't. You can only servetwo terms totally, either be the second
term for Donald Trump or the secondterm for Joe Biden. And all of
this information is being brought to youby our good friends at Advanced Hair Life
Changing Results. Make your appointment todayat Advanced haair dot com. And then
as soon as the debate is over, Chris Merrill will be on and talking
(23:18):
about it right here on KFI.John Colebelt will be on with Alex Michaelson.
But stay on KFI and enjoy it. He'll have a wrap up I
imagine once the debate is over.I think he'll probably either you know,
have information, or take calls orread social media all the way up till
ten o'clock. It's a major deal. President Joe Biden will be on the
(23:45):
right hand side of the screen,I believe, and Donald Trump will be
on the left, and the micswill be cut off after the allotted time,
So if you have admitted to answer, they'll see a flashing red light,
then they'll go to just blank air, dead air. How much do
you think despite Mike's being off oneof the other is going to try to
(24:07):
talk over. Oh, I'm surethey will, Like you're gonna hear them
way in the background, exact sideof the stage. Yeah, that's exactly
right. They should be in soundproofboots where you can't hear them. You
know, once you cut them off, you're cut off. But this is
going to be we are carrying itlive here thanks to CNN, and this
will be a ratings bonanza for CNN. There will be well, I think
(24:30):
they'll be well over one hundred millionpeople watching. Everybody who's driving in your
car right now, unless you're eighteenor nineteen and you really don't care about
this crap. Everybody on the fivefour or five sixty ninety one, whatever
freeway you're on. I guarantee youthat all the cars around you are listening
(24:51):
to this debate, probably mostly onKFI, but I think one other station
is running it. But there aresome stations that aren't running it. You
know, there's some sports stations thatare running it. Music stations will will
not run it, but we will. We will run it uninterrupted. So
let's run the ID here real quick, STEFU, so we get that out
(25:11):
of the way. I know itthe recorded one is better than the one
I've pumped for through all the time. KFI and KOST HD two, Los
Angeles, Orange County. Hey see, I can't get that sweet. I
always screw that up. But thatis our that is our final audio that
we're going to run. This debateis going to start momentarily, so bear
(25:33):
in mind. Remember they're actually startingat six oh one, was when they're
actually supposed to start. The moderatorstonight. When you hear the male and
female voices, that would be JakeTapper and Dana Bash CNN both, Yeah,
and this will go to seven thirty, and then you'll hear people spin
and you know on social media,you're you're going to get a lot of
it on social media, and itprobably pretty heated on social media because people
(25:56):
are already in their own camps.You know, I don't know how many
undecided there are, and I don'tknow, you know, what makes you
an undecided right now. I thinkit's odd that people haven't decided. I
think there's so many people that,you know, there's no way if you're
a Trump fan, there's no wayyou'd vote for Biden. If you're a
(26:17):
Biden fan, there's no way you'dvote for Trump. And that's that's probably
true of eighty five percent of peoplelive in this country, and so maybe
this debate is just for the otherfifteen percent, you know. Oddly enough,
I was just looking at stats onit, and they we know that
they are exactly eight feet apart,so we're right. More about when their
(26:37):
MIC's off, chances are you'll probablyhear somebody talking, oh yeah, sure
really, And you know I findthis odd croche and maybe you know why
because you've been in radio longer thanI have. They're running a cn is
running a two minute delay on thisIs that for in case somebody swears?
And if somebody swears, it's onCNN, why would they care? That
seems a little odd a two minutefor those two guys, and we only
run I don't know, a sixtysecond here. I think any thing either
(27:00):
of those two would say shouldn't bedumped. It's like we'd want to carry
anything that they say. Why havea two minute delay? That's right,
that's right. Anyways, Big DebateDigdog at this debate Conway show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Now youcan always hear us live on kf I
(27:21):
Am six forty four to seven pmMonday through Friday, and anytime on demand
on the iHeart Radio app.
