Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF. I am six forty and you're listening
to the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
It's Conway Show. Mark Thompson is with us.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Oh thank you. Everybody, please be seated. My goodness, it's overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
So we're gonna talk to Alex Stone, but we also
want to talk to you about why you were hospitalized.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh yes, I cheated death, Tim, Yes, I'm happy to
share all the details.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I hope you got the flowers my wife sent. It
was way too expensive.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Feeling very good about all the support you gave me.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I couldn't believe how much he spent on flowers. Well,
and I said, I said, why did you pay forty
five dollars for delivery? Why didn't you just take them
over there? You're not doing anything. I wonder how that
ended pretty poorly. I canceled the credit at the florists
over there over you. Wow, Yeah, we're not doing credit
(00:49):
anymore with the flora. It's one hundred and forty five
dollars for the arrangement and forty five dollars to deliver them.
I'd rather just give you two hundred dollars to go
to Vegas and play poker.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
With I would have rather had it that way also,
yeah right, yeah, but they were lovely.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okank, you you're welcome, all right. Alex Stone is with us.
That guy is great.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
He's the real thing.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
But before we get to Alex Stone, is he what
is he on the is he calling? Or is he
on comrades access? Okay, then we have got a good
clear uh action with him today.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You're clear to clear to land.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, Alex Stone, how you boy?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You guys?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Oh man?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Wait, why did you send Mark Flowers?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Because he he got he was he messed up his
finger and he was hospitalized.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's my whole hand, Tim, It's not just my finger.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Is your hand? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's fun? It's like touch and go. It's still not
completely done, Alex. Since Alex brought it up, what was
wrong with it?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I have a condition that's not so uh common, unconnous,
not so uncommon in people like myself. In other words,
it's a common condition.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, Well, then why don't you say it's a common condition?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
All right, it's a common condition among some people myself.
Among them, it's called trigger finger. Okay, when your finger lit.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Well, when you say amongst some people. You're saying, like
tall white guys, I mean sexy people. Tim, I didn't
want to say sexy, but I've said it. Okay, But no,
I don't really know if it favors certain people or others,
but I know that there are others who have had
to deal with it too. It's not the problem is
that it's painful and it locks your hand in positions
you literally can't open. You've been fighting them for a while, yeah,
(02:25):
for a.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Couple of years. So finally I went and got the surgery.
And the surgery is not a big deal. It's just
that the post surgical stuff, you know, the the you've
got to get the hand back into movement. You got
to reach a physical therapy. Physical terrorists won't call me back.
Oh my god, this is gonna think And in the meantime,
it's the pain can be a little rough. In the
days that followed, it's like lockjaw on your hand. Thank you,
(02:47):
that's exactly what it is. That's a lockdow. Yeah, yeah,
thank you. Didn't amputate, but.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, honestly, a got Alex. This guy was in pain
every day for the last three years. Every time he
came in he had a new brace on it or
new school.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
There's one thing about it that was pretty bizarre or
just vexing. I was, it's on my right hand, and
when people shake hands with me, it's incredibly painful.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And yet and you know here at the radio stition,
you get all these people through, you know, whoever, and
they're shaking hands that and guys have this thing where
we want to like really squeeze the pision's hand, they
show and the harder they squeeze, the more intense to pain.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Did you ever mention it?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
No, but for two years and you mentioned it once.
She said, God, you look like you were wincing with pain.
Well I remember then. I thought, yeah, it's really painful
every time. So it's good to be past that, and
I hope I'll be able to rehab it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I would rather have pain in my hand and give
a guy a firm squeeze and have that dead fish.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh yeah, no I don't, but you to have that.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Dead like a sort of sweaty fish. A guy gives you.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Get their hand wrong and you're like, wait, let me
do that again.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Sorry about or the guy. The guy reaches work for
the left because his right hand's missing.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, that was one of the problems that I had,
which is that I couldn't squeeze very hard because the pain.
And I always wanted to say, hey, by the way,
my real handshake is a lot harder than.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You just left it till people left you and went wow,
he didn't have much money.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, I kind of lame handshake.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You had three years of handshakes to catch up. Thank you,
all right, Alex Stone, It looks like teriffs are affecting
the weather.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
They're affecting everything, so why not? Yeah, down the dow
down almost seventeen hundred points today.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
How are they affecting Wendy Williams? Is there any update?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well, if she has a four oh one K, it's
probably way down just like everybody's today. But yeah, Stillantis
said tonight. They're the ones who make Jeep, Chrysler and
Dodge Ram or whatever that all of those are nine
hundred workers that they're temporarily laying off because of this,
and Ferrari says that you should have bought your Ferrari earlier.
(04:48):
This week. They're the first ones to come out and
say that they're going to be adding up to ten
percent on the every car sold in the US as
a result of it.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Out of one hundred guys who are going to buy
a Ferrari, how many does that dissuade?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Right? Is there?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
What is a Ferrari two hundred grand?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I don't know, but let's ask Mark. He's got one.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, probably more. Oh, it depends on the model. I
think it doesn't. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You really have a Ferrari? No?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, well, I mean it's a lot of money, but
starting from around two hundred and forty thousand to half
a mill Wow, so.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Ten percent doozy. But I guess if you can afford that,
you don't really.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Care, right, I mean, if you have that kind of dough,
you don't give a red sass.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, unless the way just barely getting by to get one,
you know, to flex the muscles and then oh it
just went up another.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
But isn't it now more of a brag to get
a new one since you're gonna have tariffs on it?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
That's true when it drives by and you go look at.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
That terriff vehicle, Right, baby, I don't even care about tariffs.
Look what I got.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I got this. I got this after the Terroiffs kicked out. Yeah,
this is this is a post terror Ferrari.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So we talked to a general sales manager at GMC
dealership down in San Diego. He says, it's kind of
crazy right now. It's like going back to COVID time,
where people are like willing or will be willing to
go over MSRP and thinking they're gonna deal.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
There's a tremendous amount of uncertainty in the marketplace right now,
and this time brings us back to the COVID prices
where things elevated in terms of a price point due
to the shortage of inventory and supply for the consumer.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Because of that, it's not just new cars but used cars.
That market is already going up because one there's demand
on for that because people aren't buying new cars, but
also people aren't selling their cars to create used cars
so much so web Bush Securities came out with a
new forecast. They're saying, on the low end, the average
car will go up, the domestic car with you know,
typically it's going to have foreign parts in it, so
(06:36):
the end because of demand is going to go up
five grand. And on the higher side, the average car
will go up fifteen thousand dollars whoa. Yeah, so it's
a you know, a fair amount. But then you have
other things like avocados, you know most of them. Yeah,
we grow some here, but most come in from South
America and Mexico. And people are are they're getting creative
that We talked to a guy up in Richmond. He's
(06:57):
selling avocado trees now where he's tells him five feet
tall so that they're already mature, so people can produce
their own avocados.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
He tells this, everybody needs an avocato tree for not
only the teriffs, to save some money, and the fact
that you'll be the coolest kid in the block if they're.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Doing which is true. We have people in our newsroom
who bring them in and they they are the coolest
on the block.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But do people bring him into the newsroom have forty trees?
That is true?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And the people have three.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Trees, right, people have three trees? Never ever see one?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, it's like a lemon tree where I plant it,
or an orange tree and nothing ever happens. But the
neighbor always has a million lemons down the street, but
nothing happens to me. The olive oil from Italy that's
gonna wineries of course foreign wines, but but wineries domestically
say that because they get their glass bottles from overseas
that that they will see a rise beer imported beer, yes,
(07:49):
but also domestic companies are saying that because they use
so much aluminum cans, kegs, stainless steel, and aluminum fermentation tank,
that they're going to deal with it. Sky the oc
he owns a craft brewer.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
If the cost of producing something goes up, that'll pass
on to us and you know, eventually pass on to
the consumer.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
He said, he doesn't want to lay anybody off, but
he's probably gonna have to pass along the cost to
once they start seeing it with the aluminum. There are
some things on the grocery store that the grocery industry
is saying won't be impacted. Chicken, beef, a lot of
the veggies that are grown domestically because those are domestic products.
Unless this all goes really haywire and we go into
overdrive on inflation, then you could say we're already there,
(08:32):
but even more so that then those prices would go
out but directly from the tariffs that those domestic products
wouldn't except for things that are like in cans, so it's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Gonna be more expensive to be a vegan than a car.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, quite possibly. Also seafood, because a lot of seafood
that you eat comes from Vietnam and Island and elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I told you, I told Alex, I told you. I
told Mark Thompson last summer. I said, you want to
avoid all this vote for Kamala Harris and you guys,
you know you didn't listen to me. It didn't work out.
You know what, you know what stock was up today?
I noticed I look at the stock mark. You I
don't know any sharp Apple's way down? You know what
was way up? Goodyear because they're a domestic tires, their
(09:14):
tires here, I guess they do. You know they're up.
They're up eleven percent today in the te right, that's
a big deal, buddy. I appreciate you coming on, Alex Stone.
If you need tickets to sant Anita, you know I
know you're playing hard again. I'll yeah, please let me know.
All right, see about bad to hear your hands better?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Mark, Thanks Alex.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
There he goes Alex Stone. Man, you see the Dodgers
game less night.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Find believable.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What a game. We'll go back, we'll talk about that also, Well,
we talked about your hand.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, I got other maladies if you want to get
to those.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And I had a weird thing happened to me on
the way to work today. I got to tell you
about it was odd, man.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I want to hear about that, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And we're getting thunderstorms in North Hills, Mission Hills, Granada Hills,
San Fernando Hills, Silmar Hills, the whole hills. We're getting
rain and thunderstorms possible. And fortunately we have a weather
man with us who loves talking about weather, so we'll
do three and a half hours of that.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It is The Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here after
a couple of weeks without my Thompson right. Yeah, great
to be back. Yeah, I love it. And you were
down for a while, you know, recovering with your hand surgery.
I'm glad you're better, Thank you, pal. Now, what do
we know about this rain? I hear thunderstorms. I'm looking
(10:38):
at the radar right now, and the area that's being
affected is the area that we're in right now, the
San Fernando Valley No, that's not good. Well I don't know.
I mean I think it is. No, is it. It
just crossed San Fernando. It's coming towards us. It's making
a direct It's going to be a direct hit on
our studio in the next half hour, Bellio, batten down
the hatches. We're getting a direct hit from this big,
(11:00):
huge cell that's coming from Santa Clarita through San Fernando,
through the heart of the Valley van Eyes North Hollywood,
right into our building.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We could see it brewing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, we're going to get whacked by this thing that
has lightning and thunder potentially, and we are going to
get nailed in the next twenty minutes by this rain,
so please be aware of that. We got to be careful.
We could. You know, this is serious. There's streets flooding,
there's a lot going on, lot going on, and we
(11:33):
could get hit by this thing. So that's what's going on. Weatherwise.
Something odd happened to me on the way to work.
I was pulling into our driveway here at KFI at iHeartMedia,
and there's a guy crossing the street sort of parallel
to me, and I was waiting for him to cross
the street so I could move on. I don't want
(11:54):
to run over him. I wasn't in that kind of hurry.
And as he passed the car, I could see in
my rear view mirror that he was past me or
my side view mirror. But as I looked at my
side view mirror, I also saw a huge black cloud
over the horizon on the north side of Burbank near Silmar,
So I turned around to see the cloud. He turned
(12:17):
around and we caught eyes, and he waved to me,
and I waved to him. And I don't know whether
he was picking up on me or not. But two
things One I enjoyed the moment, sure, And two, when's
the last time somebody turned around and looked at you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, you're saying we've lost that connection with each other.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yes, everybody's buried in their phone. And if you turn
around to look at somebody, they're gonna accuse you of,
you know, of molesting them.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So we go about our ways. But you remember, Krozier,
This probably happened to you more than anybody because you're like,
you're sal Kilmer, Val Kilmer.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
God.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I'll get that right someday. But you probably had a
lot of women who walked by you and you turned
to a look at them, and they turned around and
looked at you when you're younger.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
And I don't know that I've ever had that really
unless since I mean not unless you're not counting my wife.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No, no, I don't. I don't count I sort of
count your wife, but I mean not every day. I
mean i'd like, you know, she's going to the bathroom,
and you know even then and you and you turn
your and you and you catch eyes and you're you're
leaving the bathroom.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
You're talking back when he was wearing the op shorts
with the mesh tank top.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
That's right, yeah, yes, No, you never had that, like
people turn around and look at you, like you went
to check them out and they turn around, they looked
at you. Two. I don't believe that I've had that
happen to me when I was younger. I believe that
nothing in the last thirty years. But I used to
when I was younger. Mark, I bet that's happened to you.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I'm kind of with Krozer. I don't think I know
I was turning around at the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Angel. That has to happen with you and Bellio all
the time. When you pass the guy, you t around
look at him, and they turn around look at you.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
I if I passed some guy that was worthy of
a second look, I would accidentally drop something so that
they can stop and pick it up for me.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Really, that's smart. M hmm Is that right? And that
works all the time. What would you drop? Like your
phone or your purse, your wallet.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Anything whatever was in my hands. I would just oh, whoops,
oh jeez, her fingers, you know, and they're like laughing
and they'd stop, and so, you know, I get a
nice look at what's going on there is they helped
me pick it every.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'll pick it up.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
There was a couple of times where you know, it
was just somebody absolutely void of chivalry that just didn't
stop at all.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And then all you hear is I'll get it my shell.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Yeah, oh, thanks for your help.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'll pick it.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Up my shell.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And the guys, oh man, I'm glad I didn't pick
that up dodged the bullet. Yeah, belly oh, you probably
have had guys turn around and you know check you
out all the time.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Wow, guys that are going to check you out as
you walk to Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
But for a different reason, like, wow, look at the
Bunyan's on that one. But Stephan, but that's happened to you.
You turn around and check out a check. She turns
around and looks at you. Okay, well look.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
At disgust can be a look.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I've got to I've got suspension. I've got to spend
more time with that lad. I've got to bring his
confidence up. He's a smart, funny guy. He works at
the number one talk station in America, on the number
one show. That's right in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You should try dropping stuff in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Which, by the way, I think is where Fush's look
could really take one. You know, yes, clean up on
the eye. You'd be the king of the i E.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You're like Val Kilmer in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah I'll be I'll be South Yeah, Kimber right exactly.
But all right, but anyway, so all right, we got
a lot to get We got these storms. We'll get
to those as well. Look I told you it's raining.
You can see it coming up over the Wiener Schnitzel.
It's raining over the Wiener Schnitzel. The Wiener Schnitzel is
(16:18):
getting rained on. You see then look at that. It's
they're they're they're showering over the Wiener schnitz What isn't it?
It's raining? Yeah, wow, it's raining on the Wiener Schnitzel.
That's how this segment will be described in the podcast.
It's raining on the Wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
People like what you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That rain is on us. Look at this. I mean
that that cell that went through San Fernando Valley is
now coming right up on Burbank and it's gonna explode
right into Burbank. Here it's coming up. If people know Burbank,
it's coming over the Wiener Schnitzel. Yeah, you know that's
a big deal. So there are isolated storms everywhere. What
is this mark? Where is this coming from?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I think these are pop up thunderstorms. I think there
it's a very unstable air mass from what I can see,
and they it's rotating through the area. It'll be through tonight.
I think pretty quickly it tapers off and then tomorrow,
shouldn't it shouldn't be a rain day.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Okay, So this storm right now is going to be
right over our heads in literally like five minutes. We
can see it at a distance here and you can
see all the rain and it's coming this way.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And again, you know these are thunderstorms. You could have
flash flooding and because you know, you can drop a
lot of water in a short time.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And is there any lightning association.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oftentimes be lightning hail, that kind of Oh yeah, all right,
did you watch the Dodger game last night? That was
big news, big finish. Huh, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Dodgers quickly are down five to nothing after a couple
of innings, five to nothing, and then boom, the Dodger start,
bats start getting hot, and they tied it in the
eighth inning. I think it was Max Munsey who had
a double to tie it. And then the guy who's
(18:10):
bobblehead was given out that night, Shoe Aotani, comes up
in the bottom of the ninth and hits a home
run to win it. What are the odds of that? Yeah,
I mean, you know on bibblehead night, right on his
bobblehead night, that he comes up and he hits a
home run in the ninth That's only a second ever
walk off homer for the Dodgers, I believe, And that
(18:33):
was a big night.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
He's really good, is that right? It just seems like
people should get hip to that. I think he's capable
of doing more of that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You know, we were talking about this yesterday. My wife,
who's not a sports hater, but I would say casually interested.
She thought that shoe Aotani came from Japan to the Dodgers. Oh,
she had no idea played for the angel I know that.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You know, it's funny when I was talking to who
is I talking to Petros and we're saying that, you know,
it's weird that we had sho Aotani in our you
know whatever you call it, the area of in our market,
in our market. He's exactly what I was think though,
Like in other words, our TV and radio stations all
covered him when he was playing for the Angels, and
(19:18):
yet the explosion in Showhy didn't hit until the Dodgers
brought him on board.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
They had five years of him with the Angels and
he was an MVP.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
He was great.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think like he was.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Buried two years he was MVP or three. I think
this is third one. So two with the Angels, one
with the Dodgers, and he you know, he could have
been as famous down there. Sure, And I don't know
what happened. I mean, that's what I was talking to
Petros about. I guess it's you.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You're with a team and the Dodgers that know how
to market, and they also built a team around him
maybe although they had Mike Trout with him down in
the in Anaheim. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But you know, I feel bad for the people who
were Angel fans because there there is a sen that
the Dodgers treat the Angels as a farm club. You know,
you can pick up a guy off of the Angels
and make an explode with popularity. The Angels could have
done that with them. I don't know why they didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Just don't know. They their marketing has to step up
because they had that jewel and then somehow that's right, Yeah,
it didn't turn into what it's turned into now.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And then you know, we talked yesterday on you know
they had two they have two superstars on the Angels
or they did you know what's his name? The Mike
Mike Trout. Yeah, and we were talking yesterday, Mike Trout probably.
I mean, look, in the in Major League Baseball, you
have two options. You can go to a team that's
(20:41):
really good and try to win a championship, or you
can make twenty five million a year, live in Newport
Beach and play at the Angel Stadium.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah. You know, I got to say, it's a pretty
I would do that. It's a pretty great place to
play baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I would do that. I don't need the ring. I
need the great place Newport Sure, true at the rings.
Charles Barkley doesn't have a ring. He's on TV every day.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, I'm with Mike Trout on that one. Mike Trout,
you and I are like brothers. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Give me, give me the southern California life.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Let me get out there. I'll do my best. I'll
try to win a championship, but I'm not going to uh,
you know, Chicago to win one.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah. It's not like they're pain minimum wage. I mean
you're here making some good bank.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah. I bet Mike Trout's making twenty five or thirty
twenty five million a year. Let's see what Mike Trout's
salary is. Let's just whip around. What is Mike Trout's
annual salary? All right, Okay, I got it. What does
Mike Trout make annually? Step oochem six million? All right, angel.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Let's go with U.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Thirty three million, thirty three million a right, bellio.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Twenty seven million, twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Million, mark, I'll say twenty two million, twenty two Krozer.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I was gonna say forty million, forty wow, anybody else
in there is Madden? Nope, okay, all right, the actual
the guy that got closest, and we don't do the
over or under. Yeah, I think because it's point one
two million, I think that Krozer got it. Thirty seven
(22:27):
point one million dollars a year. Nice, that's that's in
twenty twenty one. But I can't find his Uh let
me see. Trout signed a twelve year deal worth four
hundred and twenty six million dollars. Why do you need
a championship ring? If you're making four hundred and twenty
six twenty six million dollars, you don't need it. That's
(22:48):
probably got a beautiful place in Newport. I don't know
where he lives, but I would I would say I
would bet he's on the beach somewhere in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think there is
a part of these guys that wants to win a championship.
I think there is a part of these guys that
not him that that may I mean, I'm not suggesting
that he doesn't, you know, enjoy a pretty terrific life
and he's, you know, the great player on that team, right, but.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, Look, he could go to Philadelphia and win a championship,
or you know, he could have been you know, you
could go to uh, you know, pick the team that
comes out of the East and win a championship. But
he didn't. You know, he stayed with the Angel And.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I'm sure that's what they say to him. Man, you
can go to those markets. Your life's going to be miserable.
Here you got the beach, you're right, you know, and over.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
What a ring?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Who cares? Right? I mean he's driving around probably in
an eight hundred thousand dollars car, he's got a twenty
five million dollar place on the beach somewhere, and he
doesn't have a piece of metal on his finger, and
that's going to make it different. Now I'm with him,
I'm with Mike. I would be the Mike Trout of
the of Major League Baseball. Just set me up with
a nice house. I'll come in, I'll hit my home runs.
(24:01):
I'll try to do well. But I ain't chasing this thing.
I'm not chasing that trophy or that that ring. This
is not gonna happen. I'm out.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's pouring outside. Belly and I went to the fifth
floor where we could go outside, and we ran into
Sandy Stack, Sandy Stack Stack Stack, and she was inside
with a couple of with Wacko. Wacko is another guy
there and they're recording the rain. But they were inside
recording it through a window, and we said step aside.
(24:37):
We went out on the patio and.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
We got soaked, and Sandy's hair looks beautiful and mine
doesn't anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Thank you Conway. But Bellyo, you're a team player. I
am a team player, and I'm soaking wet now. Yeah,
I'm wet. My shoes are wet, my shirt's wet. I'm
soaking wet. Just in the in the one minute that
we're out there, it's pouring in Burbank. And so when
I came down here, I watched the video with with
the bell that she's putting up on Instagram and all
her social media, and I said, bellio, that was great.
(25:05):
I went to high five and she started laughing and
fell into the wall and broke the wall. Panel on
the wall. She broke a panel on the winter. I'll
go again the third time this week. Third time this week.
She's broken something in the studio. I was in there
the other day, which she did. Yeah, she just breaks everything.
She's like a bowl in a five with me. That's right.
(25:25):
I went to high five. I've never high five belly
on my life, and I hate high fives. And when
she saw me put that five up, she lost it,
lost it and flew into the KFI sign and broke it,
broke it. All right. This feature, this segment is being
brought to you by OH Advanced Hair, one day treatment,
(25:46):
Life changing Results. Make your appointment today at Advanced Hair
dot com. All right, we said earlier last week we're
all going to go out on Saturday to the Santa
Anita Derby, which is the day after tomorrow at Santa
Anita Mark. When's the last time you've been to sant Anina.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think I went with you, Tim. It was some
time ago, but okay, I think it was. That was
literally the last time I've been there.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So here's what happened. I said, hey, I'll give you
tickets if you want to go. And I thought we
were going to get ten requests. You know, guy was
going to be out four tickets per request. And I said, hey,
if you want to go, you know, email me. We've
got two hundred and twenty five requests.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
But I only had one hundred tickets. So I called Chappy,
my buddy at Santa Nina, and go, Buddy, you got
to bail me out here. I need a thousand more tickets.
And he's like, Buddy, I a thousand tickets. I said, yeah,
I got to take care of these people. And he
gave me a thousand tickets. We get him out to
the beautiful listeners. A lot of them will be there
for the very first time on Saturday. That's pretty cool,
and he is with us. We want to thank him. Chappy, Hi,
(26:48):
you bub good.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
They better be here. Come on, uh no rain Saturday.
We got good weather and it's going to be a blast.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh, it's gonna be great. Every time I walk into
Santa Anita, I feel like it's my very first time
walking into Disneyland. I can't believe how beautiful and big
that the grand stand is and the track is.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
Yeah, I mean it's a great place. This is my office,
believe it or not. So I've been doing this for
over twenty years and it never gets old when you
go out there, look at those mountains and oh yeah,
we're expecting a huge crowd and it's gonna be so
much fun. I'm assuming you're coming along with the lookers, right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Buddy, I'm coming out tonight sleeping over, but I can't wait.
So take us through the race day. What time do
you open? How many races on the card?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Okay, so our first post is at noon, so we
opened at ten am. We've got twelve, twelve races on
the code. So yeah, the final race goes off around
five thirty, so it's an all day affair. Of course,
the big race, San Anita Derby, that's the tenth race
(27:57):
on the card that's gonna go off at about thirty.
And as you know, the you know, it's a small field,
but it's not lacking in good horses that are going
to go on. I assume the winner of that race
will most likely be the Kentucky Derby favor.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh yeah, got to be looking at what maybe a
journalism What is your bet in the dirty.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Well in this Derby? I really think it's the two
horse races between the number one Journalism and the number
two for Bob Baffort's Citizen Bowl. I think Citizen Bowl
is going to go to the lead, and I think
Citizen Ball has a good shot of taking a gate
to wire. That doesn't mean I don't think Journalism is
not a better horse moving on to the first Saturday
(28:41):
of May, and it wouldn't surprise me if either of
them win. I think Journalism the longer they go, the
better he's going to get. But this Saturday, if I
had to put pick a horse, I'm going to take
Citizen Bowl on top.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, and it's not just the Santanita Derby. It's not
just twelve races on the card, but you also have
a lot of food try out there, you've got the
infield is a carnival.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
There's a carnival in the infield, the spring carnival of
course in the morning, you know, if you're a runner,
I'm too lazy, but there's a five k starting in
the morning. There are five k Derby Day run. Of course,
we've got like six thousand people signed up to run.
That's way too early for me. But we've got the
Spring Carnival in the infield good We've got a Derby
(29:25):
Day beer festival that's on the apron. We've got barbecue
in the lowje box seats. Then if you want to
get all dressed up in fancy, we've got the big
party in the chandelier room where there's a tequila tasting
and food and a band playing. So there's a little
something for everybody. And of course we got a lot
of gambling going on as well.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Buddy, I can't wait. I'm going to be out there
on Saturday. I'll be one of those guys standing waiting
for the gates to open at ten am.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Well you better be and look me up because I'm
doing a lot of homework right now as we speak,
and I've got any of winners for you, So hopefully
you and I can make a few bucks along the way.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And I will tell you the best homemade chili in
the United States is at Santa Anita. I've been trying
to get the recipe forever. Nobody will give it to me,
and so I have to buy the nine dollars chili.
It's a bargain at nine bucks and it's great. And
and last Saturday, I'm going out to the racetrack and
my wife says, where are you going? I said, oh, sorry,
(30:26):
I thought I told you I'm going to the racetrack.
And she said, why are you bringing saltine crackers with you?
And I said, well, I said, sometimes the guys don't
give me enough crackers, so I got to bring my own.
She said, wait a minute, You're going to the track
with your own crackers. Yeah, that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You gotta do what you gotta do, right, Like how

put my crackers right down there and that goes through
the metal detectors. Buddy, I will be This is a

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I hope you got the flowers my wife sent. It
was way too expensive.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Feeling very good about all the support you gave me.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I couldn't believe how much he spent on flowers. Well,
and I said, I said, why did you pay forty
five dollars for delivery? Why didn't you just take them
over there? You're not doing anything. I wonder how that
ended pretty poorly. I canceled the credit at the florists
over there over you. Wow, Yeah, we're not doing credit
(00:49):
anymore with the flora. It's one hundred and forty five
dollars for the arrangement and forty five dollars to deliver them.
I'd rather just give you two hundred dollars to go
to Vegas and play poker.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
With I would have rather had it that way also,
yeah right, yeah, but they were lovely.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okank, you you're welcome, all right. Alex Stone is with us.
That guy is great.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
He's the real thing.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
But before we get to Alex Stone, is he what
is he on the is he calling? Or is he
on comrades access? Okay, then we have got a good
clear uh action with him today.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You're clear to clear to land.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, Alex Stone, how you boy?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
You guys?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Oh man?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Wait, why did you send Mark Flowers?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Because he he got he was he messed up his
finger and he was hospitalized.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's my whole hand, Tim, It's not just my finger.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Is your hand? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's fun? It's like touch and go. It's still not
completely done, Alex. Since Alex brought it up, what was
wrong with it?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I have a condition that's not so uh common, unconnous,
not so uncommon in people like myself. In other words,
it's a common condition.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Okay, Well, then why don't you say it's a common condition?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
All right, it's a common condition among some people myself.
Among them, it's called trigger finger. Okay, when your finger lit.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Well, when you say amongst some people. You're saying, like
tall white guys, I mean sexy people. Tim, I didn't
want to say sexy, but I've said it. Okay, But no,
I don't really know if it favors certain people or others,
but I know that there are others who have had
to deal with it too. It's not the problem is
that it's painful and it locks your hand in positions
you literally can't open. You've been fighting them for a while, yeah,
(02:25):
for a.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Couple of years. So finally I went and got the surgery.
And the surgery is not a big deal. It's just
that the post surgical stuff, you know, the the you've
got to get the hand back into movement. You got
to reach a physical therapy. Physical terrorists won't call me back.
Oh my god, this is gonna think And in the meantime,
it's the pain can be a little rough. In the
days that followed, it's like lockjaw on your hand. Thank you,
(02:47):
that's exactly what it is. That's a lockdow. Yeah, yeah,
thank you. Didn't amputate, but.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, honestly, a got Alex. This guy was in pain
every day for the last three years. Every time he
came in he had a new brace on it or
new school.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
There's one thing about it that was pretty bizarre or
just vexing. I was, it's on my right hand, and
when people shake hands with me, it's incredibly painful.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
And yet and you know here at the radio stition,
you get all these people through, you know, whoever, and
they're shaking hands that and guys have this thing where
we want to like really squeeze the pision's hand, they
show and the harder they squeeze, the more intense to pain.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Did you ever mention it?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
No, but for two years and you mentioned it once.
She said, God, you look like you were wincing with pain.
Well I remember then. I thought, yeah, it's really painful
every time. So it's good to be past that, and
I hope I'll be able to rehab it.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I would rather have pain in my hand and give
a guy a firm squeeze and have that dead fish.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh yeah, no I don't, but you to have that.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Dead like a sort of sweaty fish. A guy gives you.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Get their hand wrong and you're like, wait, let me
do that again.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Sorry about or the guy. The guy reaches work for
the left because his right hand's missing.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, that was one of the problems that I had,
which is that I couldn't squeeze very hard because the pain.
And I always wanted to say, hey, by the way,
my real handshake is a lot harder than.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You just left it till people left you and went wow,
he didn't have much money.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, I kind of lame handshake.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You had three years of handshakes to catch up. Thank you,
all right, Alex Stone, It looks like teriffs are affecting
the weather.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
They're affecting everything, so why not? Yeah, down the dow
down almost seventeen hundred points today.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
How are they affecting Wendy Williams? Is there any update?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well, if she has a four oh one K, it's
probably way down just like everybody's today. But yeah, Stillantis
said tonight. They're the ones who make Jeep, Chrysler and
Dodge Ram or whatever that all of those are nine
hundred workers that they're temporarily laying off because of this,
and Ferrari says that you should have bought your Ferrari earlier.
(04:48):
This week. They're the first ones to come out and
say that they're going to be adding up to ten
percent on the every car sold in the US as
a result of it.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Out of one hundred guys who are going to buy
a Ferrari, how many does that dissuade?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Right? Is there?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
What is a Ferrari two hundred grand?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I don't know, but let's ask Mark. He's got one.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, probably more. Oh, it depends on the model. I
think it doesn't. Is that right?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You really have a Ferrari? No?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, well, I mean it's a lot of money, but
starting from around two hundred and forty thousand to half
a mill Wow, so.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Ten percent doozy. But I guess if you can afford that,
you don't really.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Care, right, I mean, if you have that kind of dough,
you don't give a red sass.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, unless the way just barely getting by to get one,
you know, to flex the muscles and then oh it
just went up another.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
But isn't it now more of a brag to get
a new one since you're gonna have tariffs on it?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
That's true when it drives by and you go look at.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
That terriff vehicle, Right, baby, I don't even care about tariffs.
Look what I got.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I got this. I got this after the Terroiffs kicked out. Yeah,
this is this is a post terror Ferrari.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So we talked to a general sales manager at GMC
dealership down in San Diego. He says, it's kind of
crazy right now. It's like going back to COVID time,
where people are like willing or will be willing to
go over MSRP and thinking they're gonna deal.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
There's a tremendous amount of uncertainty in the marketplace right now,
and this time brings us back to the COVID prices
where things elevated in terms of a price point due
to the shortage of inventory and supply for the consumer.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Because of that, it's not just new cars but used cars.
That market is already going up because one there's demand
on for that because people aren't buying new cars, but
also people aren't selling their cars to create used cars
so much so web Bush Securities came out with a
new forecast. They're saying, on the low end, the average
car will go up, the domestic car with you know,
typically it's going to have foreign parts in it, so
(06:36):
the end because of demand is going to go up
five grand. And on the higher side, the average car
will go up fifteen thousand dollars whoa. Yeah, so it's
a you know, a fair amount. But then you have
other things like avocados, you know most of them. Yeah,
we grow some here, but most come in from South
America and Mexico. And people are are they're getting creative
that We talked to a guy up in Richmond. He's
(06:57):
selling avocado trees now where he's tells him five feet
tall so that they're already mature, so people can produce
their own avocados.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
He tells this, everybody needs an avocato tree for not
only the teriffs, to save some money, and the fact
that you'll be the coolest kid in the block if they're.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Doing which is true. We have people in our newsroom
who bring them in and they they are the coolest
on the block.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But do people bring him into the newsroom have forty trees?
That is true?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And the people have three.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Trees, right, people have three trees? Never ever see one?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, it's like a lemon tree where I plant it,
or an orange tree and nothing ever happens. But the
neighbor always has a million lemons down the street, but
nothing happens to me. The olive oil from Italy that's
gonna wineries of course foreign wines, but but wineries domestically
say that because they get their glass bottles from overseas
that that they will see a rise beer imported beer, yes,
(07:49):
but also domestic companies are saying that because they use
so much aluminum cans, kegs, stainless steel, and aluminum fermentation tank,
that they're going to deal with it. Sky the oc
he owns a craft brewer.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
If the cost of producing something goes up, that'll pass
on to us and you know, eventually pass on to
the consumer.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
He said, he doesn't want to lay anybody off, but
he's probably gonna have to pass along the cost to
once they start seeing it with the aluminum. There are
some things on the grocery store that the grocery industry
is saying won't be impacted. Chicken, beef, a lot of
the veggies that are grown domestically because those are domestic products.
Unless this all goes really haywire and we go into
overdrive on inflation, then you could say we're already there,
(08:32):
but even more so that then those prices would go
out but directly from the tariffs that those domestic products
wouldn't except for things that are like in cans, so it's.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Gonna be more expensive to be a vegan than a car.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, quite possibly. Also seafood, because a lot of seafood
that you eat comes from Vietnam and Island and elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I told you, I told Alex, I told you. I
told Mark Thompson last summer. I said, you want to
avoid all this vote for Kamala Harris and you guys,
you know you didn't listen to me. It didn't work out.
You know what, you know what stock was up today?
I noticed I look at the stock mark. You I
don't know any sharp Apple's way down? You know what
was way up? Goodyear because they're a domestic tires, their
(09:14):
tires here, I guess they do. You know they're up.
They're up eleven percent today in the te right, that's
a big deal, buddy. I appreciate you coming on, Alex Stone.
If you need tickets to sant Anita, you know I
know you're playing hard again. I'll yeah, please let me know.
All right, see about bad to hear your hands better?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Mark, Thanks Alex.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
There he goes Alex Stone. Man, you see the Dodgers
game less night.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Find believable.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
What a game. We'll go back, we'll talk about that also, Well,
we talked about your hand.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, I got other maladies if you want to get
to those.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
And I had a weird thing happened to me on
the way to work today. I got to tell you
about it was odd, man.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I want to hear about that, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And we're getting thunderstorms in North Hills, Mission Hills, Granada Hills,
San Fernando Hills, Silmar Hills, the whole hills. We're getting
rain and thunderstorms possible. And fortunately we have a weather
man with us who loves talking about weather, so we'll
do three and a half hours of that.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It is The Conway Show. Mark Thompson is here after
a couple of weeks without my Thompson right. Yeah, great
to be back. Yeah, I love it. And you were
down for a while, you know, recovering with your hand surgery.
I'm glad you're better, Thank you, pal. Now, what do
we know about this rain? I hear thunderstorms. I'm looking
(10:38):
at the radar right now, and the area that's being
affected is the area that we're in right now, the
San Fernando Valley No, that's not good. Well I don't know.
I mean I think it is. No, is it. It
just crossed San Fernando. It's coming towards us. It's making
a direct It's going to be a direct hit on
our studio in the next half hour, Bellio, batten down
the hatches. We're getting a direct hit from this big,
(11:00):
huge cell that's coming from Santa Clarita through San Fernando,
through the heart of the Valley van Eyes North Hollywood,
right into our building.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
We could see it brewing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yes, we're going to get whacked by this thing that
has lightning and thunder potentially, and we are going to
get nailed in the next twenty minutes by this rain,
so please be aware of that. We got to be careful.
We could. You know, this is serious. There's streets flooding,
there's a lot going on, lot going on, and we
(11:33):
could get hit by this thing. So that's what's going on. Weatherwise.
Something odd happened to me on the way to work.
I was pulling into our driveway here at KFI at iHeartMedia,
and there's a guy crossing the street sort of parallel
to me, and I was waiting for him to cross
the street so I could move on. I don't want
(11:54):
to run over him. I wasn't in that kind of hurry.
And as he passed the car, I could see in
my rear view mirror that he was past me or
my side view mirror. But as I looked at my
side view mirror, I also saw a huge black cloud
over the horizon on the north side of Burbank near Silmar,
So I turned around to see the cloud. He turned
(12:17):
around and we caught eyes, and he waved to me,
and I waved to him. And I don't know whether
he was picking up on me or not. But two
things One I enjoyed the moment, sure, And two, when's
the last time somebody turned around and looked at you.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, you're saying we've lost that connection with each other.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yes, everybody's buried in their phone. And if you turn
around to look at somebody, they're gonna accuse you of,
you know, of molesting them.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So we go about our ways. But you remember, Krozier,
This probably happened to you more than anybody because you're like,
you're sal Kilmer, Val Kilmer.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
God.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I'll get that right someday. But you probably had a
lot of women who walked by you and you turned
to a look at them, and they turned around and
looked at you when you're younger.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
And I don't know that I've ever had that really
unless since I mean not unless you're not counting my wife.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
No, no, I don't. I don't count I sort of
count your wife, but I mean not every day. I
mean i'd like, you know, she's going to the bathroom,
and you know even then and you and you turn
your and you and you catch eyes and you're you're
leaving the bathroom.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
You're talking back when he was wearing the op shorts
with the mesh tank top.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
That's right, yeah, yes, No, you never had that, like
people turn around and look at you, like you went
to check them out and they turn around, they looked
at you. Two. I don't believe that I've had that
happen to me when I was younger. I believe that
nothing in the last thirty years. But I used to
when I was younger. Mark, I bet that's happened to you.
I don't.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I'm kind of with Krozer. I don't think I know
I was turning around at the wrong time.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Angel. That has to happen with you and Bellio all
the time. When you pass the guy, you t around
look at him, and they turn around look at you.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
I if I passed some guy that was worthy of
a second look, I would accidentally drop something so that
they can stop and pick it up for me.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Really, that's smart. M hmm Is that right? And that
works all the time. What would you drop? Like your
phone or your purse, your wallet.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Anything whatever was in my hands. I would just oh, whoops,
oh jeez, her fingers, you know, and they're like laughing
and they'd stop, and so, you know, I get a
nice look at what's going on there is they helped
me pick it every.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I'll pick it up.
Speaker 8 (14:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
There was a couple of times where you know, it
was just somebody absolutely void of chivalry that just didn't
stop at all.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And then all you hear is I'll get it my shell.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Yeah, oh, thanks for your help.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'll pick it.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Up my shell.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And the guys, oh man, I'm glad I didn't pick
that up dodged the bullet. Yeah, belly oh, you probably
have had guys turn around and you know check you
out all the time.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Wow, guys that are going to check you out as
you walk to Florida.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
But for a different reason, like, wow, look at the
Bunyan's on that one. But Stephan, but that's happened to you.
You turn around and check out a check. She turns
around and looks at you. Okay, well look.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
At disgust can be a look.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I've got to I've got suspension. I've got to spend
more time with that lad. I've got to bring his
confidence up. He's a smart, funny guy. He works at
the number one talk station in America, on the number
one show. That's right in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You should try dropping stuff in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Which, by the way, I think is where Fush's look
could really take one. You know, yes, clean up on
the eye. You'd be the king of the i E.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You're like Val Kilmer in the Inland Empire.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah I'll be I'll be South Yeah, Kimber right exactly.
But all right, but anyway, so all right, we got
a lot to get We got these storms. We'll get
to those as well. Look I told you it's raining.
You can see it coming up over the Wiener Schnitzel.
It's raining over the Wiener Schnitzel. The Wiener Schnitzel is
(16:18):
getting rained on. You see then look at that. It's
they're they're they're showering over the Wiener schnitz What isn't it?
It's raining? Yeah, wow, it's raining on the Wiener Schnitzel.
That's how this segment will be described in the podcast.
It's raining on the Wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
People like what you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
That rain is on us. Look at this. I mean
that that cell that went through San Fernando Valley is
now coming right up on Burbank and it's gonna explode
right into Burbank. Here it's coming up. If people know Burbank,
it's coming over the Wiener Schnitzel. Yeah, you know that's
a big deal. So there are isolated storms everywhere. What
is this mark? Where is this coming from?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I think these are pop up thunderstorms. I think there
it's a very unstable air mass from what I can see,
and they it's rotating through the area. It'll be through tonight.
I think pretty quickly it tapers off and then tomorrow,
shouldn't it shouldn't be a rain day.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Okay, So this storm right now is going to be
right over our heads in literally like five minutes. We
can see it at a distance here and you can
see all the rain and it's coming this way.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
And again, you know these are thunderstorms. You could have
flash flooding and because you know, you can drop a
lot of water in a short time.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And is there any lightning association.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Oftentimes be lightning hail, that kind of Oh yeah, all right,
did you watch the Dodger game last night? That was
big news, big finish. Huh, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Dodgers quickly are down five to nothing after a couple
of innings, five to nothing, and then boom, the Dodger start,
bats start getting hot, and they tied it in the
eighth inning. I think it was Max Munsey who had
a double to tie it. And then the guy who's
(18:10):
bobblehead was given out that night, Shoe Aotani, comes up
in the bottom of the ninth and hits a home
run to win it. What are the odds of that? Yeah,
I mean, you know on bibblehead night, right on his
bobblehead night, that he comes up and he hits a
home run in the ninth That's only a second ever
walk off homer for the Dodgers, I believe, And that
(18:33):
was a big night.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
He's really good, is that right? It just seems like
people should get hip to that. I think he's capable
of doing more of that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You know, we were talking about this yesterday. My wife,
who's not a sports hater, but I would say casually interested.
She thought that shoe Aotani came from Japan to the Dodgers. Oh,
she had no idea played for the angel I know that.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You know, it's funny when I was talking to who
is I talking to Petros and we're saying that, you know,
it's weird that we had sho Aotani in our you
know whatever you call it, the area of in our market,
in our market. He's exactly what I was think though,
Like in other words, our TV and radio stations all
covered him when he was playing for the Angels, and
(19:18):
yet the explosion in Showhy didn't hit until the Dodgers
brought him on board.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
They had five years of him with the Angels and
he was an MVP.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
He was great.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I think like he was.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Buried two years he was MVP or three. I think
this is third one. So two with the Angels, one
with the Dodgers, and he you know, he could have
been as famous down there. Sure, And I don't know
what happened. I mean, that's what I was talking to
Petros about. I guess it's you.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
You're with a team and the Dodgers that know how
to market, and they also built a team around him
maybe although they had Mike Trout with him down in
the in Anaheim. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But you know, I feel bad for the people who
were Angel fans because there there is a sen that
the Dodgers treat the Angels as a farm club. You know,
you can pick up a guy off of the Angels
and make an explode with popularity. The Angels could have
done that with them. I don't know why they didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Just don't know. They their marketing has to step up
because they had that jewel and then somehow that's right, Yeah,
it didn't turn into what it's turned into now.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And then you know, we talked yesterday on you know
they had two they have two superstars on the Angels
or they did you know what's his name? The Mike
Mike Trout. Yeah, and we were talking yesterday, Mike Trout probably.
I mean, look, in the in Major League Baseball, you
have two options. You can go to a team that's
(20:41):
really good and try to win a championship, or you
can make twenty five million a year, live in Newport
Beach and play at the Angel Stadium.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah. You know, I got to say, it's a pretty
I would do that. It's a pretty great place to
play baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I would do that. I don't need the ring. I
need the great place Newport Sure, true at the rings.
Charles Barkley doesn't have a ring. He's on TV every day.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, I'm with Mike Trout on that one. Mike Trout,
you and I are like brothers. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Give me, give me the southern California life.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Let me get out there. I'll do my best. I'll
try to win a championship, but I'm not going to uh,
you know, Chicago to win one.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah. It's not like they're pain minimum wage. I mean
you're here making some good bank.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah. I bet Mike Trout's making twenty five or thirty
twenty five million a year. Let's see what Mike Trout's
salary is. Let's just whip around. What is Mike Trout's
annual salary? All right, Okay, I got it. What does
Mike Trout make annually? Step oochem six million? All right, angel.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Let's go with U.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
Thirty three million, thirty three million a right, bellio.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Twenty seven million, twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Million, mark, I'll say twenty two million, twenty two Krozer.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I was gonna say forty million, forty wow, anybody else
in there is Madden? Nope, okay, all right, the actual
the guy that got closest, and we don't do the
over or under. Yeah, I think because it's point one
two million, I think that Krozer got it. Thirty seven
(22:27):
point one million dollars a year. Nice, that's that's in
twenty twenty one. But I can't find his Uh let
me see. Trout signed a twelve year deal worth four
hundred and twenty six million dollars. Why do you need
a championship ring? If you're making four hundred and twenty
six twenty six million dollars, you don't need it. That's
(22:48):
probably got a beautiful place in Newport. I don't know
where he lives, but I would I would say I
would bet he's on the beach somewhere in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think there is
a part of these guys that wants to win a championship.
I think there is a part of these guys that
not him that that may I mean, I'm not suggesting
that he doesn't, you know, enjoy a pretty terrific life
and he's, you know, the great player on that team, right, but.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, Look, he could go to Philadelphia and win a championship,
or you know, he could have been you know, you
could go to uh, you know, pick the team that
comes out of the East and win a championship. But
he didn't. You know, he stayed with the Angel And.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I'm sure that's what they say to him. Man, you
can go to those markets. Your life's going to be miserable.
Here you got the beach, you're right, you know, and over.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
What a ring?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Who cares? Right? I mean he's driving around probably in
an eight hundred thousand dollars car, he's got a twenty
five million dollar place on the beach somewhere, and he
doesn't have a piece of metal on his finger, and
that's going to make it different. Now I'm with him,
I'm with Mike. I would be the Mike Trout of
the of Major League Baseball. Just set me up with
a nice house. I'll come in, I'll hit my home runs.
(24:01):
I'll try to do well. But I ain't chasing this thing.
I'm not chasing that trophy or that that ring. This
is not gonna happen. I'm out.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
It's pouring outside. Belly and I went to the fifth
floor where we could go outside, and we ran into
Sandy Stack, Sandy Stack Stack Stack, and she was inside
with a couple of with Wacko. Wacko is another guy
there and they're recording the rain. But they were inside
recording it through a window, and we said step aside.
(24:37):
We went out on the patio and.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
We got soaked, and Sandy's hair looks beautiful and mine
doesn't anymore.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Thank you Conway. But Bellyo, you're a team player. I
am a team player, and I'm soaking wet now. Yeah,
I'm wet. My shoes are wet, my shirt's wet. I'm
soaking wet. Just in the in the one minute that
we're out there, it's pouring in Burbank. And so when
I came down here, I watched the video with with
the bell that she's putting up on Instagram and all
her social media, and I said, bellio, that was great.
(25:05):
I went to high five and she started laughing and
fell into the wall and broke the wall. Panel on
the wall. She broke a panel on the winter. I'll
go again the third time this week. Third time this week.
She's broken something in the studio. I was in there
the other day, which she did. Yeah, she just breaks everything.
She's like a bowl in a five with me. That's right.
(25:25):
I went to high five. I've never high five belly
on my life, and I hate high fives. And when
she saw me put that five up, she lost it,
lost it and flew into the KFI sign and broke it,
broke it. All right. This feature, this segment is being
brought to you by OH Advanced Hair, one day treatment,
(25:46):
Life changing Results. Make your appointment today at Advanced Hair
dot com. All right, we said earlier last week we're
all going to go out on Saturday to the Santa
Anita Derby, which is the day after tomorrow at Santa
Anita Mark. When's the last time you've been to sant Anina.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think I went with you, Tim. It was some
time ago, but okay, I think it was. That was
literally the last time I've been there.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
So here's what happened. I said, hey, I'll give you
tickets if you want to go. And I thought we
were going to get ten requests. You know, guy was
going to be out four tickets per request. And I said, hey,
if you want to go, you know, email me. We've
got two hundred and twenty five requests.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
But I only had one hundred tickets. So I called Chappy,
my buddy at Santa Nina, and go, Buddy, you got
to bail me out here. I need a thousand more tickets.
And he's like, Buddy, I a thousand tickets. I said, yeah,
I got to take care of these people. And he
gave me a thousand tickets. We get him out to
the beautiful listeners. A lot of them will be there
for the very first time on Saturday. That's pretty cool,
and he is with us. We want to thank him. Chappy, Hi,
(26:48):
you bub good.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
They better be here. Come on, uh no rain Saturday.
We got good weather and it's going to be a blast.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Oh, it's gonna be great. Every time I walk into
Santa Anita, I feel like it's my very first time
walking into Disneyland. I can't believe how beautiful and big
that the grand stand is and the track is.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
Yeah, I mean it's a great place. This is my office,
believe it or not. So I've been doing this for
over twenty years and it never gets old when you
go out there, look at those mountains and oh yeah,
we're expecting a huge crowd and it's gonna be so
much fun. I'm assuming you're coming along with the lookers, right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Buddy, I'm coming out tonight sleeping over, but I can't wait.
So take us through the race day. What time do
you open? How many races on the card?
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Okay, so our first post is at noon, so we
opened at ten am. We've got twelve, twelve races on
the code. So yeah, the final race goes off around
five thirty, so it's an all day affair. Of course,
the big race, San Anita Derby, that's the tenth race
(27:57):
on the card that's gonna go off at about thirty.
And as you know, the you know, it's a small field,
but it's not lacking in good horses that are going
to go on. I assume the winner of that race
will most likely be the Kentucky Derby favor.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh yeah, got to be looking at what maybe a
journalism What is your bet in the dirty.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Well in this Derby? I really think it's the two
horse races between the number one Journalism and the number
two for Bob Baffort's Citizen Bowl. I think Citizen Bowl
is going to go to the lead, and I think
Citizen Ball has a good shot of taking a gate
to wire. That doesn't mean I don't think Journalism is
not a better horse moving on to the first Saturday
(28:41):
of May, and it wouldn't surprise me if either of
them win. I think Journalism the longer they go, the
better he's going to get. But this Saturday, if I
had to put pick a horse, I'm going to take
Citizen Bowl on top.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, and it's not just the Santanita Derby. It's not
just twelve races on the card, but you also have
a lot of food try out there, you've got the
infield is a carnival.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
There's a carnival in the infield, the spring carnival of
course in the morning, you know, if you're a runner,
I'm too lazy, but there's a five k starting in
the morning. There are five k Derby Day run. Of course,
we've got like six thousand people signed up to run.
That's way too early for me. But we've got the
Spring Carnival in the infield good We've got a Derby
(29:25):
Day beer festival that's on the apron. We've got barbecue
in the lowje box seats. Then if you want to
get all dressed up in fancy, we've got the big
party in the chandelier room where there's a tequila tasting
and food and a band playing. So there's a little
something for everybody. And of course we got a lot
of gambling going on as well.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Buddy, I can't wait. I'm going to be out there
on Saturday. I'll be one of those guys standing waiting
for the gates to open at ten am.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Well you better be and look me up because I'm
doing a lot of homework right now as we speak,
and I've got any of winners for you, So hopefully
you and I can make a few bucks along the way.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
And I will tell you the best homemade chili in
the United States is at Santa Anita. I've been trying
to get the recipe forever. Nobody will give it to me,
and so I have to buy the nine dollars chili.
It's a bargain at nine bucks and it's great. And
and last Saturday, I'm going out to the racetrack and
my wife says, where are you going? I said, oh, sorry,
(30:26):
I thought I told you I'm going to the racetrack.
And she said, why are you bringing saltine crackers with you?
And I said, well, I said, sometimes the guys don't
give me enough crackers, so I got to bring my own.
She said, wait a minute, You're going to the track
with your own crackers. Yeah, that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
You gotta do what you gotta do, right, Like how
he's humble there, comes from a humble place.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
But I take him out as I go through the
metal detector so they don't think it's you know, it's
like a you know, pipe bomb or anything. So I
put my crackers right down there and that goes through
the metal detectors. Buddy, I will be This is a
big day for me.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
This is our Kentucky Derby on Saturday on the West Coast.
