Alex Stone, many people across Southeastern states on Thursday saw bright fireballs streaking across blue skies. Over cities like Atlanta the fireballs were seen and heard as loud booms. Today NASA says it was a meteor traveling at 30,000 miles an hour that disintegrated 27 miles above West Forest, Georgia. When it broke apart into smaller fireballs, it unleashed energy equivalent to about 20 tons of TNT. Dutch Bros.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. I
am sixty. It's Conway Show, Happy Friday. Let's get right
to Alex Stone, who I don't know if you saw it,
but I saw the fireball in the sky and I
freaked out. Did you see it, Alex? You saw it?
I saw it even in California. I saw it in California.
(00:22):
Let's not dig deeper into that. Okay, I saw it.
I don't know if you saw it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I saw it, sure, sure, Yeah, me too, me too.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, yeah, we saw Peo Bobo.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But yeah, that's that.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
But mostly outside of you and I mostly southeastern states.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, pretty much around Atlanta and generally in Georgia. But
you know, some people said it was one fireball. Some
people said it was multiple fireballs, depending on when they
saw it. If it broke apart yet, but they heard
boom noises and everything else, shook buildings, and yeah, people
didn't know right off the bat. They see the plane crash.
Was that a helicopter going down? Was it ra on
(00:58):
attacking us? Or was it a meteor? And it was
a meteor, But listen to these two guys driving along
as they had their dash cam going and you can
hear them.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Did you see that? I did?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
And those are odd Though they say it was scary
over the going over Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
It was really really scary. It was like a loud
boom noise, but it sounded like just someone stumping.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And then the shake was like the whole house was shaking.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So today Tim NASA explained what this was. So it
was a meteor first, seeing about forty eight miles above Oxford, Georgia.
It was going thirty thousand miles per hour twenty seven
miles above West Forest, Georgia. It disintegrated into a bunch
of little fireballs. Remember the candy fireballs. Yeah, well you
remember the drink fireball? Yeah, oh yeah, no, that's still around.
(01:45):
I have that in my cabinet at home.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
That's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, but although I hear the Jack Daniels fire is
even better. I gotta try that anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
So when it broke apart, it was a blast equal
to the energy of twenty tons of TNT.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So that's what caused the boom over the area.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And the original fireball, NASA said today was an asteroid
fragment only three feet in diameter. With that three foot
in diameter asteroid fragment weighed in it over a ton.
I mean, think about how dense that is. I looked
up today that. I mean that there are like some
of these asteroids of bigger ones that incredibly I mean
just like hundreds of tons.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, there's something that's eighty five miles wide coming towards
us at some point.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, that's a problem. That's not going to be good.
Imagine how many tons that is here this lady saw.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I think it's just like once in a lifetime experience.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
It was really really cool to see, but just definitely
out the ordinary.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
And NASA said it was so big and putting off
so much fire friction that the lightning mappers the satellites
that they have to pick up lightning and thunderstorms, and
it detected it as lightning. Doppler radar caught it as
it was moving along. But when it broke apart, the
little fragments and became like bullets, tiny bullets that went
into a home in Henry County, Georgia, and luck the
(03:00):
guy inside was not hit by these things and went
through his roof and through his walls and came in.
Emergency management said small, maybe a quarter of an inch
hole that had come through and where the sheep rock
had had something pinnished right through it. They think most
of it went into the woods near the guy's house,
but the owner of the house said that it sounded
like a gunshot coming in. The fragments went, I mean
just right through his roof, like a bullet wood.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The resident was just kind of in awe of what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You can imagine, I mean, that's a big deal, cheating death,
but pretty crazy. Scientists say around fifty tons of metior
material falls earth every day, so they're kind of going,
you know.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
This happened it fifty tons a day, fifty tons a day.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So they it was seen because it was over Atlanta
and over more populated areas normally go into the ocean
or in a rural area and mean, you fly over
the US, how much of that land has nobody around
but or the ocean.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But you know what, do you remember the one that
ended up by in I think it's in Russia, like
five or six years Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Had all those dash camps.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Everybody in Russia had a dash cam Yeah, it was fantastic.
But I'm glad you're like space goofball, like I am sure.
We had doctor Krupp on from the observatory and he said,
if you had a shotgun or any kind of machine
gun or whatever in space and you shot it, you
wouldn't be able to hear it because there's interesting there's
no noise that would come from the gun to your ear.
(04:18):
There's no way for that noise to travel. It isn't
a while. Oh that's weird. Plus he also said, if
a meteorite came by, a meteor came by your face,
it's eighty five miles wide and it's and it's going
eighty thousand miles an hour, you would not feel it
hear it. And you would see it for a second,
but you wouldn't feel it or hear it. Yeah, going
thirty thousand miles an hour by should be trestairy. You'd go,
I missed that one, right, just a little bit, just
(04:40):
a bit outside. But you know, they say they do
a great job tracking these things until they don't until
it comes in and they go, we don't know what
that was. And it took a day to figure it out, right,
But they should have they should have. I think that
was big enough to where they should have tracked it. Yeah,
I mean this one was they knew it wasn't gonna
do any damage. It wasn't gonna wipe out the dinosaurs
or anything. But it, yeah, three feet across enough to
(05:00):
create a show for everybody in Atlanta. You know, we
have listeners who either you know, they turn the station
up when we talk about space, where they turn it off.
There's nobody into it, nobody in between. Like we asked
doctor Krupp, you know, because it takes eight minutes. First
of all, it takes a million and a half years,
I think he said for the energy that's created in
the middle of the Sun to get to the outer
(05:21):
part of the Sun to be you know, projected onto
the entire We really know that, you know what, But
we do know for sure that it takes eight minutes
for light to get from the Sun to Earth. So technically,
technically speaking, nobody on Earth has ever seen a sunset.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That's true, not live at least, no, they've seen it
in tape delay. You're eight minutes and delayed.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That's crazy, buddy.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Any big fourth of July.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I know we talked about there's a lot of cant around.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What about you?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I was last night. I was driving to a home
depot at around nine nine thirty, had to pick something up,
and I saw a drone show at the Questrian Center
in Burbank, and I pulled over and I watched it. Man,
the things they're doing with drones is unbelievable. Now it
look like artwork. What were they doing it there for?
Is there a big enough crowd? I think I think
they every like Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I think they
(06:14):
have something at a Questrian Center where that you know,
it's like twenty bucks you pull your car and those
like old COVID days where you stay in your car
and don't talk to anybody and then see the thing
and take off.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's really cool.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I saw one of those when I did the Bay
or No the South Korea Olympics. They did a big
drone show and it was I mean, the way they
can move around, great images and maybe like people walking
by moving the drones in real time.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It looked like artwork. Yeah, it was incredible. But I
appreciate you coming on. Have a great weekend. Have a
great weekend. All right. There it goes Alex Stone dig dong.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
With that guy.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Here's something you know. Whenever I go to any store now,
whether it's Target, Walmart, Buffem's, there's still Buffems Bellios that
still exists. Buffems, I don't know if it does. But
Walmart Home Depot, I see every single person do the
exact same thing when they pick up a product. They
(07:08):
all look at the price. Now everybody is so conscious
of what it costs for everything everything. I'd lunch today
with three buddies I've known since third grade, well once
since third grade, the other since seventh grade, and we
and you sit there and you look at the menu.
These guys have all done well for themselves, and everybody's
(07:30):
looking at prices, like, hey, what if you ordered the
fries on the meal and I got the drink, but
maybe could share the drink. Everyone is worried about prices
on everything. So here's some good news, something that you
probably have not heard in the media. The highest the
average egg prices in the United States were in mid
(07:50):
March at about eight dollars a dozen. Right now, eggs
nationally are two dollars and fifty three cents of and
nobody talks about it. They only talk about it in
the news. If prices go up, when prices come down,
never mention it. Coffee is down as well. Coffee is
(08:11):
down significantly in the last just the last month, coffee
is down twelve and the wholesale coffee is down twelve
and a half percent, which means that Starbucks should reduce
their prices, or Dutch Brothers, because whenever the prices go up,
they ding us and hit us with a higher price
than the cup of coffee. But when the prices go down,
we don't get the savings. We get screwed. That's a
(08:32):
one way street with Starbucks and all these other coffee
houses Coffee Tea and Leaves or Coffee Me and Tea
Leaves or whatever that place is. And there's a billion
of them. Now there's Dutch Brothers, which is fantastic. They
haven't opened up near me, but I know Krozier, you
have Dutch Brothers out there.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
We got one in Upland that just opened up a
few months ago.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Have you been.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
I've been once.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's great. It's so good. It really as sugar to me.
I can't handle it. It's great. Every dream is like.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
So high sugar, except it's like the energy drinks that
are like so sugar hey for some people that can
handle it, awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You know, they're very I think they hire people at
Dutch Brothers based on their personality. I don't think they
you know, and then they'll teach them how to make drinks.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
By the way, Buffem's all sixteen locations and throughout southern California.
They close down in Nah when in nineteen ninety, oh god.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Late to the party. I was at a Dutch Brother's
up in Oregon or Washington, and I'm I'm driving through
with my daughter and the woman, you know, the girl,
she's probably like twenty two to twenty three. She says,
you have any plans today? And my instinct, my initial
(09:46):
instinct was no, what time do you get off? I
don't know, you know, I don't know what's going on,
you know what. You can jump in the car now, Well,
let's buzz around. And my daughter is more defined, she's like, damn,
she just is asking if you and and I have
any plans today where they're going to the zoo, We're
going shopping. Got almighty. Everything is just so on and
(10:06):
off with you, like, oh, please just drink the sugar
a cup of sugar, but that Dutch brother is great.
The Dutch Brothers stock has gone from twenty three dollars
to share at around October of last year, maybe July
of last year, to now seventy dollars a share. So
if you bought a thousand shares last summer for twenty
three grand, you now have seventy thousand dollars. So congratulations.
(10:29):
That stock I think is going to take off. I
think it's going to take off even bigger than what
it is now. All Right, we're live on CAFI AM
six forty. We'll we come back. More prices, more prices
for you. Everything's getting expensive. I'm gonna tell you what
it costs this summer when you go on an airplane.
I have the baggage fees for the top twelve airlines,
and some of them are unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
This is our Hollywood segment that we do on Well
this Friday, and Heather Brooker's here.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
How you I'm good, I'm good. Monks calls me Hollywood. Heather.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Okay, that's cool. I guess I like an alliteration moment
and I understand. I heard John with Gary Hoffman. Where
was Shannon? She wasn't around today.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
She's on vacation. Wow, the girl deserves a vacation.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Everyone was out of vacation.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
She does, and everyone's like, oh, she got suspended where
you know why people always jump to the worst possible scenario.
She just wanted a break.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
She's in a dead heat with Angel Martinez and days off? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Does Angels take a lot of days off?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh my god? When she's here, I'm like, wow, that's right,
she's she works with us, I forget.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Does Angel take side streets on her va?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeahs crowded, she takes side streets.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I love.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
All Right. So Hollywood's getting a lot of money, a
lot of tax credits.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Big story coming out of Hollywood today, and a lot
of people are going to be happy. So the legislature
finally approved that big film and TV tax credit incentive.
It's going to go from three hundred and thirty million
dollars to seven hundred and fifty million dollars. It's huge.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
How does that work? Is it dollar for dollar?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I don't think it's dollar for dollar. I think you
have to meet like certain criteria. You have to apply
for it and you know that sort of thing, but
reimburse you, They reimburse you. Yeah, it's tax incentives, tax
credits that filmmakers, anybody really film and television makers are
going to get. The thing that's that's great about this
bill and what lobbyists and everybody have been pushing for,
(12:29):
is because there hasn't been a new one that's been
approved for such a long time. There's been so many
changes in developments in film and television since the original
tax credit was passed that things like short form television sitcoms,
short form short films even didn't qualify for certain now
(12:50):
like they will now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I watch Family Feud and a couple other TV shows
and at the end of every one of them made
injurede do you hate it all made in Georgia?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I mean, listen, we love that there is movies being
made anywhere, you know, as an actor myself and somebody
who enjoys it, you know, fellow actors and fellow actors. Yeah,
and Crozier the crosy out and Bell Bell was acted
what are they acting?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Though? Was in Friends? She was in she started the
knew that that the Rachel haircut. It's called did.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
You start the Rachel before Rachel? She stole it from me?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That busy Tell Heather why you weren't invited back to
be an extra on that show The Mark because I
was pulling.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Focus from the maincha. Of course you were. Belly is
the star pull focus?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
That's before or right after you started dating Bill Gates?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Did you let that Bill Gates get away what.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
She did?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
True?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
You could have been the Lauren Sanchez of the Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, would have been there, Come here, Belly. I would
have been in Venice right now in her own she's
going through trash looking for John Colvelt's key card.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
There's some truth to that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It's true, totally true.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Have you ever seen those extras though on TV shows
that do pull focus? Like there's whole like fan accounts
dedicated to watching background performers that are doing weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
In the background. Belly so crazy it just drives Bellio nuts.
Is when you're doing extra work and you're in a
table of two and you're both talking at the same time.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yes, they're both talking, and you know they're not really
saying anything, or they're pretending to eat and there's like
nothing on their fork or their plate or or when
they're drinking and you know there's nothing in their cup.
And that's not just background notchers, that's main actress. Yeah,
they're too light when the coffee made light.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, you drives me crazy when I watch movies is
if somebody's carrying luggage, it's very clearly empty, empty, and
the way they handle it's like a feather. You know,
you've had a forty five pounds case. It breaks your back.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
How hard is it to put a little something in
there to make it seem a little more realist? Because
all of us savvy movie and TV watchers, we know
what's going on.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You know, I knew that there was gonna be some
kind of big, you know, shot in the arm for
Hollywood because Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers put four new sound
stages on the corner of Hollywood and Verdugo. They wouldn't
have done that lest they knew there was something coming.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
No, and this has been in the works for quite
a while, and there's a lot of people that have
been pushing for it because Hollywood. You know, you can
go to Georgia, you can go to Vancouver, you can
go anywhere in the world and make a TV show,
But nothing has that feeling like being in Hollywood, like
being in La This is where it all started, and
we needed this really bad because there's a lot of
(15:39):
people out of work. I think it'll be a while.
It may not kick in like immediately. I got some
feelers out, I've got some calls out to some people
to find out when this we're gonna actually start seeing this,
hopefully soon because people have been like out of work
for so long, their jobs and the strikes, all of
these think COVID, the strikes, you know, all of the
(16:00):
stuff have really hit Hollywood hard. But hopefully this will
be a nice shot in the arm, and it's hopefully
it's not too late.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And real quickly. You saw F one, I did. Where'd
you see it?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
I saw it an Imax, Yeah, in Imax of the
Culver City. Yeah it was good. Bet the trailer looks unbelievable. Listen,
I will tell you this. It is shot in Imax,
and it is shot in a way that makes you
feel completely immersed in the car and in the race.
(16:31):
You have not seen a movie, a car racing movie,
that has been shot like this before.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
They said go high or get high before you watch it.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well, I mean I did, but I don't think you
need to do that. But it's definitely enjoyable. And Brad
Pitt isn't bad either.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Is it the same people that did Top Gun?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Yes, it's the same Top Gun Maverick, it's the same
director and music. And then Berlin starts playing for some
reason in the background.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yeah, and there's just like silhouettes of Brad Pitt making
out with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Huge.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's going to be a really big movie. And not
only is the cinematography fantastic, Brad Pitt's really great in it.
The cast is really good. It's not a story that's gonna, like,
you know, blow your mind. It's an underdog guy who
thought he was down it out. It's a typical story.
But it's fun and it's immersive, and that's why we
go to the movies. We want to tune out from
all of the bs in the world, watch a fun movie,
(17:31):
have a bucket of popcorn, maybe kiss somebody at the
end of the night. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And it's you saw it on Imax.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I saw it in Imax. That's how it was filmed. Yeah,
that's how it was filmed for Imax. So if you
can swing for that second about twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That's not bad.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
That's not bad. I have the AMC like a discount ticket.
You know, this is not sponsored by AMC, but it
should be. I have the little discount pass. Well we
get a couple bucks off. Really basically, yeah, anytime I
can save money, I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I get it now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Look we you know everyone looks at prices of everything.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, are you gonna go see F one?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I'm gonna go see it. I don't know when.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I don't really have time.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
You know, it'll be on streaming in a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I know, I think it can be. It's gonna be
on streaming like in a month. But I want to
see it.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I'm you need to go see it in the theater.
If you can't do IMAX, at least I see it
in the theater because it's really really good, very entertaining.
I did not know much about F one and about
a car racing. I'm not a kind of car racing person.
But I felt like this was so enjoyable enough. I
was like, am I Am I a F one fan?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I mean maybe who knows. Yeah, it's going to do
wonders for that sport too.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah, I'm Lewis Hamilton, who is with the one of
the most prolific racing F one racers, was a producer
on it, and he also was a cameo in the film,
So that's fun for racing fans. Another nugget about this
movie is they actually filmed it during the F one
races in Vegas, in Vegas all over the world. So
the way the director described it was that they were
(18:55):
kind of like making their own little pit stop while
filming the movie, Like they would run in in between
the races and in between the breaks and the races,
film their scenes and then run out.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I bet the drivers love that, Oh I'm sure, but
they got to see Brad Pins. All right, Heather Brooker,

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Well, we've got an interesting crop of different ideas because
that's what we like to do, so we have Douglas
Murray do you know English? Yeah, the English Chap who's
you know, more conservatives guy who's got a huge following
and has written a book I think about Israel and
(21:02):
sort of the fight for the survival of the really
the Jewish people. I was out at the Nixon at
the Nixon Library this week, which is a great location.
I don't know if you've been out there before. It's
really They redid it in the last few years. It's
really amazing. They have an exact replica of the East
Room of the White House, which is where we did.
They asked me to host this event. They had about
(21:23):
eight hundred people there with a sold out standing room
on the event and I interviewed him for about an
hour on stage and it was really interesting. It's on
my YouTube page now. People want to check it out
YouTube dot com, slash Elwis Michaelson and so we're going
to have part of that conversation. And then we've got
the guys behind Midas Touch, which has become one of
the top podcasts in the country, Progressive Side. Three brothers,
(21:47):
two of them from la who started this during the pandemic.
It's sort of a hobby and turned it into like
one of the biggest things in all of progressive media.
And so we were I think we were the first
people they did a TV segment with back when they
started it, and now they literally some weeks have the
number one podcast beating Joe Rogan. Wow, your success too.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Hey, what is the word on the street with the
new possible mayor of New York City is what do
you hear from the progressives?
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Well, the progressives are happy, but the more interesting thing
is what do you hear from the moderates? Because there
is going to be a very very strong pushback in
the months ahead to try to make sure that this
guy does not get to be the mayor of New
York City. So I think there's Andrew Cuomo, sounds like
he wants to keep running as an independent, you know,
Ayor Adams, the current mayor who's a ten percent approval,
(22:41):
wants to keep running. And then there's Purty, a Republican.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
But Alex Michaelson's wethers why are they fighting it? If
that's what the majority of the left in New York wants,
why are they fighting it? That's what they want?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Well, but the majority of the left does not make
up the majority of the city. That's the that's the challenge.
That's their argument at least that that's a you know,
a portion of the Democratic primary bates and that the
general election, and it's possible. You know, this is such
a thing that it would basically take the Republicans to
New York, the Independence, the older people, the Jews to
(23:17):
like sort of all get together and say we're going
to let all bygones be bygones. We're going to do
whatever it takes to make sure that this guy does
not become there. When you think about what he stands for,
it's very outside the mainstream even of a lot of
people here in la I mean, he's in favor of
not a fan of capitalism, literally, doesn't really believe in capitalism,
(23:40):
not a fan of Israel at all, supports free Palestine,
not a fan of the police. What the defund the police,
you know, and then wants to do everything for free
with some magical tax increase of ten billion dollars that
I'm not sure I was going to pass. And so
he wants to give free free buses and free trains.
You think about that when we tried that here in
(24:02):
southern California. It didn't work out so well. Right now
we're spending our time trying to add more fares because
all the people that stayed on the trains for free
were a lot of them were homeless people who are
doing drugs and attacking people. Right, I don't you know,
it seems like LA actually tried a lot of this
like uber uber progressive thing, and now there's a pushback
(24:23):
here in LA because it didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Right, But if you're a Republican, wouldn't it make sense
to send money to this guy to try to get
him in office.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Unless you live in New York.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, right, if you don't live in New York, let
them deal with it, you know, send the guy a
couple hundred bucks, let him win and see how that goes.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Meaning it's such a he's the poster child for a
democratic excess and you'd like to run again. I understand
what you're saying, But it's also the biggest city in
the country, and it might not be great for our
economy of the center of global finances having this experiment.
But I don't know. I don't endorse, right.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I get it, But man, is he really come out
of nowhere?
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You know well. And it's also a reminder, by the way,
of the power of social media. I mean, the guy
is exactly young and fun and kind of funny, and
he's good at he's good at TikTok. He's out there,
you know. And then the Democrats run Andrew Croomo, who
is so old and flawed, right, the guy that's been
(25:23):
governor been kicked out because the sexual assignment. They just
assume running the same playbook. I think, whatever you think,
whether you're a Republican or Democrat, I think there are
lessons that every politician can learn from this guy. And
the other thing he did, which is he didn't make
his whole campaign about Donald Trump. He made his campaign
about New York. He made it about affordability, which is
(25:44):
which is an issue, by the way, if you were
to run in California, the number one issue in this
state if you look at poll after pole, is affordability. Now,
you may not like what he said about affordability, but
at least he identified a problem that people actually think about.
It's not just about running against the White House. It's
about trying to solve the problems and the local government.
(26:04):
You may not like a solutions but I give him
credit for being running a really good campaign.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I'm with you, buddy, appreciate you coming on ten thirty tonight.
The issue is the issue is I have a nice weekend.
Well I don't know if it will be here next week.
But if we don't have a great fourth.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Happy for it. And so from this, I'm judging that
you would vote for Zran.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Is that that's even Send him a couple.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Of bucks, send him some money, you want to everybody
try that.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Look if if if he wins, there's a lot of
wealthy people leave LA. I leave New York and they're
going to come to LA and our property values are
going to go up.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
How about that day?
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, we're going to be the conservative answer to New York.
Come to come to California for reasonable tax follows.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, come to the come to Red City, La. Enjoy yourself.
But I appreciate you coming on. Thanks man, All right
with you? Alex Michaelson Ding dong with that guy. Oh,
I won't come back. I promised. We've had one guest
after another f another, but I promised you we're gonna
come back and tell you what is going to cost
you to take that bag? This year this summer on
(27:13):
these airlines Alaska, American Delta, Hawaiian Jet Blue. You're not
gonna believe one of them is unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but
in the last six months, and I don't know why
it's happened in the last six months. But whenever I
go any place, whether I've got to California Pizza Kitchen today,
I went to Islands not bragging, made a couple of
bucks I can slide in there, or Chick fil A
or Jack in the Box or Taco bell I do
(27:49):
something about my diet. All the new kids, all the
kids that are like between sixteen and twenty, you know,
the ones that have this is their first job and
they're working. Man. I tell you, they all have a
smile on their face and they all really seem to
enjoy their jobs. And I don't know where that came from,
but I've noticed it in the last six months. The people,
(28:12):
the kids working at fast food or restaurants, waiters, bus boys,
they all seem to have a pep in their step.
I don't know whether they're told to do that. I
went to island today. I dealt with a very nice
young lady named Destiny. She was the best waitress ever,
had great personality in the Islands in Sherman Oaks. And
(28:32):
then over the weekend I went to California Pizza Kitchen
and there was a young lady named Sophia that helped
me out, and she had a great personality and she
helped me out, got the order right. And then at
a kid named Wan over at Chick fil A. I
got Chick fil A sauce with my order and he's like,
you know, we got other sauces. I always see you
(28:53):
get Chick fil A. How about here try a buffalo
in a sweet and sour. I'm like, Oh, that kid's
going to go somewhere. These kids are going to go
somewhere because working is all enthusiasm. And I keep trying
to tell that to everybody. When you show up to work,
you if you're enthusiastic, they'll never let you go. They'll
(29:14):
never let you go. They can't let you go because
they like you. And you can never fire a friend.
You never fire somebody who people like. Well, not always,
but sometimes that happens. But the enthusiasm the kids have
nowadays at these fast food places is great. There's a
young lady who works at the Taco bell on Buena
(29:34):
Vista and Magnolia, and her grandparents raised her. And I
said to her one day, I said, hey, I said,
you know what I said, You've got a great personality.
And I don't know who raised you, but they did
a great job. And she said, oh, I can't wait
to call my grandmother to tell her that, because she
was raised by her grandmother, her grandparents. And I always
(29:57):
tell kids like that, I'm like a ninety year old,
we are doing a great job. You know. I'm like,
I turned into that guy overnight. I don't know what happened,
but I always tell these kids. If I see somebody
who's great at their job, who's enthusiastic, I always tell them,
keep it up, keep it up. You're going to go
places with that personality. So if you're listening, maybe you're
(30:19):
on your way to work. Keep it up, keep it up.
It's all personality, all right. Airlines are going to charge
a lot of money for bags this summer. Alaska Airline,
your carry on is free, then it's thirty forty and
then one hundred dollars for your third bag. How about this,
American Airlines, they're going to give you a carry on
for free. Your first bag's thirty five, second, forty five
(30:41):
third bag on American Airlines two one hundred dollars two
hundred bucks. Delta Airlines carry on for free thirty dollars
first bag, forty dollars second bag, one fifty for your
third bag. Frontier Airlines, your carry on will cost you
fifteen thousand dollars. Your first bag is twenty grand, your
(31:04):
second bag is forty five grand, and your third bag
is you have to you have to take a heat
lockout pay for that. No Frontier Airlines thirty five dollars
to carry a bag. On Frontier Airlines for just a backpack,
they're going to charge you thirty five dollars, then thirty,
forty five and eighty five. Hawaiian Airlines free carry on,
(31:24):
first bag, thirty second forty. Southwest Airlines used to be free, free,
free one or seventy five used to be free carry
on free first bag, free second bag, and then seventy
five for your third bag. That's going away. Spirit Airlines
thirty five to forty bucks for your carry on bag.
(31:47):
Sun Country Airlines don't really know where they fly, but
maybe Sunny State thirty, thirty, thirty and sixty. United Airlines
free for your carry on, thirty for your first bag,
forty second bag, one p fifty for your third bag. Oh,
I don't know where people get the money to travel.
We're live on KFI AM six forty. I'll tell you
(32:08):
that though, right here on KFI AM six forty. Oh.
Bob Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app
It's KF I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. I
am sixty. It's Conway Show, Happy Friday. Let's get right
to Alex Stone, who I don't know if you saw it,
but I saw the fireball in the sky and I
freaked out. Did you see it, Alex? You saw it?
I saw it even in California. I saw it in California.
(00:22):
Let's not dig deeper into that. Okay, I saw it.
I don't know if you saw it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I saw it, sure, sure, Yeah, me too, me too.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, yeah, we saw Peo Bobo.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But yeah, that's that.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
But mostly outside of you and I mostly southeastern states.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, pretty much around Atlanta and generally in Georgia. But
you know, some people said it was one fireball. Some
people said it was multiple fireballs, depending on when they
saw it. If it broke apart yet, but they heard
boom noises and everything else, shook buildings, and yeah, people
didn't know right off the bat. They see the plane crash.
Was that a helicopter going down? Was it ra on
(00:58):
attacking us? Or was it a meteor? And it was
a meteor, But listen to these two guys driving along
as they had their dash cam going and you can
hear them.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Did you see that? I did?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
And those are odd Though they say it was scary
over the going over Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
It was really really scary. It was like a loud
boom noise, but it sounded like just someone stumping.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And then the shake was like the whole house was shaking.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
So today Tim NASA explained what this was. So it
was a meteor first, seeing about forty eight miles above Oxford, Georgia.
It was going thirty thousand miles per hour twenty seven
miles above West Forest, Georgia. It disintegrated into a bunch
of little fireballs. Remember the candy fireballs. Yeah, well you
remember the drink fireball? Yeah, oh yeah, no, that's still around.
(01:45):
I have that in my cabinet at home.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
That's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, but although I hear the Jack Daniels fire is
even better. I gotta try that anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
So when it broke apart, it was a blast equal
to the energy of twenty tons of TNT.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So that's what caused the boom over the area.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And the original fireball, NASA said today was an asteroid
fragment only three feet in diameter. With that three foot
in diameter asteroid fragment weighed in it over a ton.
I mean, think about how dense that is. I looked
up today that. I mean that there are like some
of these asteroids of bigger ones that incredibly I mean
just like hundreds of tons.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, there's something that's eighty five miles wide coming towards
us at some point.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, that's a problem. That's not going to be good.
Imagine how many tons that is here this lady saw.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I think it's just like once in a lifetime experience.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
It was really really cool to see, but just definitely
out the ordinary.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
And NASA said it was so big and putting off
so much fire friction that the lightning mappers the satellites
that they have to pick up lightning and thunderstorms, and
it detected it as lightning. Doppler radar caught it as
it was moving along. But when it broke apart, the
little fragments and became like bullets, tiny bullets that went
into a home in Henry County, Georgia, and luck the
(03:00):
guy inside was not hit by these things and went
through his roof and through his walls and came in.
Emergency management said small, maybe a quarter of an inch
hole that had come through and where the sheep rock
had had something pinnished right through it. They think most
of it went into the woods near the guy's house,
but the owner of the house said that it sounded
like a gunshot coming in. The fragments went, I mean
just right through his roof, like a bullet wood.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
The resident was just kind of in awe of what happened.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You can imagine, I mean, that's a big deal, cheating death,
but pretty crazy. Scientists say around fifty tons of metior
material falls earth every day, so they're kind of going,
you know.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
This happened it fifty tons a day, fifty tons a day.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So they it was seen because it was over Atlanta
and over more populated areas normally go into the ocean
or in a rural area and mean, you fly over
the US, how much of that land has nobody around
but or the ocean.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But you know what, do you remember the one that
ended up by in I think it's in Russia, like
five or six years Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Had all those dash camps.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Everybody in Russia had a dash cam Yeah, it was fantastic.
But I'm glad you're like space goofball, like I am sure.
We had doctor Krupp on from the observatory and he said,
if you had a shotgun or any kind of machine
gun or whatever in space and you shot it, you
wouldn't be able to hear it because there's interesting there's
no noise that would come from the gun to your ear.
(04:18):
There's no way for that noise to travel. It isn't
a while. Oh that's weird. Plus he also said, if
a meteorite came by, a meteor came by your face,
it's eighty five miles wide and it's and it's going
eighty thousand miles an hour, you would not feel it
hear it. And you would see it for a second,
but you wouldn't feel it or hear it. Yeah, going
thirty thousand miles an hour by should be trestairy. You'd go,
I missed that one, right, just a little bit, just
(04:40):
a bit outside. But you know, they say they do
a great job tracking these things until they don't until
it comes in and they go, we don't know what
that was. And it took a day to figure it out, right,
But they should have they should have. I think that
was big enough to where they should have tracked it. Yeah,
I mean this one was they knew it wasn't gonna
do any damage. It wasn't gonna wipe out the dinosaurs
or anything. But it, yeah, three feet across enough to
(05:00):
create a show for everybody in Atlanta. You know, we
have listeners who either you know, they turn the station
up when we talk about space, where they turn it off.
There's nobody into it, nobody in between. Like we asked
doctor Krupp, you know, because it takes eight minutes. First
of all, it takes a million and a half years,
I think he said for the energy that's created in
the middle of the Sun to get to the outer
(05:21):
part of the Sun to be you know, projected onto
the entire We really know that, you know what, But
we do know for sure that it takes eight minutes
for light to get from the Sun to Earth. So technically,
technically speaking, nobody on Earth has ever seen a sunset.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
That's true, not live at least, no, they've seen it
in tape delay. You're eight minutes and delayed.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That's crazy, buddy.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Any big fourth of July.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I know we talked about there's a lot of cant around.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What about you?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
You know?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I was last night. I was driving to a home
depot at around nine nine thirty, had to pick something up,
and I saw a drone show at the Questrian Center
in Burbank, and I pulled over and I watched it. Man,
the things they're doing with drones is unbelievable. Now it
look like artwork. What were they doing it there for?
Is there a big enough crowd? I think I think
they every like Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I think they
(06:14):
have something at a Questrian Center where that you know,
it's like twenty bucks you pull your car and those
like old COVID days where you stay in your car
and don't talk to anybody and then see the thing
and take off.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's really cool.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I saw one of those when I did the Bay
or No the South Korea Olympics. They did a big
drone show and it was I mean, the way they
can move around, great images and maybe like people walking
by moving the drones in real time.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It looked like artwork. Yeah, it was incredible. But I
appreciate you coming on. Have a great weekend. Have a
great weekend. All right. There it goes Alex Stone dig dong.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
With that guy.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Here's something you know. Whenever I go to any store now,
whether it's Target, Walmart, Buffem's, there's still Buffems Bellios that
still exists. Buffems, I don't know if it does. But
Walmart Home Depot, I see every single person do the
exact same thing when they pick up a product. They
(07:08):
all look at the price. Now everybody is so conscious
of what it costs for everything everything. I'd lunch today
with three buddies I've known since third grade, well once
since third grade, the other since seventh grade, and we
and you sit there and you look at the menu.
These guys have all done well for themselves, and everybody's
(07:30):
looking at prices, like, hey, what if you ordered the
fries on the meal and I got the drink, but
maybe could share the drink. Everyone is worried about prices
on everything. So here's some good news, something that you
probably have not heard in the media. The highest the
average egg prices in the United States were in mid
(07:50):
March at about eight dollars a dozen. Right now, eggs
nationally are two dollars and fifty three cents of and
nobody talks about it. They only talk about it in
the news. If prices go up, when prices come down,
never mention it. Coffee is down as well. Coffee is
(08:11):
down significantly in the last just the last month, coffee
is down twelve and the wholesale coffee is down twelve
and a half percent, which means that Starbucks should reduce
their prices, or Dutch Brothers, because whenever the prices go up,
they ding us and hit us with a higher price
than the cup of coffee. But when the prices go down,
we don't get the savings. We get screwed. That's a
(08:32):
one way street with Starbucks and all these other coffee
houses Coffee Tea and Leaves or Coffee Me and Tea
Leaves or whatever that place is. And there's a billion
of them. Now there's Dutch Brothers, which is fantastic. They
haven't opened up near me, but I know Krozier, you
have Dutch Brothers out there.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
We got one in Upland that just opened up a
few months ago.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Have you been.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
I've been once.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's great. It's so good. It really as sugar to me.
I can't handle it. It's great. Every dream is like.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
So high sugar, except it's like the energy drinks that
are like so sugar hey for some people that can
handle it, awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You know, they're very I think they hire people at
Dutch Brothers based on their personality. I don't think they
you know, and then they'll teach them how to make drinks.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
By the way, Buffem's all sixteen locations and throughout southern California.
They close down in Nah when in nineteen ninety, oh god.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Late to the party. I was at a Dutch Brother's
up in Oregon or Washington, and I'm I'm driving through
with my daughter and the woman, you know, the girl,
she's probably like twenty two to twenty three. She says,
you have any plans today? And my instinct, my initial
(09:46):
instinct was no, what time do you get off? I
don't know, you know, I don't know what's going on,
you know what. You can jump in the car now, Well,
let's buzz around. And my daughter is more defined, she's like, damn,
she just is asking if you and and I have
any plans today where they're going to the zoo, We're
going shopping. Got almighty. Everything is just so on and
(10:06):
off with you, like, oh, please just drink the sugar
a cup of sugar, but that Dutch brother is great.
The Dutch Brothers stock has gone from twenty three dollars
to share at around October of last year, maybe July
of last year, to now seventy dollars a share. So
if you bought a thousand shares last summer for twenty
three grand, you now have seventy thousand dollars. So congratulations.
(10:29):
That stock I think is going to take off. I
think it's going to take off even bigger than what
it is now. All Right, we're live on CAFI AM
six forty. We'll we come back. More prices, more prices
for you. Everything's getting expensive. I'm gonna tell you what
it costs this summer when you go on an airplane.
I have the baggage fees for the top twelve airlines,
and some of them are unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
This is our Hollywood segment that we do on Well
this Friday, and Heather Brooker's here.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
How you I'm good, I'm good. Monks calls me Hollywood. Heather.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Okay, that's cool. I guess I like an alliteration moment
and I understand. I heard John with Gary Hoffman. Where
was Shannon? She wasn't around today.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
She's on vacation. Wow, the girl deserves a vacation.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Everyone was out of vacation.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
She does, and everyone's like, oh, she got suspended where
you know why people always jump to the worst possible scenario.
She just wanted a break.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
She's in a dead heat with Angel Martinez and days off? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Does Angels take a lot of days off?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh my god? When she's here, I'm like, wow, that's right,
she's she works with us, I forget.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Does Angel take side streets on her va?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yeahs crowded, she takes side streets.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I love.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
All Right. So Hollywood's getting a lot of money, a
lot of tax credits.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Big story coming out of Hollywood today, and a lot
of people are going to be happy. So the legislature
finally approved that big film and TV tax credit incentive.
It's going to go from three hundred and thirty million
dollars to seven hundred and fifty million dollars. It's huge.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
How does that work? Is it dollar for dollar?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I don't think it's dollar for dollar. I think you
have to meet like certain criteria. You have to apply
for it and you know that sort of thing, but
reimburse you, They reimburse you. Yeah, it's tax incentives, tax
credits that filmmakers, anybody really film and television makers are
going to get. The thing that's that's great about this
bill and what lobbyists and everybody have been pushing for,
(12:29):
is because there hasn't been a new one that's been
approved for such a long time. There's been so many
changes in developments in film and television since the original
tax credit was passed that things like short form television sitcoms,
short form short films even didn't qualify for certain now
(12:50):
like they will now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I watch Family Feud and a couple other TV shows
and at the end of every one of them made
injurede do you hate it all made in Georgia?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
I mean, listen, we love that there is movies being
made anywhere, you know, as an actor myself and somebody
who enjoys it, you know, fellow actors and fellow actors. Yeah,
and Crozier the crosy out and Bell Bell was acted
what are they acting?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Though? Was in Friends? She was in she started the
knew that that the Rachel haircut. It's called did.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
You start the Rachel before Rachel? She stole it from me?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
That busy Tell Heather why you weren't invited back to
be an extra on that show The Mark because I
was pulling.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Focus from the maincha. Of course you were. Belly is
the star pull focus?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
That's before or right after you started dating Bill Gates?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Did you let that Bill Gates get away what.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
She did?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
True?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
You could have been the Lauren Sanchez of the Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, would have been there, Come here, Belly. I would
have been in Venice right now in her own she's
going through trash looking for John Colvelt's key card.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
There's some truth to that.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It's true, totally true.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Have you ever seen those extras though on TV shows
that do pull focus? Like there's whole like fan accounts
dedicated to watching background performers that are doing weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
In the background. Belly so crazy it just drives Bellio nuts.
Is when you're doing extra work and you're in a
table of two and you're both talking at the same time.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yes, they're both talking, and you know they're not really
saying anything, or they're pretending to eat and there's like
nothing on their fork or their plate or or when
they're drinking and you know there's nothing in their cup.
And that's not just background notchers, that's main actress. Yeah,
they're too light when the coffee made light.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, you drives me crazy when I watch movies is
if somebody's carrying luggage, it's very clearly empty, empty, and
the way they handle it's like a feather. You know,
you've had a forty five pounds case. It breaks your back.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
How hard is it to put a little something in
there to make it seem a little more realist? Because
all of us savvy movie and TV watchers, we know
what's going on.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
You know, I knew that there was gonna be some
kind of big, you know, shot in the arm for
Hollywood because Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers put four new sound
stages on the corner of Hollywood and Verdugo. They wouldn't
have done that lest they knew there was something coming.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
No, and this has been in the works for quite
a while, and there's a lot of people that have
been pushing for it because Hollywood. You know, you can
go to Georgia, you can go to Vancouver, you can
go anywhere in the world and make a TV show,
But nothing has that feeling like being in Hollywood, like
being in La This is where it all started, and
we needed this really bad because there's a lot of
(15:39):
people out of work. I think it'll be a while.
It may not kick in like immediately. I got some
feelers out, I've got some calls out to some people
to find out when this we're gonna actually start seeing this,
hopefully soon because people have been like out of work
for so long, their jobs and the strikes, all of
these think COVID, the strikes, you know, all of the
(16:00):
stuff have really hit Hollywood hard. But hopefully this will
be a nice shot in the arm, and it's hopefully
it's not too late.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And real quickly. You saw F one, I did. Where'd
you see it?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
I saw it an Imax, Yeah, in Imax of the
Culver City. Yeah it was good. Bet the trailer looks unbelievable. Listen,
I will tell you this. It is shot in Imax,
and it is shot in a way that makes you
feel completely immersed in the car and in the race.
(16:31):
You have not seen a movie, a car racing movie,
that has been shot like this before.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
They said go high or get high before you watch it.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Well, I mean I did, but I don't think you
need to do that. But it's definitely enjoyable. And Brad
Pitt isn't bad either.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Is it the same people that did Top Gun?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Yes, it's the same Top Gun Maverick, it's the same
director and music. And then Berlin starts playing for some
reason in the background.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yeah, and there's just like silhouettes of Brad Pitt making
out with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Huge.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
It's going to be a really big movie. And not
only is the cinematography fantastic, Brad Pitt's really great in it.
The cast is really good. It's not a story that's gonna, like,
you know, blow your mind. It's an underdog guy who
thought he was down it out. It's a typical story.
But it's fun and it's immersive, and that's why we
go to the movies. We want to tune out from
all of the bs in the world, watch a fun movie,
(17:31):
have a bucket of popcorn, maybe kiss somebody at the
end of the night. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And it's you saw it on Imax.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I saw it in Imax. That's how it was filmed. Yeah,
that's how it was filmed for Imax. So if you
can swing for that second about twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That's not bad.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
That's not bad. I have the AMC like a discount ticket.
You know, this is not sponsored by AMC, but it
should be. I have the little discount pass. Well we
get a couple bucks off. Really basically, yeah, anytime I
can save money, I'm going to do it.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I get it now.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Look we you know everyone looks at prices of everything.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, are you gonna go see F one?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I'm gonna go see it. I don't know when.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I don't really have time.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
You know, it'll be on streaming in a couple of months.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I know, I think it can be. It's gonna be
on streaming like in a month. But I want to
see it.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I'm you need to go see it in the theater.
If you can't do IMAX, at least I see it
in the theater because it's really really good, very entertaining.
I did not know much about F one and about
a car racing. I'm not a kind of car racing person.
But I felt like this was so enjoyable enough. I
was like, am I Am I a F one fan?
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I mean maybe who knows. Yeah, it's going to do
wonders for that sport too.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Yeah, I'm Lewis Hamilton, who is with the one of
the most prolific racing F one racers, was a producer
on it, and he also was a cameo in the film,
So that's fun for racing fans. Another nugget about this
movie is they actually filmed it during the F one
races in Vegas, in Vegas all over the world. So
the way the director described it was that they were
(18:55):
kind of like making their own little pit stop while
filming the movie, Like they would run in in between
the races and in between the breaks and the races,
film their scenes and then run out.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I bet the drivers love that, Oh I'm sure, but
they got to see Brad Pins. All right, Heather Brooker,
thank you. Where are you on social media?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I'm the Heather Brooker on Instagram and Facebook. And also
you can check out my bi weekly show here on
iHeartRadio called Entertainment where we break down the weekly box office,
but we also talk about so call entertainment and events.
Everybody check that out to fund show. And then you're
on with Gary and Shannon every Friday talking about the
box office. Twelve twenty all right, I'll tune.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
In for that.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Alex Michaelson hosts the show called The Issue Is, and
then he also is the anchor over there at Fox
eleven News, and he joins us.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Elex, how you bob.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
With you? Dig dong with you? I know that sounds angry,
but I'm not. Hey, how's your boy a lawsuit? What's up?
What's up?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
What's up with the lawsuit? Of course, I'm talking about
govern newsome Fox News.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I'm gonna I'm going to, for the sake of my
own career, respectfully declined to comment and reacht to Fox's
lawyers on that one.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
You've got a dog in the fight.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I get it, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
You know, I don't want to want told by my
bosses not to talk about that because they're afraid that
I would say something. So I'm just not going to say.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
All right, So thanks for coming on.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
That's it, yeah said Hey.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
So, first of all, who's on the big show this weekend?
The Issue Is?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Well, we've got an interesting crop of different ideas because
that's what we like to do, so we have Douglas
Murray do you know English? Yeah, the English Chap who's
you know, more conservatives guy who's got a huge following
and has written a book I think about Israel and
(21:02):
sort of the fight for the survival of the really
the Jewish people. I was out at the Nixon at
the Nixon Library this week, which is a great location.
I don't know if you've been out there before. It's
really They redid it in the last few years. It's
really amazing. They have an exact replica of the East
Room of the White House, which is where we did.
They asked me to host this event. They had about
(21:23):
eight hundred people there with a sold out standing room
on the event and I interviewed him for about an
hour on stage and it was really interesting. It's on
my YouTube page now. People want to check it out
YouTube dot com, slash Elwis Michaelson and so we're going
to have part of that conversation. And then we've got
the guys behind Midas Touch, which has become one of
the top podcasts in the country, Progressive Side. Three brothers,
(21:47):
two of them from la who started this during the pandemic.
It's sort of a hobby and turned it into like
one of the biggest things in all of progressive media.
And so we were I think we were the first
people they did a TV segment with back when they
started it, and now they literally some weeks have the
number one podcast beating Joe Rogan. Wow, your success too.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Hey, what is the word on the street with the
new possible mayor of New York City is what do
you hear from the progressives?
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Well, the progressives are happy, but the more interesting thing
is what do you hear from the moderates? Because there
is going to be a very very strong pushback in
the months ahead to try to make sure that this
guy does not get to be the mayor of New
York City. So I think there's Andrew Cuomo, sounds like
he wants to keep running as an independent, you know,
Ayor Adams, the current mayor who's a ten percent approval,
(22:41):
wants to keep running. And then there's Purty, a Republican.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
But Alex Michaelson's wethers why are they fighting it? If
that's what the majority of the left in New York wants,
why are they fighting it? That's what they want?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Well, but the majority of the left does not make
up the majority of the city. That's the that's the challenge.
That's their argument at least that that's a you know,
a portion of the Democratic primary bates and that the
general election, and it's possible. You know, this is such
a thing that it would basically take the Republicans to
New York, the Independence, the older people, the Jews to
(23:17):
like sort of all get together and say we're going
to let all bygones be bygones. We're going to do
whatever it takes to make sure that this guy does
not become there. When you think about what he stands for,
it's very outside the mainstream even of a lot of
people here in la I mean, he's in favor of
not a fan of capitalism, literally, doesn't really believe in capitalism,
(23:40):
not a fan of Israel at all, supports free Palestine,
not a fan of the police. What the defund the police,
you know, and then wants to do everything for free
with some magical tax increase of ten billion dollars that
I'm not sure I was going to pass. And so
he wants to give free free buses and free trains.
You think about that when we tried that here in
(24:02):
southern California. It didn't work out so well. Right now
we're spending our time trying to add more fares because
all the people that stayed on the trains for free
were a lot of them were homeless people who are
doing drugs and attacking people. Right, I don't you know,
it seems like LA actually tried a lot of this
like uber uber progressive thing, and now there's a pushback
(24:23):
here in LA because it didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Right, But if you're a Republican, wouldn't it make sense
to send money to this guy to try to get
him in office.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Unless you live in New York.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, right, if you don't live in New York, let
them deal with it, you know, send the guy a
couple hundred bucks, let him win and see how that goes.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Meaning it's such a he's the poster child for a
democratic excess and you'd like to run again. I understand
what you're saying, But it's also the biggest city in
the country, and it might not be great for our
economy of the center of global finances having this experiment.
But I don't know. I don't endorse, right.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I get it, But man, is he really come out
of nowhere?
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You know well. And it's also a reminder, by the way,
of the power of social media. I mean, the guy
is exactly young and fun and kind of funny, and
he's good at he's good at TikTok. He's out there,
you know. And then the Democrats run Andrew Croomo, who
is so old and flawed, right, the guy that's been
(25:23):
governor been kicked out because the sexual assignment. They just
assume running the same playbook. I think, whatever you think,
whether you're a Republican or Democrat, I think there are
lessons that every politician can learn from this guy. And
the other thing he did, which is he didn't make
his whole campaign about Donald Trump. He made his campaign
about New York. He made it about affordability, which is
(25:44):
which is an issue, by the way, if you were
to run in California, the number one issue in this
state if you look at poll after pole, is affordability. Now,
you may not like what he said about affordability, but
at least he identified a problem that people actually think about.
It's not just about running against the White House. It's
about trying to solve the problems and the local government.
(26:04):
You may not like a solutions but I give him
credit for being running a really good campaign.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I'm with you, buddy, appreciate you coming on ten thirty tonight.
The issue is the issue is I have a nice weekend.
Well I don't know if it will be here next week.
But if we don't have a great fourth.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Happy for it. And so from this, I'm judging that
you would vote for Zran.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Is that that's even Send him a couple.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Of bucks, send him some money, you want to everybody
try that.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Look if if if he wins, there's a lot of
wealthy people leave LA. I leave New York and they're
going to come to LA and our property values are
going to go up.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
How about that day?
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, we're going to be the conservative answer to New York.
Come to come to California for reasonable tax follows.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, come to the come to Red City, La. Enjoy yourself.
But I appreciate you coming on. Thanks man, All right
with you? Alex Michaelson Ding dong with that guy. Oh,
I won't come back. I promised. We've had one guest
after another f another, but I promised you we're gonna
come back and tell you what is going to cost
you to take that bag? This year this summer on
(27:13):
these airlines Alaska, American Delta, Hawaiian Jet Blue. You're not
gonna believe one of them is unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but
in the last six months, and I don't know why
it's happened in the last six months. But whenever I
go any place, whether I've got to California Pizza Kitchen today,
I went to Islands not bragging, made a couple of
bucks I can slide in there, or Chick fil A
or Jack in the Box or Taco bell I do
(27:49):
something about my diet. All the new kids, all the
kids that are like between sixteen and twenty, you know,
the ones that have this is their first job and
they're working. Man. I tell you, they all have a
smile on their face and they all really seem to
enjoy their jobs. And I don't know where that came from,
but I've noticed it in the last six months. The people,
(28:12):
the kids working at fast food or restaurants, waiters, bus boys,
they all seem to have a pep in their step.
I don't know whether they're told to do that. I
went to island today. I dealt with a very nice
young lady named Destiny. She was the best waitress ever,
had great personality in the Islands in Sherman Oaks. And
(28:32):
then over the weekend I went to California Pizza Kitchen
and there was a young lady named Sophia that helped
me out, and she had a great personality and she
helped me out, got the order right. And then at
a kid named Wan over at Chick fil A. I
got Chick fil A sauce with my order and he's like,
you know, we got other sauces. I always see you
(28:53):
get Chick fil A. How about here try a buffalo
in a sweet and sour. I'm like, Oh, that kid's
going to go somewhere. These kids are going to go
somewhere because working is all enthusiasm. And I keep trying
to tell that to everybody. When you show up to work,
you if you're enthusiastic, they'll never let you go. They'll
(29:14):
never let you go. They can't let you go because
they like you. And you can never fire a friend.
You never fire somebody who people like. Well, not always,
but sometimes that happens. But the enthusiasm the kids have
nowadays at these fast food places is great. There's a
young lady who works at the Taco bell on Buena
(29:34):
Vista and Magnolia, and her grandparents raised her. And I
said to her one day, I said, hey, I said,
you know what I said, You've got a great personality.
And I don't know who raised you, but they did
a great job. And she said, oh, I can't wait
to call my grandmother to tell her that, because she
was raised by her grandmother, her grandparents. And I always
(29:57):
tell kids like that, I'm like a ninety year old,
we are doing a great job. You know. I'm like,
I turned into that guy overnight. I don't know what happened,
but I always tell these kids. If I see somebody
who's great at their job, who's enthusiastic, I always tell them,
keep it up, keep it up. You're going to go
places with that personality. So if you're listening, maybe you're
(30:19):
on your way to work. Keep it up, keep it up.
It's all personality, all right. Airlines are going to charge
a lot of money for bags this summer. Alaska Airline,
your carry on is free, then it's thirty forty and
then one hundred dollars for your third bag. How about this,
American Airlines, they're going to give you a carry on
for free. Your first bag's thirty five, second, forty five
(30:41):
third bag on American Airlines two one hundred dollars two
hundred bucks. Delta Airlines carry on for free thirty dollars
first bag, forty dollars second bag, one fifty for your
third bag. Frontier Airlines, your carry on will cost you
fifteen thousand dollars. Your first bag is twenty grand, your
(31:04):
second bag is forty five grand, and your third bag
is you have to you have to take a heat
lockout pay for that. No Frontier Airlines thirty five dollars
to carry a bag. On Frontier Airlines for just a backpack,
they're going to charge you thirty five dollars, then thirty,
forty five and eighty five. Hawaiian Airlines free carry on,
(31:24):
first bag, thirty second forty. Southwest Airlines used to be free, free,
free one or seventy five used to be free carry
on free first bag, free second bag, and then seventy
five for your third bag. That's going away. Spirit Airlines
thirty five to forty bucks for your carry on bag.
(31:47):
Sun Country Airlines don't really know where they fly, but
maybe Sunny State thirty, thirty, thirty and sixty. United Airlines
free for your carry on, thirty for your first bag,
forty second bag, one p fifty for your third bag. Oh,
I don't know where people get the money to travel.
We're live on KFI AM six forty. I'll tell you
(32:08):
that though, right here on KFI AM six forty. Oh.
