Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So we got an ice shelf that is a doomsday
ice shelf. Let's find out where that's the sucker ism
and all the way.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
To Antarctica's tweets Glacier. The story Loft tweets Narctica's tweets,
Glacier tweates, Glacier tweets Glacier. The story the Race to
understand Antarctica's most terrifying glacier, looks at the science being
used to understand.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
The giant glacier and hopefully slow it's collapse.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
The Waits Glacier is comparable to the size of Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Wowow, that's huge.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
It's like to say that it's having an impact on
rising sea levels and has impacts that can even change
the course of civilization. So John Gertner is the author
of that story and Wired, and he's also working on
his second book about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Wow, guy's got two books on on one one Glacier. No, No,
the the Greenland ice sheet is different. Say he's got
let me see two books on the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
He's also working on his second book about the melting
of the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So he's done two books on the melting of I
think he's working on I listened to it. Listen all right, he's.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Also working on his second book about the melting of
the Greenland ice.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
The's two books on that. Sorry about that, man, People
like that information. That's a lot. Yeah, got almighty. I
think there was only one book on Jesus? Was it
the Bible? Oh? I didn't realize that. I thought there
were actually the Old Testament.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah. Just I guess just too. Yeah, because I've gone
in looking for more and they said, we only have
two books.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
About two testaments. Yeah, what's your favorite? The older one? Well,
you know, it depends on my mood. Yeah. Have you
ever read the Bible covered col I've probably knocked off
every probably six months. You know, it's the only book
that it is available when you check into a hotel.
You know, it's almost in every room now, I mean
it's not wild. It's still in every room.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
And so is the Koran. Now really well, not in
every room, but I've noticed. I opened up the there're
two books in there.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
They're not Yeah, get into these hotels. Now, that'll be
a third book, and it'll be about the Ice Shelf. Yeah,
that's right, the.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Big Ice Shelf, which will be out this summer. That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well you like to She didn't think it was no,
that was kind of a Yeah, that was a perfunctory.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Which will be out this summer. That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's interesting. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
She can't even fake it.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I do?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Is that what you get from the end of the world. Wow,
it's really going to get cold. I guess, Oh, I
guess hot, And I like that. She couldn't even get
up for it.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
That's interesting.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
You really like to spend time. What do you dress
like with all these different places?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Right? How can we change the pattern on your couch? Well,
I'm here to talk about the end of the world.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so go on.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
That's interesting. Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I doe.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Okay, So let's talk about this glacier, which I didn't
know anything about. So give us the basics.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Wish. What a shocker.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
It's very hard to get to. Actually, only about two
dozen people have ever been there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
In Wow, history and wait, two dozen people have ever
even seen this glacier?
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Holy smokes, and it's The three things I think worth
knowing about Thwaites are one, it is really large. It's
the size of Florida or the size of Great Britain,
so it contains an immense amount of ice, right. And
the second thing is that it's unstable. Warm motion waters
are eroding the bottom of it so that it's starting
to pull back and retreat and collect.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Glaciers do right, The glaciers hate warm water.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
The third thing is that it's interconnected with all these
other glaciers in the same area of the sea, and
if Thwaits goes, then all of those can go as well.
So we're talking anywhere of several feet of sea level
rise to a worst case scenario of something like ten
feet of sea level rise. Wow, twin what a worst
case scenario of something like ten feet of sea level rise?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Ten foot of every ocean is going to go up
ten feet.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Because of this glacier? Worst case? Do you believe that,
I guess it's huge. Do you believe that I have
no reason to doubt the guy? But that's worst case.
Maybe it'll go up seven feet five feet.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, even if it goes up like two or three inches,
it's gonna wipe out a lot of places. Oh my god, Yes,
that's right. So we got to run. Yeah, can we
finish out here where we were in Burbank? We can
finish up tonight. But I'm not coming in tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Downtill Miami is like underwater constantly now all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The roads is that right? Well, they got it. You
gotta move, Yeah, get out there, But I'm not coming
in tomorrow. We're gonna we should go to a big bear.
Big Bear's cool, right, should be okay.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So in your report, Wire says the demise of this
Lasuer could rise by more than a dozen feet.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And this is a quote.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
When that happens, Goodbye Miami, goodbye Boston.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
It's really stark, it's dark, it's terrifying. Shweeter and under Christ.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Has not killed it. Property value in Miami in Boston, Uh.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, it's bargains. You definitely would find some bargains.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Wait, did you work in Miami, Crozier, do you know
people live in Miami. Yeah, my sisters live there and
they and the streets are constantly flooded. Huh Yeah, like
all the time.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Yeah, it doesn't take much like of a rain to
get water two or three inches at least on the streets,
the surface streets of downtown Miami.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And so they got to be panicked over this glacier.
Oh yeah, horrible. Why isn't they want panicking like I am. Well,
you guys are just sit in here. We're about to die.
You guys don't care. Well, Uh, you can't like to
wait to the end of the report. I can swim. Okay,
maybe there's some maybe there's a surprise at the end.
(05:45):
You're waiting for the but there's one other thing, yeah,
waiting for one one other one guy at the Is
there anything we can do? There is one thing. Yeah,
we could freeze it a little more.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Sweeter and under Christian, who's the main scientist and my
story talks about it as the world's most terrifying glacier.
I think time is really important to understand in this situation.
It's not like it's going to slide into the sea
right away.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Ah okay.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
And the scientists that are studying this and that are
going to spend the next five years working on trying
to understand it better, are trying to figure out, how
fast can this thing move into the ocean?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Okay, you do a really good job at sort of
describing just how massive this is. And the challenge is.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Do a really good job, he says, the size of Florida,
right yeah, or great Britain, Great Britain there right, Wow,
you do an unbelievable job because you've you've related it
to a state here in the United States for US,
and then if you're in Europe, be good related to
a great bit Britain. Man, you really knocked that out.
How want it take you to put that together?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
When it comes to.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You did a great job. Listen to her again.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
You do a really good job at sort of describing
just how massive this is. And the challenge is when
it comes to the technology being used to understand what's happening.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Meanwhile, her, you know, the co anchor of this news
has COVID in the background. When it comes to the
technology to got almighty. She's not worried about that guy, right,
She's worried about this glacier that's nine thousand miles from her,
that isn't going to fall into the ocean for another
five years. But the guy who's got you know, COVID
and and and and sneezing all over her hair where
(07:20):
hair's moving. She doesn't care about that guy to the
technology being used about that that deep How about going
to work with that kind of cost in today's day
and age where everyone is so freaked out about anyone sneezing.
You know, you you see a guy and you hear
a guy in the market sneeze. Right now, everybody looks
to see who the f that was. That's right, and
this guy has gone to work with that horse, that
(07:43):
that deep horse. Cough to the technology that that guy's
at work.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
When it comes to the technology being wow, to the
technology being used to understand what's happening. Can you talk
a little bit about the technology?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Sure? Yeah, sure, if you get that guy out of here,
I'll talk about that glacier all day. But you got
to get that guy the f out of here. That
guy broke something loose. Yeah, I don't know what the
hell he has, man, but he is not He's not
going to see this glacier fall into the ocean. He's
not gonna be around for that crap. Let's get back
to this. I want to find out what we're in
for with this glacier. I want to find out, first
(08:20):
of all, why are they taking it so casually? You know,
obviously there's other audio out there that people are a
little more serious about this. You'd hope these hosts are like,
really l like if this glacier is gonna wipe us out,
and I believe Krozier right that Miami is already starting
to feel the effects of the sea rising, then these
people are acting real casual about the end of the
(08:42):
world here. Sure.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
And one reason it's hard to study is it's really
hard to get to Thwaites. It's eight hundred miles from
McMurdo station, so this is a really remote place.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And when you describe getting to the McMurdo station, which
is really really remote, I thought, Okay, that's it, and
then you write and that's not it. There's more to.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Go, right, Yeah, it's just a stop stopping place on
the way to go somewhere farther.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Walgreens.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't know how and CVS the same way. I'm
sure CVS is going to get pounded as well. And
then what's the other the third one out there. What's
the other the other drug store? No, not save On.
There's CVS, Walgreens and Right Aid. Yeah, and right Aid's
going to get pounded as well. So you're keeping in
(09:32):
business by buying their shirts. That's right. I do like
the CVS shirts. You know their fall line last year line. Yeah,
their fall line last year was great. Sign that says
our fall line. No, but I know that you see
him tell the difference. I know that seasons are changing
when the flannel comes in.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
To a cvsye for that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
You know, every time I walk into a CVS, I
swear I go over to the clothing aisle look just
to see by chance, maybe tense here.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Look, I think people, you know, people think I'm joking,
but I've purchased clothes from CBS before. I saw a
jacket that was it was like a sort of like
a sweat jacket, you know, it was made out of
sweatshirt material, but the sleeves so it was gray, but
(10:25):
the sleeves were flannel, were like a checkerboard flannel. So
I thought that was like the greatest jacket I've ever seen.
So I bought it my size sounds hot. It was,
it was, it was, it was pretty hot. But my
wife looked at and she goes, where did you get that?
You go to a good will? And I couldn't believe it.
What hobo did you steal from? What good will? This
(10:47):
is new, lady, this guy is it still has the
tags on it. Baby. I said, I got it, wall
I got it at the CBS. And she said, look,
she goes, you got to stop with this. She goes,
I don't know what you're doing, if you just pretending,
or you just think it's cool or funny or whatever.
But you you're wearing CBS clothing. I said, yeah, but
(11:07):
I like this jacket. She goes, that's a hideous jacket.
The reason why CBS is selling that jacket is because
any nobody else would take them. CBS clothes are all
the rejects that they're going to sell before they send
them to you know, some developing nation.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Uh and and and it does not look good on you.
Everybody knows who listens to handle that. He buys his
clothes at Costco. So you know, right, that's different. Yeah,
and then she and then she showed me.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
She goes, come here right like like and all of
a sudden, I felt like it was my mom, Like
my mom was saying, came here, and I said what,
And she said, take that jacket off. I'm gonna show
you something. A right, So we take the jacket off.
And my wife is as a seamstress as well. She
can make clothing and repair clothing and lengthen and short
and all that stuff. And she measured the sleeves and
(11:56):
one sleeve was an inch longer than the other one,
and like, how did you know that? And she goes,
I can. I bawled it from across the room, that
that that that jacket was off. I said, ah, you
bought it. I bought it for nine dollars and ninety
five cents at CVS. And I still have it. I
still have it at home. I could wear it tomorrow,
wear it tomorrow. Did you fix it? No? She did
(12:18):
not fix it. She said it's unfixable. I mean, she said,
you can't repair this. You would have to break into
she said, so poorly made that you cannot. Possibly you
could fix it, but the fix would look worse than
the actual jacket.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
The jacket you wear that you always have to wear
your have your shoulder up higher.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, it's one I do. It makes me raise my shoulder, Yeah,
the right shoulder. How did you notice that?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Because I remember you doing it one day and I
asked you if your neck was bothering you and you said, no,
just making the sleeves even.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And I didn't understand what you met till now. Oh. Yeah,
we had that conversation shoulder up all the time. Yes,
he will run. In fact, I'll tell you where we
had that conversation was right outside the bathroom exactly.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah, that's where you had those kind of conversations.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
When you said just trying to make the sleeves even,
and I just like was like, okay, but no, no.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You got clothes. But Bellio comes out of the bathroom.
I'm going into the men's room and she says, he
goes hey, okay. I said, yeah, I'm just I'm going there.
I'm going number one And she says no, no, no, no,
not that. She says, your neck. You look and you
look like you have a kinky neck. And I said, no,
(13:33):
I'm evening the sleeves. And I walked in the.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
Bathroom conversations by the can right exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But I've never been asked, well, I'm going in the bathroom,
are you okay? You know, it's so it's such a
weird thing to ask somebody like okay, Like, no, I'm
not going into bar. You know, I don't you know,
I know that I know that there are some things
that are hereditary, Like I don't know if you noticed Angel,
Do you know that the the diarrhea's hereditary?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
No, I'm not kidding. Yeah, it runs in your jeans.
So if you have, if you have, like if your
grandmother had it, your mom had it, or you know,
or dad, you might have it as well. Oh boy,
it's third grade, man, you know. I mean, when you
(14:25):
get into radio, you're around what's so great about is
when I come in, I'm surrounded by third graders art
and booger jokes.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from kf
I Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you want to hear a crazy story? This is
a this is a story. This happened I don't know,
maybe ten years ago. But a friend of mine, a
guy who I worked with and also a good friend
of mine, his his mom passed away and so he
had to fly back to Chicago to bury his mom,
and you know, funeral preparation and get the family in
(15:02):
order and all the family things and sell the house
and do a lot you know, a lot of things
are involved when you know your mom passes away. So
he flew to Chicago, spent a couple of weeks there
and he missed. He has a housekeeper coming every Sunday
that comes and helps him around the house. And the
(15:23):
housekeeper and the house and my buddy's mom were very
close because he had the same housekeeper for fifteen years
and so she would come out here and spend winters
in Los Angeles, and so she knew the housekeeper and
they were like literally like you know, not best friends,
but very very good friends, almost like a mother daughter relationship.
(15:46):
They constantly would sit, you know, at the table and
talk and talk and talk and talk. So my friend
didn't want to call his housekeeper to say that his
mom died. He wanted to do it in person, right,
which makes a lot of sense. So he flew back
on a Sunday and he got in late Sunday afternoon,
(16:10):
and he knew that the housekeeper was going to be there.
So he goes into the house and the housekeeper's there
and he says, I think her name is Maria. He said, Maria,
I've got some really bad news. I want you to
sit down. I want you to tell you this, but
I also want to tell you how important you were
to my mom. And Maria said, what are you talking about?
(16:34):
And my friend said, my mom passed away two weeks ago,
and I just came back from Chicago where we buried her.
And Maria's face turned white and she froze, and she
picked up her purse and she walked to the front
(16:55):
door without saying anything. And my friend said, where are
you going? And she said, I don't know what's going
on with you, but you're lying to me about this.
And he says, no, I'm not trust me, I'm not
My mom passed away two weeks ago. And Maria said, no, no,
(17:15):
no no. When I got to the house today, she
was here and we spent all morning and most of
the afternoon together talking. Isn't that wild? And she never
came back. She left and never ever came back. Isn't
that crazy? I mean, I get every time I tell
(17:39):
that story, I get goosebumps. And when you hear the
guy telling it about his mom, it's crazy. It's just wild,
and so you have no idea, you know, how that
happened or what happened. But she turned just bright white
(18:00):
and walked out of there, grabbed her person. She wouldn't
even to say anything, he said, if I don't think
if I'd stopped her, she would have ever said anything.
She would just split. But I stopped and said why,
you know, what are you doing? She because she spent
all morning with her, talking at the table, had coffee
with her, and she left early in the afternoon. Crazy.
(18:24):
Every ghost ghosts, Yeah, that is a ghost to ghost, right,
but that is a man. That's such a crazy story,
just wild. And that's probably the most like authentic ghost
story that I think I've ever heard. Steckler has a
pretty good one where he was a bunch of people
(18:45):
were staying in a house in South Dakota where the
lights would go on. He he'd hear stuff from upstairs
and stuff. It's a pretty good story. But that one
about the housekeeper spending the whole morning with my friend's mom.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
I have never experienced anything like that. I've never either,
and I just at this point in my life, I
don't I keep my mind open.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It there's stuff out there. I do too, but I've
never experienced anything like that. I've gone into rooms where
lights have gone on and off. Nope, but I'm not.
But I don't think that's a ghost. I just think
you know, the short the light went out, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Yeah, every every thing that could possibly that somebody could go.
I usually have a practical solution to. Its just jen
all the time. She's like, did you hear that? Yeah,
it's the house.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
This one time when I don't know, I was probably
about thirteen years old or something, and my mom had
this old replica clock that had weights on it that
you know, the weights would make the clock tick. Sure anyway,
that the weights the thing between the weights and the
(19:58):
and the clock, that part of the yeah, mechanism had
broken so it wasn't working, and the weight was all
the way down so there wasn't any tension there anyway.
So all of a sudden, that clock starts ticking back
and forth, tick talk, tick talk, and I'm looking at it,
going like what the hell? And my mom said, oh,
(20:21):
someone's here saying hi apparently, and I'm like, I'm scared.
And as soon as I said I'm scared, it stopped.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Wow, that's kind of cool. How old were you?
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I was like thirteen, twelve or thirteen?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Man? Oh man, I think it's here to say hi. Yeah,
well I'm saying goodbye.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah, I'm saying there's the door.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I think there's something to it. I really do. My
wife constantly sees stuff constant.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Oh yeah, yeah about that. You'll have to tell us
a story about that ghost at your old house.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh that that was kind of cool.
And then there's one on the Queen Mary as well
where she looked in the corner and she saw a
little boy, oh yeah, yeah, doing a timeout dressed in
a sailor's outfit, and so she was up right, you
don't go to sleep after that, You're just up yeah,
And I go right back to bed. I'm like, nah,
I said, I saw the curtain moving, but I didn't
(21:12):
see the kid. And so we go to check out
the next day at the at the front desk and
we said, hey, we ask you something. There was something
weird that happened in the room last night. And the
lady without skipping and me goes, oh, did you see
the kid in the corner doing a timeout? Like ah, no,
(21:32):
and I and the story is that the kid died
on one of those transatlantic you know, trips, and he
was in his sailor's outfit when he died.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
See, now that's something a little bit more.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
I would want to go to do that justice because
I just have had nothing like that happened to me.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I saw the curtain move, but the window was open,
you know, it could have been the wind. I don't know,
but by but it was really weird that Jen said that.
My wife said she saw a kid doing a time
out with a sailor's outfit. And then the reception is
the clerk at the desk said the exact same thing,
and they're not And she's not the kind of chick
(22:14):
they would like set that up because she knows that
I don't wouldn't care either way, right, She's like, oh,
let's try to get him. Like when she said, I'm like, okay,
I just try to get up.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Let's go catch up.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, let's go get what we're gonna do. We get him,
keep him. I can't do that. Can leave me here.
We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Now you can always hear us live on KFI Am
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So we got an ice shelf that is a doomsday
ice shelf. Let's find out where that's the sucker ism
and all the way.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
To Antarctica's tweets Glacier. The story Loft tweets Narctica's tweets,
Glacier tweates, Glacier tweets Glacier. The story the Race to
understand Antarctica's most terrifying glacier, looks at the science being
used to understand.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
The giant glacier and hopefully slow it's collapse.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
The Waits Glacier is comparable to the size of Florida.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Wowow, that's huge.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
It's like to say that it's having an impact on
rising sea levels and has impacts that can even change
the course of civilization. So John Gertner is the author
of that story and Wired, and he's also working on
his second book about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Wow, guy's got two books on on one one Glacier. No, No,
the the Greenland ice sheet is different. Say he's got
let me see two books on the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
He's also working on his second book about the melting
of the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So he's done two books on the melting of I
think he's working on I listened to it. Listen all right, he's.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Also working on his second book about the melting of
the Greenland ice.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
The's two books on that. Sorry about that, man, People
like that information. That's a lot. Yeah, got almighty. I
think there was only one book on Jesus? Was it
the Bible? Oh? I didn't realize that. I thought there
were actually the Old Testament.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah. Just I guess just too. Yeah, because I've gone
in looking for more and they said, we only have
two books.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
About two testaments. Yeah, what's your favorite? The older one? Well,
you know, it depends on my mood. Yeah. Have you
ever read the Bible covered col I've probably knocked off
every probably six months. You know, it's the only book
that it is available when you check into a hotel.
You know, it's almost in every room now, I mean
it's not wild. It's still in every room.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
And so is the Koran. Now really well, not in
every room, but I've noticed. I opened up the there're
two books in there.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
They're not Yeah, get into these hotels. Now, that'll be
a third book, and it'll be about the Ice Shelf. Yeah,
that's right, the.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Big Ice Shelf, which will be out this summer. That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well you like to She didn't think it was no,
that was kind of a Yeah, that was a perfunctory.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Which will be out this summer. That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's interesting. Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
She can't even fake it.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 6 (02:31):
I do?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Is that what you get from the end of the world. Wow,
it's really going to get cold. I guess, Oh, I
guess hot, And I like that. She couldn't even get
up for it.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
That's interesting.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
You really like to spend time. What do you dress
like with all these different places?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Right? How can we change the pattern on your couch? Well,
I'm here to talk about the end of the world.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so go on.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
That's interesting. Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I doe.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Okay, So let's talk about this glacier, which I didn't
know anything about. So give us the basics.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Wish. What a shocker.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
It's very hard to get to. Actually, only about two
dozen people have ever been there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
In Wow, history and wait, two dozen people have ever
even seen this glacier?
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Holy smokes, and it's The three things I think worth
knowing about Thwaites are one, it is really large. It's
the size of Florida or the size of Great Britain,
so it contains an immense amount of ice, right. And
the second thing is that it's unstable. Warm motion waters
are eroding the bottom of it so that it's starting
to pull back and retreat and collect.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Glaciers do right, The glaciers hate warm water.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
The third thing is that it's interconnected with all these
other glaciers in the same area of the sea, and
if Thwaits goes, then all of those can go as well.
So we're talking anywhere of several feet of sea level
rise to a worst case scenario of something like ten
feet of sea level rise. Wow, twin what a worst
case scenario of something like ten feet of sea level rise?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Ten foot of every ocean is going to go up
ten feet.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Because of this glacier? Worst case? Do you believe that,
I guess it's huge. Do you believe that I have
no reason to doubt the guy? But that's worst case.
Maybe it'll go up seven feet five feet.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, even if it goes up like two or three inches,
it's gonna wipe out a lot of places. Oh my god, Yes,
that's right. So we got to run. Yeah, can we
finish out here where we were in Burbank? We can
finish up tonight. But I'm not coming in tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
Downtill Miami is like underwater constantly now all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The roads is that right? Well, they got it. You
gotta move, Yeah, get out there, But I'm not coming
in tomorrow. We're gonna we should go to a big bear.
Big Bear's cool, right, should be okay.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
So in your report, Wire says the demise of this
Lasuer could rise by more than a dozen feet.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And this is a quote.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
When that happens, Goodbye Miami, goodbye Boston.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
It's really stark, it's dark, it's terrifying. Shweeter and under Christ.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Has not killed it. Property value in Miami in Boston, Uh.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, it's bargains. You definitely would find some bargains.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Wait, did you work in Miami, Crozier, do you know
people live in Miami. Yeah, my sisters live there and
they and the streets are constantly flooded. Huh Yeah, like
all the time.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Yeah, it doesn't take much like of a rain to
get water two or three inches at least on the streets,
the surface streets of downtown Miami.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And so they got to be panicked over this glacier.
Oh yeah, horrible. Why isn't they want panicking like I am. Well,
you guys are just sit in here. We're about to die.
You guys don't care. Well, Uh, you can't like to
wait to the end of the report. I can swim. Okay,
maybe there's some maybe there's a surprise at the end.
(05:45):
You're waiting for the but there's one other thing, yeah,
waiting for one one other one guy at the Is
there anything we can do? There is one thing. Yeah,
we could freeze it a little more.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Sweeter and under Christian, who's the main scientist and my
story talks about it as the world's most terrifying glacier.
I think time is really important to understand in this situation.
It's not like it's going to slide into the sea
right away.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Ah okay.
Speaker 7 (06:12):
And the scientists that are studying this and that are
going to spend the next five years working on trying
to understand it better, are trying to figure out, how
fast can this thing move into the ocean?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Okay, you do a really good job at sort of
describing just how massive this is. And the challenge is.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Do a really good job, he says, the size of Florida,
right yeah, or great Britain, Great Britain there right, Wow,
you do an unbelievable job because you've you've related it
to a state here in the United States for US,
and then if you're in Europe, be good related to
a great bit Britain. Man, you really knocked that out.
How want it take you to put that together?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
When it comes to.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You did a great job. Listen to her again.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
You do a really good job at sort of describing
just how massive this is. And the challenge is when
it comes to the technology being used to understand what's happening.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Meanwhile, her, you know, the co anchor of this news
has COVID in the background. When it comes to the
technology to got almighty. She's not worried about that guy, right,
She's worried about this glacier that's nine thousand miles from her,
that isn't going to fall into the ocean for another
five years. But the guy who's got you know, COVID
and and and and sneezing all over her hair where
(07:20):
hair's moving. She doesn't care about that guy to the
technology being used about that that deep How about going
to work with that kind of cost in today's day
and age where everyone is so freaked out about anyone sneezing.
You know, you you see a guy and you hear
a guy in the market sneeze. Right now, everybody looks
to see who the f that was. That's right, and
this guy has gone to work with that horse, that
(07:43):
that deep horse. Cough to the technology that that guy's
at work.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
When it comes to the technology being wow, to the
technology being used to understand what's happening. Can you talk
a little bit about the technology?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Sure? Yeah, sure, if you get that guy out of here,
I'll talk about that glacier all day. But you got
to get that guy the f out of here. That
guy broke something loose. Yeah, I don't know what the
hell he has, man, but he is not He's not
going to see this glacier fall into the ocean. He's
not gonna be around for that crap. Let's get back
to this. I want to find out what we're in
for with this glacier. I want to find out, first
(08:20):
of all, why are they taking it so casually? You know,
obviously there's other audio out there that people are a
little more serious about this. You'd hope these hosts are like,
really l like if this glacier is gonna wipe us out,
and I believe Krozier right that Miami is already starting
to feel the effects of the sea rising, then these
people are acting real casual about the end of the
(08:42):
world here. Sure.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
And one reason it's hard to study is it's really
hard to get to Thwaites. It's eight hundred miles from
McMurdo station, so this is a really remote place.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
And when you describe getting to the McMurdo station, which
is really really remote, I thought, Okay, that's it, and
then you write and that's not it. There's more to.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
Go, right, Yeah, it's just a stop stopping place on
the way to go somewhere farther.
Speaker 9 (09:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Walgreens.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't know how and CVS the same way. I'm
sure CVS is going to get pounded as well. And
then what's the other the third one out there. What's
the other the other drug store? No, not save On.
There's CVS, Walgreens and Right Aid. Yeah, and right Aid's
going to get pounded as well. So you're keeping in
(09:32):
business by buying their shirts. That's right. I do like
the CVS shirts. You know their fall line last year line. Yeah,
their fall line last year was great. Sign that says
our fall line. No, but I know that you see
him tell the difference. I know that seasons are changing
when the flannel comes in.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
To a cvsye for that.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
You know, every time I walk into a CVS, I
swear I go over to the clothing aisle look just
to see by chance, maybe tense here.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Look, I think people, you know, people think I'm joking,
but I've purchased clothes from CBS before. I saw a
jacket that was it was like a sort of like
a sweat jacket, you know, it was made out of
sweatshirt material, but the sleeves so it was gray, but
(10:25):
the sleeves were flannel, were like a checkerboard flannel. So
I thought that was like the greatest jacket I've ever seen.
So I bought it my size sounds hot. It was,
it was, it was, it was pretty hot. But my
wife looked at and she goes, where did you get that?
You go to a good will? And I couldn't believe it.
What hobo did you steal from? What good will? This
(10:47):
is new, lady, this guy is it still has the
tags on it. Baby. I said, I got it, wall
I got it at the CBS. And she said, look,
she goes, you got to stop with this. She goes,
I don't know what you're doing, if you just pretending,
or you just think it's cool or funny or whatever.
But you you're wearing CBS clothing. I said, yeah, but
(11:07):
I like this jacket. She goes, that's a hideous jacket.
The reason why CBS is selling that jacket is because
any nobody else would take them. CBS clothes are all
the rejects that they're going to sell before they send
them to you know, some developing nation.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Uh and and and it does not look good on you.
Everybody knows who listens to handle that. He buys his
clothes at Costco. So you know, right, that's different. Yeah,
and then she and then she showed me.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
She goes, come here right like like and all of
a sudden, I felt like it was my mom, Like
my mom was saying, came here, and I said what,
And she said, take that jacket off. I'm gonna show
you something. A right, So we take the jacket off.
And my wife is as a seamstress as well. She
can make clothing and repair clothing and lengthen and short
and all that stuff. And she measured the sleeves and
(11:56):
one sleeve was an inch longer than the other one,
and like, how did you know that? And she goes,
I can. I bawled it from across the room, that
that that that jacket was off. I said, ah, you
bought it. I bought it for nine dollars and ninety
five cents at CVS. And I still have it. I
still have it at home. I could wear it tomorrow,
wear it tomorrow. Did you fix it? No? She did
(12:18):
not fix it. She said it's unfixable. I mean, she said,
you can't repair this. You would have to break into
she said, so poorly made that you cannot. Possibly you
could fix it, but the fix would look worse than
the actual jacket.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
The jacket you wear that you always have to wear
your have your shoulder up higher.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, it's one I do. It makes me raise my shoulder, Yeah,
the right shoulder. How did you notice that?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Because I remember you doing it one day and I
asked you if your neck was bothering you and you said, no,
just making the sleeves even.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And I didn't understand what you met till now. Oh. Yeah,
we had that conversation shoulder up all the time. Yes,
he will run. In fact, I'll tell you where we
had that conversation was right outside the bathroom exactly.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah, that's where you had those kind of conversations.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
When you said just trying to make the sleeves even,
and I just like was like, okay, but no, no.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You got clothes. But Bellio comes out of the bathroom.
I'm going into the men's room and she says, he
goes hey, okay. I said, yeah, I'm just I'm going there.
I'm going number one And she says no, no, no, no,
not that. She says, your neck. You look and you
look like you have a kinky neck. And I said, no,
(13:33):
I'm evening the sleeves. And I walked in the.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
Bathroom conversations by the can right exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But I've never been asked, well, I'm going in the bathroom,
are you okay? You know, it's so it's such a
weird thing to ask somebody like okay, Like, no, I'm
not going into bar. You know, I don't you know,
I know that I know that there are some things
that are hereditary, Like I don't know if you noticed Angel,
Do you know that the the diarrhea's hereditary?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
No, I'm not kidding. Yeah, it runs in your jeans.
So if you have, if you have, like if your
grandmother had it, your mom had it, or you know,
or dad, you might have it as well. Oh boy,
it's third grade, man, you know. I mean, when you
(14:25):
get into radio, you're around what's so great about is
when I come in, I'm surrounded by third graders art
and booger jokes.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demyan from kf
I Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you want to hear a crazy story? This is
a this is a story. This happened I don't know,
maybe ten years ago. But a friend of mine, a
guy who I worked with and also a good friend
of mine, his his mom passed away and so he
had to fly back to Chicago to bury his mom,
and you know, funeral preparation and get the family in
(15:02):
order and all the family things and sell the house
and do a lot you know, a lot of things
are involved when you know your mom passes away. So
he flew to Chicago, spent a couple of weeks there
and he missed. He has a housekeeper coming every Sunday
that comes and helps him around the house. And the
(15:23):
housekeeper and the house and my buddy's mom were very
close because he had the same housekeeper for fifteen years
and so she would come out here and spend winters
in Los Angeles, and so she knew the housekeeper and
they were like literally like you know, not best friends,
but very very good friends, almost like a mother daughter relationship.
(15:46):
They constantly would sit, you know, at the table and
talk and talk and talk and talk. So my friend
didn't want to call his housekeeper to say that his
mom died. He wanted to do it in person, right,
which makes a lot of sense. So he flew back
on a Sunday and he got in late Sunday afternoon,
(16:10):
and he knew that the housekeeper was going to be there.
So he goes into the house and the housekeeper's there
and he says, I think her name is Maria. He said, Maria,
I've got some really bad news. I want you to
sit down. I want you to tell you this, but
I also want to tell you how important you were
to my mom. And Maria said, what are you talking about?
(16:34):
And my friend said, my mom passed away two weeks ago,
and I just came back from Chicago where we buried her.
And Maria's face turned white and she froze, and she
picked up her purse and she walked to the front
(16:55):
door without saying anything. And my friend said, where are
you going? And she said, I don't know what's going
on with you, but you're lying to me about this.
And he says, no, I'm not trust me, I'm not
My mom passed away two weeks ago. And Maria said, no, no,
(17:15):
no no. When I got to the house today, she
was here and we spent all morning and most of
the afternoon together talking. Isn't that wild? And she never
came back. She left and never ever came back. Isn't
that crazy? I mean, I get every time I tell
(17:39):
that story, I get goosebumps. And when you hear the
guy telling it about his mom, it's crazy. It's just wild,
and so you have no idea, you know, how that
happened or what happened. But she turned just bright white
(18:00):
and walked out of there, grabbed her person. She wouldn't
even to say anything, he said, if I don't think
if I'd stopped her, she would have ever said anything.
She would just split. But I stopped and said why,
you know, what are you doing? She because she spent
all morning with her, talking at the table, had coffee
with her, and she left early in the afternoon. Crazy.
(18:24):
Every ghost ghosts, Yeah, that is a ghost to ghost, right,
but that is a man. That's such a crazy story,
just wild. And that's probably the most like authentic ghost
story that I think I've ever heard. Steckler has a
pretty good one where he was a bunch of people
(18:45):
were staying in a house in South Dakota where the
lights would go on. He he'd hear stuff from upstairs
and stuff. It's a pretty good story. But that one
about the housekeeper spending the whole morning with my friend's mom.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
I have never experienced anything like that. I've never either,
and I just at this point in my life, I
don't I keep my mind open.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It there's stuff out there. I do too, but I've
never experienced anything like that. I've gone into rooms where
lights have gone on and off. Nope, but I'm not.
But I don't think that's a ghost. I just think
you know, the short the light went out, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Yeah, every every thing that could possibly that somebody could go.
I usually have a practical solution to. Its just jen
all the time. She's like, did you hear that? Yeah,
it's the house.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
This one time when I don't know, I was probably
about thirteen years old or something, and my mom had
this old replica clock that had weights on it that
you know, the weights would make the clock tick. Sure anyway,
that the weights the thing between the weights and the
(19:58):
and the clock, that part of the yeah, mechanism had
broken so it wasn't working, and the weight was all
the way down so there wasn't any tension there anyway.
So all of a sudden, that clock starts ticking back
and forth, tick talk, tick talk, and I'm looking at it,
going like what the hell? And my mom said, oh,
(20:21):
someone's here saying hi apparently, and I'm like, I'm scared.
And as soon as I said I'm scared, it stopped.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Wow, that's kind of cool. How old were you?
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I was like thirteen, twelve or thirteen?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Man? Oh man, I think it's here to say hi. Yeah,
well I'm saying goodbye.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Yeah, I'm saying there's the door.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I think there's something to it. I really do. My
wife constantly sees stuff constant.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Oh yeah, yeah about that. You'll have to tell us
a story about that ghost at your old house.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh that that was kind of cool.
And then there's one on the Queen Mary as well
where she looked in the corner and she saw a
little boy, oh yeah, yeah, doing a timeout dressed in
a sailor's outfit, and so she was up right, you
don't go to sleep after that, You're just up yeah,
And I go right back to bed. I'm like, nah,
I said, I saw the curtain moving, but I didn't
(21:12):
see the kid. And so we go to check out
the next day at the at the front desk and
we said, hey, we ask you something. There was something
weird that happened in the room last night. And the
lady without skipping and me goes, oh, did you see
the kid in the corner doing a timeout? Like ah, no,
(21:32):
and I and the story is that the kid died
on one of those transatlantic you know, trips, and he
was in his sailor's outfit when he died.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
See, now that's something a little bit more.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
I would want to go to do that justice because
I just have had nothing like that happened to me.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I saw the curtain move, but the window was open,
you know, it could have been the wind. I don't know,
but by but it was really weird that Jen said that.
My wife said she saw a kid doing a time
out with a sailor's outfit. And then the reception is
the clerk at the desk said the exact same thing,
and they're not And she's not the kind of chick
(22:14):
they would like set that up because she knows that
I don't wouldn't care either way, right, She's like, oh,
let's try to get him. Like when she said, I'm like, okay,
I just try to get up.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Let's go catch up.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, let's go get what we're gonna do. We get him,
keep him. I can't do that. Can leave me here.
