Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF. I am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app, Ding dong
with that guy. They're getting dong with you, Tim. What's
going on, buddy? Are you still at the at the
United Arena? You sound very clear. No, I'm actually back
in the hotel room. You'll be You'll be hearing the
sirens here pretty quickly. Okay, sirens and Chicago apparently ubiquitous.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
They are.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
They are NonStop here.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I heard that a couple got held up at gunpoint
in right around the downtown areas.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That were you here as well?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It's Chicago, Tim, Yeah, but this is a Texas this
is a Texas delegate.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
They got held out.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh yeah, well, I mean listen, they they are very
clear when you came into the hotels, were we happen
to be at the Marriott? They said very clearly to everybody,
this is still Chicago.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So you got to be on your toes.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yes, you're going to be around a lot of people
and a lot of activities are obviously going to be
convention centric. But they are checking I mean they're checking
room keys to make sure that only people who are
in the hotels can actually go up to the rooms.
Basically all of the hotels around here are full, except
for Trump Tower, but that's a different story. And so yeah,
(01:14):
I mean they've told people, hey, keep your head on
a swivel. You're still in a big city, and don't
be stupid. Yeah, we also told us, by the way,
to not wear our credentials out. We re laid off
the property there. Yeah, United Center. Well, there was also
a big concern that protesters, if Shannon and I, for example,
were to walk through a group of protesters, that somebody
grabs our credentials way to whatever. But the thing is
(01:38):
the Secret Service credential that gets you into the perimeter
in the first place, not even into the building, but
into the perimeter that has our picture on it and
a QR code that is scanned somehow magically. By the
time we get to our first Secret Service person, they
know our names and I'm sure they've got a full
background check and everything ready for us to go. But look,
we came in on Tuesday and they greeted each one
(02:01):
of us by name, which was pretty creepy also a
little bit of reassuring, right, But did you guys have
to do a background search weeks or months before the convention,
did they do one on you? Yes, that's why. That's
why it wasn't invited. You know, wouldn't I wouldn't have
been as a whistle.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
All right.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
What about the Cubs game last night?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You go, I know, Shannon went, Tim, Have you ever
been to Wrigley Field?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Never? It absolute bucket list for me.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And when when we learned that we were going to
finally come to the to this convention and that it
was in Chicago. The other conventions that we've done and
other ones that we've seen, the major baseball team or
the major team that happens to be there is usually
out of town. For one thing, it's easier for the
party to rent out hundreds, if not thousands of hotel
(02:57):
rooms if the big you know, big draw is now
also intent. So I was surprised to find that the
Cubs were in town. And I mean it's it's super
easy to get around on the l The station is
two blocks away from the hotel. It's seven stops down
the Red Line, you get off at Addison, you're in
right field at Wrigley Field. I mean, it was amazing, Wow,
beautiful night. Cubs lost but I mean, I don't care.
(03:19):
They're not my team. But it was an absolutely beautiful night.
And Shannon got a security guard fired. Wait a minute,
wait wait wait wait, wait, back up, Shannon got a
security guard fired. Yeah, so, well, in between innings, you
know they'll come down. We had pretty good seats, so
we're behind the Tiger's dugout on the first base side,
and the security guard will come down between innings and
(03:41):
stand at the bottom of the staircase and look back
up at the crowd. Make sure you know nobody's getting
out of hand, nobody's gotten into it. And Shannon had
asked him a question about if I get up on
top of the dugout and start dancing, which jail do
I go to? Do I go to Wrigley Field jail
or do I go to Cook County jail?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
And he said, oh, no, you go to Cook County.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So then she said, well, you know, you've been nice,
and he was very polite, and she said, could I
take a picture with you? So producer Oscar took a
picture of Shannon standing there with the security guard Jason.
The next half inning, a different guy comes down and
everybody goes, hey, there's some guys in front of us
that were, you know, on Shannon's team obviously because well
you know why sure, and they said, we all said, hey,
(04:22):
where's Jason? And he said, well, Shannon had asked to
take a picture with the new security guard. And he said, well,
that's the reason Jason got fired is because of you
are supposed to take pictures. Oh wait, he didn't know
that though, right, Well, I don't think he got fired.
I think he got reassigned to probably a bad assignment
(04:43):
somewhere in the back of Wrigley Field. Well, what kind
of dumb rule is that if you take a picture
with a security guard, their lives get turned upside down?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I don't know. That is odd, Tim, I don't know anything.
But it's also kind.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Of weird though, that you guys go to Wrigley Feel
and you know the security guards by name.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, I mean they wear a badge. That's odd.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I feel responsible, partially responsible, because I told Shannon last
night after she came on, and I said, hey, thanks
for coming on, and she goes, oh, yeah, thanks for
having me. And she was pretty angry and pretty hot
when she came on, talked about everybody's a political horror
and she's got to get out of town. She hates
this town, hates politics, all that stuff. And I wrote back,
I go, it's always a better show when either you
(05:29):
or Gary or both of you are really pissed off.
So I thought, oh, maybe she took that the heart
and was pissed off at the security guard and got
the security guard fired. I don't know, no, I don't know, no, No,
she was just having fun. But we never saw Jason
the rest of the night, and that's too bad. But
I mean everybody around here has been really, very, very pleasant.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Well, when we talked to Yeah, when we talked a
couple of days ago, you mentioned I had come from Texas,
and Texas is I mean, a different world when it
comes to being nice. Everybody is nice all the time,
no matter what situation you're in, They're just nice. Right,
Chicago's is along those lines. I wouldn't say it's Texas level,
(06:10):
but it is definitely along those lines. It's going to
be a shock to the system going back to southern
California and having people not smile at you. Well, you know,
that's actually perfect because our next segment, there's a guy
who is here from Germany in the United States, and
he listed off twelve things that shocked him about being
in the United States, and one of them was the
empty greeting Americans have towards each other of saying how
(06:32):
are you, and they go, oh, I'm fine, thanks, how
are you right? And in German, in Germany, you would
never say that to anybody because they would lay nine
hundred problems on you. They would unload, Yeah, they would,
they would, they would go crazy. He also said that
he can't believe how fat people are in America. Tim
I'm getting a front row seat to obesity in the Midwest,
(06:53):
and I'm telling you I'm doing my part, actually, because
I think we're playing dinner at a steakhouse tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
If I'm not mistaken, so I have. I think it
was Tuesday when we spoke.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I had just come out of or We were just
sitting down to lu mal Naddy's Deep Dish pizza.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I got diabetes twice in forty five minutes. But the food,
I also heard, the food at Wrigley Field sensational.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
It's not just hot dogs and peanuts. We only did
hot dogs. Oh that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
We didn't really want to we didn't venture out. We
didn't do much, you know, exploring in terms of the game.
I wanted to sit there. I wanted to watch the
whole thing. We got all the way through the seventh
inning stretch. Of course, when they sing take me out
to the ball game, I mean is it is a beautiful,
beautiful place to see a baseball game. And the idea
that it's one hundred and ten years old. When you're
sitting there, it's just think of the things millions and
(07:48):
millions of people who have gone through that park. Is
Harry carry your statue of him? I'm sure there's plaques
and statues all over the place. I didn't see it.
There are, I didn't see them, but there is. There's
a caricature kind of of his face. You know, in
Dodger Stadium they retired Vin Scully's microphone, right, and they
have that plaque.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
They have a Vince.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
They have a Harry Carrey kind of a caricature silhouette
that's off to the side, and it shows up in
many places. And if I'm not mistaken, when they announced
the starting lineups, it was hard to hear, but when
they announced the starting lineups, they actually have Harry Carey saying.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
And here's the started line up Chicago Cubs. That's great.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You know, I know we were laid down the break here,
but I always pictured you go in Chicago, like Michael
Scott from the office, and you would say to shaneon,
I got this great place, this great pizza place in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
You gotta go on.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Chan's like, oh, what is it? Soporros, Soporos. It's great.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I appreciate coming on. You're gonna be on live from Chicago.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Not at the convention, but tomorrow morning at nine live
from iHeart Studios in Chicago. Man, when that party ends tonight,
they shut that place down. We are not a loud
back this in the United Center tomorrow, So yes, we
will be doing the show. We'll start right at nine
o'clock from one of the iHeart studios here in Shintown.
I appreciate you and Shannon coming on. I know it's
getting into your drinking time. It's already six fifteen, but
(09:12):
I appreciate you coming on. Oh I'm late, I'm late,
all right, all right, thanks Gary Hoffman, everybody, Gary and
Shannon tomorrow at nine am right here on KFI AM
six forty. We'll come back and we'll tell you what
a German tourist had to say about America.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Not good, not good.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It is The Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I got a text from my wife and she said,
you're the Michael Scott of KFI. I'm like, oh, hey,
busted my balls. And I said, I don't know what
you mean. She said, what about when we went to
New York. I'm like, okay, okay, okay, I get that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I get that. I went with my wife.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
My daughter had never seen New York City and we
wanted to take her there before the pandemic. We had
word the pandemic was coming down a couple of years
before it happened. So in twenty eighteen, she must have
been fourteen or fifteen, thirteen, fourteen or fifteen, I I
don't know, somewhere in that range.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
And we get to New York. We fly all night,
We get to the hotel.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
We were starving and I just wanted something good that
we can all eat, and I don't want to try
a new restaurant. And it happened, you know, an hour
wait or whatever. So we went across the street and
the first meal that we had in New York City, myself,
my wife, and my daughter. Yeah, Numero Uno, Numero Uno.
(10:41):
Come on, I'm not kidding you. That was my choice. Yes,
we walked across the street into a Numero Uno and
that's where they.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Sat a Detroit or Chicago or something like that. So
you didn't even go into a New York based pizza chain. No,
it was It's like, yeah, it's out of Midwest or something.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And I have a theory though, and I don't know
if it's catching on, but if they were honest with
their patrons, the people that went to that restaurant, they
would rename it numerou dosing talk with you. All right,
there's a German chap that came to the United States,
and now he's going to tell us what's wrong with
(11:17):
our country.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
All right, let's find out what happened here.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
German tourists reveals the things that shocked him most about
coming to the United States. Number One, money, it's an
open topic, unlike the taboo that it has in Europe.
People are excited to talk about their financial success and
without any negative vibes. I think he's probably onto something
I hear that all the time. You see people wearing
(11:41):
expensive watches, driving expensive cars, talking about how big their
four oh one cape plan is, and you know how
they got two homes or three homes. Maybe they own
I don't know, a mall or apartment building. People always
talk about their money. I'm with them on that one.
Fast food Number two fast food is disappointing. I was
so excited to try the American fan food, but the
fries tasted like cardboard. It was just like, okay, all right,
(12:05):
well I don't know where he went. And then another
one is number three, How are you? Is thrown around
too casually. It feels like a fake question. How you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, how you doing? Yeah? Hey, how are you good?
I'm good? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And by the way, the only response to that question
either good, fine, great, or thank you. That's it something nebulous, yes,
not an opportunity to unload, not you know, Oh you're
not gonna believe what happened to me today? Oh but yeah, right,
oh I got this Hey kid, who's crazy?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
No, no, no, no, how are you fine?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Good?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Goodnight?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Number four tipping feels like a broken system. I don't
get why taxes are included in the price, and then
you're expected to add eighteen to twenty percent on top
of that. Tipping for a cup of coffee seems to
be outrageous. I'm with them on that one. I'm with
them on that one.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, I'm Number five. The American dream is going strong.
There's still a huge desire to innovate and create a
better future.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Okay, I'm glad he picked.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Up on that. You know, we're Americans. We don't just
you know, sit around. We work our asses off until
we die.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
That's what we do. We work.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I think we're one of the only countries in the
world where we work much much more than anybody else
in the world. We don't take siestas. We don't take
a month of August off. You know, if you go
to Europe, everyone takes August off. And if you try
to cash a check in Europe between Christmas and New Year's,
good luck. No banks are open. Nothing's open between Christmas
(13:34):
and New Year's nothing, all right? Number six, the American tourist.
Number six. Americans are much louder than Europeans. I'm with
them on that one. I'm with them, like ten times louder.
Number seven. Stepping into a casino for the first time,
I couldn't believe my eyes watching people chain smoke and
lose all their money on slot machines.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
All right, well that's what we do. Number eight. This
is a good one. Obesity is off the charts.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I was shocked by how many severe overweight people are
in the United States.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I'm with them on that one.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
And number nine, Americans are super outgoing and talkative.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Okay, I don't know why that's a negative. I think
that's a positive.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Number ten. The lights are always on in America. In Europe,
you know, at night, they shut all the lights off.
If you've ever seen a satellite photo of Europe, it
looks like, you know, it could be the desert. They
shut everything off at night. We keep everything on. The
lights are always on in America. That's like a good
slogan too. Number eleven. Everything is supersized. Drinks, cars, everything
(14:33):
is fifty percent larger than Europe. I like that. That's
a great one. Everything's supercized. Number twelve. Trying to eat
healthy in America is an annoying challenge. I was shocked
by how expensive and hard to find nutritious options were Okay,
I'm with them on that one, all right. American customer
service is superintentive, friendly and compared to Europe. And I
(14:58):
think he's got a good point, you know, I mean,
you go to most customer services is terrific in this country.
Number fourteen. Flashiness and status symbols are everywhere. The clothing
people wear, the jewelry, the shoes, the hats, the purses,
the cars. It's everywhere. Yep, everyone's just flashing. They're dough around.
(15:19):
And the last one, I think it's yeah. Number fifteen,
the last one. I was really inspired by the risk
taking spirit of the American culture. People here aren't afraid
to change the world, even if it means leaving their
comfort zone. That is great that I'm glad that kid
picked this up. You know that this is America and
we are different than every other country in the world.
(15:42):
We don't like to be told what to do, We
don't like a lot of rules, and people will will
will risk their lives to get to this country to
experience this freedom that we have in this country.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
We all take it for granted.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But man, you see a family that arrives here with
nothing but the clothes on their back and they can't
believe they're in the United States of America. So all
the people crapping on this country, Republicans, Democrats, you know,
people who live here. I lived here for a long time.
This is still the greatest joint in the world. And
you can tell just go to the border, and so
(16:15):
many people are risking their lives, nothing on their back,
trying to break into this country. So I'm glad that
German guy. He got a lot of them right, some wrong,
but the last one was great. The Americans are inspired
and risk taking. They have a spirit that I've never
seen anywhere else in the world. People aren't afraid to
change the world, even if it means leaving their comfort zone.
So that's great. That's a winner for us.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
All right, it's Thursday. That's always a cool day around here.
Is good times, good times, all right. Jennifer Lopez is
in the news, bad vibes. Just get divorced from Ben Affleck.
I thought it was going to work the second time around.
Maybe the third time a charm I don't know possible. Ever,
the optimist, Yeah, I don't like to see Hollywood marriages
(17:05):
break up so quickly.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No good for the second time. Yeah, for the second time.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Man oh man, This morning benefer has broken up.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I bet they both hate that. I hate it, and
I'm not a benefer. Yeah, benefer. I'm not involved with
that couple at all. Never met either one of them.
When I see a story on either one of them,
I don't read it.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I move on.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I don't really know what he looks like. He's had
some work done, I can't. I couldn't pick him out
of a lineup. I know that he's done some movies.
I don't really follow either of these two careers. Bybe
It's the lead story in a lot of websites. People
love the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck story.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
This Morning Benefer has broken up. It was supposed to
be there happily. Ever, after the couple reunited after nearly
two decades apart, in it for Lopez filing for a
divorce from Ben Affleck on what would have been their
second wedding anniversary.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I don't know why they thought they could make it
work this second time around. They haven't been together in
two years. In twenty years, twenty years. That seems like
a long time. And you know, I don't know, maybe
you know this, maybe you don't, but people don't get
easier to live with in twenty years. They get more difficult,
(18:28):
They get in, you know, in a sort of in
their own space and their own moods, and they don't really,
they don't become easier to deal with in twenty years.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
And you're speaking specifically relationships, yeah, friendships or you know
that sort of stuff, because right with friendships you can
just leave.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right I'm talking about relationships.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I wouldn't know anything about that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I haven't made it that far with anybody. Okay, well
that's not true. Your first marriage, how long? Thirteen thirteen
years run? Yeah, good for you, buddy.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
TMC reporting Lopez listing the date of the separation as
April twenty sixth, saying the couple had no prenuptial agreement.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
If in fact, wait they had, they had had none.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Saying the couple had no prenumptial agreement.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Also an M and prenumptial.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Saying the couple had no prenumptial agreement.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
How's your numptial? Bros? How's your numctial? Hey, buddy, how's
your numctial If in.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Fact, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck don't have a prenuptial agreement,
they've just created a lot of trouble for themselves. They're
gonna need attorneys, they're gonna need accountants through all the
financial records.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, but I thought that, you know, if you're not
married that long, I think it's easier.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
And even though it's only two years, yes, that's my point,
just two years.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
They've each made a significant amount of money in these
last two years.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
The duo often apart. In recent months, Afflecks spotted doing
business around Los Angeles while j Lo went on a
European cruise.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Okay, here's what I heard from. I have friends who
are loosely in show business. I mean real loosely, Like
I could list read their whole resume and you'd be like, what,
that's show business. But here's what I heard. He's sober.
Ben Affleck is sober, and Jennifer Lopez is starting an
(20:21):
alcohol or has an alcohol company that she promotes or
it's her own or what she has a piece of.
And they when they go to do openings or you know,
pr for the alcohol they're buying. The couple, not just
Jennifer Lopez, but he doesn't want to go to promote
alcohol on somebody else because he's trying to be sober.
(20:44):
And that's a major fight that they have. That's the
biggest fight that they have. Now, I might be on
the moon here, but I've heard that from two different people. Yeah,
two different people. He's like, I'm not promoting this crap.
I'm not into it. I'm not going to promote alcohol.
I'm trying to get sober. And she's like, oh, come on,
they bought both of us. We got to both show
(21:04):
up so I can get my money.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Then to the Hamptons, where she threw herself a Bridgerton
themed birthday with no sign of vent. The pair shared
an emotional and vultive in Lopez's documentary The Greatest Love
Story Never Told?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Oh, God, hasn't been told twice? Now, that's the name of.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
The book, The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
That heartbreak to both of us on a course to
figuring ourselves out to being better people.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the way? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I think I've forgiven you all the way.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, he asked little. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
The question was figuring ourselves out to being better people.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Here's the question.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the way?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
You think you're forgiving me all the way?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:53):
I think I've forgiven you all the way.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Did he say forgive or figure out?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the way?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Forgive me? Forget?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I see you thought he said? Did you figure me
out all the way?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Right? Yeah? Do you think you've forgiven me all the way?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I think I've forgiven you all the way. I think
I need to forgive myself some things Afflecks.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
She admits a lot of forgiving in that relationship, not
a mighty afflex, noth There's no time for anything else.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Constant forgiving Afflex.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
She admitted, was reluctant to be featured in the revealing
behind the scenes project, initially uncomfortable being her muse.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I don't think he's very comfortable with me doing all
of this, but he loves me. He knows I'm an artist,
and he's gonna support me in every way he can.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Things that are private I had always felt are sacred
and special because in part they're private.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'm with him has that been Affleck speaking. I'm with
him on this support me. I'm with him one hundred
percent here.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Things that are private I had always felt are sacred
and special because in part they're private.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
That's right, He's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Like when people go around and talk about their sexuality
and talk about their politics.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
You don't keep anything private in your life. Nothing's private.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You talk about how much money you got like that
German tourist, you talk about how much you know, what
kind of expensive cars you have. People in this country
just don't know when to shut the hell up.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So this was something of an adjustment for me.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm sorry, dude.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
We know each other, right.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Jlo and Ben first began dating in two thousand and
two on the set of Jili Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Wasn't he with another woman at that time?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Jennifer Garner Garner, Yeah, not on that, not on that video.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
She was. He was with her. He was with Jay
Jlo j Loo. That's why he's in the video.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I'm still They quickly became Americas It couple, and we're
due to marry in two thousand and three, but called
off the wedding just four days before.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
That's easy for a four million dollar wedding just make
some calls.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
They later split in January of two thousand and four.
W j Lo opened up about that time to People magazine.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
We didn't try to have a public relationship. We were
kind of the hot couple at the time, and we may.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Have it's so gross calling herself, I know, we read though.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, oh man, we.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, how's it going now? I think there's still the hot.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Couple that not. You don't think so.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, all right, Well that's uh, that's a brag. I guess.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I don't think I've ever said that about me my wife.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I don't think I've ever been to a party. Oh yeah, well,
you know, my wife and I are kind of the
hot couple. Look around, we're the hot coupy. So great
to say about yourself. That is so awesome and so
rich felt that out about your It's not for anyone
else's say, it's for Jennifer Lopez. Yeah, well, you know,
we were the hot couple. Wait, wait what, I think
(25:10):
I know why he's put on the hockey skates.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyo from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Jennifer Lopez is available. She is filed for divorce with
Ben Affleck. So if you got a strong j lou
feeling and you think he got the dough to roll
around at that level, she's available. She's free. Yeah, and
she was the they were the hot couple at some point.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, I think about this. I think I did say
that I gotta apologize. My wife and I go up
to Oregon, where my wife's family's from, and when we
got married, it was a big deal. And I remember
telling people in that small town in Oregon that my
wife and I were the hot couple.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Of that town.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Didn't seem right, but it seemed fair. Did they seem
to agree or yeah, oh yeah, croach please.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time,
and we may have played into that at the beginning
because it was fun, and then it was not fun.
Then it was like destroying us.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Ah, that's horrible. Not the hit couple, I guess. After
a mom.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Affleck went on to marry actress Jennifer Garner. The couple
had three children. Lopez married superstar singer Mark Anthony and
had twins. No, a little bit something good come in.
Both of those marriages ended in divorce.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh okay, all right, I'm trying to keep up.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
With this star.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
J Lo appeared to find happiness during her two year
engagement to baseball icon Alex Rodriguez, but the star said
Affleck always held the key to her heart.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, and I guess a rod didn't like that.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You know, when you're engaged to a guy and then
you're constantly telling him that the key to your heart
is with another guy.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Guys turning into that.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
In twenty twenty one, the pair rekindled their romance and
made it Instagram official. She confirmed their status on her
on the Ja Loo newsletter.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Whoo anybody subscribe to? Then she has a newsletter?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, on the j LO, like on the down low.
But the j LO is it like an email or
is it in the mail?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I think it's dropped off on the driveway. You know,
every first out of a car window.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, every morning on four or five o'clock. You know,
hopefully he doesn't get in the sprinklers on the ja
Loo on the what was it called? On the j Loo?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
The newspaper?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
On her on the ja Lo newsletter, on the j
Lo newsletter.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yay, somebody's getting married. I get it. I get it.
I get why he's put on the hockey skates.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
The surprise Vegas nuptials came just three months later, but
the Hollywood fairy tale didn't last. Source close to Jlo
telling People magazine she tried really hard to make things
work and his heart broke it. The kids are a
top priority, as they always have been. And it's interesting
to note here Jlo filed for divorce in La County
Superior Court.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You know, I got to I have an issue here
and his heart broke it.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
The kids are a top priority?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Really, is that right?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Kids are top priority.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I'd like to believe that. I certainly would like to
believe that. But top priority means everything is about the kids.
Everything that means staying with the dad, you know, sort
of trying to make it work. I don't know, I
don't know. Maybe you couldn't. I get it, I get it.
But when you say kids are the top priority, the
(28:54):
actions are what really matter here.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.
And it's interesting to note here j Loo filed for
divorce in La County Superior Court. Pro per.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Oh I didn't know that pro per. Oh, so she
filed without an attorney. She was just there by herself, wow, or.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Without an attorney. So it will be really curious to
see how this plays out legally.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That an returning, even the guys that was that ABC,
that an attorney, that an attorney?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Really wow, they do that?
Speaker 6 (29:31):
That an atturning without an attorney. That an returning without
an attorney. Not an atturning without an attorney.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
That went on for fifteen minutes and no prenup right
and on their wedding anniversary.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Now on their wedding ohh my god.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
You know that one of the downfalls of being a
public person is that you get all the highs when
everything's going great, and then you get dragged into the
news when you're depressed, and you know, you got idiots
on the radio talking about you.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
That's got to be tough. That's got to be tough, man.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I hope her, I wish her well. You know, I
always used to say, you know, before I got married
and before I met my wife, that she needs more
of a guy like me who you know, it's more casual,
racetrack guy, likes to drink every once in a while,
you know, used to smoke cigarettes. I think she needed
(30:20):
a guy like that, you know. I always say, angel,
I swear to God, I'll come down and keep your car.
I'll be back here by about seven fifteen, seven thirty.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Wipe you out.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Oh dare you? I think that she would have been
happier with a guy like me. That enough said, we
would have been the hot couple. I'm coming down to
Orange County right now. Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear us live on
(30:52):
k if I AM six forty four to seven pm
Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeart
Radio app.
It's KMF. I am sixty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app, Ding dong
with that guy. They're getting dong with you, Tim. What's
going on, buddy? Are you still at the at the
United Arena? You sound very clear. No, I'm actually back
in the hotel room. You'll be You'll be hearing the
sirens here pretty quickly. Okay, sirens and Chicago apparently ubiquitous.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
They are.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
They are NonStop here.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Man.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I heard that a couple got held up at gunpoint
in right around the downtown areas.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That were you here as well?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
It's Chicago, Tim, Yeah, but this is a Texas this
is a Texas delegate.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
They got held out.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Oh yeah, well, I mean listen, they they are very
clear when you came into the hotels, were we happen
to be at the Marriott? They said very clearly to everybody,
this is still Chicago.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So you got to be on your toes.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yes, you're going to be around a lot of people
and a lot of activities are obviously going to be
convention centric. But they are checking I mean they're checking
room keys to make sure that only people who are
in the hotels can actually go up to the rooms.
Basically all of the hotels around here are full, except
for Trump Tower, but that's a different story. And so yeah,
(01:14):
I mean they've told people, hey, keep your head on
a swivel. You're still in a big city, and don't
be stupid. Yeah, we also told us, by the way,
to not wear our credentials out. We re laid off
the property there. Yeah, United Center. Well, there was also
a big concern that protesters, if Shannon and I, for example,
were to walk through a group of protesters, that somebody
grabs our credentials way to whatever. But the thing is
(01:38):
the Secret Service credential that gets you into the perimeter
in the first place, not even into the building, but
into the perimeter that has our picture on it and
a QR code that is scanned somehow magically. By the
time we get to our first Secret Service person, they
know our names and I'm sure they've got a full
background check and everything ready for us to go. But look,
we came in on Tuesday and they greeted each one
(02:01):
of us by name, which was pretty creepy also a
little bit of reassuring, right, But did you guys have
to do a background search weeks or months before the convention,
did they do one on you? Yes, that's why. That's
why it wasn't invited. You know, wouldn't I wouldn't have
been as a whistle.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
All right.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
What about the Cubs game last night?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You go, I know, Shannon went, Tim, Have you ever
been to Wrigley Field?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Never? It absolute bucket list for me.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
And when when we learned that we were going to
finally come to the to this convention and that it
was in Chicago. The other conventions that we've done and
other ones that we've seen, the major baseball team or
the major team that happens to be there is usually
out of town. For one thing, it's easier for the
party to rent out hundreds, if not thousands of hotel
(02:57):
rooms if the big you know, big draw is now
also intent. So I was surprised to find that the
Cubs were in town. And I mean it's it's super
easy to get around on the l The station is
two blocks away from the hotel. It's seven stops down
the Red Line, you get off at Addison, you're in
right field at Wrigley Field. I mean, it was amazing, Wow,
beautiful night. Cubs lost but I mean, I don't care.
(03:19):
They're not my team. But it was an absolutely beautiful night.
And Shannon got a security guard fired. Wait a minute,
wait wait wait wait, wait, back up, Shannon got a
security guard fired. Yeah, so, well, in between innings, you
know they'll come down. We had pretty good seats, so
we're behind the Tiger's dugout on the first base side,
and the security guard will come down between innings and
(03:41):
stand at the bottom of the staircase and look back
up at the crowd. Make sure you know nobody's getting
out of hand, nobody's gotten into it. And Shannon had
asked him a question about if I get up on
top of the dugout and start dancing, which jail do
I go to? Do I go to Wrigley Field jail
or do I go to Cook County jail?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
And he said, oh, no, you go to Cook County.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
So then she said, well, you know, you've been nice,
and he was very polite, and she said, could I
take a picture with you? So producer Oscar took a
picture of Shannon standing there with the security guard Jason.
The next half inning, a different guy comes down and
everybody goes, hey, there's some guys in front of us
that were, you know, on Shannon's team obviously because well
you know why sure, and they said, we all said, hey,
(04:22):
where's Jason? And he said, well, Shannon had asked to
take a picture with the new security guard. And he said, well,
that's the reason Jason got fired is because of you
are supposed to take pictures. Oh wait, he didn't know
that though, right, Well, I don't think he got fired.
I think he got reassigned to probably a bad assignment
(04:43):
somewhere in the back of Wrigley Field. Well, what kind
of dumb rule is that if you take a picture
with a security guard, their lives get turned upside down?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I don't know. That is odd, Tim, I don't know anything.
But it's also kind.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Of weird though, that you guys go to Wrigley Feel
and you know the security guards by name.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, I mean they wear a badge. That's odd.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I feel responsible, partially responsible, because I told Shannon last
night after she came on, and I said, hey, thanks
for coming on, and she goes, oh, yeah, thanks for
having me. And she was pretty angry and pretty hot
when she came on, talked about everybody's a political horror
and she's got to get out of town. She hates
this town, hates politics, all that stuff. And I wrote back,
I go, it's always a better show when either you
(05:29):
or Gary or both of you are really pissed off.
So I thought, oh, maybe she took that the heart
and was pissed off at the security guard and got
the security guard fired. I don't know, no, I don't know, no, No,
she was just having fun. But we never saw Jason
the rest of the night, and that's too bad. But
I mean everybody around here has been really, very, very pleasant.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Well, when we talked to Yeah, when we talked a
couple of days ago, you mentioned I had come from Texas,
and Texas is I mean, a different world when it
comes to being nice. Everybody is nice all the time,
no matter what situation you're in, They're just nice. Right,
Chicago's is along those lines. I wouldn't say it's Texas level,
(06:10):
but it is definitely along those lines. It's going to
be a shock to the system going back to southern
California and having people not smile at you. Well, you know,
that's actually perfect because our next segment, there's a guy
who is here from Germany in the United States, and
he listed off twelve things that shocked him about being
in the United States, and one of them was the
empty greeting Americans have towards each other of saying how
(06:32):
are you, and they go, oh, I'm fine, thanks, how
are you right? And in German, in Germany, you would
never say that to anybody because they would lay nine
hundred problems on you. They would unload, Yeah, they would,
they would, they would go crazy. He also said that
he can't believe how fat people are in America. Tim
I'm getting a front row seat to obesity in the Midwest,
(06:53):
and I'm telling you I'm doing my part, actually, because
I think we're playing dinner at a steakhouse tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
If I'm not mistaken, so I have. I think it
was Tuesday when we spoke.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I had just come out of or We were just
sitting down to lu mal Naddy's Deep Dish pizza.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I got diabetes twice in forty five minutes. But the food,
I also heard, the food at Wrigley Field sensational.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
It's not just hot dogs and peanuts. We only did
hot dogs. Oh that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
We didn't really want to we didn't venture out. We
didn't do much, you know, exploring in terms of the game.
I wanted to sit there. I wanted to watch the
whole thing. We got all the way through the seventh
inning stretch. Of course, when they sing take me out
to the ball game, I mean is it is a beautiful,
beautiful place to see a baseball game. And the idea
that it's one hundred and ten years old. When you're
sitting there, it's just think of the things millions and
(07:48):
millions of people who have gone through that park. Is
Harry carry your statue of him? I'm sure there's plaques
and statues all over the place. I didn't see it.
There are, I didn't see them, but there is. There's
a caricature kind of of his face. You know, in
Dodger Stadium they retired Vin Scully's microphone, right, and they
have that plaque.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
They have a Vince.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
They have a Harry Carrey kind of a caricature silhouette
that's off to the side, and it shows up in
many places. And if I'm not mistaken, when they announced
the starting lineups, it was hard to hear, but when
they announced the starting lineups, they actually have Harry Carey saying.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
And here's the started line up Chicago Cubs. That's great.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
You know, I know we were laid down the break here,
but I always pictured you go in Chicago, like Michael
Scott from the office, and you would say to shaneon,
I got this great place, this great pizza place in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
You gotta go on.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Chan's like, oh, what is it? Soporros, Soporos. It's great.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I appreciate coming on. You're gonna be on live from Chicago.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Not at the convention, but tomorrow morning at nine live
from iHeart Studios in Chicago. Man, when that party ends tonight,
they shut that place down. We are not a loud
back this in the United Center tomorrow, So yes, we
will be doing the show. We'll start right at nine
o'clock from one of the iHeart studios here in Shintown.
I appreciate you and Shannon coming on. I know it's
getting into your drinking time. It's already six fifteen, but
(09:12):
I appreciate you coming on. Oh I'm late, I'm late,
all right, all right, thanks Gary Hoffman, everybody, Gary and
Shannon tomorrow at nine am right here on KFI AM
six forty. We'll come back and we'll tell you what
a German tourist had to say about America.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Not good, not good.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It is The Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I got a text from my wife and she said,
you're the Michael Scott of KFI. I'm like, oh, hey,
busted my balls. And I said, I don't know what
you mean. She said, what about when we went to
New York. I'm like, okay, okay, okay, I get that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I get that. I went with my wife.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
My daughter had never seen New York City and we
wanted to take her there before the pandemic. We had
word the pandemic was coming down a couple of years
before it happened. So in twenty eighteen, she must have
been fourteen or fifteen, thirteen, fourteen or fifteen, I I
don't know, somewhere in that range.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
And we get to New York. We fly all night,
We get to the hotel.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
We were starving and I just wanted something good that
we can all eat, and I don't want to try
a new restaurant. And it happened, you know, an hour
wait or whatever. So we went across the street and
the first meal that we had in New York City, myself,
my wife, and my daughter. Yeah, Numero Uno, Numero Uno.
(10:41):
Come on, I'm not kidding you. That was my choice. Yes,
we walked across the street into a Numero Uno and
that's where they.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Sat a Detroit or Chicago or something like that. So
you didn't even go into a New York based pizza chain. No,
it was It's like, yeah, it's out of Midwest or something.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And I have a theory though, and I don't know
if it's catching on, but if they were honest with
their patrons, the people that went to that restaurant, they
would rename it numerou dosing talk with you. All right,
there's a German chap that came to the United States,
and now he's going to tell us what's wrong with
(11:17):
our country.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
All right, let's find out what happened here.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
German tourists reveals the things that shocked him most about
coming to the United States. Number One, money, it's an
open topic, unlike the taboo that it has in Europe.
People are excited to talk about their financial success and
without any negative vibes. I think he's probably onto something
I hear that all the time. You see people wearing
(11:41):
expensive watches, driving expensive cars, talking about how big their
four oh one cape plan is, and you know how
they got two homes or three homes. Maybe they own
I don't know, a mall or apartment building. People always
talk about their money. I'm with them on that one.
Fast food Number two fast food is disappointing. I was
so excited to try the American fan food, but the
fries tasted like cardboard. It was just like, okay, all right,
(12:05):
well I don't know where he went. And then another
one is number three, How are you? Is thrown around
too casually. It feels like a fake question. How you doing?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, how you doing? Yeah? Hey, how are you good?
I'm good? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
And by the way, the only response to that question
either good, fine, great, or thank you. That's it something nebulous, yes,
not an opportunity to unload, not you know, Oh you're
not gonna believe what happened to me today? Oh but yeah, right,
oh I got this Hey kid, who's crazy?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
No, no, no, no, how are you fine?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Good?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Goodnight?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Number four tipping feels like a broken system. I don't
get why taxes are included in the price, and then
you're expected to add eighteen to twenty percent on top
of that. Tipping for a cup of coffee seems to
be outrageous. I'm with them on that one. I'm with
them on that one.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, I'm Number five. The American dream is going strong.
There's still a huge desire to innovate and create a
better future.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Okay, I'm glad he picked.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Up on that. You know, we're Americans. We don't just
you know, sit around. We work our asses off until
we die.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
That's what we do. We work.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I think we're one of the only countries in the
world where we work much much more than anybody else
in the world. We don't take siestas. We don't take
a month of August off. You know, if you go
to Europe, everyone takes August off. And if you try
to cash a check in Europe between Christmas and New Year's,
good luck. No banks are open. Nothing's open between Christmas
(13:34):
and New Year's nothing, all right? Number six, the American tourist.
Number six. Americans are much louder than Europeans. I'm with
them on that one. I'm with them, like ten times louder.
Number seven. Stepping into a casino for the first time,
I couldn't believe my eyes watching people chain smoke and
lose all their money on slot machines.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
All right, well that's what we do. Number eight. This
is a good one. Obesity is off the charts.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I was shocked by how many severe overweight people are
in the United States.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
I'm with them on that one.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
And number nine, Americans are super outgoing and talkative.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Okay, I don't know why that's a negative. I think
that's a positive.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Number ten. The lights are always on in America. In Europe,
you know, at night, they shut all the lights off.
If you've ever seen a satellite photo of Europe, it
looks like, you know, it could be the desert. They
shut everything off at night. We keep everything on. The
lights are always on in America. That's like a good
slogan too. Number eleven. Everything is supersized. Drinks, cars, everything
(14:33):
is fifty percent larger than Europe. I like that. That's
a great one. Everything's supercized. Number twelve. Trying to eat
healthy in America is an annoying challenge. I was shocked
by how expensive and hard to find nutritious options were Okay,
I'm with them on that one, all right. American customer
service is superintentive, friendly and compared to Europe. And I
(14:58):
think he's got a good point, you know, I mean,
you go to most customer services is terrific in this country.
Number fourteen. Flashiness and status symbols are everywhere. The clothing
people wear, the jewelry, the shoes, the hats, the purses,
the cars. It's everywhere. Yep, everyone's just flashing. They're dough around.
(15:19):
And the last one, I think it's yeah. Number fifteen,
the last one. I was really inspired by the risk
taking spirit of the American culture. People here aren't afraid
to change the world, even if it means leaving their
comfort zone. That is great that I'm glad that kid
picked this up. You know that this is America and
we are different than every other country in the world.
(15:42):
We don't like to be told what to do, We
don't like a lot of rules, and people will will
will risk their lives to get to this country to
experience this freedom that we have in this country.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
We all take it for granted.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But man, you see a family that arrives here with
nothing but the clothes on their back and they can't
believe they're in the United States of America. So all
the people crapping on this country, Republicans, Democrats, you know,
people who live here. I lived here for a long time.
This is still the greatest joint in the world. And
you can tell just go to the border, and so
(16:15):
many people are risking their lives, nothing on their back,
trying to break into this country. So I'm glad that
German guy. He got a lot of them right, some wrong,
but the last one was great. The Americans are inspired
and risk taking. They have a spirit that I've never
seen anywhere else in the world. People aren't afraid to
change the world, even if it means leaving their comfort zone.
So that's great. That's a winner for us.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
All right, it's Thursday. That's always a cool day around here.
Is good times, good times, all right. Jennifer Lopez is
in the news, bad vibes. Just get divorced from Ben Affleck.
I thought it was going to work the second time around.
Maybe the third time a charm I don't know possible. Ever,
the optimist, Yeah, I don't like to see Hollywood marriages
(17:05):
break up so quickly.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No good for the second time. Yeah, for the second time.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Man oh man, This morning benefer has broken up.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I bet they both hate that. I hate it, and
I'm not a benefer. Yeah, benefer. I'm not involved with
that couple at all. Never met either one of them.
When I see a story on either one of them,
I don't read it.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I move on.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I don't really know what he looks like. He's had
some work done, I can't. I couldn't pick him out
of a lineup. I know that he's done some movies.
I don't really follow either of these two careers. Bybe
It's the lead story in a lot of websites. People
love the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck story.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
This Morning Benefer has broken up. It was supposed to
be there happily. Ever, after the couple reunited after nearly
two decades apart, in it for Lopez filing for a
divorce from Ben Affleck on what would have been their
second wedding anniversary.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I don't know why they thought they could make it
work this second time around. They haven't been together in
two years. In twenty years, twenty years. That seems like
a long time. And you know, I don't know, maybe
you know this, maybe you don't, but people don't get
easier to live with in twenty years. They get more difficult,
(18:28):
They get in, you know, in a sort of in
their own space and their own moods, and they don't really,
they don't become easier to deal with in twenty years.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
And you're speaking specifically relationships, yeah, friendships or you know
that sort of stuff, because right with friendships you can
just leave.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right I'm talking about relationships.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I wouldn't know anything about that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I haven't made it that far with anybody. Okay, well
that's not true. Your first marriage, how long? Thirteen thirteen
years run? Yeah, good for you, buddy.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
TMC reporting Lopez listing the date of the separation as
April twenty sixth, saying the couple had no prenuptial agreement.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
If in fact, wait they had, they had had none.
Speaker 6 (19:12):
Saying the couple had no prenumptial agreement.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Also an M and prenumptial.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Saying the couple had no prenumptial agreement.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
How's your numptial? Bros? How's your numctial? Hey, buddy, how's
your numctial If in.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Fact, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck don't have a prenuptial agreement,
they've just created a lot of trouble for themselves. They're
gonna need attorneys, they're gonna need accountants through all the
financial records.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, but I thought that, you know, if you're not
married that long, I think it's easier.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
And even though it's only two years, yes, that's my point,
just two years.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
They've each made a significant amount of money in these
last two years.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
The duo often apart. In recent months, Afflecks spotted doing
business around Los Angeles while j Lo went on a
European cruise.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Okay, here's what I heard from. I have friends who
are loosely in show business. I mean real loosely, Like
I could list read their whole resume and you'd be like, what,
that's show business. But here's what I heard. He's sober.
Ben Affleck is sober, and Jennifer Lopez is starting an
(20:21):
alcohol or has an alcohol company that she promotes or
it's her own or what she has a piece of.
And they when they go to do openings or you know,
pr for the alcohol they're buying. The couple, not just
Jennifer Lopez, but he doesn't want to go to promote
alcohol on somebody else because he's trying to be sober.
(20:44):
And that's a major fight that they have. That's the
biggest fight that they have. Now, I might be on
the moon here, but I've heard that from two different people. Yeah,
two different people. He's like, I'm not promoting this crap.
I'm not into it. I'm not going to promote alcohol.
I'm trying to get sober. And she's like, oh, come on,
they bought both of us. We got to both show
(21:04):
up so I can get my money.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Then to the Hamptons, where she threw herself a Bridgerton
themed birthday with no sign of vent. The pair shared
an emotional and vultive in Lopez's documentary The Greatest Love
Story Never Told?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Oh, God, hasn't been told twice? Now, that's the name of.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
The book, The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
That heartbreak to both of us on a course to
figuring ourselves out to being better people.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the way? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I think I've forgiven you all the way.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, he asked little. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
The question was figuring ourselves out to being better people.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Here's the question.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the way?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
You think you're forgiving me all the way?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:53):
I think I've forgiven you all the way.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Did he say forgive or figure out?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the way?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Forgive me? Forget?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Do you think you've forgiven me all the Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I see you thought he said? Did you figure me
out all the way?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Right? Yeah? Do you think you've forgiven me all the way?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I think I've forgiven you all the way. I think
I need to forgive myself some things Afflecks.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
She admits a lot of forgiving in that relationship, not
a mighty afflex, noth There's no time for anything else.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Constant forgiving Afflex.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
She admitted, was reluctant to be featured in the revealing
behind the scenes project, initially uncomfortable being her muse.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
I don't think he's very comfortable with me doing all
of this, but he loves me. He knows I'm an artist,
and he's gonna support me in every way he can.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Things that are private I had always felt are sacred
and special because in part they're private.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
I'm with him has that been Affleck speaking. I'm with
him on this support me. I'm with him one hundred
percent here.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Things that are private I had always felt are sacred
and special because in part they're private.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
That's right, He's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Like when people go around and talk about their sexuality
and talk about their politics.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
You don't keep anything private in your life. Nothing's private.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You talk about how much money you got like that
German tourist, you talk about how much you know, what
kind of expensive cars you have. People in this country
just don't know when to shut the hell up.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
So this was something of an adjustment for me.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm sorry, dude.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
We know each other, right.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Jlo and Ben first began dating in two thousand and
two on the set of Jili Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Wasn't he with another woman at that time?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Jennifer Garner Garner, Yeah, not on that, not on that video.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
She was. He was with her. He was with Jay
Jlo j Loo. That's why he's in the video.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
I'm still They quickly became Americas It couple, and we're
due to marry in two thousand and three, but called
off the wedding just four days before.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
That's easy for a four million dollar wedding just make
some calls.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
They later split in January of two thousand and four.
W j Lo opened up about that time to People magazine.
Speaker 8 (24:13):
We didn't try to have a public relationship. We were
kind of the hot couple at the time, and we may.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Have it's so gross calling herself, I know, we read though.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, oh man, we.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, how's it going now? I think there's still the hot.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Couple that not. You don't think so.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, all right, Well that's uh, that's a brag. I guess.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I don't think I've ever said that about me my wife.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I don't think I've ever been to a party. Oh yeah, well,
you know, my wife and I are kind of the
hot couple. Look around, we're the hot coupy. So great
to say about yourself. That is so awesome and so
rich felt that out about your It's not for anyone
else's say, it's for Jennifer Lopez. Yeah, well, you know,
we were the hot couple. Wait, wait what, I think
(25:10):
I know why he's put on the hockey skates.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyo from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Jennifer Lopez is available. She is filed for divorce with
Ben Affleck. So if you got a strong j lou
feeling and you think he got the dough to roll
around at that level, she's available. She's free. Yeah, and
she was the they were the hot couple at some point.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, I think about this. I think I did say
that I gotta apologize. My wife and I go up
to Oregon, where my wife's family's from, and when we
got married, it was a big deal. And I remember
telling people in that small town in Oregon that my
wife and I were the hot couple.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Of that town.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Didn't seem right, but it seemed fair. Did they seem
to agree or yeah, oh yeah, croach please.
Speaker 8 (26:09):
We were kind of the hot couple at the time,
and we may have played into that at the beginning
because it was fun, and then it was not fun.
Then it was like destroying us.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Ah, that's horrible. Not the hit couple, I guess. After
a mom.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Affleck went on to marry actress Jennifer Garner. The couple
had three children. Lopez married superstar singer Mark Anthony and
had twins. No, a little bit something good come in.
Both of those marriages ended in divorce.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh okay, all right, I'm trying to keep up.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
With this star.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
J Lo appeared to find happiness during her two year
engagement to baseball icon Alex Rodriguez, but the star said
Affleck always held the key to her heart.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, and I guess a rod didn't like that.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
You know, when you're engaged to a guy and then
you're constantly telling him that the key to your heart
is with another guy.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Guys turning into that.
Speaker 6 (27:06):
In twenty twenty one, the pair rekindled their romance and
made it Instagram official. She confirmed their status on her
on the Ja Loo newsletter.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Whoo anybody subscribe to? Then she has a newsletter?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, on the j LO, like on the down low.
But the j LO is it like an email or
is it in the mail?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I think it's dropped off on the driveway. You know,
every first out of a car window.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, every morning on four or five o'clock. You know,
hopefully he doesn't get in the sprinklers on the ja
Loo on the what was it called? On the j Loo?
Speaker 2 (27:41):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
The newspaper?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
On her on the ja Lo newsletter, on the j
Lo newsletter.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Yay, somebody's getting married. I get it. I get it.
I get why he's put on the hockey skates.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
The surprise Vegas nuptials came just three months later, but
the Hollywood fairy tale didn't last. Source close to Jlo
telling People magazine she tried really hard to make things
work and his heart broke it. The kids are a
top priority, as they always have been. And it's interesting
to note here Jlo filed for divorce in La County
Superior Court.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You know, I got to I have an issue here
and his heart broke it.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
The kids are a top priority?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Really, is that right?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Kids are top priority.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I'd like to believe that. I certainly would like to
believe that. But top priority means everything is about the kids.
Everything that means staying with the dad, you know, sort
of trying to make it work. I don't know, I
don't know. Maybe you couldn't. I get it, I get it.
But when you say kids are the top priority, the
(28:54):
actions are what really matter here.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
The kids are a top priority, as they always have been.
And it's interesting to note here j Loo filed for
divorce in La County Superior Court. Pro per.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Oh I didn't know that pro per. Oh, so she
filed without an attorney. She was just there by herself, wow, or.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Without an attorney. So it will be really curious to
see how this plays out legally.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
That an returning, even the guys that was that ABC,
that an attorney, that an attorney?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Really wow, they do that?
Speaker 6 (29:31):
That an atturning without an attorney. That an returning without
an attorney. Not an atturning without an attorney.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
That went on for fifteen minutes and no prenup right
and on their wedding anniversary.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Now on their wedding ohh my god.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
You know that one of the downfalls of being a
public person is that you get all the highs when
everything's going great, and then you get dragged into the
news when you're depressed, and you know, you got idiots
on the radio talking about you.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
That's got to be tough. That's got to be tough, man.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I hope her, I wish her well. You know, I
always used to say, you know, before I got married
and before I met my wife, that she needs more
of a guy like me who you know, it's more casual,
racetrack guy, likes to drink every once in a while,
you know, used to smoke cigarettes. I think she needed
(30:20):
a guy like that, you know. I always say, angel,
I swear to God, I'll come down and keep your car.
I'll be back here by about seven fifteen, seven thirty.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Wipe you out.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Oh dare you? I think that she would have been
happier with a guy like me. That enough said, we
would have been the hot couple. I'm coming down to
Orange County right now. Conway Show on demand on the
