Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is
the Conway Show. All right, let's get some energy going.
Come on, everybody, come on, need the energy, need it going.
I think this is the very first Monday we've had

(00:20):
in two months where we're all here. I see steph Oush, Crozier, Angel, Belly, O,
and myself here the Fearsome five Sons all the year.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, wow, something happened.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
How did that happen?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
You notice your croz I.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Was talking to Belly about this and I'm she seemed disinterested,
So I'm gonna talk to you about it. But you know,
when anyone here goes on vacation, we always have a
countdown clock, like, oh this is your Thursday, Oh, this
is your Friday. And then when they leave, you're like, well,
what are you gonna do on the outside? And you
get out there, you're going for two weeks? Well, right,

(01:00):
as will you? Did you think about us at all?
It's like leaving a lot of people around here. Not
me because I love this job, but a lot of
people are like it's a prison.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
You leave and you're like we'll see on the outside.
Sometimes I just left.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
I have to say, when you're leaving for a two
week vacation, walking out that door and then seeing the
building in the rear view.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Rear, it's like San Quentin. It's beautiful. I went to Westfield.
I called I still called it the pang Applaza over
the weekend because I haven't been there in a while.
And I'll tell you why I went to Westfield. Okay,
my daughter turned nineteen on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Happy birthday, thank you, and she got.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Some gift cards for her birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
You know, Grandpa, mom and dad, and you know the
whole run and much like a conway, we need instant gratification.
We can't sit on anything nice. We've got a you know,
a gift card bank. Next morning, seven am, let's go, go,
go go. Well, let's buy stuff. So I took her
to the Glendale Galleria. She wanted to go to Glendale Galleria.

(02:06):
Now I'm not a fan of the Glendale Galleria not.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I love the stores.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I love the what is it called their Americana. Oh yeah,
I love the Apple Store. It's hugere's two of them there.
I love the stores. I love the food court. I
love the security, I love the cops, I love everybody
in that mall. When I can't stand is the effing parking.
Oh oh my god. I pulled into the one big
parking lot near Target and drove around for fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Couldn't find a spot.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
So I went into a second parking lot near the Maracana,
drove around there for you know, it says two hundred
and twenty two space available none it was more accurate,
and then drove around that parking lot and I said,
so if I said, hey, look I'm a I'm better
than most. I'm a three garage Max guy. And then
we throw in the towel. So we went into another

(02:58):
parking lot near King Taco full couldn't get in, and
I turned around and said, so we're throwing in the towel,
We're not going. I said, I'll take you to the
Bank Applaza if you want, but I'm not going to
this mall anymore on weekends. I love Glendale. I love
the people in Glendale. I just can't park the e
think car.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
It's even getting to it from the field, that's right,
because the nightmare it's just basically in a neighborhood it's
like right as crowd as it is in the parking lot.
Getting in and out of there is bad. Once you're there, man,
it's beautiful, beudful there.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Can you imagine though, living in that area where every
Saturday and every Sunday you have to plan on your
escape from that area and going back to that area.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Man, oh man, I don't know how they do it.
So we left there.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Forty one minutes later we arrive at Westfield. And I
didn't know this about Westfield. I still call it to
Banka Plaza. I didn't know this. But they have a
whole new BELLYO. You'll be into this, and so will you. Angel.
They have a whole new area of just high end stores. Yes,
it looks like Las Vegas. It looks like like a

(04:08):
shopping mall in a high end casino. But there's a
whole new, beautiful shopping area just for people with money
and there. And let me let me tell you some
of the stores there. Uh be Eleciaga, Valenciaga. Okay, now
that one, uh Birberry, there's another one there, uh Vlargie

(04:38):
b V l A l g A R I blarging, plugging.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I don't know what that is what is that? You
know today?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
It's a it's a brand jewelry and stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
You know, you see it Bulglary, but they made it
that you like a V what okay? And then they
have Cartier nailed it, Dior got that one, Ferragamo, and
then Gucci. I pronounced this wrong in the store. My

(05:13):
daughter corrected me. I guess it's not Hermes. No, no, no,
what is it?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Then?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
How about spelling it with an A? And then we
have Louis Vatan I know that one, Jimmy Cheu, Demon Marcus,
which was closed on a Sunday, which is odd, and
then all the other stores but not my type of stories.
Now they have a Tiffany there, but it's all in

(05:42):
one new section of Topanga Plaza and they have a
beautiful food court there as well. I mean, it's unbelievable
what they've done with that place. And that's where I
learned how to skate on hockey skates. My dad taught
me when I was like six five or six years old,
how to skate on hockey skates in that ball.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
In that ball, that's.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Where I learned how to ice skate.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Also, I used to have ice skating lessons on Saturday
mornings for figure skating.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Okay, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I remember the big glasser and everything smelled like rubber
because of the floor and hot chocolate everything. That's all
you could smell rubber and hot chocolate. And it was great.
I played hockey there, I mean well, I was on
a team. I played much. But man, that was a
great mall with the ice rinking there and the little
uh you know, and and it was a Sears there.

(06:28):
There was a May Company. It was a really cool mall.
A Montgomery Wards was in that mall as well. Man,
that was good times. There was an Orange Julius I
remember growing up in that mall. That was a great mall.
That was great. And then Jolly Rogers as well. Anybody
remember that that restaurant Jolly Rogers with the big kitch
chairs that you couldn't see anybody at your table. But

(06:50):
that was a great mall.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
Then.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Now it's a little different. You got your Ben Bridges there, right.
Does anybody know the slogan for Ben Bridge, your personal jeweler, Benbridge?
How about Kevin's Jewelers? I ain't know the slogan for that,
not not Ben's. No, every kiss begins with K. Yeah,

(07:13):
and then what about Daniel Jewelers? You know that one?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, every divorce begins with these slogan. But I like
that Ben Bridge?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Uh and and Kevin's Jewelers and uh and uh and Daniels.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I bought my wife stuff from there.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I'm not I'm not too proud to say I I've slipped,
you know, slid in there and saved like a couple
hundred bucks off the exact same piece of jewelry that
was offered at at another jewelry store. I think they're
they're onto something. Every kiss begins with K. What a
great slogan.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
How do you beat that?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
You know, ben Bridge? You're it's your personal jeweler? Is
ben Bridge knocks it out for? You want to chain
ben Bridge?

Speaker 5 (07:58):
You were talking about all these new high ender stores
that are also in there at Topanga and Sophie's at
that age, does she care about that stuff?

Speaker 1 (08:05):
She makes fun of the people walking in and out
of that store. Good setting me get up my knees
there one second. Thank God, thank God, thank god.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I didn't raise an a hole. Yeah you raised her eye?
Oh my god, Oh my god, thank you God, thank you.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
Lord, God, thank you so much. Thank you, thank you.
Thank It was just the luck of it. It was
just total luck. Sheer luck that she's not into the
high end stuff. I mean, she's an American Eagle type
of gal. That's where I bought her gifts of Big
four and she went into American Eagle gap.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
It's break time what it b yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Break okay?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
All right, But anyway, I brought up to Panga Plauza
because it's in the news again.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
We come back. Not good, not good.

Speaker 8 (09:16):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Mo.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Kelly's worked here for how many years? Thirteen?

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Okay, thirteen? How many favors have you asked me zero?
I'll say one when he came out to my remote. Oh,
they went the bowling out? Yes, okay, all right, well
that was your first year, yes, okay, and you've asked
me zero since then? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
I can't think of any other.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
So when you stuck your head and say you can
ask your favor, I'm like, buddy, I owe you a billion.
And somebody's listening to the program right now. Yeah, evidently
you were talking about Topanga Plaza.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's right.

Speaker 9 (09:48):
And my martial arts instructor, Sean mcclenn listens to you
all the time.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's great.

Speaker 9 (09:54):
And he was saying that he started playing hockey there.
It's just the universality of KFI. We are all connectical
on all levels. Yeah, oh that's great. How old is
he fifty seven? Okay, so we're But we could have
played the same time you played there. I played hockey there, young,
I played for Burbank and we are away games, we're
at Panga.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's that's way too. I could have played. Yeah, probably
I can. Now he's your instructor. Huh can he kick
your ass?

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I would hope, so, I would hope. It's one of
those things where I taught you everything. He would say
to me, I taught you everything you know about everything
that I know exactly.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Hey, while you're here, can you do this segment? What's up?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Let's throw some headphones a bella you gotta set headphones.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
We're talking.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
We're talking crime. Oh, we got some here, we got
some here, all right at Westfield. We were talking about
Westfield because there is a ton of crime still in
the valley. There is a problem at Westfield and it's
another one of these smashing grab deals going on in Westfield.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh boy, all right? What's going on here?

Speaker 8 (10:54):
And this?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I know that you know, you and I our stories
overlap occasionally, but nobody comes.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Is the MTA like you? Nobody?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Well, it's I guess it's just by default because I
rode the MTA. Oh god, yeah, so I felt just like,
wait a minute, I know what it feels like. I
know what it's supposed to be like. I shouldn't have
to worry about my safety or sitting in a urine
stained seat every single day.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
And you wrote it every day. You had a monthly
pass every day. Yeah, all right here it is Westfield.
Crime is everywhere.

Speaker 10 (11:25):
At least six people are in custody after a smashing
grab robbery at the Westfield to paying them all. This
happened on Friday. Police eight twelve people ran into several
stores and stole more than ninety thousand dollars worth of merchandise.
In a matter of minutes, police track down six of
the suspects in South LA and Huntington Beach.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Huntington Beach, they nailed them in Huntington Beach, in South LA,
all over the place.

Speaker 9 (11:45):
That doesn't surprise me at all, if only because you
know the security, the cameras.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
They'll find you. Yeah, and now they have the license
plate readers.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
In the San Fernanda Valley. Yeah, they better not go
anywhere through San Valley.

Speaker 11 (11:56):
For our adults.

Speaker 10 (11:57):
Two others are juveniles. They were rested and charged.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Sounds like they're going to the movies for our adults.

Speaker 10 (12:02):
Two others are juveniles. They were resting and charged with
robbery and possession of stolen property.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Please.

Speaker 10 (12:08):
This was a second robbery at them all in the
past two weeks.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
So I said to you on Thursday, I said, hey,
this this high speed chase. I think maybe it's Friday
is going through Inglewood. Did you ever hear them buzz
by always? And you said, oh, one, because I'm right
next to the sheriff station on Imperial Highway.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
It's less than a mile from a house.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
And so whenever they're leaving and they're screaming out, is
that or Guardina ped always?

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Now? The good news is they're that close, right. The
bad news is they're always chasing after somebody.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I took my daughter to see Harry Styles at the
what is It's not the Great Western Form anymore, the
Kia Center, I believe kom k Form. And we left
there and I saw that there was a lot of
traffic going to the four or five. And we lived
in Burbank at the time, so I wanted to hit
the one on the one ten freeway.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
So drive to the one ten.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I saw a street all blocked off and there was
a street takeover, and I was with my daughter and
her friend, and I said, listen, girls, I'm never going
to get another opportunity to see this. Let's pull over
and watch this. And my daughter's like, Dad, please, you know,
I think we should get home. This work research. But
I was excited to see it. You know, there is invitations.

(13:27):
These things are formal. There's invitations out there. Yes, a network.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
I'm not in it. As much as I'd like to
see that. I've never been invited to one of those.

Speaker 9 (13:35):
There was one right outside my housing development on Normandy
and how quickly.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
It amassed.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
People were showing up. It was coordinated because they all
got there within five six minutes. Wow, hundreds of people.
Now it's very dangerous, but as far as I'm concerned,
you get what you get right, and you can clearly
hear them from your house absolutely, And.

Speaker 9 (13:54):
What was doing They're doing donuts. You're hearing people screaming
and cheering them on. Yeah, the loudest part of it.
And what's louder a street takeover or that concert at
so far? Well, the concert is so far because that
went out four miles.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
In each direction. It went all the way down to
Manhattan Beach to the water.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I didn't even think that was possible that you could have.
I mean, if you're right next to the speaker, then
how do your ear drum survive?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (14:18):
And I worked in the music industry for a good
fourteen fifteen years, and that was something I was very
cautious of at all times, because most, I'll say, people
who work in the music industry have hearing problems later
in life.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I don't know. I don't go to concerts like that
anymore for that reason.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
All right, speaking of the music industry without saying any
names obviously, have you heard any names A list names mentioned.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
For those with a P didty? Yes?

Speaker 9 (14:42):
Wow, And they are definitely a list names bigger than
P Diddy.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
But any speculation. But the powerful people party with powerful.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
People, right, and the lawyer in Houston is giving them
a lot of them an opportunity to pay off these
people before.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
They go to court.

Speaker 9 (14:59):
It would be in their best centrist that your stars,
if only because you can't get your reputation back, Yeah,
you can't at all.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
And even if you come out and some of these
A list celebrities are coming out and trying to preempt
it and deny it, that is a in a lot
of people's case, in a lot of people's mind, that's
that's an admission of guilt.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Well, the only problem is you don't know what video
is out there.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
You don't know if you were videotaped without your knowledge
and consent, right, and you may have just been participated
in garden variety or g sex, nothing illegal, but you
still don't want that out there. How deep do you
think and how much damaging is this to music, to music,
the business, nothing, to individuals everything?

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Really, you don't think music's gonna be effected. No, No,
people are gonna still bother their music.

Speaker 9 (15:39):
And it really doesn't matter as far as because a
lot of these individuals are older. You know, if you're
let's say, I don't want to use anyone's name, but
if in the Diddy world he's fifty four, he and
I were born the same month. But people around him, yeah,
he was like November seventh, I'm November twenty six. The
people around him are comparable in age. It's unlikely, with

(15:59):
the exception of someone like Justin Bieber, who he mentored,
you're not going to find too many people in today's
music industry caught up in this.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Most likely.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
All right, Moll Kelly, tonight at seven o'clock, any preview
of the Big Show tonight.

Speaker 9 (16:13):
We're going to definitely talk about what happened in Topanga Canyon.
We're going to talk about what happened last night.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
If Docter Stinas get out of pockets.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
That got crazy last night.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's true, And there was some fights in
the parking lot, but it wasn't as bad as the
news made it out to be a friend mind when
he said he didn't see any fights.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
But unfortunately Dodger stadium has a history. That's right, it
can't be overlooked. That's right.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
And the one person they arrested for drinking in that
parking lot, Shannon Farren.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
That's kind of surprising.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
She got a ticket, and I don't think she was arrested,
but I think she got a ticket for drinking like
a I don't know, a hard mics or big mics
or one of those you know, stupid drinks. No, she
usually drinks harder liquors. All right, I'll be listening tonight
and nice to see it. All right, there he goes
Moe Kelly tonight at seven pm. Right here on K
six forty.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
So over the weekend, I found myself at Topanga Plaza,
which is the Westfield shopping wall out there, and I
only went there because Glendale was so packed. Well, I
got a question for everybody listening right now, how does
everybody have so much money? I heard everybody was broke.

(17:32):
I heard everybody had money trouble. Nobody had any money,
rench too damn high. Nobody can afford anything.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Not true.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Somebody's lying to us. The mall was packed. I couldn't
find a parking spot. And I went on Sunday at
four o'clock knowing that fifty five thousand people would be
at Dodger Stadium, sixty five thousand people would be at
Sofi Stadium, and I could slide into that mall and
nobody would be there. Well, there were another fifty thousand

(18:04):
people at Glendale Galleria. So if you have the money
for the mall, if you have the money for Dodger Stadium,
and that was not a cheap ticket yesterday, a couple
hundred bucks minimum to get into Dodger Stadium, or if
you went to Sofi Stadium to watch the Rams kick ass.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Okay, they end up.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
With a losing score, but it was a great game
and they're set now to win the super Bowl. One
in four is there're a lock a lock for the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
So I don't know, put a couple bucks on if
you got it.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
So Sofi Stadium's full, Dodger Stadium's full, and the malls
are all full. Everybody is spending money. Are we spending
money we don't have? I don't know, Probably I am
I yeah, okay, I get that. Here's another sign that
we have money. Every time Costco announces that they're selling
gold bars, they sell out in ten in it people

(19:01):
are buying, spending twenty six hundred dollars in change for
an ounce of gold from Costco and they can't keep
it on the shelf.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
They can't do it.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
You go to try to book a cruise right now,
good luck. Even with all these storms, even with all
these ships, it's very tough to get a cabin because
they're sold out. These ships usually leave harbor with eighty
five to ninety percent occupancy.

Speaker 11 (19:28):
That's unheard of.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
And this is not cruise season. Kids are back in
school and cruise ships should be empty, but they're not.
They're full. Air travel another one. Everyone says we're broke
as a country. Try to get on a plane. You'll
be sitting next to somebody on your left, and you'll
be sitting next to somebody on your right. No more
empty roads as you travel across country. Hotels another one.

(19:53):
I was in Las Vegas two weeks ago and buddy
of mine was coming out and he said, hey, give
me a resid at Blasio. I'll just pay for it
there and I said okay, So went to the front
test I said, hey, can I get a room Buddy's
coming up by a late check in? And she said
for when I said tonight and tomorrow night, Friday and Saturday,
and she said, we're sold out. Blagio is sold out

(20:14):
in September, not the summer, not in the winter, not
on fourth of July, not on Christmas, not in New
Years In September sold out. You go to an Apple
store and there's not one or two people in there,
there's one hundred. The Apple stores are full, people buying
Apple phones, Apple computers, Apple watches, the eye watches. It

(20:39):
seems like everybody has money, even though we're told over
and over and over how broke we are as a country.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
I don't see it now.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I asked my wife, because she's smarter than I am,
And guys say that, right, even if guys don't believe that,
like I believe it, But guys usually say that your
wife is smarter than they are. I don't know why
that's become a thing, But since I've been alive, even
in the sixties, I always heard, oh, you got to

(21:09):
ask my wife. She's much smarter than I am, and
so we just went with it. But my wife is
smarter than I, And I said, how am I going
to the mall where I can't find a parking space?
How is Dodger Stadium sold out? How is Sofi Stadium
sold out at the same right around the same time.
That game started at one o'clock at so Fi and

(21:29):
the Dodger game started five So there could be somebody
that went to both.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
And I bet there is. I bet there's somebody listening
right now that went to both. Good for you.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
So those two stadiums are sold out. Every ticket for
Sofi Stadium is at least one hundred and fifty two
hundred dollars minimum minimum. Then you got parking, you got food,
maybe a shirt. I don't know what you're buying. I
don't know, helmet, Maybe you're going for it. And then
so those two stadiums are sold out and all the

(21:59):
malls are full, all of them. How do we have
that much money in this in this state? Are we
just the outlier? Do we have money and the rest
of the country's broke? That might be it, that's possible,
But man, you drive around Los Angeles and every single
day you drive, you see cars that are that are

(22:20):
worth over one hundred or one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars on the freeway. Belly, O, you travel fifty miles
one way?

Speaker 6 (22:27):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (22:29):
That is correct.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Do you see high end cars on the freeway all
day long? Yeah? I bet you're like me. I think
we've discussed this before.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
If I'm behind a high end car, a car that
I think is worth over one hundred thousand dollars, I
change late.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Absolutely. I refuse to be behind me.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
I do not want to be a wreck because if
I get hit and I hit that guy forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
I can't afford to be behind them.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
That's right. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I got to split. And
you know what's really weird.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
When I used to drive when I was younger, and
I got my license when I was sixteen, I used
to drive on the freeways and be care free about
somebody coming into my lane. Now that's all you worry
about when you drive from Irvine to Los Angeles. I'll
bet every single time you pass the car, you think,
is this guy going to be the guy that hits me?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Is this guy going to come in my lane?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Because everybody's texting, everybody's driving, and people are coming into
your lane. I see it all the time, people coming
into your lane and then they do that quick jerk
moving oh and they get back into their lane.

Speaker 10 (23:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I see it all day long, Yes, all day long,
and never I never. I try not to drive next
to somebody. I always have to be in front of
him or behind him. But if I drive next to someone,
it makes me nervous he's gonna hit me. And I
feel like I was almost hit like forty times yesterday
on the freeway. I am nervous now driving because everybody

(23:49):
texting and driving.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
I'm nervous the people behind me, I am. I'm constantly
like looking in my rear view. Marriage is to keep
them from hitting.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Me, right, That's why I like to drive in the
fast lane of the slow lane, so I can jump
to the emergency l in emergency lane when somebody doesn't
stop in time. And that's happened a couple times as well.
But I don't know where we got the money. How
is this country broke? And how are these stadiums sold out?
The malls are sold out, costco is full, can't get
a cruise, air travel is booked, hotels are sold out,

(24:20):
and everybody has an Apple phone or and I watch,
how did this happen? How did this happen? And why
isn't that in the news. More that everybody is loaded.
Everybody is either bumping a credit card or they've got
money everybody.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
But yet when you read the news.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Or watch the news, or here are these politicians, everybody
talks about how broke they are. Maybe we just avoided
it in this state. That's possible, that's possible. We might
be the exception. But man, are there are people out
there with money who especially the high end watchers, guys
and gals walking around the two hundred thousand dollars watch on.
I saw a guy yesterday with it a diamond encrusted

(25:02):
wrist watch. It must have been worth two or three
hundred thousand dollars. And then real quickly, then we'll move
on from the malls. But I was sitting waiting for
my daughter to come out one of these stories. I
think it was American Eagle, and she goes in. I
sit outside. I'm on TVG trying to win a race,
and a guy comes up and he sits next to me,
and he says, are you familiar with the religion?

Speaker 11 (25:23):
Mother?

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Love?

Speaker 2 (25:24):
I think is what he said to me or love mother,
but many familiar with then Yeah, well there was a
wasn't that one of one of those Netflix stocks? Oh
it is okay?

Speaker 1 (25:34):
And I said I'm not. And he said, can I
talk to you about my religion? And I said, buddy,
I love you. I think it's great. I think you
had a hard sell to try to convince people sitting
outside of a store waiting for their daughter to change religions.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I'm not your guy. I don't want to waste your time,
but I wish you good luck.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
You got the toughest job in this mall to walk
up to a guy who is waiting for his daughter
and you're going to vincent to change religions. I don't
know how you do it. I don't know, but God
bless you. I think if that's part of your religion,
God bless you.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
But man, that's a.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Tough cell, very tough cell, to get a guy to
change his religion while he's at the mall. That guy's
got the toughest job in Tobanka Plaza. All right, that's
our Tobanka Plaza. I'm segment brought you, brought to you
by It's always brought to you by at Friday, Mondays
at four we do Topanga Plaza. It's being brought to

(26:31):

changing results. Make your point today at Advanced tair dot com.

Speaker 8 (26:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I saw an advertisement. I know people in sales are like, oh,
what's going on here? And for Ragu, you know that
sauce Ragu old school man. Yeah, better around since nineteen
thirty seven, coming up on the one hundredth year, another
thirteen years or so, twelve years, twelve years. Ragu has

(27:10):
an advertisement out there on the internet that says, Ragu
cook like a mother. He said, all right, okay, I
think they left the last word out cook like a mother.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
And then there's another.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Word there double on TNDRA.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I guess so, but you know what Ragu I will
say this I tried about I don't know many three
months ago. They have a new sauce out there called Kettle.
Ragu Kettle. It's the high end Ragu.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Oh really good, pretty good.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
But I still haven't had a jar sauce that comes
anywhere close to homemade. They still haven't been able to
put that together yet I mean even the high end jars. Yeah,
you know they're they're good. It's got that little tinge
in there that tsha. Yeah, nobody made this at home, right,
and I as soon as somebody does that, as soon

(28:04):
as somebody's be able to be able to put a
real pasta sauce in a jar and sell it in
a store, billions of dollars, billions of dollars. So what
is the high end one? It came out of New
York that was pretty good. God, it was everybody or
something is right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Rao's sauce is unbelievable.

(28:30):
Probably the best. Yeah, they are the best. But still,
you know, if you go to Rao's restaurant, it's better
than Rao's jar.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Michael's of Brooklyn, that's like the best tomato sauce. That's
a good one. Yeah, let me write that down.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I went to it an Italian restaurant in New York
last time I was there, I don't know, six years ago.
And the restaurant's called How's your Sausage?

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Oh, what a restaurant? What a name?

Speaker 3 (28:55):
That was the name of a restaurant.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah, How's your Sausage? And everybody remembered it. I was
he had a great sausage. He made a great sausage.
It was great sausage. But it's it's a name that
people remember. I saw people wearing shirts in New York.
How's your sausage? I guess it had. It was about

(29:17):
the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
But REO's is good.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
But I think one of the best Italian restaurants in
Orange County. And again i've I've been to very few
is Romo Romo Roma, Romo Roma de Italian? Yes, where
is that Intestine.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Favorite?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
God? I went there on sort of a somber day.
It was Michelle Cube's father's service, so people were sad.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
What a life he lived.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
I don't know if people know this by Michelle Cube
now Michelle Kelly, but Michelle Cube the former producer of
the Bill Handle show. Her her dad helped build the
Space Shuttle, the Space Shuttle, and she he couldn't talk
about his work forever. She would come into the shop
and he couldn't tell her what he was doing. He

(30:12):
was working on the Space Shuttle. That is a great guy.
So after that awesome service, there remembering this beautiful man
who who I really contributed to the United States and
the world. We went to Roma d Italia, and that
was the best meal I've had in a long, long time.
They served There must have been sixty people that went

(30:34):
to dinner or at lunch after the service. Every single
meal that came out was correct, and every single meal
that came out was hot. I don't know how they
did that, sixty meals hitting the table at the same time.
Everything's hot. That is a special restaurant belly.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
We can do it. Can we do a live remote
from there?

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Yes, Ah, that would be great, that would be great.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
That would be fantastic. Let's do Yes, I'll bring the
rag gou hook him up.

Speaker 8 (31:04):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Anyway, So I thought of a commercial, and again I'm
not a political guy, but I thought of a commercial
for Kamala Harris. It opens with a an above a
wide angle airshot of Dodger Stadium, and then the helicopter
flies over Sofi Stadium and then it flies over to

(31:27):
Panga Plaza, Glendell Galleria, Arcadia shops at Tustin, Huntington, Beach
Ball on a Sunday, they're all full.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
And it ends with who says We're broke? Kamala Harris.
I approved this message I don't.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
I would, I would start banging on that that it
seems like everybody's got money. I know we don't, a
lot of us. You know, a lot of people don't,
but it seems seems like everybody has money. Everybody's always
going out and doing stuff. Now I understand it might

(32:06):
be all on credit cards.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
I get that. I get it, and you'll just have
to figure it out later. I get that.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
You know, all right, speaking of money, money, money, money,
October Black Friday in October. I hope you're ready for it,
coming early.

Speaker 11 (32:20):
Every Friday in October.

Speaker 12 (32:22):
Major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target kicking off fall
sales events in a bid to entice price sensitive shoppers
ahead of the holidays.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Are you a price sensitive shopper? Bellium, I think you
are right.

Speaker 11 (32:35):
Price sensitive shoppers head of the holidays.

Speaker 12 (32:38):
Retailers know that consumers are feeling the pressure of inflation and.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
People the same like it. In LA seems like everybody's
out there spending.

Speaker 12 (32:46):
And people are shopping earlier as a result because they
want more time.

Speaker 11 (32:50):
To compare prices.

Speaker 12 (32:51):
With Thanksgiving falling one week later in the calendar than
last year, many brands are pushing early promotions to bring
in revenue during the critical holidays season.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
It's sort of a nice thing to do to everybody.

Speaker 12 (33:03):
Shoppers are expected to spend a record two hundred and
forty one billion dollars this year.

Speaker 10 (33:08):
What.

Speaker 12 (33:10):

forty one billion dollars this year.

video online where he dressed up as like a I

He was like a.

Either computer or an air conditioning repair man or whatever.
