Andy recalls the broken nose and subsequent cosmetic tweak of his clumsy youth. Forget Times Square’s ball drop, Andy explores all the locations throughout the country that have fun New Year’s events to mark the new year, including a pickle drop, potato drop, possum drop and cheese drop. We love a little friendly competition! Andy plays famous guitar solos for our listeners, who call in to guess what that famous guitar track is! Hint: Not a Barry Manilow solo in sight. Gen Z is loving on old TV shows that were made before they were born. Turns out the kids might be alright after all.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am sixty and you're listening to The Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Andy Reesemeyer here in for Conway Tonight on The Conway Show.
Guaranteed human indeed, But what part of me guaranteed human?
I don't know. The nose not totally real thanks to
doctor Zef back in Indiana in two thousand and nine.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Is that your only cosmetic tweak?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Yeah, that's it. But it was like kind of for
legitimate reasons, I couldn't Breathe got kicked in the face
at a Leaps and Bounds in the early nineties, and
it set me on a pathway to stuffed up noses,
deviated sept I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Leaps and Bounds, yeah, kind of.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
It was a discovery zone kind of place. Oh okay,
you know, like a big old ballpit and you run around,
climb up the ladders and go through the tubes and stuff. Okay, Yeah,
buddy of mine accidentally kicked me in the face on
the way up up the stairs. Yeah, I should have known.
You ever rethink that having a buddy?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah, but how he like if he did it like
on purpose? Now I think it was accidental. He was
a little bit of a cookie guy, so you know,
he didn't have a lot of control over the limbs,
just like a real hyper kid. You know, we had
a lot of otter pops.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Back then, don't you bee to the flailing limbs.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
The diet almost completely consisting of sugar. Oh yeah, and whatever.
I mean, if you want to call it sugar, that's
probably generous. What kind of high fructose corn syrup red
red number four? I know, it seems impossible to believe
that I was raised only eating soy and not real meat.

(01:42):
This becomes it as a surprise to I'm sure no
one that I was a vegetarian until I was like fifteen.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Soy is high in estrogen ride.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, I mean, and again, so was I a soy
boy one hundred percent?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Through and through?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Is that where my jaw line went? Perhaps? But I'll
tell you what, with this haircut this week jaw line,
I might get carted this weekend.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
You do look like George Michael in Wham. Thank you
in a good way. That's what everybody wants to hear
after a haircut. I'm glad you said in a good way.
I appreciate that. I really don't you know what's so funny?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I was thinking as like, I'm so lucky that I
ended up in a job that's really vain, but like,
I don't really like I maybe I should care more
about my appearance, but I just it doesn't like everybody
I know is very, very worried about getting old or
changing and looking different.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Like I just I can't imagine being in that studio
right before a camera goes on, and the primping and
the and the double checking and the.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, which is like totally fair and normal. Because also
something happens to your brain after a while when you
see yourself on TV all the time, or if you
have to edit yourself, god forbid, you just notice every
weird thing that you've ever done. Eventually, I think you
can say yeah, yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, and you're like, oh,
did you go through a phase in your life You're like,
I can't stand my voice.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I still do I know voice? Yeah, I hate my voice.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
That's so crazy to staying that it's.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Kind of unique. You got a cool voice, Well, thank you,
but I hate it. But you realize you wouldn't be
doing this job if you had a bad voice. It's
the sound of it and how I use it, and
I lean on how I use it.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
You probably do a pretty mean SpongeBob impression.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Sponge or his his friend the starfish. Patrick? You do, Patrick? Yeah,
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Isn't that real?

Speaker 6 (03:25):
Low?

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Isn't that like cool? Have a pretty wide range.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh yeah, no, I'm listen. I'm not here trying to
trying to put bumpers on you. It contains multitudes. Of course,
I used to.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
I used to back when we had the voicemail machines,
the message machines that had the tape in it you
had to record, you know, I would that that would
be I would be that guy, all the different voices.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
That's great, did you It takes me back to the
Swingers movie all right where he keeps calling johns Favreau
keeps calling, calling the girlfriend, leaving a message. Let me
calls it again, call it again? Sorry I got cut off.
Yeah that's great.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, what do we click?

Speaker 3 (04:05):
What kind of voices would you do for your message machine? Oh?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
God, it would be back then. That's how old I am.
I did alf?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
What does ALF sound like? Kate?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wait for the babe. I think Leno
would be good, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
He wasn't in my wheelhouse, but then he's kind of.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Up here and also thought of Conway.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Does it so good?

Speaker 3 (04:35):
I do not mean to do this, but I have
a very good Seinfeld impression, because when I get angry,
that's just how I sound, that's just how my voice has.
I can't help bad. That's very good, thank you, And
it's not I'm not doing an impression. That's just truly.
When I am like one of my first girlfriends, when
we get in arguments or whatever, she'd be like, I
can't take you seriously because you sound like Jerry Seinfeld,

(04:56):
and I'd say, what are you mean. I'm not trying
to I've seen a movie. Hey, I teased this earlier.
I want to get to it. Lots of places, of course,
across the country are going to be doing ball drops
for Times for New Year's rather Times Square of course
is the most famous, perhaps where they have that big
Swarowski crystal ball. They're gonna do it twice. But elsewhere

(05:21):
there's some more interesting ones. A giant cheese wedge in Plymouth, Wisconsin.
They drop a chili pepper in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
In flagsaff Arizona, everyone gathers around the pine cone to
see it des send in a conk shell for the
blue Hairs down in Key West, Pennsylvania, home to a

(05:42):
bonanza of bizarre New Year's events, the blooney drop in Lebanon, Pennsylvania,
the pickle drop in Dillsburg and Lewistown, home to the potato.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Chip drop one just one.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Copycat celebrations from the Times Square New Year's tradition that
goes back all the way to nineteen oh seven. Of course,
are exploding over the past few decades. Beach balls, flip flops,
moon pies, giant peeps, possum drops. People in western North

(06:19):
Carolina no longer do they lower a live possum inside
a glass box at midnight. Twenty nineteen, they put an
end to that. That's me too for you. Right there,
there's still a possum drop though in Tallapoosa, Georgia. Long
ago it was known as possum snout. What a great

(06:39):
country we live in. Over in Highland Park, there's a
place called the Garibaldina Society, which is the oldest Italian
American society in California. Maybe the country seems impossible, but
it's very, very old. They do a meatball drop every year,
where the giant paper machet meatball comes down into a

(06:59):
plate of spaghetti and they shoot. The confetti is parmesan cheese.
It's great stuff. But it's gonna be raining here, so
maybe you want to go somewhere inside.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I love the obvious ones. Like so many places in Florida,
Like so many cities are doing an orange drop. Oh,
Atlanta is doing a peach drop.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Of course it is in la It's just the ball,
but it's like fent fenta folded ball. It's coming over.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
There's also a place in Florida that, as you would expect,
does a pineapple drop.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah, that's good, an upside down pineapple, I think, so
is it the villages?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I no, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
America's friendliest hometown. How friendly?

Speaker 3 (23:49):
That's got to be one of the easiest ones ever.
Right ever, I'm almost embarrassed that I played that one.
We did it well, we have another caller, we can nope, Okay,
croze nos. This is fun. You know, a day before
New Year's Eve, hanging out with your buds, trying to

(24:10):
get the internet to work. I played guess this thing
that is playing? Can you imagine if I was sitting
here playing all these solos I thought you were going
to I'd be pretty sweet. What an annoying thing that
would be if I'd have to bring an amplifier in?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Learn it. Not be the first person to do that, So.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Learn how to play. I have played my own band
on the air, though, for sure, so it was pretty annoying.
I guess Emily is calling your line number five?

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh is this an un for excitement?

Speaker 8 (24:37):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Hello, Emily, you're on KFI. Hi, that's Tears for Fears.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Everybody wants to rule the world.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
You got it? Very good. Appreciate you for colling. That
was an easy one. I was hoping that the hoping
that the solo was the part we heard, but I
guess we just were just here in the intro part,
which everybody has heard a million times. So very good.
Thank you for Colin, Thanks for playing here on this evening,
this Tuesday, December thirtieth. We have so many people calling,

(25:06):
but we're out of songs. That's all the songs that
they made are There are no more more songs now
we did all of them. Oh no, yeah, sorry, better
luck next time. Bucco bucko, that's right, that's right, bucko,
bucker reno, buckeroo, buckle up, buckeroo.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
There you go, there you go.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Indeed. Yeah, so that's a fun game. We'll try to
play again next time. And thank you all so much
for Colin and all of the people who gave us
a ring this evening were very, very appreciative. And I
wish now that I know that it's so popular, I
will clip more songs.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
I will.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
I will make that happen for us. By the way,
when we see you next time, I want to talk
about gen Z and the shows that they like. You know,
they hate us so much. I'm a millennial, pretty pretty proudly,
and all I see on the internet is young people
bashing us about how cringey we are, how whack we are.

(26:08):
Boomers don't like us. Gen Z doesn't like us. Our
grandparents aren't even alive anymore.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Gen X doesn't like you either.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Thank you right, Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
And make sure that on behalf of millennial too.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
I speak on behalf of jene.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
We're the coolest, the smallest group though, that's why we're cool.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
We're rare. I do think that. I love gen X,
thank you. Growing up, I thought they were the coolest
people because they were like the older siblings in my era.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
They were the ones zygo gen X though, right.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Because that means what's the cusp? What is it?

Speaker 11 (26:43):
Eighty?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Is that the thing that cuts off basically that becomes
that becomes millennial.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
I believe I always thought it was seventy nine, but
you might be corrected as eighty.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Eighty, okay. And then when it goes so, it goes
Boomer gen X, gen Z. No, I'm sorry, general, why
no millennial, millennial gen Z and then Gen Alpha.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
But do you remember who's above the boomers? No one
remembers this.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Are they the lost generation?

Speaker 5 (27:07):
It's the silent, just silent generally. And before them is
the greatest generation.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Those were the people who fought in World War Two.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Yeah, and before them it's just cavemen.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Well, either way, for as much as they hate us,
they sure seem to like a lot of our content.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Story. We've been talking about young kids like old shows.
A study from the National Research Group found that sixty
percent of all TV that they're consuming is old library content.
Nearly half of Gen Z say that they watch older
shows because they find them comforting and nostalgic. Disney's own
research found that twenty five percent of the program's kids
called their favorites or maybe before twenty ten. For Gen Alpha,

(27:55):
that would mean most of them before they were born.
It is fair the most recent era of peak TV
premium content did not preoccupy itself with being cozy or comfortable.
Can't imagine watching Dexter or Madmen and cozy and up
to the TV shows may have been better back then.

(28:18):
I think they probably might have been, but I'm kind
of an old soul. I guess young people are, though,
of course, in mass watching the Internet a lot more YouTube.
Never week on kid programming, you got Skibby, Toilet, Brain Rot,
Baby Shark, some more educational fair like Miss Rachel, whatever
it is on the iPad. Modern TV might not be

(28:38):
able to match the scale of Internet content for kids.
I think is really what this comes down to. But
I'm also not sure how much of this is new.
I might be a weirdo, but my childhood was defined
by nickod Knight reruns, Brady Bunch, Flintstones, Scooby Doo. Shows
I could watch with my parents, giving me a glimpse
into a window of life before me. Like to see
how my dad, who was a pro baseball player, opened

(29:01):
up a bar in Boston, or how my mom and
her best friend worked putting bottle caps on bottles at
a brewery in Wisconsin. Those were the shows. We got
some messages here. Let's take a listen.

Speaker 8 (29:17):
It's stranglehold. Stranglehold. You guys are driving me cra It's stranglehold.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
That is my goal for this, because I am also
you all the time when I'm watching TV or listening
to the radio and somebody's trying to figure out something
like I know it and I'm screaming it at the
TV or screaming it at the radio. Thank you for
the message. Here's another, Hi, Andy, It's Sabrina. This lush

(29:43):
you know Zelmans is also available now in Spearman. Heck, yeah,
so check it out.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
I think it's on the website.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Okay, where do I get Selmon's though in real life
I don't want to have to order them on the internet.
I know there's a plug here. I know somebody's got
the hookup. Well, Hi, and wasn't Sammy Hagar from Fontana.
That's cool?

Speaker 8 (30:06):
Oh those were the good old days.

Speaker 6 (30:08):
Man.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
There's a really great book that I saw that is
all about cruising up and down Van Nuys Boulevard in
the early eighties. It's like Fast Time at Ridgemont High era.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High Era, Phoebe Kate's great stuff,
Good Times. I wish I had I wish I had

(30:29):
been there. One of the things I like about living
in the Valleys that I'm close ish in proximity to that,
and I think about that a lot, and I think, man,
that would have been. I felt like that was kind
of where I wanted to be.

Speaker 8 (30:38):
And you're doing Drake, sir, Thank you, cro You're a
good man, probably one of the most novelheaded guys that
I know.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
When it comes to radio.

Speaker 10 (30:48):
You guys being Drake.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Thank you for the entertainment.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
You're welcome. Also, thank you for that talk back in
that cool voice. What a voice, boy, oh boy, future
in radio for that guy.

Speaker 9 (31:00):
I think, Andy, it's great to hear the younger generation
are starting to watch these older shows. There's so much
great stuff to discover, totally, the crime shows.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Colombo, Colombo. Colombo is a great time capsule of Los
Angeles sixties seventies. My mom huge fan of that show.
Anytime she comes out to LA she's like, I gotta
go to the Columbo filming locations the top of the
car and drive over to bell Air or drive over
to the sportsman Lodge. She saw that there's an episode

(31:30):
that was filmed at the Sportsman's Lodge before they turn
it into the Arawon Equinox Complex, and so I took
some pictures of her, like recreating scenes from Colombo, the.

Speaker 9 (31:40):
Crime Shows, Colombo, Rockford Files, banicek Cannon, the scary stuff
like Night Gallery Thriller. Of course, everyone knows the Twilight Zone.
The better for them.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Yeah, Peter Fox, great guy, cool actor, good vibes. I
think TV back then, you know, everything is you look
at everything with a lens of nostalgia, you know. I
think about the stuff that back in the early nineties
when I was grown up, or even in the two thousands,
even things ten years old that I have nostalgia for
pre pandemic stuff that I'm a wistful person about. But

(32:15):
all that stuff, it looks better with time. Some of
it was better. I mean, I guarantee you Colombo was.
There was more more money put into episodes of Colombo
than a lot of the YouTube junk that everybody's watching.
So I think there is some something fair to that.
Here's another talk back from Nevada.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Hey, Andy, nice job. I'm enjoying the show.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Grew up right there in Highland Park, but now I
live in Hawthorne, Nevada.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Cool twenty four this morning. I don't think you folks
could handle that. Oh man, all right, have a nice evening.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Twenty four degrees. Have not seen those numbers in a
long time, ron or what do you think?

Speaker 12 (33:00):
I think that's a bit chilly. I mean, I grew
up in the Pacific Northwest, so I don't mind the cold.
But now that I'm acclimated, now we're weak to la.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah. I couldn't handle that. I'd cry.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
I can tell you this all the time I used
to walk around Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Oh, Indianapolis is miserable.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Freezing cold, from October to May. It is bad.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
I'm surprised you don't have frostbite amputations, do you?

Speaker 3 (33:22):
Well, you've never seen my toes.

Speaker 12 (33:24):
I've you've remained clothed, thankfully you've never asked.

Speaker 10 (33:27):
Hey, guys, speaking of voices, the Aussie girl, is that

Speaker 1 (33:32):

Don't know, but whenever I hear her, yeah, I think

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
