Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app camf I
AM six forty. It's Conway Show. It's Friday. Beautiful weather outside.
I'm looking out the window here in Burbank, California. Beautiful, cloudy,
partly cloudy, partly sunny, which I guess that means the
same thing. Sky breezy, cold out in LA. That means
(00:23):
Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. And we
made it through another one hundred and fifty degree summer.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
All together, we made it well, most of us did.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The big news story today around the world is the
fight in Texas and it's going to be Mike Tyson
and Jake Paul. This is what everyone's talking about. So
we brought in the guy that used to do your
ringside at HBO.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Tom O.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Great to be here, Yes, long time ringing now, So
thank you for knowing my reste normally you bet I
don't like the way you introduced me because you forget
my resume.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You take advantage of our friendships. You know each other
for so long? How long have we known each other?
Since nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Mid nineties, Yes, mid nineties back, you know, but you
actually went from a guest to a host at cal
As Sex. And it's surprising that station didn't survive. It
was Tim Conway, Kato Kless, Cindy Brady, Tom Looney.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You know it didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, it was Howard Stern and then you know a
nine homeless guys.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So let's talk about this this huge fight that's gonna
happen tonight. The I gotta ask you the question everyone
asked me. I don't know, because I don't know that
much about boxing.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Is it rigged?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Oh no, that's what people.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You know, everyone thinks it is.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
They always do. And it always drove me crazy with
boxing because long before there were Trump fans that were
boxing fans. Is if my guy wins, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Fair and square. Right, your guy wins, it's fixed.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Well, the only problem I thought I actually ever had
with the officials and the judges is that Don King
was paying everybody I know, but he represented both fighters
and the judges.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
But remember, for my days, it's hard to fix a fight.
And for my days as a ring announcer, after each round,
each the three judges hand in their scorecards, somebody else
tabulates that they're not tabulating in their head about who
Vegas wants to win or who they want Again, let
(02:26):
me bias. People have their biases because we're humans. But
the fights aren't have been fixed as the mob did
it the thirties.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Let me digress a little.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
How is a fight scored every single every single round?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Sure, it's by a ten point must system. Ten for
the withinard, nine for the loose.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So you have to get ten or nine.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yes, Oh, if you get knocked down it would be
ten eight. Now, if you get knocked down twice, they
could score ten to seven, but they tend not to
do that. They can, but they tend not.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But a ten to seven scoring in any in any
of the rounds is death for the other.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Oh, it really could be, could be, and it's and
it's based on ring generalmanship. That's just a guy who
seems to be in charge in there. A punch is
landed defense, and and so there's more. Those are really
the top three things that they look.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
At all, right, But what about the Mayweather fight. I
watched it and it clearly looked like Mayweather knocked out
Jake Paul and then held him up, Well, didn't it
look like that?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, I'm not sure about that, but I just don't think.
I'm not sure if that happened though. Okay, but there's
always people who with boxing because it's a subjective sport
with judges, and you know, with judges, we're sure people
just always it's it's the only sport that's judged that's a.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well scored that way.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, I mean, there's a judge in gymnastics in the Olympics.
But I hate you sports that are judged. But then again, look,
baseball is judged. You know, those guys behind the plate
are calling it about seventy percent of the time they
get it right.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I understand that because you know that ball's coming in.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
These guys are in their sixties, that ball is going
one hundred miles an hour, and they're supposed to tell
you with the half inch of where that.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, they done right. The one thing about all the
sports is to replay they're not watching in slow motion,
is to ripple exactly exactly so, and they're not always
there are a lot better shift than they were when
we were boys, because they're John Cherry, Oh my god,
that John Cherry walks out in Cincinnati, Cincinnati was always
famous for having the first game, and it was always
in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It was always on a Sunday or Monday, and they
had the very first game, so opening Day and baseball
John John McSherry, John Share, I think John McSherry walks
out to the field, Hey, how you doing, walks back
and has a massive heart attack and dies right there
on the field.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Dies.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
They called the game off. They sent all forty five
thousand people home and played the game the next day.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And so they Major League Baseball said, guys, we can't
go out and do this. You guys can't, you know,
spend the night at two parts. You got to move around.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
And in football, if you notice there is right shape,
Well the they got smart. If you're gonna get hit
by a guy who could run a four four forty
and he's six four ways two fifty, but you better
have some muscle on you when you're gonna go crashing
into the ground.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, because and literally a baseball an umpire, especially a linesman,
you know guys down the line, they could stand there
for the entire game and not move at all. Right,
it's very easy to do. Let's get back to box saying, yes,
what do you think is gonna happen? Predictions tell me
something I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Well, I just think Mike Tyson hasn't really looked it
hasn't had a great fight since nineteen eighty nine, and
it was very sentimental for people. So they're looking at
old videos or they're judging what great shape he is
and now and leaping to conclusions that he'll be able
to fight. I just think that Paul's too young for
him and will be too big for him too, and
he'll get hit and he's lost all this deep. When
(05:46):
Max Kellerman was a little boy, he was on a
letter and explaining why by Tyson was through.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's how long it's been.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And Max's brother was a big of boxing. Yeah, ficionado,
here's why Max kelevin story. I was coming back from
New York and the the Boston Celtics were playing the
Philadelphia seventy six ers, and I was sitting right behind
Max Kellerman. He was in front of me, I was
behind him, and I watched the entire game while we're
(06:16):
you know, traveling and flying cross country. He never turned
his TV on, and then I heard him the next
day on the radio. Oh, I flew across country and
watched the entire game.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I know you didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I was sitting behind you. I was sitting right behind you.
That TV never went on. You slept well.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
You know, when it comes to talk radio, you just
got to say it with authority. That's just gonna say
it with that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Who is the guy that Tyson lost to in Japan?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That was Buster Douglas. That was first big loss, first
big loss. And he staid, you know it's one. He's
a child star. He really eighteen to twenty two. And
a lot of times when you see child stars, Whitney Houston,
she got everything she ever wanted in he lighte by
twenty two. How can I get everything she ever want?
On it?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What do I do now?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And it happens a lot to child stars or young
people who overachieve at such a young age. That Johnny Football,
you see the documentary and Johnny footblay you everything you
ever wanted was twenty one?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Man? How about Johnny Hockey too? With Columbus.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Thanks all right, So you're let me write down predictions
because we're gonna have a Rich mord On later. Tart, God,
I love Rich Maradi. Yeah, he's great. Your prediction, My prediction.
My prediction will be Jake Paul by knockout. Tyson hasn't
moved his head since nineteen ninety. Okay, he lost all
his defense after after he got out of prison.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Jake Paul, what what round? Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Let me say three?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Three? Okay, Okay, buddy, I appreciate you coming in.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
You're gonna have Rich Murad and let me rich. Let
me add this that the boxing's always had a circus element,
remember butter Bean, And that's in our lives in Recita.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I used to go down to Recipa watching and they didn't.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Even have referees that were professionals until the seventies. You know,
there used to be ex champions Jersey. You know when
Ali list in that law count in that second fight, Jersey,
Joel Wolcott was the celebrity referee that day. They've had
celebrity referees, the local mayor.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's my dad was a boxer in the school and
and then he tried out in college and he got
hit so hard.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He said he still feel that it felt now.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
He was the Conroy's flower guy, right, yeah, yeah, Conroy,
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
IMDb also says that, okay, what can you tell me

Well, if you're at home and you're older than forty five,
maybe fifty, you will know that she was not only
an actress and a comedic actress on the Carabernet Show,
starred in Mama's Family, had a nice long career, but
she is responsible for a song that Andrew and Bella
and Stepho's you probably know this song, but you may
(11:19):

Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yes, but I am more familiar with the Reba MacIntire version.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Oh, I say, okay, there. I grew up in.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Reba is not on with us.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Remember that, thank you, Reba is not on angel. I
would have included you, but I know that you're old
school like me, and you know Vicky Lawrence's bio and
what she's done and everything, and you would have been
no fun. Oh thanks, You'd have known everything you know.
You don't need another no at all, you know, like
these kids that know, uh, you know what you know.
(12:33):
Like for instance, here's a here's a pretty decent story.
I'll tell you real quick. My daughter was eleven and
I had maybe three of her friends in the car,
and and somebody said, one of her friends said, hey,
isn't your grandpa famous? And she said yeah, and she said, Dad,
tell my friends what grandpa did. I said, oh, okay, Well,
(12:57):
Michael's Navy nothing, Carol Vernet Show nothing, Apple Dumpling Gang nothing,
Apple doubling gang rides again.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Still nothing. I Shaggy Deer went through his entire career.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Nothing nothing. And they all just sat there and you
were bewildered. Why you know why she her grandfather was
famous at all? And I said, oh, plus he also
did SpongeBob square Pants.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And they froze, that's a big deal. They couldn't.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
They didn't say another word for the rest of the trip.
They just kept whispering each other.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Your sounds a much job square pants.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Guess what, uh?
Speaker 7 (13:47):
I said, I go to Foush. I said he was
Barnacle and he Barnacle Boy. And Bella goes, what.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I just tied Vicky Lawrence from Hannah, Montana. She yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hannahtana's grandma, I believe.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
I'm gonna fangirls so hard. Well, she's coming in. Never mind,
what is that is so great?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's so great though that you know it's wait a minute,
it was on.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
She's on, She's on Hannah Montana.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You know the these you know, these little you know
walk ons that they do, you know later on in life,
they're on like one out of every eighteen episodes, and
these kids remember everything about my my It's amazing the
memory of these kids have nowadays. My daughter when she
would watch I don't know, either Hannah Montana or what's
the other one where I'm got it where.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Sweet Life is sucking Cody? Yeah, that's that. Another one.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
What was the one where they had where they all
went to school on the West coast they shot at
pepperd Yeah, all these shows that you watch, and she
can tell me every character, what their real name is,
what their character name is, what episode they said it,
you know, a certain line in It's unbelievable. It's important. Yeah,
it's incredible. These these young kids have a great mind
(15:11):
for you, memorizing stuff. They're really really absolutely doing. All Right,
we have an unbelievable show. We already had Tom Looney on,
Vicky Lawrence is coming on with us. The big story
tonight is the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight. That is
a big, big deal. And then an Alaska airliner almost
went down. They didn't say that I did, but we'll
(15:33):
tell you how scary this was. Alaska Airlines. These people,
I'll tell you a story. Come back. It's frightening.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I am sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It is the Conway Show. We're gonna get to this
Alaska Airline store. It's still compiling a bunch of data here,
but essentially what happened was they left Washington, DC and
they were coming to Ax. A wheel explodes on takeoff
and everybody on the plane knows it, and now you
have five and a half hours to brace yourself when
(16:10):
you land in Lax, hoping that the plane doesn't do
a cartwheel when it lands and everybody flies around. We're
so we're going to get the audio on that, but
first let's talk to I mean, this is great. A
lot of people listen to kfive are big, huge fans
of skiing. It's just the fact Jack and John Erdie
(16:30):
is with us. He is the president and CEO of
the Mammoth Lakes Tourism. We'd like to get information as
often as we can. Let's put Johnny on the air. John,
how you, sir?
Speaker 9 (16:40):
I am fantastic. It is snowing like crazy here, so
I couldn't be better.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Buddy.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Is this the earliest and the heaviest it snowed? I
heard that both of those are true.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Maybe not.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
You know, we've had we've had some huge early season
snows in the past, but it's just great when you
have opening day today at the mountain and fresh snow
right on top of it. It's just perfect timing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's dumping' as they say up there.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, my sister always says that it's dumpin'. It's dumpin'
up there. Like man, Man, you really do sound like
a skier. Mammoth has never looked as great as it
does now. The last time I was there, John, you
may not have been born. It was the nineteen seventies
or so, but I've seen pictures, especially the Mammoth Lodge there,
and it's spectacular.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
It's gorgeous. I mean, the whole area is absolutely stunning.
It's just a natural beauty. Our whole marketing campaign is
the real unreal because when you have people to come
here for the first time, they think it's a movie
set because it just cannot be what you're looking at
because it's just absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And who came up with that logo at the mountain
with the m in the mountain.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
You know, that's the mountain themselves. So that's a crown logo,
being that they are the king of King of skiing,
so it's very apropos for them.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And you know, one of the stories I was reading
the I think it was the New York Post this morning.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I get it in the driveway. I'm old school, and.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
There was a there's a town in I think it's
in Nevada or in right on the border of California.
Oh no, no, it's in Nevada for sure. It's called Genoa.
It's the oldest town in Nevada. And and you could
make that a stop on the way up or on
the way home from Mammoth.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
Yeah, Jenna was up up right outside of Reno, and yeah,
it's got the oldest bar in the state. And it's
a it's a it's a pretty cool little drop off.
But yeah, that's that's headed up towards the Reno area.
And you know, for us everybody coming up from La
coming up three ninety five, it's just such a straight shot.
It's really it's two turns from Los Angeles to get
up here, so it's pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It is so great.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
The drive is so terrific up there because as you
drive to Mammoth on your west side or your left
hand side, there's nothing but mountains the entire time.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Yeah, I'm not not many places you can go skiing
and drive by the highest peak in the lower forty
eight when you go buy a Mount Whitney down in
Loan Pine. So it's it is a stunning drives one
of the most scenic roots in the country.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, and I noticed that Mammoth, unlike Aspen and Veil
and Steamboat, is still reasonably priced.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
You know, there are a lot of ways to ski affordably.
The icon passes phenomenal, the season passes, and then they've
got four packs that you can buy that really really
make it affordable for families. I think if you walk
up to the ticket window, it's it's always going to
be a little sticker shock, just like normal places. But
you know, the the online purchases, the pre purchases, there
are all sorts of ways that folks can save, and
(19:30):
the Mamoth Mountain website has all sorts of great opportunities
for that.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
One of my favorite memories of Mammoth I used to
go up there with like maybe once every two or
three years of my parents and my dad hated skiing,
and I wasn't a big fan myself, and so my
dad and I would take the gondola up to the
restaurant that's up up on the on the slope. Is
that still there, the restaurant that's at the end of
the gondola.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Yeah, absolutely, okay, So we would take.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
The gondola up there without our skis or ski boots,
you know, just go up there to eat. And we'd
sit there in that restaurant and eat, and my dad
would look around and go, man, look at this. Everybody
that comes in here is either freezing or sweating, and
we're having the best time of our lives.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Always a silver lining.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That's great. It really is terrific.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Look skiing is, you know, it's not for everybody, you know,
it's it does take some you know, some certain athletic skills,
you know, so you don't bust your ass. But the
but the ski instructors up in Mammoth, I've noticed, are
are so patient with these kids and these you know,
these older people are skiing for the first time.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
They really do make it fun.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing. And I think the biggest thing
with skiing is unlike some other sports. It's an individual sport.
So even if you come up here with friends that
know what they're doing, they can go off and do
their thing, and you can go off with an instructor
and learn. And even when you're done with the instructor,
you can go out on some of the lower chairs.
It's practicing, and you can all meet at the bar
at the end of the day. So it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Hey, John, what was the total for last year in
inches of snow and what do you expect this here?
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Last year was about four hundred The year before was
just shy of a thousand. It was nine hundred and
sixty seven inches at some of the mountain.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Wait, so that was around then.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
We you know, we skid until August, which is pretty ridiculous,
and it was it was amazing how quickly it ended
up melting right at the end because of the temperatures.
But it was it was a winter to remember and forget.
At the same time, it was pretty wild. It was
like living in a maze because all the snow banks
were so high that you just couldn't see where. You know,
you'd have to take take ten minutes to get out
(21:32):
of your driveway so you didn't get hit. Yeah, but yeah,
you know, normal normal year for US is four hundred
inches of snow and three hundred days of sunshine. So
it's kind of a great combination. I've worked in the
ski industry all over the country, and you know, there
are very few places where it's going to snow three
feet overnight and then be a bluebird, you know, powder day.
So this is this is definitely a treat here.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Was that a record the nine hundred and sixty.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
Four by far? Yeah, that was a huge year.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That I do remember.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I remember a lot of people getting snowed in and
having to stay you know, up there for a week
or so.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
We'd love to check they are worst places to get snowed.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
In, one hundred percent. We'd love to check in with you.
We have a lot of people listening to KFI who
love traveling up there. I know Bellio is one of them,
goes up there with a husband all the time. He's
a great skier. She not so good.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
But we'd love to check in with you.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I can't believe opening day is today and now you're
gonna be open probably, I don't know till.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
June at least until June, probably till July. Yeah, and yeah,
visit Mammoth dot com if people want to book their
trips and still still room for the holidays. So come good.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
All right, thanks for coming on with this. Man, appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I John Erdie, the president and CEO of Mammoth Lakes Tourism.

a break every once in a while. All Right, we
now have the audio, we have all the details. We'll
come back and talk about the Alaska Airline leaving Washington,
going to lax tire explodes on takeoff and I got
five and a half hours to write letters to make
(23:00):
videos because you.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Don't know if this plane's going to do a.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Cartwheel when it hits we'll have the audience pretty scary.
I mean, thank god nobody was hurt or killed or killed.
And we'll come back and tell you what happened and
the conclusion of that. We're live on KFI AM six forty.
Then the day of the evening of the Big Fight
tonight it is Mike Tyson, Jake Paul eight o'clock to
(23:24):
night on Netflix.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
KFI AM at six forty. It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Don't forget the big fight tonight Tyson Jake Paul Tonight
eight pm on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's gonna be a big deal, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Alaska Airlines, maybe you were on this flight leaving DC
coming to Lax and then the vibes went.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Bad and Alaska air Flings made an emergency land to
get Lax after blowing a tire.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Bra bray. You imagine being on a plane and you
hear that brace brace brais brace brace.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You know, I've heard that pilots hate that. Maybe not
in this case, but pilots hate when you clap when
when the plane lands. And the reason they hate it
is because when you clap for somebody, there's an element
of luck involved in that as well, and they don't
like that that you think that they landed that plane
(24:32):
because they're lucky.
Speaker 11 (24:33):
Well, you know what we don't like what we don't
like being in a position where we have to clap
because something.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That well, I U, I understand that. I understand that.
By the way, when you're told to brace on a plane,
do you have to be told again? How many times
they have to tell you? Don't they just say, hey, brace,
Oh I'm brised, I'm brised.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You don't have to say it over and over.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
We just need to say, umbraced y brace.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
That's it, Maybe Sement obtaining exclusive video as passengers cheered
and clapped during the landing. The plane lost a tire
shortly after taking off last night from Washington Dulles Airport.
Passengers heard a popping noise as the plane reached the
takeoff speed, but they didn't find out until hours into
the flight what had happened. The crew declared an emergency
as it were cautioned and was able to safely land
(25:26):
the plane. There were one hundred and seventy five passengers
and six crew members on the flight. Fortunately no one
was hurt.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay, but belly O, I am how I bet everybody
did a final video you know with their kids, you know,
the sweetie, I love you, I'm sorry, I cheated on you.
And then you've land nothing happens and she's like, wait,
you did what what is it.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You cheated on me? What was that all about?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
No, if I was going to die, it was nothing.
Well wait, minut. I think it is something here. What's
going on with you?
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Everyone probably had to buy the Wi Fi to get
their order during that flight.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yes, yeah, you buy the Wi Fi by the fis
as they call it on the airlines.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I have Bellie. Have you ever had a close call?
Speaker 7 (26:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Never, I had want I had won in Denver.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
When you say close call, what are we talking? I
mean I've been in heavy turbulent like.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
A boarding, a landing, or almost a cartwheeling. We I
was taken off. We were working for Cores. We're doing
a show called USA.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Up All Night. Anybody anybody now?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
A show called USA Up All Night And it was
the movie wrap Arounds for USA Network and it was
a Friday night show and a Saturday night show with
Caroline Schlit. Very funny show, very funny woman. And we
were shooting with Cores. We did a festival in vail,
or as Bail, and we drove back to Denver. We
got onto the plane, I think it was Continental Airlines,
(26:52):
and we get to the plane, takes off, about to
take off, get to the end of the runway, front
tires come up and bang, slams back down, stops about
three feet before the end of the runway and we're frozen,
and the pilot doesn't say anything. Pilot doesn't say anything.
Then he comes on and he says, I'm sorry. He says,
(27:14):
we had a fire indicator on the right rear engine
and I look out of the out of the window.
It's right next to me, a fire indicator that that
engine is on fire. So we pull back to the
gate and I walk up and I said, I said,
I want to get off this plane. And she said, no, no,
we're out of a mechanic. Take a look at it
(27:35):
and see if it was just a button that malfunction.
And I said, I don't care. That slamming back down
is enough for me.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
For the day.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I want to get off. And she said I'm not
going to let you off. I said, well, I'm going
to open that door and get out. And she said
the flight ten said, you don't know how to open
that door, and I said, I paid attention during the
pre flight discussion that you had and you showed us
and told us how open that door.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I know how to open it. So I opened the door.
She opens the door. I'm sorry. She opens the door,
opens it up.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I go to get out, seventy people rush after me
and they're like, thank you, thank you. I didn't know
what to do with thank you, and jam off this plane.
And when we get off the plane, there's already five
news cameras there from all the local stations because there
was a problem with an earlier flight at the airport,
and so they all ran to our gate and we
were all on TV. And I remember calling my dad.
(28:28):
I said, Dad, you know, watch TV. I almost died
on this plane. And he's like, oh, man, that's horrible.
He says, do you want me to rebook you for later?
I'm like, ah, no, I think I'm gonna I think
I'm gonna drive. He says, not on drive. We'll just
book you for later. And I got on a plane.
I think the next morning nervous. But it's nerve wracking,
(28:50):
you know, it's nerve wracking. Even though we didn't crash,
we slammed that plane down. It came to it a really,
really sharp and you know it was it was a
halt at the end of that runway. It felt like
you were in a car and somebody slammed the brakes on.
But man, is that that is scary to be up
there and not have any control whatsoever. Now there are
guys on the plane, you know they're still drinking. Hey,
(29:13):
you have no control over it. Why worry about it.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I'm not a guy like that. I wish I was.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I'm not that guy. I'm not the guy screaming either.
There's those guys. I'm a tweener. I'm right between that.
I'm between I don't care and I'm gonna, you know, panic,
right in the middle. And I think that's where everybody
really is. But how about the plane that went into
the Hudson you know, the US Airlines, US Airways, Yeah,
(29:39):
Sully Sully Sullenberger, Yeah, flies it right into the Hudson
and all of those people survive. It goes into the
into the river, the Hudson River, and every single person survived,
every single person. And I'd like to not be on
flights with any of that those cats, because those cats
(30:00):
they chewed up whatever luck they were born with. You're
only born with a certain amount of luck, and they
ate it all that day, every one of them chewed
it up. Did you hear that a stat that came
out though of that plane that eighty percent of the
people who are on that plane on US airways. Eighty
percent were taken to the airport and got on another
(30:20):
flight that day. They were still wet from the river
and they got another plane. That is wild. I know
what Jay Leonard makes fun of me, but for saying while,
but that was wild.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah. You ever had a close call angel?
Speaker 11 (30:35):
Yeah, I've had some really uncomfortable experiences, Like one time.
I mean I've been flying for years, so this one
time I had such terrible turbulence, Like it was a
long time ago, when the cockpit doors were still open.
Oh yeah, that the horizon was like perpendicular too, what
I'm seeing outside.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
It was just awful, terrible.
Speaker 11 (30:57):
I didn't fly for a long time after that. But
this past summer, I was flying coming in from Vegas,
middle of summer.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
It was super hot on the ground.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
We're halfway between John Wayne and Las Vegas, and all
of a sudden, the landing gear comes down and the
flight the plane is actually not losing altitude, but they
are lowering their altitude.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh no.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
And I look at the flight attendant and he's and
he's looking at me, and I'm like, as long as
he stays cool, I'm gonna stay cool. And you made
it we made it the plane if they just were
trying to cool off their their brakes or something like
that because it was hot.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Yeah, that was really weird.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yeah, Burbank's a tough airport to come into because that
runway is so short. They got to slam the brakes on. Man,
I'm always scared to death and Burbank.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Don't forget the Tyson fight tonight, Jake Paul, Mike Tyson.
It's gonna be huge tonight eight o'clock. You don't want
to miss because everyone will be talking about it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
You don't want to be left out.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always here us live on k FI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app camf I
AM six forty. It's Conway Show. It's Friday. Beautiful weather outside.
I'm looking out the window here in Burbank, California. Beautiful, cloudy,
partly cloudy, partly sunny, which I guess that means the
same thing. Sky breezy, cold out in LA. That means
(00:23):
Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. And we
made it through another one hundred and fifty degree summer.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
All together, we made it well, most of us did.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The big news story today around the world is the
fight in Texas and it's going to be Mike Tyson
and Jake Paul. This is what everyone's talking about. So
we brought in the guy that used to do your
ringside at HBO.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Tom O.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Great to be here, Yes, long time ringing now, So
thank you for knowing my reste normally you bet I
don't like the way you introduced me because you forget
my resume.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You take advantage of our friendships. You know each other
for so long? How long have we known each other?
Since nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Mid nineties, Yes, mid nineties back, you know, but you
actually went from a guest to a host at cal
As Sex. And it's surprising that station didn't survive. It
was Tim Conway, Kato Kless, Cindy Brady, Tom Looney.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You know it didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, it was Howard Stern and then you know a
nine homeless guys.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So let's talk about this this huge fight that's gonna
happen tonight. The I gotta ask you the question everyone
asked me. I don't know, because I don't know that
much about boxing.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Is it rigged?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Oh no, that's what people.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You know, everyone thinks it is.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
They always do. And it always drove me crazy with
boxing because long before there were Trump fans that were
boxing fans. Is if my guy wins, it's.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Fair and square. Right, your guy wins, it's fixed.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Well, the only problem I thought I actually ever had
with the officials and the judges is that Don King
was paying everybody I know, but he represented both fighters
and the judges.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
But remember, for my days, it's hard to fix a fight.
And for my days as a ring announcer, after each round,
each the three judges hand in their scorecards, somebody else
tabulates that they're not tabulating in their head about who
Vegas wants to win or who they want Again, let
(02:26):
me bias. People have their biases because we're humans. But
the fights aren't have been fixed as the mob did
it the thirties.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Let me digress a little.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
How is a fight scored every single every single round?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Sure, it's by a ten point must system. Ten for
the withinard, nine for the loose.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So you have to get ten or nine.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yes, Oh, if you get knocked down it would be
ten eight. Now, if you get knocked down twice, they
could score ten to seven, but they tend not to
do that. They can, but they tend not.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But a ten to seven scoring in any in any
of the rounds is death for the other.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Oh, it really could be, could be, and it's and
it's based on ring generalmanship. That's just a guy who
seems to be in charge in there. A punch is
landed defense, and and so there's more. Those are really
the top three things that they look.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
At all, right, But what about the Mayweather fight. I
watched it and it clearly looked like Mayweather knocked out
Jake Paul and then held him up, Well, didn't it
look like that?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, I'm not sure about that, but I just don't think.
I'm not sure if that happened though. Okay, but there's
always people who with boxing because it's a subjective sport
with judges, and you know, with judges, we're sure people
just always it's it's the only sport that's judged that's a.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well scored that way.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, I mean, there's a judge in gymnastics in the Olympics.
But I hate you sports that are judged. But then again, look,
baseball is judged. You know, those guys behind the plate
are calling it about seventy percent of the time they
get it right.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I understand that because you know that ball's coming in.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
These guys are in their sixties, that ball is going
one hundred miles an hour, and they're supposed to tell
you with the half inch of where that.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, they done right. The one thing about all the
sports is to replay they're not watching in slow motion,
is to ripple exactly exactly so, and they're not always
there are a lot better shift than they were when
we were boys, because they're John Cherry, Oh my god,
that John Cherry walks out in Cincinnati, Cincinnati was always
famous for having the first game, and it was always
in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
It was always on a Sunday or Monday, and they
had the very first game, so opening Day and baseball
John John McSherry, John Share, I think John McSherry walks
out to the field, Hey, how you doing, walks back
and has a massive heart attack and dies right there
on the field.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Dies.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
They called the game off. They sent all forty five
thousand people home and played the game the next day.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And so they Major League Baseball said, guys, we can't
go out and do this. You guys can't, you know,
spend the night at two parts. You got to move around.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
And in football, if you notice there is right shape,
Well the they got smart. If you're gonna get hit
by a guy who could run a four four forty
and he's six four ways two fifty, but you better
have some muscle on you when you're gonna go crashing
into the ground.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, because and literally a baseball an umpire, especially a linesman,
you know guys down the line, they could stand there
for the entire game and not move at all. Right,
it's very easy to do. Let's get back to box saying, yes,
what do you think is gonna happen? Predictions tell me
something I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Well, I just think Mike Tyson hasn't really looked it
hasn't had a great fight since nineteen eighty nine, and
it was very sentimental for people. So they're looking at
old videos or they're judging what great shape he is
and now and leaping to conclusions that he'll be able
to fight. I just think that Paul's too young for
him and will be too big for him too, and
he'll get hit and he's lost all this deep. When
(05:46):
Max Kellerman was a little boy, he was on a
letter and explaining why by Tyson was through.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's how long it's been.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And Max's brother was a big of boxing. Yeah, ficionado,
here's why Max kelevin story. I was coming back from
New York and the the Boston Celtics were playing the
Philadelphia seventy six ers, and I was sitting right behind
Max Kellerman. He was in front of me, I was
behind him, and I watched the entire game while we're
(06:16):
you know, traveling and flying cross country. He never turned
his TV on, and then I heard him the next
day on the radio. Oh, I flew across country and
watched the entire game.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I know you didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I was sitting behind you. I was sitting right behind you.
That TV never went on. You slept well.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
You know, when it comes to talk radio, you just
got to say it with authority. That's just gonna say
it with that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Who is the guy that Tyson lost to in Japan?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
That was Buster Douglas. That was first big loss, first
big loss. And he staid, you know it's one. He's
a child star. He really eighteen to twenty two. And
a lot of times when you see child stars, Whitney Houston,
she got everything she ever wanted in he lighte by
twenty two. How can I get everything she ever want?
On it?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
What do I do now?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
And it happens a lot to child stars or young
people who overachieve at such a young age. That Johnny Football,
you see the documentary and Johnny footblay you everything you
ever wanted was twenty one?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Man? How about Johnny Hockey too? With Columbus.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Thanks all right, So you're let me write down predictions
because we're gonna have a Rich mord On later. Tart, God,
I love Rich Maradi. Yeah, he's great. Your prediction, My prediction.
My prediction will be Jake Paul by knockout. Tyson hasn't
moved his head since nineteen ninety. Okay, he lost all
his defense after after he got out of prison.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Jake Paul, what what round? Oh?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Let me say three?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Three? Okay, Okay, buddy, I appreciate you coming in.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
You're gonna have Rich Murad and let me rich. Let
me add this that the boxing's always had a circus element,
remember butter Bean, And that's in our lives in Recita.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I used to go down to Recipa watching and they didn't.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Even have referees that were professionals until the seventies. You know,
there used to be ex champions Jersey. You know when
Ali list in that law count in that second fight, Jersey,
Joel Wolcott was the celebrity referee that day. They've had
celebrity referees, the local mayor.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's my dad was a boxer in the school and
and then he tried out in college and he got
hit so hard.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
He said he still feel that it felt now.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
He was the Conroy's flower guy, right, yeah, yeah, Conroy,
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Buddy Penny versus it's Bennys Peacock.

that I watch, but I can't think of it off
the top of my head right now. Okay, yeah, all right,
Andrew Caravella, how old are you? Well, Google says I'm
twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (10:41):

that Vicky Lawrence is the world famous Mama.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Of Mama's Family. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. All right.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, if you're at home and you're older than forty five,
maybe fifty, you will know that she was not only
an actress and a comedic actress on the Carabernet Show,
starred in Mama's Family, had a nice long career, but
she is responsible for a song that Andrew and Bella
and Stepho's you probably know this song, but you may
(11:19):
not know that it's Vicky Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (11:21):

Speaker 8 (11:56):
My mom used to play that one all the time.
I remember, okay, and Andrew you.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Yes, but I am more familiar with the Reba MacIntire version.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Oh, I say, okay, there. I grew up in.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
Reba is not on with us.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Remember that, thank you, Reba is not on angel. I
would have included you, but I know that you're old
school like me, and you know Vicky Lawrence's bio and
what she's done and everything, and you would have been
no fun. Oh thanks, You'd have known everything you know.
You don't need another no at all, you know, like
these kids that know, uh, you know what you know.
(12:33):
Like for instance, here's a here's a pretty decent story.
I'll tell you real quick. My daughter was eleven and
I had maybe three of her friends in the car,
and and somebody said, one of her friends said, hey,
isn't your grandpa famous? And she said yeah, and she said, Dad,
tell my friends what grandpa did. I said, oh, okay, Well,
(12:57):
Michael's Navy nothing, Carol Vernet Show nothing, Apple Dumpling Gang nothing,
Apple doubling gang rides again.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Still nothing. I Shaggy Deer went through his entire career.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Nothing nothing. And they all just sat there and you
were bewildered. Why you know why she her grandfather was
famous at all? And I said, oh, plus he also
did SpongeBob square Pants.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And they froze, that's a big deal. They couldn't.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
They didn't say another word for the rest of the trip.
They just kept whispering each other.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Your sounds a much job square pants.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Guess what, uh?
Speaker 7 (13:47):
I said, I go to Foush. I said he was
Barnacle and he Barnacle Boy. And Bella goes, what.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I just tied Vicky Lawrence from Hannah, Montana. She yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hannahtana's grandma, I believe.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right.
Speaker 7 (14:08):
I'm gonna fangirls so hard. Well, she's coming in. Never mind,
what is that is so great?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
That's so great though that you know it's wait a minute,
it was on.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
She's on, She's on Hannah Montana.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You know the these you know, these little you know
walk ons that they do, you know later on in life,
they're on like one out of every eighteen episodes, and
these kids remember everything about my my It's amazing the
memory of these kids have nowadays. My daughter when she
would watch I don't know, either Hannah Montana or what's
the other one where I'm got it where.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Sweet Life is sucking Cody? Yeah, that's that. Another one.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
What was the one where they had where they all
went to school on the West coast they shot at
pepperd Yeah, all these shows that you watch, and she
can tell me every character, what their real name is,
what their character name is, what episode they said it,
you know, a certain line in It's unbelievable. It's important. Yeah,
it's incredible. These these young kids have a great mind
(15:11):
for you, memorizing stuff. They're really really absolutely doing. All Right,
we have an unbelievable show. We already had Tom Looney on,
Vicky Lawrence is coming on with us. The big story
tonight is the Mike Tyson Jake Paul fight. That is
a big, big deal. And then an Alaska airliner almost
went down. They didn't say that I did, but we'll
(15:33):
tell you how scary this was. Alaska Airlines. These people,
I'll tell you a story. Come back. It's frightening.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
I am sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It is the Conway Show. We're gonna get to this
Alaska Airline store. It's still compiling a bunch of data here,
but essentially what happened was they left Washington, DC and
they were coming to Ax. A wheel explodes on takeoff
and everybody on the plane knows it, and now you
have five and a half hours to brace yourself when
(16:10):
you land in Lax, hoping that the plane doesn't do
a cartwheel when it lands and everybody flies around. We're
so we're going to get the audio on that, but
first let's talk to I mean, this is great. A
lot of people listen to kfive are big, huge fans
of skiing. It's just the fact Jack and John Erdie
(16:30):
is with us. He is the president and CEO of
the Mammoth Lakes Tourism. We'd like to get information as
often as we can. Let's put Johnny on the air. John,
how you, sir?
Speaker 9 (16:40):
I am fantastic. It is snowing like crazy here, so
I couldn't be better.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Buddy.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Is this the earliest and the heaviest it snowed? I
heard that both of those are true.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Maybe not.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
You know, we've had we've had some huge early season
snows in the past, but it's just great when you
have opening day today at the mountain and fresh snow
right on top of it. It's just perfect timing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's dumping' as they say up there.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, my sister always says that it's dumpin'. It's dumpin'
up there. Like man, Man, you really do sound like
a skier. Mammoth has never looked as great as it
does now. The last time I was there, John, you
may not have been born. It was the nineteen seventies
or so, but I've seen pictures, especially the Mammoth Lodge there,
and it's spectacular.
Speaker 9 (17:25):
It's gorgeous. I mean, the whole area is absolutely stunning.
It's just a natural beauty. Our whole marketing campaign is
the real unreal because when you have people to come
here for the first time, they think it's a movie
set because it just cannot be what you're looking at
because it's just absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And who came up with that logo at the mountain
with the m in the mountain.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
You know, that's the mountain themselves. So that's a crown logo,
being that they are the king of King of skiing,
so it's very apropos for them.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And you know, one of the stories I was reading
the I think it was the New York Post this morning.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I get it in the driveway. I'm old school, and.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
There was a there's a town in I think it's
in Nevada or in right on the border of California.
Oh no, no, it's in Nevada for sure. It's called Genoa.
It's the oldest town in Nevada. And and you could
make that a stop on the way up or on
the way home from Mammoth.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (18:19):
Yeah, Jenna was up up right outside of Reno, and yeah,
it's got the oldest bar in the state. And it's
a it's a it's a pretty cool little drop off.
But yeah, that's that's headed up towards the Reno area.
And you know, for us everybody coming up from La
coming up three ninety five, it's just such a straight shot.
It's really it's two turns from Los Angeles to get
up here, so it's pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
It is so great.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
The drive is so terrific up there because as you
drive to Mammoth on your west side or your left
hand side, there's nothing but mountains the entire time.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
Yeah, I'm not not many places you can go skiing
and drive by the highest peak in the lower forty
eight when you go buy a Mount Whitney down in
Loan Pine. So it's it is a stunning drives one
of the most scenic roots in the country.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, and I noticed that Mammoth, unlike Aspen and Veil
and Steamboat, is still reasonably priced.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:09):
You know, there are a lot of ways to ski affordably.
The icon passes phenomenal, the season passes, and then they've
got four packs that you can buy that really really
make it affordable for families. I think if you walk
up to the ticket window, it's it's always going to
be a little sticker shock, just like normal places. But
you know, the the online purchases, the pre purchases, there
are all sorts of ways that folks can save, and
(19:30):
the Mamoth Mountain website has all sorts of great opportunities
for that.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
One of my favorite memories of Mammoth I used to
go up there with like maybe once every two or
three years of my parents and my dad hated skiing,
and I wasn't a big fan myself, and so my
dad and I would take the gondola up to the
restaurant that's up up on the on the slope. Is
that still there, the restaurant that's at the end of
the gondola.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Yeah, absolutely, okay, So we would take.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
The gondola up there without our skis or ski boots,
you know, just go up there to eat. And we'd
sit there in that restaurant and eat, and my dad
would look around and go, man, look at this. Everybody
that comes in here is either freezing or sweating, and
we're having the best time of our lives.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Always a silver lining.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
That's great. It really is terrific.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Look skiing is, you know, it's not for everybody, you know,
it's it does take some you know, some certain athletic skills,
you know, so you don't bust your ass. But the
but the ski instructors up in Mammoth, I've noticed, are
are so patient with these kids and these you know,
these older people are skiing for the first time.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
They really do make it fun.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing. And I think the biggest thing
with skiing is unlike some other sports. It's an individual sport.
So even if you come up here with friends that
know what they're doing, they can go off and do
their thing, and you can go off with an instructor
and learn. And even when you're done with the instructor,
you can go out on some of the lower chairs.
It's practicing, and you can all meet at the bar
at the end of the day. So it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Hey, John, what was the total for last year in
inches of snow and what do you expect this here?
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Last year was about four hundred The year before was
just shy of a thousand. It was nine hundred and
sixty seven inches at some of the mountain.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Wait, so that was around then.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
We you know, we skid until August, which is pretty ridiculous,
and it was it was amazing how quickly it ended
up melting right at the end because of the temperatures.
But it was it was a winter to remember and forget.
At the same time, it was pretty wild. It was
like living in a maze because all the snow banks
were so high that you just couldn't see where. You know,
you'd have to take take ten minutes to get out
(21:32):
of your driveway so you didn't get hit. Yeah, but yeah,
you know, normal normal year for US is four hundred
inches of snow and three hundred days of sunshine. So
it's kind of a great combination. I've worked in the
ski industry all over the country, and you know, there
are very few places where it's going to snow three
feet overnight and then be a bluebird, you know, powder day.
So this is this is definitely a treat here.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Was that a record the nine hundred and sixty.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
Four by far? Yeah, that was a huge year.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That I do remember.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I remember a lot of people getting snowed in and
having to stay you know, up there for a week
or so.
Speaker 9 (22:05):
We'd love to check they are worst places to get snowed.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
In, one hundred percent. We'd love to check in with you.
We have a lot of people listening to KFI who
love traveling up there. I know Bellio is one of them,
goes up there with a husband all the time. He's
a great skier. She not so good.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
But we'd love to check in with you.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I can't believe opening day is today and now you're
gonna be open probably, I don't know till.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
June at least until June, probably till July. Yeah, and yeah,
visit Mammoth dot com if people want to book their
trips and still still room for the holidays. So come good.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
All right, thanks for coming on with this. Man, appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I John Erdie, the president and CEO of Mammoth Lakes Tourism.
Get up there and enjoy yourself. You got to take
a break every once in a while. All Right, we
now have the audio, we have all the details. We'll
come back and talk about the Alaska Airline leaving Washington,
going to lax tire explodes on takeoff and I got
five and a half hours to write letters to make
(23:00):
videos because you.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Don't know if this plane's going to do a.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Cartwheel when it hits we'll have the audience pretty scary.
I mean, thank god nobody was hurt or killed or killed.
And we'll come back and tell you what happened and
the conclusion of that. We're live on KFI AM six forty.
Then the day of the evening of the Big Fight
tonight it is Mike Tyson, Jake Paul eight o'clock to
(23:24):
night on Netflix.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
KFI AM at six forty. It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Don't forget the big fight tonight Tyson Jake Paul Tonight
eight pm on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's gonna be a big deal, all right.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Alaska Airlines, maybe you were on this flight leaving DC
coming to Lax and then the vibes went.
Speaker 10 (23:51):
Bad and Alaska air Flings made an emergency land to
get Lax after blowing a tire.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Bra bray. You imagine being on a plane and you
hear that brace brace brais brace brace.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You know, I've heard that pilots hate that. Maybe not
in this case, but pilots hate when you clap when
when the plane lands. And the reason they hate it
is because when you clap for somebody, there's an element
of luck involved in that as well, and they don't
like that that you think that they landed that plane
(24:32):
because they're lucky.
Speaker 11 (24:33):
Well, you know what we don't like what we don't
like being in a position where we have to clap
because something.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That well, I U, I understand that. I understand that.
By the way, when you're told to brace on a plane,
do you have to be told again? How many times
they have to tell you? Don't they just say, hey, brace,
Oh I'm brised, I'm brised.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You don't have to say it over and over.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
We just need to say, umbraced y brace.
Speaker 10 (25:04):
That's it, Maybe Sement obtaining exclusive video as passengers cheered
and clapped during the landing. The plane lost a tire
shortly after taking off last night from Washington Dulles Airport.
Passengers heard a popping noise as the plane reached the
takeoff speed, but they didn't find out until hours into
the flight what had happened. The crew declared an emergency
as it were cautioned and was able to safely land
(25:26):
the plane. There were one hundred and seventy five passengers
and six crew members on the flight. Fortunately no one
was hurt.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Okay, but belly O, I am how I bet everybody
did a final video you know with their kids, you know,
the sweetie, I love you, I'm sorry, I cheated on you.
And then you've land nothing happens and she's like, wait,
you did what what is it.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
You cheated on me? What was that all about?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
No, if I was going to die, it was nothing.
Well wait, minut. I think it is something here. What's
going on with you?
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Everyone probably had to buy the Wi Fi to get
their order during that flight.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yes, yeah, you buy the Wi Fi by the fis
as they call it on the airlines.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I have Bellie. Have you ever had a close call?
Speaker 7 (26:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Never, I had want I had won in Denver.
Speaker 7 (26:13):
When you say close call, what are we talking? I
mean I've been in heavy turbulent like.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
A boarding, a landing, or almost a cartwheeling. We I
was taken off. We were working for Cores. We're doing
a show called USA.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Up All Night. Anybody anybody now?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
A show called USA Up All Night And it was
the movie wrap Arounds for USA Network and it was
a Friday night show and a Saturday night show with
Caroline Schlit. Very funny show, very funny woman. And we
were shooting with Cores. We did a festival in vail,
or as Bail, and we drove back to Denver. We
got onto the plane, I think it was Continental Airlines,
(26:52):
and we get to the plane, takes off, about to
take off, get to the end of the runway, front
tires come up and bang, slams back down, stops about
three feet before the end of the runway and we're frozen,
and the pilot doesn't say anything. Pilot doesn't say anything.
Then he comes on and he says, I'm sorry. He says,
(27:14):
we had a fire indicator on the right rear engine
and I look out of the out of the window.
It's right next to me, a fire indicator that that
engine is on fire. So we pull back to the
gate and I walk up and I said, I said,
I want to get off this plane. And she said, no, no,
we're out of a mechanic. Take a look at it
(27:35):
and see if it was just a button that malfunction.
And I said, I don't care. That slamming back down
is enough for me.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
For the day.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
I want to get off. And she said I'm not
going to let you off. I said, well, I'm going
to open that door and get out. And she said
the flight ten said, you don't know how to open
that door, and I said, I paid attention during the
pre flight discussion that you had and you showed us
and told us how open that door.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I know how to open it. So I opened the door.
She opens the door. I'm sorry. She opens the door,
opens it up.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I go to get out, seventy people rush after me
and they're like, thank you, thank you. I didn't know
what to do with thank you, and jam off this plane.
And when we get off the plane, there's already five
news cameras there from all the local stations because there
was a problem with an earlier flight at the airport,
and so they all ran to our gate and we
were all on TV. And I remember calling my dad.
(28:28):
I said, Dad, you know, watch TV. I almost died
on this plane. And he's like, oh, man, that's horrible.
He says, do you want me to rebook you for later?
I'm like, ah, no, I think I'm gonna I think
I'm gonna drive. He says, not on drive. We'll just
book you for later. And I got on a plane.
I think the next morning nervous. But it's nerve wracking,
(28:50):
you know, it's nerve wracking. Even though we didn't crash,
we slammed that plane down. It came to it a really,
really sharp and you know it was it was a
halt at the end of that runway. It felt like
you were in a car and somebody slammed the brakes on.
But man, is that that is scary to be up
there and not have any control whatsoever. Now there are
guys on the plane, you know they're still drinking. Hey,
(29:13):
you have no control over it. Why worry about it.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I'm not a guy like that. I wish I was.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I'm not that guy. I'm not the guy screaming either.
There's those guys. I'm a tweener. I'm right between that.
I'm between I don't care and I'm gonna, you know, panic,
right in the middle. And I think that's where everybody
really is. But how about the plane that went into
the Hudson you know, the US Airlines, US Airways, Yeah,
(29:39):
Sully Sully Sullenberger, Yeah, flies it right into the Hudson
and all of those people survive. It goes into the
into the river, the Hudson River, and every single person survived,
every single person. And I'd like to not be on
flights with any of that those cats, because those cats
(30:00):
they chewed up whatever luck they were born with. You're
only born with a certain amount of luck, and they
ate it all that day, every one of them chewed
it up. Did you hear that a stat that came
out though of that plane that eighty percent of the
people who are on that plane on US airways. Eighty
percent were taken to the airport and got on another
(30:20):
flight that day. They were still wet from the river
and they got another plane. That is wild. I know
what Jay Leonard makes fun of me, but for saying while,
but that was wild.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah. You ever had a close call angel?
Speaker 11 (30:35):
Yeah, I've had some really uncomfortable experiences, Like one time.
I mean I've been flying for years, so this one
time I had such terrible turbulence, Like it was a
long time ago, when the cockpit doors were still open.
Oh yeah, that the horizon was like perpendicular too, what
I'm seeing outside.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
It was just awful, terrible.
Speaker 11 (30:57):
I didn't fly for a long time after that. But
this past summer, I was flying coming in from Vegas,
middle of summer.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
It was super hot on the ground.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
We're halfway between John Wayne and Las Vegas, and all
of a sudden, the landing gear comes down and the
flight the plane is actually not losing altitude, but they
are lowering their altitude.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh no.
Speaker 11 (31:23):
And I look at the flight attendant and he's and
he's looking at me, and I'm like, as long as
he stays cool, I'm gonna stay cool. And you made
it we made it the plane if they just were
trying to cool off their their brakes or something like
that because it was hot.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Yeah, that was really weird.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yeah, Burbank's a tough airport to come into because that
runway is so short. They got to slam the brakes on. Man,
I'm always scared to death and Burbank.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
All right, we're live.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Don't forget the Tyson fight tonight, Jake Paul, Mike Tyson.
It's gonna be huge tonight eight o'clock. You don't want
to miss because everyone will be talking about it tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
