Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right, this has
this is not an advertiser. I was just at a
buddy's house today in Burbank, and he's a big guy,
and they're they're all about being big in this family.
(00:21):
So I'm not overstepping. I'm not insulting them.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You know. It's they live in a house called the
Big House. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
He's big, his wife's big, his kids are big. Everyone's big, right.
Think got a big car, they got big furniture, and
they're just the bigs and they're just enjoying it, you know,
for now, right, you know later on in life, who knows,
you know what what happens. But I smelled his wife
was cooking something in the kitchen. It really smelled good. Right,
(00:50):
I'm like, hey, what's your wife cooking? And he walks
in there and he opens up this thing and he says, oh,
these sausages, And I go, oh, man, I love the
I love sausages. You want to stay for sausages. I'm like, yeah,
I'll stay for sausages.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So I looked at this thing that they're cooking it on.
It looks like a foreman, grill. Is that a foreman?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
He says, No, that's our sausage. Griller. I'm like, what
should be talking? Wait anute hold them and say you wait,
sausage grill. I said, should you have a special piece
of equipment?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Michelle talks about that she's got one the sausage really yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I've never seen it before, but I guess Johnsonville
or whoever makes this sausage, it makes this equipment. And man,
I really appreciate the fact that you're going for it
in life. When you have a special piece of equipment
that knocks sausages out see.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Post fixture of it all the time, it's great. Yeah,
I want to get one.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I the reason why I don't cook sausage all the
time is because they burn. You know, you can't evenly
cook them. You know, they're burned on one side. Then
you flip them around and they're not trained right, they'll
flip right back to the burn side right, And then
you like try to hold it in the middle, and
you spend all the all day trying to perfect this sausage.
You finally just say, ah, sprew it. But this thing,
(02:06):
and again, this is not a commercial. We're not plugging
away here. This is a piece of sausage equipment. Right,
let's crank up the computer here, Brestblan.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
But there's better than delicious Johnson Phil sausages and brats. Yeah,
Johnson Phil sausage grilled just made them even better. Just
open it up, loaded up any.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You can cook four She had, she had, she was
cooking fourteen sausages at a time, right, And it cooks
them like the form and grill. But the place where
you put the sausages, it's encased one hundred percent inside,
so you know that when you put the top down,
the entire sausage cooks on the top and the bottom.
And man, it was so crisp on the outside. It's
(02:49):
it's gonna drip pan in the front, exactly the side. Yeah,
that's exactly right. And it's got a drip pan. It's
got it's crisp on the outside and really juicy on
the inside. And I've never you know, been a guy
for you know, getting special equipment to cook stuff, but
I went home and ordered one of these things. You really, Yeah,
I got a sausage maker coming.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's great actual they go for. Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Forty nine or something like that. It was with shipping
and handling. I remember what it was.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
It was.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh no, it's two payments of forty nine. So what
is that one hundred? I think it was a total
of one hundred and nine dollars or something like that.
And I didn't give a rat's ass. Man, I was gonna.
I could have been seven hundred dollars and I would
have been. Yeah, it hooked me up.
Speaker 4 (03:33):

Speaker 6 (12:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I walked into a Starbucks in Westwood. This is twenty
years ago, yeah, maybe twenty fifteen, twenty years ago, and
I'm walking. It was very early in the morning. He's
like six thirty in the morning. I just got off work.
And the guy says, I, hey for twenty bucks, i'll
you know, right, And he said the whole word and
(13:14):
I'm like, uh, I only got ten bucks on mate?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Could I get a half and a half without the
other half?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Is there a ten dollars version of that?
Speaker 8 (13:27):
I just got the U and drop the note.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
But I didn't take him up on it.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And what At one point I was thinking, which way
does the money go? I mean, how excited is he?
Do I pay or he pays?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I don't know that world that well, right, But that
was kind of odd in Westwood where there are a
lot of people around, and the guy was in the bushes.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He was, hey, I just heard a voice from the bush,
so great. He's rattling around in.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
The bushes and I look in there and goes he goes, hey,
give me twenty dollars and I'll I'll blank you. I'm like, ah,
I look at my pine.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I got ten bucks?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Was the bush following you down the side stop?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And he was like offended by he goes he goes,
I don't do that for ten dollars. I'm like, buddy,
you do it. You do it for a double that.
I mean, it's not like it's not like you know
some high class you know, Chicken Vegas.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
You know he's hiding. He's telling you from the bushes, right,
ten dollars like a hobo.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And then so I told buddy of mine like a
week later, that that happened, and he says, he goes
to that Starbucks and it's happened. It hasn't happened him,
but he knows people it's happened to. I'm like, wow,
that guy's that guy's got a successful business.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
He tell you he'll do ten word of mouth.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Yeah, exactly, And apparently he's he's selective as well.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean your friend didn't. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I wonderful.
I was offended by it that he was like, oh,
I wouldn't touch that after twenty dollars. I did, or
maybe I looked at it this way. I looked at it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Maybe his price was one hundred, but he thought, wow,
that guy looked like pretty studeley. I'll give him an
offer for twenty. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
You can't tell yourself.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
I do.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I do.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I tell myself that all the time every time I
think about that story. And like, that guy knocked eighty
bucks off because he thought I was and I broke
his heart.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I said, no, there the boys just waddled away.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, I wonder if he don't. He didn't sound offended.
It sounded like no was the pronominant answer with that routine.
But obviously he's he's been there for a while. He's
been doing it for a while, so maybe you know
there are some fish that.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Bite probably you know, Yeah, it's just a numb yeah,
I mean, you know, throwing s on the wall.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
See it sticks spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Right, it was an odd morning, right, I'm like nothings.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Buddy, you still got it though.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, But but I I said, I said to him,
I said, no, not right now, right now?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And he said, but that mean I said, I said.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
In life, you know, you change, you know, you know,
maybe in ten years from now, well open we'll hook up,
let me up. Yeah, but maybe, but before that, maybe
a dinner in a show.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I don't know. I don't like to jump into it
like that, all right, we're like to.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Jump in the bush like that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
He did seem like he was in pretty good shape though.
I mean, it wasn't like a slob, right.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
He was in a bush.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I always wondering, like if I said, yes, do I
go into the bush or we go somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I don't know the bush? Do I go into his bush?
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
You just walk right up to the bush. Nobody will
notice anything. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well, I always thought that that was a one that
got away.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
You still think about it?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
How about you got in your pocket right now? I
think about how strange it was, right, you know, like
Bradley around. The boy's like, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Hey?

In Climate Watch, Wired's January cover story is taking readers
far into the mostly unknown, all the way to Antarctica's
tweets Glacier. The story What's called tweets Narctica's tweets Glacier
twets Glacier tweets Glacier. The story The race to understand
Antarctica's most terrifying glacier looks at the science being used
to understand the giant glacier and hopefully slow it's collapse.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
The way it's glacier is comparable to the size of Florida.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Wow, that's huge.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
It's signed to say that it's having an impact on
rising sea levels and has impacts that can even change
the course of civilization. So John Gertner is the author
of that story and Wired, and he's also working on
his second book about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Wow, guy's got two books on one one glacier.
Speaker 3 (18:30):

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, she didn't think it was.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
No, that was kind of a Yeah, that was a perfunctory.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
Which will be out this summer. That's interesting. It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
She can't even fake it.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I do.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Is that what you get at the end of the world. Wow,
it's really going to get cold.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I guess, oh, I guess hot. And I like that
she couldn't even get up for it.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
That's interesting.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
You really like to spend time. What are you dress
like with all these different places? You?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Hey, how can we change the pattern on your couch? Well,
I'm here to talk about the end of the world.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, So go on.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
That's interesting. Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I do?
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Geez, okay, So let's talk about this glacier, which I
didn't know anything about. So give us the basics.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
What wish? What a shocker.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
It's very hard to get to. Actually, only about two
dozen people have ever been there.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
In wow history to wait, two dozen people have ever
even seen this glacier?
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Holy smokes, and it's There are three things I think
worth knowing about Thwaites are. One, it's really large. It's
the size of Florida or the size of Great Britain,
so it contains an immense amount of ice, right. And
the second thing is that it's unstable. Warm otion waters
are eroding the bottom of it so that it's starting
to pull back and retreat and collect.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Glaciers do right, The glaciers hate warm water.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
The third thing is that it's interconnected with all these
other glaciers in the same area of the sea, and
if Thwaits goes then all of those can go as well.
So we're talking anywhere of several feet of sea level
rise to a worst case scenario of something like ten
feet of sea level rise.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Wow, minute, what a worst.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Case scenario of something like ten feet of sea level rise?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Ten foot of every ocean is going to go up
ten feet? Is this glacier worst case? Do you believe that?
Speaker 7 (21:39):
I guess it's huge. You believe no reason to doubt
the guy. But that's worst case. Maybe it'll go up
seven feet five feet.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Well, even if it goes up like two or three inches,
it's going to wipe out a lot of places. Oh
my god, Yes, that's right. So we got to run. Yeah,
can you finish out here where we were in Burbank?
We can fit tonight, but I'm not coming in tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Downtown Miami is like underwater constantly all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
The roads is that right? Well, they got it.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You gotta move, Yeah, get out there, but I'm not
coming in tomorrow. We're gonna we should go to a
big bear, big Bear's cool, right, should be Okay.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
So in your report, Wire says the demise of this
glacier could rise by more than a dozen feet. And
this is a quote. When that happens, Goodbye Miami, goodbye Boston.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's really stark.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
It's stark. It's terrifying a streeter and under Christ.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Has not killed its property value and bought in Miami.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
In Boston.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Uh, yeah, it's bargains. You definitely would find some bargains.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Wall did you work in Miami, Crozier, do you know
people live in Miami. Yeah, my sisters live there and
they and the streets are constantly flooded.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Huh yeah, like all the time.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, it doesn't take much like of a rain to
get water two or three inches at least on the streets,
the surface streets of downtown Miami.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
So they got to be panicked over this glacier. Oh yeah, horrible.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Why isn't they want panicking like I am. Well, you
guys will just sit in here. We're about to die.
You guys don't care. Well, Uh, you can't like to
wait to the end of the report.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I can swim.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Okay, maybe there's maybe there's a surprise there, but there's
one other thing.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah, waiting for one one another one. Guy at the doctor.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Is there anything we can do? There is one thing. Yeah,
we could freeze it a little more.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
A Streeter and Under Christian, who's the main scientist in
my story, talks about it as the world's most terrifying glacier.
I think time is really important to understand in the situation.
It's not like it's going to slide into the sea
right away. Ah, okay, And the scientists that are studying
this and that are going to spend the next five
years working on trying to understand it better, are trying
(23:53):
to figure out how fast can this thing move into
the ocean?
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Okay, you do a really good job at sort of
describing just how massive this is. And the challenge is.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do a really good job, he says, the size of Florida,
right yeah, or.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Great Britain there.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Wow, you do an unbelievable job because you've related to
a state here in the United States for US, and
then if you're in Europe, you good related to a
great bit Britain.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Man, you really knocked that out. How want to take
you to put that together?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
When it comes to you did.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
A great job listen to her again.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
You do a really good job at sort of describing
just how massive this is. And the challenge is when
it comes to the technology being used to understand what's happened.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Meanwhile, her uh, you know, the co anchor of this
news has COVID in the background.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
When it comes to the technology to the.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Got almighty, She's not worried about that guy, right, She's
worried about this glacier that's nine thousand miles from her
that isn't going to fall into the ocean for another
five years. But the guy who's got you know, covid
and and sneezing all over her hair where a hair's moving,
she doesn't care about that guy.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
To the technology being used, I thought.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That that deep how about going to work with that
kind of cough. And in today's day and age where
everyone is so freaked out about anyone sneezing, you know,
you you see a guy and you hear a guy
in the market sneeze, right now, everybody looks to see
who the f that was. That's right, and this guy
has gone to work with that horse, that that deep
horse cough.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The technology that guy's at work.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
When it comes to the technology being wow to the
technology being used to understand what's happening. Can you talk
a little bit about the technology?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Sure, yeah, sure, if you can get that guy out
of here, I'll talk about that glacier all day.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
But you gotta get that guy the f out of here.
That guy broke something loose.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, I don't know what the hell he has, man,
but he is not He's not going to see this
glacier fall into the ocean.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
He's not gonna get around for that crap. Let's get
back to this.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I want to find out what we're in for with
this glacier, right, I want to find out first of all,
why are they taking it so casually? You know, obviously
there's other audio out there that people are a little
more serious about this. You'd hope these hosts are like,
really light. If this glacier is gonna wipe us out,
and I believe Krozier right that Miami is already starting
(26:10):
to feel the effects of the sea rising, then these
people are acting real casual about the end of the
world here.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
And one reason it's hard to study is it's really
hard to get to Thwaite. It's eight hundred miles from
McMurdo station. So this is a really remote place.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
And when you describe getting to McMurdo station, which is
really really remote, I thought, Okay, that's it, and then
you write and that's not it. There's more to go, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:33):
It's just a stopping place on the way to go
somewhere farther.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
All right, We're live on KFI AM six forty 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 iHeart Radio app.
It's k IF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am sixty and you're listening to the Conway Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app. All right, this has
this is not an advertiser. I was just at a
buddy's house today in Burbank, and he's a big guy,
and they're they're all about being big in this family.
(00:21):
So I'm not overstepping. I'm not insulting them.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You know. It's they live in a house called the
Big House. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
He's big, his wife's big, his kids are big. Everyone's big, right.
Think got a big car, they got big furniture, and
they're just the bigs and they're just enjoying it, you know,
for now, right, you know later on in life, who knows,
you know what what happens. But I smelled his wife
was cooking something in the kitchen. It really smelled good. Right,
(00:50):
I'm like, hey, what's your wife cooking? And he walks
in there and he opens up this thing and he says, oh,
these sausages, And I go, oh, man, I love the
I love sausages. You want to stay for sausages. I'm like, yeah,
I'll stay for sausages.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
So I looked at this thing that they're cooking it on.
It looks like a foreman, grill. Is that a foreman?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
He says, No, that's our sausage. Griller. I'm like, what
should be talking? Wait anute hold them and say you wait,
sausage grill. I said, should you have a special piece
of equipment?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Michelle talks about that she's got one the sausage really yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
And I've never seen it before, but I guess Johnsonville
or whoever makes this sausage, it makes this equipment. And man,
I really appreciate the fact that you're going for it
in life. When you have a special piece of equipment
that knocks sausages out see.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Post fixture of it all the time, it's great. Yeah,
I want to get one.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I the reason why I don't cook sausage all the
time is because they burn. You know, you can't evenly
cook them. You know, they're burned on one side. Then
you flip them around and they're not trained right, they'll
flip right back to the burn side right, And then
you like try to hold it in the middle, and
you spend all the all day trying to perfect this sausage.
You finally just say, ah, sprew it. But this thing,
(02:06):
and again, this is not a commercial. We're not plugging
away here. This is a piece of sausage equipment. Right,
let's crank up the computer here, Brestblan.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
But there's better than delicious Johnson Phil sausages and brats. Yeah,
Johnson Phil sausage grilled just made them even better. Just
open it up, loaded up any.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You can cook four She had, she had, she was
cooking fourteen sausages at a time, right, And it cooks
them like the form and grill. But the place where
you put the sausages, it's encased one hundred percent inside,
so you know that when you put the top down,
the entire sausage cooks on the top and the bottom.
And man, it was so crisp on the outside. It's
(02:49):
it's gonna drip pan in the front, exactly the side. Yeah,
that's exactly right. And it's got a drip pan. It's
got it's crisp on the outside and really juicy on
the inside. And I've never you know, been a guy
for you know, getting special equipment to cook stuff, but
I went home and ordered one of these things. You really, Yeah,
I got a sausage maker coming.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's great actual they go for. Yeah, I think it was.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Forty nine or something like that. It was with shipping
and handling. I remember what it was.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
It was.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh no, it's two payments of forty nine. So what
is that one hundred? I think it was a total
of one hundred and nine dollars or something like that.
And I didn't give a rat's ass. Man, I was gonna.
I could have been seven hundred dollars and I would
have been. Yeah, it hooked me up.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
All good things happen when a conversation starts with you
want to stay for sausages?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And and man, I know a lot of people listening
right now. You love those Sunday morning sausages, belly. I
bet you knock out breakfast on a Sunday, right, yeah,
you kick what do you cook? Bacon and eggs and
toast and all that stuff? And the whole house smells
like it.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
It only takes minutes, and you'll always have a delicious,
crispy on the out, juicy on me inside the master.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh man, that is I'll tell you how to get there.
For people at uh, you know, want to buy one
of these things like I did. It's called what was
the website Grill Sausage or Sausage Grilled dot com anyway
you'll find it's the Sausage Grill. And it really is
one of the one of the highlights of my years
(04:22):
that I found this piece of equipment just by being
over at my dumb buddy's house.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de mail from
KF I A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
A j oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
When things get.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Puffing stuff, they gone with this hru pupping stuff.

It was created by Sid and Marty Kroft, and Marty
Kroft is with us. Uh, mister Kroft.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
How are you, sir?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh? Not as good as you, buddy, I was. Your

My brother is incredible, but he never has a clock.
See you never know when he's showing up. But he
is creative. And you know, without Sid, we don't have Sid.

can't believe all the stuff that happens. Oh yeah, my
daughters people call me a legend. You should hear what
(05:53):
my daughters called me.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (05:56):

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Mary, how did you come up with puff and stuff?
And was it like?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Everyone says it's you know, code for smoking weed? Is
that true?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You know? Well, my brother says the show stands for uh,
it stands though I think for hand rolled. Everybody believes
she's the only one that has another name for it.
But who knows. It had nothing to do with drugs.
One thing we never did was anything to do with
drugs and people. If we did as many drugs as
(07:20):
everybody thought, I'll tell you we'd be on the moon today.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Kidding. I love this song.

Friend they get to go there, you'll be glad you did.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Connybody who goes?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I love that song and I love how long the
intro was with all the expository information. You know, it's
a kid who went to a carnival then he saw
a magic show. Then there's a hat and.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Who I mean who played who?
Speaker 3 (07:59):

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Okay? But what type of shows do you watch? And
what what makes h you know? You what?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
What do you look at now and go wow, that's
really great?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I hate to admit it. I'm a news junkie. Yeah,
me too, Okay, but I have nothing to do with
being political. But there are a lot of people I
don't like in the news and what's going on right now.
I'm depressed, but there's nothing we can do about it.
What's that? I guess? Donate something?
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Who's your who are your favorite?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Like?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm a big news junkie as well. You know, I
watched that. I like Tucker Carlson and a couple of
other guys.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
My new favorite. My new favorite is Pamela Adlin who
does who does better Things? On FX?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
He ran into me at Kelson's I didn't know who
it was. She's I saw a patch on my jacket
that said Land of the Loss. She said, who are you?
Said of Marty? I said, Marty, I'm a good looking one.
So then I had a conversation with her. Then I
didn't know who she was. The next thing I know,
I get an offer from her show to do it.
That gave me a heart attack. But we got real close.
(09:17):
And then when she did Jimmy Kimmel a week ago,
I couldn't believe she talked about us for a whole interviews.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So she's a big, big, big fan of OZ. But
I'm a I love her. She's the best person.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah. Now, Mark, Marty, did you start in New York
and came out?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Tellane? Well, I was born in Montreal and then I
wound up in Providence as a baby, and then we
went to the Bronx when we were destitute. You know,
we lived with cocker, roaches and mice in the Bronx
and my major in school was survival, right right?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
What was your big with your first big hit was? It?
Was it hr puffin stuff?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Well, you know, we were around for my brother had
an act where he opened with Judy Garland, Sinatra Liberaci.
I joined them then and we had a lot of
I mean, we start on the Dean Martin series on NBC,
you know, with our puppets getting the same building as
Elvis Presley and everybody else was a guest. So we've
(10:17):
been around. This didn't happen overnight. Our live shows, of course,
we played the millions of people from six Flags to
the Hollywood Bowl, the Greek I mean, we've been around.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You know when my dad was doing you know, when
he first started, you know, getting his career started in
the sixties and early seventies. He used to play at
Magic Mountain all the time. It was a big event, right.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Well, your dad, guy, gotta tell you he was the
nicest human being.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So talented. I mean, he was the funniest guy. And
when he hired Louise Duot to go on tour, so
that blew my mind. And she loved it. Of course,
he made her financially wealthy, right and and.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Her and her husband have a great thing going. You know,
they're really into their religious programming. They have the God
Wings too. She's a terrific lady.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
God. By the way, you don't know this. I introduced them.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh I didn't know that. That's great.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He was at ABC, he was ahead of kids programming
and Good Morning America, and she was starring in the
Cross Super Show with Captain Coole and the cons and
I insduced them and they've been together ever since.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'll tell you a quick story.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
My dad wrote a book about his life and it
did so well, went to a second and third printing,
so they asked him to do a second book. And
he wrote the first thirty pages and he gave it
to my stepmother, who's a terrific critic. You know, she'll
tell him whether he likes it, whether she likes it
or not. And she said, it's some of the best
stuff you've ever written in your life. But it's all
in your first book.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Oh that's funny. Great, well listening. He's lucky. I haven't
found a pen or a piece of paper yet. I
mean to sit down and write a book.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I walked into a Starbucks in Westwood. This is twenty
years ago, yeah, maybe twenty fifteen, twenty years ago, and
I'm walking. It was very early in the morning. He's
like six thirty in the morning. I just got off work.
And the guy says, I, hey for twenty bucks, i'll
you know, right, And he said the whole word and
(13:14):
I'm like, uh, I only got ten bucks on mate?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Could I get a half and a half without the
other half?
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Is there a ten dollars version of that?
Speaker 8 (13:27):
I just got the U and drop the note.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
But I didn't take him up on it.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And what At one point I was thinking, which way
does the money go? I mean, how excited is he?
Do I pay or he pays?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I don't know that world that well, right, But that
was kind of odd in Westwood where there are a
lot of people around, and the guy was in the bushes.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He was, hey, I just heard a voice from the bush,
so great. He's rattling around in.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
The bushes and I look in there and goes he goes, hey,
give me twenty dollars and I'll I'll blank you. I'm like, ah,
I look at my pine.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I got ten bucks?
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Was the bush following you down the side stop?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And he was like offended by he goes he goes,
I don't do that for ten dollars. I'm like, buddy,
you do it. You do it for a double that.
I mean, it's not like it's not like you know
some high class you know, Chicken Vegas.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
You know he's hiding. He's telling you from the bushes, right,
ten dollars like a hobo.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
And then so I told buddy of mine like a
week later, that that happened, and he says, he goes
to that Starbucks and it's happened. It hasn't happened him,
but he knows people it's happened to. I'm like, wow,
that guy's that guy's got a successful business.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
He tell you he'll do ten word of mouth.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
Yeah, exactly, And apparently he's he's selective as well.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean your friend didn't. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I wonderful.
I was offended by it that he was like, oh,
I wouldn't touch that after twenty dollars. I did, or
maybe I looked at it this way. I looked at it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Maybe his price was one hundred, but he thought, wow,
that guy looked like pretty studeley. I'll give him an
offer for twenty. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:25):
You can't tell yourself.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
I do.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I do.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I tell myself that all the time every time I
think about that story. And like, that guy knocked eighty
bucks off because he thought I was and I broke
his heart.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I said, no, there the boys just waddled away.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, I wonder if he don't. He didn't sound offended.
It sounded like no was the pronominant answer with that routine.
But obviously he's he's been there for a while. He's
been doing it for a while, so maybe you know
there are some fish that.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Bite probably you know, Yeah, it's just a numb yeah,
I mean, you know, throwing s on the wall.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
See it sticks spaghetti.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Right, it was an odd morning, right, I'm like nothings.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Buddy, you still got it though.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, But but I I said, I said to him,
I said, no, not right now, right now?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And he said, but that mean I said, I said.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
In life, you know, you change, you know, you know,
maybe in ten years from now, well open we'll hook up,
let me up. Yeah, but maybe, but before that, maybe
a dinner in a show.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I don't know. I don't like to jump into it
like that, all right, we're like to.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Jump in the bush like that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
He did seem like he was in pretty good shape though.
I mean, it wasn't like a slob, right.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
He was in a bush.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I always wondering, like if I said, yes, do I
go into the bush or we go somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I don't know the bush? Do I go into his bush?
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
You just walk right up to the bush. Nobody will
notice anything. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well, I always thought that that was a one that
got away.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
You still think about it?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
How about you got in your pocket right now? I
think about how strange it was, right, you know, like
Bradley around. The boy's like, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
For twenty bucks, I'll blank you. M I am early
for my meeting and I've made a couple of bucks
in life? What is that a sleeping bag?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So we got an ice shelf. That is a doomsday
ice shelf. Let's find out where that's the sucker is.
Speaker 9 (17:44):
In Climate Watch, Wired's January cover story is taking readers
far into the mostly unknown, all the way to Antarctica's
tweets Glacier. The story What's called tweets Narctica's tweets Glacier
twets Glacier tweets Glacier. The story The race to understand
Antarctica's most terrifying glacier looks at the science being used
to understand the giant glacier and hopefully slow it's collapse.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
The way it's glacier is comparable to the size of Florida.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Wow, that's huge.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
It's signed to say that it's having an impact on
rising sea levels and has impacts that can even change
the course of civilization. So John Gertner is the author
of that story and Wired, and he's also working on
his second book about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Wow, guy's got two books on one one glacier.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
No, No, the Greenland ice sheet is different.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I think he's got let me see, two books on
the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
He's also working on his second book about the melting
of the Greenland ice sheet.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
So he's done two books on the melting.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Of a I think he's working on I listened to it.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
He's also working on his second book about the melting
of the Greenland.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Ice the's two books on that.
Speaker 7 (18:55):
About that man?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
People like that information. That's a lot, Yeah, got it, mighty.
I think there was only one book on Jesus. Was
it the Bible?
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I didn't realize that. I thought they're actually there's the
Old Testament yeah, just I guess just too. Yeah, because
I've gone in looking for more and they said, no,
we only have two books.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
About your Testaments. Yeah, what's your favorite? The older one?
Speaker 7 (19:14):
Well, you know, it depends on my mood.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah. Have you ever read the Bible covered.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Co I've probably knocked off every uh six months.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
You know, it's the only book that it is available
when you check into a hotel. You know, it's almost
in every room now, I mean it's not it's not wild.
It's still in every room, and so is the Koran.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
Now really well, not in every room, but I've noticed
I opened up the there are two books in there
Koran they know.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yeah, get into these hotels.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Now, that'll be a third book, and it'll be about
the Ice Shelf.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, that's right, the big.
Speaker 8 (19:44):
Ice Shelf, which will be out this summer. That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, she didn't think it was.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
No, that was kind of a Yeah, that was a perfunctory.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
Which will be out this summer. That's interesting. It's interesting.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
She can't even fake it.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
I do.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
Is that what you get at the end of the world. Wow,
it's really going to get cold.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I guess, oh, I guess hot. And I like that
she couldn't even get up for it.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
That's interesting.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
You really like to spend time. What are you dress
like with all these different places? You?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Hey, how can we change the pattern on your couch? Well,
I'm here to talk about the end of the world.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, So go on.
Speaker 8 (20:29):
That's interesting. Well, you like to spend time in cold places?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I do?
Speaker 8 (20:34):
Geez, okay, So let's talk about this glacier, which I
didn't know anything about. So give us the basics.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
What wish? What a shocker.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
It's very hard to get to. Actually, only about two
dozen people have ever been there.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
In wow history to wait, two dozen people have ever
even seen this glacier?
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Holy smokes, and it's There are three things I think
worth knowing about Thwaites are. One, it's really large. It's
the size of Florida or the size of Great Britain,
so it contains an immense amount of ice, right. And
the second thing is that it's unstable. Warm otion waters
are eroding the bottom of it so that it's starting
to pull back and retreat and collect.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Glaciers do right, The glaciers hate warm water.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
The third thing is that it's interconnected with all these
other glaciers in the same area of the sea, and
if Thwaits goes then all of those can go as well.
So we're talking anywhere of several feet of sea level
rise to a worst case scenario of something like ten
feet of sea level rise.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Wow, minute, what a worst.
Speaker 10 (21:29):
Case scenario of something like ten feet of sea level rise?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Ten foot of every ocean is going to go up
ten feet? Is this glacier worst case? Do you believe that?
Speaker 7 (21:39):
I guess it's huge. You believe no reason to doubt
the guy. But that's worst case. Maybe it'll go up
seven feet five feet.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Well, even if it goes up like two or three inches,
it's going to wipe out a lot of places. Oh
my god, Yes, that's right. So we got to run. Yeah,
can you finish out here where we were in Burbank?
We can fit tonight, but I'm not coming in tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Downtown Miami is like underwater constantly all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
The roads is that right? Well, they got it.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
You gotta move, Yeah, get out there, but I'm not
coming in tomorrow. We're gonna we should go to a
big bear, big Bear's cool, right, should be Okay.
Speaker 9 (22:17):
So in your report, Wire says the demise of this
glacier could rise by more than a dozen feet. And
this is a quote. When that happens, Goodbye Miami, goodbye Boston.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's really stark.
Speaker 10 (22:27):
It's stark. It's terrifying a streeter and under Christ.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Has not killed its property value and bought in Miami.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
In Boston.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Uh, yeah, it's bargains. You definitely would find some bargains.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Wall did you work in Miami, Crozier, do you know
people live in Miami. Yeah, my sisters live there and
they and the streets are constantly flooded.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Huh yeah, like all the time.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, it doesn't take much like of a rain to
get water two or three inches at least on the streets,
the surface streets of downtown Miami.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
So they got to be panicked over this glacier. Oh yeah, horrible.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Why isn't they want panicking like I am. Well, you
guys will just sit in here. We're about to die.
You guys don't care. Well, Uh, you can't like to
wait to the end of the report.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
I can swim.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Okay, maybe there's maybe there's a surprise there, but there's
one other thing.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah, waiting for one one another one. Guy at the doctor.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Is there anything we can do? There is one thing. Yeah,
we could freeze it a little more.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
A Streeter and Under Christian, who's the main scientist in
my story, talks about it as the world's most terrifying glacier.
I think time is really important to understand in the situation.
It's not like it's going to slide into the sea
right away. Ah, okay, And the scientists that are studying
this and that are going to spend the next five
years working on trying to understand it better, are trying
(23:53):
to figure out how fast can this thing move into
the ocean?
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Okay, you do a really good job at sort of
describing just how massive this is. And the challenge is.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do a really good job, he says, the size of Florida,
right yeah, or.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Great Britain there.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Wow, you do an unbelievable job because you've related to
a state here in the United States for US, and
then if you're in Europe, you good related to a
great bit Britain.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Man, you really knocked that out. How want to take
you to put that together?
Speaker 8 (24:20):
When it comes to you did.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
A great job listen to her again.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
You do a really good job at sort of describing
just how massive this is. And the challenge is when
it comes to the technology being used to understand what's happened.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Meanwhile, her uh, you know, the co anchor of this
news has COVID in the background.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
When it comes to the technology to the.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Got almighty, She's not worried about that guy, right, She's
worried about this glacier that's nine thousand miles from her
that isn't going to fall into the ocean for another
five years. But the guy who's got you know, covid
and and sneezing all over her hair where a hair's moving,
she doesn't care about that guy.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
To the technology being used, I thought.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
That that deep how about going to work with that
kind of cough. And in today's day and age where
everyone is so freaked out about anyone sneezing, you know,
you you see a guy and you hear a guy
in the market sneeze, right now, everybody looks to see
who the f that was. That's right, and this guy
has gone to work with that horse, that that deep
horse cough.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
The technology that guy's at work.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
When it comes to the technology being wow to the
technology being used to understand what's happening. Can you talk
a little bit about the technology?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Sure, yeah, sure, if you can get that guy out
of here, I'll talk about that glacier all day.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
But you gotta get that guy the f out of here.
That guy broke something loose.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, I don't know what the hell he has, man,
but he is not He's not going to see this
glacier fall into the ocean.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
He's not gonna get around for that crap. Let's get
back to this.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I want to find out what we're in for with
this glacier, right, I want to find out first of all,
why are they taking it so casually? You know, obviously
there's other audio out there that people are a little
more serious about this. You'd hope these hosts are like,
really light. If this glacier is gonna wipe us out,
and I believe Krozier right that Miami is already starting
(26:10):
to feel the effects of the sea rising, then these
people are acting real casual about the end of the
world here.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Sure.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
And one reason it's hard to study is it's really
hard to get to Thwaite. It's eight hundred miles from
McMurdo station. So this is a really remote place.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
And when you describe getting to McMurdo station, which is
really really remote, I thought, Okay, that's it, and then
you write and that's not it. There's more to go, right, Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:33):
It's just a stopping place on the way to go
somewhere farther.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
All right, We're live on KFI AM six forty 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
