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

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app DAF. I am
six forty. It is the Conway Show. Mark Thompson's here.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Thank you, Sam, and thank you everyone and collected masses.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Please be seated.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I was so jealous on Sunday that you were here.
Krozier was here, and I was listening on the way
to getting my ass kicked at sant Anita, and I
heard you guys talking about how you both got worked
in auctions.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, we tell the story.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I thought, can you tell that story again? Sure, I'll
tell it again. Krozier story. I thought it was even better.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, that was So we'll save Kroziers for a second
because he leap frogged over you.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Oh his is really good. But sort of in the
same general vein. I was am seeing an event this
past weekend and it just seemed as though it was
an autism event, and you know, a beautiful anti. It
was for the ed Asner Center. They do a lot
of treatment and outreach with families and those who are Yeah,

(01:05):
exactly what it's a callism world, It's called ed Asner
Family center, and so this is a fundraiser for that center,
and Matt, who is Ed's son, is heading things up
with his wife Nova. Anyway, so you get to the
auction part of things, and it's a fundraiser, and there

(01:26):
are these four nights in Thailand somewhere. I didn't really
pay attention to it was I saw a villa. It
was a villa. How does that auction operate? You have
a paddle with your number. People had paddles. I didn't
even have a paddle. That's how epathetic this is.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
I wasn't planning on all. I me MC.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
I didn't plan on I'm buying anything or bidding on
anything necessarily.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Or maybe you're just an oversight.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
But we started the bidding at one thousand dollars and
somebody in the crowd bids one thousand dollars and he says,
do I hear two thousand dollars? And this I I'm
seeing it. I'm not actually on stage though, I'm just
I'm just kind of like there with the old remarks
and remarks through the night.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
You feel able is that you're all that you're an
MC and they don't have somebody with autism.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Oh I never thought of it that way.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, well, we have autism in my family, so I
feel connected to it.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
But you make a good point.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Maybe I'll be disqualified next year, but after this they
probably will want me back. Because I noticed that there
was nobody bidding two thousand and only the thousand, and
I just felt bad.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
So I said, two thousand. It's a trip to where.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's not a trip that would be different. It's not
a trip four days you get there on your own.
It's four days in this villa in time Thailands. It's
like a like, are the what are the famous vacation
spots in Thailand?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
That's one of them. Okay, So.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Then like nobody's bidding anything more, and he goes, please
bid something more. But then somebody said three thousand, and they.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Were pretty quick with it. Tim, You know, it wasn't
like sure.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
So I panicked, maybe a little earlier, thought oh good,
now people are getting on board.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
We're picking a momentum.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
And so then he says, how about four thousand and
nobody it's quiet. I'm thinking this thing is going to
go for three thousand dollars. It's kind of insulting, I
would sort of. So I'm going to push it along.
So I yell and raise my hand four thousand wow,
and uh, they said, oh, that's so great. Mark Thompson,

(03:25):
A wow, you're gonna You're gonna have four thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
That's just terrific. And I'm thinking somebody.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Else is going to come in here for whatever, and
nobody did come in forever, oh for whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And I ended up buying a trip. When do you
have to use it by I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I don't know any of the details except for the
fact that it's I'm gonna need to go fund me
to pay for it. That's all I know. Yeah, the
American Express swat team met me on the way out. Yeah,
you you know you bumped it. You bumped the card.
That's wild.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
But Krozier had a better story even than that.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
You got you gotta hit with these hit with with
a an accidental purchase.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
My first wife and I were at a some some
charity thing for some medical thing. I couldn't even tell
you what it was, something that's starting to pop up
in people about over twenty years ago. And Holly Robinson
Pete Rodney Pete's wife was one of the sort of
co hosts and Jason Ritter, John R's kid was there
was part of it as well, and all night and

(04:22):
it was like at the Beverly Hills, you know hotels.
So it was like high fluting, a lot of money
flowing and all this stuff running the risk of radically
insulting you. How were you invited? My ex worked for
a medical company that had something to do with the condition,
So yeah, I had.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Nothing to do with me personally. That was along for
the ride. But you know, so they were.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
They had a silent auction and then they had the
big auction afterwards, and money's flowing, you know, everybody's bidding
big bids, you know, thousand, But the biggest one of
the night was the very last one, and it was
a set of earrings and a necklace matching necklace.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
It was like blue sapphire something like that. Yeah, beautiful stuff.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
And and we hadn't bid on anything, you know, we
paddle hadn't.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Moved all night.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
And they said, all right, we'll start the bid off
with eight thousand dollars, and wife looks at me and
I go, all right, I'll goose a little bit eight thousand.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Not a single bit after that. How did you pay
for it. Did you have that kind of do It
was on a credit card?

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh my god, my wife got it in the divorce,
got the seton.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh that's horrible.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
So it's eight thousand plus twenty seven percent, you know interest,
you know every time every month you don't pay it off.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, oh my god. That for that gleaming moment.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Everybody's like, look at you, nice young man, well done.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
I just.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Were you at least buzzed? Is that why you did it?

Speaker 5 (05:52):
I honestly couldn't remember, but it was a fairly sober
it was. You know, it was a thought out sort
of thing. People are bidding. Nobody seemed to be sh
on any of the items, so I thought, right, you know,
I'll partake in the fun and the festivities.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Eight thousand dollars. You know, I don't have a story
like that.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
But I went to one of those big events that
was an auction. And what you do when you get there,
you give them your credit card information and then it's
associated with your paddle and they can make it the
association pretty quickly once you buy it, so it speeds
things along. So I get to this auction and or
this charity event, and they said, hey, you know you

(06:31):
want to give us your credit card, we'll give you
a paddle. And I said, buddy, I'm busted out. I
don't I don't get anything going.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I got your paddle. I barely.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I mean I park down the street. I didn't even
use the valet parking here. This is not the guy
that's going to cure AIDS or cancer or whatever is
rolling around this auditorium. I said, I'm not that guy.
And he said, well everybody has, you know. It gives
a credit card and then you give the paddle even
if you don't use it. You know, just I said,
okay getting the credit card. So all night long my

(07:02):
paddle was frozen. It was just you know, it was iced.
It was in you know, like it's still in an
ice age on it. Yeah, I went, I purposely burned it.
I took it out and burned it out of the
destroy this battle right away. And so the next like,
I'm like two weeks later, I see my credit card

(07:22):
statement and they charged me thirty five hundred dollars for
an item. And I'm like, oh, I didn't buy an item.
It must have got mixed up with somebody else's. So
I called the auction. I said, hey, I didn't buy anything.
They charged me thirty five hundred dollars and they said, oh, no,
you bid on something.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
I said no, I didn't. I didn't bid on anything.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
And then they said, oh, okay, then we'll try to figure
it out, and so like took another week and they
and they said, okay, what somebody else's bid, But we
had four of them, and somebody thought they saw your
paddle being raised. So we're going to send you the item.
And I said no, no, no, no, no, yeah, no, no,
I said, but I said, what's the item? And they

(08:02):
said it's it's a balloon ride in del Mar.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Two nights at.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
A hotel with a balloon ride and wine and cheese,
and I two.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Nights at the waste of money hotels, right yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
And I said, I swear I'm at del Mar at
the track. I'm not with the balloons and the wine
and the crackers and the you know Couterie board or
Couteri board or whatever that is. And I said, I said,
And then she says, so you want me to reverse
the charges and it's going to affect all these kids
that otherwise would have benefited. What a great play from

(08:35):
your thirty five hundred dollars and I said one hundred percent,
give the kids my number one.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
I am.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I am not going down. I don't have that kind
of dough and another kind of money of cells.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I get sucked out of those all the time. Sadly,
it's just in the moment you do it. Yours is
truly a mistake though at least right.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
But you've got to watch giving your credit card because
another buddy of mine that happened to him at an
auction where somebody made a mistake. And some some people
are too wealthy they don't look at their credit card statement,
you know.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
And then or in that.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Last moment when she pushed on you, they would have
done yeah you're right, okay, yeah right.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, I think i'd do some of that.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
On purpose, and she she got the wrong cat. Well,
these you know, these babies are dying of you know
whatever they were like selling it to you.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
It's a beautiful ride where you see the landscape.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
That's not me, sweetie. I'm sorry, I'm not. I told
you when I got there, I'm not your type.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
You don't like the taste of the grapes Conway.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
But those things are really reserved for wealthy people. You know, man,
everybody there had a high end car. Everybody was bidding,
you know, throwing their paddle up at forty thousand dollars car.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
I have it when we come back. I have a
story about that. And that isn't always true. You're in
a room drenched with money and like, I'm the only
one who bids on something. Oh really, your people could
buy and something what you have in your pockets.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I am six.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Forty Caljam Festival nineteen seventy four. It's three hours long.
But fell what bands were there? And there was at
the Ontario Speedway. It was a huge weekend. I think
it was all weekend, one hundred and ten people. Yeah,
Cal Jam.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 9 (10:18):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
It was before my time, but I remember about it.

Speaker 10 (10:21):
It said two hundred and fifty thousand. Yeah, tickets sold.

Speaker 11 (10:26):
Whoa, because where's this thing? I was saying, you know, woodstock.
A lot of people showed up without paying. Oh my god,
concert people actually paid?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, well it's California.

Speaker 10 (10:38):
Do you remember the price of your ticket at the time.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I didn't go, you know, cause I was eleven when
it happened from this Caljam. All the people who went
there there are you know, ten, eleven, twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
and they're all still living here in southern California.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
A lot of them are, you know, still have that.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
And you know it seems like everybody that called about
cal Jam they had like that same energy they had
that when they went to the concert. Let's say we
got three or four more callers here. People just want
to talk about this Mark is it Martini?

Speaker 7 (11:14):
Yes it is.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Hey, how are you good?

Speaker 12 (11:18):
Good?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (11:18):
I was there, But before I tell it a little
funny story, I was gonna say Lucky Man with Peerson
Lake and.

Speaker 13 (11:24):
Palmer's a song on the listen to that was a
hot song.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Anyway, Uh, what happened was when I went there, we
went with a group of guys, and the group of
guys decided to buy our drugs there, okay, and we
all we all bought a little bit of uh asht
I guess they call it, and we all got high.
If that's not the footy parts, the footing part. Then
we bought a lid. What we lids were a pot.
So then after we smoked we were already high from

(11:49):
the ass and then after that we smoked the pot.
The next day when we woke up, the guy that
had the pot called us all and told us that
it wasn't pot, it was just weeds from someone's backyard.
So we were so high, and all day we were
lst of the concert. We're smoking. You know, big we're
smoking is a good pot. Of course, I say, it's
a big lid. It wasn't like it is today. That cousin,

(12:11):
hey man, he said, you do pretty high. I said, well,
I know something. He said, well, it's it was something
from It's just weeds where someone's Do.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
You remember the term do you remember the term ty stick?

Speaker 4 (12:21):
All those things you mentioned brought back memories. I'm not memories,
but me is the way is the way pot is
done now, you know, I mean then you have to
shout down the pants because you know you went it.
And now now you just walk around and I'm you know,
smoking is amazing, no part of that.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Can do whatever you want now.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
But I remember they had they had dime bag, lid,
tie stick and shake. But remember I always thought ty
stick was from from like Thailand.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
But it's just weed. That was tied to a stick.
It was just in something I believe. Yeah, that's wild.
How old are you?

Speaker 2 (12:57):

I was.

Speaker 14 (13:25):
I just graduated from high school. I'm a third generation
at from Orange County. So uh, if being a veteran
in a concert goer, what you did was you left
at five in the morning and got there before all
the other traffic and they just camped out. But it
was really hot. However, at the time, I was considered
the largest LSD dealer in Orange County. Wow, I have been,

(13:51):

twenty nine years, clean and sober.

Uh so.

Speaker 14 (14:10):
So I had a connection with the old treable that
folks up in northern California. And I can't go into
that story because there's still a timeless yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Old time. I had to dump that. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Man, who would have guessed that the biggest LSD dealer
at the time would call talk radio forty eight years
later and and swear on the radio. Nobody would have guessed.
I didn't see I'm gonna come out. I didn't see
coming it on. William All right, Sean, you're on KFI?

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Sorry for the last caller?

Speaker 6 (14:50):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (14:51):
That was my first concert that I had gone to. Really,
if you yes, and if back then it was the
national pastime was streaking. Oh that's right, Yeah, we're in
public treating. And so they were, you know, as slow
as they went through all the crowded people. There was
people streaking all over the place there.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
How old were you when you went? I was fourteen, man,
everyone's fourteen at this concert. It was a fourteen concert
for fourteen year olds. And everyone's sixty two down and
we're all standing, and you get everybody that called had
like the same energy they had when they were fourteen, Like, oh.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, there was unbelievable traveling and we didn't care. We
did that a great time.

Speaker 13 (15:26):
The striking, since it was festival seating, it was uh
we got there early, like a six in the morning.
We just kept on walking until eventually we ended up
sitting against some people's sleeping bags and we were like
pretty pretty close.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
It was a one day event though, as I remember right,
it wasn't two days.

Speaker 13 (15:40):
There's a one day event.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, I think it was on a Saturday, or was
it a Sunday.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
I can't remember.

Speaker 13 (15:46):
Yeah, But the story about the milk jugs, it's true.
It got it got. You know, it got so hot
there there. People were getting dehydra slid past all the
water and you know about time ever slick of powers on.
There's somebody of them flying through the air. It looked
like white Christmas.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
That's wild man. Appreciate the phone call, thanks dude.

Speaker 10 (16:05):
Saturday was Saturday?

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, all right, Saturday, Stephush. When year were you born?
Eighty eight?

Speaker 2 (16:11):
All right, so you're born fourteen. Everyone was fourteen when
they went to this concert, and you were born fourteen
years after the concert.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Pretty much right.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
So that's great man, all right, you got it.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
We got one more call here, wanted to get on.

Speaker 14 (16:26):
Ray you there there, I'm here.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Hey another concert goer. Huh cal Jam nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 9 (16:31):
Oh yeah, man, First of all, to your dad for sure,
and you you're right belong anyway.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
I was there, Yeah, that was some deal. Did you
get there early? Did you get caught up in all
that traffic and the craziness.

Speaker 9 (16:43):
Well, you know what I did, tim, because I lived
at sand Demas. Okay, my mom never let me go anywhere,
but I you know, my dad left us, so I
snuck out, put my son out. One of my friend,
Brian Jackson, the hitchhot here on Foothill Boulevard, got picked,
a guy dropped us off. Couldn't find a parking spot,
so then all of a sudden he dropped us off
and we got in at the night saw the whole
damn thing, and I saw stuff you won't believe, Like

(17:04):
I have a step up over a lot of you know,
people that were passed out and stuff I saw ep
I saw Black Sabbath and Eryl Sabeth. Yeah, it was cool.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
You imagine how many albums they sold from that concert.
There's two hundred and fifty thousand people there and everybody
had dough. Unbelievable, it was.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
It was the largest concert for paid attendance really like Stock.
What's well, No, at the time, I said Woodstock was bigger.
You know people there, right, but for paid people there.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
It was this that's wild all right, right, thank you man,
great calls, great memories.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Will do it again. I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Something else like a Genie town or kitty Town next
to what was that carnival for kids?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Man, kitty Land? I think it was.

Speaker 8 (17:49):
Yeah, all right, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on
demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Six more phone calls. I love that the guys were
there for this thing. Oh, by the way, so the
Deep Purple story.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, So the singer that had just joined Deep Purple
at the time, I think it was like their second
or third singer was David Coverdale, who went on to
be the main guy for White Snake in the eighties.
But that was like his first performance with the band.
And they gave Deep Purple the option of when they
wanted to go on, and they said they wanted to
go on at dusk.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh, that's excellent.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah, but the concert was running kind of early, so
they refused to go on until dusk. People sat there
for like an hour, and that pushed the other band
after them, Emerson Lincoln Palmer till later as well. And
then during the set, the guitarist Richie Blackmore, he got
all pissed off and got into a fight with the
cameraman or something like that. And then there was some
py technics that happened in which was the fire that

(18:43):
you saw. The stage caught fire, and as as soon
as they were done, they got on a helicopter and
bolted out of there because they were afraid of bitting
caught by the Ontario Fire Marshal, Wow, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Let's talk to what Charlie here? You're on KFI? How
you I'm good? How are you all right?

Speaker 1 (18:58):
You were at this thing?

Speaker 7 (18:59):
Hi? Dude?

Speaker 12 (19:00):
Yeah? So so, Me and and about a half a
dozen of us lived about fifty miles away, and I
was in the eighth grade, and we rode our bicycles
and so technically I wasn't inside the inside the concert,
but we rode our bicycles around there, and I was
exposed to a lot of stuff. I probably shouldn't have
been at that age.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, but you could clearly have heard that concert outside
the speedway as well.

Speaker 12 (19:23):
Oh yeah, no, no doubt. And we ended up hanging out.
We ended up hanging out by the by the paddy wagon.
Ontario PD had a big paddy wagon there, and then
we were kicking it and you can watch people come
by and all of a sudden side act straight there
was and there was a lot of bad tripping that way.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Dude, that's a great story. Let's talk to a Michael here. Michael,
you're on KF five.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Hey, Hey, hey, ding dong d y get dong, buddy,

Speaker 7 (19:57):
Yeah, I'm sixty two. Yeah, I'm gonna be sick me.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
First of all, the first story is.

Speaker 7 (20:03):
When you when when you went in, there was these
big uh trash cans and they were just throwing tossing,

Friday night.

Speaker 15 (23:39):
Every back of your cars were moving.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh that's so great. Yeah, but that was part of
that was part of the thrill. You know, that's part
of the event.

Speaker 15 (23:46):
My god, it was going to say, No, I want
to say about ten Nasian, who I was not a
fan of, but he was like the best performance my helicopter.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oh that is great. I gotta put you on. Hell,
we gotta take a break. But man, that is so cool.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I can't believe how many people in the audience actually
went to this col jam in nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
This is the end of the Eagles. The Eagles are
wrapping up here at cal Jam. Two hundred and fifty
thousand people.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
Yes, you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I was telling the story of my mom and dad
would take us to Disneyland once a year, and they
would tell us three months or four months in advance,
you know, right around Christmas. Hey, we're going in on
April ninth. You got to behave. And one of my
brothers decided not to behave. He bought itching powder and
spread it all over the desks of all the kids,
and they all and I'm ninety nine percent sure this

(24:42):
happened where the kids, all the kids' parents had to
come pick them up because they were all itching like crazy.
I know what it was, they didn't know what it was,
and they're breaking out in like hives and stuff.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
And I I'm about.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Ninety nine percent sure that the fire department was called
as well, because they were next door. And the paramedics
came over to see to try to figure out what happened,
and they found a box of itching power in my
brother's desk.

Speaker 11 (25:09):
I'm starting to understand the three day suspension.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Yeah, he's lucky he didn't get expelled.

Speaker 11 (25:15):
Yeah, I mean that turned into a big deal, right,
because what if those what if one of those kids
was allergic or had a condition or something, and you know,
they got swollen eyes or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Exactly, and got their lungs and you know it was
it's a big deal, a big deal. So I'm with
the principal and the teacher that there had to be
some action. Right, normally I'd pick I'd support my brother,
but I think he crossed.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
The line, okay, just barely.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
So he was told by my dad, you did this,
you got in trouble, you got caught.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
You're not going to Disneyland this year.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
And I thought, whoo, my did never ever does stuff
like that ever.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
So all the kids are going. He's serious, yes.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
And so the morning we're going, you know, you always
wake up early and you have breakfast, and he always
took us out of school to go.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
So it's a big special day.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
You know, he didn't have to go to school, and
we're all going to Disneyland on a day where we're
you know, we're supposed to go to school. And so
Disneyland was fairly empty and you could walk around and
enjoy yourself. And we all get in the car except
my brother with the itching powder, and he was in
the house and he wasn't coming, and I thought, Wow,
how far is my dad going to drive down the
block here? Until he turns around and picks this kid

(26:26):
back up, and he pulls the car around. We're going
out the driveway and my brother, Jake says, hey, Dad,
can you will you stop the car? And my dad
stops the car and my brother says, if my brother's
not going, I'm not going. Wow, Jake, isn't that great?

Speaker 14 (26:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (26:47):
That says a lot about his character.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
The greatest guy in the world. He says, if I'm
not if my brother's not going, I'm not going. It
was your reaction. I'm My reaction was hey, more room
for me. Why are we sitting still?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah? Dad, why did you? Why did you stop? Just
slow down, Jake, get the hell out of here.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
And and he my dad ended up taking all of us,
right he did.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah, he ended up taking all of us.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
But it was such a defining moment in my brother's childhood, right, Like,
he's the only kid that said no, no, we're all
going or I'm not going. It's is so great it
brings a tear to my eyes. It really, I mean
it really a special that's consistent with who he was.

Speaker 10 (27:24):
Yep, And He is a sweet man.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Sweetest guy in the wood is really sweet man. I
mean he's obviously he was born in the wrong family.

Speaker 10 (27:31):
Well you're all sweet Nah.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
He's over the top. I mean he rescues dogs all
the time. He's always upbeat. He doesn't hate anybody, never
gets pissed at anybody. He can just hang up on
a good friend. No way you'd go to the track
with the guy, right, But he's always always upbeat. And
I don't know how he does it, man, but you know,
he works. He doesn't have kids, but they have like

(27:56):
five or six dogs, and those dogs are the world
to him. And he's and he's just a really decent
human being, like a really good person.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
And you know.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Of all the brothers and sisters, I think his his character.
I don't know where it was formed, but somebody had
an influence on him that we all didn't catch. No,
he's fourth, fourth, fifth city. Yeah, he's fourth, fourth born,
so he's close to the middle there. Yeah, he's a

(28:28):
middle kid out of six. Right, the three and four
are the you know the two middles.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Right.

Speaker 5 (28:33):
Do you find that I don't know how much you've
looked into that. Do you find that that the order
of births with all your siblings kind of go true
to form from what we've always heard, the first in
the middle and the last and all that.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
You know what I don't.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
I'm not really sure what what those theories are like,
is it? I know that my sister got a lot
in life. She was the first born. Oh, she was
the first thing. She's the oldest she's we have. We
had one girl, and then my dad had five boys.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
My mom and dad. My mom had something to do
with it too.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
I think the girl thing makes sense, but also the
firstborn thing makes sense. So she got she doubled it. Oh,
my god, the privilege. I guess you could say.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
My dad wrote a song about her. My dead has
never written a song in his life. You wrote a
song about her. And there's a million pictures of her
around around, you know, our house growing up. I think
there's one of me, and try to find one of
the of the youngest.

Speaker 11 (29:23):
So long man to hear some of the characteristics of
the first middle Okay, so first natural leader, high achiever, organized,
on time, know it all, bossy, responsible adult, pleaser, obeys
the rules.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
The middle that makes sense. That wait, it goes slowly again.
The firstborn is.

Speaker 11 (29:39):
One natural leader, high achiever, very organized, very organized, on time,
always know it all.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, she I think I think she knows that you
guys on on Thursday nights, not Friday nights to tapings.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yes, she didn't know. She didn't know that, right, so
maybe not not all of it. She knew bossy uh
as a kid.

Speaker 10 (30:02):
Yeah, get in the wheel. Well that's a little yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Pretty bossy as a kid, right yeah?

Speaker 10 (30:07):
Responsible?

Speaker 11 (30:07):
Yes, yes, adult pleaser yeah, obeys the rules.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, pretty much. Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
She had by the way, she had a massive, massive bedroom.
It was supposed to be like the master bedroom of
the house that we lived in in the valley, and
the rest of the boys were in one room, five
of us in one room. And she had a fireplace
in her room, a walk in closet fire room, and

(30:35):
had two different exposures, like she looked west and north
from her windows.

Speaker 10 (30:41):
Two different exposures.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Huge ass room, good for her. And we were all piled.
We had two bunk beds and a car bed, you know.
So we had two bunk beds that we had lived
that we slept into. My brother had one of those
like speed racer car beds. Stinky boys God, it was unbelievable.
I don't know why we put up with that because
you had to.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Well, we could have. We could have.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
I mean, there's five of us we could have taken over.
You should have should if we couldn't have taken her out.

Speaker 11 (31:10):
Middle child, okay, middle child, flexible, easygoing, social peacemakers, independent, secretive,
may feel like life is unfair. Strong, negotiator, and generous.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Okay, that's like yeah, my brother yeah, like like Corey
and and and Jake.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, that's that's kind of them.

Speaker 11 (31:26):
Right, Okay, the babies of the family, right, this is
sean risk taker.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
Outgoing, creative, self centered, Oh.

Speaker 11 (31:33):
Yeah, financial, financially irresponsible.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
No not, he's not that, but competitive so far. He's like,
you know, eight for nine, yeah, nine for ten.

Speaker 10 (31:45):
Bored, easily, very easily, likes to be pampered.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (31:51):
Sense of humor, very funny.

Speaker 11 (31:53):
And that was for those Okay, if you're the only
child close to parents, self control, leader, mature, appendable, demanding, unforgiving, private,
and sensitive.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Wow. Man, oh man, that's wild.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
How I mean, it's such a generalization, but man, do
they nail it. I hit a lot of Yeah, I
hit a lot of those. Yeah, that's wild. That's crazy, man,
that's a you know that that the youngest one. I mean,
you described my brother Sean to the tea, except that
he's financially he's not irresponsible. He owns two restaurants and

(32:26):
Steamboat Springs, zon Colorado. Yeah, okay, yeah, it works up
from nothing. He was like a busboy.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
So with six you find those ones that are in
the middle, they're they're sort of like a variance of
those things.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah. Yeah, that pretty much nailed them though. I guess.
So there's six kids, the three and four of the
middle one. Yeah, yeah, I guess so. Yeah, yeah, well
that's that's that's about right. But that's that's wild. How
you can generalize like that. That's great.
