Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's CAMF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
The iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Before we get to the number one song, we have
White House Correspondent and iHeart. It's It's Iheart's White House
Correspondent John Decker.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
John, how are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, I'm doing great, Tim. I hope you're doing well today.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Johnny, I got done. Glad you're on the phone. We
went through the top ten songs of all time, and
I know you're you're a music fan, so I'm gonna
play you the number one song according to I want
to hear it, Okay, according to Billboard. I'm sorry rolling
Stone Magazine, this is the number one song of all time.
Like a Rolling Stone man. Oh man, you big Bob
(00:44):
Dylan fan.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know that wouldn't have been my number one choice, Tim.
I'm just saying, I think my number one choice would
have been a Rolling Stone song. That would have been
And if I had to pick a specific one for
the Devil, that's my favorite song all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Mine is is Double Dutch Bus.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's a great song.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
That's a good one too.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, all right, So John, Look, John's very polite, John.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I can't remember the last time that there was a
president in the Oval office where he dominated every single
news cycle, every hour of every day, every time I
turned TV on, it's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Well it happened, as you may recall, eight years ago.
For four consecutive years when Donald Trump was president the
first term, I don't think that there was a front
page in which he or his policies weren't on the
front page. And the same thing goes for television. You know,
he led the eight block for four years and now
he's back at it again, and I think he's doubled
(01:51):
down in terms of wanting to be the top story
for every news cycle, on every newscast.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So what's the latest we of bb Netanyahu in town
from Israel.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Huh, Well, that's right. I just came from the joint
press conference that Prime Minister Netanyah who had with President
Trump in the East Room at the White House, and
during that press conference, I think the big headline that
came out of it is that President Trump would like
to essentially remove all of the Palestinians from Gaza and
(02:26):
have the US take over Gaza long term and where
do those Palestinians are who would be displaced go? Well,
he says, to Egypt, to Jordan, to Saudi Arabia. I
don't think those countries necessarily want to take two million Palestinians.
In number one and number two, you know, no mention
(02:50):
at all about a two state solution, a separate Palestinian
state alongside the state of Israel. That is certainly not
what President Trump and visions. Based upon what I heard
during the press conference which concluded about an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You know, there has to be something. These people have
to live somewhere. They said ten to fifteen years to
fix Gaza where it can be inhabitable. Again, there's thirty
thousand live munitions, you know, bombs and grenades and explosives
in and around Gaza. Plus eight to eighty five percent
of the buildings could either fall down or should have
(03:31):
or have to be torn down.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Absolutely, it's uninhabitable right now. I think that's pretty clear.
And it's not just President Trump's saying that. It's agencies
associated with the United Nations refugee agencies as well. The
place essentially is a war zone in terms of what
Gaza has gone through. And remember all of this because
(03:56):
Hamas attacked Israel back on October seventh, the year half ago.
So this was a meeting in which this was I
think the headline that came out of the press conference,
but also the President speaking about taking a tighter tact
as it relates to Iran. That is something that Prime
Minister Netnyah who certainly agrees with and getting a commitment
(04:19):
from Hamas to return all of the hostages who have
been held since October the seventh, a year and a
half ago, and that will be part of phase two
of this ceasefire deal that was reached with Hamas several
weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
John Decker's with US White House correspondent for iHeart Media,
what do we know about his cabinet picks, any movement today?
I heard Pam Bondi's name thrown around anybody else, maybe Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So Pam Bondi was confirmed today by the Senate as
she is the new Attorney General of the United States.
And then it was a good day also for President
Trump's other choices for his cabinet. Why is that because
the Senate committees that have jurisdiction over the Department of
Health and Human Services, they gave a green light to
(05:10):
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, and he's on his way to
becoming the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Also,
in addition to that, it was a good day for
the President's choice to be Director of National Intelligence, Tulci Gabbert.
She passed out of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and I
think that she too has a clear path to being
(05:31):
the next DNI under President Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I saw that she had a slim margin. Was it
nine to eight coming out of that committee?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, that sounds right. And the reason for that, you know,
I think is because of Susan Collins. Susan Collins I
think really gave a shot in the arm, a boost
to Tulsi Gabbert because yesterday she declared that she would
support Tulci Gabbert to beat dn I. She was seen
as a possible no vote, but she voted yet on
(06:01):
the nomination, and I think that sent a message to
other wavering Republicans in the Senate who may be thinking,
or we're thinking, perhaps about denying her a spot in
President Trump's cabinet.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Do you think Collins got a phone call from Trump
after she voted no on HeiG Seth.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I think that she is a political animal. Susan Collins.
You know, good years, bad years, when Republicans are down,
she still wins her Senate seat. She knows her state
pretty well. And you know, it's not a good look
if you're rejecting more than one of President Trump's choices
for his cabinet. As you point out, she already rejected
Pete Heg Sath to be Secretary of Defense. She along
(06:42):
with two other Senate Republicans, Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski.
And it took Vice President JD. Vance to break the
tie and put him on his way to being Secretary
of Defense.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And I also heard.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And I saw today that we have, you know, guys
that maybe didn't finish, didn't go to finishing school, and
we're in this country, you know, less than legally that
they are on their way to Cuba on Guantanamo Bay.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, that's right, you know, back in the nineties. First
of all, I've been to Guantanamo Bay. I was with
I did a Yeah, I've been to Guantanamo. I was
there during George W. Bush's presidency. I took a chip
down there for four days when there were about one
hundred and fifty detainees housed at Guantanamo Bay associated with
the War on Terror. But also in the nineties I
(07:33):
covered what was happening at Guantanamo Bay with the thousands
upon thousands of Haitian refugees who are detained at Guantanamo Bay.
So it's not the first time this has happened. And
now President Trump sending the first planeload of migrants to Guantanamo.
He says up the thirty thousand could be detained there
(07:53):
until they ultimately are sent back to their home countries.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You know, there's a I.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Looked at some of his up some history about Guantanamo Bay.
It's forty five square miles on the southern end of
the island, and the United States leases that property, although
Cuban never cashes the check because they want the Americans
out of there. So since the nineteen sixties or seventies,
America has been sending a check for forty five hundred
(08:20):
dollars to the Cuban government that they've never cashed.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, let me tell you another factot about Guantanamo. So
I flew down to Guantanamo from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It
was a military flight, and the people on my flight
were at the time lawyers that were representing detainees military
folks that were heading back after being on leave. I
was down there with my cameraman and guess how long
(08:45):
tim it takes you to get from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
down to Guantanamo Bacube. I'll give you one guess and
then I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, I would say it's a two hour and fifty
minute two hour flight.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Four hours and now right, four hours? Look at a map.
How did it take four hours? Well, first of all,
it's not a jet that we're flying number one, but
number two. More importantly, you can't fly in Cuban airspace down. Wow,
but all the way around the island to the back
end of the island, and that's how you make it
to Guantanamo Bay from South Florida.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
What a great piece of trivia that is.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You know what, My brother got married in Jamaica, and
I remember flying over Cuba or just to the south
of it, I guess. And to look down and say
Cuba for the very first time my life is and
after hearing all these stories about it, but you actually
showing up and going there, I mean Guantanao Bay is
not a small area too. It's forty five square miles.
That's not small.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Well, I've been in Cuba proper. I've been to Havana.
I was on a trip with President Barack Obama when
he traveled to Cuba, and that was a fascinating trip.
A week long trip to Havana, Cuba.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And it's it's like a has remained in place when
you're there. You see all these old nineteen fifties convertible cars.
I took a trip in one around the center of Havana.
It's remarkable. I had a great meal there. Let me
tell you about it, real quick, tim Sure, two lobster tales.
(10:18):
It was a great live entertainment. Two beers, ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
John.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I know you're a humble guy.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
You're not gonna ever promote this, but I feel like
I should. In the two formal press conferences that Donald
Trump has had, he's picked on one reporter or one
correspondent in both of those, and that person is you.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, look, you know I've known Donald Trump. Well, thanks.
I've known President Trump since I first interviewed him in
nineteen ninety nine. So I go back a long time
with President Trump, and in his first term, I you know,
strengthened the working relationship that I have with the President,
(11:05):
and hopefully that will continue in his second term. You know,
I asked tough questions to the president. He respects me
because I respect the office of the president.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I loved when when he called on you, I felt
like it was calling on me.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I think, I think we have that kind of connection.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But I really appreciate you coming on. I would love
to check back with you as often as we can.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I look forward to it. Have a great night, and
we'll talk to you real soon.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Thanks. All right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
John Decker, Iheart's White House correspondent in Washington, d C.
That guy's been around a long time. He knows everybody.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
I've been to Havana also. But I didn't want a
big footage story.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Wait, well you went to Havana Yeah, I don't want
a big football Well you got to come back and
talk about yeah, yeah, okay, all right, Okay, Mark is
going to lay some unbelievable stories on us about Havana Q.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
But recently, no, it was it had to be easily
fifteen years You go, oh, okay, that's recent. All right,
we'll come back and talk about it. That's great.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I know you you're old, but you go everywhere.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You went to Vietnam.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Yeah, I went to Vietnam, and you go to Vietnam
when they were fighting. I went to Vietnam one as
a tourist. I mean, it's not quite the same thing.
And a lot of people went.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
All right, Mark's travels stories when we come back Cuba.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Thing is kind of there are a couple of cool
things that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Happened, and Mark's travel Stories are being brought to you
by oh Advanced Hair, one day treatment, life changing results.
Make your appointment today at Advanced Hair dot com.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Conway Show Thompson's here. Rain is on the way, Rain
is on the way. You're listening to Tim Conwaytuni. You're
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Mark Thompson is here. He's in the house, yes, sir,
And it's going to rain. I don't know if you
know that.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Yeah, I guess it's gonna What do they say, I
have to about an.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Inch of rain?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, but up in northern California you're getting eight to
ten inch.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Oh yeah, that's that is a real different kind of weather.
System and Northnal. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
All right, let's talk about you going to Cuba. I
would love to go there, but I don't ever imagine
myself going. First of all, it's hard to get to. Yeah,
now it's really hard.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
I mean you need there's been a sort of an
elasticity about it, like sometimes during some administrations, it's been
easier than others. When Obama was president, as you know,
he was trying to normalize relations with Cuba, there was
really a sense that there was going to be finally
a dropping of the embargo and all that stuff. But
now it's much tougher again. So when I went, I
(13:26):
went with a bunch of journalists. And when I say
a bunch, I think it was just one other guy.
But we stayed. And my friend knows Cuba really well.
He is he Cuban, No, but he's been down there
a lot. He's kind of one of those he's an entrepreneur,
he's kind of a hotelier and he's very active in
(13:49):
Brazil and No, he just knows the territory really well.
And he bought a car for one of the guys
down there. Since it's so hard, I mean's are really tough.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Life.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
Every no one has any money, and he a car
in Cuba anyway, So we're in a van and we're
visiting this guy who he had bought a car for
and this is the weird thing in Cuba. And there
is this guy who was on TV. He's kind of
like a cross between like the host of Wheel of Fortune,
(14:21):
who is a Ryan Seacrest now or whatever, and or
Pat Sajack and Lester Holt. So if you put those
two people to get kind of a news guy, but
who had also introduced like variety acts on television. And
this is fifteen years ago in Cuba. The reason I
mentioned it is when you walk around with him, it
was like walking around with a pope. Wow, everybody's yelling
to him. Julio Julio right, Yeah, so it was really wild.
(14:43):
So we pull into a one of these old hotels
where the mobsters used to hang out down there in
the vana. Yeah, and people are pointing at Julio. I'm
standing right behind Julio, But Tim, those people were not
pointing at Julio that time. Really, they the big fans
(15:04):
recognized me, and I'm thinking, how do you recognized me? No,
they recognized me from Guinness prime time, the show that
was on Fox where people come on and set records.
They watched that show. I mean, this is a large
group of PEO. Had have been thirty people who are
employees of this hotel. They watch it on the satellite.
(15:24):
They jacked the satellites. Illegal, okay, but they there, but
they're satellites everywhere. Everybody's got a satellite dish. And they
watched it on Telemundo. Telemundo had bought the you know,
it was off of Network TV here and been sold
to Telemundo or whatever. The Spanish Pobland is in Cuba,
and they used to watch it there.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
So it was my great wow moment with Julio. Julio.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Yeah, they recognized me, but I'll tell you that it
the one thing that was amazing as Julio's brother was
a brain surgeon and he made no money.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Imagine being I mean that skilled a surgeon.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
This is in Cuba, where everybody's working for the state.
You get whatever salary it is, you just get it.
And the only people that really had money, the only
opportunities were people who are working with tourists or people
who work in the hotel business where you get tips
gratuity type driven businesses. And the way that I recognized
that he had no money is that at the end
of dinner, because we'd have dinner for the entire time
(16:23):
we were there, every night of the week, he would
take all of the leftovers everything, and he take them
back to his family because people, I mean, imagine this
guy's a skilled neurosurgeon and he's you know, his family's
starving right now.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
In Cuba, they have a level two increase in crime.
They said, exercise extreme caution in Cuba. Be aware of
your surroundings, do not physically resist any robbery attempt. Do
not display signs of wealth such as wearing expensive watches
or jewelry, and you're on your own. They said, you know,
(16:58):
good luck crime. And they said petty crime such as pickpocketing,
purse snatching, and car breaks and car break ins are
also pretty common. And they also said violent crime, including
arm robbery and homicide sometimes occur in Cuba.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I don't know, though.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
They're cops everywhere, and they really they have like five
different kinds of cops. They're you know, and that's what
that why the population is so scared. They're scared to
say anything, you know, that's disparaging about the government.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Do you feel like you could have gotten kidnapped?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
No? No, I never.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
I felt as though actually they don't want anything bad
to happen.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Did you have a cigar, a Cuban cigar?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I did?
Speaker 8 (17:39):
I did. I'd love to go to Cuba. It was
pretty great. It was pretty exotic.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Did you have to fly somewhere else in another country
before you went there?
Speaker 8 (17:45):
We flew, No, Mexico, flew from La to uh to Havana, really,
and the reason was we I went as a journalist,
but most everybody else on the flight was there for
humanitarian But that's the other way you can get a visa.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Wow, man, it was pretty It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And I heard the the meals are great, the prices
are great, and there are a lot of people who
love Americans down there.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I'll tell you what. They were super chatty with me.
That's great that it was really pretty great. I love Cuba.
I'm Cuba.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We have weather coming in weather and you're a weatherman,
yeah or ex weatherman?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Really?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
In the former? Are you always a weatherman? Or like
a marine, like once a marine, a president president.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I don't think so, but I mean, I I sometimes
I'll jump back into the charts, but mostly i'm.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
How long would it take you to predict if you
had to do it on your own, predict the next
four or five days?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Hour? Not? Yeah? Less than an hour?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Really?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Oh? Yeah? I mean it's there. Yeah, it's a Do.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You steal information from other weathermen?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I've never done that.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
What I did say I did once is a gag
because I blew a forecast on five to eleven. It
was really a bad one, and I said, hey, I've
got a confession to make, and this is really hard
for me to because I know I did blow the forecast.
But for the first time, I came in late yesterday
and I just copied down with Dallas Rains.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Did it ever get back to him?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
I don't know if it did, or know. Everybody in
set laughed. It was it was fun. It was obviously
I was kidding.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
But is he the current king of all weather?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
You tell me. I think so. He's kind of the
ranking officer on deck. I think I think he's I
think look, I'm a senior. He's a senior guy.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I think they all do great.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I think that that Dallas Rain spends more time on
charts and looking in information than I think other weather
been doing.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I might be wrong, no, but he definitely has that
connection to the material that seems to suggest that.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Like when Dallas Rains said it's going to be you know,
sunny or raining or whatever, I think he's probably accurate,
like ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
I mean again, I I mean, but that's the impression
you get.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's right, right, Yeah, all right. Here is Dallas rains
all right from my ABC.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Seven beautifully on the satellite image. Here's the cold front
generating that action. The front will arrive in southern California
on Wednesday, so tomorrow and tomorrow looks like a pretty
good looking day and then clouds increasing during the day,
and by late tomorrow night a slight chance and then
as we get into Wednesday, we'll have a good moisture
flow into southern California.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
But okay, so this was I think this was from
early today. So I think it's going to rain tonight
and then into tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Now, there is not a lot of dynamics, so therefore,
I'm not forecasting any very heavy rain for so Cal.
Let's go through time. The big Low spins off of Portland,
powerful shoving heavy rain into northern California, snow in the Sierra.
Then by Wednesday night starts to break up a little bit.
But look what's coming. We have another batch a little
what we call a little shortwave energy comes into southern
(20:56):
California on Thursday, Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Okay, here's what I have on my phone. It's very accurate.
Going to be raining tonight starting a little before midnight
all the way till eight am. Rain in southern California
from midnight till eight am. And then on on Thursday,
Thursday night after six pm all through the night until
(21:22):
four am. Oh so a lot of late a lot
of night rain. Yeah, night rain.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
I think that's how they should do the weather, actually
with a guy who's standing there looking at his phone
like you just did, and say, and so tomorrow is
a it's a cloud with a little sun by it,
but there's mostly then some rain drops. I think for much, right,
why waste everybody's time. Yeah, let's just boil it down
to a cartoon.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Let's get to.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
It, and then it should move out as we head
toward the weekend. Overall rainfall totals between about one half
and about an inch of rain in most areas. We'll
have details for that for you coming up with Danny
in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Okay, all right, then Pa H is closed because of
the storms that are coming at Sure.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
We're just steps away from where that road closure is
set to happen. Now you'll notice behind me they are
still letting cars through the area of a cruise have
been out here all day long preparing for right here,
this intersection where pH is going to be closed, and
we've spoken to people that say this is much more
than just a road closure for commuters. A lot of
folks going to be impacted in the days to come.
(22:23):
All eyes are on the Palisades Burned Scar as another
storm system moves into southern California, the anticipated rainfall prompting
cal Trands to close pH just days after reopening.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
We've heard from our technical engineers and the burn Scar
areas are highly susceptible to geohanzards such as mudslids and
difference flows because the lack of vegetation and the change
and the soil.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of that, you know,
the the burned out, scarred areas are gonna they're gonna
be panicked. Do you think there is there's a sense
of you know, if you're living in the Pacific Palisades,
and do you think there's a not a competition, but
a sense of, Oh, that guy's already cleared his property,
Mine's not cleared.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I got to catch up. I got to do some
more work on my.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Phone, keeping up with the Jones.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, don't you think.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I don't know about that?
Speaker 8 (23:17):
But that's I mean, it's I do think that there's
a real concern as to how quickly they can clean
up and how quickly they can rebuild those who want to.
There's just so many unanswered questions. And then, of course
you got a rain like this that you're talking about,
and that may change the arithmetic in certain areas if
there are slides.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
When do you think we'll be able to drive through
Pacific Palisades and not see any evidence that there was
ever a fire? A long long time, ten years maybe
maybe more, Yeah, oh my god. And that and it
only took one day, Yeah, one day, I mean of
supercharged winds like that that was really what did it?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
That's the worst.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Gone Way Show.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Mark Thompson's here, very popular show on YouTube, The Mark
Thompson Show, The Mark Thompson Show.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Thank you for mentioning it. Tom. It's a free show
and I appreciate it. You've been very supportive.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know what I hear a lot about nowadays?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
The price of eggs? It's on the news every day.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Yeah, I guess it was big in the election, and
now since the election is over, it's still big.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It's huge. And guess who's gonna stick.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
It to you?
Speaker 8 (24:28):
Waffle House? No, no, yeah, waffle The sweet people at
waffle House are going to stick it to me.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Every egg you buy, they're going to stick it to you.
Speaker 11 (24:35):
People ordering breakfast at waffle House locations across the country
are now paying fifty cents more per egg.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
The restaurant chain says it added an egg surcharge because
of higher prices. Egg prices have soared amid a shortage
following a bird flu outbreak. Waffle House says the surcharge
will only be in place until egg prices come down.
There are no locations here in California.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
All right, don't forget. It's going to rain tonight and
tomorrow night, la, so be aware of that. Also, have
you heard of this this study that came out recently
called they're calling it plastic brain?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Oh yeah, isn't that? I have crazy?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
It is so matched up. Tell everybody, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Get these little plastic pieces stuck in your brain.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
New study reveals the human brain may contain a spoonful
of plastic. Researchers at the University of New Mexico found
that the average brain has the equivalent of about seven
grams of microplastics. That's about fifty more than studies revealed
back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
How much is that? Is that like a big coke
bottle of plastic?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I think it's like a tea spoonful?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I thought it was like a big coke bottle, like
one of those two liter ones stuck in your brain.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Just the plastic, well, like just.
Speaker 8 (25:46):
Your brain though, Yeah, teaspoonful is like a big lider bottle.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But it's all over your body too. Yes, we're full
of plastics.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
Human livers and kidneys also showed increases. Experts say is
plastic breaks down over time, the greeds into smaller pieces,
eventually small enough to slip inside the body. The potential
health implications are still not clear.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah, oh, it can only be good for you. I
bet they're clear.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
I think the potential health implications are extraordinarily clear.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I drink out of a plastic bottle every day, maybe
four or five of these. I've got to have a
twenty four pack somewhere in my brain, yeah, or in
my liver or something.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I've got to have a ton of plastic on me.
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Maybe what they've noticed is, and this is sort of
part of that same study, is that people with Alzheimer's
or dementia have three times the normal amount. That is
to say, oh, really, the new baseline amount of plastic
in their brains. Yeah, oh, I didn't know that. I mean,
this is obviously early on, but that's what I was reading.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
We've got a new promo. Do we run here at KFI?
Would you like to hear it?
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, let's hear it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Here we go, brand new promo.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't hear that conversation on any other radio stations.
I can't be the only transsexual ally in radio. Is
that possible that I'm the only ally that the transsexual
community has in radio.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
And I'm tired of having to do all the work myself.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You're a torch bearer, that's right.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I'm a trend center.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
You're the leader, leader of the parade, the trend center.
Tim Conway Junior, I'm something.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I'm something weekdays four to seven pm on KF I
am six quarters stimulating.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Getting showcase the way it is. I'm an ally. Yeah,
you really are.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, nobody, nobody's carrying that torch but me.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
I'm for any promo that has my voice just chiming
in a little bit.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It's fine, that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You're you were on that day.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, very very cool that they have that on there.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
All right, let's talk about Okay, here's one. Here's one
Cores Cores Beer. You're probably familiar with Cores beer. Yeah,
they help Mondays in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
There's going to be an ad capture.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
That feeling that a lot of us have the morning
after the Super Bowl and epic case of the Mondays.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Okay, the Mondays, the Mondays after Super Bowl. Everybody's aren't
on Monday.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Tomorrow, We'll all have a case of the Mondays.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
So of course light made a better case to help
you chill.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Get a case of the Mondays.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Well, it might have been a spy you needed to see.
That's what I'm guessing from that.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You're right, you can go with.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
A sloth in a com Come up, we're all just
smiling at it.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Okay, I forgot that.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
That's the big thing, Tim, is super Bowl commercials coming up.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
You know what it started though, I mean the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It used to be you had to watch the super
Bowl to see the super Bowl commercials. Then the Darth Vader,
the kids starting the car, the Volkswagen.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
The agency that put that out, they put it out
two weeks before the super Bowl, and they got more
hits before the super Bowl they did on Super Bowl.
And now all the agencies do it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
I see, But I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I like to be surprised watching the super Bowl as
opposed to them. They sort of like just leaking in
over there two weeks before. Sure, Yeah, I don't like that. Now,
you're right, it changed things. I didn't know the history
behind it. It was because they did so well with that
one that they pre released with that one commercial where
the kid was dressed as Darth Vader.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
And he was going around trying to start the car.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Very funny. It was very great.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I don't know how many volkswagens they sold off it,
but everybody remembers it.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah, so that's a cool deal, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
The storm is on its way tonight and tomorrow night,
Tuesday night, Wednesday night and Thursday. And you got to
be aware of it. If you live in a burn
scar area. I know that you were in the burn
scar area in Brentwood.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's did the rain after your house was burned not.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Not sufficiently to produce a slide?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Have you been back to see what they've done with
the neighborhood.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
I have, and I'm actually going to. I want to
go back. It's funny to say this. I want to
go back in the next couple of weeks. You know,
we have friends there who one couple is still there
in the neighborhood, like they held even though all the
houses burned, like so my house burned damage, not completely
burned down. Their house didn't get damaged, so that they stayed.
But now what we're learning, of course, is all the
(30:27):
smoke in elation and having to remediate all that stuff
smoke damage. But they did move back in, and we
want to go back and see them.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
How long between the time that U Street burned they
moved back in.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Uh so they tried to continue there and they said, wow,
you did the right thing by leaving because it's really
hard around here right now. So they moved out for
a little while, I think a few months, and then
they moved back in.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
That could be you should interview those people on your podcast.
It could be inspiration for people. That's a good idea
they have to rebuild. Yeah, that's a good idea. I
think I might do that.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
There's a lot of people that are looking for that
kind of it. That's actually a really good idea. Thanks,
I will do that.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I'll tell you. Do you have any other ideas for
the show? I do? I do? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
More a Trump talk Yes, yes, I know you love
that beat up on that guy Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Well he's not at all controversial.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Thanks buddy, Thanks for coming in.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I love you, enjoy you all the Conway kids love it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Have a great super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (31:25):

Before we get to the number one song, we have
White House Correspondent and iHeart. It's It's Iheart's White House
Correspondent John Decker.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
John, how are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hey, I'm doing great, Tim. I hope you're doing well today.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Johnny, I got done. Glad you're on the phone. We
went through the top ten songs of all time, and
I know you're you're a music fan, so I'm gonna
play you the number one song according to I want
to hear it, Okay, according to Billboard. I'm sorry rolling
Stone Magazine, this is the number one song of all time.
Like a Rolling Stone man. Oh man, you big Bob
(00:44):
Dylan fan.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know that wouldn't have been my number one choice, Tim.
I'm just saying, I think my number one choice would
have been a Rolling Stone song. That would have been
And if I had to pick a specific one for
the Devil, that's my favorite song all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Mine is is Double Dutch Bus.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's a great song.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
That's a good one too.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, all right, So John, Look, John's very polite, John.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I can't remember the last time that there was a
president in the Oval office where he dominated every single
news cycle, every hour of every day, every time I
turned TV on, it's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Well it happened, as you may recall, eight years ago.
For four consecutive years when Donald Trump was president the
first term, I don't think that there was a front
page in which he or his policies weren't on the
front page. And the same thing goes for television. You know,
he led the eight block for four years and now
he's back at it again, and I think he's doubled
(01:51):
down in terms of wanting to be the top story
for every news cycle, on every newscast.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So what's the latest we of bb Netanyahu in town
from Israel.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Huh, Well, that's right. I just came from the joint
press conference that Prime Minister Netanyah who had with President
Trump in the East Room at the White House, and
during that press conference, I think the big headline that
came out of it is that President Trump would like
to essentially remove all of the Palestinians from Gaza and
(02:26):
have the US take over Gaza long term and where
do those Palestinians are who would be displaced go? Well,
he says, to Egypt, to Jordan, to Saudi Arabia. I
don't think those countries necessarily want to take two million Palestinians.
In number one and number two, you know, no mention
(02:50):
at all about a two state solution, a separate Palestinian
state alongside the state of Israel. That is certainly not
what President Trump and visions. Based upon what I heard
during the press conference which concluded about an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You know, there has to be something. These people have
to live somewhere. They said ten to fifteen years to
fix Gaza where it can be inhabitable. Again, there's thirty
thousand live munitions, you know, bombs and grenades and explosives
in and around Gaza. Plus eight to eighty five percent
of the buildings could either fall down or should have
(03:31):
or have to be torn down.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Absolutely, it's uninhabitable right now. I think that's pretty clear.
And it's not just President Trump's saying that. It's agencies
associated with the United Nations refugee agencies as well. The
place essentially is a war zone in terms of what
Gaza has gone through. And remember all of this because
(03:56):
Hamas attacked Israel back on October seventh, the year half ago.
So this was a meeting in which this was I
think the headline that came out of the press conference,
but also the President speaking about taking a tighter tact
as it relates to Iran. That is something that Prime
Minister Netnyah who certainly agrees with and getting a commitment
(04:19):
from Hamas to return all of the hostages who have
been held since October the seventh, a year and a
half ago, and that will be part of phase two
of this ceasefire deal that was reached with Hamas several
weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
John Decker's with US White House correspondent for iHeart Media,
what do we know about his cabinet picks, any movement today?
I heard Pam Bondi's name thrown around anybody else, maybe Kennedy.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
So Pam Bondi was confirmed today by the Senate as
she is the new Attorney General of the United States.
And then it was a good day also for President
Trump's other choices for his cabinet. Why is that because
the Senate committees that have jurisdiction over the Department of
Health and Human Services, they gave a green light to
(05:10):
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, and he's on his way to
becoming the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Also,
in addition to that, it was a good day for
the President's choice to be Director of National Intelligence, Tulci Gabbert.
She passed out of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and I
think that she too has a clear path to being
(05:31):
the next DNI under President Trump.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I saw that she had a slim margin. Was it
nine to eight coming out of that committee?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, that sounds right. And the reason for that, you know,
I think is because of Susan Collins. Susan Collins I
think really gave a shot in the arm, a boost
to Tulsi Gabbert because yesterday she declared that she would
support Tulci Gabbert to beat dn I. She was seen
as a possible no vote, but she voted yet on
(06:01):
the nomination, and I think that sent a message to
other wavering Republicans in the Senate who may be thinking,
or we're thinking, perhaps about denying her a spot in
President Trump's cabinet.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Do you think Collins got a phone call from Trump
after she voted no on HeiG Seth.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I think that she is a political animal. Susan Collins.
You know, good years, bad years, when Republicans are down,
she still wins her Senate seat. She knows her state
pretty well. And you know, it's not a good look
if you're rejecting more than one of President Trump's choices
for his cabinet. As you point out, she already rejected
Pete Heg Sath to be Secretary of Defense. She along
(06:42):
with two other Senate Republicans, Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski.
And it took Vice President JD. Vance to break the
tie and put him on his way to being Secretary
of Defense.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
And I also heard.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And I saw today that we have, you know, guys
that maybe didn't finish, didn't go to finishing school, and
we're in this country, you know, less than legally that
they are on their way to Cuba on Guantanamo Bay.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, that's right, you know, back in the nineties. First
of all, I've been to Guantanamo Bay. I was with
I did a Yeah, I've been to Guantanamo. I was
there during George W. Bush's presidency. I took a chip
down there for four days when there were about one
hundred and fifty detainees housed at Guantanamo Bay associated with
the War on Terror. But also in the nineties I
(07:33):
covered what was happening at Guantanamo Bay with the thousands
upon thousands of Haitian refugees who are detained at Guantanamo Bay.
So it's not the first time this has happened. And
now President Trump sending the first planeload of migrants to Guantanamo.
He says up the thirty thousand could be detained there
(07:53):
until they ultimately are sent back to their home countries.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
You know, there's a I.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Looked at some of his up some history about Guantanamo Bay.
It's forty five square miles on the southern end of
the island, and the United States leases that property, although
Cuban never cashes the check because they want the Americans
out of there. So since the nineteen sixties or seventies,
America has been sending a check for forty five hundred
(08:20):
dollars to the Cuban government that they've never cashed.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, let me tell you another factot about Guantanamo. So
I flew down to Guantanamo from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It
was a military flight, and the people on my flight
were at the time lawyers that were representing detainees military
folks that were heading back after being on leave. I
was down there with my cameraman and guess how long
(08:45):
tim it takes you to get from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
down to Guantanamo Bacube. I'll give you one guess and
then I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, I would say it's a two hour and fifty
minute two hour flight.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Four hours and now right, four hours? Look at a map.
How did it take four hours? Well, first of all,
it's not a jet that we're flying number one, but
number two. More importantly, you can't fly in Cuban airspace down. Wow,
but all the way around the island to the back
end of the island, and that's how you make it
to Guantanamo Bay from South Florida.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
What a great piece of trivia that is.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You know what, My brother got married in Jamaica, and
I remember flying over Cuba or just to the south
of it, I guess. And to look down and say
Cuba for the very first time my life is and
after hearing all these stories about it, but you actually
showing up and going there, I mean Guantanao Bay is
not a small area too. It's forty five square miles.
That's not small.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Well, I've been in Cuba proper. I've been to Havana.
I was on a trip with President Barack Obama when
he traveled to Cuba, and that was a fascinating trip.
A week long trip to Havana, Cuba.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And it's it's like a has remained in place when
you're there. You see all these old nineteen fifties convertible cars.
I took a trip in one around the center of Havana.
It's remarkable. I had a great meal there. Let me
tell you about it, real quick, tim Sure, two lobster tales.
(10:18):
It was a great live entertainment. Two beers, ten dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
John.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I know you're a humble guy.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
You're not gonna ever promote this, but I feel like
I should. In the two formal press conferences that Donald
Trump has had, he's picked on one reporter or one
correspondent in both of those, and that person is you.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Well, look, you know I've known Donald Trump. Well, thanks.
I've known President Trump since I first interviewed him in
nineteen ninety nine. So I go back a long time
with President Trump, and in his first term, I you know,
strengthened the working relationship that I have with the President,
(11:05):
and hopefully that will continue in his second term. You know,
I asked tough questions to the president. He respects me
because I respect the office of the president.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I loved when when he called on you, I felt
like it was calling on me.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I think, I think we have that kind of connection.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But I really appreciate you coming on. I would love
to check back with you as often as we can.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I look forward to it. Have a great night, and
we'll talk to you real soon.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Thanks. All right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
John Decker, Iheart's White House correspondent in Washington, d C.
That guy's been around a long time. He knows everybody.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
I've been to Havana also. But I didn't want a
big footage story.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Wait, well you went to Havana Yeah, I don't want
a big football Well you got to come back and
talk about yeah, yeah, okay, all right, Okay, Mark is
going to lay some unbelievable stories on us about Havana Q.
Speaker 8 (11:53):
But recently, no, it was it had to be easily
fifteen years You go, oh, okay, that's recent. All right,
we'll come back and talk about it. That's great.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I know you you're old, but you go everywhere.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You went to Vietnam.
Speaker 8 (12:07):
Yeah, I went to Vietnam, and you go to Vietnam
when they were fighting. I went to Vietnam one as
a tourist. I mean, it's not quite the same thing.
And a lot of people went.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
All right, Mark's travels stories when we come back Cuba.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Thing is kind of there are a couple of cool
things that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Happened, and Mark's travel Stories are being brought to you
by oh Advanced Hair, one day treatment, life changing results.
Make your appointment today at Advanced Hair dot com.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Conway Show Thompson's here. Rain is on the way, Rain
is on the way. You're listening to Tim Conwaytuni. You're
on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Mark Thompson is here. He's in the house, yes, sir,
And it's going to rain. I don't know if you
know that.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
Yeah, I guess it's gonna What do they say, I
have to about an.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Inch of rain?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, but up in northern California you're getting eight to
ten inch.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
Oh yeah, that's that is a real different kind of weather.
System and Northnal. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
All right, let's talk about you going to Cuba. I
would love to go there, but I don't ever imagine
myself going. First of all, it's hard to get to. Yeah,
now it's really hard.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
I mean you need there's been a sort of an
elasticity about it, like sometimes during some administrations, it's been
easier than others. When Obama was president, as you know,
he was trying to normalize relations with Cuba, there was
really a sense that there was going to be finally
a dropping of the embargo and all that stuff. But
now it's much tougher again. So when I went, I
(13:26):
went with a bunch of journalists. And when I say
a bunch, I think it was just one other guy.
But we stayed. And my friend knows Cuba really well.
He is he Cuban, No, but he's been down there
a lot. He's kind of one of those he's an entrepreneur,
he's kind of a hotelier and he's very active in
(13:49):
Brazil and No, he just knows the territory really well.
And he bought a car for one of the guys
down there. Since it's so hard, I mean's are really tough.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Life.
Speaker 8 (14:00):
Every no one has any money, and he a car
in Cuba anyway, So we're in a van and we're
visiting this guy who he had bought a car for
and this is the weird thing in Cuba. And there
is this guy who was on TV. He's kind of
like a cross between like the host of Wheel of Fortune,
(14:21):
who is a Ryan Seacrest now or whatever, and or
Pat Sajack and Lester Holt. So if you put those
two people to get kind of a news guy, but
who had also introduced like variety acts on television. And
this is fifteen years ago in Cuba. The reason I
mentioned it is when you walk around with him, it
was like walking around with a pope. Wow, everybody's yelling
to him. Julio Julio right, Yeah, so it was really wild.
(14:43):
So we pull into a one of these old hotels
where the mobsters used to hang out down there in
the vana. Yeah, and people are pointing at Julio. I'm
standing right behind Julio, But Tim, those people were not
pointing at Julio that time. Really, they the big fans
(15:04):
recognized me, and I'm thinking, how do you recognized me? No,
they recognized me from Guinness prime time, the show that
was on Fox where people come on and set records.
They watched that show. I mean, this is a large
group of PEO. Had have been thirty people who are
employees of this hotel. They watch it on the satellite.
(15:24):
They jacked the satellites. Illegal, okay, but they there, but
they're satellites everywhere. Everybody's got a satellite dish. And they
watched it on Telemundo. Telemundo had bought the you know,
it was off of Network TV here and been sold
to Telemundo or whatever. The Spanish Pobland is in Cuba,
and they used to watch it there.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
So it was my great wow moment with Julio. Julio.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Yeah, they recognized me, but I'll tell you that it
the one thing that was amazing as Julio's brother was
a brain surgeon and he made no money.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Imagine being I mean that skilled a surgeon.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
This is in Cuba, where everybody's working for the state.
You get whatever salary it is, you just get it.
And the only people that really had money, the only
opportunities were people who are working with tourists or people
who work in the hotel business where you get tips
gratuity type driven businesses. And the way that I recognized
that he had no money is that at the end
of dinner, because we'd have dinner for the entire time
(16:23):
we were there, every night of the week, he would
take all of the leftovers everything, and he take them
back to his family because people, I mean, imagine this
guy's a skilled neurosurgeon and he's you know, his family's
starving right now.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
In Cuba, they have a level two increase in crime.
They said, exercise extreme caution in Cuba. Be aware of
your surroundings, do not physically resist any robbery attempt. Do
not display signs of wealth such as wearing expensive watches
or jewelry, and you're on your own. They said, you know,
(16:58):
good luck crime. And they said petty crime such as pickpocketing,
purse snatching, and car breaks and car break ins are
also pretty common. And they also said violent crime, including
arm robbery and homicide sometimes occur in Cuba.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I don't know, though.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
They're cops everywhere, and they really they have like five
different kinds of cops. They're you know, and that's what
that why the population is so scared. They're scared to
say anything, you know, that's disparaging about the government.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Do you feel like you could have gotten kidnapped?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
No? No, I never.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
I felt as though actually they don't want anything bad
to happen.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Did you have a cigar, a Cuban cigar?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I did?
Speaker 8 (17:39):
I did. I'd love to go to Cuba. It was
pretty great. It was pretty exotic.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Did you have to fly somewhere else in another country
before you went there?
Speaker 8 (17:45):
We flew, No, Mexico, flew from La to uh to Havana, really,
and the reason was we I went as a journalist,
but most everybody else on the flight was there for
humanitarian But that's the other way you can get a visa.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Wow, man, it was pretty It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And I heard the the meals are great, the prices
are great, and there are a lot of people who
love Americans down there.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
I'll tell you what. They were super chatty with me.
That's great that it was really pretty great. I love Cuba.
I'm Cuba.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We have weather coming in weather and you're a weatherman,
yeah or ex weatherman?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:34):
Really?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
In the former? Are you always a weatherman? Or like
a marine, like once a marine, a president president.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I don't think so, but I mean, I I sometimes
I'll jump back into the charts, but mostly i'm.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
How long would it take you to predict if you
had to do it on your own, predict the next
four or five days?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Hour? Not? Yeah? Less than an hour?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Really?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Oh? Yeah? I mean it's there. Yeah, it's a Do.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You steal information from other weathermen?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
I've never done that.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
What I did say I did once is a gag
because I blew a forecast on five to eleven. It
was really a bad one, and I said, hey, I've
got a confession to make, and this is really hard
for me to because I know I did blow the forecast.
But for the first time, I came in late yesterday
and I just copied down with Dallas Rains.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Did it ever get back to him?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
I don't know if it did, or know. Everybody in
set laughed. It was it was fun. It was obviously
I was kidding.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
But is he the current king of all weather?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (19:25):
You tell me. I think so. He's kind of the
ranking officer on deck. I think I think he's I
think look, I'm a senior. He's a senior guy.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I think they all do great.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I think that that Dallas Rain spends more time on
charts and looking in information than I think other weather
been doing.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I might be wrong, no, but he definitely has that
connection to the material that seems to suggest that.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Like when Dallas Rains said it's going to be you know,
sunny or raining or whatever, I think he's probably accurate,
like ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
I mean again, I I mean, but that's the impression
you get.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
That's right, right, Yeah, all right. Here is Dallas rains
all right from my ABC.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Seven beautifully on the satellite image. Here's the cold front
generating that action. The front will arrive in southern California
on Wednesday, so tomorrow and tomorrow looks like a pretty
good looking day and then clouds increasing during the day,
and by late tomorrow night a slight chance and then
as we get into Wednesday, we'll have a good moisture
flow into southern California.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
But okay, so this was I think this was from
early today. So I think it's going to rain tonight
and then into tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Now, there is not a lot of dynamics, so therefore,
I'm not forecasting any very heavy rain for so Cal.
Let's go through time. The big Low spins off of Portland,
powerful shoving heavy rain into northern California, snow in the Sierra.
Then by Wednesday night starts to break up a little bit.
But look what's coming. We have another batch a little
what we call a little shortwave energy comes into southern
(20:56):
California on Thursday, Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Okay, here's what I have on my phone. It's very accurate.
Going to be raining tonight starting a little before midnight
all the way till eight am. Rain in southern California
from midnight till eight am. And then on on Thursday,
Thursday night after six pm all through the night until
(21:22):
four am. Oh so a lot of late a lot
of night rain. Yeah, night rain.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
I think that's how they should do the weather, actually
with a guy who's standing there looking at his phone
like you just did, and say, and so tomorrow is
a it's a cloud with a little sun by it,
but there's mostly then some rain drops. I think for much, right,
why waste everybody's time. Yeah, let's just boil it down
to a cartoon.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Let's get to.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
It, and then it should move out as we head
toward the weekend. Overall rainfall totals between about one half
and about an inch of rain in most areas. We'll
have details for that for you coming up with Danny
in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Okay, all right, then Pa H is closed because of
the storms that are coming at Sure.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
We're just steps away from where that road closure is
set to happen. Now you'll notice behind me they are
still letting cars through the area of a cruise have
been out here all day long preparing for right here,
this intersection where pH is going to be closed, and
we've spoken to people that say this is much more
than just a road closure for commuters. A lot of
folks going to be impacted in the days to come.
(22:23):
All eyes are on the Palisades Burned Scar as another
storm system moves into southern California, the anticipated rainfall prompting
cal Trands to close pH just days after reopening.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
We've heard from our technical engineers and the burn Scar
areas are highly susceptible to geohanzards such as mudslids and
difference flows because the lack of vegetation and the change
and the soil.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of that, you know,
the the burned out, scarred areas are gonna they're gonna
be panicked. Do you think there is there's a sense
of you know, if you're living in the Pacific Palisades,
and do you think there's a not a competition, but
a sense of, Oh, that guy's already cleared his property,
Mine's not cleared.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I got to catch up. I got to do some
more work on my.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Phone, keeping up with the Jones.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, don't you think.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
I don't know about that?
Speaker 8 (23:17):
But that's I mean, it's I do think that there's
a real concern as to how quickly they can clean
up and how quickly they can rebuild those who want to.
There's just so many unanswered questions. And then, of course
you got a rain like this that you're talking about,
and that may change the arithmetic in certain areas if
there are slides.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
When do you think we'll be able to drive through
Pacific Palisades and not see any evidence that there was
ever a fire? A long long time, ten years maybe
maybe more, Yeah, oh my god. And that and it
only took one day, Yeah, one day, I mean of
supercharged winds like that that was really what did it?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
That's the worst.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Gone Way Show.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Mark Thompson's here, very popular show on YouTube, The Mark
Thompson Show, The Mark Thompson Show.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Thank you for mentioning it. Tom. It's a free show
and I appreciate it. You've been very supportive.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know what I hear a lot about nowadays?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
The price of eggs? It's on the news every day.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Yeah, I guess it was big in the election, and
now since the election is over, it's still big.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
It's huge. And guess who's gonna stick.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
It to you?
Speaker 8 (24:28):
Waffle House? No, no, yeah, waffle The sweet people at
waffle House are going to stick it to me.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Every egg you buy, they're going to stick it to you.
Speaker 11 (24:35):
People ordering breakfast at waffle House locations across the country
are now paying fifty cents more per egg.
Speaker 9 (24:41):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (24:42):
The restaurant chain says it added an egg surcharge because
of higher prices. Egg prices have soared amid a shortage
following a bird flu outbreak. Waffle House says the surcharge
will only be in place until egg prices come down.
There are no locations here in California.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
All right, don't forget. It's going to rain tonight and
tomorrow night, la, so be aware of that. Also, have
you heard of this this study that came out recently
called they're calling it plastic brain?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Oh yeah, isn't that? I have crazy?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
It is so matched up. Tell everybody, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Get these little plastic pieces stuck in your brain.
Speaker 12 (25:16):
New study reveals the human brain may contain a spoonful
of plastic. Researchers at the University of New Mexico found
that the average brain has the equivalent of about seven
grams of microplastics. That's about fifty more than studies revealed
back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
How much is that? Is that like a big coke
bottle of plastic?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
I think it's like a tea spoonful?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
I thought it was like a big coke bottle, like
one of those two liter ones stuck in your brain.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Just the plastic, well, like just.
Speaker 8 (25:46):
Your brain though, Yeah, teaspoonful is like a big lider bottle.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
But it's all over your body too. Yes, we're full
of plastics.
Speaker 12 (25:53):
Human livers and kidneys also showed increases. Experts say is
plastic breaks down over time, the greeds into smaller pieces,
eventually small enough to slip inside the body. The potential
health implications are still not clear.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah, oh, it can only be good for you. I
bet they're clear.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
I think the potential health implications are extraordinarily clear.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I drink out of a plastic bottle every day, maybe
four or five of these. I've got to have a
twenty four pack somewhere in my brain, yeah, or in
my liver or something.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I've got to have a ton of plastic on me.
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Maybe what they've noticed is, and this is sort of
part of that same study, is that people with Alzheimer's
or dementia have three times the normal amount. That is
to say, oh, really, the new baseline amount of plastic
in their brains. Yeah, oh, I didn't know that. I mean,
this is obviously early on, but that's what I was reading.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
We've got a new promo. Do we run here at KFI?
Would you like to hear it?
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, let's hear it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Here we go, brand new promo.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't hear that conversation on any other radio stations.
I can't be the only transsexual ally in radio. Is
that possible that I'm the only ally that the transsexual
community has in radio.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
And I'm tired of having to do all the work myself.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You're a torch bearer, that's right.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I'm a trend center.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
You're the leader, leader of the parade, the trend center.
Tim Conway Junior, I'm something.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I'm something weekdays four to seven pm on KF I
am six quarters stimulating.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Getting showcase the way it is. I'm an ally. Yeah,
you really are.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, nobody, nobody's carrying that torch but me.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
I'm for any promo that has my voice just chiming
in a little bit.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It's fine, that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You're you were on that day.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, very very cool that they have that on there.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
All right, let's talk about Okay, here's one. Here's one
Cores Cores Beer. You're probably familiar with Cores beer. Yeah,
they help Mondays in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
There's going to be an ad capture.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
That feeling that a lot of us have the morning
after the Super Bowl and epic case of the Mondays.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Okay, the Mondays, the Mondays after Super Bowl. Everybody's aren't
on Monday.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Tomorrow, We'll all have a case of the Mondays.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
So of course light made a better case to help
you chill.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Get a case of the Mondays.
Speaker 8 (28:30):
Well, it might have been a spy you needed to see.
That's what I'm guessing from that.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You're right, you can go with.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
A sloth in a com Come up, we're all just
smiling at it.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Okay, I forgot that.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
That's the big thing, Tim, is super Bowl commercials coming up.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
You know what it started though, I mean the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It used to be you had to watch the super
Bowl to see the super Bowl commercials. Then the Darth Vader,
the kids starting the car, the Volkswagen.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
The agency that put that out, they put it out
two weeks before the super Bowl, and they got more
hits before the super Bowl they did on Super Bowl.
And now all the agencies do it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
I see, But I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I like to be surprised watching the super Bowl as
opposed to them. They sort of like just leaking in
over there two weeks before. Sure, Yeah, I don't like that. Now,
you're right, it changed things. I didn't know the history
behind it. It was because they did so well with that
one that they pre released with that one commercial where
the kid was dressed as Darth Vader.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
And he was going around trying to start the car.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Very funny. It was very great.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I don't know how many volkswagens they sold off it,
but everybody remembers it.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah, so that's a cool deal, all right.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Don't forget.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
The storm is on its way tonight and tomorrow night,
Tuesday night, Wednesday night and Thursday. And you got to
be aware of it. If you live in a burn
scar area. I know that you were in the burn
scar area in Brentwood.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It's did the rain after your house was burned not.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Not sufficiently to produce a slide?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Have you been back to see what they've done with
the neighborhood.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
I have, and I'm actually going to. I want to
go back. It's funny to say this. I want to
go back in the next couple of weeks. You know,
we have friends there who one couple is still there
in the neighborhood, like they held even though all the
houses burned, like so my house burned damage, not completely
burned down. Their house didn't get damaged, so that they stayed.
But now what we're learning, of course, is all the
(30:27):
smoke in elation and having to remediate all that stuff
smoke damage. But they did move back in, and we
want to go back and see them.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
How long between the time that U Street burned they
moved back in.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
Uh so they tried to continue there and they said, wow,
you did the right thing by leaving because it's really
hard around here right now. So they moved out for
a little while, I think a few months, and then
they moved back in.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
That could be you should interview those people on your podcast.
It could be inspiration for people. That's a good idea
they have to rebuild. Yeah, that's a good idea. I
think I might do that.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
There's a lot of people that are looking for that
kind of it. That's actually a really good idea. Thanks,
I will do that.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
I'll tell you. Do you have any other ideas for
the show? I do? I do? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
More a Trump talk Yes, yes, I know you love
that beat up on that guy Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Well he's not at all controversial.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Thanks buddy, Thanks for coming in.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I love you, enjoy you all the Conway kids love it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Have a great super Bowl.
