It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. Conway Show. John
Robinson has passed away. One of the biggest names in
local sports here. Coach for USC for a long long time,
then went to the Los Angeles Rams, then back to USC.
(00:21):
And Petros Papadakas, who played for USC, is with us.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Always nice to hear your voice, Buddy.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well thank you. Tim.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Were you on that team where no where they beat him?
Were they they won the Rose Bowl?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
No? No, my brother was I was on that team
where he got fired?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Oh a mid season?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, end of the year, end of the year answer.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Pat Hayden, the guy Ike Carrott, USC Heisman winner Mike Garrett.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Didn't Pat Hayden play for John Robinson.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, he played for John McKay. He might have played
for j Rob if Jay Rob was like on the staff.
But I see John Robinson wasn't the head coach, so
you called him j Rob. When he was the coach,
we called him j Rob, j Rob John Robinson.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm sorry when he said when you were playing for
cow and he said, if you have a gun, I
don't want to see it.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Do you think that that was when I came back
from CAL. Oh, that was at USC.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
After I left CAL. That was my very first meeting
at USC. Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I see at USC, it seems more likely that the
guys would come in and correct carrying.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Correct, although we did have some some Oakland guys at CAL.
But yeah, that was my first year at USC, which
was nineteen ninety six. I ended up being ineligible. I
played in ninety seven, I played in ninety eight. Wow,
I got hurt in ninety nine, and I played in
two thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Did you ever tell the story on the air about
one of the teams stealing the cocaine from another team?
I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean,
really like the like the the swimmers?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Oh oh oh, the different Yeah, within No, I haven't,
and I'm not going to. But I'll tell you. I'll
tell you a story I will some other time. I'll
tell you another story about Robinson. You'll like this, Okay,
this is a great story about John Robinson. It comes
from Kennedy Polamalu. Who is you know Troy of fame? No,
(02:22):
it's his uncle. But the reason that Troy ended up
at USC is because of Kennedy. And he was a
star at USC playing fullback out of modern day, but
before Troy was, and he was. He's a famous running
back coach in the NFL and college level. And I
played for him. I had the honor of playing for
him once at USC. But he played for John Robinson,
(02:43):
and he was a big recruit, and he was being recruited,
and he lived with a family's family Samoan. But he
lived with a family like a white family that had
him playing football at modern day believe it or not,
that even happened in the early eighties. All right, And
if they don't just bust him in from Corona, this
(03:06):
guy's from American Samoa.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Right, I understand that there are players coming from outside
the you know, California.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Play first parentle it's when he got here. So wait,
is that right? Yeah? Oh yeah, I mean we're talking
way back anyway. Okay, So Kennedy's being recruited John Robinson
in a very famous old USC coach named Dave Levy
was with him, and they're at the surrogate parents' house
or whatever you'd call it, and the phone rings, you know,
(03:34):
against the wall, some kind of rotary phone and Dave
Levy goes and gets the phone, and then he comes
back into the living room and Robinson's talking to Kennedy
and the parents like, you know, we love it, Kennedy,
we want to hear you know, and he says, Coach,
you gotta take this. So coach goes into the kitchen
(03:55):
or whatever and gets on the phone, and Dave Levy
comes out to the living room and he says, the
collected family and the player. You know, John Robinson's brother
is dying. He's in the hospital and he's not going
to make it, and he wants you so bad to
be a USC Trojan Kennedy that he's not at the
(04:18):
hospital while his brothers his brother's last moment, so you
can sign with USC. And Kennedy of course, you know,
in the moment, my god, please yes, I'll commit, you know,
Jay rob comes out of the room, Kennedy commits to USC,
signs wrapped up, signed, sealed, delivered. You know. Three four
months later, Kennedy's sitting there at USC is a football
(04:39):
player on scholarship, and asked Dave Levy, whatever happened to
coach his brother? You know, did he die? Did they
bury him? He says he doesn't have a brother.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
That's so.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And you know every time you fell for that, you know,
we do that to everybody, but you know, you.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Back then you could get away with.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah. I mean, that's why we had a guy on
the team, literally two guys on the team that one
tried to blow the other one out of a jail
in like rural northern California had a j c one
was jailed and the other one tried to blow him
out of jail like gunsmoke, and they ended up at
(05:38):
SC after that. Oh god, you know, the Internet would
not allow that. No, you would vet these people. But
that was before so it was a different time. You know. Well, look,
you know I was in a metal hospital. I mean
I was barely takeable.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But oh I didn't know that way they recruited you
in a mental hospital.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
No, not direct.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Did they do on you.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, nobody wanted me that bad. I don't think their
catlike he told me. They overall, I have to say
that I'm getting a lot of text about all those guys,
Marv gu Dave Levy and many of them were LA
Rams coaches too. John McKay of course, legendary Hall of
Fame coach at John Robinson and many many Hudson Howke,
(06:30):
you know, many many other guys that I can't think of.
You know, they all drank at Julie's Trojan Barrel.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Where's that?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It used to be right there on Figaroa or right
at the end of Flower one or the other, right
before the Coloria.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Julie's Trojan Brojan Barrel.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, that's gone now. I think it was owned by
the Obradovich family, a famous volleyball family for the South Bay.
And I'm getting a lot of texts like all those
guys are drinking in the sky and telling stories right now,
and it's kind of heartening because you know, those are
all the coaches that I grew up with at my
dad's restaurant and guys, you know, up late night telling
football stories. And it's sad to see him go kind
(07:08):
of one by one.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Did they ever at the Trojan Barrel?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Trojan Barrel? Is that where they started the Elephant Walk?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, I believe that was started closer to twenty eighth Street.
You know, in my time, we are not usc football
was not embedded with the frats. They wouldn't even let
us into their parties. We had mostly black guys, right,
you know they weren't that into that, right, But the
elephant walk, I've always I've never gotten really big. You're
gonna get all these guys in here petrols.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I mean, honestly, I never I never did a lot
o oh is that because you'd chow up with the
whole team.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I'd show up with the different dudes and they'd be like,
you know, right, anyway, different different deal, different times we're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I've never gotten a straight answer on whether the elephant
walk was authentic or not.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know, I don't know. I'd never joined a fraternity,
Like I said, you know, I was playing football.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So can I can I can I tell you what
I thought the elephant walk was. I guess it's a
bunch of frat guys who got drunk. They were going
to a u USC football game of the coliseum. You know,
we've done this before, I know, but it's a different audience,
you know, audiences changed.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Did you play my song again?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The Yes, we did at four o'clock on Friday, but
we'll play again. The other Petros sung steps the Timmy Ton.
But the guys at the fraternity would grab each other's
privates and walk to the game.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, but what does the guy do in the back?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
He's just walking or the front. He's walking too. He's
not grabbing, he's just no, he grabbed a guy in
the front. Grabbing the guy in the back is free Langer.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
And I'm sure you have plenty of X Greek system
types that listen that can tell you exactly what it
is and what it entailed. You didn't join it fraternity,
of course, not why because I played football at USC.
It wasn't frowned upon him those days. I wasn't good
looking enough and.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I didn't know those people. But you never went to
like I've always been an outsider. Tip right, you didn't
go to sorority parties.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I tried or whatever. But but you know, if those
chicks hooked up with us back in the day when
I was at USC, they were slumming it, right, they'd
go around the back. You know. They didn't want Blake
or Blair or anybody to see him leaving the front
unless you scored a couple of touchdowns. Oh, I see,
But then you know the way the season would go
if we would lose two or three straight.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know, the quality the Dwarfund fishing, you know what
I mean? Yeah, Carol Burnett Show and dwarfun Fishing. You
think it's you think it was that kind of a different.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It was difference.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You know you ended up having you know, I mean
you went from a cafe do to hotel Figureoa.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
But I also the USC sorority girls were pretty hot.
They they I imagine a lot of them weren't. Weren't
big enough for your liking.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
For me personally? Yes, Oh there's always big enough girls.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh there is even.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Looking up and down the street at USC. Carls Junior,
you got the Chanos Tereso Burrito's, Carls got the McDonald's.
Was that a name of Roma?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Was that a name of one of the sororities, Carls Junior.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No, Although somebody put a big cow in front of
the cappas when I was there, the Kappa cows, and
they are various.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I bet they were all right. Hold them on Seid Petros?
What with us?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KF I am.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Six forty Petros Papadankas is with us from the Petros
and Money Show?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Why are you guys off tonight. Why aren't you one tonight?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I was on, we were on for a couple hours.
But the Clippers are playing.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh do you do all Clippers now on that station?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I guess yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
What about Monday night football Thursday night football?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Well, if the Clippers are playing when Monday Night football's going,
we're gonna get preempted by the Clippers. Hey, how about
la Is playing tonight too on AM eleven fifty our
sister station, the Patriot. Who are they playing the Boston
University Terriers.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Here here or there?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't think they'd go there?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Oh really, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That's not probably a place. Ucla basketball one of the
blue bloods in the history of the sport.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
So the bigger schools dictate where the smaller schools go.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
They generally wouldn't visit the Boston University Terriers. Yeah, I
guess the answer is yet.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Okay, Well that's cool. What about the alignment now in football?
Does that leave like cal and Stanford in the dust
where that nobody cares anymore?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Excuse me, Well, Stanford's not having a good year, but
cal is they've gotten a little bit more attention than
they normally get playing in the.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
AC what's called what's wrong with UCLA football? They were
a dominant force in football when I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They've won three straight and they're playing better than USC.
Okay that they're probably going to go to a bowl
game and beat USC.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But you know what I'm saying, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
No, the season started abysmally and they alienated a head
coach they paid a lot of money to and he
left to become a coordinator at Ohio State. But they've
won three straight.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Was the coach that got fired? Was that Chip Yost?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Chip Kelly?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Chip Kelly. I get those guys confused.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
UCLA's won three straight. They're probably going to make a
bowl game, and they're probably going to beat USC. USC,
on the other hand, is underperforming again and really upsetting
their donors and fan base.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Are you still you and your dad? You still guys?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You still feel comfortable walking around Sam Pedro with those
Maga hats on?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, dark Maga. Though he may or may not have
sang God Bless America at Trump's golf club and a
Rancha palace verd is that after he may or may
not have Wait, does I wasn't there?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Does he know Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
My little brother used to work for Trump for years.
You know, before that he was a politician. He was
like a reality star, and he owned and still owns
that golf club in Ranchipalace, Tarrannea, No Tranna, I really
hate you. Ever seen the movie A Bridge Too Far?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But Tarannea is a different property than Trump's. Okay, Tarrannea
used to be marine land, as you know, that's right
right next to it, Avaloney Cove and the big w
from It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world.
Much of that area Portuguese band and then the beach
club is experiencing the land movement problems that we experienced
(13:52):
the same around the early eighties.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Okay, since you brought plump.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Property is a different property. It's closer to Sampedro.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So my little brother used to be his food and
beverage manager. What is the Trump restaurant background? What's the
Trump property? Well, it used to be called a golf
club called Ocean Trails, and they built it. I don't
know who built it, but the eighteenth hole fell in
the ocean. Oh no, and then Trump bought it and
reconfigured the course. And it's not a bad bar. I
(14:21):
gotta admit, what's what? Since you brought it up?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
When are they going to finish ports of call and
make it into that destination that everybody wants to go to.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What are they going to make ports of call great again?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yes? What are they going to make ports of call great?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It's thirty first to February twenty twenty eight. Oh, really
far out on thirty first of fed so on the
calendar and.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Mark in time for the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I guess. I mean they've built something down there and
people send me things and say have you seen this?
Have you seen this? And the answer is no. But
they've had some concerts down there in different events. I
guess I don't know you who. I did an event
on the on the deck of the uss Iowa the
other day. Really, yeah, that was cool, the San Pedro
Sports Walk. Do you know that You know who Susie
(15:07):
Wilds is?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You know that name? No, she's going to be Donald
Trump's chief of staff.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh? Oh, Dick Edinburg's daughter, Pat Somerol's daughter. Yeah, yeah,
the same deal.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
But Pat somemmer All was a great sportscaster.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, U C. L A. Padres and national stuff, very
famous sportscaster and and the I believe may have told
me to f off once. I'm not really, but he was.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
He was really good with John Madden. Yeah, absolutely, they
were great together.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well some aer All was lacronic in nature. I don't know.
He was like the first guy to say, you know, touchdown,
touchdown before No, but just really kind of understated. And
he let the crowd tell the story. They let Madden. Yeah,
well Van had a little more, you know. He let
Madden do the jumping jacks. He was a real straight shooter,
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I was told this Mayor had a.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Few sea throws while he was called of the Games too,
if you know what I'm saying. I was told this
a couple of sea throws. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I get, yes, yes, yes, the sea throw. Yeah, a
bottle of water.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh no, now you're getting impatient with me in three.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Now, okay.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I was told this a couple weeks ago that by
one of Vin Scully's friends, that Vin Scully was a
big Republican. And this guy who was a friend of
his said, I wouldn't say that in LA because you'll
be ridiculed for that. And so Vin Scully kept his
politics to himself. But here's the question for you. If
(16:33):
Vin Scully didn't build up enough good will for him
to say who he believes in politically, then who has.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Well people got mad at Van a few years ago,
but most people did and it's just stupid a couple
of people in social media. But he was doing an
event with our own an event with our own Tim Kayes,
like a Q and a type of deal. And somebody
asked him about it. Was, you know, when the NFL
was doing their different protesting and things like that nature
and somebody asked him about it, and Vin was very plain.
(17:02):
He just said, you know, he used to call NFL games.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
He's a big Republican.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, well I think he called the Dwight Clark game.
And I don't know what his beliefs really were or not.
And I but what he said was, you know, I
don't watch the NFL anymore. And that was it. That
was enough to piss some people off.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You know, he said, he said he didn't watch baseball
if the Dodger has got eliminated, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I mean, look, when it's your job and you don't
have to do it, you don't do it right. Like
if you don't have to follow something that you have
to follow for your job. When when that job part
of it is over, you get on with your off
season and try your best to interact like somebody who
doesn't make a living watching people bunk into each other
(17:48):
wearing plastic outfits.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Do who Peter Benchley is? He wrote Jaws? No, I
know Jaws? Okay, he wrote Jaws. He wrote the book Jows.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yes, he said, the toughest thing in the world is
to convince your wife while you're staring at the ocean
that you're actually working.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, that's what I say about watching football. I say
I'm working. I don't want to do.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
This, That's right. It's very hard to explain that to women.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I knew the guy that wrote the play Grease, you know,
like you know, with Travolta and all that. Yeah, I
actually I spent my twenty first birthday with him and
his wife at the time, who was a showgirl.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Really.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yes, his name is Jim Jacobs and you can look
it up. He wrote Grease and uh. He was always
kind of bummed out because he thought himself like a
really serious playwright. But his most famous work was like
shamal Emma Ding Dong Bong Belong.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You know, isn't that where they met. Wasn't John Travolta
into the Showgirls as well?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No? Not as much thought he was. No, No, he
spent a very interesting evening once at my father's.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You got to say, you got to tell something. Come on, buddy,
what happened to the old Petros?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
He was in my dad's office, and then he wasn't
a very brief period, and then he pouted in the
in the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wait, so John Travolta went to your dad's restaurant.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh yeah, I used to come all the time. But
one time I think he went in the office.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Buddy, you're bearing the lead.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Takes people out of the office and like as a
cigar or a drake.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
We could have talked about John Robinson tomorrow idea.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And then he poudered in the lot.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Buddy, All right, hold on, I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I was just a young guy. Hold on not doing
this to me.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Hold on, hold on. I have a family, I know,
but this is more important. Petros is with us from
the Petros Money Show. When he can we come back.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
He had his dad at a restaurant called It's All
Greek to me in sam Pedro, one of the best
Greek restaurants in the world.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
And for me, it's what it's called. It's all Greek
to me.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And they had the best lemon drop soup in the
world and rice and we come back while ask him
about the celebrities and went to his dad restaurants. I
didn't know John Travolta was a huge, huge, a Greek guy,
a Greek food guy.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Never ever heard that.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Maute.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Scott Show Petros Is with Usmith of Petros and Money program.
How long you guys been together? You and Matt Money spent?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
How late does this show go?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It goes on nine Now. Hey, Moe Kelly has a
great promo that they run from his.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Show about the iPhone.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
No about the dog going into a Whole Foods. He said,
every time he goes to the Whole Foods he sees
two or three dogs. He said, he loves his dog,
but his dog will never see the inside of of
a grocery store.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, I saw it last night at Trader Joe's. A
woman walk around with her dog.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
At my work. The person that's at the highest pinnacle
of the college football broadcast world is a guy named
Kirk Herbstreet And he just had this long, arduous kind
of ballet with his dog, bringing the dog everywhere with him,
God making everybody in the broadcast booth and all the
(21:15):
different shows he works on take care of the dog.
And the dog passed. I guess that I was sick.
And then they did like a big montage and he
was crying on TV.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
About the dog, And did the dog die while he
was on the air.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No, No, I'm sure they taped it at some point.
You know, we'll see the death because ESPN is just
that way. But yeah, to me, I understand that people
have a deep and very meaningful relationship with their pets
that we can all just take at face value and
just leave us alone about it. Please, Hey, when you
get gas at night, but I don't want to see
(21:51):
your dog at the football field or anywhere else unless
your dog is a working dog that has an actual purpose.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Right, he keeps the dog at home. And when you
get gas at night at a gas station, and I
know Texico is your gas station.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Well it used to be my Texico.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes, it's my Texico. Don't you always like it's my Texico,
that's my Texico.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Don't you?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
When I when I get gas at night, I always
feel like I'm going to get shot.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, I don't think that's a very good way to
go about life. But yeah, I live in a lot
of fear, just personally. I have for many years.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
But me at a gas station at night, I always
think I'm a good shot in Burbank anywhere, you know,
downtown La, Hollywood doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Well, you got to keep your head on a swivel.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You do. Yeah, you gotta keep looking around.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Keep your head on a swivel, and protect your neck,
like the Wu Tang clan says.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Or do you like that guy did in Columbia where
he started spraying the gas the people attacking him and
they moved on.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well, yeah, because it's not the gas that lights you
on fire.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But I love watching when I go on the internet,
you know, like TikTok, YouTube, whatever, and I see the
immediate justice of people of criminals in South America or
Central America.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You know, guy tries to steal a personal woman and
another guy comes out and just kills him.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You like that? Or like or a car just slams
him against the wall that breaks his spine right there
on that that's right? Yeah, you like the f around
and find out meme, that's right. Yeah. The guy's in
like a sweatsuit. He's showing the grath and he looks
at the class like and here right here is ma
f are out and over here earth where you find
out that's right? Now? I understand that instant karma. Yes,
(23:34):
I understand. We live in a world where we just
don't want instant gratification like two minutes and the microwave
isn't enough, but we want to see somebody bloodied and
destroyed the moment after they commit a.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Crime, right, and and like the funniest home videos. The
United States are pretty tame, but there are some other
countries where they're wild.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Like a guy will lose his.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Arm, yes, no doubt. You know. In fact, that used
to be the punishment for feeling. In Indonesia, it might still.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Be they cut your hand off, Yeah, I think so. Yeah, Wow,
that's a deterrent.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, well you would think so. And then you know
you're walking around with one hand and everybody knows that
you're a thief.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
All right, buddy, you got that ed? What what was
the start? And does the cher ducan still continue?
Speaker 3 (24:20):

Thanksgiving either with my family who's Greek, or with my

Papa dacres taf herna sounds restaurant was not called It's
all Greek to me.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
For sure it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I'm reasonably certain, Okay, But you had a lot of
It would have been a pretty cheesy name.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You had John Travolta, many more people than you could
even get O. J.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Simpson combined.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I served George Harrison.
Speaker 3 (24:57):

Oh so there is a drop of lemonon. There is

More than a drop crozier. Okay. A lemon drop is
a drink for lonely women that are drinking in Marina
del Rey and are hoping to be picked up by
a divorce a spend a night in a soulless high
rise condo. You noticed that, only to wake up empty.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You know when noticed that when mom's and dad's divorced,
that mom starts to date the guy that dad never was. Like,
he plays tennis, he goes on cruises, he dances. She's like, Plus,
he's got a business that nobody can really define. He's
got like some equipment in a yard.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah he's he's in marine salvage. He used to be
in some kind of military. But you can't. You have
no idea what he does.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
But and he's good looking. He's got in an European accent.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
He plays bridge and most of those guys worked at
the restaurant a.

Little paddle ball.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
And he's also and he's spending the exes, the ex
husband's money because he makes nothing.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
There's no money in marine salvage.

But he's got a good car, like an Mr. Two.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Right, it's sort of on the fritz every once in
a while.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
But he got a friend at a body shop though
in Wilmington.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
And that's where he is all the time.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Every time you call me, he's at the body shop
with his buddies with.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
A great view of the Artesia Water treatment plant.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But I really appreciate com on. We needed the laugh today, buddy.
It was a bad day and we needed the laugh.
Thank you, Thank you, and God bless everybody. And I'll
see you tomorrow. All right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
There you go. Oh that guy is so great man.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
He does not give an f about anybody or anything.
That's what makes him so great, funniest man in radio
by far.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Listening to Mo Kelly's a promo with the dog in
the grocery store. I know we talked about it earlier.
I'm talking about it again, and I hope that that
more radio shows and more people shame people for doing that.
Don't bring your dog to a grocery store, all right,
your dirty ass, big stinky, dumb dog in a grocery store.
(28:21):
F that dog. Those dogs should be at home. If
the service dog, I get it, bring them in, enjoy yourself.
But just to have your your dog rolling around with
you in a pets in a grocery store.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
No good, No good. I don't even like my I've
seen my restaurants too.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
We're at celebrating my wife's fiftieth birthday at a restaurant
and she comes back from the bathroom and she trips
over a dog's paul or steps on it. Dog barks
and like lunges at her, like what's going on. It's
like having a you know, a birthday party to zoo.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I don't know. Something, somebody's got to teach people how
to behave. Maybe it's me.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't know, Maybe it's me, whoever it is, but
it's got to be somebody got to stop bringing those
dogies into grocery stores. Just leave in the car. It's
not hot outside. The dog can handle the car for
a little bit. All right, let's talk about the Dodgers.
Dodgers are great. They won the World Series. Yankees didn't,
Mets didn't, San Diego didn't. The Dodgers beat all three
(29:23):
of those teams, all three of them to get to
the World Series. They won the World Series. And now
we might have a gondola. Let's you know, the busy
bodies ruin it for everybody.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Local residents, we're given an opportunity this weekend to voice
their support or opposition to a Dodgers Stadium gondola.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Oh, that'd be nice to have a big gondola, big gondola.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
So the meeting was held at Union Station in downtown La. Y.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, these are all the people.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Who are against the gondola because they got nothing else
going on in life, so they're against everything.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
So the meeting was how that Union Station in downtown
La yesterday and supporters say arriving and exiting Dodger Stadium
is pretty much like Karma Geddon because of the sheer
number of vehicles.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's right, And there's only like four or five ways
to get in and out of Dodger Stadium. If you
go to an Angel game, there are forty two exits
and entrances to a Angel Stadium forty two Dodger Stadium five.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
I think people opposed to the gondola express concern over
the route being built. You're culturally sensitive. Valvera Street with
its delicate Adobe buildings. We don't know how construction could
harm these culturally significant buildings, and I think that we
have to preserve them.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
You know what, the people who own the restaurants and
shops at Alvera Street, they want the gondola or the gondola.
They want after the Dodger game for people to be
dropped off so they can spend money on those stores.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
As many ways as we can get cars off the road,
the better it is for the community, the better it
is for the parks.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Recent poll found Elle County residents support the gondola project.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Did you hear that? Hear that percentage?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
So?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
A recent poll found seventy two percent of Elli County
residence support the gondola project.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
It would operate.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Seventy two seventy seventy two percent, seventy two percent.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
It's a lot of people with zero emissions and would
be the first aerial gondola transit system to include an
electric battery backup system.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Who cares what the backup system is? Why would that
even be in the report? God, there's a backup system?
Who cares? Nobody cares?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Nobody? We have times list, No, we don't. All we
gotta get out of here. Moe Kelly is coming up next.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
By the way, that gondola segment was brought to you
by Advanced Hair. How about that one day treatment, life
changing results. Make your appointment today Advanced haare dot com.
Mo Kelly next right here on KFI AM six forty

It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. Conway Show. John
Robinson has passed away. One of the biggest names in
local sports here. Coach for USC for a long long time,
then went to the Los Angeles Rams, then back to USC.
(00:21):
And Petros Papadakas, who played for USC, is with us.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Always nice to hear your voice, Buddy.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well thank you. Tim.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Were you on that team where no where they beat him?
Were they they won the Rose Bowl?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
No? No, my brother was I was on that team
where he got fired?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Oh a mid season?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, end of the year, end of the year answer.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Pat Hayden, the guy Ike Carrott, USC Heisman winner Mike Garrett.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Didn't Pat Hayden play for John Robinson.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, he played for John McKay. He might have played
for j Rob if Jay Rob was like on the staff.
But I see John Robinson wasn't the head coach, so
you called him j Rob. When he was the coach,
we called him j Rob, j Rob John Robinson.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm sorry when he said when you were playing for
cow and he said, if you have a gun, I
don't want to see it.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Do you think that that was when I came back
from CAL. Oh, that was at USC.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
After I left CAL. That was my very first meeting
at USC. Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I see at USC, it seems more likely that the
guys would come in and correct carrying.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Correct, although we did have some some Oakland guys at CAL.
But yeah, that was my first year at USC, which
was nineteen ninety six. I ended up being ineligible. I
played in ninety seven, I played in ninety eight. Wow,
I got hurt in ninety nine, and I played in
two thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Did you ever tell the story on the air about
one of the teams stealing the cocaine from another team?
I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean,
really like the like the the swimmers?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Oh oh oh, the different Yeah, within No, I haven't,
and I'm not going to. But I'll tell you. I'll
tell you a story I will some other time. I'll
tell you another story about Robinson. You'll like this, Okay,
this is a great story about John Robinson. It comes
from Kennedy Polamalu. Who is you know Troy of fame? No,
(02:22):
it's his uncle. But the reason that Troy ended up
at USC is because of Kennedy. And he was a
star at USC playing fullback out of modern day, but
before Troy was, and he was. He's a famous running
back coach in the NFL and college level. And I
played for him. I had the honor of playing for
him once at USC. But he played for John Robinson,
(02:43):
and he was a big recruit, and he was being recruited,
and he lived with a family's family Samoan. But he
lived with a family like a white family that had
him playing football at modern day believe it or not,
that even happened in the early eighties. All right, And
if they don't just bust him in from Corona, this
(03:06):
guy's from American Samoa.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Right, I understand that there are players coming from outside
the you know, California.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Play first parentle it's when he got here. So wait,
is that right? Yeah? Oh yeah, I mean we're talking
way back anyway. Okay, So Kennedy's being recruited John Robinson
in a very famous old USC coach named Dave Levy
was with him, and they're at the surrogate parents' house
or whatever you'd call it, and the phone rings, you know,
(03:34):
against the wall, some kind of rotary phone and Dave
Levy goes and gets the phone, and then he comes
back into the living room and Robinson's talking to Kennedy
and the parents like, you know, we love it, Kennedy,
we want to hear you know, and he says, Coach,
you gotta take this. So coach goes into the kitchen
(03:55):
or whatever and gets on the phone, and Dave Levy
comes out to the living room and he says, the
collected family and the player. You know, John Robinson's brother
is dying. He's in the hospital and he's not going
to make it, and he wants you so bad to
be a USC Trojan Kennedy that he's not at the
(04:18):
hospital while his brothers his brother's last moment, so you
can sign with USC. And Kennedy of course, you know,
in the moment, my god, please yes, I'll commit, you know,
Jay rob comes out of the room, Kennedy commits to USC,
signs wrapped up, signed, sealed, delivered. You know. Three four
months later, Kennedy's sitting there at USC is a football
(04:39):
player on scholarship, and asked Dave Levy, whatever happened to
coach his brother? You know, did he die? Did they
bury him? He says he doesn't have a brother.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
That's so.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And you know every time you fell for that, you know,
we do that to everybody, but you know, you.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Back then you could get away with.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah. I mean, that's why we had a guy on
the team, literally two guys on the team that one
tried to blow the other one out of a jail
in like rural northern California had a j c one
was jailed and the other one tried to blow him
out of jail like gunsmoke, and they ended up at
(05:38):
SC after that. Oh god, you know, the Internet would
not allow that. No, you would vet these people. But
that was before so it was a different time. You know. Well, look,
you know I was in a metal hospital. I mean
I was barely takeable.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
But oh I didn't know that way they recruited you
in a mental hospital.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
No, not direct.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Did they do on you.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, nobody wanted me that bad. I don't think their
catlike he told me. They overall, I have to say
that I'm getting a lot of text about all those guys,
Marv gu Dave Levy and many of them were LA
Rams coaches too. John McKay of course, legendary Hall of
Fame coach at John Robinson and many many Hudson Howke,
(06:30):
you know, many many other guys that I can't think of.
You know, they all drank at Julie's Trojan Barrel.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Where's that?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
It used to be right there on Figaroa or right
at the end of Flower one or the other, right
before the Coloria.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Julie's Trojan Brojan Barrel.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, that's gone now. I think it was owned by
the Obradovich family, a famous volleyball family for the South Bay.
And I'm getting a lot of texts like all those
guys are drinking in the sky and telling stories right now,
and it's kind of heartening because you know, those are
all the coaches that I grew up with at my
dad's restaurant and guys, you know, up late night telling
football stories. And it's sad to see him go kind
(07:08):
of one by one.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Did they ever at the Trojan Barrel?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Trojan Barrel? Is that where they started the Elephant Walk?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, I believe that was started closer to twenty eighth Street.
You know, in my time, we are not usc football
was not embedded with the frats. They wouldn't even let
us into their parties. We had mostly black guys, right,
you know they weren't that into that, right, But the
elephant walk, I've always I've never gotten really big. You're
gonna get all these guys in here petrols.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I mean, honestly, I never I never did a lot
o oh is that because you'd chow up with the
whole team.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I'd show up with the different dudes and they'd be like,
you know, right, anyway, different different deal, different times we're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I've never gotten a straight answer on whether the elephant
walk was authentic or not.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
You know, I don't know. I'd never joined a fraternity,
Like I said, you know, I was playing football.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So can I can I can I tell you what
I thought the elephant walk was. I guess it's a
bunch of frat guys who got drunk. They were going
to a u USC football game of the coliseum. You know,
we've done this before, I know, but it's a different audience,
you know, audiences changed.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Did you play my song again?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The Yes, we did at four o'clock on Friday, but
we'll play again. The other Petros sung steps the Timmy Ton.
But the guys at the fraternity would grab each other's
privates and walk to the game.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, but what does the guy do in the back?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
He's just walking or the front. He's walking too. He's
not grabbing, he's just no, he grabbed a guy in
the front. Grabbing the guy in the back is free Langer.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
And I'm sure you have plenty of X Greek system
types that listen that can tell you exactly what it
is and what it entailed. You didn't join it fraternity,
of course, not why because I played football at USC.
It wasn't frowned upon him those days. I wasn't good
looking enough and.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I didn't know those people. But you never went to
like I've always been an outsider. Tip right, you didn't
go to sorority parties.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I tried or whatever. But but you know, if those
chicks hooked up with us back in the day when
I was at USC, they were slumming it, right, they'd
go around the back. You know. They didn't want Blake
or Blair or anybody to see him leaving the front
unless you scored a couple of touchdowns. Oh, I see,
But then you know the way the season would go
if we would lose two or three straight.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You know, the quality the Dwarfund fishing, you know what
I mean? Yeah, Carol Burnett Show and dwarfun Fishing. You
think it's you think it was that kind of a different.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
It was difference.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You know you ended up having you know, I mean
you went from a cafe do to hotel Figureoa.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
But I also the USC sorority girls were pretty hot.
They they I imagine a lot of them weren't. Weren't
big enough for your liking.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
For me personally? Yes, Oh there's always big enough girls.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh there is even.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Looking up and down the street at USC. Carls Junior,
you got the Chanos Tereso Burrito's, Carls got the McDonald's.
Was that a name of Roma?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Was that a name of one of the sororities, Carls Junior.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
No, Although somebody put a big cow in front of
the cappas when I was there, the Kappa cows, and
they are various.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I bet they were all right. Hold them on Seid Petros?
What with us?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KF I am.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Six forty Petros Papadankas is with us from the Petros
and Money Show?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Why are you guys off tonight. Why aren't you one tonight?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I was on, we were on for a couple hours.
But the Clippers are playing.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh do you do all Clippers now on that station?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I guess yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
What about Monday night football Thursday night football?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Well, if the Clippers are playing when Monday Night football's going,
we're gonna get preempted by the Clippers. Hey, how about
la Is playing tonight too on AM eleven fifty our
sister station, the Patriot. Who are they playing the Boston
University Terriers.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Here here or there?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't think they'd go there?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Oh really, yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That's not probably a place. Ucla basketball one of the
blue bloods in the history of the sport.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
So the bigger schools dictate where the smaller schools go.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
They generally wouldn't visit the Boston University Terriers. Yeah, I
guess the answer is yet.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Okay, Well that's cool. What about the alignment now in football?
Does that leave like cal and Stanford in the dust
where that nobody cares anymore?
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Excuse me, Well, Stanford's not having a good year, but
cal is they've gotten a little bit more attention than
they normally get playing in the.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
AC what's called what's wrong with UCLA football? They were
a dominant force in football when I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They've won three straight and they're playing better than USC.
Okay that they're probably going to go to a bowl
game and beat USC.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
But you know what I'm saying, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
No, the season started abysmally and they alienated a head
coach they paid a lot of money to and he
left to become a coordinator at Ohio State. But they've
won three straight.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Was the coach that got fired? Was that Chip Yost?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Chip Kelly?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Chip Kelly. I get those guys confused.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
UCLA's won three straight. They're probably going to make a
bowl game, and they're probably going to beat USC. USC,
on the other hand, is underperforming again and really upsetting
their donors and fan base.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Are you still you and your dad? You still guys?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
You still feel comfortable walking around Sam Pedro with those
Maga hats on?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, dark Maga. Though he may or may not have
sang God Bless America at Trump's golf club and a
Rancha palace verd is that after he may or may
not have Wait, does I wasn't there?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Does he know Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
My little brother used to work for Trump for years.
You know, before that he was a politician. He was
like a reality star, and he owned and still owns
that golf club in Ranchipalace, Tarrannea, No Tranna, I really
hate you. Ever seen the movie A Bridge Too Far?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But Tarannea is a different property than Trump's. Okay, Tarrannea
used to be marine land, as you know, that's right
right next to it, Avaloney Cove and the big w
from It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world.
Much of that area Portuguese band and then the beach
club is experiencing the land movement problems that we experienced
(13:52):
the same around the early eighties.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Okay, since you brought plump.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Property is a different property. It's closer to Sampedro.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Wait.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
So my little brother used to be his food and
beverage manager. What is the Trump restaurant background? What's the
Trump property? Well, it used to be called a golf
club called Ocean Trails, and they built it. I don't
know who built it, but the eighteenth hole fell in
the ocean. Oh no, and then Trump bought it and
reconfigured the course. And it's not a bad bar. I
(14:21):
gotta admit, what's what? Since you brought it up?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
When are they going to finish ports of call and
make it into that destination that everybody wants to go to.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What are they going to make ports of call great again?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yes? What are they going to make ports of call great?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
It's thirty first to February twenty twenty eight. Oh, really
far out on thirty first of fed so on the
calendar and.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Mark in time for the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I guess. I mean they've built something down there and
people send me things and say have you seen this?
Have you seen this? And the answer is no. But
they've had some concerts down there in different events. I
guess I don't know you who. I did an event
on the on the deck of the uss Iowa the
other day. Really, yeah, that was cool, the San Pedro
Sports Walk. Do you know that You know who Susie
(15:07):
Wilds is?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You know that name? No, she's going to be Donald
Trump's chief of staff.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh? Oh, Dick Edinburg's daughter, Pat Somerol's daughter. Yeah, yeah,
the same deal.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
But Pat somemmer All was a great sportscaster.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, U C. L A. Padres and national stuff, very
famous sportscaster and and the I believe may have told
me to f off once. I'm not really, but he was.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
He was really good with John Madden. Yeah, absolutely, they
were great together.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well some aer All was lacronic in nature. I don't know.
He was like the first guy to say, you know, touchdown,
touchdown before No, but just really kind of understated. And
he let the crowd tell the story. They let Madden. Yeah,
well Van had a little more, you know. He let
Madden do the jumping jacks. He was a real straight shooter,
you know.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I was told this Mayor had a.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Few sea throws while he was called of the Games too,
if you know what I'm saying. I was told this
a couple of sea throws. You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I get, yes, yes, yes, the sea throw. Yeah, a
bottle of water.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh no, now you're getting impatient with me in three.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Now, okay.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I was told this a couple weeks ago that by
one of Vin Scully's friends, that Vin Scully was a
big Republican. And this guy who was a friend of
his said, I wouldn't say that in LA because you'll
be ridiculed for that. And so Vin Scully kept his
politics to himself. But here's the question for you. If
(16:33):
Vin Scully didn't build up enough good will for him
to say who he believes in politically, then who has.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Well people got mad at Van a few years ago,
but most people did and it's just stupid a couple
of people in social media. But he was doing an
event with our own an event with our own Tim Kayes,
like a Q and a type of deal. And somebody
asked him about it. Was, you know, when the NFL
was doing their different protesting and things like that nature
and somebody asked him about it, and Vin was very plain.
(17:02):
He just said, you know, he used to call NFL games.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
He's a big Republican.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, well I think he called the Dwight Clark game.
And I don't know what his beliefs really were or not.
And I but what he said was, you know, I
don't watch the NFL anymore. And that was it. That
was enough to piss some people off.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You know, he said, he said he didn't watch baseball
if the Dodger has got eliminated, that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I mean, look, when it's your job and you don't
have to do it, you don't do it right. Like
if you don't have to follow something that you have
to follow for your job. When when that job part
of it is over, you get on with your off
season and try your best to interact like somebody who
doesn't make a living watching people bunk into each other
(17:48):
wearing plastic outfits.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Do who Peter Benchley is? He wrote Jaws? No, I
know Jaws? Okay, he wrote Jaws. He wrote the book Jows.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yes, he said, the toughest thing in the world is
to convince your wife while you're staring at the ocean
that you're actually working.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, that's what I say about watching football. I say
I'm working. I don't want to do.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
This, That's right. It's very hard to explain that to women.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I knew the guy that wrote the play Grease, you know,
like you know, with Travolta and all that. Yeah, I
actually I spent my twenty first birthday with him and
his wife at the time, who was a showgirl.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Really.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yes, his name is Jim Jacobs and you can look
it up. He wrote Grease and uh. He was always
kind of bummed out because he thought himself like a
really serious playwright. But his most famous work was like
shamal Emma Ding Dong Bong Belong.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You know, isn't that where they met. Wasn't John Travolta
into the Showgirls as well?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
No? Not as much thought he was. No, No, he
spent a very interesting evening once at my father's.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You got to say, you got to tell something. Come on, buddy,
what happened to the old Petros?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
He was in my dad's office, and then he wasn't
a very brief period, and then he pouted in the
in the parking lot.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wait, so John Travolta went to your dad's restaurant.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Oh yeah, I used to come all the time. But
one time I think he went in the office.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Buddy, you're bearing the lead.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Takes people out of the office and like as a
cigar or a drake.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
We could have talked about John Robinson tomorrow idea.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
And then he poudered in the lot.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Buddy, All right, hold on, I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I was just a young guy. Hold on not doing
this to me.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Hold on, hold on. I have a family, I know,
but this is more important. Petros is with us from
the Petros Money Show. When he can we come back.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
He had his dad at a restaurant called It's All
Greek to me in sam Pedro, one of the best
Greek restaurants in the world.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
And for me, it's what it's called. It's all Greek
to me.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
And they had the best lemon drop soup in the
world and rice and we come back while ask him
about the celebrities and went to his dad restaurants. I
didn't know John Travolta was a huge, huge, a Greek guy,
a Greek food guy.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Never ever heard that.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Maute.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Scott Show Petros Is with Usmith of Petros and Money program.
How long you guys been together? You and Matt Money spent?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
How late does this show go?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It goes on nine Now. Hey, Moe Kelly has a
great promo that they run from his.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Show about the iPhone.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
No about the dog going into a Whole Foods. He said,
every time he goes to the Whole Foods he sees
two or three dogs. He said, he loves his dog,
but his dog will never see the inside of of
a grocery store.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, I saw it last night at Trader Joe's. A
woman walk around with her dog.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
At my work. The person that's at the highest pinnacle
of the college football broadcast world is a guy named
Kirk Herbstreet And he just had this long, arduous kind
of ballet with his dog, bringing the dog everywhere with him,
God making everybody in the broadcast booth and all the
(21:15):
different shows he works on take care of the dog.
And the dog passed. I guess that I was sick.
And then they did like a big montage and he
was crying on TV.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
About the dog, And did the dog die while he
was on the air.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No, No, I'm sure they taped it at some point.
You know, we'll see the death because ESPN is just
that way. But yeah, to me, I understand that people
have a deep and very meaningful relationship with their pets
that we can all just take at face value and
just leave us alone about it. Please, Hey, when you
get gas at night, but I don't want to see
(21:51):
your dog at the football field or anywhere else unless
your dog is a working dog that has an actual purpose.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Right, he keeps the dog at home. And when you
get gas at night at a gas station, and I
know Texico is your gas station.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Well it used to be my Texico.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yes, it's my Texico. Don't you always like it's my Texico,
that's my Texico.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Don't you?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
When I when I get gas at night, I always
feel like I'm going to get shot.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Well, I don't think that's a very good way to
go about life. But yeah, I live in a lot
of fear, just personally. I have for many years.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
But me at a gas station at night, I always
think I'm a good shot in Burbank anywhere, you know,
downtown La, Hollywood doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Well, you got to keep your head on a swivel.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
You do. Yeah, you gotta keep looking around.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Keep your head on a swivel, and protect your neck,
like the Wu Tang clan says.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Or do you like that guy did in Columbia where
he started spraying the gas the people attacking him and
they moved on.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well, yeah, because it's not the gas that lights you
on fire.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
But I love watching when I go on the internet,
you know, like TikTok, YouTube, whatever, and I see the
immediate justice of people of criminals in South America or
Central America.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
You know, guy tries to steal a personal woman and
another guy comes out and just kills him.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You like that? Or like or a car just slams
him against the wall that breaks his spine right there
on that that's right? Yeah, you like the f around
and find out meme, that's right. Yeah. The guy's in
like a sweatsuit. He's showing the grath and he looks
at the class like and here right here is ma
f are out and over here earth where you find
out that's right? Now? I understand that instant karma. Yes,
(23:34):
I understand. We live in a world where we just
don't want instant gratification like two minutes and the microwave
isn't enough, but we want to see somebody bloodied and
destroyed the moment after they commit a.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Crime, right, and and like the funniest home videos. The
United States are pretty tame, but there are some other
countries where they're wild.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Like a guy will lose his.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Arm, yes, no doubt. You know. In fact, that used
to be the punishment for feeling. In Indonesia, it might still.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Be they cut your hand off, Yeah, I think so. Yeah, Wow,
that's a deterrent.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah, well you would think so. And then you know
you're walking around with one hand and everybody knows that
you're a thief.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
All right, buddy, you got that ed? What what was
the start? And does the cher ducan still continue?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I don't know. I'm not a big Usually I spend
Thanksgiving either with my family who's Greek, or with my
h or working.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
You had a lot of celebrities come back to It's
all Greek?
Speaker 5 (24:32):
To me?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Was the name of the restaurant?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
No, no, it was not.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
What was the name of the restaurant?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Papa dacres taf herna sounds restaurant was not called It's
all Greek to me.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
For sure it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I'm reasonably certain, Okay, But you had a lot of
It would have been a pretty cheesy name.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You had John Travolta, many more people than you could
even get O. J.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Simpson combined.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I served George Harrison.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Wow, And that's by the way, Stephan.

There every night and complain about Steve Wentwood.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Really wait, you served George Harrison, correct of the from
the Beatles?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Correct? Stephe the the dream Weaver brought him in.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Wow? What was that like in nineteen sixty two?

No?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Oh, this is Lake Georgia.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, it was like I got my mind said on
you was that Georgia? Did he do that?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
At the it's all Greek to me, No, but we played.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The weaver played was.

brought lemon and rice.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh so there is a drop of lemonon. There is
called lemon drop soup. It's all Greek to me.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
More than a drop crozier. Okay. A lemon drop is
a drink for lonely women that are drinking in Marina
del Rey and are hoping to be picked up by
a divorce a spend a night in a soulless high
rise condo. You noticed that, only to wake up empty.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You know when noticed that when mom's and dad's divorced,
that mom starts to date the guy that dad never was. Like,
he plays tennis, he goes on cruises, he dances. She's like, Plus,

got like some equipment in a yard.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah he's he's in marine salvage. He used to be

no idea what he does.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
But and he's good looking. He's got in an European accent.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
He plays bridge and most of those guys worked at

Little paddle ball.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
And he's also and he's spending the exes, the ex
husband's money because he makes nothing.

a while.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
But he got a friend at a body shop though
in Wilmington.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
And that's where he is all the time.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Every time you call me, he's at the body shop

A great view of the Artesia Water treatment plant.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But I really appreciate com on. We needed the laugh today, buddy.
It was a bad day and we needed the laugh.
Thank you, Thank you, and God bless everybody. And I'll
see you tomorrow. All right, thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
There you go. Oh that guy is so great man.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
He does not give an f about anybody or anything.
That's what makes him so great, funniest man in radio
by far.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Listening to Mo Kelly's a promo with the dog in
the grocery store. I know we talked about it earlier.
I'm talking about it again, and I hope that that
more radio shows and more people shame people for doing that.
Don't bring your dog to a grocery store, all right,
your dirty ass, big stinky, dumb dog in a grocery store.
(28:21):
F that dog. Those dogs should be at home. If
the service dog, I get it, bring them in, enjoy yourself.
But just to have your your dog rolling around with
you in a pets in a grocery store.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
No good, No good. I don't even like my I've
seen my restaurants too.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
We're at celebrating my wife's fiftieth birthday at a restaurant
and she comes back from the bathroom and she trips
over a dog's paul or steps on it. Dog barks
and like lunges at her, like what's going on. It's
like having a you know, a birthday party to zoo.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
I don't know. Something, somebody's got to teach people how
to behave. Maybe it's me.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't know, Maybe it's me, whoever it is, but
it's got to be somebody got to stop bringing those
dogies into grocery stores. Just leave in the car. It's
not hot outside. The dog can handle the car for
a little bit. All right, let's talk about the Dodgers.
Dodgers are great. They won the World Series. Yankees didn't,
Mets didn't, San Diego didn't. The Dodgers beat all three
(29:23):
of those teams, all three of them to get to
the World Series. They won the World Series. And now
we might have a gondola. Let's you know, the busy
bodies ruin it for everybody.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Local residents, we're given an opportunity this weekend to voice
their support or opposition to a Dodgers Stadium gondola.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Oh, that'd be nice to have a big gondola, big gondola.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
So the meeting was held at Union Station in downtown La. Y.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, these are all the people.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Who are against the gondola because they got nothing else
going on in life, so they're against everything.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
So the meeting was how that Union Station in downtown
La yesterday and supporters say arriving and exiting Dodger Stadium
is pretty much like Karma Geddon because of the sheer
number of vehicles.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's right, And there's only like four or five ways
to get in and out of Dodger Stadium. If you
go to an Angel game, there are forty two exits
and entrances to a Angel Stadium forty two Dodger Stadium five.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
I think people opposed to the gondola express concern over
the route being built. You're culturally sensitive. Valvera Street with
its delicate Adobe buildings. We don't know how construction could
harm these culturally significant buildings, and I think that we
have to preserve them.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
You know what, the people who own the restaurants and
shops at Alvera Street, they want the gondola or the gondola.
They want after the Dodger game for people to be
dropped off so they can spend money on those stores.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
As many ways as we can get cars off the road,
the better it is for the community, the better it
is for the parks.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Recent poll found Elle County residents support the gondola project.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Did you hear that? Hear that percentage?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
So?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
A recent poll found seventy two percent of Elli County
residence support the gondola project.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
It would operate.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Seventy two seventy seventy two percent, seventy two percent.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
It's a lot of people with zero emissions and would
be the first aerial gondola transit system to include an
electric battery backup system.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Who cares what the backup system is? Why would that
even be in the report? God, there's a backup system?
Who cares? Nobody cares?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Nobody? We have times list, No, we don't. All we
gotta get out of here. Moe Kelly is coming up next.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
By the way, that gondola segment was brought to you
by Advanced Hair. How about that one day treatment, life
changing results. Make your appointment today Advanced haare dot com.
