Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to The Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It is the Conway Show. All right, it's Monday.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well we're gonna talk about the Vegas in a moment,
but first, Alex Stone is with us because evidently, I
guess you know, Exil Mobil has been saying for years
that we can recycle all kinds of plastic. Turns out
that's not true. And starting January of twenty twenty six,
So a year from this January, no more plastic bags
at grocery stores. You got to go back to the
(00:32):
old school, either paper or bring your own made out
of cloth, but no more plastic. And then two years
from now you won't be able to buy a can
of soup. You're gonna have to go into the grocery
store and pour the soup into your mouth and then
go home. So that's gonna be a little difficult for
some people. I think we'll get used to it. All right,
let's talk to Alex Stone. Alex, how you bob doing well?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Just go into Whole Foods, open up, yeah, ladle, and
just sit there and eat it that way, because that's
how it's gonna be Hey.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Do you go to the uh the all you can
eat or not the all you can eat, but the
self service bars and some of these uh uh.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I haven't been in a long time, but I do
miss a buffet. I do miss those like Sizzler.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I love it. I lost choice.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Is that the one fresh choice? No, that's up in
northern California. It was a soup plant takes old.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
School Sizzler old school you know, Hey, look this is
how old school I am with Sizzler. I consider the
taco bar new at Sizzler about.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
That any ice cream machine at the end? Is that
the Sizzler over in Koreatown? Is that still open?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't think that one's opening more. I know the
one in Burbank closed. It's now a I don't know.
I think a makeup store, you know, a good country
makeup story. Yeah, but that was you know the toast there,
the garlic toast.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Man, that orange toast. And I think this is over,
by the way.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I think waiting in line at a steakhouse to order
it the counter is over. I think people are not
going to do that anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I'm gonna go with you on that one.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah, and then that nacho cheese sauce is the best,
that rice that they had.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That man, oh man, I love the Sizzler we had.
Adam Kroller came in one day and I was talking
about how great the Sizzler is and he said to me,
he goes Hey, Conway, he says, you know, the Sizzler
isn't a steakhouse for a guy who's got his own
afternoon talk show.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Now, yes it is. I knew what he meant, but
it was very funny. Yeah, I still go with yes
it is. That place was amazing. It was great back
in the day. I don't know about toward the end.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But the Malibu Chicken, the you know, surfing.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Turn get the salad bar with it, those colorful sprinkles
all over.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I wonder why they're not with us anymore. Hey, So
what's going on with the State su and x On Mobile?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I like those companies. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
So the lawsuits filed today, and what they're claiming is
that recycling has been a myth the way that it
was presented. And what's kind of weird is you got
both sides. Because you got that side the toy said
it's a myth and they're not going to recycle. On
the other side that's been totally into it. Now they're
going what we've been lied through this entire time. And
then in the the middle, you've got these companies that
are saying, oh, no, you can do it. So that
(03:04):
the state is saying in this lawsuit that they filed
day that since the eighties that Exxon Mobil has led
the push to recycle because Exxon Mobil makes the plastic
pellets that then companies use to make water bottles and
plastic forks and everything else. But the state is saying,
in truth, most of what you put in your blue
recycle bin is never recycled, either it can't be recycled
(03:25):
or just isn't right, and it goes to the landfill anyway.
So today ag Bonta filed the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He said this the company has propped up sham solutions,
manipulated the public, and lied to consumers.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
So they're claiming that this has been a well orchestrated,
decades long campaign to make people buy more plastic because
they thought that they were doing something good and they,
you know, will use plastic plates tonight because you just
throw them away, and well they're gonna get melted down
and change them to something else, and there is a
whole generation of people who went these things said this
is miracle. That can you know that this isn't going
to hurt anybody and just goes away. But he says
(04:03):
all of this has been false, that it goes into
the landfill like everything else. They claim that recycle logo
of what they call the chasing arrows, the arrows going
around a circle that was stolen from paper recycling, that
did actually do a thing, and then the plastics industry thought,
well that works, and they grabbed that. So they're not
naming a dollar figure on this bit. But BoNT To
today said he wants X on mobile. He thinks we're
(04:24):
on the hook for multiple billions of dollars for pushing
a myth that he says that it knew was false.
They got it to be able to sell more plastics,
make more plastics. Environmental groups they filed their own very
similar lawsuit today, but they say that only about five
percent of recycled items are actually recycled or can be recycled,
(04:44):
and most of what we throw in there just goes
into the landfills then breaks down, and you know, cups, plates, forks,
breaks down into microplastics and then get in the water
and soil and breast milk and everything else. But a
little while ago, Exon Mobile sent us a statement saying,
for decades California officials have known that their recycling system
is not effective, they failed to act, and now they're
(05:05):
seeking to blame others instead of suing us. They could
have worked with us to fix the problem, keep plastics
out of landfills. They're not saying that California is wrong
in their claiming this, but they're saying, well, there is
a new way called advanced recycling that the state today
said that they're not on board with that either because
it turns things into fuel and fossil fuels.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
But bottom line, apparently a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Of what we've been putting into the blue bins, yeah,
actually been recycled.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, I get that. You know.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I always wondered how anyone you know, because everything that
you think is recyclable goes in the blue can and
then they pick it up, and who's going to sort
all that crap?
Speaker 6 (05:39):
You know?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
And then these new California rules about you got to
get all food off of it exactly, Oh, come on,
and they're going to come and police it by looking
in your garbage.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And a little known secret. China used to buy our trash.
They used to buy the recyclables, and then they stopped
doing that.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Then they realized I didn't That wasn't so great for
China and it makes it to the great living conditions there.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, why we're buying your trash?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
You ever stand there and go I don't have enough
room in my black bin? Will they ever know? I
just kind of stick it in over here, buddy.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
When it comes to the cans color blind, color blind, everything.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Goes Han's doing in the green bin. It's it's green waste.
You hear your fine.
Speaker 2 (06:18):

ash trade.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
There's a big concert in Vegas over the weekend, and.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I went because I look even the Oh I'm not,
you know, twenty one anymore. I've got that spirit. I'm
twenty one inside. I'm twenty one in my heart. And
I can hang with the twenty one year olds for
one day, not two days, two days with stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
But one day I was.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I was on fire, concert, gambling, drinking, you know, got
back into cigarettes, so that's cool. I bought a cart
and of smokes, so I did old I did old school,
old school.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
And he left of that cart, and that smokes.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
My whole body.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Just it feels like foil running through my veins today. No,
I didn't smoke, but I felt like it. I purposely
sat next to people at slot machines that were smoking, though,
because I love that smell.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Really yeah, I love that smell.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And the guy had his ashtray on my slot machine
when I sat down, and he went to mood.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I go, no, no, no, you're good, you're good, you're good.
Just leave it right there, right yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I thought it was great. I've never been to an
iHeart music festival.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
That was your first one?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
First one? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Wow, man, I can't believe the amount of time and
energy and money they put into this.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's all.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
It's a lot of time, effort, money planning. What's backstage like?
Is it a huge party? It's organized chaos?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:57):
Organized chaos is the best way I can describe show days.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I mean, was anybody cool to you? Any of the art?
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Yeah, I mean I didn't have any bad experiences. Did
you meet Doja Cat? She walked past me? Okay, I
didn't say anything. What about what about Gwen Stefani?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Did you beat her? Nobody? She also walked past me. Really?
How close were we to Gwen Stefani? As close as we
are right now? Really? Five feet?
Speaker 8 (09:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
About okay? All right?
Speaker 8 (09:21):
And what about the weekend? He walked right past me too,
right as he was about to go on stage, and
asap Rocky walked right out of Vegas. Yeah, he said
he why did he show up? He said he was sick.
Oh that probably is true. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
thing going. I thought it was great, the energy of it.
But you know, Beelio said, why didn't I take any
pictures from inside? Well, I'm old school, you know, when
(09:43):
I used to go to concerts on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And Krozer will tell you this, if you took a
picture of something, they throw you out and they keep
your camera. Oh wow, I didn't know the new the
rules have change.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Oh, everybody has his film and concerts and stuff these days.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I didn't know then. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
I mean some artists they want fans to be in
the moment and not be on their phone. But a
lot of other artists they don't. They want the publicity
and they don't really care. They want people to see
what their show is about. So when they come to
your city, you pay tickets to go see them.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You know what, I got tired of walking around the
strip during the day. Not iHeart people, but other visitors,
who are you know, staying in Vegas. I got tired
of people telling me, Oh, you just ruined my TikTok.
You walk through my TikTok.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
Well, it's like John he was just talking about the
other day on the show last week, how when he's
in the car people crossing the crosswalk, everyone's just looking
down at my phone and not paying attention.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
He's like, hey, get off your phone. You're gonna get
killed that way. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, it was unbelievable, But I thought it was great.
You stayed right across the street.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
Yes, I was at Park MGM, so it was great
because I could just roll out of bed and walk
right across the street to the venue at T Mobile Arena.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Did you go to the big like a food court,
the Italian one Italy. Yes, eat, Oh my god, Yes,
that's the greatest idea ever.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I had a breakfast cissant for there one morning.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
They have a pizza bar, they got a pasta bar,
they got a breakfast bar, they got a salad bar.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's unbelievable. It's a little taste of Italy. It's perfect Italy. Yeah,
it was. It was great.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I have a I was born with this. I didn't
perfect it. I didn't do anything to, you know, make
it better or worse. I just you know, you're born
with stuff or you're not. But I was born with
a terrific sense of direction. I couldn't find my way
around there, and I know, and I'm unbelievable direction. I
was walking on the strip one night to get to
(11:34):
the concert, and I'm twisted around. I took a tram,
I went out of one place, I went into the
crystal shops, I went back to the hotel, I went
through you know, the aria, and I'm walking down the
strip and I go, hey, I'm walking the right way.
T Bobilrini goes, No.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
It's exact opposite direction.
Speaker 8 (11:50):
You know what probably got you turned around is in
a couple of months they're going to do the f
one Race in Vegas again, and they're already starting to
do construction on the strip and and prepping for that.
So there's road closures, areas that are closed off, and
you got to go around death ways.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
And even at Bellagio they're putting up a huge grand
stand or a huge uh.
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Yeah, it covers up the fountain and everything exactly right.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
But I thought, look, I love Vegas. It was perfect temperature.
And on Saturday, you know, before the concert, when I had,
you know, a couple hours off, I was with my
daughter and she took a friend of hers and we
went down to the Stratosphere, up to the top of
the Stratosphere.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
That was it was cool.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
You know what I did for the first time, I
rode the New York New York roller coaster. Oh that
looks great. Yeah, it was my first time doing it.
It's not that I don't like roller coasters. I'm not
the biggest fan. But I'll go on a roller coaster.
I got no problem with it. And every time I've
been to Vegas, I was like, there's no way I'm
getting on that roller coaster.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It is.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
But then there was a few of us that were
on the talent team as a little bonding experience, because
not everybody that works the iHeart Festival is from the
La market. Everybody from iHeart all over the country comes
together to work the festival. So we did a little
team bonding with the talent team and we went over
to New York, New York real quick and hopped on
the roller coaster all as a talent team.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It was pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I tried to convince Doug Seckler, my old radio partner,
to go on that roller coaster. He said, I'm a
roller coasters. I hate him. I'm not going on. And
for two days I peppered him and he goes, all right.
He had a couple of drinks. He goes, I'll go
with you. I'll go with you. Get on the rollers coaster.
First hill, we go up. Everything's fine. First incline, first
big jump, big big drop. Glasses fall off. It's the
(13:29):
only pair of reading glasses he brought. Yeah, he has
to get it. He can't he's blind without glasses.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
There were a couple of the girls that wanted to
take their phones on the roller coaster, and the people
who are working were like nopey, put that in the locker.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, no, but it was aligned long for that roller coaster.
H No, not really. We kind of walked right on.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I thought the festival, the food, everything, and man, I thought,
once you got there, you know, because it's such a
popular event, it's gonna take an hour to get in.
But they have it down. Yeah, you know, you walk
right up. They you know, if you have a bag,
they check it real quick. Literally, from when you leave
park MGM or MGM Park whatever that's called until you
get in the concert is less than two minutes.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
Yeah, it's really a seamless process. The people at Timobil
Arena are really great.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
But you get a sense that iHeart and not just
because I work here and I went, but they've been
doing this for a long time.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Everything is down fourteen years of the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
That's Ride fourteen. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Man, it really is great and it's a great promotion
for iHeart too. Everybody in town was talking about iHeart well,
and think about it. There are so many different genres
of music that get played during the concert both nights
that it appeals to everybody. And so I'm leaving Vegas
on Sunday after two nights of concert, and I thought
it was going to take me an hour to get
(14:43):
through Bolagio, an hour to get the car, an hour
for Valet parking and all that stuff. So I gave
myself plenty of time. I walked through Bolagio. It's eleven o'clock,
eleven thirty empty, nobody's there. I thought there was a
fire alarm that went off. I go to Valet parking
to I get the car on the only guy there.
I'm like, what's going on? Where is there? Was there
an earthquake or fire alarm? I didn't get there's a
(15:05):
Raider game. No, yeah, everybody was at the Raider game. Yeah,
nobody was at them around it was I've never seen
Vegas like that before.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
So on the way home from Vegas, took me six hours,
six hours and fifteen minutes to get home, which is
a long time. But I got to listen on on
satellite and on local radio.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
The Dodger game, right, yeah, the Ram game.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
What an hour of LA Sports. That last inning and
the fourth quarter unbelievable. The Rams game, the Dodger game.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
If you didn't see the Dodger game yesterday, they were
losing five to four going into the bottom of the ninth,
Shoe Ayotani comes up hits a home run yep. And
then the next batter Isokie Bets hits a home run
for a walk off homer. And then the Rams they
were they were down by fourteen and the third they
had no shot, and they came back to win that game.
And and I would say seventy five to eighty percent
(15:56):
of that stadium was San Francisco fans.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Yes, undred percent of their money went right the string
Stan Kronky, and they got to see a win for
the Rams.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
It was unbelievable. I mean I was listening on the
way back.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I got to Victorville by the time the Rams made
their comeback, and I was screaming in the car.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
I walked in to my house and the first play
I turned on the TV that I saw was the
punt return from the Rams to put them in field
position to win the game.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh that's great, that's his first part and time he's
ever touched a ball professionally.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And you know the San Francisco came within two feet
of the big lateral move to win the game.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, Yeah, that would have been horrible.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
As soon as I saw the big guy get it,
I was like, oh no, this is about.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
To be something bad, right, And then who ended up
with it? Are you? Or Yeah? So you ended up
with it?
Speaker 8 (16:44):
And then he got a got out into a little
scuffle with what a long ride back for forty nine
ers fans?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, fine by me. Now you get it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You have to have a you know, six hour drive
back to San Francisco, knowing your team blew it with
two seconds.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Left the ram.
Speaker 8 (17:01):
Yeah, quick, quick gambling story because we were in Vegas. Okay,
I was playing craps Saturday night. I guess Sunday morning
I needed a nine. I was playing craps. I rolled
every single number except the nine, and if I hit
the nine, I would have won seven hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Okay, tell for people I don't know what it is.
You have to hit two through twelve without rolling a seven. Yes,
so you hit you got two, you got three, you
got four or five, you got everything but the nine.
But that pays one hundred and fifty to one.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Wow, all you needed is a nine and you would
have gotten seven hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Bucks for your five dollars. Yep, that's a rare occurrence. Yeah,
I was. I've never seen that happen. The table was
very happy with me at the end of the night. Oh,
I beg, yeah, I've never seen that. I was rolling craps.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
They're on Friday night, I guess Saturday morning, and a
guy made about forty or fifty thousand dollars while I'm rolling,
and he looks over to me and he goes he goes, hey,
thanks kid, and he throws me a chip. And I
didn't see what he threw me, right, I thought it
was just like a five dollar chip, and he throws
it to me, and I catch it and I put
(18:02):
it in my stack there and I looked through it
and it was a twenty five dollar chip.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Oh, hey, twenty five bucks.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I made the guy fifty grand and he gives me
twenty five dollars.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Twenty five dollars. Yikes.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I felt like, you know, like that's something you would
give to like a homeless guy, not a guy who
just made you fifty grand.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
So it could have been twenty five hundred.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I made the guy fifty grand, he gives me twenty dollars. Right,
it was insulting. Insulting, all right to Duke of Sports.
Where are you on the social medias at the Duke
of Sports? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all that good stuff. All right,
thanks for coming in buddy, anytime takes along with you.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
All right, there you go.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Of the Ray Charles movie.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
All right, Jimmy Jamie Fox looked exactly like Ray Charles,
talked like him, looked like him. And when you watch
that movie, it's Ray Charles And that was the one
of I think that was the best scene.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
In the movie.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
The music. We're just playing.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
In Vegas over the weekend at the Blagio Hotel and
I going to the room, I noticed that, you know,
they have those house phones and at the Blagio hotel's on
a desk, classy, really clean joint.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I love that hotel.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And right next to the house phone the white phone
where you can page people if you forgot your cell
phone or if you have no reception there, and right
next to us, you know what trash packs are. They're
a little like one inch figurines made out of rubber.
And I saw one sitting right next to the phone.
They looked exactly like Jesus Christ. So I picked it
(19:41):
up and I put in my pocket. And my daughter said,
that's a move, so you could win more money at
the tables, right, And I said, well, I mean kind of, yeah, okay,
kind of, but it's it's always nice to, you know,
(20:01):
to have something. I think when we all drive, like
my daughter, my wife has these little gold wings like
angel wings in a pin. It's on at the end
of a pin, and she keeps it in her car
stuck to the roof for a car and the angel
pins are our angel wings or to like look over
(20:22):
her while she's driving. And I think everybody has.
Speaker 11 (20:24):
A little of that, like most kids like nowadays, like
I know my daughter did. When you get your license
or your first car, a grandparent will usually give a
pin or something like that your car.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
And just pray to God that nobody plows into them
or they don't plow into anybody. So I did that,
and I stuck in my pocket, and I also made
the conscious effort to say that once I have it,
it's mine for life. I don't know how you take
the small Jesus and give it to somebody or throw
(20:58):
it away or do anything.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yours for life unless you lose it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And I will say that I was losing until I
got that little.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Tiny Jesus, stop the losing. Stop the losing.
Speaker 11 (21:11):
Yeah thing, don whow Well, Jesus wants you to win, Timmy.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Well, I don't know. I think Jesus also was on
to me Ryan.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
He's like, hey, look, I'm not gonna give you any money,
but I'm gonna at least, you know, let you walk
away with some of the money you brought with you.
So I think that for me, that's a win in Vegas, win,
win win for me. All Right, let's talk about San Francisco. Sorry,
if you're a forty nine Ers fan, bad bad day
yesterday at what they're calling they call Sofi Stadium. I
(21:43):
think that it's called Levi's South, Levi Stadium South. Yeah,
it's missed up and they all drove down here. I
would say eighty percent of the fans at Sofi Stadium yesterday.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
We're forty nine fans. Wow. If you watch, it's a
sea of red.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
And out of those two teams, which was the last
one that most recently won a Super.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Bowl, how about who won a Super Bowl in this century?
They've not even won a Super Bowl in the century.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
I don't think they've won since ninety five, ninety seven,
ninety five, ninety four, ninety four. Okay, all right, so
they have won since ninety four. So you're I don't know, thirty,
if you're thirty and younger, you've never you don't remember
this forty nine ers winning a Super Bowl and they've
gotten there a few times. Yeah, And I would say
(22:36):
if you're thirty four, maybe thirty four, thirty five, that
you don't remember the forty nine Ers winning a Super Bowl.
That is true. That's a true statement. Sorry, just happens
to be true. But listening to that game all the
way back and listening to these Rams come back, they
were losing until two seconds left in that game. They
(23:00):
were losing the entire way. Forty nine scored first, forty
nine I scored second.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Then the Rams.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
They're down by fourteen, Then they were down by seven,
then they were down by fourteen, they were down by
ten with a couple minutes left, and they tied it
with two seconds. They won it on a field goal
with two seconds left. Unbelievable. All right, That's not the
only news coming out of San Francisco. We've got a building,
that building that's sinking. Condo prices they're plummeting too in
(23:27):
San Francisco. Going to back, we'll tell you about San Francisco.
What's going on with there. Maybe you're from there. A
lot of people from San Francisco moved down to Los
Angeles because they screwed that city up, and now people bailed,
but they didn't want to leave California, but they all
came down here. So welcome to southern California. Please don't
screw Los Angeles up like you did San Francisco. San
(23:47):
Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world,
and you guys messed it up. And I don't know
who the blame is. I don't know what you know religion,
I don't know a political group. I don't know anything
about how it's screwed up. I just know it's not good.
So don't do what you did to San Francisco down here.
Please bring your decay down here. Yeah, welcome to LA
We'd love to have you, but please don't screw this up.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
Keep it clean.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, at least for a little while, right until I
move on. They can do what you want. All right,
we're live on KFI AM six forty. Come back and
tell you about this building that's sinking in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It's wild.
Speaker 7 (24:20):
You're listening to Tim Conwayjunior on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yes, big weekend in Las Vegas for the I Heart
Music Festival.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
That was a good time.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
If you have an opportunity to go next time, I'd
take it. It's a great party. It's a party that
starts Friday afternoon and goes all the way to Sunday.
It is sensational. That's my first one in fourteen years.
Fourteen years have been doing this. Oh, you hadn't been
to one, never been to.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
One, never been to one. And it was great. It's
a good time. Dressed up for it too. That's so rude,
but it's so true.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
That was my twelve dollars sh that I got it
fred Meyer.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
So you did wear the fancy stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Well, I said to my daughter, I said, hey, god,
this is my twelve dollars shirt. And she was, Dad,
that clearly looks like a thirteen dollar shirt. You got
a sweet deal, all right? And I drove home without her.
I here in San Francisco. They are losing a condo building.
(25:26):
It's been sinking for years. There was this sixty minute
piece done like ten years ago. They built a condominium
slash I don't know, mixed usee building in San Francisco
right and downtown, and it's sinking and they can't stop it.
They sort of, you know, they slowed it down, but
still no good, no good, and property values are plummeting,
(25:49):
not only in that building but everywhere in San Francisco.
So if you hear from San Francisco, welcome, Welcome to
Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I hope you'll you'll fit right in.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
By the way, you'll fit right in, because we're not
as crazy as you are, But we tolerate a lot
down here. We tolerate almost the exact same stuff you
guys tolerated in San Francisco. So welcome to San Francisco South,
enjoy yourself. All right, let's find out more about this
sinking condo building.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
This is Millennium Tower, a high end luxury building right
next to the tallest building in San Francisco. But a
person who owned a condo here just took a massive financial.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Hit and they come moody.
Speaker 9 (26:27):
They sold this one bedroom for job.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
That's great, And they come moody.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's that's a guy we had on on Friday. We
were playing some sound of a story on Friday, and
there's a right aid that locked everything up. The only
thing that's not locked up or SODA's and I don't
know water. Everything else is locked up everything. And he said,
you know, when you press the button to get the
guy with the key, he should he goes. They take
(26:51):
a long time, and then and then he goes. They
take a long time and and they come moody, and
they come moody. They come moody, which is great. And
then I was in Las Vegas over the weekend. I
walked by a guy and he yells me, goes, hey,
you come moody.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
That's not great, And they come moody.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
They come moody. That's right.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
They come moody to open up the you know, the glass,
the plexiglass, so you can get your deodorant or your shampoo.
I don't know what you're buying.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
They sold this one bedroom for just over six hundred
thousand last week, when it first sold a decade ago
for over a million.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Wow, somebody took a bath condominium sold a decade ago
for a million. Now we're's six hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 13 (27:33):
The price that you're seeing for the condos as the
millennium is a reflection of the unique situation that is
happening to this building.
Speaker 12 (27:41):
Stephen Wong is the president elect of the San Francisco
Association of Realtors. The unique situation he's referring to is
this building is sinking and tilting.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh, two strikes, two strikes. It's not only sinking, it's tilting.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
Is this building is sinking and.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Tilting, sinking and tilting. Welcome home.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
So it's not sinking evenly? Is what is?
Speaker 11 (28:05):
Yeah, it's not evenly, just completely level dropping.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
You know, they should own it and just rename it sinking.
And you know the Leaning Tower of Frisco. I think
they like when you call it that, don't they?
Speaker 6 (28:18):
They love Frisco?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
I don't know the Leaning Tower of Frisco.
Speaker 12 (28:23):
Engineers found the structural issues back in twenty sixteen and
began what led to over a million dollars in repairs
to stabilize it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
They try to put these big, huge steel beams under
it and a lot of cement to stabilize it, and
it's sort of slowed it down, but still it's leaning
and sinking.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
Because the repair is relatively new, there is, you know,
some level of agreement, and this agreement even among experts
on on on what the final outcome will be.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
Chris giangy DK is a professor of engineering at cal
State East Bay. He's been studying how engineers have tried
to fix this.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Building assessing their risk for a home buy. It becomes
more complex. I'm more expensive, that's.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Right, because when you disclose in the agreement to sell
the place that your condo is sinking and leaning, a
lot of people bailed.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
The structural issues of the building are a big reason
why price is free fault.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Is that right? Is that right?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Because the buildings sinking and leaning, it's going to fall
over or sink. That's the big reason. Oh okay, I
guess that's right. I didn't put two and two together.
But this guy cleared it up for us. Thank yeah,
thank god, this guy nailed it for us.
Speaker 12 (29:29):
The structural issues of the building are a big reason
why price is free fault the real estate agency. There
are other reasons why people are avoiding property altogether. In
downtown San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, because they're moving here. They're moving here. The weather's better.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
We're still as crazy as people in San Francisco, so
you're not going to come to a huge MAGA rally
here in Los Angeles. We still tolerate the stuff you
guys tolerated up there, but it's a little warmer and
you got to let a little more space. You can
stretch out down here.
Speaker 13 (29:58):
More people we're able to work from home since that pandemic,
and that's why the demand for downtown or condominium residences
has dropped.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Off, dropped off, it's dried.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Up, has dropped off.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Not many. You're coming to downtown like.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
They used to, and they come moody.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
Not men. You're coming to downtown like they used to.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
And they come moody, and they come moody.
Speaker 12 (30:22):
Wank says. A lot have moved out of the city
following the pandemic.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, they're they're here. They're in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Look at Sofi Stadium last night, packed with San Francisco fans.
Speaker 12 (30:31):
Perhaps to homes more structurally intact. When you combine those
two things, it makes sense why a condo's value here
dropped dramatically.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
But Wang says.
Speaker 12 (30:38):
Relators are optimistic about the future of San Francisco housing.
He says with the building stabilized, now was a good
time to buy for someone interested in moving to the city.
Speaker 13 (30:47):
For people who want to be here, wants a network here,
wants to be able to walk to the office to
Michelin Star restaurants. This is still a prime location to live.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Oh please, it's still a prime location to live. Who's
he talking to It's sinking and.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Tilting prime location.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
So it's well, okay, maybe he's onto something. It's a
prime location to live, but it's not the prime building
to live in.
Speaker 13 (31:16):
This is still a prime location to live.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Okay, I get that. All right.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Maybe he's right it's a prime location, not that building,
but the area.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
He says.
Speaker 12 (31:27):
More people are slowly working in the office again, and
that should make living here more attractive.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
That's right, that's right, all right. Well, San Francisco's loss
is our game, and we welcome everybody who lived up
there and is now down here.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Croche, I hate to ask.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I didn't follow any games last night other than the
Rams game goes on the road.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
What did the Cowboys do?
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Losing badly?
Speaker 11 (31:52):
I think it was like twenty five or twenty eight
to three going into the fourth, but they came back
and made it a game and by three points.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Who they play The Baltimore Ravens. Oh, the Ravens. The
Ravens are a good team.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yes, yes they are.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah, it shouldn't be a shame to that.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Yes, and the Cowboys are not. So I have that
going for me. Yeah, we did.
Speaker 11 (32:17):
Jen and I were out. We were doing the artwork
yesterday and doing some stuff. We doing some meal prep
and the kitchen. So not watching a whole lot. We
watched a little bit of what was the game?
Speaker 3 (32:27):
You on?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
The toilet Saints game?
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Sorry, thinking same same process.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
You know.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
The one thing I've noticed about the NFL it's really
really hard to win. Yes, every team is great, or
you know, every every team can beat every other team.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Look the Chiefs. Someone's lost by night to the Falcons.
Speaker 11 (32:48):
Yeah, and there have been a few like upsets this
year that what.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's great out there. I love
the parody. It really does make it interesting. Yeah, you know,
in basketball based there's not really parody. You know, there's
always the same four or five teams that make the playoffs.
But in hockey there's parody. And in football, I didn't
know the Chiefs have won two in a row. I
get that, but it seems like this year, with all
(33:14):
the injuries, it's really a fun to watch.
Speaker 11 (33:17):
And not just parody, but but within each game, it
seems like it's it doesn't matter kind of what the
score is. Yeah, right, there's a lot of tight games.
It's great, it's real. I mean, Jen's not a big
football person to watch, but you know, Sundays an NFL
season comes around, she'll sit down and watch with me,
and pretty frequently we come across a game that's like, hey,
(33:38):
this game's actually pretty good and it's not two teams
you would necessarily expect to watch, right, And then.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
To watch Travis Kelsey's bedridden depression on the sidelines is great.
That's great. Something's going on between him and Taylor Swift.
Something's going on. I re live on i AM six
forty Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
